The study is behind a paywall, but the supplemental materials gave the two antibiotics that each separately eliminated the bacteria after 21 days: Metronidazole (Generic, cheap, widely available, generally safe) and Chloramphenicol (Injected, with more side effects). Either worked, according to the slide pictures I saw in the supplemental materials, which were free.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. An alternative to the typical “hormone therapy” of birth control is badly needed. Off topic, but do they have to gender everybody? What’s wrong with just using their names and leaving it at that????

As with the vast majority of autoimmune diseases, the cause is digestive bacterial mimicry. The bacteria mutate to mimic tissue. The immune system recognizes the tissue as a bacterial attack, and attacks the tissue. In the case of endometriosis the body starts replacing the bacteria with endometrial tissue. That’s because the bacteria-caused inflammation mimics conditions resembling those in menstruation.
