Can anyone chime in about how Dr. J's (or a similar) protocol for b\Babesia is? I'm really nervous because they kept stressing that it was the toughest part of the protocol. I will begin mepron, super artmesian and an antibiotic (I think minocin) next month. Maybe something else as well, I am not completely sure.

So my real question is, was it a turning point for the better or worse for you? I've heard both ends of the spectrum. And did it help alleviate brain fog/drunk feeling at all? Any advice?

Weeks 4 thru 9 was herx hell for me on my first try with Mepron. Take it with fats for better absorption. I took a spoonful of organic peanut butter. Usually mepron is paired with a macrolide (zith or biaxin) to prevent building resistance.

You need to be on this protocol for a minimum of 120 days (the life cycle of RBC), and most of us took it much longer. Make sure to pulse the Art as instructed.

I have seen Dr. J. prescribe Mino and Mepron for Babesia. (He also had omnicef with it)
and Artemisinin

This was a pulsed approach.

Yes, make sure the Art is pulsed...some do 7 days on 7 off....or 3 days on 11 off.
