How do you know when infection is gone?

[JAG10]

On the heels of the successive infections post I was wondering....

 

How do you know when myco-p is gone? or intracellular strep??

 

Someone wrote it takes 4 months (of biaxin?) to get rid of myco-p...how does anyone know that and what is the blood marker that tells you if it's gone?

 

I mean, if you don't subscribe to the theory that there must be a chronic infection or no auto-immune process...how do you know when it is gone from the body?

 

On the flip side...you onion peelers; how do you know when that layer of onion is completely gone and you are ready to address the next unwelcomed microbe?

 

It seems to me it has been posted several times that we don't know how fast titers fall; strep titers can take months and myco-p years....plenty of time to get re-exposed before having a chance to fall...so how do we know?
