I am starting out tomorrow on Alinia for Babesia Duncani. I had to switch from Mepron/azithromycin for various reasons. Along with the Alinia, I'll be on rifampin, doxy, and Ceftin. Please share your experiences with a Alinia... the good and the bad. Thanks!

Alinia hit something (probably some parasites), but never managed to get Babesia Duncani under control. I have gotten much better mileage out of Bactrim, or Coartem/Primaquine as a therapy.
Note: Us with Babesia Duncani have a much tougher strain to get rid of compaired to those with Babesia Microti.

I agree with k84, haven't found Alinia to do much for my babesia duncani. It feels like it's doing something, but it didn't seem to be that strong for b. duncani. I just started IV clindamycin.

I am having a VERY hard time dealing with mine... I am now on just about every med there is. Mepron Clindamycin Azithromycin coartem artimesinin cryptolepis
But, what seems to have bee really hitting it is l arginine!! WOW, did it ever give me more air hunger... I am taking l arginine 8 grams daily.
My opinion is that it might now work for everyone, but Stephen Buhner claims L arginine alone can really kill babesia and possibly eliminate it.
Man, this stuff is TOUGH! Oh, and Alina didn't help me, but it has helped others. I don't think it kills babesia much.

quote:Originally posted by HW88: k84, do you take Bactrim for babesia?
Sorry, I have no experience with Alinia.
Yes, I have taken bactrim for basesia after it became resistant to Mepron and zith.
I managed to keep Babesia duncani under control for 7 months with large daily dose(s) of bactrim. Then I had to stop bactrim due to gut issues,and within a week babesia was rip roaring back.
Back in 2014 I threw a 1280 IGM for babesia duncani through Igenex, so that's as positive as one can get for having it.

Foxy lady, arginine also feeds protmyxzoa rhumatica (FL1953) and can cause increased air hunger (something to consider).

That IS something to consider. I did a quick google, and it looks like Dr. Fry is not certain that arginine feeds proto, BUT.... hmmm never checked to see if I had that infection.
I always assumed I didn't because, I don't respond to ivermectin or other anti parasite meds like alinia...
Thena again... not responding much to anything! Except more air hunger from arginine.
I will say it isn't getting worse.. if anything it does seem to be easing up.. I dunno!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a note about proto: betterhealthguy (Scott) reports that Dr Fry is now thinking that protomyxzoa rheumatica is funneliformis mosseae, which is more of a fungus (rather than a protozoa). He also reports seeing a type of algae in some patients' blood.
