I know there is controversy about the study, but very interested to hear anyone's experience.
We need to try this. Maybe its not 100 percent adn maybe we need to pulse it - but it beats years of struggling. I would still combine with herbs and we would need strong supplements to tolerate all 3 ABXs.
Please share! I for one cant take the pain and the uncertainty...

I have not heard of that combo - in fact I haven't heard of Daptomycin.
...or cefoperazone...by looking at the name I'm thinking it's a cephaloporin - maybe a 3rd generation?


What class of antibiotics is the daptomycin?

here is a link to the study! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25806811
Daptomycin is a highly potent antibacterial, a lipopeptide. This new study shows how it "radicates" not only active forms of Lyme but the persistent forms, through a combination pulse dosing with doxy and cefoperazone.

This has been posted before, & unfortunately only studied in vitro. It seems promising with pulsing of different abx the direction. All await more friggin studies & approval.

Here is the link to the recent study:

I doubt anyone has tried it except for the extremely rich with lyme who have really good doctor connections. Daptomycin will cost an arm and a leg and is typically reserved for serious staph infections. Cefoperazone is also costly and hard to find. These are 2 IV antibiotics that you won't be finding at your local pharmacy.

There are assistance programs from the manufacturer of daptomycin:

And ceftaroline can be used instead of cefoperazone (5th vs 3rd gen cefalosporin)
