Minocycline - Is it effective for use in OCD patients?

Minocycline is a profound CNS anti-inflammatory and affects cranial circulation by reducing inflammation at the sutures as well as in the dura, cortex, and subcortical tissue. On minocycline it is hard to give yourself a headache with stress and over-work. The bone plates of the skull actually soften in two-to-three months and the brain resumes growth and normal osteopathic motion - called "motility". Every known condition of neurology and psychiatry has associated inflammation - with about 50% of the genes activated in the illness inflammatory. Every condition improves with minocycline.

Over half the psychiatric drugs being prescribed cause inflammation in the micro-glial cells of the brain. This is the real problem with opiates soothing neurons and irritating micro-glia. Microglial cells transform from being "nurse cells" into becoming killer white cells. The change is irreversibile. The brain, despite bathing three times a day (450 ml CSF replacing 150 ml three time) cannot get rid of the activated white cells, the toxic chemicals they secrete and the mess they make.

To be smart, take a probiotic every day if you plan on taking minocycline. Watch out for tinnitus, hearing changes, or unusual mental or neurological symptoms. You do not need to take minocycline every day to get anti-inflammatory benefit. Its use is so new we do not even know the limits of its benefit and whether continued treatment does anything once the inflammation in the brain comes down.

It doesn't take any fancy testing to tell if your head is hot. Put your hand on it. Compare your head to someone else. Slide your forehead around: does the bone move like shoe leather or is it rock-hard? The cooling will be palpably obvious with minocycline. The frontals tend to cool first, then the parietals.
