Everyone has cancer. Your body just usually does a great job clearing it out daily. ROS is one of your body’s best weapons to do this. Vitamin C aids in ROS cleanup of bad cells including cancer. I take 1g of time released vitamin C daily.
It’s cheap and I may excrete most of it, but I don’t see much downside here.

I have a colonoscopy this week (Tuesday). I may give this a whirl next week, I have everything on hand from India. Dr Green said to have azithromycin on hand in case of infection caused by rapa. I also take 200mg of doxy on my rapa days anyway. Ironically over the years I have always noticed I feel better and my hair looked fuller during anti-biotic treatments. It wasn’t in my head apparently (pun intended).

“Our gut microbiome describes the microbes and their genetic material found in our gastrointestinal tract. And we know the bacteria in our gut affect everything from our digestion to our mental health.”
"Mental health conditions have been linked closely to an imbalance of microbiota in the gut, leading to disruption of the microbiome (dysbiosis). Several neurotransmitters, such as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), serotonin, and glutamate, are produced in the gut, which are associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mental health and the gut have been linked closely, and many mental illnesses have been associated with gut dysbiosis.
Things to consider:
Will taking doxycycline, and/or azithromycin affect our gut biome adversely even if we take pro-biotics?
We have been frequently warned about the overuse of antibiotics causing antibiotic-resistant strains. If a large cohort, namely us, starts using antibiotics long-term will we cause a problem?
I don’t know, I am just asking.
“It is irrefutable that antibiotic use promotes resistance development. However, quantifying the specific contribution of antibiotic use to resistance poses some problems.”

All of this talk about anti-aging is undermined by the billions of plastic nanoparticles we all consume each day. If a healthy lifestyle adds 20 years to your life, how many years would that plastic subtract? Scientist are only beginning to investigate the problem, but everyone here knows in their gut that the outcome won’t be good.

I worry about plastic too, but always think of this and have to smile:
The whole thing is good, but he talks about plastic about 5 minutes in.

In my view the “plastic nanoparticles” issue will be larger than the lead issue.
If you have not seen, review a posting from earlier this year.
The same will occur with plastic nanoparticles in the future

As I have post before in another thread, I make my own yogurt like product.
I take a quart of light cream{which is 18% to 30% milk fat] add/dissolve two scoop of inulin. Then add 1x shot{2.7oz/90ml] of Yakult, which is bacteria strain Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota. Set at 100°F in a water bath for 24 hours, you have a heavy clustered like yogurt.
This is one item I will be having more of in-between doing the DAV{doxycycline, azithromycin, vitamin C] therapy.

I love yakult! It’s sweet without any sweetener.
Let us know how this goes. I have the doxy 100mg, but have not tried it yet. He didn’t have 50’s and it’s in capsules so kind of hard to split. I don’t know what to do. Really curious how this will work for you.

From the study in the first post…
“the concentrations of antibiotics used here represent sub-antimicrobial levels of Doxycycline and Azithromycin, thereby avoiding the potential problems associated with antibiotic resistance.”

Well pardon me for stating an opinion on a forum!
If you have a different opinion that’s fine; there’s no need to be rude or arrogant when dispensing it. OK?

@kansel Please be a little bit more considerate and less dismissive of other people’s opinions that may differ from yours. It’s good to have strong beliefs, but not so good to insult others like @DrT Thanks.

Same here. I was taking doxy for malaria prophylaxis few times for months and I really felt great on this regimen. I also often had sinus infections in my early 20ies and for a week or two after antibiotics I really felt great. Not just because of the absence of illness but my digestion was better, my skin was glowing… just overall better.

From Michael LIsanti, MD link above
“In 2015, my laboratory discovered a new therapeutic approach for eradicating cancer stem cells (CSCs), with simple FDA-approved antibiotics. More recently, in 2021, we identified high mitochondrial ATP production as a biomarker of “stemness” and metastatic potential, in aggressive cancer cells.”

scta123, I’ve gotten lost in this conversation. Here you note a number of claims and earlier you noted “A 77-year-old man of interest had hair growth, etc.” Do you mind posting the link (again) to the article that talks about these things? I’ve found plenty on the three-drug combination, but nothing about this 77-year-old man. Thanks.
