Hey there my lyme friends,

Ok so I’ve been in treatment for a year... recently switched llmds in April... within that time frame I was never treated for babesia which I tested positive for through labcorp
So my new llmd is starting me on a hardcore babesia treatment and I start tomorrow.... of course I’m nervous as all he@@....
my questions are:
Do I eat the fatty snack before or after taking the mepron?
Do I take my other meds with it ? Artemesia, enula, crypto, omnicef, minocin
Like how do I do this? Take everything at once or space it out? I’m so so much stuff I have no idea what to even do!!
Thank you everyone.... man I dunno what I’d do if I didn’t have u guys!!

Hi! I take Mepron at the same time as my antibiotics and antimicrobial herbs. First I eat a meal (breakfast or dinner), then take the meds, then follow up with the fatty snack if the meal didn't have much fat.

I found Mepron hard to take at first -- felt it hit hard with anxiety and mood issues. I had to start with a smaller amount and work up to the full dose. It has really helped me a lot though. Good luck!

I do Ceftin, mino, one heaping tbsp peanut butter, Mepron, meal.then I take my enula and artemisinin. I’m not on Cryptolepis .


When I first went on Mepron - I had an increase of my head pressure - and that was just on one tsp dosing. Prior to the J clinic.
Just be prepared for that - although you may not get it

Thank u! I’m so freaking scared to start this protocol. My anxiety is going nuts just thinking about it... I’ve already reached the 20 drops 2x a day of cryptolepis. I started that last Sunday. I’m tolerating it very well. No issues

Are you M/W/F both weeks? And two weeks off after?

I edited my post - I had typed one “healing” tbsp of peanut butter instead of “heaping”


I wish it was a healing tbsp of peanut butter... lol

Hey girlie

Sorry I ended up cleaning my house yesterday and forgot to check in.
Yes I’m m/w/f for 2 weeks then 2 weeks off.
I started this morning... the stuff tastes kinda bad but not too much lol. I ate almonds for breakfast lol.
We shall see what happens.
2 weeks off seems like a long time when someone just starts this protocol...no? Could be just me. Although, I do enjoy my off weeks cuz I hate taking all these meds.

I did two on and one off from feb to April - 9 weeks and now I’m on two on and two off.
I don’t know how it’s decided how many weeks off you get.

How much fat is in the almonds you take - you want to make sure it’s enough for Mepron.

I believe it's 14 grams...is there a certain amount of fat I'm supposed to aim for?

I just found an older thread on this subject...and it looks like I was more diligent with the fat when I previously took Mepron.
I'm going to bump mine up from now on.
