Due to digestive issues I had to go off of antibiotics and started taking herbs. I have been able to keep the symptoms away but not quite as good as with antibiotics, so there is some hope as I fine tune my protocol. At my last Dr.'s appointment I tested very high for mycoplasma pneumoniae. I don't currently have cough or lung problem and haven't for quite a while but they said it was high enough to be either a recent or current infection.
There is a lot of over lap between Lyme symptoms and chronic myco but the weird thing is a lot of the things that have really worked for me are more targeted toward myco like raw garlic, biaxin, proteolytic enzymes etc so I think I should focus on this for now. Bruhner's books are in the mail and they should be here any day. I also ordered dry herbs to make tinctures for his core protocol but I am having a hard time finding bulk cryptolepis or sida acuta. Does anyone have suggestions of where to buy it or knowledge/experience of other herbs like cinnamon oil, lomatium, houttunia? Also if you have research showing a particular herbs efficacy by all means don't be shy.
In the mean time I am taking dry herbs of the following to treat Lyme and friends, bromelain, skull cap, cat's claw, cinnamon, olive leaf and a freeze dried garlic capsule I make. I also take fish oil, Vitamins and minerals for immune support.
Thanks Greg
