Several people have mentioned seeing this video where Dr. B talks about Levaquin and Bartonella.

Is this available online somewhere? If so, I'd like to see it, could someone post a link to it or PM it to me?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but that's not the one. Someone here recently referenced a video by Dr. B where he talks specifically about Bartonella and success with Levaquin.

Anyone know what I'm referring to?

Hi Andrew,
I posted this back in Feb of this year:
You may want to get the presentation by Dr. B. on BLO's (bartonella like organims)
http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/DVD.html

go to the 2nd entry

Some brief notes from that DVD
He say's that 8-12 weeks levoflaxoxin seems to be the cure but other abx that work for cat scratch does not work.
cipro levofloxacin best treatment - efficacy decreased if given with other erythros

some abx improve symptoms but don't clear infection -

zithro does not work and doxy does not work

3 months if tolerated - more effective if given with proton pump inhibitor

Best if you get the DVD and watch it in order to get all the details.

Is that the video you were thinking of? As far as I know you can't view it on line.

I can vouch for the fact that zithro and doxy do not work for my bartonella infection. I've been on them for many months and I still have the streaks and symptoms.

zith with Rifampin worked well for my daughter. Our doc did NOT want to use Leviquan. He must've had a lot of trouble with it. There were some other reasons, I can't remember.

At the time, he didn't want to change my daugter's treatment because she was making some headway.

So, I wouldn't say that zith was impotent. It certainly gave her a herx.

There are also many strains of bartonella. My daughter happened to test positive for two of the most common.
