Traveler -- Yes, I am well aware of the poor babesia testing. For 10 years no one thought to test my husband for babesia WA-1 (babesia duncani). His titer when he was finally tested was 1:2048. After...
I looked up the herbs you said are in the Tick Attack. They are mostly Buhner herbs (from the Healing Lyme book) -- andrographis, dipsacus (teasel) and polygonum (Japanese knotweed). The hypericum is...
I am curious as to what herbs are in the tick attack formula you mentioned? I am not familiar with that one. Is there an online source for ordering or is this something that is only available from a...
Are you taking supplemental magnesium? That can also be very beneficial for heart palpitations. Also the herb hawthorne is very good for that. I recently attended the Buhner conference on June 15,...
Have not been on this forum in forever. But since LymeNet seems to be down thought I would login. As for the seizure-like episodes -- hubby dealt with this issue for years. The reason the neuro is...
lablady, This is the website for Dr NF. He is my hubby's doc. We like him although he is a little on the conservative side. He has 2 new physician's assistants in the last few months so may be easier...
Hubby has been given this diagnosis at least a couple of times. In my personal opinion -- don't buy into this nonsense. It just means that not only are the medical doctors confused, but the...
phsinvent, Actually hubby has already done primaquine and chloroquine. It did make the babesia rings go away in the 2nd Fry blood smear. But the dots which used to be called bartonella or mycoplasma...
Sorry guys, But Babesia has been around since Biblical times. I think it was called Redwater Fever or something like that. Don't have the Bible reference in front of me, but it is not a new disease....
I disagree with a couple of the posters here. I am glad the info from Fry is leaking out. Hubby has positive bloodslides from both Fry and Clongen labs. Both labs now think it is a protozoa and not a...
Trying one more time to post. I just don't think this forum likes me. The big question is do you actually have bartonella or do you have the mystery bug which is most likely a protozoa? If you are...
It sure seems like I stirred up a hornets nest. I was simply sharing my husband's personal experiences with Dr J. No we are not Scientologists -- otherwise why would we want off the mailing list? We...
I am going to keep this brief and hopefully to the point. I don’t have the time and energy to argue over docs and treatment methods – what works for some people doesn’t work for others. There are...
With severe hypercoagulation fibrinogen may be elevated. Quest or LabCorp can run this test. A more specialized test is from HEMEX laboratory -- it used to cost about $400 but may be higher now. The...
Deejavu, When hubby was admitted to the psych ward Dr J suggested I consult the Scientologists -- he said they might be able to help get him discharged quicker as there was nothing he could do to...
I would go ahead and get this done and over with. The longer you wait the more anxious you will be. Hubby has had a PICC line in continuously for 6 years now -- in one arm or the other. He has never...
Now I remember why I don't use this forum much. It keeps logging me out and making me reregister. Very frustrating and I don't even have Lyme. Bea Seibert...
I am posting this under the same screen name I use on LymeNet which is where I usually hang out. Hubby went to Dr J in Wichita in 2002. He had had no Lyme treatment at that time. We spent two months...
This is a test post. It has been so long since I have posted on this forum I had to rereigister. Spent half an hour writing a post last night and then lost it all. Bea Seibert...
