Beware of doxy and other drugs that supress NK activity

I suspected that my high-dose doxycycline was affecting my ghsv infection. I was infected mildly in Nov and then had a bad outbreak in June/July which continued on and off until even now. When I say it continued, I mean it was itchy and red and uncomfortable. Anyway, I have been 400mg of doxy a day since June. The doxy helps me a lot with Lyme joint pain and nerve damage. Anyway, I found doxy is the only tetra class antibiotic that supressses Nk function by 50%. Nk function is what keeps the hsv latent. Our antibodies only help once we have an outbreak. Anyway, I plan on switching to biaxin and plaq. Plaq is the most aklaine drug one can take. I think this wil help keep the hsv latent.

In vitro inhibition of natural killer cell activity by doxycycline.

Goh DH, Ferrante A.

The effect of four tetracyclines, tetracycline, rolitetracycline, oxytetracycline and doxycycline, on human natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity was examined in vitro. Doxycycline was the only tetracycline which inhibited the NK cell activity. At concentrations of 10 micrograms/ml the drug caused approximately 50% inhibition of NK cell mediated cytotoxicity against K562 target. The inhibition was not a result of a toxic effect of the drug on NK cells. These results support the previous findings that doxycycline shows immunosuppressive properties.

Btw, many young people take doxy for acne. So if you are taking it, you may want to switch to tetra or check out mino. I am not sure if mino has the same effect on nk function as doxy does, but it is worth a quick journal search.

Doxy is also used for infections.

      Is this a herpes blister on my eyelid? I think I transmitted hsv1 from my genitals to my eyelid

      By tbc122 · Posted

      https://imgur.com/a/cVi8yJY 2 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex. Few days later I wake up with a stinging sensation in my urethra. I don't have any blisters, lesions or redness, my penis looks completely normal from the outside, but the stinging in my urethra is always there. Urinating doesn't make the pain worse. From the research I've done and how my body feels I'm pretty sure I caught genital hsv1. To make matters worse I think I transmitted it to my eyelid by touching my infected penis and then my eyelid which did develop a blister. Can anyone look at my lower eyelid and tell me if it looks anything like herpes?  I forgot to add that the blister is painless, but my eye is a bit watery. Other than that it's fine and my eyesight is good. Considering how this all developed in a matter of a week after I had unprotected sex it can't be much else than herpes..

      Hey I see that they also sell the pill form in 100 mg and 500 mg form. Do you think this is as affective? They have the regular and extract version of the pill. Which would you think is the right one to get? And how many pills per day to get the same effect of say 16 seeds?

      How accurate is a blood test for herpes

      By scurrred · Posted

      I had an IGG test  and the ranges were out of range and high  HSV 1 was 42 and HSV 2 was 19 so I guess it was accurate but the problem now is I can't figure out when or who I got it from. In 2018 to 2019 when I was with my ex I was STD tested but not sure if herpes was included but my ex was supposed to get tested but refused. I experienced some trauma with him and didn't date until a year and a half later so I'm confused. The guy I dated after the ex who didn't want to be tested I told them a week ago about my results he was trying to be there for me and understanding,I told him to get tested but to request a herpes blood test , because he had no noticeable lesions or bumps ever is what he said and I never noticed any on him now he has shut down all his social media and I can't reach him. Hoping he's okay, I feel bad because in 2018 I did have what I was told it was an abrasion that tingled but at my doctor the day I was tested they told me it wasn't herpes but I think it was only a visible diagnosis. I keep having it reoccur from time to time

      HSV genital likely?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "FeelingLost".... your fears and concerns are understandable but, nothing you've described regarding the sexual encounter would cause you to contract herpes.... further, your symptoms are not herpes related.  Best of all, your doctor is correct, your results don't show any herpes here.  You can relax.... definitely have your GP take a look at things and see what might be causing the symptoms but, again, none of them are typical herpes related.  I wish you the best in terms of talking to your wife about this encounter.... hopefully she will understand and you both can work through this amicably.  We all make mistakes.... be careful not to beat yourself up too hard over this.... you can become so racked with guilt that you start imagining physical symptoms.  Best of luck.... and take care..... come back to the site if you have questions.
