My symptoms become almost unbearable during a full moon including pressure in my brain, weird mental symptoms, feeling wired, insomnia. Is this due mainly to parasites or is it sometimes just lyme? I have read where this symptom has been attributed to both lyme and parasites. I have 3 negative western blots, but respond to antimicrobials. Has anybody completely eliminated parasites and still had these flares during the full moon?

Hi Texaslime,

I cant answer the parasite issue, but I do know others have an increase of symptoms during full moon.

Yes your symptoms sound like they are related to Lyme and co.

If you are using herbals, Buhner suggests for neuroborreiosis(neuro issues with lyme and co) to use
Uncaria rhynchophylla.

For brain pressure: Kudzu

You also might want to re-post and specifically ask traveler questions about this I believe she has used Kudzu with success.

Take care Jo

LOL! Yes, Jo, I have been using the Kudzu root with success!

Texaslime, yes, it's really fairly common for those with Lyme and company/parasites to have their symptoms increase during a full moon, and sometimes even during the New moon.


I didn't have a positive test until I had completed 12 months of treatment for Lyme, so a negative test means nothing if you have symptoms and respond to Lyme treatments.

The thing to do is to recognize that you have more trouble during full moons (and new moons if that applies) and to lower your activities a few days before, so you can rest more, and to increase your detoxing during those times.

Traveler: What exactly did you treat and how did you treat it (which antibiotics/herbs did you use for which bug) before you had a positive test? And by test, I am assuming you had a Negative Western Blot that turned positive?

It would be absolutely fantastic if I could get some kind of positive result. I am treating parasites first using the simon yu 6 week protocol, so hopefully it is JUST parasites

both would be my guess
did dr yu give you this protocol?

Yes, I had only band 41 show up for the first two WB's.

We just started treating Lyme and I was treated simply with Minocycline when I used abx. 12 months of it because I could never come out of the severe herx that it created for me, and my LLMD didn't know what to do with me.

I finally called it quits, right after I had a fully positive WB by LabCorp. I had begun to have seizures, as well as severe anxiety, and serious paranoia (which further developed into severe paranoia for a few months, as well as other issues).

That's when I turned to herbs, and tons of detoxing.

Some have had success in getting a positive test by using Olive Leaf extract, Oil of Oregano, deep tissue massages just before testing, and rebounding.
