Chronic Tonic

Hi, I started taking Chronic Tonic on Saturday as soon as the package arrived from Misty Meadows. I jumped in feet first and am taking the full amount prescribed on the bottle, 2T. Will update with my progress, but today I actually feel better than I did yesterday. I have become cynical over the years and did not expect to see any improvements for at least a couple of weeks.

This has been a particularly a difficult year for me and the Lyme has been extremely active since having 33 radiation treatments in 2014. I have needed to take Doxycycline off and on all year, also had a couple runs of Bactrim and Zithromax, all orals.

I am trying to hit it hard, am so happy to see results so quickly. I needed an extra nap today and have broken out in sweats. I interpret it as detoxing. But I have been in so much pain for months that I could barely move until the ibuprophen kicked in and I had time to warm up my joints.

Will update as I see results, and thank you Traveler your information on the Chronic Tonic. I have also been taking NT Factor for a couple of weeks. Looking forward to feeling strong again!

Great! we can compare results. Thanks

Good luck to all of you!! I'll surely be watching for all of your posts as you go through this!!

Lighterbeing - do be careful since you've jumped in the deep end - LOL! - with taking a full dose right away. If you experience too much herxing (which is why you have the sweats and the extra tiredness), please be sure to increase your detoxing and even cut down the dose if need be in the next few weeks.

I do believe it has more to do with what my body needed to go through, but I didn't herx until week 3 and I herxed pretty good for 3 weeks both times I have used it. Just a head's up!!

And YAY!!! I hope you all find your healing soon!!!

Great update, I am also going to start doing it, hubby and I both.

I believe someone determined that if they bought the bottles from Misty Meadows, it would take 2 bottles a month.

Well, you've got me beat, Mr Mike - no pink tutus for me!!

Congrats on some improvements already!! Yay!!! And especially since it's lowered pain!!

Remember that if you have any co-infections, those symptoms may come out more as you lower your Lyme bacterial load.

Can you take the chronic tonic while you are on antibiotics. First time posting. Finally diagnosed 2011, I went to a holistic doctor and she charted all my blood work from 2005 to then nov 2011. She then gave me a list of possible diagnosis and blood test she wanted me to take back to my primary to run. This was very expensive. Well I did , she ordered most of the test, and had reasons why she wouldn't do others. Well test came back positive for lyme. Oral antibiotics were not working so I did rosephin iv, 3x week for 5 weeks. I had called my sons and told them I wanted my life over before this treatment, I can say with a smile that I will never let it get that bad again. To many years toooo many symptoms. My knees hurt so bad, and they are so swollen, I guess all my joints. I could write a book about all the diagnosis and treatments and doctors and specialist, but not today. Relapse hurts, had major surgery and fell back in it, test show more bands positive. Anyway chronic tonic can I take it? I am on a statin , synthroid, vit d , vit b, probiotics, hormone replacement, neurontin, hydrocodone, Bentyl, vit c, coq10,Benadryl,and I do dry brushing and detox baths. Sooo tired, sooo much pain, can't sleep, have had two cervical, both shoulders, one knee, one thoracic disc, one wrist surgeries. Oh least I forget a hysterectomy and removal of scar tissue from intestines, breast biopsy, since 2005. Did I say I was tired. Sorry this probably wasn't the right place for me to say all this. If I need to remove and post somewhere else , please let me know.

Chronic tonic update. It might not be a good time to take the full 2T on the nights I work. My patients might not want me dripping drops of sweat in their bed. Last night for about 3 hours I was flushed, sweaty and headachy. I did feel better after taking Tylenol and my bp med along with 3 big glasses of water. Note to self........drink lots of water while on the tonic. One more night then I will beef it back up again.
Will check back in after a couple of days when Im off. Probably in the middle of the night.

Ok, this is the third day on the CT (2 cups a day, I don't want to rush it) I Know, not long, but here goes:

Very bitter, but I cheat with the honey, I just pour it down my throat. And significantly better BM, not laxative.
A little increase in muscle pains, but not the deadly herx situations I'm used to (I'm used to very bad and constant herxes, on abx and on herbal protocols, non stop). Good start!

Yay!!! Happy dance that everyone that has started the CT is able to continue still!! I hope that this good news continues for all!!

Well, I had high levels of TSH anyway - years before I used the CT. So I didn't noticed any increase, but because I don't use "traditional" MD's, it's hard to know what all may have gone onthe first time I used it.

This last time I was on it (last summer), I was getting my blood tested every month at least, and my doc was watching my thyroid hormones -all of them - closely as that's what she was specifically treating me for, and my TSH never raised when I started the CT or did they raise up any time during the 5 months I was on it.

It has to just be one of those things that shows us how unique we all are from each other. Can you get your children's thyroid hormone levels tested regularly? If so, I would encourage you to do so, no matter what treatment they end up on.

When you are using the CT, the only detox item you can't use just at any time is the binders - all the others are fine. They help move the toxins out of the body, but don't interfere with the way the CT works. When I was infected the first time and going through treatments (2010), I detoxed all day long, every single day. I saw it as my "job", so I never took a day off from doing every single thing I could to help my body detox.

Thanks so much for that, Trav! That is very re-assuring
