To answer your questions: I didn't get help drinking it either. Never tried the homeopathic drops. Seems the injections should have been the best way. My diet is okay. Was pretty pure. I did try the salt/ Vit C too. Never stuck with it more than a few months. It's hard on your system. About Protazoas. Most people with Lyme have Babesia which is a protozoa like Malaria. i was treated for this. Been at this 12 or so years. WIsh I could find something to put it all together.
