I can't seem to find what helps Collegen support that Buhner recommends. Does anyone have suggestions for this? Sometimes my left hip area gets real weak where I can't even walk esp when I am herxing and think this may be what I need. thank you

I've recently started taking Great Lakes Collagen..

I have read the Vitamin C is also good.

I'm not sure what all Buhner recommends.

I have my book at home. If no one else responds, I'll let you know his full Collagen protocol when I get home.

oh, so there are just pills that have straight up Collegan to take? I will look those up thank you.

Yeah, in his book, and online its real vague- like he talks about it a lot and how important it is, but I can't find anywhere what to take for it =/

Page 210 in the Healing Lyme book states there are a number of things that can help from a " gelatin supplement to selenium to bone broth soup. Kudzu (Pueria lobata) is also very helpful." I take hydrolyzed collagen from Protein Essentials 2 scoops in my decaf coffee every morning (thank you, PeteZa).

The Great Lake Collagen is a powder . I stir it into water.


There is another brand, that others on here are recommending now.

Here is the one I bought;

Collagen support/arthritis

Dear Stephen,
I have had lyme for 3 years. I started your core protocol about 6 weeks ago and have been adding in your expanded protocol as well for my specific issues. I was wondering what herbs/supplements you would recommend I take for collagen and arthritic support. Do I need to take each product mentioned in your book for each of these issues? I feel that I have lyme in my left side…hip, knee and ankle. Thank you for your reply and thank you for being so gracious all these years and responding to these emails.


Stephen’s response:
Teasel, glucosamine sulfate, biosil, vitamin c, pregnenolone.

Peel the membrane from the inside of organic/best you can buy eggs...yes, raw. The inner membrane of the shell is almost a perfect match for human Type 1 collagen. May as well down the raw egg too...all your vitamins and amino acids with the exception of vitamin C. 2 raw eggs a day has helped reduce my wife's pain pretty significantly. Raw eggs have also regulated her monthly cycle which used to be all over the place...not sure if it was the eggs or what but ever since she started eating raw organic eggs it's been spot on every 4 weeks.

Did I do that^ right?

The peeled membrane is pretty tough to chew btw so we chop it up with a knife and down it along with the raw egg...cooking denatures the cholesterol, collagen etc...ruining the nutritional value. Very, very small chance of salmonella so recommend you wash the egg with warm soapy water/rinse well and away you go.

I'm a little confused by what you mean with the inner membrane.. do you eat the shell too? Or just crack the egg and pour the contents in a cup?

Like summer 16 said I take this one and have for a couple of years. I like it because I can add it to anything and it does not change the taste of the original thing. So, every morning I have a cup of coffee and in it goes. It mixes super well with just a couple of swirls of a spoon and it has no added taste.

It is 13g of protein, no fat, no carbs and low sodium. 100% pasture raised beef, non GMO, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. All the amino acids you could want.

I do mine in coffee, hubby puts his in a smoothie. It doesn't matter how you use it. My hair grows amazingly and my nails too. I get mine from either this site or Amazon. I check out the price difference as it can change on both places.
