Re: Morgellons myth or ?

Many of the anti parasitics apply to morgellons. Ivermectin is the best antiparasitic for morgellons. The treatments for lyme and coinfections work well too. In particular the treatments for bartonella work better than the lyme treatments.

Dr. Savely says she has placed them in order of most effective to least effective and people should rotate through these. Each can be taken with or without an antihelminthic

Clarithromycin and DS sulfa with or without atovaquone
Doxycycline and rifampin with or without nitrozoxanide
Docycycline and ciprofloxacin with or without tinidazole

She says she gives anthelminthics for longer times than normally recognized by pharmacists and suggests people rotate through them one at a time until they are less effective. So after a couple of weeks move to the next one
She also uses metronidazole too. she has not found the cell wall Antibiotics (I.e., penicilins and cephalosporins) as effective for MD as it is for lyme.

Along with antibitiotics she gives adjunctive treatments like BLt Microbial Balancer by Researched Nutritionals
She also uses herbs that target bartonella as she finds they are helpful for MD
Eg. Sida acuta tincure, hawthorne tincture, houttuynia powder and EGCg green tea extract

She uses 5 different Beyond balance tinctures for those who cannot take Antibiotics : But she usually gives them along with Antibiotics because she has found it is a rare person who does not need both.
