I am currently on minocycline, zithro, plaquenil, and IM bicillin.

He is considering adding tindamax.

Which of these ABX are considered cyst busters?

What others not mentioned are?

Thanks!

I thought plaquenil was, but double check.

Also, don't forget grapefruit seed extract.

Some believe plaquenil is a cyst buster but others believe it's not as effective as Flagyl.

I think if you do grapeseed extract it needs to be citricidal type due to the effect comes from
the way it is processed.

Tindamax is a cyst buster for lyme.
Azithro is a crypt buster for chlamydia pneumonia. If you get worse after azithro read cpnhelp.org.

Do you mean worse AFTER you stop taking Zith? I stopped taking it 2 weeks ago, and I have felt myslef backsliding quite a bit. Not to mention the fact I think is damaged my ears further than they were

Zith won't do much for chronic(acute maybe) cpn. It is used just as a adjunct to prevent resistance to doxy or mino. It does nothing for cysts/crypts?. I have cpn and don't herx from zith alone, only when its combined with another abx. I called vander bilt about it and thats the answer I got. I think Eva Sapi concluded plaq does not get cysts but I think that was in a test tube and who knows what it does in the body. I herxed horrible from plaq...but plaq is from the quinolone family just like levaquin.
