Yes, we are using CSA by WoodLandEssence. Our daughter's first indication that she was dealing with babesia was brought on by a herx produced by CSA. Our LLMD had been wondering why she wasn't completely healing after 2 years of abx for bartonella, so even though our daughter was holding her own at 80% improvement after 2 years of abx and another 8 months of Buhner's herbal bartonella protocol, I decided to trial CSA.
The herx was all babesia. Symptoms she had never had before. Air hunger, chest pressure, sighing, dry cough, thigh muscle pain. Our LLMD clinically diagnosed her, all Igenex tests (B microti, B duncani) were negative.
Treatment with CSA has cleared up our daughter's lingering Asperger's symptoms and social regression. She had a huge improvement in cognitive and executive functioning, as well as math and spatial abilities. Her teacher called 5 days after I had initiated CSA wondering what was going on.
Because our daughter had never suffered physical symptoms of babesia, I can't say that we have seen improvement in babesia symptoms, however her lingering bartonella symptoms left after 2 years of bart abx - low level shin pain, headache etc. have completely resolved since treating babesia.
