Hi, I'm just wondering about self treatment options for Lyme disease...
My mom has had Lyme disease for sometime now. She is bedridden.
I've done some other posts here in the forum, but we are trying to explore
different options to see what the best treatment would be.

There are some choices when going the natural route.
Here are a few of the ones I've heard of:

1. Chronic Tonic - a blend of herbs - you make a tea daily and drink throughout the day. Our veteran Moderator, Traveler used this to heal herself from lyme twice.

2. Buhner's protocol - He sells a book on how to treat...but also has his protocol on his website.

Here is his website:

3. Cowden protocol - I don't know much about this one:

Thanks for your reply!! =) We will look into some of these!
My mom is right now taking a supplement called Lyme Immune System by Bell Lifestyle products #72, but she doesn't seem to be having any results or little to no results. However she is eating pureed foods again while before she was fed by peg tube.

Massive Corporations will do anything to make a buck... even creating false/fake reviews.
When someone is willing to tell you what it is... And... how you can make it yourself
(because they care about folks that don't have alot of money) ...

That is who i will lean towards... there are videos on Youtube i know about Buhner and
Dr J... and have watched a few others as well... and i read comments and reviews to
see how people do on different herbals/protocols.

Here is also a good site for alot of info on Lyme & Co...articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/07/26/under-our-skin-lyme-disease.aspx

*You can put topics in the search bar on this forum... and get a list of threads related to
symptoms,meds,etc...

*You can always ask questions here about any product that you may be considering...
chances are pretty good that someone may have had experience with it.

*A few other items that may help when you are choosing a product...

Hey Adam,

Another herbal, non toxic, natural protocol is the (one not allowed to be mentioned on this forum)


We've made a lot of progress on this....especially me. I wasn't bed bound like your mom, but, I was mentally "done"...ready to give up and overwhelmed by the easiest tasks.... and physically very very weak. I was dx with ms 14 years ago, but have had health issues most of my life. I realized I'm dealing with LD about 4 years ago.... I've been on this healing path awhile...I know how hard it is to get rid of this stuff! But it's possible....I'm doing it and much stronger, balanced and seeing a light at the end of a long and twisted tunnel.....

Good luck to you, I know the protocol is a lot to read...but I can tell you, I appreciated all the links and information as I went thru treatment. Everything is there...the herbs and such to erridacte the infections, the supplements/herbs to help support the organs/body...detox methods...dosing for all of it....

Let me know if you have questions...

I just looked up the ingredients for the Lyme immune product that you said your Mom is using:
" Cat’s claw extract 10:1 (Uncaria tomentosa) (bark) 150 mg, Maitake mushroom extract 8:1 (Grifola frondosa) (whole) 145 mg, Red marine algae (Lithothamnium calcareum) (whole) 120 mg, Goldenseal extract 10:1 (Hydrastis canadensis) (root) 100 mg, Wood betony extract 10:1 (Stachys officinalis) (leaf) 100 mg, Passionflower extract 10:1 (Passiflora incarnata) (herb) 90 mg, Bunge’s prickly ash extract 10:1 (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) (whole) 60 mg."

There's only one herb that is abx for Lyme is the problem. She needs a multi herb approach if she is to use herbs.

Buhner says that if a person is going to try starting treatment with just one herb to try Japanese Knotweed:

Traveler, every time you edit my posts and say that it reminds me of Voldemort in Harry Potter. Not sure if you read those books, but they always referred him to "he who shall not be named"....

Just kinda funny! Like I should call this protocol "the protocol that shall not be named" lol

I'm glad you are finding humor in this, Candleinthewind - really. I like the idea that you are still willing to post - we just don't need the headaches that come with mentioning that protocol on this forum.

I really do appreciate you.

Thanks, I didn't know that about Bell Lifestyle Products!

Maybe you could add Japanese Knotweed to the product your mom is using already.

If you do, start very low and increase very slowly.

You can get capsules at Green Dragon Botanicals (go to their website)

You can get tinctures from Woodland Essence or Sage Woman Herbs (check out their website)

All of the above are recommended sources by Buhner. (Buhner protocol for lyme)
