Hello everyone,

I have been in treatment for the last 2 months and have noticed very little if any improvement so far. To say I am frustrated is being nice. I do realize it is a marathon but i was hoping to see some improvments.

I am considering adding herbs and other non traditional methods to my healing process. There is a dr who specializes in acupuncture and chinese medicine in my city. She has actually had lyme herself, so her practice is geared towards lyme.

What are everyone's experiences in combining herbs and acupuncture to help healing? Is it worth it?

Thank you,

I don't mean to be rude but 2 months is not a long time at all in healing lyme.

HI, I went to a TCM for my treatment. I am not fully cured, but I have had many improvements sense I started seeing him in November of 2014. He started me on abx. Mino for a month, then Flagel for 10 days then another one like mino for another 30 days. then he switched to herbs. He makes me a tea with 4-8 different Chinese herbs every month. I have to drink it 2 times per day. I am not sure what he is changing exactly. My healing is so subltle but I feel like I am getting better very slowly. I am happy to be using herbs now and not abx. The abx really kicked my butt. He did use acupuncture on me a few times, but I did not respond well to that.

I like my TCM. His treatment is very inexpensive compared to others. The tea is about $35.00 per month. He also has me on a very good probiotic and other natural things. He really listens and tries to get me well.

I know another poster here, Traveler, cured her lyme disease using TCM the first time around.

Good luck and keep trying other treatments.

Actually, for Lyme & Bartonella I used 'western herbalism' and for Babesia, it was all TCM - but I used a Master TCM practitioner that was a Master Western Herbalist and an incredibly intuitive acupuncture therapist as well. I would have never made it through my Bart pain without the acupuncture.

As long as you TCM practitioner knows what abx you are using, they should be able to effectively add to your healing without much issues.

I would encourage you to check them out!! Go have a consult with them and see what they have to say and how you feel about it.
