I've been being treated for Lyme and Bartonella for close to 18 months. Most symptoms have subsided, but the internal vibrations have remained with little to no change. Old symptoms creep in sporadically, but they're not as worrisome.

My NPLLMD had me do a Macrons test which came back positive. I also sent out a urine test for mold, which came back showing that mold isn't a problem. My doc has come to the conclusion that I have Bartonella/tick-borne biotoxin illness....I guess. We've been communicating via E-mail. I will learn more at my next appt on Aug 12th.

I've been taking Cholestyramine, twice a day, since July 11th. I've followed the rules as far as taking meds and supplements at least 4 hours after, but it has interfered with my thyroid meds, which I took about 7 hours after the Cholestyramine. So, I'm now taking it once a day (only two days so far) instead of twice. I'm also taking a detox, A-Bart, Sida Acuta and ACS (Extra Strength) nasal spray. I've been doing this for 3 1/2 weeks and I don't feel any different.

If anyone has taken Cholestyramine for Lyme treatment, I'd love to hear your successes and failures.

I take it, but for mold.

I've read that it can take a month or longer to see benefits with cholestyramine. Depends on your toxin load. The cholestyramine ushers out toxins quickly. As soon as your blood is freed up of toxins, more stored toxins are released and fill the void left by the toxins that had just been discarded. This is usually accompanied with a herx as the newly freed toxins create inflammation. This will continue to happen until your toxin load has decreased quite a bit.

If you experience no change after 2 months on csm, toxins might not be the issue.

How is that any different than you have lyme and co's (with Marcons being a symptom)?

Good question, Girlie. LOL. I have no idea. I’ve had two negative Bartonella tests since the initial test that confirmed Bart, over a year ago. It probably is just chronic Lyme. I hope to learn more at my Aug 12 Appt.

i take it for lyme but you only are supposed to take it once a day. i take it just an hour away from prescriptions and an hour and a half before food. my doc says take it minimum two hours before food but thats the best i can do. i haven't noticed any benefits yet.
