Change the way you look at this. Finding out what you need to treat means you know how to treat it!! Your thoughts should change from "Oh no, what NOW?" to "Now I know what I need to do to heal!"

How much do your symptoms match up with yeast/fungal issues? If it pretty well describes some of your issues, then treating those things now will not only help you heal easier, without risking systemic fungal issues that are very severe, but that you can get back to healing what is causing all of these malfunctions in the body - your tick borne infections.

And I am far from the only one that has healed well with herbs only - not to even mention all those that have healed by other alternative medicine protocols like BVT, Homeopathics, Essential Oils, and others. There are some people that really do need to use pharma abx and herbs to heal, but when all is said and done, we each have our own path to walk.

I know Traveler. I seem to be walking on glass:-) Guess I'll order my CSA and deal with whatever I need to do with yeast when I can get to it. I don't know if yeast even IS any issue, never heard of it till Bluelyme's post. When I Googled yeast for men it has symtoms exactly like Bart so I may never ever even know

Mike, there home tests you can buy at the pharmacy to test for yeast. And, I am pretty sure Amazon has them. There is also a home test -- Not super reliable, but might give you a clue:

The saliva home test is one of the widely used methods to detect yeast infection in males as well as females. This test has to be conducted first thing in the morning, after waking up, even before brushing the teeth, or having breakfast. Take a glass of water and spit into it. Keep it aside for around fifteen minutes. If you have yeast infection, the water will turn cloudy or the saliva will develop strings that travel to the bottom of the glass. If the saliva floats on the water or disappears eventually, you can rule out the possibility of yeast infection. But if it sinks to the bottom of the glass, then there is a chance of an infection. Even if the home saliva test indicates an infection, you have to confirm it by undergoing clinical tests.


I think you should start there.

Lyme, sometimes feels like we are always starting something. Either starting something new because something else didn't work or we are starting a new herb because it is time to add in another.

Thank you Petza. OK, I can spit with the best of em and will order one of EVERYTHIN on herbs :-)

I can do this. Well sorta, I THINK.....

Here's the gist of it:
3 cups of leafy greens (cooked or raw)
3 cups of colored foods (veg & fruit)
3 cups of sulfur foods (onion, cabbage, mushrooms, etc)
Grass fed meat and organ meats
no gluten, organic only (food/personal care products)
seaweed for iodine (chelation of lead, mercury)
exercise - she did some type of muscle stimulation bc could not really exercise
eliminate stress (meditate)

She saw results in 3 months. I think in a year major transformation. I didn't know what a TED talk was before all this junk either.

I will tell you this - I don't think it is a good idea to order all your herbs now. Here is why:

What if you heal before you get to the last herb? Wasted money. How do I know this? True story, happened to me.

I went gung-ho ordering when I first got lyme and I have some tinctures that I have never opened. I am saving them in a cool dark place, just in case I should relapse or get re-infected (Please no God!).

Another reason is you want to "try" a little bottle to see if it works for you. What if you are allergic? You have only wasted the cost of a little bottle and not the huge economy size (which just became not so economical).

Just a few hints from this Helpful Heloise. LOL!

Yeah I thought of this but the Sida Acuta did nothing to me even when I got confused and took 3 FULL eyedroppers full instead of the "so called full dose of 30 "drops". The other two, well I figures why not live a little? But I DO hear you. I sure don't see me healing all of a sudden given where I am now however? But again, do hear ya.

Thank you so much. Uh, an I supposed to eat ALL of this in one sitting? Or is it an entire day's worth or? Looks OH SO TASTY too! Could I just juice it all and drink it? Then kill myself? (just KIDDING!) I think?

When you have any disease....alchool is no no.
I used to have one beer a day. And a 4 oz glass of wine every so often. Than something happened where the wine was giving me too much of a buzz and I would wake up with gigantic hungover migraines. For that little drinking....so here you go....I stopped all that ...because it was effecting my running in the morning and I was too tired.

It was also giving me premature wrinkles....

Never missed it. It is truly only a state of mind.

That's all day. It's really not hard! Smoothie and juicing is easy way to get a lot in. I was overwhelmed at first though too. This lifestyle definitely takes more work!

I would aslo imagine the fruits are likely supposed to be the kind with minimal sugar as well? In other words, no watermelon or really FUN stuff? (just checking)

Believe it or not, watermelon is listed with berries as being of the lowest in sugar.


Here's just one link to back me up.

Mike,

Hi! I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. I haven't been on for several days. Lyme/Yeast-candida, et al, can be a very steep learning curve. The good news is that if you are pretty much on a lyme diet you are on your way to treating the yeast as well. I understand you missing beer. My guess is that it is more of a desire to feel normal and to stop keeping a constant vigil on oneself. Like when we daydream of our pre-Lyme life. Do you like komboucha? If you pour some in a frosted mug it may just make you feel better. It's good for the gut and it feels like a treat for me. I also drink my herbs in a wine glass. It makes my husband laugh. Especially since I pretty much chug them. You can do this Mike, I know you want to feel better and you are the most determined person. I know that by the way you went warrior on taking the herbs. You've got this! My father, who passed way to early and drank way too much in his youth, told me "Nothing good ever comes from drinking." May be a few parents out there who disagree, but... (bad joke).

Yes I am fiinding that to be true on everything except where to get antibiotics "online". I have asked publicly, by "top secret" emails, got NOTHIN. Don't believe they actually exist except for the shadiest looking websites I EVER saw offering them. I have found MUCH more professional **** sites to be honest:-). (Wait, did I just say that out loud?)
