Amoxicillin is often used for streptococcus infections, and if you had streptococcus that was resistant to amoxicillin due to beta-lactamase then clavulanate could overcome that....
Clavulanate inhibits a bacterial enzyme that breaks down amoxicillin. Borrelia burgdorferi does not have such an enzyme so it really makes no difference. I took amoxicillin with and without...
I treated bartonella mainly with minocycline, and a few other things. I don't know if that would work for you. No experience with the mushrooms the name of which is banned on the forum. lol....
Sounds like bartonella. Bartonella was eating up all my protein, I felt like I was starving despite eating huge amounts of food. I gained more than 50 pounds but my protein was so low I was getting...
I had PCR tests for babesia and it was repeatedly negative. However, I found that taking a combination of atovaquone, artemisinin, and clarithromycin caused a significant herx which I suspect was due...
I have ordered from inhousepharmacy.vu They have been mostly reliable, but over the past few months, the mail has been increasingly slow....
My eyes itched for weeks after I got covid. The virus was definitely still there, and would relapse when I stopped the meds. Prolonged antiviral treatment (4-6 weeks of atovaquone) got rid of it,...
Well, yes it's prescription, but there's always InHousePharmacy and AllDayChemist. The adrenal problem for me resulted in slightly low cortisol which wasn't apparent on the blood tests as the normal...
I never had ropeworms, but I got this smell from bartonella. Bartonella is known to catabolise amino acids, and I assume that the smell is methanethiol or dimethyl sulfide derived from cysteine....
Kill bartonella, also treat the adrenal problem with hydrocortisone and LDN. Bart really messed up my stomach....
I couldn't tolerate it and stopped the dsf after a few weeks. It caused a lot of psych issues, cyclothymia and messed up sleep. The effects went away pretty quickly once I stopped the dsf....
DSF caused me all kinds of neuro issues, including weird dreams....
I'm not sure exactly what causes the cloudy urine. It's not dark yellow like bilirubin. I'm guessing it's components of the biofilm or dead bacteria....
Most of my skin issues were from bartonella. Bartonella is resistant to a lot of antibiotics, and the antibiotics that do not kill it can disturb the dormant bacteria enough that it comes out and...
Of course. I don't know if it's any more dangerous, since I got over it, but one problem was that my immune system did not produce any antibodies to COVID, or I lost them quickly (tested negative)....
It's not just your CYP3A4 enzyme, but susceptibility to vitamin D upregulating the PXR pathway, which affects several enzymes. There is likely significant genetic variation in this, with some people...
I have gotten this reaction to vitamin D. Excessive vitamin D upregulates CYP3A4, destroying cortisol and causing this adrenal stress....
Did you actually get COVID, or are you just depressed about the situation in general? COVID made my skin peel, and this went on for several weeks even after the other symptoms resolved. Skin peeling...
I'd be skeptical of the disappearing antibodies, as it suggest your immune system is overloaded and just not producing antibodies. I have specifically had this problem with COVID-19, where I can not...
Mepron and Biaxin made me herx quite a lot. The combination seemed more effective than either alone. It caused a lot of bilirubin, so I couldn't tell if it was killing bartonella or babesia. I herxed...
- Yellow paint (mepron) - Orange piss (rifampin) - Blue piss (methylene blue) - Cat piss (smell of bartonella)...
I did eventually get a positive PCR test for bartonella henselae after several false negatives, but initially it was a clinical diagnosis. Antibody test was negative. I had prior exposure to cats,...
Killing the bartonella with minocycline worked. Of course this took months, and it smelled a lot worse during the herx....
It smells like cat piss and also like asparagus....
atovaquone and ivermectin...
I know from experience that bartonella smells awful. Not just bad breath, I smelled all over, the smell got on my clothes, and the bathroom smelled after I used it....
If the free health care was so great, why did you pay to go to a doctor in Washington DC?...
KEGG (www.genome.jp) identified genes in bartonella henselae associated with B6 synthesis. I don't know if this has been confirmed in vitro or in vivo. Borrelia does not have these genes. Plasmodium...
It's not just the gut bacteria though. Bartonella henselae also destroys tryptophan and other amino acids, and also produces vitamin B6. Usually people infected with bartonella are not deficient in...
C. Diff is a problem if you take an antibiotic that it is resistant to, but other gut bacteria are not, eg amoxicillin. C. Diff isn't resistant to everything, and it's often vulnerable to dapsone,...
Minocycline does seem to reduce the herx, but I'm starting to wonder if this is preventing my immune system from clearing the infections. I suspect it may be counterproductive....
I am wondering if anyone else has had problems with the immunosuppressive effect of minocycline. When I take minocycline I suddenly stop herxing. After a day or so it wears off and then I herx. It is...
Anti-fungals and some anti-malarials will kill yeast. Possibly also tetracyclines in some cases. Beta-lactams (eg amoxicillin) generally won't....
I don't seem to have any long term effects, but I tested negative for antibodies, and this is the second time I've gotten infected. It's not exactly surprising that I got no antibodies, as I also...
The virus is extremely contagious. I don't know exactly where I got it. I didn't have any close contact with anyone that I knew was sick, but I had been to several stores and take-out restaurants. I...
It's a mixture. He says that some of the early polio vaccines were faulty and contained live virus and people got sick. This is true. Early polio vaccines were contaminated with SV40 and other...
It's not used in the vaccine, it's used to test for contamination. The blood contains a substance that reacts with bacteria. A sample from each batch is tested with crab blood, and if there is a...
https://requestatest.com/carnitine-blood-test Carnitine synthesis requires vitamin C and iron, so carnitine deficiency can be a sign of deficiencies of these. If your vitamin C, B12, homocysteine,...
Possibly. Cortisol is variable enough that I found that my cortisol would often test in the normal range even when my adrenals were acting up. What would happen is that my blood sugar would get...
LOL, yeah. Xylitol gave me more diarrhea than some antibiotics....
Ivermectin and atovaquone, primarily. Possibly doxycycline and other abx (though I'm a bit wary of the immunosuppressive effect of tetracyclines). Dr. H really likes glutathione. Most people here...
It covers a pretty wide range of topics. He talks about the history of his clinic and his prior work with HIV. He says he plans to open a clinic in Ireland. Talks about the prognosis for patients,...
Reading though that facebook group, it is quite clear that these people do not have access to reasonable healthcare. Unfortunately none of the messages even suggest how to go about finding a...

I read some of that. When I went back the next day to look for followups, I noticed that many of the posts were missing. Whenever someone posted about getting better the moderators would delete it....
Do you have low protein? I got that from bartonella....
Minocycline was the only thing that really worked against bartonella for me. It was resistant to clarithromycin and rifampin (I didn't try rifabutin). Although clarithromycin alone did not work...
Lyme doesn't like heat. I found that on very hot days, or the day after, I would herx....
It doesn't work well for everyone. The mechanism of action is dependent on pH and the amount of zinc available, and this is quite variable. Additionally, it is immunosuppressive and this can be a...
