Update on dad with Lyme

A few weeks ago I asked this group for help on the Buhner protocol since my dad has Lyme's and I guess it is chronic.  Everyone helped out a lot so here is where I am currently at.

So I had a massage the other night and I was asking her if she knew any herbalists in the area, and it turns out that she is.  So we got to talking and she told me she had just given a presentation on herb oils and lyme disease.  She informed me that she works with a person that has worked at Essentia Health and studied Lyme's disease so there is some medical backing to what they are advertising.  Anyways she has 3 oils that you put into capsules and then take the pill.  She says by day 4 you should see a noticable improvement in brain fog and memory and possibly pain.  The oils are Frakencense, Oregano, and some 3rd one that is a combo.  Anyways that is where I am currently at with my dad.

Let us know how it works out. Hopefully it will bring about positive changes!

There used to be a lot of discussions over whether the essential oils were safe to take internally - I don't know what came of that, but it would be something I would check into.

Everyone has their "go to" remedy no matter what modality (type of treatment) we are talking about which may or may not work on the next person, so be careful there too - only buy a small amount - if you choose to - and see how it affects your dad. Be sure to start off with VERY small doses in case it doesn't agree with him.

There doesn't seem to be a consensus on what oils actually heal Lyme, so realize that it's like abx and herbs - there are a bunch of combinations that you could try and you will likely get varying results.

There also doesn't seem to be a consensus on what each essential oil helps with - so it could be that your dad will find it helps with something different than what you are told. I've read that Frankincense is for brain fog, muscle and joint issues and so on, so it's hard to know what it actually does. One site actually said that abx can't cross the blood brain barrier, so I would be careful to only use sites that have good solid information to base your information off of.

The one thing that I find very disheartening with many modalities is that many consider themselves to be healed, yet they have to continue to use their treatments once a month or so to stay asymptomatic. That's not healed in my book. Healed to me is not needing to do monthly or even twice a year treatments for Lyme or other infections. Needing to take really good care of my body is another thing though. So as you listen to/read these stories, always ask yourself - are they only controlling symptoms or are they really healed or are they just keeping things in check?

And after all of that - best of luck and let us know how your dad does on this if you choose to do it!!
