Stop abx-go herbal or iv abx

I am not seeing any changes in my son on the oral abx (4 months on 2 abx) and want to talk to our dr about other alternatives.  Would stopping all abx and going the herbal route be good or should we be more aggressive and try the iv abx? 

I have read some comments regarding both but just trying to get as much feed back as possible.

Thanks in advance.

So you are seeing an LLMD and he has been clinically diagnosed as well as tested for regional coinfections?

We saw pretty much immediate improvement from bartonella pain symptoms (after 2 months worth of herxing) on abx, but PANS and the sensitivities (light, sound, movement, touch) took longer to resolve, I imagine because our daughter was still dealing with brain inflammation.

Although our daughter tested negative for both babesias and we spent the first year chasing bartonella alone; first malarone and now the combination of herbals (CSA - cyrptolepis/sida/alchornea) Buhner uses for babesia/protozoan infections has brought us the most improvement in cognitive/executive function.

I would suggest adding LOW DOSE herbs to your existing protocols. I assume your doctor has a reason for suggesting the abx he did.

I did not start getting better until I addressed mold. Has he been tested for HLA and MTHFR mutations?

My so. Has HLA and Mthfr mutations, and those aren't really being addressed enough and I have seen major behavioral changes in him and it's been about 3 wks on ceftin and 7 days on minocycline. He also takes al complex. I wish I had some good advice right now.
