How to use the Antibiotic Rotation Protocol
|
70
|
|
Principle # 1:
Every antibiotic has a short time frame of effectiveness
|
72
|
|
Principle # 2:
Breaks must be taken between courses of antibiotics
|
73
|
|
Principle # 3: Rife
machine therapy is used during breaks from antibiotics
|
73
|
|
Principle # 4: A
new antibiotic should be used for each round of treatment
|
75
|
|
Principle # 5:
Adjunctive therapies can increase the effectiveness of
antibiotics
|
77
|
|
Principle # 6:
Antibiotic use must be spread out over a long period of time
