Interesting. What treatments worked for you?
Most antibiotics do nothing for my Lyme. The exceptions are Dapsone and Bactrim, and I figure this has to do with them being persister drugs. And yet the die off I get from garlic is just about as intense as what I get from Bactrim. Garlic's efficacy here is something I learned about long before the study showing garlic and various other herbs to be effective for Lyme persisters came out. This is the one I'd recommend to those just getting started. It's also anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, and a lot more.
I tested positive for babesia duncani at the same time as I did Lyme. I took all kinds of stuff to try to eradicate the infection but was unable to, so I now take 1 malarone and 1 primaquine per day to maintain life-changing improvement.
I don't think I would have gotten anywhere had I not moved from a moldy house.
I can just about guarantee that if someone has Lyme as well as ME/CFS there's a whole lot more going on. Going after Lyme with drugs is in this case, I believe, the wrong approach. Dr deMeirleir was at fault not because he was too radical but because he wasn't radical enough. Herbs and detox is the way to start for chronic Lyme, and then maybe some meds, but most MD's don't yet understand this.
I highly recommend Dr Neil Nathan's "Toxic." There's enough in that book to start a health revolution.
