As I have said soo many times, what works for one doesn't mean it'll work for another, but yes, I will share what did work for me, as it just might work for someone else!
Remember, I have always had superior supportive care from my Practitioner - she supported my adrenal glands, thyroid, kidneys, liver, Lymph system, intestines, spleen, lungs, brain, nervous systems and even my sinuses and detoxing with acupuncture and herbs. I feel that this is critical in order for the body to heal. It's overwhelmed with trying to do it all, all by itself in my humble opinion.
After doing 6 months of nothing but detoxing and getting supportive care for my organs and body systems that were seriously struggling~
For my Lyme treatment, this is what worked for me: The 'Chronic Tonic" that can be found here:
w.mistymeadows.org/wendydocs/Lyme Disease.pdf My first three months of actual treatment was with this medicinal tea only.
For Bartonella - all I used was whole leaf Houttuynia made into a medicinal tea. We added this tea into my treatment routine and then continued to use both for another 6 months.
At that point I stopped both medicinal teas and we started working on the Babesia. This was a crazy disease for me to treat, as we tried all kinds of different things, with most of the info that we were following coming from Dr. James Schaller's site(
www.personalconsult.com/. Even though he doesn't use herbs, the info on his site was invaluable. We spent nearly a year treating the Babesia, and I'm not really sure what actually worked!
I started back on the Chronic Tonic for 2 weeks, when things in my life got incredibly stressful - some will remember this - when my FIL moved in with us.I was concerned with the amount of stress I was under and trying to keep up with treatments, so I stopped them. No one knew that my FIL only had another 3 months to live due to Alzheimers (or was it???), and the last two weeks, hubby and I barely slept 4 or 5 hours a day. A whole lot of stress! But I came through it with 'flying colors'!! After which I came to the conclusion of no more infections!!! None of my symptoms increased while off of all treatments, and it had been the perfect opportunity for them to come screaming back into my life - but they didn't.
I stopped all treatments 19 weeks ago - and I have more energy and less pain/debilitating issues now than I've ever had!
Remember though, the treatment that will work for you will be quite unique to you! Everyone needs a good practitioner, one that will actually listen to you as only you know your body as well as you do! Detoxing is key, as is a good healing 'environment' as little stress as possible, surrounding oneself with supportive people (or at least with no naysayers), and so is a good practitioner who will give you all the supportive care you may need.
I'm completely convinced that I'm leaving things out, but that's all my brain will allow for now!
I hope this helps someone!!!
