Won't I develop a yeast infection if I'm on antibiotics long-term?
The antibiotics on the Marshall Protocol are taken at much lower
doses than usual. Minocycline is the basic antibiotic and it seldom causes
yeast infections at much higher doses.
According to <http://www.rheumatic.org/protocol.htm>Physicians'
Protocol for Using Antibiotics in Rheumatic Disease, "There are several important factors to consider when using Minocin. Unlike the other tetracyclines, it tends not to cause yeast infections. Some infectious disease experts even believe that it has a mild anti-yeast activity. Women can be on this medication for several years and not have any vaginal yeast infections. Nevertheless, it would be prudent to have patients on prophylactic oral Lactobacillus, acidophilus and bifidus preparations. This will help to replace the normal intestinal flora that is killed with the Minocin."
