Hey all,

Had a follow up with my LLMD today- she is changing my protocol to tackle bart now. Previously I was taking mepron, zith, and mino (only been on mepron and zith 3 months, mino 2). She said since I have been getting slightly better but having symptoms more closerly related to bart, she wants me to take a 2 week break from abx and then restart with rifampin 150mg once a day and zith. She also is adding boluoke or nattokinase and crypto-plus.

Does this updated protocol look alright? thanks.

Starting Rifampin at 150 mg once a day is fine...but it will be increased??

To 300 twice or 600 once daily.

i started really low too.
So, the cryptolepis will work on the Babesia somewhat while you treat bart pharmaceutically.

I saw it was low- She doesnt tell me her plans, but I am starting in 2 weeks and then seeing her after 2 weeks of being on it, so I am assuming she is increasing- she is usually on point with the dosing.

Also- I just looked up boluoke and crypto-plus, and both of those together are $170 a month... any ideas on supplements close to those but different brand? I was supposed to get both from researched nutritionals, but that is alot. I am on woodland essence now looking at just the crypto tincture.

Oh, I didn't see the 'plus' after crypto.

I used Woodland Essence cryptolepis.

What does the 'plus' have in it?

I dont know what any of the other things are, never heard of them.

Cindy-Nattokinase is cheap while Boluke is very expensive. If she said one of them then go with the Nattokinase.

I take the same Crypto that Girlie does but I've taken tinctures from researched nutritionals before. I do see where it says it's a 30 day supply but I really think it lasts much longer than 30 days. They typically base that off of a dosage that will take you quite a while to build up too. For your $'s sake I hope so.

She gave me both names but said only if Boluoke is out of stock, she preferred that one.

It is better BUT it's substantially more money. If you can swing that every month than go with the Boluoke. If you can't you need to tell her that the Natto will have to do. Lyme and co's are expensive to treat and there will be times where a dr needs to be cognitive of finances. If you are stressed about the expense of treatment it will effect the success of your treatment.

Do what feels right for you. When I started treating 3 years ago Boluoke wasn't talked about or at least I didn't see it.

Thanks. I was thinking about buying the bolouke for a month and then using the natto. Do you know what mg of natto? She didnt put it on there, and I saw several different (she told me to get allergy research).

Crypto plus:

Cryptolepis
Lomatium
Red Root
Black Walnut hulls
Stillengia Sylvatica

Lomatium - I think is anti-viral and maybe antimicrobial as well
Red Root - lymphatics
Black Walnut hulls - Anti -parasitic
Stillengia Sylvatica - ???

I decided to just order it as prescribed for now and see how it goes and after if she still wants me to take it I will discuss just taking crypto/natto.
