"Toxoplasma is a single-celled parasite that infects at least one-third of the world’s human population. It’s famous for its ability to manipulate its hosts".. Is this why they didn't want us learning about HCQ and Ivermectin? Both are known to kill parasites.

I had been on it for years maybe 5 years or so. Before that I was taking larger doses of anti-biotics. So I had been taking anti-biotics for my entire adult life. Not healthy.
Still I was having breakouts and I started to wonder whether the cure was also causing the disease so to speak. I slowly weaned myself off the 20mg dose by cutting the pills in half and my body and skin responded positively.
I can definitely see how people would want an easy solution. In my case there just wasn't one. It has been a goal of mine for a very long time to achieve clear skin and I'm finally seeing results. It has taken a lot of research, effort, and money.
I am glad you started to listen to your own body. I do think that long term use of drugs like antimicrobial dose minocycline for use in dermatology is extremely flawed. And in some cases, has led to lymphomas - a dirty little secret they don't tell patients. I am sure that these cancers mostly stem from a gut biome that is altered.
Your gut biome was more than likely already out of balance when an antibiotic drug was thrown into the mix that further exacerbated the problem. At the point where the 20mg doxy was introduced it was just a straw that broke the camel's back. It doesn't take much to reach that tipping point. You did the correct thing in just scrapping everything and starting from scratch - something a good clinician should have recommended to begin with. But, in defense of clinicians, you are the rare patient. Most patients do not want to make the necessary changes to lifestyle and diet that health requires. Good for you!
I was involved in extensive testing just to make sure that at a 20mg dose the doxy would not affect the immune system. In fact, that was the thrust of the research in the beginning that took years. We did not have time to research other uses for it before the plug was pulled by the drug company funding the research when it went off patent. I am pretty confident in the results of our research. It is like aspirin. At 325 mg it has analgesic effects - but at 81mg it has very limited analgesic actions but retains its antiplatelet activity.
