Is Plaquenil a cyst buster? IS it true that it creates cysts? What is the score on this medication?

I heard online that it is a mild cyst buster but when I brought it up to my LLMD he says no..

he said it helps antibiotics get at the lyme but is not a "CYST BUSTER"

I have been on it since the start of treatment along with Minocycline and now started to pulse Flagyl for the cyst busting

Seems to be a great Combo!

My LLMD says it is a mild cyst buster. He told me this because I was not tolerating tini.

It also helps macrolides to work better.

And it's antimalarial.

Highly doubt it's a cyst buster. But these LLMDs all have different thoughts, none proven though.
