I made it exactly 2 weeks at 5ml (750) 2 x day . My mood actually had gotten way better as did many symptoms, but the last few days I could feel it coming on, as in the Herx.

The bad dreams were there from the beginning as was the nausea, but now I'm aching and shaking all over. My mood is in the Trash. I feel like I've been hit by the famous train that gets everyone.

I could keep going, by my CNS is under siege.

What amazes me is how tired I can be, so much that I go for coffee to try and wake up, yet at the same time, I'm shaking and feel such intense Nervousnous inside my entire body.

In addition, I have been on Arteminisin 200mg 2x day, Colloidal Silver, Coconut oil 1 tbs at night and some Caprylic Acid.

My blood isn't looking so great either. Take a look.

Click here for video #2

Not sure what these are in the second video. Very scary, all of this I'm seeing.

Perhaps the Mepron is destrying RBC's in video #1 and thats what I'm seeing.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Gary,

I am on treatment for babs too. I have been through some rough times, but they get better. I have had to stop a couple of times.

Once in January because too much dead bacteria in my kidneys and started having some kidney issues, so I stopped until March when all was clear.

Then, in April I had to stop again because my heart began racing too much and I felt like I was on speed 24/7 as well as horrible insomnia kicked in for about 4 weeks and nothing helped me get any sleep at all.

I stuck it out and didn't really take a break from all meds, just switched things up for a while. I went on naturals for about 4 weeks, now I'm back on mepron/malarone and at it again - going on 4 weeks and killing babs again, this time around so far pretty good.

My advice is to take a day or two off and detox, detox, detox and then start up again. Some LLMD's work a break into the protocol for example two weeks on mepron then 1 week off, so the toxins can clear from your system, so it is okay to take a short breaak.

I just looked at your second video - I honestly think that it could be lyme in biofilm. It looks like it could be and it is similar to other utube videos that I have seen.

Mepron takes several weeks to build up in your blood so usually the fourth week is the worst herx. I felt really horrible the first month and then just miserable the second month.

Someone said she felt much better after a one week break. When she went back on she did not have the same reaction. You have to be careful not to overload yourself when you take Mepron. Six months into it, I am trying to increase my dose and it always causes a herx.

It is good that it is working for you.

Gary,

I am new on this board and have been watching your other videos (especially the c-salt ones) and now am wondering why you are on mepron for babs? Did you have to quit the salt-c????

Gary,

I've just finished week 4 of Mepron, 1 tsp twice a day. Also taking Omnicef and Zith since 3/31/11. Last two weeks have not been that great, and hope to see improvements soon. Just had blood test this am for Liver enzymes.

I never gave babs much thought since I never had night sweats, and most symptoms were joint paint and stiffness, Sleep disturbance, and head/pressure/short term memory problems. Now I'm having more random bone pain and global head pressure.

Detox with lemon water and green tea. See the doc later this month and may need to increase dose or add the Arteminisin.

Hang in there, take a short break and hit 'em again hard.
