Hello,
For about 4 months i have been taking the bottled Chronic Tonic and bottled CSA, with 1 tsp 2x/day powdered JK, Houtunnia, Andrographis, and Cats Claw. I just started Oil of Oregano pills 2x/day for parasites. Should i change anything or stay with this? My LLMD thinks i have babs, bart, lyme (probably for many years) and c diff. My main symptoms are extreme fatigue and vertigo, reclusiveness, teeth pain. Thank you.

How is your skin? Any signs of crepe skin? If so, you need a collagen supplement.

I don't know what is in Chronic Tonic but are you doing any cytokine remodulation? Red Sage and Skullcap would be what I suggest.

Other than that, just stick with the program and do not slack up. Detox too.

What are you doing for the C Difficile?

You must have diarrhea?

My LLMD put me on nystatin for the suspected c diff, but it made it 10x worse, so she took me off. What is anyone else using?

Buhner thinks sida acuta is important for both babs and bart, so I would add that.

The CSA should have Sida Acuta in it..does this treat c diff?

CSA does not treat c diff.

According to Buhner - Cryptolepis is part of the C-difficile treatment. CSA has Crypto

Not sure I would rely on herbs if you have an active C-dif infection...but might be good to take prophylactically

if you are able I would suggest you get Stephen Buhner's 2nd edition "healing Lyme" there are two suggested protocols/herbals for Fatigue and long term fatigue.

I would also check out Uncaria Rhynchophylla, Tryptophan and vit C


Take care, Jo

PeteZa, I recently read somewhere that supplementation of collagen is a good idea if you have Lyme disease so I noticed your comment above. I definitely have the crepe skin issue. I picked up some collagen yesterday but am not sure how much to use. The directions say 10 grams a day but I'm wondering if someone ravaged with Lyme and coinfections might need more. How much collagen do you take daily?

This is the collagen I take - /www.proteinessentials.com/hydrolyzed-collagen-peptide-powder-unflavored-1lb-p/cpehc101.htm Only we get the 2 lb bag.

I take 14 grams a day, but I worked up to this! I did not notice any changes as I moved up and may have been able to go straight to the 14 grams. However the bag advised me to start with half the recommended dose to start, so I did that.

When I had full blown lyme I did both this powder and I also did Biosil. Biosil is very pricey. I only did this for about 4 months because it is so very costly. When I quit the Biosil, I did not notice anything was missing. Which made me think it was not working???? But who knows what was going on inside me. I just had such crepe skin and collagen helps in so many areas.

However, test it with a low dose first. You want to make sure you are not allergic to it. Just like you do anything. Check the calcium content also. Make sure you are not getting too much calcium if you are also taking another source of calcium.

Thanks PeteZa! I took 10 grams yesterday and feel fine today. (Relatively, lol) I haven't been taking calcium so that's not an issue. I hope it helps.
