Has anyone here just done homeopathy for Lyme/TBI treatment? If so, was it successful? I was researching it and became somewhat intrigued on one hand yet, on the other, it appears suspect and more of...
BUY THOSE SHOES!!!...
Right, tickle, the caffiene can help open up the blood pathways that feed the brain. But, there is an affect to the adrenals that is negative. So. I am in much more moderation with my coffee of late...
I am not a doc but I agree to find an LLMD....you are likely dealing with a tick-borne illness......
Lymer - I have had Lyme probably since at least age 17 (I am now 53). Back then, in 11th grade, I had weird depersonalization attacks, trouble concentrating, sense of foreboding, panic attacks,...
Even though I was hugely positive for Bb, my CD57 never got below the 200s except very briefly only to recover later. Even though, I have never tested positive for Babs or Bart, I have all the...
Shabby - I am not bragging, and I have my "poor me" moments - sometimes a LOT!!!! LOL. But, in the end, I am a tough old southern boy who grew up in the country. While that very thing caused me to...
Trav - I have learned that milk thistle is in the ragweed family...SOOOOOO, if you have an allergy to ragweed, then milk thistle is not recommended as it can cause even MORE inflammation!...
Hi trav: Just peeked in for a bit. Been treating steadily and taking some breaks along the way. Up and downs abound. I still run 20-25 miles/week and I think that helps a lot with detox. And I do not...
Bikram yoga sounds great - actually, yoga, in general. Be aware, though, that Bickram Yoga may actually INCREASE your herxing since it is done in a HEATED environment - heat in the body and...
Hi - depersonalization and derealization, to me, are the ABSOLUTE WORST symptoms to endure...I have had them on/off for most of my life (age 53 now) with long periods of not having them at times -...
This is a good one S/J!!!! Nice and concise that stimulates my technical brain! It sorta validates what all my tests have told me too - that I have Bb and probably not anything else,. One would think...
bucci - I truly enjoy your posts and I think you make a LOT of great contibutions BUT, just because you have found a couple of articles that seem to contradict the use of magnesium, doesn't make that...
yes - stay on top of it - it may be Lyme, it may be unrelated but see an LLMD as you have enopugh of a 'probable cause" for action. Plus, if it's a coinfection, the doxy may not even be addressing it....
I have done both with no issues. Plus, I have not reached "bowel tolerance" with 600-1000 mg per day of magnesium (in the citrate form). It has really helped me sleep and I believe helped energy-wise...
Root canal much different than abscess. Root canals ans cavitations can be infected with spirochetal bugs. I doubt the abscess is anything more that gum irritation, probably due to the broken tooth...
A healthy diet is important either on or off abxs. You want to minimize the body's inflammatory response which csn be exacerbated with diet. Also, you don't want to eat foods that muck up your detox...
The dots i sm referring to seem specific to Lyme and tbis. They almost always only occur on the thighs and trunk and usually only with lyme patients....
Thieves oil is chiefly used to rid mold from the house. My acupuncturist told me also to use it on the points between and above each knee. I do not ingest it....
Very interesting article! Plus, not only are ticks the vector for infection, but mosquitos! Everyone must have this in some form or another if protomyxoa turns out to be a real issue via further...
Btw, i also use NAC and ALA for supporting glutathione and the ALA also binds mercury. I have added cilantro i sm growing in the backyard to help with the latter as well!...
Good point, B/L, about fueling ourselves versus the pathogen. Since i am VERY active, logging 25+ running miles a week, i have to fuel my body. Without magnesium and other electrolytes and such, I'd...
I definitely have Lyme (Bb) - lots of it and it reactivated both EBV and Chlamydia. Plus I showed very high levels of mercury (Hg) and I believe that's what activated my Lyme that I have probably had...
This seems to be common in folks with Bb and other TBIs. As far as i know, I only have Bb - lots of it (or I did) - and had/have tiny bright red dots on my thighs and a few on my trunk. Dunno what...
I think the bit of controversy surrounding use of magnesium is that Lyme and biofilms of other TBIs use it. However, this causes a severe deficiency in the body of magnesium that can be used by our...
Bucci. I have been using rather heavy doses of magnesium and calcium (since they work in conjunction with one another ) I am TONS better and i attribute it to my full treatment regimen of which...
Yes! I have had no issues eith it and it should not bind the abx. You could tske away from the abx if concerned....
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/343165/20120520/jpmorgan-chase-lyme-disease-jpm-jamie-dimon.htm. Lyme disease causing financial havoc!...
No PICC line for me. Just oral abx...ceftin and biaxin for the most part. Some flagyl but i dont tolerate it well. I slso dud the byron white protocol and add a host of supplements. I even do teasel,...
Lol. I have had lyme probably at least 35 years but just diagnosed last June. I am 52 and csn remember having symptoms since age 17 and probably before. Mine are neuro primarily so, after a ration of...
I have been in treatment now for 11 months. Things have gradually gotten better. But there are setbacks along the way. My adrenals are a lot of my issue as well and it seems they tske a while to turn...
Sounds like just part of the process with herxes and symptom increases at times. It comes and goes and causes all sorts of symptoms. Plus it affects your adrenals and thyroid. Just keep detoxing and...
It's a tough call the way you explain it. Though, for me, I could NEVER stop working as it provides distraction and ambition for me to keep living. I have always found that, the more you can stay...
B/L - I have had allergies for the first time since I can remember - probably 30 years! I think this may be, for me, the "unwinding" of symptoms I keep reading about as you heal from the Lyme....hope...
My "time is from roughly 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm....probably due to wearing down from a day at work and such.......
Funny - my Lyme favors the left side of my head too - around the ear, though it also affects the other side - just less so. When I get "toxic", one of my big symptoms (besides head pressure) is...
April - LOL - I ALSO did a round of trimming and shaping trees. I have borrowed my dad's long-handled tree saw/pruner combo and just went berserk trimming big branches. Love that kinda thing - but,...
B/J - keep the faith and keep the pressure on the critters! It's okay to take breaks sometimes and okay to give yourself a 'pity party' every once in a while - I know I did! But the more we can stay...
This is one I bought way back last summer and read. Since I seem to be on the downslope of coming out of my Lyme 'journey', I picked it up and began reading it over again to see if there are any...
More positive progress. Somehow, over the past 3 weeks, my progress has accelerated for the better! I still have a few rough times but I can relate them to one thing or another. Most of the time, the...
Yes, and, if my memory is correct, you need calcium as it works in conjuntion with the magnesium. For magnesium, the citrate form has always worked just fine for me...the oxide form is kind of a...
My symptoms were 95% neuro from the get-go anyway. They are the longest to linger as well because of the neurotoxins circulating. PLUSm, I believe that the Lyme has clogged up your detox pathways SO...
I take at least 600 mg per day - magnesium citrate - and I take it at bedtime and I may add some during the day...you can take to "bowel tolerance" . Razzle - how is the Mag Oxide working. I...
Yes, curcumin is good for anti-inflammatory properties as well....
Great post - I take a lot of magnesium and it has helped me!...
IMO, the Hansa Center costs a LOT of MONEY for something that is based upon dubious "science". That said, if it works for someone, that money is well spent. IMO, though, the 'science' is just not...
There's one other - the Byron White protocol - I did it for a full course (it took 6 months or so) and seemed to work well in conjunction with my abx. I think the BW helped more so with immunune...
I just started samento/banderol last week with my ceftin and biaxin and teasel. It whacked me by day 4 with much increased symptoms. And i was only doing 3 drps each 2x day. I had already decided to...
I couldn't get the Byron White stuff myself - I had to have my LLMD order it....
You have to find an LLMD - your bands - 23, 39 and 41 are the same as mine - you have Lyme disease - PERIOD. Find an LLMD and begin to do a proper course of treatment from a doctor who knows the lay...
