Tabers,
Thanks for asking.
Since I thought I didn't have Babesia, I discontinued Bab treatment including Changshan, which I took for awhile(see my post above. I bought two bottles and used one and a half)and I didn't see any obvious toxicity nor improvement.
I have done two rounds of 28-days of Mepron/ZIth/Arte, which didn't give me any improvement but relapse.
I then switched to Bart. treatment with Levaquin or Rifampin, which gave me immediate improvement.
So I figured that my symptoms were caused by Bart.
Right now I am Dough rifing while pulsing Rifampin/Arte or Mino/Arte. MWF and garlic juice.
I feel good(85% recovery) recently and hope eventually will get out the woods soon.
Best wishes,
Dave

Dave6002, Thanks for the [older post] long but very interesting article. Did you notice this gem?
quote:After Dr. Cheng Peizhen succeeded in the clinical experiment, he further found that changshan used alone was as effective against malaria as when used in combination with other substances, except for attendant nausea.
If I am reading this correctly, it is saying that the nausea is present when the herb is used ALONE.
Maybe that is why the traditional formula used multiple herbs? To avoid the nausea?

Marnie, When I read your post about the dog cure with IV sod bicarb, It reminded me of Nov 2 2005. I drank 7 teaspoons of sod bicarb in 4 oz of oj.
I had had a deep seated burning ache in center of head for 11 and 1/2 years constant day and night. Had that damn pain while asleep, while awake. I laughed with it and cried with it.
When I drank the drink I felt a drainage pouring,oozing, and dripping from top of my head and I knew that the pain had left me.
Guess what? That pain has never returned. It has been 1 and 1/2 years. I still drink it every month at least.
Do you think I had babs?
I never imagined that that pain would ever go away. Husband and I thought that a brain tumor was missed on tests.
