Does Chronic Tonic Fight The Lyme Co Infections As Well?

While it'd probably be best for you to get an answer off of her, considering she's the Chronic Tonic sensei around here, I feel like there's a few more of its users than you're giving credit. A lot of people probably went out and tried it, without contributing much to the threads on it. I did.

That said, personally, I'd say yes, and no. Though, mostly no.

Yes, because some of the herbs likely have broad-spectrum qualities, affecting multiple invaders. In fact, I've had some of my biggest reactions to the neem leaf that's included, out of all things, which was something that I'd always thought was more of a Lyme herb. I don't think so anymore.

Now, I'd say no, because I don't think they'd do enough for the other infections on their own, even Traveler used houttuynia to treat Bart. I'm kind of amazed she was able to kill it off with just that, but yeah.

Also, because there are other herbs that are more readily suggested - like you mentioned, houttuynia and the CSA combination.

I feel your pain on the alcohol though. I don't quite know why, but I just can't deal with it. I wish the whole herbs weren't so hard to find/afford, because I'd really like to be using those herbs.

Sorry if this answer is not satisfactory - Trav should be around, probably in the morning.

Exactly - although there are some herbs in the CT that are used to treat other infections, the CT only treats Lyme - but it completely treated my 40 yr old Lyme infection in only 1 year. It's very obvious that it doesn't work for all who try, but for those that have tried other options and they didnt' work, it's definitely worth a try in my opinion.

As far as my using Houttuynia to treat Bart - I used it at the same time as I was using the CT, so in that way, I didn't use Houttuynia alone to treat Bart, but all the herbs in the CT as well since I was still on that as well. You have to look at my time line to understand that though. I started out by treating Lyme first, as those symptoms were ruling my life, but after just 2 months of using the CT, it was the Bart symptoms that were completely taking over, so at the 3 month mark, when I couldn't stand it any longer, we added in Houttuynia to treat the Bart. It was like a miracle for me. Within 2 months I could stand longer than 7 minutes on my legs - my feet didn't feel like they were raw and bleeding on the underside any longer and more.

I never once felt like any of these herbs muddled my brain - they gave me back my brain, but you have to understand just how compromised I was. If I wouldn't have healed, I would have never, never been able to function on my own again. I would have needed to have supervision/care the rest of my life. These herbs really were a miracle for me as nothing else was working and I was losing the battle without them.

A note about the alcohol - unless you have a bad ulcer or are actually allergic to the alcohol, you don't take that much unless your whole protocol is in tinctures. If that's the case, a person could feasibly have issues with candida, but many have used nothing but tinctures and have healed very well. I used anywhere from 1 - 4 different tinctures at a time during my healing to deal with the different symptoms I had.
