Hi Sally44,
I posted several of the pathogen killing treatments in the fibro/CFS forum... here is the link:

Another link that I highly recommend is a link to Professor Nicolson's website... http://www.immed.org If you click on "clinical testing" --- it will list the CPT codes and the labs that do the testing for mycoplasmas. Unfortunately most regular labs do not test for the mycoplasmas that are present in fibro and CFS patients. However, some people are doing what is called a "therapeutic probe". Basically, they are just trying the treatment and seeing if they have herxing (detox) symptoms. If they have herxing symptoms, that means that the treatment is working... as it is killing off pathogens. Herxing symptoms can be very unpleasant, so it is very important to do your research first before starting any treatment. I originally started on the Marshall Protocol, but switched to Dr. David A. Jernigan's natural herbal-homeopathic formulas and am very pleased with my progress !!! I actually am convinced now that I will make a full recovery.
I know of one person with autism who is making progress on one of these pathogen killing treatments... here is the link to the interview:
