it sounds like people have had the most success with buhners herbs so I ordered the Bartonella protocol. I'm going to start that(gradually, one at a time to avoid toxic reactions) while I'm seeing my chinese medicine doctor. I don't know if he'll want to keep treating me while I"m taking all this other stuff but we'll see. I know this may not be the most balanced way to heal but I just don't have the patience I need some kind of sign that I'm healing NOW not in a couple weeks or a month. Hopefully I will get that with this bartonella protocol.
I'm so tired of not being able to eat. I've lost 35 lbs in 2 months and from my fat distribution much of it seems to be muscle mass. EWEWEWEWEW
This disease is pathetic i'm going to whoop it's ass so bad

I have no idea what your doctor is having you take but I would give him a month before I started self medicating with herbs.

First off just because they are herbs doesn't mean they don't pack a punch. I took one and on 2 drops found out I could not take it!

And some herbs might not mix well with his herbs. The idea behind an herbal protocol is synergy or working together. You would hate to mess up what you are paying for with the doctor because you added something that was contraindicated.

Give your doc a month and then discuss it with him.

I totally understand your anxiousness. I remember this feeling so very well. You will read over and over again on this forum that this is not a sprint to get better, it is a marathon and you must pace yourself. I have not read of ONE sprint winning this race against lyme.

Patience is the hardest thing, I feel like life is going on around me and I'm missing out on all of it and it's driving me nuts. I am going to give these herbs a week(I am seeing him weekly) and then I'll discuss adding these other herbs with him. I should notice SOME kind of improvement in a week. I want it to work so bad but his approach is so sensible and balanced and SLOW which for me is like pulling teeth.

btw, PeteZa

Did you see a chinese doctor for your treatment?
What's you story?

I know this slow and it drove me crazy too. I wanted to be well now! It was hard for me to learn to be patient. I actually joked for a long time that I needed it painted on my living room wall. Joked, but was somewhat serious.

I have not seen a TCM doctor for lyme. However I did go to one years (35) to quit smoking. He was awesome. I also went to another one for seasonal pollen allergies. He was awesome. And once again I went to one for food allergies. He was an acupuncturist also and he desensitized me to the foods I was allergic to. It was strange and unusual, but all be darn if it didn't work.

Like I said, I would go in a heartbeat if I lived closer to one now. They generally used a lot of the herbs that Buhner uses in his protocol but they have a slew of others and my knowledge of their herbs is tiny and just a speck of what they know.

I think you are heading in a good direction, especially if your doctor has treated lyme before. Has he cured someone from it?

Luthien, I'm so very sorry, but no matter how much we want to see immediate results, that is not this bacteria's way of doing things - no matter how hard we try, this bacteria is on it's own schedule, so we have to just be patient.

Those that try to rush things usually end up taking longer to heal due to the mistakes they make by trying to rush things.

We all would like to heal faster, believe me. I think every single person that has these infections is impatient to heal, but it's simply not up to our desires on how fast we heal. These bacteria do damage to the body and it takes time for it to heal.

A week simply is not long enough. The bacteria don't even replicate as fast as "regular" bacteria. Usually bacteria take minutes, hours or a day or two to replicate in the body. Borrelia (Lyme) takes 3- 5 weeks to replicate in the body. And this is when the most "killing" of the bacteria will happen, while they are in your blood stream replicating.

So by only giving yourself a week to respond, unless you are very, very lucky and just happen to pick the right week - there's simply no way you will know if that protocol will even work. Seriously - you need to give a treatment 2 months or you may never know what works for you and what doesn't.
