Success with treating Lyme and Bart

Some of you may recognize my username. I just want to post here so my experience can help others.

I started treating Lyme with Disulfiram in Oct 2019, completed four months now, and I received wonderful results.

In four months a dramatic shift occurred. All my Lyme and Bart symptoms are gone. I have been free of Lyme specific symptoms for over 2 months, in a state of remission. Paying close attention to my body, the changes the body went through, I am eager to say that I am cured, but time will tell. My doctor is also impressed by how I reacted to it, I am one of the successful cases in their practice, to showcase.

Doctor prescribed me 1 month of Dsf, 250mg 2x Daily, or 500mg daily.
I used that bottle in two rounds as I could tolerate it.
The first round of 3 weeks. started with 62.5mg 2x daily. Increased in as per body's indications.
First week 62.5mg 2x daily. Second week 125mg 2x daily. Third week 250mg 2x daily. Along with antibiotics.
At the end of 3 weeks, I immediately start A-bast, with a high dose, I did that for a week. That also gave me some herx reaction.

Just after 8 days of starting Dsf, the positive shift occurred, immune woke up, empowered, it felt like body is taking care of the business on its own. Had mild herx reaction, energy, and mental clarity returned. I did face some neuropathy type symptoms after 3 weeks, so I decided to be safe and stop. The idea of using A-bart right at the peak of Dsf effect was to take advantage of the woken up immune to take care of the Bart too. And it worked.
The symptoms of Lyme stayed away with some minor complaints, and Dsf neuropathy symptoms reduced over the next 3 weeks. From this point, I started to live a normal life, without need to antibiotics/antimicrobial, or any supplements.
During this week, we performed a few tests - the Lyme PCR test came negative. GI map stool test showed no leaky gut. The leaky gut that I was trying to fix for 4 years automatically got fixed. Apathy went away. Energy, normal metabolism came back. Cognition came back.

After a break of 3 - 4 weeks. I decide to do another round and use up remaining disulfiram. Same as above. It made things even better.

Probably the reason behind this effective reaction to Dsf is that my other issues were identified and treated in advance. I successfully got rid of the parasite and worked on retroviruses. So I came well-prepped for Dsf. Things happened in proper order for me.

Now since Bb, Bart is gone, and without their symptoms. I am actually able to realize the damage that has done to the body. Now I am heading into the healing stage to reverse the damage occurred from many years.




Thanks

So glad to hear you are doing so well and that your plan was right on. That's awesome!

Can you say a bit more about the damage you are hoping to reverse? A common theme on this forum is how do people tell that their remaining symptoms are from active infections as opposed to damage.

How did you identify that parasites were an issue for you and treat them? How about retroviruses?

Really great news. Thanks so much for sharing.

Answering all -

My health issues started in 2013. After many doctors and theories, I was diagnosed with Lyme in 2017.
First for more than a year I took the naturopathic approach. It didn't do much. Wasted time and money.
For a parasite, after trying natural, and pharmaceutical drugs for years. Finally, HOCl did the job.
For retroviruses, Truvada and GcMaf worked.
Before starting Disulfiram, I did antibiotics for 5 months. Cycled 6 different antibiotics in a pair.

As to symptoms - I did not have typical joint symptoms. I never had joint issues. My Lyme resided in the gallbladder, in the bladder and CNS. My primary symptoms were neurological/neuro Lyme, depression/apathy/cognition issues, fatigue, low energy, and digestive problems.

The damage that is left -
I have cardiovascular issues. Many years of inflammation and high cholesterol driven by Bb, parasite infections and metabolic issues has caused blood circularion issues, endothelial/epithelial dysfunction from Bart. I get dizziness, head pressure/congestion, chest congestion symptoms because of this. I have very poor stamina, poor endurance, erectile dysfunction. Even the lymph pathways congested. Feel the need to decongest, detox, drain everything.

Neurological damage, peripheral, hand feet nerves damaged. Eyes' nerves damaged, and tinnitus, Dopamine pathway damaged.
Other things - aging skin, loss of muscle mass.


It will take long time, months, years to repair this.

That’s incredible. So happy for you and thank you so much for sharing all this with us.

“The idea of using A-bart right at the peak of Dsf effect was to take advantage of the woken up immune to take care of the Bart too. And it worked. ”

- That’s very interesting. Was this the doctor’s idea or something you added on your own?

“The leaky gut that I was trying to fix for 4 years automatically got fixed.”

- Wow! That’s truly incredible. So this was confirmed via testing. Did you have symptoms related to leaky gut. Did the symptoms resolve? That seems like a very short time period to resolve leaky gut - 3 weeks of DSF. Did you make any other changes during that time that would have contributed to this other than the DSF, abx, abart?

It clicked in my head so I described the doctor the dramatic change the body and immune are going through. Then the doctor asked me to take A-Bart and I decided on the timing.
After the first three weeks of dsf body started to take care of the remaining infections, I could feel the activity in my lymph and certain changes happening and day by day I started waking up with fewer symptoms.
I did not take anything else. Just Dsf, and A-Bart for the bugs. Dr. R (the Dsf doctor) said that after Dsf the remaining infections will be taken care of by the immune, he is correct, that is what happened to in my case. He told me to give it three months for all bugs to be cleared.
Multiple tests I performed after three weeks of Dsf and during the gap of three weeks, all of them show good signs.
My Vit D before Dsf was 31ng/ml it got dropped to 19ng/ml after Dsf. Much of it got used by the immune doing its job after Dsf.
Borrelia PCR, Bart PCR both came back negative.
Cholesterol dramatically dropped.
GI maps Zonulin antibody number was always used to be high for the last 4 years, the first time it got dropped. It was 178. Dropped to 87. My GI symptoms are not completely gone, I have some dysbiosis from use of antibiotics, I have some opportunistic bacteria growth. It takes three months for the body to come back to normal food and immune reactions after the removal of any triggers from GI issues. The gallbladder was infected by Bb, gallbladder started paining from the time of the incident of Lyme infection and it stopped after Dsf use. It completely makes sense, since Bb was infecting my gallbladder so was my GI was disturbed from it, the dysfunctional gallbladder will cause leaky gut, IBS. All those improved after Bb got removed from the gallbladder.
