Babs treatment

Hi,

I was on Malpron/Azithromycin for five months (21 weeks to be exact) last year for Babesia and it made a HUGE difference. It helped me way more than any other previous treatments. Almost all of my symptoms are gone except unfortunately my worst ones - fatigue and neuro issues (they only improved slightly) - but all other symptoms are basically gone after that treatment (headaches, stabbing head pain, twitching, bruising, achy muscles, equilibrium issues). So you might want to also talk to your doctor about mepron.

Thanks so much for replying bk, I wanted to get some opinions before I started anything. I'm basically self treated because I was studying all this before I gt so sick. I'm on clindamycin now for babs and let me tell u it's some pretty potent herx i get, lol my head will burn internally and I'm like how can a herx burn so bad. Did u herx on the azithro/mepron??

Which works better, azitho, or clindamycin in combo with quinine? Side effects and herx ? I had a Internal burning inside my brain and head my neck wierd herx I guess, anyone else experience this? It's like almost always in my head that I feel burning, also panic heart rate went up and sweating. Just wondering which antibiotics in combo worked best for babs, and how long were u actually on it to get better with some results? Thanks

I think llmd MR pairs Clindamycin with quinine.
Not many LLMD’s prescribe that though.
I think the quinine may be hard to tolerate?

I got sweaty herxes from mepron+clarithromycin and mepron+minocycline. Babesia seems to be susceptible to both.

If you want I can look for my protocols from when I was on Mepron ala Dr j - for Mepron dose

I think it was two tsp twice a day

What about adding Artemisinin for Babesia with what you’re taking?

You can get it on Amazon

U mean I can add Artemisinin in replacement for the mepron? The doc said
Antibiotics or oils wouldn't work alone that I needed to take it with an antimalarial like mepron

LLMD MR:

“ Mefloquine (Lariam) 250 mg is a prescription medication. Start at 1 pill daily for 5 days, and then take as 1 pill every 5 days. It may cause nausea on the first five days. Mefloquine dissolves and is stored in fat. It takes 5 days or longer to saturate or to fill up the fat. Once the fat is saturated, taking a pill every 5 days keeps the fat saturated.

Combine it with one of the following:

Azithromycin (Zithromax) 500 mg 1 time a day,
Clarithromycin (Biaxin) 500 mg 1 pill 2 times a day,
Doxycycline 100 mg 2 pills 2 times a day, or
Minocycline 100 mg 1 pill 2 times a day.”

He mentions some harsh side effects from Lariam .

“ However, it can have significant mental health side effects like depression and hallucinations or even psychosis. “

LLMD MR also mentions Artemisinin as a treatment.
He does say that you have to pulse it - or it stops working.

First time I took artemisinin I think I took took it for 4 days in a row and then stopped for several days and then repeated.

Second time I took artemisinin I think pulsed it M/W/F - I’d have to find my protocol sheet (it was part of Dr J’s protocols.

Not sure if I already mentioned - Mepron gave me diarrhea - but it didn’t last - it would come on soon after taking it but did not last
