While we do not know the fatality rate of Babesia infections, mortality is not routine or as common as malaria. In our peer-less self-funded millions in research in seven textbooks, we have learned an immense amount of things that are recent “discoveries” we published in 2006–2009. And below are sample beliefs posted that are incorrect. [Many of these Babesia books are #1 on the topic].
Sample Errors in Need of Revision:
Mepron (atovaquone) at typical recommended doses such as 5 mls twice a day largely fails based on our large volume blood smear analysis that appears to be unique research. We did find that 10-15 mls twice a day did lower Babesia in blood smears. Yet typical doctors treating this infection have usually not read our authoritative unique research on this higher dosing.
Yet starting low at 5 mls a day, and then 5 mls twice a day in the first days or week is wise.

Malarone (atovaquone/proguanil) is an unusual malaria medication. #hen the first ingredient atovaquone is a solid tablet it may treat malaria but not babesia. I use for two second ingredient proguanil up to 3 tablets twice a day with food. I have used this dose for about twenty years without any signs of toxicity or organ harm. In serial blood smears we were unable to test the effectiveness of this treatment alone.
——————————
Azithromycin or Zithromax had no effect on babesia alone until 2,000 mg. We were quite surprised at the need of this high dose partly because the one expert with wide influence assures us 250 mg twice a day for 14 days (with atovaquone yellow liquid) is fully curative. Maybe we have different types of patients. Maybe they have not spent millions to test with certainty. Maybe they are treating more vulnerable strains of babesia.

Japanese knotweed is proposed as a treatment and may have a role for profoundly sensitive patients. But from my experience on top nutrition company boards, the standardized herb is much more expensive and potent. That would be resveratrol. And the most effective form is the “trans” form. So, we suggest you use transresveratrol and Toniiq is one of a number of quality brands, To know what this does alone, we have seen most herbs require very high dosing. Most herbal physicians or naturopaths prefer multiple herbs. Our struggle is trying to have high dosing of multiple herbs and yet avoiding pill fatigue. Right?

Artesunate is one of our most aggressive researched derivatives and according to a top emerging medicine top international herbalist, our artemisia textbook and its derivatives is a gift to humanity. He is now in my will. 🙂 Simply, this is quite effective with other treatments. We did see killing in blood smears. Again, we do not think one treatment can typically cure. We have the #1 book on all artemisia derivatives available on amazon.com and is translated into many languages.

Artemisinin is a useful starting artemisia semisynthetic option for very sensitive patients. If one starts with 1/3–1/2 of a capsule and increases to six a day divided with food, and you feel nothing, transition to artesunate that is 1,000 USD for a mere 100 mg IV in the USA. People import or live in countries with access to the tablets. IV artesunate into healthy veins is fine but using once a week is helpful but only 5–15% of the dose and frequency that we found is most effective. We use about 150 mg to 250 mg a day but some can tolerate 500 mg a day.

Cryptolepis and Chinese skullcap can be useful. See our Herbs and Essential Oils for Killing Lyme disease, Babesia and Bartonella, which comes from pure research. Our research or the research published in PubMed.
Tafenoquine or Arakoda was taught excitedly in our definitive 2006 Babesia textbook. We start with 1/4-1/2 a week but do go as high as 500 mg a week divided over a week. Since this is the only new malaria drug in 60 years and it lasts a week, killing effectively malaria babies, we only see in 1/14 pharmacies have this medicine.
—————————-
Methylene blue is a drug in use for over a century. It has many uses and was used for malaria. But it is not presently used routinely to kill malaria for over 34 years. My sense is if it was effective in past decades, it would not have been replaced.
