this is my 3 week update on my Primaquine and Chloroquine treatment --
This is the second time I have taken this-
The first time my body temp was 89F for 35 hours my hart was beating about 300 bpm -
I Seriously thought I might die any second for about 5 days --
Then things smooth out and my babs was Much Decreased -
I took the Chloroquine for 5 days and the Primaquine for 30 days --
After about 2 more months of my regular Babs treatment I was Feeling Great -- Zero symptoms --
I told my LLMD that she could take on a new person to fill my place --
Then about 5 days after talking to my LLMD I got bit again by a tick and had a big bullseye on my elbow --
I got Very Sick again Quickly -- Im sure I got infected with Babs -Lyme- and maybe Bart -
I took High doses of ABX for 4 months or so -I started feeling perty good again --
Then my Mepron supply was getting low so I decided to take Fill the remainder of my Primaquine - Chlorquine script --
The treatment is 5 days of Chloroquine - and take ONE Primaquine a day for 30 days -
On day 4 of treatment I was herxing Perty Bad - Not even close to the Herx I had the first time tho -
after 2 weeks I started feeling perty Good again
Now at 3 weeks I have Zero Babs symptoms - It did make me Very Dizzy and my ears are Ringing but Not to bad -- My vision is perty Fuzzy -
Over all I feel Perty Good -
My body temp is perty steady around 97F - Blood pressure and heart beat are normal -
My pee has mostly gone to normal color and dose not smell as bad as normal with Babs-
The Primaquine comes in bottles of 100- about $90 - so I am going to take it for the next 60 days --
Chloroquine comes in bottles of 25 - cost about $100 --
I am also drinking 1 liter of Tonic Water a day- Schweppes brand -- It has more Quinine in it then the cheap brands because Quinine has gotten Very expensive in the last 8 months --
It tastes Horrible -- but you got to do what you got to do to get well again -
Also it is best to take Doxi also with this medicine according to the WHO info I read-
I have only taken 1 tsp of Mepron last week- and have taken None sense --
I think the First time that I took the Primaquine and Chloroquine it had Alot to do with my recovery before I got Bit Again --
I dont know if this treatment is going to be the Silver Bullet but it could be--
The Cure rate for Malaria is around 90% -- If relapse occurs a Second treatment is done and it has even Higher success rate --
So Maybe this could work ---
I will update you all on further results-
More info can be found by Googling -- WHO Primaquine Chloroquine --
It sure would be Nice if this works--Jay--
