lyme and adrenal fatigue

Is she using bio-identical progesterone cream to increase her progest. levels?

You might want to ask her Dr. about it.

Can she do Epsom salt baths (warm)?
And dry brushing the skin prior to the baths?

Is she drinking lots of water? And adding fresh lemon juice to some glasses?

Can she take alka seltzer gold?

Those are all effective for detoxing.

If/when she starts Cowden - it must be very low dose and slowly titrate up. Introduce one at a time.

I have adrenal fatigue and low hormone levels. Low dose sublingual pregnenalone has helped some. I am also very sensitive to many things and adaptogenic herbs for adrenal fatigue are way too stimulating for me.

Most recently, acupuncture has helped and improved my sleep. Have you looked into seriphos for sleep? It helps repair the HPA axis and regulate sleep cycles. I haven't tried it yet, but plan on implementing soon if need be.

As mentioned by others above, K and I both use low dose bioidentical progesterone cream (2 pea-size applications in the am and again in the pm):

I don't sell this cream, but it's good. No parabens etc. It would seriously be worth investing in a tube to see if she reacts to it. It has been a lifesaver for both of us. This low dose doesn't need to be discontinued during the period but makes a huge difference in symptoms of estrogen dominance that often occur beforehand, as well as symptoms of adrenal fatigue.

600 mg per day of magnesium citrate powder mixed in water. 150 mg 9am, 150 mg 3pm, 300 mg 9pm.

Organic lemon juice in water daily.

Methylated B vitamins which are needed because the MTHFR deletions decrease methylation occurring in the body. We use 1 capsule of this:

plus sublingual methyl B12, every other day - Mon, Wed, Fri. The rest we hope to get from diet.

Low dose melatonin drops - 5 before bed in the evening.

DHEA may be actually be causing your problem, as might pregnanalone. These hormones are higher up on the progesterone pathway and may shunt to production of other unwanted hormones. The production of cortisol uses up progesterone which is then not available to antagonize estrogen which is then left to run rampant.

Herbs (the complete Buhner bartonella protocol with CSA and red root added from the babesia protocol) have helped us immensely. After all the diagnoses that K previously had, she is now very neurotypical.

When people say they are dealing with lyme I assume they have not investigated the coinfections. Lyme VERY RARELY travels alone. Please investigate the coinfections prevalent in your area.

You need to be eating an organic diet. Glyphosate acts as both an antibiotic in the gut (killing the beneficial probiotic bacteria that are the foundation of the immune system), and a chelator of minerals (especially magnesium). Bioavailable minerals need to be supplemented.
