Recently I’ve had insane air hunger. I tested negative for babesia in the past, but my LLMD always thought I had it. My question is:

Can ashwaghanda cause a babesia herx?
What can you do for babesia air hunger?

Since your LLMD 'always thought' you had it...are you going to start treatment?

(You do know the testing isn't accurate)


I don't know if ashwaghanda would cause a babesia herx.

For the air hunger...other that treating the babesia...I don't know what else you could do.
Maybe someone else will post some helpful suggestions.

I think you should focus on treating it, though...

My Babesia microti and duncani tests came back negative.
My doc did a blood smear and the Babesia is very obvious.

I have been on supplement with ashwagandha since before Lyme, so I can’t say I’ve noticed a herx. I flare up every 3-4 months for no apparent reason, and when I treat with atovaquone, and recently Grapefruit Seed extract causes a massive herx.

Nothing helps my air hunger but treatment, and allowing it to not cause a panic attack. You just have to get through it. Anxiety drugs may help, but that’s my last resort.

Isn’t anemia a cardinal issue with babesia?

Have you tried CSA? It worked on my daughter's negatively testing babesia-like-organisms.
