did the dizzyness feel like vertigo..and only when looking up or down...did it eventually go away...as I have heard problems in the lab in the brain stem in mice...did you diizyness eventually improve and symptoms abate?

I think its a side effect from the art.

Ive been on it for a month now and have that same feeling kinda like an eye buzz thing you got from going to a jethro tull concert in the 70's [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

pj,

What dosage/pulsing do you do?

I just bought the 400mg capsules and am not quite sure how much to take/day.

I know to pulse the art... but in what amounts I dunno.

You need to start slowly, 1/4 of a capsule and add slowly when you can tolerate it.
I would now take a day off and then start on a lower dose.

so just add it to water? 1/4 capsule?

maybe take it 3 times/day? for 3 days... then take 1 week off or 11 days off?

Im doing 500mg 2x per day.

I just finished clindy and quinine

and rotated that with biaxin and plaquinil both for 10 days on each.

remember to do art for no more than 21 days then take a break. they say if you do it for more it renders it less effective.

pj,

I've even heard to supplement with art around the babs cycle.

Usually ends up being 3 days per week or 3 days per 2 weeks.

I can't find my babs cycle (and im 2 weeks into babs treatment) lol

canefan mark your next herx on the calendar then next time you feel like $hit again mark that down if your like me it will be every 4 weeks like clockwork


jola what can I say im an old _art lol [Big Grin]


most llmd's dont prescribe artemesinin because its not an fda approved drug , you can find lots of info in steven herrod buhners book healing lyme its got quite a bit of info in it on herbs etc.

for the most part I follow dr b's guidlines but babesia is a whole new ball game and from everything I have read art is a good thing to add .
