Doxy and azith are bacteriostatics, they inhibit the replication (and some Cpn die in the process) but don’t directly kill the Cpn. Flagyl/Tini are bacteriocidal, they actually kill bacteria, especially anaerobes, as well as other organisms like protozoa.

Congratulations to all the kids who were born in the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered [...]

After the explosive evacuation on day 3 of the last pulse where I tried to jump in with 3 Metro. per day I went back to where I should have started ie. one per day for five days. This started on 28 Nov 2007 and was easy-ish to tolerate. During the pulse I felt so [...]
