Do I need a test for coinfections?
I got Lyme (tick bite, ras, etc) and was tested negative for Babesia.
I assume I got the regular coctail of Co.
My persistent symptoms through the large part of 31/2 years after infection are:
- intermitent air hunger - some days 4-5 times, some weeks 0
- lower body UT discomfort - was treated for prostatitis in 2014, sperm tested negative for microbes
- slight bells palsy - I thought I was just getting older and only aknowledged it a month ago but it was there for more than a year
Other symtoms I had in various periods:
- dizzyness
- speech hesitation
- irritation
- sleep problems - 6 hours max is the norm
- ribs pain - just at the lower end
- heart area spasms - some days i have 1-2 spasms, but rarely, my ECG, BP, pulse all normal
A month ago some new symptoms appeared/old reappeared:
- cheeks/face discomfort - like they are pressed
- jaws discomfort - for a short period
- speech hesitation, words searhing - I used to have it in the past for some time
- heart area spasm - again rarely
- tinnitus - I have otosclerosis so plenty tinnitus before Lyme but had a case of different one for a day or two
Others I get occasionally but rarely, with no patterns - a pain here and there - toe, muscle pain, etc.
The latest I fear the most is speech hesitation. I have to speek slowly and measure my words. Some words I have dificulty pronouncing correctly so I have to use simpler constructions.
It is not so noticable now ( I can still do my job) but I am afraid it will get worse.

I have no doctor, no abx now, so I follow Buhner protocol:
- tincture Sida acuta 1:5 25% - 1/2 tsp 3xday, for Babesia
- Hu Zhang concentrated powder Polygonum cuspidatum 5:1 - 1/4 ltsp 3xday, about 1,8 gr x day, for Lyme
- Cat's Claw bark powder Uncaria tormentosa - 1 ltsp 3xday, about 7,5 gr x day, for Lyme
- Yu Xing Cao concentrated powder Houttuynia cordata 5:1 - to be added, for Barts
- Ginseng root - Siberian powder Eleutherococcus senticosus - to be added, for Lyme
- Andrographis herb powder Andrographis paniculata - to be added, for Lyme
- Milk Thistle seed powder Carduus marianus - to be added, for Barts
- Hawthorn berry tincture Crataegus oxyacanthoides 1:3 45% - to be added, for Barts
- Cordyceps tincture Cordyceps sinensis 1:3 25% - to be added, for neuro Lyme
- Dan Shen tincture Salvia miltiorrhiza 1:3 45% - to be added, for neuro Lyme
- Han Fang Ji tincture Stephania tetrandra 1:3 25% - to be added, for Bells Palsy
- Ge Gen tincture Pueraria lobata 1:5 25% - to be added, for neuro Lyme
- Cryptolepis root tincture Cryptolepis sanguinolenta 1:2 50% - to be added, for Babesia
- Christmas Bush Leaf tincture Alchornea cordifolia 1:2 50% - to be added, for Babesia
- Serrapeptase 80.000iu - to be added, for Mycoplasma

anti prasitic
- Cloves - ground Eugenia caryophyllata
- Pau D'arco bark powder Tabebuia impeteginosa
- Oriental Wormwood powder Artemisia annua
- Olive leaf powder Olea europea
- Black walnut hull powder Juglans nigra

Today I started taking active charcoal to boost detoxing - 8 am I get all herbs, I have a 6 hour windows before eating so 11 am AC, 5 pm herbs, 0 am herbs.

WOW, what a list! And there are still herbs to be added but I will refrain for now. Credit card needs rest.

Ok, I just needed to write all this up.
Do I need to test for Co or just go and throw herbs at them?

You have obviously done your research. Good on you. From where I stand it looks good to me.
You will be challenging the bugs enough for the time being. Probably their will be some Viruses there. I found bioressonance very good for a getting a good diagnosis of what bugs are there. An electrodermal screening machine can pick up the frequency of all active bugs in your system. Its a good way of clarifying what you need to treat. Look for a naturopath with a Bioresonance machine, a Biocom or Vega. A good naturopath with this kind of machine can pinpoint anything you might need to know - like organ support, heavy metal poisoning, immune resistance, nutritional deficiencies and allergies. This can help you adapt your healing strategy and make it more efficient so you are meeting the needs of your body. I go to them only for the occasional tests to see where I am at and what is working.
I am also taking some products to break down biofilms and to tackle the cyst form of Borrelia. No point in killing them if they have places to hide in the body. As Buhner seems to suggest you want to hit them from all sides and hit them hard. Success is 50% killing protocol and 50% immune support. So thats detoxing, giving your body the organ support it needs, removing metals, allergies and anything else that taxes the immune system and supporting yourself with good food, good thoughts, rest and clean water. You probably know all this as you have come up with a very considered approach. You are making very good choices. All the best with your healing journey.

You asked about testing for the co-infections.

Many LLMD's don't test...they will diagnose clinically by symptoms...and also by reaction to certain herbs/abx.

There are even more false negatives for Babesia and Bartonella than lyme.

It depends on whether you want to spend the money. It's up to you.

You've got quite a protocol there. I suggest that you don't add all those 'to be added' all at once.

Keep us posted and let us know how you do on these.
