After reading some information from a couple of e-mail services, and doing
research in medical research engines I am wondering about the helpfulness
taking an antibiotic treatment to rid the body, particularly of the
chlamydia p. to do away with the "smoldering inflammation" as it has been
called.
Any opinions on whether this may be

Dear Gordon
At this point in time, I would not recommend taking antibiotics. They are expensive, have potential side effects, and their indiscriminate use breeds resistant organisms that go on to cause serious disease. There is no convincing evidence that infection plays a role in

Human papillomavirus vaccine coronary artery disease. Inflammation definitely occurs within atherosclerotic plaque, but the link to infection has not been made as of yet. In addition, the epidemiological studies are conflicting regarding the role of infectious agents in heart disease.
I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
