Hi!

Just wonder if there has been any success on the two new Nobel price medications?

/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisinin
/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin

They are targeting Malaria and Parasitic diseases.

Dr. M.R has some protocols listed on his website. One is for using Artemisinin for Babesia:


"Tier Two

The following regimens work 75% to 80% of the time based on my experience. Dosing is for adults.

Artemesinin

Artemesinin 100mg is an herbal medication. Start at 2 or 3 pills 2 times a day for 3 days on the medication then take 11 days off. Continue this 14 day cycle. The goal is to reach 5 pills 3 times a day on the 3 days the medication is taken. I use artemesinin this way because the intestines develop an enzyme that destroys this herbal medicine if it is used longer than 3 days. Be aware the dose on the 3 days is quite strong. Often it causes a worsening of the babesia symptoms beginning on the 2nd day and sometimes lasting until 6 days later. If a person is very medicine sensitive I start at 1 or 2 pills 3 times a day.

I sometimes combine Artemesinin with atovaquone, atovaquone/proquanil, or mefloquine if the it is not working well enough. "



So far, I have only been in treatment for Lyme and bartonella, so I don't have any experience with the Babs meds.

Artemisinin can be effective....and it can do nothing. There has been evidence of resistance to it and that's why it's usually part of a combination protocol.

Truly, since there is a lot of resistance with Babesia treatments in general, it's best to take a multi-faceted approach.

And, Buhner cautions those taking artemisinin to restrict it to no more than 30 days. He says taking high doses for extended periods of time can be neurotoxic.

I herxed with Lyme symptoms on artemisinin when I first started. I tried pulsing it and taking it continuosly and took a total of 30 days' worth.

I had no response to it (no herx) after the first week...
