Re: Schardt Lyme treatment update

Check your references here- I think you're incorrect on Zith's

metabolism. It's not metabolised thru the enzymatic P540 system- I

think it's the biliary system that metabolizes it- unlike it's

predecessor erythromysin that does go thru the P450.

One further thought - I have always responded well to Zithromax which

is processed through the liver via the P450 pathway. Diflucan is also

processed through P450. The theory behind why it works on borrelia is

that borrelia uses a P450 enzyme to reproduce or something?? - this

makes me think that both Zithromax and now Diflucan may be the best

thing for me to take NOT TOGETHER. This may also explain why I do so

well on Zithromax even though theoretically it is not the best

antibiotic for borrelia.

Anyway, I plan to continue the Schardt protocol. I feel bad enough

these 25 days that I actually may be herxing which I never did on

Zithromax. Of course, it may just be the continuation of whatever

started seven months ago when I developed the headache and vertigo.

No one knows.

BArb, you may be right. I don't think I ever knew and always depended

on folks like yourself to tell me the esoteric details. But if

Zithromax isn't processed through the P450 liver pathway then why

can't you take Zithromax and Diflucan together. My doc made a big

deal yesterday commenting on this. I'm not even sure how to look up

this to answer your question. Duh!

Off hand- I don't know why - you'd have to ask him

(or research Diflucan) I'm sure he has a reason.

Hi Barb,

I have no connection with Schardt. He is German. My local doctor who

prescribed the Diflucan told me that Zithromax is one of several drugs

that cannot be taken with Diflucan because of the stress on the liver.

I'll see if I can look this up when I get time.
