Does it sound like Lyme?

Traveler your story is something crazy, a clear example of how after the tunnel there's always some light, I had a look on your herbs though as I said I'm not taking abx because not havin dx, reading "new to Lyme ect" I now understand why of my devastating reaction to infrared sauna, that was terrible.

Girlie, I have past from november 2014 to June 2015 accumulating symptom and stressing out I had MS then Mri showed clear and Doctor told me I was "emotionally ill" and that moment I was devastated n started stupidly to think I could be right as no test showed nothing so he suggested me a psychiatrist who basically did put more weight with stupid antidepressants (after I took my first dose suddenly floaters came) that really only exacerbated my symptoms and stole me lot of money,(got diagnosed by another doctor of"a slight form of fibromyalgia" that gave me a bitter laugh) I then realized it was all fu--ed and that was wrong choice so I left the guy and started studying on detox it was clear that was anything but mental, tried meditation many times but seems to worsen all as I feel more my body pain, I checked b12 b9 d3 vit they were all low mostly b12, I then fixed it, started on vitamins, juicing, saunas (which I stopped) , I gained infos about metal detox and read many stories I would drink heaps of green tee, lots of ginger curcumin chlorella NAC, milk thistle I then started glutathione (only headache from that) enterosgel lithium orotate low dosage omega 3 linph drainage homeopathic tissutal drainage, I did change my diet and eliminate pasta, dairy, increased fruits a lot, I was feeling really bad reaching the poin my abdomen wouldn't even let me lay on bed, eating was a penitence to a point I said : "fu-- all" and didn't eat for 3 days only water 4th day juices, since then (2 weeks ago) I started with pasta again, and yogurt as well stopped teas and curcumin, since then feel a bit better, I don't take probiotics in capsules because the just make my intestine explode like fireworks, yogurt I can bear, I then bought magnesium oil for cramps n twitching, discovered of Lyme, and said to myself that stuff like herbs is just better to riequilibrate my body, I got serrapeptase enula n cats claw, colloidal silver colloidal gold, coenzyme q10 cellfood 2g c ascorbate calcium, then ordered cowdens protocol herbs ect, I think I've been struggling so much because I was detoxing with no stops, but if I have to comparate to 3 months ago things have improved, not yet to livable though, btw I don't know how to read thru the candida explosion, and I'm a bit concerned with the Ccsvi operation I have on tuesday because of the contrast dye, concerned I spent lot of time on detox and worried I may lose some gain

Just an interesting tidbit...when I had my heavy metal test I was showing above average on Gadolinium which is the MRI contrast dye. The test was done in September and my MRI's (2 with contrast) were 5 months prior. So that stuff does stick around!

Sorry ***cutler

Japanese Knotweed penetrates the blood/brain barrier, so it should be good for neurolyme.
It's one of the herbs in Buhner's Lyme and Bartonella protocols.

I believe it's also anti-inflammatory.

I'm glad I could help, Aramiz!

I'm not sure about knotweed and specifically the eyes.

Yes, Resveratrol is a constituent of Japanese Knotweed.
But, there are other sources of Resveratrol - one being Red Wine Grapes. I bought that from my local Health Food store when I didn't know better.

You want the JK Resveratrol.

I have neurolyme. Mine went neuro early on.....with anxiety, cognitive and memory problems. Couldn't concentrate, couldn't write neatly, etc.
I was also off-balance, and had the sensation of pressure in my head behind my eyes.
Most of those issues are greatly improved. My balance is fully restored (knock on wood).

Aramiz, I'm in California and I had to get my JK from the internet.

For neuroborreliosis Buhner suggests Uncaria rhynchophylla (Gou-Teng) tincture. I think if you find Cat's Claw, una de gato, Samento or saventaro (its common names) and look on the ingredients you will find this. He also suggest (along with his core protocol) Tryptophan, 1,500 mg 3x day. If you have more specific neuro issues he goes even deeper in his new book.

Stephania tincture is what Buhner suggests for eyes. 1/2 tsp 3x day.

Stephania has a warning - Not to be used with people taking pharmaceutical calcium channel blockers or beta-blocker drugs,. Not for use with people taking digoxin. Not for use with people on antiarrhythmia medications. Not to be used if you are hypotensive.

I always look up interactions and side effects before I take any herb. Also, remember to start lower than the suggested amount and very slowly work up to the recommended amount.

Hope this is helpful.

Amazon has Buhner's book
Healing Lyme: Natural Healing of Lyme Borreliosis and the Coinfections Chlamydia and Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis, 2nd Edition Paperback – December 7, 2015
for $15. I don't see a Kindle available YET.

In that book Buhner recommends uncaria rhynchophylla. There are 157 species of unicaria and even Buhner says it is confusing. Uncaria Tomentosa is Samento and is one of those species. I like sticking to what Buhner suggests. So his is Gou-Teng. That is why you really have to look at the ingredient to make sure it is what you want.

Girlie made a great comment about Resveratol above and how it can be different. Labels are important. I called my health food store asking for Japanese knotweed and the grape skins is what they said I should get. Not the same thing.

Just had Ccsvi procedure here till Now i dont See Many changes But probably results come with time.

about Kefir, yea i bought the milk, maybe Ita just not the same as powder or so, anyway Many People dont react well to milk so Who knows, for the herbs the point for me is finding Them in europe so to not overpay em and Get it in reasonable time

I found some knotweed from uk il Buy it

Btw in still hospitased and i ve recieved the analysis i ve done prior
To operation, things that i. Have to mention is that after the toraci ct scan i had very intense bone pain for some hours, I don't know why of that but I'll never do anothers cat scan any of you ever had such reaction?

Plus my blood work seem ok for all exept that I have low monocytes I don't know what to think about it, do any have same problems?

"A low number of monocytes in the blood (monocytopenia) can occur in response to the release of toxins into the blood by certain types of bacteria (endotoxemia)"
www.merckmanuals.com/home/blood-disorders/white-blood-cell-disorders/monocyte-disorders

So this would indicate that you are in a herx and need to help your body detox them out.

And by the way, the Serrapeptase is anti-inflammatory, so that's why it's helping you. Lyme is an inflammatory infection with the inflammation being in between our cells.

" I have cough headache on left back side" - is this a typo? Auto correct helping too much? I'm not sure what a cough headache would be, but it's located in the same area as a meningitis headache would be - although it usually shows up on both sides. This type of headache is not unusual with Lyme.

Just to be sure, were you taking Serrapeptase when your inflammation tests were being done? I never understood why I was always told I didn't have any inflammation markers in my blood the whole time I was infected either. I sure felt inflamed!

Just recieved nutramedix Stuff for protocol.

Buhner recommends 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Hawthorne tincture for heart health. It can be taken at the same time as the Cowden tinctures.

The breathing issue you describe is called "air hunger" and often happens with Babesia. I hope you're maintaining a symptoms journal - it can provide valuable information....and also help you realize you're improving (it can take so long to happen that we don't necessarily realize it's happened)
