Is Plaquenil a cyst buster? IS it true that it creates cysts? What is the score on this medication?

Posted by Paul Mall (Member # 27581) on :

I heard online that it is a mild cyst buster but when I brought it up to my LLMD he says no..

he said it helps antibiotics get at the lyme but is not a "CYST BUSTER"

I have been on it since the start of treatment along with Minocycline and now started to pulse Flagyl for the cyst busting

Seems to be a great Combo!

My LLMD says it is a mild cyst buster. He told me this because I was not tolerating tini.

It also helps macrolides to work better.

And it's antimalarial.

Highly doubt it's a cyst buster. But these LLMDs all have different thoughts, none proven though.

I am on it too - I'll ask my LLMD when I see him next Thurs.

I'd like to know this too, since my child's LLMD took her off it saying it causes cysts!?

Has her on Tindamax now.......

plaquinil changes your blood ph allowing the abx to more effectivly kill the ketes period !

you can read this is in dr b's guidelines !

flagyl and tindamax are the cyst busters !
