New to the board, here's what I'm working on

Hi, NEW HERE :)

like some, I spent more that a decade before finding out I had lyme, but happy to put a name to this and get to work.

I'm in Dallas, so a little bit frustrated at not finding a local LLMD. my regular doc reluctantly agreed to 21 days of doxy, he didn't even know how to read my Igenex report..

I'm sure I will find a doc, and can pack up and move if need be. I'm interested in a pulsed high dose IV approach given I think I have Neuro. I like the studies coming out with 3 week cycles.

I previously thought I had adrenal fatigue and was on a path to improve there so I have liposomal C, and had taken IV C + Gluthatione which helps.

My worst symptons,

Cognitive issues, and cognitive fatigue by early afternoon.
fatigue
mild dizziness 100% of the time
tinnitus


I'm reading Buhner's book, and I'm on board with his approach, but being new to Herbs and without having serious antibiotics yet, I am a little reluctant to start. I had already purchased Banderol/Samiento before picking up Buhner so I figured it couldn't hurt so started them and I'm at 8 drops x2d feeling a little better.

Here's what's core for me at the moment., until I start Buhner and / or get abx:

1) Undenatured protein shake (2 x d) with
1/4 tsp D-Ribose
1/2 tsp Mucuna Pruriens (Increases Dopamine)
1/4 tsp L-theanine
1/2 tsp Maca (low DHEA/T)

The mucuna/theanine combo helps my fog and energy, I only take that in the morning.

1mg NAC + 2g C 2 x d
1.5mg Tryptopan

8 drops Samento (increasing daily to 30)
8 drops Banderol (Increasing to 30)

10mg melotonin (before bed time)

Milk Thristle .

In addition to the supplements/herbals I started on a Keto diet (low carb, hi fat, med protein) and I'm eating liver twice a week.

I'm also thinking in trying Acupuncture if I find a good practitioner, aiming to improve/strengthen my Immune system.

I 'd appreciate your perspective on my approach and where does one get all these herbs in the Buhner protocol? I found montana pharmacy.

Anything specific that can help with tinnitus?

Thanks and sorry for the long post. :)

Thanks Girlie, I will wait until i get tinctures. Makes sense to have them separate.

I got some of my tinctures from hawaiipharm on amazon or directly through them. They are not in Buhner's recommendation list but they are fairly new. I liked how quickly they shipped to me and they were a fair price. Plus most were organic. You may need to find their Chinese name in order to find them on their order list.

Hu Zhang is Polygonum cuspidatum or Japanese Knotweed and Skullcap is Huang Qin for example...

Welcome here and happy healing.

I'm a little lost on detox, I have 3 mercury fillings and wanted to be careful how to detox without getting into mercury chelation. I was reading some of the horror stories from another post on filling removal..

but yes, I need to get that going pronto :)

Thanks Simon, yes I have Horowitz's book
