I take a multi vitamin, but I'm quite sure my doc never mentioned any depletion possibility. I do regular labs though....
Alinia is one I've tried which seemed to move me forward more but again, did not seem to have the same action as Tinidazole. I might try Daraprim next year....
Could be. Thanks. I have wondered if Tinidazole could be hitting something other than cysts. But in my experience, it seems that w/o Tinidazole or Flagyl my progress is completely blocked. They do...
I heard that he was not insured by United Healthcare....
My doctor recommended Nutribiotic brand, though I had already bought another brand before knowing that. My first impression upon trying Grapefruit Seed Extract is that it is like some other things...
Ah, you're right. Getting my wires crossed. Thank you. It's a little confusing as I'm seeing Grape Seed Extract and Grapefruit Seed Extract both referred to as GSE. For clarity, what I posted about...
Huh, so this website says that while grapefruit interacts with many drugs, Grapefruit Seed Extract does not....
Thanks for doing the research. Noted this section. "Based on previous observa-tions, the oxidative metabolites from MTZ metabolism are shown to have more carcinogenic effects than the parent drug...
Interesting. Thank you. And we also have the Lyme risk and possibility of that even causing cancer. Barring a miracle or some other good alternative emerging (haven't tried Grapefruit Seed Extract...
Apparently, she was alerted to it by a patient. She searched it during appt when I mentioned that I had heard the risk in regard to Flagyl. I'm not sure that she had researched it too well really....
My doc raised the alarm about Tinidazole after another patient didn't want to take it because of the cancer "risk". Doc asked me to cut back and try Grapefruit Seed Extract. I agreed to try the...
I use an ad blocker that seems to work well so I'm not seeing anything - ublock origin....
Ok yeah, I'm seeing it 16 tablets for over $250. But perhaps that's not too bad considering it's not taken every day. It pulled up under Krintafel....
I'm curious where you would get tafenoquine and how expensive it would be. From what I've heard, it can be had in the US but is super expensive. I've only found Primaquine overseas. I've used Mepron...
Yes, and anti-parasitic. It's used a lot for the Lyme cyst form. I won't be surprised if Mom has to add some other stuff for Babs as well, but she's had a couple better days on the IVM and...
My mom just started using IVM. Only 3mg per day right now. Combined with some Tinidazole for Lyme. It's definitely doing something....
The Dude Abides, thank you. Our roads are quite good near us though I don't think we would have to go too far to find those washed out. And we just heard that a mountain road into a rather...
hi there is some evidence that most antibiotics cause some immune suppression while you are taking them - things like neutrophils etc are often lower and some abx have direct anti-inflammatory...
Our area was affected (not as bad as some areas) but thank God we personally escaped the worst. It was so unexpected I think, and that made it even worse....
My blood glucose would run in the upper 90s. After treating Babs more heavily, I've seen it come down some (down into upper 80s at times), but it still fluctuates. But I definitely seem to see a...
I didn't know that. Maybe....
Interesting. Alinia seemed to hit areas that weren't getting as much help from the other abx like in a more straightforward way if that makes sense. The herxes seem to change, maybe because it kills...
I've used most of these. Using mainly Rifabutin, Septra DS, Cipro, Tinidazole, and Alinia right now. Alinia was a very helpful more recent addition that seems to have helped me make better and...
I think problems with SB are rare and mainly in severely immunocompromised people as noted below. I've taken SB for at least a few years with no noted problems....
My doc has always said it's fine to take SB with abx so that's what I do....
Interesting. I'm one who hasn't been sick with a cold in years and has never had Covid symptoms. Four to five months ago, I had some cold symptoms but am not for sure whether it was a cold or herx....
Very interesting. My mom is struggling with diarrhea while on Alinia right now. Still trying to figure out why and how to cope with it....
I had posted about Lyme and kidneys awhile back but can't find the thread to update it now. That post was about my Mom's kidney #s and whether it was safe to treat her for Lyme & Co. with abx. Her...
You could contact ILADS - they should have a list[/quote] Thanks a lot, Girlie. I was able to get a list from Global Lyme Alliance....
When I first had symptoms for Lyme as a child, the doctor told me I probably either had RA or Lyme. He did a blood test (not sure what test) and confirmed Lyme. ABX cleared symptoms then, but I'm...
If you don’t get any suggestions - you can email me - I may have some on my “list” It is an older list so some docs I have on it may have retired.[/quote] Thanks....
Does anyone know of a good Lyme literate doc in NC? Preferably central/eastern NC. Knowledge of hormones would probably be of benefit. Thanks....
I see. Makes it tough. Maybe you could back off on the biofilm breakers (lumbrokinase, clove, oregano, cinnamon) to see if that gives any relief in case you're overdoing it....
One other thing I do is sometimes take Rifabutin and Septra DS while I'm on Alinia. Just a few days on Alinia seems to be enough for Bart/BLO to rear its head. One reason I rotate so much is because...
Do you take anything for Bart or Lyme? Sometimes I think those other infections rise to the top and even though we may still have the Babs symptoms (even flaring worse), we can't really make...
My PA told me that taking Cipro pulsed one week out of a month, it doesn't seem to be too risky. That's basically how I'm taking it now. And my PA is not really one who likes to take big risks in...
I contacted my PA since she has had connection with Dr. J's clinic and all she would tell me was the following: "Yes, it's a mess up there in DC. I can't add anything right now."...
Sarah r, What abx did you take and what doses? Were you stable before you took the abx and did taking the abx flare up some symptoms you already had or were most of them new symptoms? Sometimes I...
I have vivid dreams off and on. I think it's worse in certain herxes or flares. I think I have Lyme and Bart....
Her hearing loss was never what I would call deaf. I guess I would say it's not enough for me to think anything additional needs to be done at this point. Thanks for that info. That's interesting...
She's doing fair, but it's clear she's fighting infections. We are treating her with Tinidazole, Rifampin, and Septra DS currently. Funny thing, that's the combo that is helping me now. Her hearing...
Hawthorne is good for the heart....
[/quote] "Point is that if someone I knew had Alzheimer, I would have them try antibiotics and anti-virals." I think I would do this too....
I sent him your e-mail....
So far, Visory seems to be saving me at least a few dollars compared to goodrx. On cheaper meds that is. On my recent Mepron purchase, it may have saved me about $50....
Wow, that's great. I'm looking forward to using it more too....
Insurance drives prices way up, so that's one factor. I learned something too from you. I did not know Walmart uses Visory as well. They are closer to me than Krogers. I was a bit surprised when the...
Krogers (at least near me) is using Visory now....
Might want to try Krogers if you have one near you. Kroger pharmacy told me they use Visory now instead of Goodrx, because they weren't getting as good a discount from Goodrx anymore....
I just had my thyroid checked, and it wasn't too bad so I'm still 99% sure mine is infection....
