Re: does Rifampin work against protozoa?

Hi M99!

Thanks a lot for the good information.

WE have done quite a lot of tests for worms, intracellular bacteria, viruses, but only for a few protozoas.

I am completely checked for autoimmune and rheumatoid dissorders.

I had a positive antigen test for lamblia 2 times over a period of 2 years.

But lamblia was never found in several biopsies and stool.

That is why we think it could be a very similar pathogen which triggers the antigen response.

We really don t know which pathogen produces the ige reaction.

It all came after a trip to turkey in 2003. From one day to the other.

I have bartonella, chlamydia pneumoniae, enterovirus, lamblia,(all been treated)

My symptoms are permanent unformed stools, malaise, tachycardia etc.

Since I have also babesia specific symptoms we think it could be babs. (Air hunger, drenching night sweats, muscle pain)

What has helped me so far:

- Gatifloxacin (in the beginning ) good response
- Clindamycin (major herx then feeling much better)
- Metronidazole (feeling better under it)
- Atzi/Rifa/Tini (decreases IGE significantly)

Because of the unformed stools I am not sure if the gut is the target organ of infection ? I ve heard people having babesia - also have diarrhea.

And can worms also trigger diarrhea ?

Since I have never tried pratzi in a sufficient dose - this is our next plan.

After that maybee malarone or mepron with atzi.+ artemisisnin.

What tests would you consider?

And what single drug do you mean?

Yes I am from Germany/Hamburg.

Thank you very much in advance
