Thanks, dbwilco!



i'm wondering why I haven't heard about Dr. S P before?

This is my LLMD and he is not only brilliant and a real champion for us but he is also one of us. He had a very serious Bartonella infection that left him unable to walk for two years. He didn't leave his house for a year and a half and had to shut down his practice. He took every abx and combo and many herbals to treat himself. The book he is writing will have his story - really compelling.

wow,interesting

Dr S P has been featured on news and very well known. He also did interview for huff post.

I edited the posts - as we use initials only for the LLMD's except for the very well-known ones - like Dr. Horowitz.


Octobrsky - He was treating bart and was still unable to walk for two years? or was that prior to treating it?


I guess he didn't mention what abx actually worked for his bart? We have to read the book? I wanna know now....lol

He was unable to walk prior to treating. It took a year and a half of very aggressive treatment and he gradually improved. I knew about his serious back issues and that he had to close his practice for two years before I saw him but he just told me at my last appointment that it was a Bart infection. He's so humble - wants appointments to be about the patient so he doesn't talk about his own experience. I've always said that talking to him was like talking to another Lyme patient because he just "gets it". Now I know why!

He did say that Bactrim, liposomal art and liposomal oil of oregano were the most helpful but said he has a cabinet full of herbs and nothing really worked for him but that he understands how different every case is and so treatment has to be tailored to the patient. He is the most patient centered doctor, open minded - very unique. I feel really blessed to have gotten in to see him in 3 months. He isn't taking new patients now because of a research project.

So I would urge everyone to follow his (and Dana Parish's - another compelling story) FB page and the live q&a tomorrow night. Ask your questions. He loves to help.

Sorry - I mean none of the other herbals worked for him.

Bactrim and Rifampin got him back out of bed...but even after months on it, his largest herx was when he later introduced Artemisinin....he's no longer taking new patients and is involved with writing a book and doing medical research to find something better to treat lyme and co-infections....

Girlie, i definitely understand, and appreciate editing the names...

So, who is Dana Parish? I know she had lyme and Dr. P. treated her...but is there any more background to why she and Dr. P. have teamed up together?


I wish they would have answered some more questions....


Interested Dr. P. said no pulsing of Rifampin...and it should be taken 600 mg once daily.
The reason for now pulsing wasn't because of resistance...but because of a hypersensitivity that could develop.

He sounds like a great LLMD! Not only knowledgeable, but sounds compassionate as well..and having had Lyme disease - he knows what we're going through as well.

This tells me he had both protozoal and fungal infections. I'd be willing to bet his problems were similar to mine. It's not babesia, it's something else.

what though?

Yes. I'd like to know, too.

Georgia Hunter,
If you don't mind, I'd like to hear your story. I haven't heard it before. I just know you're really smart and have a unique understanding of science that's mostly over my head

This is the best I could find. It doesn't say much about 2008 but that one put me down pretty bad. I think I'll do a write up on my story. I've written the background chapter for my book, and since I don't hunt anymore, I guess I should write up my story. That's the easy stuff to write.
