Hi! My doctor recommended that I try VitalGuard Supreme from Supreme Nutrition Products as an antimicrobial. I've looked it up, and I've also found Golden Thread Supreme from the same company on...
Thank you all so much for your replies! :) ItisLyme, I've looked at your blog and signed up for updates by e-mail. It's good to hear what your experience has been! Heather's Dad, thanks for all that...
Hello there! I am seriously considering going to the Hansa Centre to get treatment for my chronic Lyme, bartonella, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and typhus. I also have immune problems, candida, and...
Hello everyone! As the title of this post implies, I have some very persistent oral and intestinal candida. I have tried a lot of things to try to get rid of it, but I haven't been able to get rid of...
Hello everyone! I am about to schedule an appointment with my Naturopath to do an IonCleanse detox footbath. I have trouble detoxifying, and I am hoping that this will help! Does anyone else have...
Traveler-- I am going to start taking things for my adrenals that the latest specialist I saw recommended-- pantothenic acid, vitamin C, and I am going to try other B vitamins, too (just not folate,...
Currently, the only things that I am taking to kill infections (besides the things I am taking for my candida) are the tiny speck of Cat's Claw and Knotweed powder. I'm not on any antibiotics or...
Hi again, Thanks to all of you for wanting to help! I finally have some time to type out some more information, so here goes: My main symptoms include brain fog, fatigue, dissociation, confusion,...
Thanks for your kind responses. I will get back to you with more details about my treatments in a few days, when I have time to write it out. :)...
Hello everyone, You might remember me from previous posts. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease about a year ago by an LLND, and have since also seen an LLMD. I have gotten worse over this past year,...
Hi, I e-mailed my LLMD, and she told me to double the dose to 1 million units, 4 times per day. I have started this dose, and I seem to be herxing mildly. This is a good sign-- it means that I am...
Hi, Okay, I'll measure it. However, when I asked the pharmacist two weekends ago if I could measure it myself in 1/8 tsp, she told me that the amount of Nystatin in 1/8 tsp of the powder from their...
I have both candida and a white "film" on my tongue. The candida cannot be scraped off, but the film can be scraped away. My naturopath said that the white film is indicative of liver congestion. The...
Dancingbear*: I got a prescription for the pure powder, and the compounding pharmacy I went to agreed to put them into veggie capsules for me so that I wouldn't have to measure it out. I'm not sure...
I have not herxed yet. The first couple times I took it I had a "mouldy", extra-tired feeling afterwards, but I have not had that happen since then. I have ramped up my Nystatin dosage to 1 capsule...
I am a vegan, too! For breakfast, I make a green smoothie with a lemon, 2 cups of raw leafy greens, some cinnamon, ginger, and SunWarrior Warrior Blend protein powder, with chia seeds, cacao nibs,...
Hello, I just started taking Nystatin powder for severe intestinal candida and occasional thrush. I just took about 1/8 of a 500,000 unit capsule after lunch today. I herx very easily, and so I am...
Hi, Thanks to both of you for your replies. Now I have a better understanding of what else might work, and how the adrenal glands and the immune system are related. I'm going to see an LLMD for the...
Hi there, I have adrenal fatigue, and I'm confused about it. :confused: I've heard that high adrenal function can cause a weak immune system, and low adrenal function can cause inflammation. I...
How interesting! I've been wondering recently if energy healing actually works. I'll be interested to hear what happens! Personally, I go weekly to a chiropractor who practices Network Spinal...
Okay, thanks, Margaret! I've just started looking into getting some magnesium citrate. Thanks for the detox instructions, Traveler!...
Hi Traveler, Thanks, it would be great to know what the gentle detox involves!...
Hi bluebyyou, Actually, I haven't spoken to her about it. It seems that she is not giving me the kind of help that I am looking for, so I'm doing some research etc. on my own....
Hi Traveler, Thanks for responding. I thought the activated charcoal pulled the toxins out through your digestive system (such as intestines)... According to one of the Naturopaths I've seen in the...
Hi there! I'm planning on starting to take activated charcoal to help me detoxify... but I have a few concerns first, and I'm wondering if people can help me out with them. 1) Does activated charcoal...
Bump :smile:...
Hi Margaret, Thanks, but I'm looking for people closer to home....
Hello, I live in Ottawa, but am unable to see the Lyme doctors in Ottawa for various reasons (one of them didn't work out for me, the others either have long waiting lists or are not accepting new...
By the way, I'd just like to thank Girlie and Traveler for being extra supportive! In response to Traveler's question, right now I'm doing: 1) Lemon juice in water every day (I also drink green...
Traveler, I've just got one more question: when you had issues with detoxing, how long did you have to do the gentle detoxification methods before you became able to do more potent detox methods and...
Thanks for the detox suggestions, Traveler! I have actually seen a number of dieticians and nutritionists, and I have done a lot of research into healthy diet. I am not going to give up on my vegan...
My hip joints used to pop/snap when I walked, but for some reason they've stopped doing that now. Also, my jaw pops out of place when I open my mouth really wide. (Don't worry, I can get it to pop...
Thanks for being supportive! I've had symptoms for perhaps about seven years or so. I have digestive issues, too, so that adds to the toxic load. I don't eat eggs. Hmm... I've tried a mild herbal...
Thanks for both of your replies! :) I was really upset yesterday because my Lyme-literate doctor told me not to come back to her office, because I am continuing to get worse and I am not willing to...
I can't take any supplements apart from a few vitamins I've been taking for a long time. I herx every time I try anything to treat my Lyme. Even when I take detox supplements. Even when I do CASTOR...
Hi, Thanks for your replies. I should clarify that when I asked if it was "worth it" to get an MRI, I meant if it was worth the potential health risks, not the cost. I would be able to get the MRI...
Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with late-stage Lyme disease. My family doctor (who does not yet know about the Lyme diagnosis made by my Naturopath) has offered to order an MRI brain scan to...
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ris24. I won't be able to see the Internist until October, but she works at the hospital in the General Internal Medicine department. I don't think she...
Hi BDJ808, I have had a lot of similar symptoms to you. I have recently tested Igenex positive for Lyme disease. I also have severe gut dysbiosis and mold exposure. Perhaps these are things you could...
Hi! Thanks for your suggestions, SoSt9 and California Cat. I had a bit of an argument with my doctor a little while ago, and she finally agreed to send me to an Internal Medicine specialist. She...
Thanks for the replies, everyone! I've found someone in Ottawa who I'm going to go see. (I've disabled my e-mail address again, because I don't need any more names for now.) :)...
Hello, I am wondering if anyone has any names of LLMDs in Ottawa or other parts of Ontario. I'm looking for a doctor to get Igenex Western Blot testing with. I do have the option of going to one...
Hello again, Thanks for all your replies. Let everyone be respectful of each other. I've just found out that the test I got a while ago was, indeed, the ELISA test. Don't worry-- I'm going to get...
Hello again, I have not posted on this thread for a while, but I'm still confused about whether or not I should get further testing. (I've been pursuing other health treatments and tests over the...
Hello Wovenx and everyone else who posted here, Thanks for all your ideas. :) I have, indeed, gotten various thyroid tests done. I've had tests for inflammation (which I think is related to...
Hi Tagh44, The fact that your fatigue gets worse especially after eating might indicate gut issues, such as candida. It might be a good idea to get tested for that sort of thing, as well as other...
Indeed they can!Having considerably low ferritin can cause fatigue and depression, among other symptoms. If they stay too low for too long, it can lead to iron-deficiency anemia. HOWEVER, many people...
Hi Jasmine Grace, Thank you for your reply. I had forgotten to mention that I have gotten tested for Celiac Disease, and I don't eat wheat anymore, even though the test came back negative (I don't...
I'm also sorry that you've had a bad experience here. A lot of people do help each other on this forum, but sometimes if people don't know how to respond to a particular post, it will go unanswered....
Hello everyone,I recently posted a post on the Chronic Fatigue forum, describing my symptoms and asking for ideas of what people think might be wrong with me. You can read the post here:...
