Using Traditional Chinese treatments, rather than every botanical used in integrative Lyme/Babesia practice, the list becomes considerably shorter.

The strongest evidence for malaria is dramatically different from that for the tick-borne infections: artemisinin is a genuine pharmaceutical breakthrough derived from a TCM plant and has extensive human antimalarial evidence.
WE PROVED WITH SELF-FUNDED RESEARCH ARTEMISININ HAS SLIGHT OR ZERO BABESIA HELP IN HUMANS.
WE ACCEPT IT TREATS MALARIA.
For Babesia, the evidence is primarily preclinical and species dependent. NO. WE PROVED POOR BABESIA HELP IN HUMANS WHO WERE TREATMENT FAILURES IN EXTENSIVE 20-YEAR-OLD RESEARCH.
For Borrelia, several botanical extracts have impressive in-vitro [LAB] activity, but this does not establish human eradication. Some lab work applies to the mammal body. Per Monica Embers, at other times the lab and mammal results are unrelated. I use lab science to consider an option, the time in use in a country, were basic health lab tests done while in use in last 40 years. Do veteran clinicians see an A/B/A/B trial?
Simply, one treatment offers (A) better health, off it (B), a decrease in function, and on again (A) that heals. I do this when two herbs are started at effective doses the same day, and a headache, fatigue, or irritability. We have them alternate two herbs and we see the herb and dose that bothers.
For Bartonella, the Cryptolepis/Juglans/Polygonum findings are striking laboratory results, but again they are not human clinical proof. Use in humans does result in non-side-effect impact. Including healing effects over a long-time at a strong dose.
For syphilis, I would not claim that any TCM herb has been demonstrated to eradicate Treponema pallidum in humans based on the evidence I could verify. This is stunning that an ancient borrelia has no researched treatment. Is this from a lack of research money?
