A while back, a holistic doc gave some Tricycline made by AllergyResearchGroup. One of the ingredients was Artesmia.
Feelfit, a member on this forum, mentioned perhaps I was feeling a bit better due to it being an anit-parasite and hitting Babesia. This was not my doc's intention at all though.
It was other ingredients as well in it. Has anyone taken this supplement?
I am considering taking it with Zithromax (500 mg), Plaquenil (250 mg 2 x day), and Nystatin. I also take 300 mg of Magnesium Glycinate daily as well along with Vit B12 injections.
I know others take Artesmia (pure) with Abx with no problems. I just want to make sure the other ingredients aren't an issue.
It's a relatively cheap supplement as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, here's better information for everyone I found on this herb. Hmmm..it has GSE as well in it. Interesting!

Description of Tricycline (Hypoallergenic) from Allergy Research Group�:
Tricycline is a microbial balancing formula that can enhance and complement the use of probiotics (friendly bacteria) and other nutrients that support gastrointestinal (GI) tract health.*
The human GI tract is actually an ecological system, harboring trillions of microorganisms, some beneficial to our health and some not. The cells that line the intestines, called villi, form a single layer that regulates digestion and absorbs the digested products. Probiotic bacteria live attached to the villi, finding food and shelter.
The probiotic microflora support the structure and functional integrity of this lining by helping to metabolize nutrients, vitamins, and hormones, and assisting in detoxification. They benefit their human host even as they derive benefit from the host. The result in the healthy person is an optimally-functional intestinal system. *
The probiotic bacteria compete for food and space with the non-beneficial, potentially damaging microorganisms that also try to make their home in the intestines. As long as the probiotic bacteria predominate, the human host can maintain optimum GI function, but when the unfriendly microbes begin to take over, imbalance (dysbiosis) can occur.
Overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria, protozoa or Candida albicans yeast, and depletion of friendly bacteria can cause breaks to develop in the intestinal lining. This "leaky gut" condition can give partially-digested food macromolecules access to the blood, promoting food intolerances and auto-antibody formations. This is one way we see that the health of the GI tract is crucial to the health of the whole body. *
Black walnut hulls, goldenseal and artemesia are herbs that have been used traditionally as microbial balancers. Combining their essential components with citrus seed extract gives
Tricycline a wide spectrum of action. Tricycline is a state of the art herbal formulation for moderating intestinal dysbiosis and for broad spectrum nutritional support of the gastrointestinal system. *
Berberine is a major active constituent of goldenseal, common barberry and Oregon grape.
Goldenseal was traditionally used by Native Americans and later by Eclectic physicians for GI problems, infections, and to stimulate liver function. Goldenseal has been studied for its potential to stimulate digestive function, to help control diarrhea, and to fight unfriendly microbes.
Studies involving berberine have shown it supports the function of the respiratory system, the mucous membranes, and works as a microbial balancer in the GI system. It is also found in Indian Barberry (Berberis aristata), used by Ayurvedic practitioners for GI support. *
Pure Artemisinin, or Qinghaosu, is the active constituent of the herb Artemesia annua (sweet wormwood). High quality Artemesia annua contains 0.3-0.5% artemisinin, so pure artemisinin provides hundreds of times more of the active constituent artemisinin than the whole herb itself.
Artemisinin has been recommended by WHO for problems associated with certain tropical parasites. Research has shown artemisinin to be particularly beneficial in balancing the microbiology of the GI tract. Allergy Research Group's� artemisinin has had independent cell tests verifying its effectiveness, and they also do independent HPLC potency assays. *
Citrus seed extract has a decades-long history of use for support of GI system function. It has been shown to help inhibit the proliferation of Candida, a yeast that can impinge upon probiotic bacteria and affect GI tract health.
Citrus seed extract has also been studied for its ability to inhibit the growth of H. pylori and C. jejuni, two bacteria sometimes found in the GI tract. The citrus seed extract in Tricycline is the purest available. *
The juice extracted from Black Walnut Hulls has traditionally been used in the treatment of herpes, eczema and porrigo, and a decoction was used to remove worms. The husk was chewed to address colic, and ground up husks are known to adversely affect insects.
Black walnut hulls are rich in tannins, with powerful astringent properties. *
