Hi All,
I'm in the last phase of the Dr K Parasite protocol and the pharmacy says that they aren't able to order Alinia due to a back order?? Seriously!

I really wanted to do everything exact...has anyone else had this problem? What was a good substitute?

Yes, I have been told it isn't available. Pharmacy scoured the area for all they could get.

Our LLMD has changed to Artemisinin.

My LLMD wanted me to switch from tindamax to alinia over a month ago. He says it works on the brain better. Apparently the FDA is sitting on approval of a lot. This is the reason why noone can get it .
VERY FRUSTRATING

Yes, my pharmacy was able to track some down for me this summer, but I'm out of luck right now.

I had no luck either. I ordered from a Canadian pharmacy that sells the generic form. I'm hoping it's not a scam!

Alinia is now available. I was at my LLMD today and the Alimia rep happened to call and tell him that a local pharmacy had 4 bottles.
Call around and you may be able to get dome
