My LLMD prescribed a new abx regimen that targets all forms of Bbs and said is effective:

Zith, 500mg,1 Bid;
Tini, 500mg, 1 Bid;
Ceftin, 500mg, 1 Bid.

for two weeks with 3 refills.

Has any body tried this and how was it?

Hey Dave, I know someone who is doing zith, tini and art. He did two months of zith, mepron and art for babs. Feeling poor and herxing. He feels pretty decent on the new combo though.

I'd thnk the tini combined with art would certainly go after babs. The combo your on seems more directed at the various forms of Bb. I'd definitely watch the herx's though, could see some major die-off.

Thanks, NP for the information. I have done the Mepron/Zith/Arte for 21 days and didn't have obvious improvement.

I sure have Babs, cus when I off Arte. for just a couple of days, my palps and sweeting would increase.

I might go back to Mepron or try the combo you mentioned: Tini/Zith/Arte.

Seems good, but I think a better combo might have been Ceftin, Biaxin, Tini. Biaxin seems to be a better option than Zith.

Be well,

Tree,

My LLMD didn't say it's for Babs but for all forms of Bbs.

However from some posts here, seems Tini and Zith will go after Babs.

Tini does have anti-protozoan activity and I have good results on it.

So probably this regimen would target both Babs and Bbs and that's why my LLMD said it's working.

Hope this would help.

Take care.

Dave
