Dapsone Treatment

Dapsone is an old antibiotic circa 1945 and is listed as an essential medicine by the World Health Organization. It belongs to the sulfa drugs and is used to treat Leprosy both orally and topically.

Dapsone is contraindicated in patients with G6PD deficiency because it can cause a breakdown of red blood cells. It also can cause anemia, liver inflammation, and methemoglobinemia where carbon dioxide builds up in the blood.

Dr. Horowitz has been using Dapsone combination therapy in Tick Borne disease patients with great success and is able to place some patients into a remission. The protocol is fairly rigorous and requires strict adherence to taking other medication such as Methylene Blue, Doxycycline, Plaquenil, and nutritional supplements to support RBC’s and folate.

Dr. Marra is using Dapsone for patients with Lyme, Babesiosis, and Bartonella in a precision medicine fashion. She uses a highly personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you that targets the bacterial persister cells and the biofilm which both act as barriers to healing.

This protocol requires certain labs and frequent weekly blood work that is MANDATORY and nonnegotiable.

A Dapsone integrated medicine protocol designed specifically for you to possibly enter remission.
