Your book has become my bible, as I frequently refer to it. My practitioner told me about this new treatment for babesia symptoms. I am currently taking artemisinin and plaquenil. This combination, along with clarithromycin seems to be helping, however can you tell me if cryptolepis is more effective?
That combination is a good one. My favorite right now for babesia is a combination formula of cryptolepis, sida acuta, and alchornea cordifolia (woodlandessence.com) ¼ tsp 3-4x daily. Babesia, like lyme, is variable in its responses to treatment. Every herb or pharmaceutical is sometimes more effective than others.
Is that 1/4 teaspoon of each of the three herbs? Like 60 drops? Love
There’s actually a combination formula, called C.S.A. formula, on the woodland essence website.

Don’t have personal experience with it, but I would love to hear from others.
And from Stephen, I’d love to know how frequently that helps with babesia and Lyme, if done along with . does it improve the odds by 20%, 50%, 70%?
I am very ill. Just got back Igenex tests positive for Babesia and Lyme, I believe I also suffer from Bart, may be all exacerbated by long-term mold exposure in my old building.
I plan on following the Buhner herbs, I have already started on the core lyme protocol with some of the additions, people say I look better, but I have been sick longer than a decade and still feel terrible, everything from neuro and eye, to pain and weakness, insomnia, and a diagnosis of dercum’s disease likely caused by lyme inflammation stress, everything.
I will add the Babesia herbs soon as well. I plan on updating this site and others with any progress I make or not.
I am in Vermont and looking for a specialist in Babesia/Lyme, no confirmed hits yet. Any passersby who have a suggestion let me know.
