brain inflammation?

Yes, Lyme and company can cause brain inflammation. There are many articles on this. If you would like to see some, be sure to ask.

Brain Deflame™ ingredients include: organic and/or wildcrafted essential oils of Ginger, Blue Yarrow, Cumin, Roman Chamomile, Cardamom, Bay Rum, Juniper, and Spikenard in a base of organic jojoba oil.

It seems like it might be a good product, but I just take both turmeric and ginger orally and get the same effect - and for a lot less money.

Agree w/ the previous posts. Also, gut health is also important for brain function and to reduce brain-type symptoms. Remember the gut-brain connection (science found blood vessels connecting the two, proving what most of us knew all along) so it's important that your GI is healthy. Make sure you're also detoxing gut - a good diet and a good binder is important.

In no particular order...

Daisies--HBOT? Sorry I don't know that one.

Traveler, I am also taking turmeric & ginger. My memory just seems to be getting worse. I don't know how people function when they need to remember things. Memory is really important! I used to have a photographic memory & my spelling was impeccable. Now.... <sigh>

Pirouette--I am actually going to be doing a gut cleanse & detox, & brush up my food intake to be more strict so as to starve out candida.

Girlie--thank you for the suggestions. I will look into those ideas. They sound hopeful.

It does depend on the dose though - right now, I'm taking high doses of ginger and turmeric to deal with brain inflammation due to the use of an immune booster (agitation and aggression comes out), so I'm taking 3,000 mgs 3 times a day right now of each turmeric and ginger. I do watch for signs that I'm taking too much (like too easily bruising) and have yet to see any signs of it.

I do need to say though, that previously when I would try to raise my dose of turmeric (without the brain inflammation going on) I would bruise much too easily, and it was rectified by lowering my dose. So when I choose to raise it up again, I was very cautiously watching for the bruising, but it hasn't happened - and yet my agitation and aggression is much lower. This makes life so much easier!!

The other thing is that you need to be doing enough detoxing for your body. What's causing the brain inflammation is the toxins, so to prevent it and to have a lasting effect, your body must be detoxing well also.
