i've read that it's good to take a break from abx and the herxing. The idea is to let your body recover a bit from all the stress. Some docs take the break period to help folks rebuild their immune...
I'm always amazed at how ignorant the medical community in general is about Lyme. Since time can be of the essence, I can't understand why docs don't take the approach vets do with dogs. Take a look...

Thanks Frango. I checked the web site out. It's good to be aware. The problem looked to be pretty benign. Tea tree oil is in most of our personal care products. It's a great first aid product. The...
I be a he. I've been using tea tree derived products for years with no adverse effects. My quite deep voice has remained that way, no other changes from pre-tea tree. It would be interesting to see...
I'm sorry if I seem cryptic. It's just that I buy from a company that requires a membership. If you join through me I would get a fee. And that would be selling. I don't want to jeopardize being a...
Sure. I'm drinking tea tree tea. It's pretty hard to find....
I don't use any established protocol. This is something I came up with over a period of time while I was being misdiagnosed and before I came to know about Lyme. Iy started when the docs couldn't...

Along with your detox program, I'd suggest reducing your exposure to toxic chemicals. It's easier than you might think if you are buying your cleaning products at your local grocery store. Chances...

As I understand it, the herx is a reaction to toxic overload due to a large die off. Detox is the process of ridding the body of toxins in order to keep the detox system healthy. We should be able to...

Sounds like your body needs to get adjusted to it. Is cumanda prescription?...

Welcome and congratulations! One thing you said relly stood out for me. You did your homework and then told him what you planned on doing. You didn't ask if you could do it or what he thought about...
