Anyone hear of Dr. Attila Toth? He sounds nuts (article linked in post)

This sounds cray-cray:

"On the first morning, Toth put in their arms IVs that delivered an antibiotic that they each carried around in a fanny pack for the entire 10 days. He then threaded a catheter into the pinpoint opening of Samantha's cervix so that, for the next hour, a cocktail of four antibiotics, the steroid Medrol, and a large dose of the yeast-infection medication Diflucan could wash out her uterus. The first two mornings, Samantha suffered excruciating cramps from these daily washes, but by the third, the pain had subsided, and she settled into a routine of watching Dr. Phil on the examining-room television until Toth returned to remove the catheter and insert a paste containing a fifth antibiotic that would be absorbed into her body for the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, every other day Toth gave her husband a painkiller and then injected antibiotics through his rectum and into his prostate; twice Toth also injected his seminal vesicles. After their last visits, Toth gave the couple prescriptions for still two more antibiotics that they'd take for a month."

I remember reading that article in Elle - he's BSC for sure. Those treatments sound like something someone who was operating out of a storage unit would do!

I have a good friend in my infertility group that went through the treatment with him and just transferred in a previously frozen embryo five days ago. You can make fun of Dr. Toth all you want, and I don't necessarily believe in his theories but when your heart has been broken many times before and you have nowhere else to turn to get the baby you want so badly, you might be considering these things too.

Regardless of whether his treatments are real or not, I pray deeply that my friend gets pregnant so I don't have to watch her heart break one more time.

It seems very specific to the syphilis dx, so what if you come up not infected on this special test?

This is an old post but I had to respond. My husband and I did full treatment with Dr. Toth and we have a beautiful daughter conceived naturally 2 months after his treatment. The treatment is for 10 days and then you take oral antibiotics for 1 month. The 10 days of treatment are not easy but it was all worth it. We had gone to many of the "best" fertility doctors in the country and he is the only one who figured it out. Yes, to many he is crazy but to us he was the one to help us solve our fertility problem and conceive our daughter.
