  That is not a website doctors look at.

  Wrong. Also irrelevant. It contains a plethora of scientific citations, which is all that matters.

  Medical procedures are formed and approved through NIH articles with vast testing pools across many geographical areas.

  Gibberish that tells me you don’t know what you’re talking about, but want to sound authoritative.

    I’m letting you know that those links are all to small journals. Good luck getting huge corporations to follow that advice versus tried and true advice. I rather a patient live than risk the infection returning and killing them.

    It’s not invalid but until IDSA adopts any of that… it’s not medical advice for anyone, just research.
