babesia, Artemisin SOD?

my ds (26) is taking 2 pills of Malarone in am and pm, so 4 per day.

Suspected babesia because of high Eosinophil Cationic PROT...20 (normal is 2-10).

Also on Artemisin SOD, 1 pill 2x day, i'm pulsing it, 7 days on / 7 days off and
Pau d'Arco, 1 pill 2x day for yeast.

Anyone been on Artemisin SOD? did it help?

Was thinking of asking doc to add in Alinia. Only thing that ever made a difference years ago was a parasite treatment from Dr. H. Although did try treatment couple more times and did nothing. No longer with him, seeing someone more local.

Been sick for 7 1/2 years, lyme / babesia / RMSF...suspected bart. Been on multiple abx / supps / iv....even did Sub Q ivig....nothing....still only mentally disabled, nothing ever physical, at least not that we can tell...he doesn't speak really. Can't answer questions.

did just order Cyptoflora....read on the autism forum that it helps with language....we'll see.

Do you think this is good or does another abx need to be with Malarone?

Also doing buhner herbs, jp and sida acuta for now....plan on adding in others.

Again on mentally affected ever....any other suggestions?

Is the not speaking something new?

What about detox? What all are you/DS doing for detox?

The mental symptoms seem to mostly be from Bartonella and Lyme for most people, or that they aren't detoxing well at all. For me, it was the not detoxing well that made this the worst for me.

I'm so sorry, Frikfrak. That must be hard on everyone.

I would encourage you to increase his detoxing, and have him tested for the gene mutations that can make it much more difficult to detox (MTHFR). Binders are great tools, but as you said, it's hard to get the timing correct. Can you give it to him in the middle of the night? Not sure of the household routines, but if you or he has to get up to use the bathroom, that's when I usually take my binders so they won't interfere with any of my meds or food.

You could use things like milk thistle or dandelion root to help detox his liver better. I like to use Yogi brand detox tea (regular flavor) to help further detox my liver and my kidneys.

There are other things like Alka Seltzer Gold that you can incorporate as well as other suggestions here:

hi,

been to several llmd's and even Dr. S for pandas, was with Dr. H for 3 years and he couldn't get him better. left him and am seeing someone local. Dr. H had him on all kinds of detox at one point or another. Left Dr. H because, again, my DS wasn't getting better and couldn't see spending the money anymore, spent thousands.

this doc thinks yeast because he laughs/giggles, sometimes worse then at other times. he's pretty good now with the laughing, maybe b/c of par d'arco.

yes, i do give milk thistle everyday.

actually the art SOD is 750mg. per 1 pill, so he's getting 1500mg daily.

i'll ask about adding another abx on my next appt., maybe alinia. Do hate to do more abx since he has yeast.

thank you both for replying. i'll keep trying and will post once if there's improvement.
