This was a wonder drug for me. It not only works in conjunction with your babs meds, but it will hit the bart as well.
Just remember to drink a lot of water.

probably most effective with bartonella. Probley has some minimal effect but not effective enough with lyme or babs. Has very little effect on lyme in vitro (in test tube). Shouldn't be very effective on babs- protozoa- not bacteria.

Often used with rifampin I think for bart.

Was a WONDER drug for this local woman too- got her to 999999.999999%!!! I would have taken it but I am allergic to sulfa- I WISH I could take it- it is a not usually prescribed one so she is the only person I know who has taken it around here- but it worked amazingly for her!!!!!!!!

I am on my second month of bactrim at 1600mg a day.

I am also on malarone 1000mg day, zithromax 600mg a day, flagyl 250mg a week, and diflucan 100mg 2 x a week.

My lymph nodes which have been grossly swollen all over (neck, groin area, arm pits) have all gone down significantly.

Since my LLMD thinks I have bart as well, I have thought that the bactrim is helping.

Hugs,

Geneal
