It seems some LLMDs pulse art and some prescribe it daily.
Art kills parasites for me. Although I started Albenza 10 days ago, each time I pulse Art, I pass more parasites. I think it works better than Albenza.

My doc has me on 2 weeks - off 2 weeks. I think what he said was it builds up a coating inside the stomach if on it for long periods of time.
I can't remember the reason I am on it. Is that what it is for, parasites?

It is used for babs treatment.

I take it myself, not prescribed. I take 400mg twice a day every day. I only take a break when I don't take the supplements one day or run out. I have no idea if it works. Probably not as my babs symptoms are getting stronger but I see a LLMD on the 22nd.

It has to be taken with grapefruit juice, otherwise a resistance develops.
If grapefruit juice is not tolerated (my case) it's to be taken every day for three weeks and stopped for one week. Repeating the cycle
