It's an RNA test approved by the New York State Department of Health.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
37:24
I give her at the time Mepron, Azithromax, Atovaquone, and Azithromycin, which worked basically 30 years ago.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
37:31
And within weeks following, she had enough strength to get out of the wheelchair, start walking.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
37:36
The woman is now skiing down mountains and is basically much better.
BearHOST
1:26
I wouldn't treat it with kid gloves.
BearHOST
1:28
Yeah, I'd actually treat it with Zithromycin and cough suppressants like Tesla on pearls and a whole shit ton of hot toddies because they're in honey and some whiskey.
BearHOST
1:43
So I'll make gummy bear.
AlyssaHOST
1:48

Cool.
BearHOST
35:06
Let me go to the shelf.
BearHOST
35:07
Look, Zithromycin handled next.
BearHOST
35:12
So France.
ZejaHOST
16:52
But the body of the progress note is gonna focus on, okay, what actually happened since that note? I've already given context in that first line.
ZejaHOST
17:00
And then my next line is gonna be, was started on Rocephin and Azithromycin and continues on this.
ZejaHOST
17:07
So I'm addressing what are we doing about that issue we identified in line one.
ZejaHOST
17:12
And then the next line is gonna be subjectively how the patient feels.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
4:28
It's positive.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
4:29
I give her Mepron and Zithromax, which I published at the conference the year before.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
4:33
And lo and behold, she starts walking out of a wheelchair after five years.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
4:36
And she was on five years of antibiotics for chronic Lyme.

Richard HorowitzGUEST
40:59
We added rifampin to doxy and dapsone.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
41:02
It lowered the biofilm persisters even more.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
41:04
We added Zithromax.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
41:05
So I came up with it because we found this four drug regimen.
Holley MillerGUEST
21:57
They start to feel better and they save it for a rainy day, right? They save it in case they need something else.
Holley MillerGUEST
22:03
And so even though biaxin was more efficacious in a test against Zithromax, The doctor said, well, really, no one's taking Biaxon for the full prescription.
Holley MillerGUEST
22:16
And so really, is it that much more effective than Zithromax? And so they came to market and the doctor said, well, I don't really care that much about the efficacy.
Holley MillerGUEST
22:27
It's probably a point of parody, but it has less pills you take.
Samir GondaliaHOST
22:33
And
Holley MillerGUEST
24:25
The doctors liked it because it was easier to write a prescription.
Holley MillerGUEST
24:28
And the moms and dads liked it because it was easier for the kids to take.
Holley MillerGUEST
24:31
And so they reversed their position in the market, which was 1 to 4, meaning Baxam was winning 4 to 1 over Zithromax.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
8:32
So one of the treatments that I've received over the years was an antibiotic that's in the Z-Pak.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
8:37
It's the azithromycin.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
8:39
And azithromycin does cover partially Babesia.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
8:43
But what I've learned, having been involved in ILADS and learning from brilliant people like Dr. Henry Linder and others, you know, founding members of ILADS and from the literature, it's that once Babesia becomes chronic, it can be very challenging to get rid of it.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
8:59
And when you take the treatment away, especially if you become ill with something like COVID, which for many people could be immunosuppressive and let other infections rise up again, you know, you catch COVID, it harms your immune system effectively.

Nikki SchultekGUEST

And that is the other hat that I wear.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
26:02
So my group, we have a study actually of 3,200 patients that can be enrolled and some of those patients will receive antibiotics for your asthma.
Nikki SchultekGUEST
26:15
Now, interestingly, it's the same antibiotic that I was talking about before, the Z-Pak antibiotic, azithromycin.
Teresa HollerGUEST
34:37
It does not work on stationary phase.
Teresa HollerGUEST
34:39
Azithromycin does not work on stationary phase.
Teresa HollerGUEST
34:41

Okay.

Macrolides are a classic class that work by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, effectively shutting down the bacteria's ability to synthesize proteins.
speaker_4HOST
15:11
Azithromycin was our first generation.
speaker_3HOST
15:13
Right.
speaker_4HOST
15:13
It worked well, but had stability issues in stomach acid, so we tweaked the structure to create the second generation, clarithromycin, which was far more stable.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
27:06
We knew that it went inside the cells.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
27:08
That's where Zithromax and Doxy goes.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
27:10
And we knew it had what's called round body forms, cell wall deficient forms, L-forms, S-forms, cystic forms.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
27:16
That was where Plaquenil, grapefruit seed extract, Flagyl, Tenidazole worked.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
7:00
She'd been on five years of antibiotics, by the way, with a great Lyme literate doctor, but still couldn't walk out of the wheelchair.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
7:06
I gave her 10 days of Mepron and Zithromax, which at the time was the standard treatment for Babesia.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
7:12
And lo and behold, she got stronger.
Richard HorowitzGUEST
7:13
She ended up being able to lift herself out of a wheelchair.
