What to do for recent babesia infection

Notime4lyme said...
I have a friend who has been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease(bit by a tick only a few weeks ago). They may have babesia also, and I am wondering what is the best option for babesia without an llmd. LLMDs are just so expensive. Mimosa pudica, neem and artemisinin got rid of my babesia, but I don't know if it would be good for a recent infection.

It’s an early infection - I would recommend being treated with a LLMD - and knock it out now.
Yes they are expensive BUT not having it become chronic should reduce the treating time.
Treating it early is something many of us never had the chance to do.
With early infections, often lyme treatment for a few months will suffice... and for insurance your friend can follow up with herbal Babesia treatment.

Having it go chronic will cost more in the end.
Just my two cents.

I 2nd MedicalNerd’s suggestions.

Buhner last said whatever you’re doing, sida acuta will work better.

Artemesinin can only be taken briefly. Artemesia annua is the whole herb and has no restrictions.

Copied from buhnerhealinglyme:

“ BABESIA
Stephen generally recommends the use of a Sida acuta, Alchornea cordifolia, and Cryptolepis sanguinolenta blend for the treatment of babesia these days: ¼-1/2 tsp 3x daily. You could as well do ¼ tsp of each of these three tinctures 3x daily. These three tinctures can be purchased from woodlandessence.com. You can also use just one of those herbs; his first choice is Sida acuta, second is Cryptolepis sanguinolenta. Stephen no longer recommends artemisinin or artemisia for babesia infections. It can work, but whatever you are treating, Sida acuta will work better, especially for babesia or bartonella. Please see his book Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections: Anaplasma, Babesia, and Ehrlichia for the most up-to-date expanded babesia protocol.”

Herbs work synergistically, so I would recommend the full protocol over just one or two herbs.

I have the book, but it’s in storage. If anyone else has the babesia book, can you give the full babesia protocol?

I have it at home and will post later if no one else does. Pretty sure alchornea is not in the protocol anymore.. replaced by bidens pilosa.

The website, while useful, hasn't been updated in quite some time.

Edit: WBF beat me to it! I actually had to be careful with bidens.. it was one of only a few herbs that I had trouble with
