Dear Igor,
I attached a recent article (see http://webfile.ru/6008658) supporting the use of properly chosen antibiotics in treating CD. Please read it carefully and then ask further questions. I advise getting your local doctor to treat you with a combination of Clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily, Rifampin 300 mg twice daily and Clofazimine 100 mg twice daily. Try the therapy for at least 3 months before deciding if it works or not.

Good luck,
William Chamberlin

PS: You are welcome to come to Billings, Montana where I will be able to treat you.
