Hi i'm currently taking Cryptolepis as part of a regimen to tackle my stubborn, resistant babesia duncani. Is there anything else anyone would recommend to add to this? I've taken Artemisian which had no effect. I've also tried A-BAB which contains gou teng, cats claw, noni, sam bong, neem, yarrow and curcuma xanthorrhiza and had no effect.

I want to add 1 maybe 2 more to the current mix. My initial thoughts are sida acuta or maybe ashwagandha? Thanks.

"Stephen (Buhner) generally recommends the use of a Sida acuta, Alchornea cordifolia, and Cryptolepis sanguinolenta blend for the treatment of babesia"

Other herbs I've found that have some effect are Nutramedix Quina and Enula. I don't think it would hurt to add them to the above protocol . Just ramp up slowly and stop or reduce if you get a bad herx.

I know you wanted info on herbals, but...

I have had severe breathing problems for a year (Babesia duncani Igenex IgG +) and was on Malarone and Zithromax for about 4 months last summer/fall. It helped for the first few months but lost it's efficacy in the last 6 weeks. The Malarone is helping now though again, this time with Doxy - go figure.

I'm currently taking Quina (10 drops 2x/day) along with Malarone (1 pill with breakfast, 1 with lunch and 2 with dinner), Doxycycline (100mg 2x/day), and just added Clindamycin (300mg AM only).

Aside from the Quina, I got the protocol above from a peer reviewed paper in PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20047477. In this study, one (immunocompromised) person was cured of Mepron resistant Babesia doing this protocol for 13 months. Another was cured using this same protocol with very high amounts of Clindamycin. However, these people also had exchange transfusion and IVIG. Follow-up showed both were still well.

Just for insurance, though, -and you might like this if you want to remain strictly herbal - I have just purchased all the herbs to make "Chronic Tonic". Here is a link to the recipe:

Cryptolepis and sida Acuta helped me, but certainly didn't knock it out entirely.

The homeopathic remedy Cinchino, borellogen, red root, artemisia, curcurmen, and alchornea are all supposed to fight babesia from what I have read. Along with the herbs listed in Buhners protocol ^

Hope this helps

Have you given any though to essential oils. They are very good in killing bacteria and viruses. I use oil of oregano in my oil pulling. Put a couple drops in my sunflower oil. Oil pulling is suppose to pull the bad things out of your body. Might give it a try.
