Hello everybody,

I want to make public the failure of BCA Augsburg in Germany ,after almost 1 year of antibiotic , different combinations (azitromicyn,minocyclin, artemisinin, rifampicin, naturopathic antibiotics + multiple supplements)
my initial Lyme symptoms get worse and they did not have any other treatment solution.I mention also the huge treatment cost , more than 10,000 Euro without any improvement.I want the people that consider going there for treatment to know about another 10 people that I knew from Augsburg, no one had any improvement after getting antibiotic treatment there.Just beware about this Lyme treatment option is not so successful like they claim. Have a happy New Year 2014.

Thanks cristin,

We have some members that live in Europe.  If I lived in Europe and was still sick with lyme, I would probably go to the Paracelsus Clinic in Lustmühle, Switzerland if I could afford it as it's very expensive.  I followed a protocol by Dr. David Jernigan who studied with Dr. Thomas Rau who runs this clinic in Switzerland.

Were you taught how to detox?  Toxins cause most of a person's symptoms.  If you read the "New to Lyme? Start Here!" located in the sticky thread on top, there are instructions on how to detox.

Best of luck to you,

Denise

Hi Cristin!
Welcome to our community! I'm so very sorry that you had such a terrible experience with abx and that center! Many people try using treatment centers, but the problem I see with that is that they usually only know how to do one protocol and can't adjust to the needs of each individual.

Not every treatment will work for each person, but that sure doesn't mean that anyone did anything wrong. I to used abx first and only got worse, but it wasn't because of a failure on the part of the doc, it was because my body needed Holistic care, as Denise is speaking of. Detoxing is also a huge part of the healing process that we must take charge of if we wish to heal.

We need to be wary of all Lyme treatment protocols until we cautiously try them to see if it's what's right for us or not. We have been infected with incredibly complex bacteria that have most researchers baffled, so it makes sense that most treatments will only work for some, and other treatments will work for others.

I would greatly encourage you to look into Holistic healing, mixed with tons of detoxing and eating/drinking as healthy as you possibly can. We have a lot of really great people and information here in this community, so please do take the time to read through our many threads, starting with the one titled "New to Lyme? Start here!" even though you aren't exactly "new" to Lyme!

Hi all. Has anyone complained to BCA and managed to get a refund?

Most of these clinics have pretty airtight contracts/waivers that you sign before you are admitted.

It is for that reason, and the high costs, that I usually suggest folks try any/every treatment before going to a clinic.

Another ex patient here who would like to make a formal complaint. I am having difficulty trying to locate the relevant body to approach.
I ended up seriously unwell and hospitalised.

You will have to contact the "Deutsche Ärztekammer in Bayern" or in English, the German Physician Chambers in Baveria.

Just google the name and all the relevant information will appear.

Hope this helps,feel free to ask if I can aid you further :-)

I've had this clinic recommended to me by the doctor I was seeing until recently, however the $30,000 price (travel from Australia, accommodation etc) made me want to proceed with extreme caution.

I'd definitely spend that on a definite cure, but I've become a hardened skeptic during my ordeal, so I'm glad to see some others post about their less than satisfactory experiences there.

Also, in response to those with their detoxing and healthy eating advise, in the over nine years I suffered "chronic fatigue syndrome", I tried and followed a low gi, gluten free, sugar free diet, along with at times, dairy free, the caveman diet, any number of variations of "healthy" diets, as well as all types of detoxes, supplements, potions, elixirs, and vitamins, and in all that time none of them made any difference whatsoever.

Now I have my Lyme diagnosis, I struggle with the notion that I can cure this with an approach that failed to halt its progress in the first place.

Is there anyone who is actually satisfied with the treatment there?

Because I don't have any information on this clinic, I usually leave this thread to those that have been there and can be of help - but I feel the need to address the comment above.

While detoxing and eating healthy is a requirement to heal from these infections, detoxing and eating healthy will never, ever heal a highly complex infection from one of the most complex bacteria known. And while it will take abx or specific herbal protocols to heal, those alone rarely heal any person with chronic Lyme - it absolutely is a must to not only have antibacterial treatment, it's also an absolute must to detox and to eat very healthy should that person wish to heal.

Should anyone have complaints about this facility - do not post them here as it will do no more good than the previous complaints. Please do as Tickled Pink has suggested:
"You will have to contact the "Deutsche Ärztekammer in Bayern" or in English, the German Physician Chambers in Baveria.
