Thanks for responding Wilsonx. I appreciate it. I am sorry to hear that all of your valiant efforts with the C and Glutathione didn't provide the results you were looking for. I know how that can...
Avocado's and EPA fish oil (cod liver oil). Doesn't taste good, but it's a good supplement to take anyway and has good fats....
Hi Deejavu (cute handle btw), Good topic. Yes, I have been an avid green smoothie drinker for over a year. I have a VitaMix and it is FANTASTIC for the body. Do you have a high-powered blender by...
What do you guys put into your detox baths? I have just bought 35% FG Hydrogen Peroxide, and I need to find out how much to use (as it's very potent and dangerous), and how much epsom salt and baking...
Thank you very much for your response Dowa! I hope I can find a doc in these parts. LOL....
I totally agree w/ Razzle about the complications of Nexium, Axid, etc. They only mask the symptoms and deplete the body of essential nutrients. ACV (like Bragg's, Apple Cider Vinegar), and fresh...
Hezzer, are you taking any probiotics? This is a must for us candida fighters (especially with all the meds/anti's we're on). I take two different kinds of probiotics (good bacteria), PLUS I just had...
I have come across some really great information about Vitamin C IV drips and how they are great for diseases, especially lyme. I used to live in Connecticut and downstate NY, but now I'm upstate...
EPA Fish oil (Cod liver oil-I get Nordic Naturals), and also garlic is very good for the immune system as well. Best of luck to you!...
Thank you both for your response. It is MUCH appreciated!! Good health to all..............
Thanks Ticker! I told him to take 600 mg's. I don't want him messing around. LOL. I also told him to take cat's claw (samento), but he's afraid it will interract with the abx? Can he take samento a...
Is it OK to take the abx with the samento/cat's claw? My dad just got bit a couple of days ago and I told him to take samento along with his antibiotics, but now he's afraid he is making a mistake....
I'd definitely stay away from Westchester Medical in Valhalla, NY. I went there beginning of last year for their "lyme clinic" hoping to get help. Well, I wasted 9 months and immeasurable amounts of...
Wow really? That is so nice of you. I felt like someone put my head in a vice and it was going to explode like a watermellon being hit by a sledgehammer. OR, like my head was expanding like a...
Does anyone know if it's OK to take Cat's Claw (Uno del gato AKA Samento) while taking antibiotics? I know that some herbs can "cancel" out the antibiotics and since my father is on anti's recently...
Mag-Tab SR is the best I've heard. It has a special formulation that is great for lymies and releases slowly over the course of the day....
For plaquenil, it's recommended that a baseline eye exam be administered prior to starting the medication. Then testing every 3 or 6 months. This is because it has a small chance of causing retinal...
I was bit in the Hamptons, Long Island NY circa 1987, but was also bit a few times in Orange County, NY (1 hr North of NYC, West of Westchester County). I was also bitten apparently within the last...
Drinking aloe vera juice is wonderful for calming the stomach. I buy "Lily of the Valley" from my health store. I drink about a 1/2 cup in some strong juice (sugar free). Works really well. If you...
Yesterday my dad found a tick on him. He burned it into his skin, resulting in the head being attached in his body and he was unable to remove. When he went to the emergency care clinic, they...
I've had lots of scalp problems with my lyme and co-inf's over the years. I agree with KeepHope-a lot of it can be parasite related. Also, candida wreaks havoc on the skin/scalp as well. I'd take a...
Update- Just to keep you concerned people in the loop. Dad just got back from the Emergency Medical clinic at 10:30pm. They took the head of the tick out, in many pieces. Don't now if it's...
Dorit-you are right. No less than 400mg's absolutely. My dad is a big guy-6'0", 220 (maybe more now). I personally think he should start out with 600, then go to 500....of course I"m no doc, just...
Minerals-silly question, how do you get that blue writing of your history to appear at the bottom of your post? I want to do that for mine, but I can't figure it out with my lyme brain. Thank you!...
Did you get the PICC line with the port in your forearm? I'm so happy it went well for you. I had a PICC line at age 16 (I'm 32) and was on Rocephin for 4 months....
I agree....I told him to take 500-600 mg's (per Burrascano's guidelines), then we'll see my LLMD on Monday. HELP NEEDED THOUGH-The tick head is still stuck in his body and he can't get it out. The...
Thanks KeepHope. I agree with you-he should get the head out! I told him to go back to his doctor (GP) today and ask them to take the head out. He agreed to go back, the the DOCTOR refused to take...
I agree wtih you dorit! It's like it is a HASSLE for them to prescribe the medication. It would probably be easier to score illegal drugs......LOL I don't know, but you know how it is. He was bit...
I myself haven't heard of it going to the bathroom. Shooting pains in general being lyme? yes. Are you constipated or anything? Maybe a small tear/fissure from TP or infection? Keep an eye on it and...
Thank you so much for answering nefferdun. My dad went to the GP and they gave him 3 weeks of 100mg's. Basically, he can "use it how he wants" type thing. Per Burrascano's guidelines, 400-600 mg's...
PLEASE help me asap! I have late stage lyme and can't work the computer well to get to the normal resources I use! My dad just got bit by a tick and I don't know where the information I had is to...
I get foot pain and muscle twitching in the soles of my feet-almost like a charlie horse. It's painful!...epsom salt baths or foot soaks help with it, or even arnica gel/cream from the health store...
