What Lyme treatment has been most effective for you?

I am currently on a herbal treatment for 4 months and getting worse.

I also wonder if your herxing and needing to detox to get the toxins out. There is info. on detoxing on the "New to Lyme" thread that Girlie mentioned, in case you aren't doing it and need to learn about it. If you don't understand it, just ask for help. Your herbal treatment may be working well for you after all. Do tell us what you're taking so others who take the same herbals can offer suggestions.

Hi Mossotti!
Welcome to our community!!

I would encourage you to read through our "New to Lyme? Start here!" thread, even though you may not be "new" to Lyme. It's packed with important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more.

Also there is this link that will take you to a page full of more detoxing suggestions: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

As these bacteria die off, they release toxins that can keep us feeling really horrible.

Gene mutations, mold exposure and multiple tick-borne infections can all prevent us from detoxing well, but we must be able to get those toxins out of our bodies. I have not had any of the gene mutation testing done, although I do seem to have the same kind of issues as those that do - so I figured it was best for me to assume that I did and work to get my body to detox much better. It took a lot of diet changes as things with my body changed, I used a foot soak daily, dry skin brushing, making sure my bowels moved at least once a day (sorry if it's TMI!) pushing myself to drink at least 64 ounces of lemon water each and every day, liver/gall bladder flushes (all natural), oil pulling, taking activated charcoal and keeping the amount of stress in my life at a bare minimum.

Thank you, Mossotti. It was a very long, dark, twisty-turny road for me - but I made it!

You can see what my basic story is if you follow the link at the bottom of my posts:

You can find what is in and how I used the Chronic Tonic here:

And, I posted this in another thread, but didn't want you to miss it. Not to put down your herbalist, but you should know that Teasel is the only herb in there that would be of much help with treating the actual infections. Some nice symptom relief with those herbs possibly, but even looking up the ones I've not heard of didn't leave me with much confidence.

I would encourage you to question your herbalist about the use of these herbs and the lack of any reactions.

The treatment that I'm not getting! :D

Ohohohooo, full of my one-liners tonight. Don't mind me. My set's almost over. I'll be clearing the stage shortly.

For me I have had great help from the Hansa Center (Dr Jernigan's protocol). I started it 9 months ago and am feeling really good! I just stopped the lyme treatment this week and am now just tending some of the damage that was done from the antibiotics I took prior to Hansa ( the antibiotics did not work for me at all). I am feeling good.
