"Macrolide therapy of chronic Lyme Disease."

(Z-Pack is a macrolide antibiotic)

"MATERIAL/METHODS:

235 patients with a multi-symptom complex typical of chronic Lyme disease, ie fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and neurocognitive dysfunction and with serologic reactivity against B.burgdorferi were treated with a macrolide antibiotic (eg clarithromycin) and hydroxychloroquine.

"RESULTS:

Eighty % of patients had self-reported improvement of 50% or more at the end of 3 months. After 2 months of treatment, 20% of patients felt markedly improved (75-100% of normal); after 3 months of treatment, 45% were markedly improved. Improvement frequently did not begin until after several weeks of therapy. There were no differences among the three macrolide antibiotics used. Patients who had been on hydroxychloroquine or macrolide antibiotic alone had experienced little or no improvement. Compared to patients ill for less than 3 years, the onset of improvement was slower, and the failure rate higher in patients who were ill for longer time periods."

Yeah it seems at the very least this synergy increases drug distribution. Makes me think of Quinolone antibiotics, they are some of the strongest antibiotics and are used to treat hard to reach places like the prostate.

From what I've read Vitamin C is the best broad spectrum antiviral, but since Lyme is a bacteria I think this hydrochloride+antibiotic combination might be more effective.
