Re:Babesia, thyroid and ferritin, Selma

[Guest guest]

Selma and others:

What did you do to rid the Babesia? I am working on that now. I just don't

think my liver can take Art. I am going to do coconut oil for awhile and

then crypto. Well, that's my current idea.

Heidi, this is a copy paste of a post I did in September for lymenet.

-----------

I think I got rid of my second babesial infection. At least, my lyme

doctor couldn't find it anymore (nor me).

I only do energetic testing, and so does my doctor (ART), so skip the

post if you don't believe on these types of diagnostic. I'm symptom

free too, of course. No brain fog, no sweats, no change of body

temperature, no hot flushes, etc.

I believe there are two levels to treat babesia: first is to kill

lots of them, when you get next to symptom free; the treatment has to

be aggressive. Second level is to try to get rid of cysts to avoid

relapses; this is the most difficult in my opinion.

Then another thing to have in mind in my opinion is that babesia

loves the intestines and it loves the brain. So we need things to

kill on both.

My first babesial infection in 2005-2006 was treated with:

- Riamet (knocked all symptoms of 4 months very fast but I relapsed 2

weeks after); turmeric/ curcuma; artemisinin low doses 30 days

(relapsed); artemisinin high doses 3 days then repeated 2 weeks later

(relapsed and was sent to emergency with air hunger attacks); what

finally did the trick was PC-Noni low doses for a few months. It's a

cyst buster.

With this time infection, I couldn't get rid of relapses only with PC-

Noni.

--------------------------

Here's more or less what I did for this time babesial re-infection. I

started having night sweats and strong brain fog in the 2nd night

after tick bite in May. I had nigh sweats every night for a while and

that convinced me I had babesia again. ART tested positive (2

practioners) and my kinesiological tests too.

I took then (in May/part of June):

- homeopathic tick 'soup' from the tick that bit me (started potency

30C or so and went up to 65C) for about 2.5- 3 months

- ledum 200C – gets babs (few globules, once every couple of days)

- PC- Noni tincture (from Biopure, gets babs' cysts), 4-15 drops a

day for about 3.5 months

- thyroid sarcode homeopathic for thyroid support (as my thyroid gets

messed up everytime babesia is flaring, for about 3 months)

- iron supplements + iron homeopathic (also a babesial symptom; I get

lower amounts of Ferritin in the blood very fast with babesia for 2.5

months)

- lots of cleansers: specially chlorella, bear garlic tincture, and

loads of MSM, plus some lymph support (for that I use homeopathics

mostly OR lymph drainage, but I keep reading red root can do wonders

too). This mix of cleansers kept my brain functioning. Sometimes I

added chitosan, mucuna bean powder (intestines) and Destroxin. And

also a mystery oil (I will call it Endoflex, but I'm not sure, rubbed

on skin).

- frozen garlic (gets babs in the intestines very well; but it

doesn't cross B/B barrier according to my tests)- 3 " 00 " capsules a

day, after meals. It tested very good for acute phase (middle term:

about 1.5 months or so)

- gardenia decoction (it was my main babesia killer, together with

phellodendron decoction) (amount: was about 10-15 'fruits' a day for

about 3 months)

- phellodendron: gets babesia and other stuff, according to my tests

it crosses b/b barrier. (I took decoctions for more than 2 months, 1-

2 soup spoons). It has berberine as a chemical component (it gives to

it its yellow color).

- Artemisia annua decoction: twice a day (it tests better than

powder; I took it for less than 1 month; then was on and off when it

tested, but not too much).[it can't be taken together with other

decoctions]

- astragalus: on and off, tested good for babesia acute infection.

- KMT program 2 (babesia and borrelia). (on and off)

- bee pollen (helps to get bab's cysts; I took on and off, when it

tested, short term)

- artemisinin low doses (about 300mg/400mg a day for about 5 days,

then pause for 3 days then continue for about 3 weeks) (artemisinin

doesn't get cysts)

- pau d'arco tincture tested once as babs cyst buster (but I didn't

retest it to check; I use it still for candida; this time

reinfection, it was useful, it tested on and off).

- grapefruit seed extract: tested as babs cyst buster too, but only

in the GI tract (it doesn't cross b/b barrier); it never tests good

for too long (few days only)

- gervao (rain-tree): gets babs' cysts: it tested very good as it

gets so many other things, I took it for about 2 months (or more).

- neem tested good against babesia, but my body can't take it, so I

didn't take it.

- cats claw + Japanese knotweed: always (I don't know if they get

babs, but I was on these for the whole time).

-------------------------

In June, when I was getting desperate I couldn't get rid of babesia

with low artemisinin again, I decided to do a high dose treatment of

artemisinin (1,000mg/ day) and high doses turmeric (6 teaspoons/ day)

in combo for 3 days, repeated in two weeks interval to lower the

number of critters. Turmeric hits hard on the stomach, so I did with

full stomach, while artemisinin I used with empty stomach.

First high dose treatment I herxed immensely. I felt very toxic.

Second treatment, I almost didn't herx, nor felt ANY toxicity in 90%

of the time (except for the first dose of 400mg artemisinin in the

first day, then NOTHING in the following 2 days).

I also took pyrogenum 200K, as it tested good to get babs and babs'

cysts (3 globules/ day for a week).

I thought I was rid of it, but symptoms came back fast after stopping

artemisinin. In about 2 days, I felt fatigue, chills, brain fog, etc.

Exactly like my first babesial infection. Babesia kept coming back

and back again.

-------------

About July:

- amargo (rain-tree): gets babesia (it doesn't cross b/b barrier, it

seems, only gets babs in the GI tract and in blood). [watch out for

side effects though, better to test for each organ and use it only

temporarily] It's used for malaria. It is to be used very short term

(less than artemisinin). I took 2 " 00 " capsules if I remember well,

but it's too strong.

- gervao + phellodendron continued

- turmeric lower doses

- pc-noni: 15 drops or so

- KMT program 2 on and off

----------------------------

The babesial load was much smaller by the end of July, but still

there. That's when I discovered CARDAMON by chance. That was what was

missing to get the rest of cysts this time.

I introduced cardamon seeds in powder (mixed in my tea, 2-3 times a

day), and I think my babesia hated it. I felt my brain clearing while

still having my cup of tea with cardamon.

Then few days on cardamom + pc-noni, I finally got an EM rash, which

meant, borrelia surfacing again. Exactly like with my first babesial

infection. Once I got it down (that time, only with PC-Noni),

borrelia surfaced. This time, I needed the PC-Noni and the cardamon

to get it down.

-------------

So AFTER the aggressive treatments above, my cyst treatment was:

- lonicerae caulis decoction: test good against babs and bart (I took

it short term, about a week or so; it can be mixed with gardenia +

phellodendron decoction).

- Allicin from Wonderlabs (2), milder than frozen garlic;

- cardamon in powder in my tea (2-3 times a day),

- ledum homeopathic 200K once every 3 days or so, 3-4 globules each

time (tests against babs and borrelia) (it must have a 10 minute

interval from everything else, before and after intake).

- Pc-Noni was testing at that time at about 15-35 drops a day (I put

in a bottle and drank separately from cats claw; 2 times a day).

This is what did the trick this time. I'm not treating babesia since

about middle of August.

But I know it can still be hiding as ALL of my other coinfections

(and inclusive borrelia).

This IS a messy and long report! BAbesia was the most difficult

coinfection for me to get rid of this time. I'm still crossing

fingers for it not to come back as I HATE babesia!

Now it's end of the year, still didn't get a relapse, so I guess this

combo for me worked.... Sorry it looks too complicate, but as I told

you, babesia was the most difficult infection for me to get rid of...
