Babs will replicate on 7 and 14 day cycles. I have heard others report similar symptom flares or herxes. One person claimed to take artemisinin at the start of each flare cycle to reduce sx severity.
I took Mepron/Zith/Bactrim instead and it took about
9 to 10 weeks before seeing any improvements. I started to get new symptoms pop up throughout Babs treatment.
I finally plateaued on Mepron and stopped taking it, and tried Cryptoleptis and Sida Acuta herbs recommended by Steven Buhner. Woodland Essence has them blended with another herb Alchonia labeled CSA. None of them worked for me, but others have had good success.
I thought I had a stubborn, mepron resistant strain of babs, but made better progress after one more round of a Bart - Rifampin/Plaq/mino protocol.
