I am not familiar with that terminology? What do you mean by minor or major?...
You got it You're brother is very lucky to have you...
I feel that diet is crucial, at least for me. I eat paleo which works well for me but I am keeping the fats a little low. The fats I do eat are Coconut, olive oil (uncooked), avocado and meats I...
I'm here I had a short email exchange with LymiesBrother, wishing them the very best in finding the treatment that he needs It's been a few months now and I'm still doing well. I had a setback in...
My doctor felt that the IV glutathione was critical to preventing or minimizing a herx. She would do weekly glutathione, mag and Vit C and the ozone was about once every 3 weeks. Now that I'm not...
I did ozone mixed with my own blood, glutathione, magnesium and vitamin C The extras were there to help with the herx but I would be down for the day after a treatment for about the first two months....
I knew going in that what I was doing was considered experimental but I can't handle antibiotics and herbs were too strong too. Even essential oils on my feet were causing massive cramping. This...
I'll try to pop in and give occasional feedback. It is exciting :-)...
I wanted to give some feedback on my treatment that I started back around March. I went to a pain management Dr of Osteopathy who manages Lyme and other conditions. She's not a strict LLMD but she is...
I wish I could merge posts, I accidentally started a new one when I meant to reply to my prior one. I had Lyme for 18 years before getting diagnosed. I went right into treatment in 2012 and it was...
Thanks I thought I was replying to my old post, I think I accidentally started a new post. Sorry,brain has been jumbled recently...
I saw the doctor today and told her that my anxieties went through the roof at the thought of taking antibiotics. She totally understood, doubled my glutathione and is keeping me on the ozone every 3...
I do the baths 2 - 3 times a week and the sauna at least weekly but try to get in more. Just got out and I do feel a bit better. It always relaxes me Thanks for listening. I was freaking myself out...
I am detoxing. I use the sauna and the epsom salts baths, plus the IV glutathione and mag is supposed to really help as it's a strong antioxidant. I think my diet isn't as tight as it should be. I'm...
Thanks for replying. You know how we get into these states where everything is confusing, that's me now I'm going to speak to my doctor tomorrow. I think you're right I'm herxing with what I'm doing...
I'm doing the ozone IV treatments and I'm also using essential oils. Plus my doctor had me on a hormone to eat up excess estrogen which caused massive hot flashes which became intolerable so she put...
I see my doctor next week, so bring in all of my oils and see what she thinks. I know she said Frankensence is good for arthritis pain I keep reading that cinnamon leaf oil is really good for babesia...
The last few weeks I've started using oils on my feet twice a day. I'm using Thieves oil, cinnamon leaf, Blue tansy and Grounding blend (DoTerra) in the morning At night I just use the Thieves oil...
product labeled non-dairy are allowed to have some milk protein too. It makes me nuts We get our pro-biotics from fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut. Sometimes I make my own. It's teaming...
We love the Bubbies brand sauerkraut http://www.bubbies.com/sauerkraut We also get Kimchi at Whole Foods from the refrigerated section. Don't get the shelf stable stuff as it's dead...
My friend with Lyme transmitted it to her son. With her second pregnancy they had just diagnosed her and a low dose of abx where given to protect the baby but it didn't do anything to treat her. That...
It's really exciting to have a plan...
Thank you to everyone that gave me feedback on making the IV stick easier. I went in today and asked for a hot pack right away. I was well hydrated and made sure my veins were really well warmed...
My understanding is that ozone is used regularly in Europe and not considered experimental there. Today was such a good day, my brain is back I feel sharper and I have some energy. My dr is really...
Have you tried eating probiotic rich foods such as live sauerkraut, kimchi and Kombucha? I can't have dairy so the kefir and yogurt don't work for me. My husband and I both started eating and now...
The Ozone costs me $175 per treatment which is not covered by insurance but the doctor visit and the process is covered. The Glutathione runs me about $90 for 3 treatments and it's purchased through...
Woke up this morning and just like last time I feel awesome today. It seems to kick my butt the day of the treatment The ozone works because it infuses your body with oxygen which kills pathogens. My...
Overall I do feel better so I'm not going to quit over this. I'm drinking a ton of water to help keep the veins plumped, I'm using a hand squeeze thing every day to help build up the muscles which...
Thank you Traveler I wish I could do that but she's it!!!! She says I'm her hardest stick and she almost got the doctor today but the office has everyone assigned to specific tasks. But you know...
I'm back! I know I haven't posted in a while. I had a good run with the herbs and felt pretty good for a while but then symptoms were coming back and I was in a lot of pain and decided to do...
I love it, sometimes it's hard to find good local honey. But I buy it up when I do...
The Thieves oil mouthwash worked. The pain has been gone now for a bit. I'm on to all new herxes now :smilewinkgrin:...
You do need to get this to stabilize and being a Sunday the ER is your best bet. Once it's stabilized look at Haritaki which is an herbal supplement that really helps the digestive track. I hope you...
I'm feeling better today, yay. Still have the migraine but the throbbing stopped. I went to the eye doctor for my regular check up and they numbed my eyes, it broke most of the pain cycle. I wonder...
I had a lot of fun too. It's nice that we were able to chat about Lyme and how it's affected us but we kept it healing and positive. Of course today I've been down with a migraine, but I'll bounce...
I've started using the Young and Living Thieves mouthwash, it has essential oils and it should also be antibacterial. I'm hoping it helps...
This morning no pain. It's so confusing but I am grateful for the better days. I also took an herbal muscle relaxer which tells me it's probably not my tooth....
Right before vacation I had pain start up in my back molar, it might even be the joint as I'm not sure if it's a specific tooth. It's dull and throbbing. Because I was about to go on vacation I went...
I take herbs and you will still herx with them. I would say they are more gentle in the sense that you can control the dosage easier then if you're on abx. It's much easier to dial back on herbs if...
I'm glad you're Ok with it. Dairy puts me into a coughing spasm. Gluten makes my skin and muscles tighten up painfully....
I would be really sick if I ate all of that wheat and dairy. It doesn't effect you?...
sweet potato with olive oil, chia seeds and garlic powder...
Serrapeptase works, I'm also taking Haritaki which I read is good for biofilms...
I'm working with a natural practitioner because i found things so confusing. I have found that I have intuitively done a lot of things that kept me from getting as sick as I might have. I gave up...
I didn't find out I had Lyme for almost 20 years and have just started treating. It's trickier at the later stages and my herbalist told me that is probably why I could not tolerate the antibiotic...
Thanks Wryter I am getting my photography fun in spite of it all....
Interesting about the Lyme and how altitude affects it. I bought potassium at the general store to help with muscle cramping and if these buggers are being drawn out they're being met by an herbal...
We're on vacation at Yellowstone and arrived yesterday. It was a long day of flying followed by a 78 mile drive to the cabin. After a few hours I had massive muscle pain and tightness. I suspect it's...
It's difficult to be civilized isn't it? Then it breaks and I'm happy...
For the last 2 weeks I've been furious at the world. I actually was afraid to post too often for fear of it coming out. I've had to really tell myself over and over, this is not a big deal, calm your...
