Can someone comment on the treatment of the different forms of the spirochete. How is that done?

I know that different types of ABX will work for the different forms. So how, and when are they all worked into the protocol?

Do you take ABX at the same time as something like Flagyl?

I'm having difficulty reading all the material...confusion and vision problems.

I'm taking: azithromycin, cumanda, samento, burbur, nystatin and probiotics (for candida), artemisinin, boluoke and immune support. Is anything I'm taking hitting all 3 forms?

Thanks for the clarification, I can really use it. Take care.

Hmmmm...I should know this!! [Wink]

I know that flagyl hits the cyst form. I'm not sure which hits the L form. I think just about any of the abx will hit the other two forms.

You can take flagyl along with zith or mino, or biaxin..etc.

Maybe the experts will show up later!!

Most LLMD's do not start out with Flagyl -- it is not usually added in until somewhere down the road. You could probably not tolerate the herx if you started off with meds to treat all forms at once.

Some people believe that high doses of goldenseal (herb) may work on the cyst form but not sure if it really does or not.
