There is a functional medicine doctor here who says she treats lyme and her belief is abts and fix the gut and that is pretty much it. I don't know that I buy that after everything I have read and heard on here. I have some Asyra testing tomorrow and I have been doing biomagnetic therapy to help me balance out my systems...I dont' know what has changed but I haven't had the hot tingling burning all week..I have been working on detox more and adding things in slowly taking more methyl b12 .. milk thisle and adrenal support and my armour thyroid got upped to 90 mg...so not sure what changed....but it is welcome as I have been on fire hot and tingling for long periods of a time.

I hope this Asyra testing will give me some insight...supposedly it supposed to give you supplements that have frequencies in them just for you and your get retested every 4 to 6 weeks.....the biofeedback supposed to kill pathogens although Im not killing anything right now

here is where I am going if anyone is close to MO or AR--she has 2 clinics

there is also a man in TN who does something similar and people come from all over the world the see him is my understanding and LLMD in TN send some of their patients to him..that was what I was told anyway..I was going to go see him..but he hasn't called me back yet with appointment....so.........

Any comments/ ideas/ etc...I am not sure about the functional medicine doctor...she is a bit spendy but at least she is an MD too....so I could get meds if needed and not have to travel to LLMD in MS.---which he doesn't have openings until September so either way I will treat myself until then....I just need some hope people can get better from all the havoc this has wreaked on my body...


every system has been affected and 8 brain lesions.... I hear of people getting better but where I sit right now...its so hard to believe.

"every system has been affected and 8 brain lesions.... I hear of people getting better but where I sit right now...its so hard to believe."

I (and many others here) know exactly how you feel. Just keep going...and lean on the support of the members here.
I think the key is to not give up too soon...it's a long journey to wellness...and an exercise in patience.

I haven't heard of the Asyra testing.

Most LLMDs have long wait times. It is highly beneficial to make the appointment. Then if you find a better doctor you can always cancel, but you have the LLMD as an ace in the hole.

What I did when I got lyme was research and research and then I decided on what looked the best for me. I also looked at the one with the best results. And of course, I looked at the one that had the least side effects. I wanted a PROVEN one that I could say I was 95% better. That is the one I decided to take.

We are all different. One thing I DID NOT do was jump on everything on the internet. There are a lot of, what I call airy fairy things that they profess to be the "latest and greatest." I stayed away from those wonder cures.

I looked at HealingWell and was so glad to see what everyone else was taking and I went from there.

I also have resisted many of the 'out there' things... there are so many.

On a very broad macro level the functional medicine doctor is "right". An agent that helps kill the bacteria (whether that is abx or herbs) and healthy optimally functioning gut. The optimally functioning gut will strengthen the immune system (where 80% of the immune system resides). It's this combo that leads to healing and getting well.

However the "that's it" part makes it sounds like it's simple and quick. That part is untrue.

Like "oh, yea so just do those two things really quick and you are set, have a nice day". No, not that easy.

How do all of u fix your guts ....just antifungal and maybe nystatin
Posted 5/12/2016 10:24 PM (GMT 0)
antifungals and anti-yeast is only kills the yeast and bad bacteria. It doesn't directly fix anything (it's part of the equation).

Diet doesn't directly "repair" the gut either (once again a part of the equation).

You need to take things that actually repair the actual gut directly and the good bacterial/bad bacteria imbalance. Anti-fungals and diet definitely aids in not making things worse, but a very good high quality probiotic, glutamine, bone broth (or bone broth supps), aloe vera, etc, actually repairs intestinal lining and restores balance over time.

But all things in conjunction is recommended.

Can you treat lyme and repair the gut at the same time. This I don't know and of course it's different for everyone since everyone's body is different and damage done to the gut is different.

This is actual the dilemma I have now. Can I find that balance of going after lyme and co (with abx and/or herbal) and still make progress repairing the gut.

The answer is probably a small yes. Both can probably be done, unfortunately, in slow increments of improvement over a long period of time. Because it's a double edge sword. You are taking things to kill lyme but you are also doing everything you can to protect the gut and replenish good bacteria that the abx and herbs are destroying.

Can you repair faster than the abx/herbs are destroying is the question.
