According to this article, curcumin (turmeric) is being used to treat malaria: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1797756/

Due to the similarities between babesia and malaria parasites, I'm curious if anyone has tried curcumin (turmeric) and had any success with recovering from babesiosis. (I imagine one would have to use a supplement as opposed to the spice off the shelf, since most spices today are irradiated.)

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, since this is the first I've heard of it myself. But I am very curious to see if this does work! I have Babesia and I'm currently not treating it with anything. I'm doing the detox as much as I can, and taking many vitamin supplements hoping to boose my immune system.

My doctor has me using the Turmeric extract for its detoxifying properties.

Yes, curcumin is good for anti-inflammatory properties as well.
