Got back positive for Bart. I know when dr used it years ago I was symptom free. Is this a drug for Bart, Lyme or both

Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :

It is for lyme according to Burrascano. See pages 12 and 19.

Used as a last resort. Doctors like to save this one for life-threatening infections.

Vanco is the only antibiotic that had zero effect for me. It was easy to tolerate for me too, like water going in. I've heard it works great for some people though. It doesn't kill Bart so well.
