Fighting Bartonella with Herbs who has done it, or is doing it?

Has anyone seen extreme improvement with their Bartonella symptoms to the point of it almost being gone with Herbs?

Little Background most of my symptoms are almost all neurological, I would say all are. I have no joint pain no fevers no headaches.

What I do have is Nerve damage, Tingling in my arms and hands. Burning Feet, my legs feel like they are cold but they are not to the touch, White matter lesions, depression, anxiety, anger that fluctuate so much it's horrible.

Well here's the situation i've posted on before, My WBC can't handle antibiotics that well and I was wondering who is battling this co-infection naturally. I feel that my Bartonella is way overpowering my Lyme. Tried doxy had to stop cause of WBC, Tried Septra had to stop cause of WBC, Tried minocycline had to stop WBC, Ceftriaxone IV is what I'm on currently but I'm not sure if its attacking Bart, I'm also pulsing Alinia but its also dropping my WBC. But overall I do not think Ceftriaxone and Alinia attack bart correct me if im wrong just looking into my options

What herbs are you taking , and if you know what they do could you type it in only if your not busy and can type fast :P. I am currently on pretty much 0 herbs. What are must have herbs for you guys.


I Greatly appreciate your help this battle is very tough and I pray for all of us.

PS sorry this is so long :/

Hi Nate(?)

I'm glad you posted -

Ceftriaxone IV won't do much for bart.

Also - I just met with my neurologist, who confirmed that most neurological symptoms/pain are caused by inflammation, which agitates the nerves. So, try zeroing in on anti-inflammatory protocols to see if that provides you relief.

I'm currently taking for inflammation:
japanese knotweed
omega 3
wobenzyme plus

and superior detoxing is also quite helpful to relieve inflammation.

Bart is a crazy beast. I am just beginning to dig into my bart journey but will share what I know:

I started my treatment by healing GI, supporting immune system, tackling a yeast/fungal overgrowth and lowering my viral load. This took MONTHS. Glad I did - don't think I'd still be here right now had I started lyme & co treatment before getting to a better stage of health to start with.

I started on Byron White herbs - AL-Complex (lyme), A-Bart and A-babs. I had no luck w/ AL-complex and tried a few other herbal antimicrobials and got nowhere while my ability to walk was quickly fading. LLMD put me on IV Rocephin (ceftriaxone), which helped tremendously with the joint pain. Many other sx remained but knocking them out one by one.

Byron White's A-Babs gave me a lot of good herxing at first but I soon realized I was trying to treat too much, too fast. I'm no longer on it.

Byron White's A-Bart also gave me some good herxes in the beginning (diarrhea, leg spasms, shin pain, bone pain, lesions on shins/knee/lower back/abdomen). But the biggest problem I had, which took me quite a while to figure out is that it was causing these horrible GI attacks (hours of wrenching, pulsating pain throughout my entire torso that would end in projectile vomiting).

I finally had to stop taking the A-bart and now on Vancomycin IV for bart. I had IMMEDIATE relief of my entire torso (it's like it has been in a vise for years). And slow improvement of bone pain and muscle spasms, aches. I had trouble with my port a couple days last week and went w/out 5 doses of the vanco, and all hell broke loose - I suffered tremendous psycho-neuro, insomnia, muscle spasms herxing. It was horrible and scary and I quickly upped my brain detox and luckily got back on the vanco.

Eventually, I want to transition back onto A-Bart--for me, I think it hits the bart more broadly but body couldn't handle any A-bart in the beginning and it can't handle too much right now. I think the vanco is helping me at a good pace right now.Hopefully someday I can "graduate".

Hope this is helpful -

I'm another one using herbs only. I healed Bart once with the Chronic Tonic (used for Lyme) and Houttuynia. I was reinfected, so I'm back on that combination and doing better. I will type out the herbs and their actions tomorrow, but wanted to say that much tonight!

I did Buhner's core protocol and added Houttuynia cordata and am doing really well.
