hey i just started plaquenil. In the babesia forum everybody wrote you need to take it with another med.
But nobody tried it wiht herbs. So im a bit scared to make it worst because its immun suppressive. And i have no idea how strong are the buhner herbs compared to an abx.
maybe you have some ideas? i really dont wanan add doxy, last time abx made me so worst.
im taking quite high all of the common antimicr. Buhner herbs.

thanks

i dont know if buhners herbs work in the same way as an antibiotic does with babesia

the purpose of the antibiotic is to kill the form of Babesia that is sensitive to antibiotics - but not to mepron ( Babesia has a complex lifecycle with multiple stages and the different stages are sensitive to different drugs )

unfortunately i doubt anyone has done the study to find which herbs might work alongside mepron - in the same why as doxy or azithromycin ( 2 antibiotics commonly used for this purpose)

the lowest risk approach would be to use a known antibiotic / mepron combination and just tough it out - as its not forever

failing that you could try herbs that are known to be active for babesia - like cryptolepis or sida - but i suspect the dose would have to be high

all the best

mhhh its so difficult, i think i will breakd up my expirement... dont wanna make it worst.....
its to complicated.. i mean i take high doses of crytpo 4x4ml (1:2) ...
but i also have this tickbite 3 weeks ago... so i guess i will wait anotehr week and do another bloodwork, and if this is positiv i will do doxy with quensyl... its more safe i guess
