Well right away even though I've not seen LLIDS I was meeting with a naturopath I'm on a parasite drop and diatom-earth... really don't feel much different other than no drunken (neuropathy) episodes.
I really try to stay away from all western meds. Really desire to find a natural healing.

Please tell me what is the best protocol you all have experienced? What's working?

Everyone's different, therefore different protocols will work for different people, and be largely ineffective for others. Common herbal protocols to look into would be Buhner's protocol (check out his book Healing Lyme) and Cowden's protocol.

Cowden sells their protocol in a nice set on the Nutramedix website, but it is very expensive.. close to $300 per month..

Buhner doesn't sell his protocol in sets (you've gotta weigh the positives and negatives. You miss out on convenience, but at least he's not just trying to make a buck by selling you an overpriced set). You have to buy everything independently, which gives you an opportunity to find out what will/won't work for you.

Other natural treatment options to look into (that I've heard have been successful) are Japanese Knotweed, Cat's Claw, and Milk thistle (protects the liver I'm pretty sure). You could also look into BVT, or bee venom therapy, as some have found it forces the Lyme into remission.

As everyone on here will tell you, start low and slow. Whatever you end up trying, make sure your body can handle it. Low dosages, and increase slowly..

Hope this offers some insight, I'm new to this too. Just ordered my first month of Cowden.. will let you know how it works.

Wow, cweber - you've been doing some reading and are learning quickly - good for you!


Just wanted to clarify - Japanese knotweed, Cats claw are part of Buhners core Lyme protocol.

And yes, Milk thistle is used as support for our liver.

Jeanbean - there isn't a best protocol - what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. There can be some trial and error figuring out what does work for you.

Besides Cowden and Buhner, a couple more are Byron White and Beyond Balance.

Thank you! I have been reading on Cowden... So yes please let me know. I also ordered the medical medium book. I'm continuing with the simple stuff I'm doing right now till I see the DR. Then I'm gonna be looking into eradicating this, Lyme Circus. So please do let me know how you progress. Thanks again

What of colloidal silver?

I love Buhners. It is the most flexible which I feel is imperative for an illness that is so highly individualized. I also simply love his books. I'm almost glad I got Lyme just so I could read them...

I've used an affiliate website that offers a discount on first time orders from nutramedix. I don't know who this person is, I stumbled across it when googling, but it does save you additional 10 percent.

Email me if you are interested.

I just wanted to pop in and say that I agree - not everything works for everyone. The herbal protocol I used doesn't seem to work for everyone, and yet it worked very well for me.

What I usually tell people is to look over each protocol you are interested in and see which one resonates with you. We are often correct is using that one. But, if none seem to resonate with you, then look for one that seems like it might be your best way to go. There's really no other/better way of trying to decide, unfortunately.

Keep asking lots of questions about the different protocols, and we will do our best to answer your questions though!

I love Beyond Balance but it is not for everyone.

I did not think it was "enough" for me so I did Buhner's protocol along with it. As was said my Psilo, I too am fond of personalizing my protocol and Buhner allows me to do that.

And, now with hubby treating we can see where 2 people are so different. He needs less of some herbs than me and on some herbs he needs more than I did.

Dr. Rawls' book, Unlocking Lyme, is a super easy book to read and it has Buhner information in an easy to read format. He even went so far as to write each paragraph only a couple of sentences to make it easier to read.

Rawls had lyme and treated with Buhner's protocol so it is like a mini Buhner book but more detailed about the how's and why's of lyme in layman's terms. I highly recommend this book.
