Option 3: Buy the treatment through mail order or online and import it without your local health system support

We detail here typical regulations, using the French example. They authorize import of medicines subject to the following conditions, detailed on the site of ANSM and defined by’Article L5124-13 of the Public Health Code:

Transport in luggage

Individuals can import a drug in a quantity consistent with personal therapeutic use for a treatment period; not exceeding three months in normal use or for the period provided for by the prescription.

An import permit is not required if the individual personally transports the drug. In this case a prescription is not required.

Transport by express or postal freight

The importation of a drug by express or postal freight does not require a permit if :

  • the drug is authorized by (AMM) or registered (some homeopathic medicines and traditional herbal medicines) in a State party to the EEA Agreement
  • the product is authorized in the originating country (therefore outside the EEA) and the individual files with the Customs Service a copy of the prescription certifying that the drug is intended for treatment prescribed by a doctor established in that country.

So there are two possibilities: buy with or without a prescription from a doctor of the foreign country where the bacteriophagic originates.

Buy a bacteriophagic without a prescription of the originating foreign country

The main risk is that the bacteriophage purchased online or by phone gets stuck at the customs. In practice this does not seem to occur.

You can always try to negotiate in advance with the foreign supplier that he agrees to reimburse in case the product is blocked, or resend it no charge with a different shipping mean. A supplier familiar with shipments abroad shall generally give this guarantee for two reasons: First he knows how to send the package to maximize chance to reach destination, and so he knows that he takes little risk; second he knows that this guarantee is necessary to reassure the buyer.

There remains to find a doctor to follow you.

Buy a bacteriophagic with a prescription of the originating foreign country



The difficulty is to find a doctor of the origin country who speaks your language and who agrees over the phone to make a prescription for a phagic .

Once the prescription is received, it must be sent to the shipper of the phagic who will include it in the package, for customs clearance.

Even with the prescription attached to the parcel, it can still be blocked if customs decides by lack of know-how. In fact packages even without prescription seem to pass through customs without incident.

You can always try to negotiate in advance with the foreign supplier that he agrees to reimburse in case the product is blocked, or to resend it in another way. A supplier familiar with shipments abroad shall generally give this guarantee for two reasons: First he knows how to send the package to maximize chance to reach destination, and so he knows that he takes little risk; second he knows that this guarantee is necessary to reassure the buyer.

More information on the purchase of bacteriophages can be found on the page Where can I buy bacteriophages?

Another option is to address the Phage Therapy Center Tbilisi, clinic who agrees to treat correspondence and provide the phage, if necessary with tailored phages.

If in doubt, You can also contact the association AVIBEP who can advise.

    Bjr à tous,
    voici mon témoignage avéré concernant, depuis plus de 2 years old, mes souffrances d’un staph doré cutané invasif. tous les traitements soit disant classiques français ont été totalement inefficaces, y compris en milieu hospitalier. j’ai souffert le martyr avec des plaques cutanées purulentes sur tout le corps, avec des démangeaisons au sang terribles.

    Suite à de nombreuses recherches et témoignages de collègues ayant connus la même chose, je suis rentré en contact avec l’assoc AVIBEP et là, le presque miracle : j’ai pu bénéficier dun flacon 100ml de staphylo-phages russes de la marqueMikrogen”, en plus périmé depuis 2021, qui, en l’espace de 2 weeks, à fait disparaître 90/100 de ma problématique.
    Afin de terminer l’extinction de cettesaloperiej’ai commandé un traitement géorgien complet à venir dans les jours qui suives en suivant la méthode indiquée sur Europhages: http://europhages.com/ou-acheter-des-bacteriophages.

    Le traitement par phages russes a marché réellement et de façon spectaculaire, et je commence à revivre. Il ne me reste plus qu’à traiter le dessus de mes pieds avec des ampoules voie orale et cutanée ainsi que des pommades ciblées.

    je tiens à remercier Europhages pour les infos ainsi que la correspondante géorgienne formidable; je vous laisse le soin de contacter l’assoc pour tout renseignements complémentaires.

    Thank you, du fond du coeur, olivier.

    Hello,

    Here is my experience.

    We live in Belgium.

    My son has cystic fibrosis and antibiotic resistant bacteria.

    Thanks to AVIBEP, I contacted the Reine Astrid military hospital which is located in 5 km from home.

    Analysis of my son's sputum revealed that the phages in this lab do not know how to fight his bacteria. Indeed this lab does not have a sufficiently large sample of phages.

    I then sent a sputum to Eliava in Georgia. Their report explains that there are phages that can help my son.

    This is my experience so far.

      Hello! I also live in Belgium. Tell, Please, eventually in Georgia (Eliava) ordered? how fast it came? Or they prepared a custom phage for you based on your situation? Thank you

    • She says:

      I will rewrite the comment - very incomprehensible tech
      You booked moments in Eliava? We walked for a long time? It was a custom phage?
      After that, somewhere conditionally in stock bought from
      Also in Belgium and the price with delivery of course kills ....

    • She says:

      Tell, Please, to whom in Belgium (Ideally Brussels) you can apply for a phage sensitivity test and get a prescription

    Hello,
    I want to share my experience in order to maybe help :
    I have a respiratory tract infection from Staphylococcus aureus caught in Australia at work. I had middle ear infections and my throat was getting more and more itchy (the infection was even starting to reach my digestive system). I have been to the doctor many times and as far as the Institut Pasteur, but repeatedly the doctors made the wrong diagnosis. Finally a biological analysis confirmed that I had an S. golden. The antibiotics didn't work at all then I found a classic probiotic that has some measure of effectiveness. Towards March / April 2021 I ordered anti-Staph phages on Apteka Pro (I recommend them they are honest). The order was sent to me by post with a link to follow the progress of the package (the package remained at Russian customs for a while but finally continued on its way).
    I left on 2 boxes (2*80mL) so the first day : 40mL in the morning on an empty stomach then 40 mL before going to bed : I drank the solution and then lay down to prevent everything from going down into my stomach too quickly. Then 20mL morning and evening so the treatment lasted 3 days in all. I felt a clear efficiency quite quickly. After treatment, the. gold is still there but there are a lot less, I breathe much better and my voice is clearer. although the pathogen has not yet been eradicated. I will continue with the bacteriophages as soon as possible and hope to eradicate the S. golden soon.
    Hoping to help
    Thomas

    • Europhages says:

      If you were in Russia or Georgia, you would probably be treated for 2-3 weeks with one box per day divided between oral and inhalation route, then one box every other day for 2 other weeks. Everywhere for oral administration it is recommended to take an anti-acid such as Vichy water, baking soda + possibly omeprazole-type drug (to do with your doctor). Finally, Georgian phages are not necessarily the same as the Russians. Please feel free to post a message here. Thank you. EP

    Hello, I have P. aeruginosa and unfortunately eventration I already had a prosthesis that the PYO rejected so I am very interested in phage therapy. French doctors are refractory to this treatment, I have read many articles and I see one finally appropriate treatment for my disease, can you give me the coordinates to acquire treatment. Thank you

      P. Aeruginosas phages can be purchased online as indicated here: http://europhages.com/ou-acheter-des-bacteriophages/ 2 active links are provided.
      Phages do not always work on P. Aeruginosa.

      According to d’Herelle, it is important to attack bacteria with a massive dose from the start. Hope this can help. Please post your result after treatment if you get phage treatment. Thank you.

    Hello , or we can make a susceptibility to know the right pages to take ?
    thank you

    • Europhages says:

      You must first identify the germ that you want to rid yourself by having a susceptibility. Then you must purchase a bottle of appropriate phage to the bacteria identified in the susceptibility.

      Some foreign sites sell phages (see article “Where can I buy bacteriophages”). A priori it is better to obtain the most specific bacteriophage cocktail bacteria, rather than a more general type bacteriophage pyobactériophage.

      You then ask your analysis laboratory to test on your germs efficiency bought bacteriophage. Technically any lab can do it if you provide the bacteriophage.
