What's your nutrition/supplement list

UPDATING - Began protocol in Jan 2015 -nutrition, first herbs in Feb. Cats Claw, then Japanese Knotweed

Curious, what others protocols look like in full.

Nutrition
Base: no sugar, dairy, gluten, caffiene - organic veggies/fruits
have developed a meat aversion. Tried making bone broth and also grass fed beef, made me want to throw up. Went on artkation did not adhere to this and felt I took a few steps back. Working back towards this because body seemed happiest with this.

Stress
Not taking on as much! Haven’t had energy anyways. Relationship better. Work stress reduced.

Supplements
Presently switching it up a bit - trying ZHANG protocol for anti-spirochete/bacterial
ZHANG protocol
Arthal EZ - for arthritis type pain (seems to have helped!) - loved this - discontinued... don't need it any more
[vitamin c, calcium, manganese, boron, glucosamine sulfate, type II Collagen, chondroitin sulfate herbs: san-qi, gingens, dong-quai root, sichuan easel, rhizome, safflower flower, pubescent angelica root, notopteryglum rhizome]

Anti-bacterial
Allicin - 3x a day (finished one bottle - taking a break, back on cats claw - integrating raw garlic instead, cutting up the cloves and dicing the up and swallowing them, cost saving) - LOVED this...too costly, cut out garlic because my stomach wouldn't tolerate it

HH2 capsule
for bartonella
(naturopath suspected this, tired of sore throat - thought to try this - will test for 1 month)
Switched to bulk herbs, cheaper. Couldn't manage the herbs in a tea form so made a tincture - tolerating it well.

Cats Claw - taking a break for a few weeks while trying allicin
Added Cats Claw back in when ran out of Allicin

Loving this! Bumping for more views. Will have to get my list organized...

This should be on first page all the time. Very helpful!!

And I thought I was taking a lot of supplements

Bumping this to review notes - back to the drawing board with an uptick in symptoms - feeling a bit overwhelmed by the relapse.

Beginning how I did initially.

Changing my diet and integrating herbs slowly.

Currently
Cats Claw
Japanese Knotweed

Detox
Activated charcoal

With my relapse I didn't reinvent the wheel. I just went back mostly to what worked the first time. Took a couple of rounds of ABX. Brought back herbs gradually. Brought back all my supps.

The good news my friend is you will bounce back much quicker. Mainly because you wont waste time not knowing what to do or how to do it and spending your valuable time learning on what to do and how to do it. You can just jump right back in.

Also, I believe the body adjusts after the first go round with lyme and also "learns" to handle it better and heal faster.

It took me 1/3 of the time to recover.

I wish you the best of luck.
