-The goal of the MP is to eradicate the bacteria that cause inflammatory disease. Many of these bacteria live deep in tissues that may be hard to penetrate with antibiotics. Others are intraphagocytic, living in the very cells meant to kill them. While it's not known how many species of bacteria or how many bacteria cause inflammatory disease, one recent estimate has it that nine out of ten cells in the human body are bacterial; so it may prove to be an asstonishing number.+The goal of the MP is to eradicate the bacteria that cause inflammatory disease.

 When patients first begin the MP, they may optionally use low-dose, pulsed minocycline to reduce patients' bacterial load and to provide a 48-hour cycling of immunopathology symptoms.  When patients first begin the MP, they may optionally use low-dose, pulsed minocycline to reduce patients' bacterial load and to provide a 48-hour cycling of immunopathology symptoms.

   * **light** – Although suntanning is not an option, veterans of the MP may choose to expose their eyes and skin to increasing amounts of light. A word of caution: some patients in later stages of treatment may experience a [[home:mp:stages:stagefive|Stage Five reaction]] when exposed to too much light. To limit the possibility of a severe immunopathological reaction, always increase light exposure (and exercise) gradually. Also, be aware that sometimes an increase in symptoms from light may begin one or two days after exposure and last for several days or even longer.   * **light** – Although suntanning is not an option, veterans of the MP may choose to expose their eyes and skin to increasing amounts of light.

-  * **antibiotics** – In later stages of the MP, the immune system is self-sustaining and can eradicate bacteria without antibiotics. However, there is no harm in using a couple weeks' worth of MP antibiotics as an annual checkup in order to see if they can generate immunopathology.+  * **antibiotics** – In later stages of the MP, the immune system is self-sustaining and can eradicate bacteria without antibiotics. However, there is no harm in using a few weeks' worth of MP antibiotics as an annual checkup in order to see if they can generate immunopathology.
   * **olmesartan (Benicar)** – In later stages of the MP, the Vitamin D Receptor, which controls key components of innate immunity, is properly working again and is activated even in the absence of olmesartan. However, olmesartan is still essential to palliate symptoms and protect organs from systemic immunopathology.   * **olmesartan (Benicar)** – In later stages of the MP, the Vitamin D Receptor, which controls key components of innate immunity, is properly working again and is activated even in the absence of olmesartan.
