Got this one emailed to me:
Diflucan 2x200mg, at least for 3 months but likely longer Ampfo-Moronal Suspension 3x1 before food Cholestyramine 2x8g at least for a year Actos 3x15mg for two weeks Vitamins A,D,E, K
Seems like the treatment targets fungus (but there was this German paper about effectiveness of difulcan in boreliosis so who knows)

Thanks Areneli
Yes this is the sort of protocol I had heard from and supposedly was helping people with borrelia.
I am waiting to hear from my doctor about trying it because I get yeast issues very easily and the abx don't seem to help me much.

I've been on diflucan I believe for 4 months; every other day and now daily since March appt.
My beginner LLMD said it's also good for brain fog memory problems. Haven't noticed any difference in any of my problems.

I rather think that that this described above treatment is helpful for people who received a lot of antibiotics, developed undiagnosed Candida (Candida is easy to confuse with boreliosis - symptoms are very similar) ... and that is why it works for some people.
Candida is likely more common than we think.

I have been having definite herx symptoms from the Diflucan. I know that it is working and it is not the yeast. Yeast does not cause neuro symptoms for me like a herx. I do not have a yeast issue and have been on a VERY strict absolutely no yeast diet since March.
I am only on a small dose of Diflucan 100mg and will be increasing shortly. If someone has recommended Diflucan for you I would give it a try.

I think this poster is talking about the diflucan protocol wherein,
they took 11 neuroborreliosis patients who did not get better on abx, and put them on 200 mg of diflucan daily for 25 days. After those 25 days, 8 of those people were "cured" and remained fine on checkup a year later.
I have the study somewhere. I know its also posted on CanLyme and Ilads cite, I believe.
The theory is that something like lyme needs the P450 pathway in the body to survive, and diflucan uses the P450 pathway and disables it. Something like that.
I believe, that they have also linked diflucan to a possible cyst buster for that very cause. I dont know, dont agree, dont disagree, so dont shoot the messenger. Thanks.
Beyond that, I have been on diflucan my entire treatment. It hasnt cured me.
But I can guaranteeeee you this:
I DO get neuro symptoms with *MY* yeast, and I DO get neuro symptoms upon yeast die off.

Thanks CrimeofLife you have described the protocol I was thinking about. I am still waiting to hear from my LLMD but have been taking 150 mg flucanzole every 3rd day together with 6 Amphoceterin B lozenges daily and I feel a lot better than when on abx, early days though.
