I've read that getting rid of biofilm is important for full treatment, since it protects the Lyme from antibiotics (not sure if its the same with babesia and bartonella, which I also have). I'm going to a Lyme Dr that seems very knowledgeable, but I didn't see anything directed to biofilm in my treatment plan. Is it included in my medicine/supplements, but I'm missing it? Should I add a biofilm herb to my supplements (or ask for Tindamax)? Also, should I be taking the Magnesium Taurate supplement right now? I've read that Magnesium contributes to biofilm. Unfortunately, my Dr. is not very accessible, and my second appointment with him is not until mid March.
My current treatment plan (I'm about 5 weeks in):
Medications
• Coartem tablets - 1 tab 2x day for 5 days, wait 3 days, then repeat with 2 tabs 2x day for another 5 days (babesia)
Wait 5 days
• Zithromax - 1 tablet 500mg 1x day with food for 5 days (don't take on weekends) for 8 weeks (all 3)
After first week of Zithromax add:
• Mepron - tablespoon or 5 ml 2x day, 5 days week for 8 weeks (babesia)
• Bactrim - 800mg, 1 tablet 2x day, 5 days week, 8 weeks (all 3)
• IV Rocephin - daily, currently only prescribed for 1 month (starting this tomorrow or Friday) - (1) 2gms x 5 days, 2 weeks; (2) 2gms bid 5 days, 2 weeks (3) add Flagg / 500 ___ bid 4 wks (bad handwriting
• Valtrax - 500mg (1 pill) / day - (prescribed by another doctor for Chronic Epstein Barr)
• Misc.:
○ Adderall XR 20mg - helps with fatigue and concentration
○ Klonopin - .5mg, as needed. I developed bad anxiety over the last year or so.
Supplements (just started these this week):
• RN135 Artemisinin SOD 120 capsules 1
• RN134 Omega-3 Plus 60 soft gels
• RN121 Prescript-Assist Pro 60 capsules [Probiotics]
• RN111 Transfer Factor Multi-Immune (Mushroom-free) 60 capsules
• RN130 ATP Fuel 150 capsules
• Magnesium Taurate 125mg
After Mepron is done (6 weeks or so):
• CoQ10

Thanks!
