Regarding the question "does anyone know if the Wei Institute herbal treatments work".

My physical rehab therapist has seen very positive results in 3 of 5 patients. One was able to get off oxygen and her FEV1 went from 30% to 50%.

Your doctor is quite correct about too much of the Levaquin. Your body will built up an immunity to it after while. Doxycycline is a good sub for it.
I appreciate everyone who replied to me. I haven’t been able to navigate through this site yet but eventually I’ll get it, lol. I hope everyone has a good night and a good day tomorrow
