Thanks Rainy, Loski - I have used Tafenoquine as Arakoda (100mg version). That long half life had me using a much lower loading dose than the cited study used (600mg). New research indicates...
Hi Rainy, thank you for the article. The article mentioning bartonella re: leprosy got me thinking about dapsone. Dapsone is commonly used to treat leprosy. To complete the thought I have been taking...

Hi Rainy, Thank you The regimen, (piperaquine plus dihydroartemisinin) + Imatinib, looks like it could be of short duration. I'll look at it more carefully. My initial reaction is- does it play...
Hi Garzie RE: Bb in Otzi Here is the quote from the article, note the operative words two-thirds. Probably all the Babesia specie share two-thirds of their genome. I always thought Bb was naturally...
Rainy, I listened to the MP3 version. My thoughts - Fauci should be in jail. I have direct knowledge through my father that the Plum Island and other federal research facilities were biological...
Garzie Or - and I'll say it out loud, disulfiram isn't effective, nor is azlocillin. There are alot of people that have serious and non resolving neuropathies brought on by this one. FWIW I have been...
Please confirm. Table 5 and discussion are showing disulfiram + not clearing the infection. Any guess on why doxycycline would be chosen over minocycline?...
Update after 3 weeks of clemastine. Dosing 1mg in evening. Met with my lyme LLMD today, discussed usage. He is going to check if we can get this in the US over the counter. He has TBD also so was...
Thank you WBF. Lumbrokinase does help....

I raised dose to 1 mg in the evening. No adverse reactions whatsoever. Sorry to repeat but this is a very strong antihistamine. It has reduced the constant pain/pressure in my damaged eye. Probably...
Quick update, I received the clemastine and have 3 days on it. Daily recommended dosage is 1mg 2x daily. I have taken 1/2 mg once daily (the tablet is scored so this is ok) in the evening, wierd...

So N=2 SMH, what is our research community doing? Rainy, you picked up this one that may actually be a better anti babesia compound than the Fosinopril that they are pushing, ranked higher in...
Rainy Thanks for posting this. I looked online for a source for clemastine, it was otc but appears to be discontinued. If anyone knows of a source please let me know. It looks like a usefull cytokine...
Georgiee Thank you for the input. I'm curious about your visual impact. The short version, I believe the visual impact may be babesia/bartonella related, restricted blood flow to the optic nerves...

Garzie, Tafenoquine is actually prescribed by my LLMD. I am not aware of any generics at this time. My insurance refused to cover any of the cost (about $250 for 16 arakoda tablets), I didn't...
Rainy Last week and this coming week I will take the 150mg version. There has been notable improvement in my visual acuity and eye discomfort. Ocular babesia does exist, and tafenoquine has very good...
I am currently taking tafenoquine as arakoda (100mg version), krintafel (150mg version) is backordered. This is my 7th week, one more in this cycle. I'm taking concurrently with ivermectin,...
Garzie I believe the scale of the problem would be revealed if we knew how many people were tested for lyme. Labcorp, Quest, MDL etc. just need to be asked how many tests they are performing...

I think the famotidine response to cytokines may be why some are experiencing some longer relief. Its interesting reading. Related to Pattersons work with long covid....
Forget the reflux, famotidine is doing much more to help with my MCAS/lyme/babesia/bartonella symptoms. Others are reporting similar positive results. I have thyroid issues also. Lots of things cause...
I am well aware that they are two different things. I am saying that I believe that famotidine reduces histamine response from the stomach and endothelial tissues....
Garzie, I feel so much better. The abx were giving me terrible acid reflux and I needed to try something to stop it. The famotidine did with the added benefit of controlling herx symptoms (that are...

Garzie - unbelievably they chose the same target - ospA. "They" discredited the research showing ospA was the actual arthritis vector clearing the way for the new vaccine using ospA. The reason ospA...
In the late 90's a Lyme vaccination called LYMErix was introduced that targeted ospA. Many people receiving the vaccine went on to develop "arthritis" like symptoms. It was beleived that ospA is the...
Over the counter antihistimines help me alot in reducing herx inflammation. Famotidine (pepcid) is the best for me at the moment. 2 a day morning/evening Cetirizine (zyrtec) is good though I can only...
Hi Al, You have been sick for awhile. My best advice to you would be to get to your primary care physician and not say a word about tick borne disease. Tell the doc you are tired and lethargic. Your...
