Has anyone tried this drug. One of my Dr.s said that it is the closest thing to a cure they have. He said I need to cut the pill into little pieces because I will herx so bad. Anyone??

A cure from what?
Ivermectin hits parasites. While parasites are a major piece of puzzle I'd hardly call it a cure.
The mere fact doctors are having amazing results with it (enough to call it a cure for Lyme) tells you how important parasites are in the Lyme Complex.

Thank you. Have you taken it? Any feedback?

I'll be starting on this too, in the next month. Slow... baby doses is what he told me we will start out with. I see your same dr.
FL9153 is what we're treating. Low fat diet too. Along with other abxs.
Yes, pretty wierd that after all this, a parasitic is working good for everyone. I'm a bit afraid to start... but will take it slow.
I ended up in the hospital from diflucan herx in June... so I really don't want to herx bad with anything right now.

I started the Ivermectin four days ago and am taking it four times a day. I saw stars and things seem surreal at times but I had a far worse herx on Diflucan. I'm on two antiparasite drugs right now and functioning ok. It is messing with my mind some but the Dr. said that's cause their in my brain too. Gross I wouldn't be to afraid but everybody has different chemistry. Truesun

Truesun,
Parasites also control our mind in many respects. So even killing intestinal parasites can cause "mind" symptoms (hallucinations, OCD, grinding teeth, vision issues)

Truesun, when you say you passed it on to your sons, what exactly do you mean. Did the Mother of your sons have Lyme, or just you. My wife and I were thinking of starting a family. She's ok, Im obviously not. What are your thoughts, I am very nervous but cant delay her any longer. I don't know what to do???

Hadlyme, I have never met anyone who has my same Dr. If it is Dr. F in AZ, will you send me a private message so we can talk??
