In our November 2023 book summarizing the research, not impressions, on what essential oils and herbs kill Lyme disease, Bartonella and Babesia. In this easy-to-use book, we mention the use of garlic essential oils to kill Babesia. Here let us add some information to this comment.
ZHANG GARLIC STUDY KEY POINTS
- He rejects the standard one size fits all or yellow paint atovaquone and azithromycin as a perfect cure. He writes: “current therapeutic regimens (atovaquone + azithromycin) for human babesiosis are suboptimal with frequent recrudescence and side effects.
- Zhang feels that Babesia species like human duncani need research to establish human treatment. He rejects the common approach of treating all human species with the same simplistic treatment. (See my many YOUTUBE videos on our exciting research on all major babesia treatments).
- He studied 97 essential oils against Babesia and says: “[a] low concentration[s] [of essential oils] showed good inhibitory activity against B. duncani in the hamster red blood cell culture model. Among them, garlic oil and black pepper oil performed best.” Please note this was done in hamsters, but this is better than a test tube.
