Abx resistance confirmed by scientists

I skimmed through the article. Where does it mention that ABX makes these infections stronger?

A statement like that suggests lymies on ABX will never get well, which is false.

Note to all: Just because some lymies here and there seem to be treating for many years does not mean that is everyones case.

The new info about disulfiram is certainly good to hear though.

Even when people have had success it has taken many years.

(Edit: I just cleaned up some confusing parts

Not always though, your reading from someone who had this for decades and seen positive changes after 14 months of ABX.

I was also very dedicated in supporting body systems (suppliments and Rx if needed) that were affected. Did this "support" a little before, then much more during ABX, less after ABX, and way less last two years, thats what my FMD LLMD believed in.

Not here, but face to face I have met people who did minimal "self state of health investigation", and continue to do mostly ABX nonstop it seems. With very little improvement.

The worse cases are what you hear about more, which is only natural.

Note - yes long term abx do damage - that’s a fact.


BUT - not treating the infections (or treating them ineffectively can (and do) even more damage.

I don’t think it’s been a secret that there is antibiotic resistance...


This is one reason why the lyme docs prescribe more than one antibiotic at a time to treat... it is supposed to prevent that from happening.

Yes Astroman - You are an example of someone who DID get well.
Thanks for posting - and adding some positivity - we need that!

Guess I should ditch the Rifampin prescription then...all the warnings the pharmacist gave me for that already scared the crap out of me

holy sheesh i just realized i posted the wrong webpage!!! sorry about that but the one i did post is a great primer on Disulfiram and a good read for those who are first learning about it. note they have science backed lab results that it totally eradicates lyme and its persister form.

i'll post the actual article i meant to in another thread. sorry!

Oh definitely worth a try!!!

I may be asking my LLMD for it (I’m not above begging ) if I don’t get rid of my last couple of symptoms in the next couple of months.

I’m out of patience -

It's something you can buy online and it costs barely anything.

I don't know what it equates to in Canadian dollars, but I can get 120 of the 250mg pills for £50 including delivery!

I know what you mean about running out of patience. I've reached the end of mine too.

=======================
You’re at the end of your patience?
I thought you were just beginning - have you been treating ?

ADC doesn’t ship to Canada. 😩

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Who or what is ADC?

I don't know who that is. I have found a site where I can buy disulfiram, but I've never heard of them.

/:/:::::::::::::::::::::::::

Lol ADC is AllDayChemist - it’s an online pharmacy that some forum members use to get meds. (No prescription required)

I dont know of anywhere in Canada to get it.

Although my LLMD would prob be willing to prescribe it.

I think they may require a prescription .
Not sure it really is a Canadian Site

No - I’m only familiar with ADC

Girlie: pharmacist said it's super powerful and that it could make some of my other meds less effective/not work correctly. He said I should see if I could find an alternative.
