Hi all. At the moment I'm on tetracycline, biaxin and plaq 2 times a day and although a lot has cleared up im concerned that it's not treating my PNS and CNS issues. I still have almost constant twitching everywhere with burning pain and tingling. Is it just that these issues take more time to resolve or should I ask about possible IV THERAPY? thanks friends

Hi Will,
First are you detoxing a lot? The Epsom Salt/peroxide detox soaks help a lot of people with those issues. Remember you can add in the foot soaks to help increase the amount you are detoxing. Don't forget that you should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day still to help flush those toxins and stay hydrated.

IV therapy doesn't have all that good of a track record with these infections to begin with, which is why most people are on just oral abx or herbal/natural therapies.

Depending on just how long you have been on these meds, and the rate at which you have seen improvements, you may just need to stick to what you are doing longer to see those symptoms improve as well.

Thanks traveler. I will start detoxing. It's not something I've been very good with other than diet. I've only been on them since the end of August. Are there herbs that I should think about adding that might help. I was told I don't have a Mag deficiency according to blood work so are there any herbs you suggest for nervous system repair? Doctor isn't worried about the twitching but it drives me nuts and I want it gone :(

Hi Will,
Please do get started increasing what you do for detoxing, as this will likely be the easiest thing to do that will help.

The only herb I've used to heal my nervous system has been Avena Sativa tincture. It's been working great for me, my burning and numbness has been reduced by 2/3rds now, and more healing is still going on. If you decide to try it, just be sure to get Avena Sativa - oats in the milky stage, not oat straw, as they are two different things.

The doctor isn't worried about the twitching because they don't have to live with it! My muscles get tired and sore when there's a lot of twitching going on! The more healing you get under your belt the less you'll have to deal with it, but there's no reason to suffer needlessly!!

about the magnesium - I was told by my practitioner that the best way to know that your body is actually getting and using the right amount of magnesium is to take it to bowel tolerance. Once again, the blood tests help, but are not all that accurate as each body needs a different amount.

Omnicef great for all things neuro. I had it very badly with many horrible neruo symptoms, chronic.
had the above 300 mg @ twice a day and saw huge improvement. Can be used in conjunction with doxy ammox and probably many others. Hope it helps :)

traveler, the Avena Sativa tincture is it made out of oats. I have been told oats need to be avoided on a gluten free diet which I am on. jackie

Unless you have a true allergy to gluten, the amount of actual oats that you would be getting in 20 or 30 drops of wild oat tincture won't hurt a thing. You aren't eating the oats, it's a tincture - components that are drawn out of the oat with water and alcohol, while the oat is still green.

Did my first detox bath last night. Holy cow. when i got out i was so light headed it was unbelievable. Is that normal? Maybe a herx? When i recovered i definitely felt very refreshed. Traveler is there any herbal store that i can drive to to grab the tincture? I'm in southern nh. Not sure if your familiar with the area.
Posted 12/7/2013 6:35 PM (GMT 0)
LOL! Yep! That sounds like a herx! You may want to not stay in the water quite so long, although many find that the lightheadedness goes away quickly enough and after a few they subside all together.

No, I'm not at all familiar with the NH area - I've never even been there! I live in the southern part of the Midwest. You can Google "Health food stores in _________" (insert your town & state) and find a local health food store. If that doesn't work look for Herbalists in your area. Or you can order it online, it should only take a few days to get to you.
