My husband is using this in addition to arteminisin and mepron. He does not herx from the cryptolepsis but the arteminisin kicks his butt.

Some people sometimes don't have a huge herx to something new. I would be happy about that.

It is effective for Babesia. As far as teens using it, google it and you may find out if it is contraindicated or not.

Just sharing my experience, I am not a doctor.

My young kids took it but we didn't have too much success. We had much better success with liquid Grapefruit seed extract. It hits babs! You need to start slow b/c it can cause huge herxes if you have a bad case. It also hits candida.

I think it is helping me. Of course it's always hard to tell what is helping when you're on 30 different things!

When my daughter was on mepron it helped immensely and when she finished taking mepron she continued with it for several months. She is an adult though so not sure about children and teens.

I took it but it made me itch and don't know if it was the timing,

but my stomach start acting like I had an ulcer.

I had just got off of Sporanox and Ceftinir.

I think that is honeslty what tore up the stomach.

If I herxed it was just another day not feeling well, not a big herx for sure.

I think it might have helped.

I am getting better, but off because of the itching I had with it.
