Read the FAQs which also discusses the probability of antibiotics vs herbal therapy.
Please see the table below comparing prescription drugs frequently discusses by these two doctors:
| Infection | Dr. Marty Ross | Dr. Richard Horowitz |
|---|---|---|
| Lyme (Borrelia) | Doxycycline + Tinidazole (combined regimen targeting growing, cystic, and intracellular forms) | Standard: Doxycycline. Persister/biofilm phase: Double-Dose Dapsone Combination Therapy (dapsone 100mg twice daily) + rifampin + a tetracycline (doxycycline or minocycline), sometimes with azithromycin added |
| Bartonella | Clarithromycin + Rifampin (primary combo). Alternative: Methylene blue + Fluconazole or Itraconazole (noted as most effective for Bartonella-related brain fog) | Doxycycline/Rifampin or Azithromycin (Zithromax)/Rifampin as base combo. For resistant cases: adds dapsone, extra methylene blue, and pyrazinamide to the doxycycline/rifampin/azithromycin combination |
| Babesia | Clarithromycin + Atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone). Alternative tiers: Atovaquone-proguanil alone, or Clindamycin + quinine sulfate | Not detailed with the same specificity in his public materials as his Lyme/Bartonella protocols — emphasizes that active Babesia (and Bartonella) must be resolved before his dapsone protocol will work, but doesn’t publish a distinct Babesia drug regimen the way Ross does |
