It's called a pro-oxidant IV. I assume it brings oxygen to the body, which I know is

helpful for Lyme treatment.

But I remember reading somewhere that hyperbaric oxygen chambers made babesia worse, so I'm

thinking a hydrogen peroxide IV would possibly make babesia worse also?

Janice-

Below is a pubmed article that talked about a study done that showed Hydrogen Peroxide killing Malaria type parasites. I have been thinking about this decision for about a month since diagnosed with Babesia as well -- have not yet decided.

To some this is very controversial so each person will need to come to their own decision.
