It is confusing that most physicians and researchers do not read our work, and repeatedly “discover” our conclusions many years later]. **In contrast, […]

As the author of the 2008 #1 best-selling international hematology book that is the only blood study guide helping microbiologists and pathology experts to identify babesia, I would like to share some balanced pearls of my seven books and 26 years working with this single-celled parasite. First. 49/50 of my positive babesia patients have a negative FISH.

In my seven Babesia texts we try to show the complexity of killing this single-celled parasite–Babesia. For example, routine proposed public treatments fail. And we wanted to believe they were useful, but typically one needs very large doses. We used blood smears examined by a highly skilled microbiologist with pathology training. High doses of two

When we wrote the massive 2006 definitive text on Babesia, we talked about tafenoquine and even gave its research ID. So, it is nice that almost two decades later it is being promoted. The bottom line: The only new malaria drug in 60 years–so it is usually out of stock. It kills malaria for approximately
