Getting ready to start a 3-day pulse. Pharmacist had never heard of it. Why don't docs prescribe this more?

Any experiences? Warnings?
:-)

Our pharm had to order it for us. Two of us here are on it. Really don't notice a difference of any kind. No side effects for us. Kinda looks like candy!!!!Have taken it with mepron and now with clindy.

Good luck with it,

Sounds good! I can't tolerate Mepron, Malarone, or Lariam, so this is one of the last rx options :-)

MMS might be another option for treating Babs. There is now a MMS thread here at LymeNet.

There is also a video about a study last December 2012 showing MMS given to malarial patients in Africa. They were ALL cured with one/two doses.

Since babs is similar to malaria, it might be helpful for us.

Here is the video:

I'm going to start a new post with the video to see what others think about it.

My doc is open to MMS treatment, too! Sounds good.

What different protocols are people doing with Coartem/Riamet, i.e., with Mepron? Taken at a lesser dose, but over a week, etc.?

Are you instructed to take it with other meds for infections, or by itself?

Are you instructed to do a wash-out before and after Coartem of other meds for TBD's? If so, how long---3 days?
