Could you lovely people (wink wink) let me know if this sounds like it only treats Babs?

Here's the medication on my list, to be tried next:

clindamycin and quinine for ten days then biaxin and plaquenil for ten days and so on... (If I'm understanding this correctly, which by the way I'm not doing the treatment until I can contact my doctor for clarity.)

I'm just curious if this treatment ONLY treats Babs or if it also treats the Lyme bacteria at the same time?

Thanks!

Clindamycin, Biaxin, and Plaquenil are used to treat Lyme.

That was my thinking as well. I'm pretty sure sammy is right!

Some say that plaq has some action against babs.

Yes, Clindamycin, Biaxin, and Plaquenil can treat both Babesia and Lyme.

Hmmmm...I know that treatment plan well. it sounds like deja vu. [Smile] Let me guess it's for 40 days total. To answer your question, it doesn't treat much Lyme, but maybe some. Basically, you're hitting one form of Lyme at a time, not ILADS treatment.

Some say Plaquenil busts cysts. i feel it's BS, but I'm no LLMD.

40 days of anything for Babesia seems like poking a stick at an angry gorilla, especially if WA-1 strain. Good luck.

I really don't know. I am seeing an LLMD, just following his protocols.
