Vancomyacin

[Charles555nc]

Dr. Burrascano says that vancomyacin is the best drug for treating lyme and that it treats bartonella as well. Anyone tried this or heard of any success stories with vancomyacin?

Im meeting Dr. Jemsek next month (850$ price tag) and I will demand and receive vancomyacin, hopefully.

Also, anyone know how expensive it is? I know it has to be done through IV which adds to the cost and that something called red man syndrome can result from the medication.

Be interested in replies to this too.

There's a big Lyme conference on this weekend. Perhaps more info will come from that.

Vamcomycin is quite expensive, maybe this is why many of us haven't had experiences with this. Also maybe reserved for more acute illnesses in a hospital setting.
