He is so new to this....... I asked him what is the maximum dosage for the Beyond Balance herbs and he said he would have to call the company. I asked if the Babs-1 was for Babesia and asked about the Bart-1 and he said that made sense. Not a comforting confirmation.
He is VERY concerned with my blood pressure and my pulse, and my pesky back of the head pain that sometimes affects my eye socket. I get the feeling he thinks it is all blood pressure related. I will take the stupid blood pressure pills for 2 weeks and then see what happens. I am now 95/59 and pulse was 66. I still have the head pain.

I just know it is lyme. I really like him but I either have to get him to study and learn about these herbs or I am going to quit them and give it a go on my own with Buhner.

thanks for letting me vent.

Oh, PeteZa

I'm sorry your LLMD doesn't appear knowledgeable about the herbs he's recommending! That's a bit scary IMHO

Have you researched natural ways to regulate your blood pressure? Maybe some of Buhner's answers to the BP-related questions on his site might help:

I'll tell you...once I got over the hump (= lack of self confidence) about treating myself with herbals, I'm feeling really good about it.....and I'm feeling better which was the goal all along :)

Hope things fall into place for you soon!!

Thanks CD. I am giving the doc these 2 weeks and then he will be told what I am going to do. I treated myself for menopause and didn't end up in the loony bin, so I feel confident I can do this.

Yikes, that's not very encouraging, is it? If he is going to contact Beyond Balance, he should also find out which formulations are best for someone who was infected in your geographical area. I know that BB-1, Bab-1, and Bar-1 are used where I live, but if you live somewhere else, you might do better with Bab-2 or something. I believe the different formulations target different strains of the bugs.

I do hope that your doc gets it together, but I also want you to know that you can most likely do this on your own too!!

Having the guidance and knowledge of a doctor can be very helpful, but we also have to remember, they are treating for the majority of the people they see, and some can't personalize their care for each person very well. I'm seeing an excellent doctor for thyroid and adrenal issues, but she's having a hard time in treating me. I'm not following the "norm" (LOL! Never have before!!), so she's not sure what to do with me, but I need her to write my script for my thyroid meds, so I'll continue to see her, and guide her in helping me to heal.
