Hi Guys,
I'm so frustrated right now. I'm supose to be starting a parasite protocol which starts with Biltricide, and now I can't get it because of cost (I hatttttteeeee that!!!!!). Anyways, I'm really upset. Does anyone know if there is a substitute? Its the first drug on a Dr K parasite protocol.

You can look into antiparasitic herbs and salt/c. A much cheaper alternative.

How much is the biltricide?
 
Posted by anuta (Member # 22646) on :
 
There is only 2 days of Biltricide in this protocol, so it does not cost you that much- I paid around 80$. To compare with Alinia that was 1600$.

They are charging me $150 for 2 days worth, the problem is I've already paid about $800 just in the last 10 days in other medication costs, etc...so its starting to hurt!

If you are up for it - you could get veterinarian meds...

Biltricide is Praziquantel. You save a manure load of cash this way...

ahh that would have been perfect, I just bit the bullet and got it at the pharmacy. I'll def do that though next time.

The difference in price is unbelievable... No wonder we are in such a huge health crisis hole. I can't really see why there's such a big difference between horse meds & human meds. It's the same drug.

Having looked at the drug industry as my job, I can tell you that the drugs for humans and animals are made by the same company at the same plant-the formulations and dosages can be different -but the active ingredient is absolutely the same. The issue on the horse meds is how do you convert it from horse dosages to human? I can't tell bu they look like they are injected.
