Since SummerLindsey's child got a tick I thought oh gosh, I better get ready for tick season. I went to Buhner's book to see what he recommends and I plan on having these on hand.

To prevent infection (pg. 216, Healing Lyme, Second Edition by Stephen Harrod Buhner)

In endemic areas: 1,000 mg Astragalus daily throughtout the year.

For duration of tick season: 3,000 mg Astragalus daily.

Liberal use of natural tick repellant before going outdoors.

At tick bite: Remove tick, liberally apply andropraphis tincture to bite site, cover with a moistened glob of bentonite clay, cover that with thin cotton, and leave on for twelve to twenty-four hours. (From reports, this seems to prevent active infection nearly every time.)

At tick bite: Homeopathic ledum 1M 3x daily for three days. (From reports, this also seems to work for some people.)

At appearance of rash: Homeopathic apis 30C 3x daily for three days and begin core protocol.


I think it is the girl scout in me that wants to be prepared! So I thought I would share.

Thank you for this topic. I will print it and give it to my family and friends. I want to do everything to protect them from this horrible disease.
I was wondering if Astralagus keeps ticks from bitting or it kills bacteria if they enter the body?
And which abx would be good? Doxy?

I had a girlfriend that got a bite right after I did and she went to the doc and got doxy. She did not get lyme so far. Her bite and mine looked exactly the same and she lives next door to the home where I was bit. Either a month of doxy immediately was good enough for her or her tick didn't have Bb. We just don't know.

Astragalus keeps our immune system up and charging on bad bugs.

Also good for prevention is killing the buggers before they can breed. I'll be putting out tick tubes (someone suggested here) and of course there are my 5 noisy guineas on patrol. In reading about these tick tubes, it seems that some people have nearly eradicated ticks on their property. Long story short, the poison (permethrin) is sprayed on cottonballs or dry lint or whatever, stuffed into toilet paper tubes and then tuck those into leaf piles, tall grasses, tick habitat. The mice grab the stuffing for their nests and thereby rub the poison all over themselves and their baby mice (it doesn't hurt mammals but is deadly for aquatic life) and when the ticks land on the mice they DIE. Supposed to be done in April and July when the mice are nesting.

We have seen ticks on the dogs and I had one on my pants during a walk the other day. Today I found either a deer tick or a nymph wood tick crawling on our white dog's fur. It went to tick university. tongue

Oh how I hate them.

I made it an easy link for me and everyone.

I do have a question. It says to use toilet paper rolls. What about rain damaging the rolls? Have you tried PVC pipe instead, or will the mice go away from those?
