Did you deal with your co-infections one at a time?

Was curious the path you chose in dealing with co-infections.

Did you focus on one at a time?

Now that I've been at lyme for nearly six months (already!), I am working on bartonella, but I think I'll wait on babesia for a few months. I had an anti-biotic that seemed to knock out a bunch of babesia type symptoms, and my blood work right after was negative, but I think with some of my remaining symptoms it could be good to give this some attention in that blood work isn't everything!

Did you focus on one at a time?

Also - what would you associate a raging sore throat with? This is the one that is most problematic and it has been nagging me since last October. Came and went at first, now it is daily and my throat feels so constricted.

Checked out by my GP today and she is going to send me to an ENT.

She didn't want to go the anti-biotic route, when I asked if she thought anti-biotics might be good. She knows nothing about lyme, but agreed that I am responding to a lyme protocol, so it makes sense that that is what it is, and thought I should just continue with what I have been doing because I have been making such good progress.

She said "your tests came back negative" (non-lyme lab) and I gave her my Igen-X test as an educational gesture and said SOMETHING showed up as active (band 41) and told her I know it isn't syphilis, or rat bite fever, or the other things associated with the band.

Attached a blog post I found by a Dr on band 41.

Left her with something to chew on.

My small part on educating a Dr.

Not too much...

Little bite...

What was the medication that eased your babesia-type symptoms?

If your doing herbals, I think you can fairly easily treat Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia at the same time. A lot of herbs overlap, especially for Lyme and Bart.

For antibiotics, I think it's really difficult to do more than 2 infections at a time.

Thank you P! So, I'll focus on bart and continued lyme protocol until the fall, then begin babesia. Thank you!

Questing, I think that's a great idea. Especially if you've herxed on bactrim (has anti-babs properties, sometimes prescribed with Mepron/Malarone), allicin (big-time anti-babs), and cat's claw (I think anti-babs... not sure....it's in Beyond Balance MC-BAB-2 which apparently helps a lot of people with Babs).

You could add C.S.A and artemisinin, 2 popular herbals for Babesia.
Just don't use both at the same time:

Good luck!

I did Hout and when I got up to 15 drops I added in cryptolepis. So I did babs and bart pretty darn close to the same time.

Crypto you need to do for about 5 months - the life of a red blood cell.

Hout - well gosh, I think I will stop that when I finish this last bottle.

It is all about how you feel


Oh and the sore throat. I love this stuff. Taste like carp, but dang if it doesn't work super.
