Warning! Doxycycline has immune suppressive effect.
Deoxycycline has a suppression of Pro-inflammatory molecules including matrixmetalloproteinase-9, inducible nitric oxide synthase and interleukin-17.
Ok this is technical garbly gook. To make it simple, the immune system has helper cells and a couple of dozen interlukin pathways, which help guide the immune system.
When you take doxycycline, it breaks a key pathway that regulates response for molds, bacteria-viral balance, and as it turn out, roundworm suppression.
Doxycycline is typically used to clear out SIBO kind of infections in the guts of the parasites, and the body. While this is an essential step in removing parasites, I suggest natural substances like Oregano oil, Chitosan, and a host of others are better.
I suggest if you take Deoxycycline, to limit the dose to 100mg, and the number of days.
I now view Deoxycycline in the same category as steroids, and should be used with extreme caution.
Some have suggested extended courses of this antibiotic. Over a week, or more than a month.
New test data is showing it has some unexpected suppression of the immune system, and therefore should be used in restraint in the case of roundworm infections.
