I know this may not be popular BUT is there the possibility that BART is what is troubling most of the uncureable Lymies more than Lyme itself.
I have read so many articles lately about how BART appears to be a major menance in itself and that there are people who are immunocompetent that do get a chronic form of BART.
Could it be that if someone gets a certain strain of BART OR unlucky enough to get more than one strain of BART that they cannot clear it on their own?
My question is to the people who have treated BART. Please, do you feel that BART is gone after treatment with the big hitters like Rifampin and Doxy or just knocked back by the treatements you used. Do you find you have to hit it again?
Which treatment worked to clear it for you.
Thanks, for your responses.

It needs to be treated for a very long time. I treated with Cipro for 5 months. I felt almost well again. But it came back pretty quickly. I am now on Cipro again, and it is working, but I suspect that I will need to go through a few diff abx for Bart before it's gone for good.

People do get rid of it after years of having it. But it is TOOOOUUUGH. Then again so is Babesia....and Borellia

For me bartonella is the hardest thing to kill from all these infections even with the big guns like rifampin an mino.

My bartonella is gone. I still had it when I went to Germany, then after several months of photon therapy it is gone. Other than eat right and exercise, I don't do anything for maintenance. I've been well for over 3 years.

I think it all depends on the individual, your health history: what you've been exposed to, whatever you currently have as well, and dna. Bart is the one co infection that probably goes undetected the most. I think it's easy to miss. My first LLMD missed it.
I think you just have to keep plugging away at it. It takes a long time, like Lymeboy said. I have to keep plugging away at all my co infections.
Doxy and rifampin really helped me (knocked it down). But it still came back, so I'm working on it. It's getting better though. It's not even a tenth as bad as babs is for me though, so I don't really worry about it. Just keep plugging away at it.

My Bartonella is gone too. It took 3 months of photoning with PE-1 and Bartonella nosode. After I came back from Germany I was stil very positive for Bartonella. Before that I did 3 years of all kinds of abx combos.

I may never get rid of Bart. It hangs out in endothelial cells. It evades treatment and immune system.
It is definitely what's keeping me sick.
