Hello. - I am starting Stephen Buhners protocol for toxoplasmosis, which includes artiminisin and artiminisn annua in addition to several others. I remember that art. Should be pulsed, correct? His...
I recently found this post too and going to try it since daraprim didn’t seem to eradicate it....
I discovered that berbine also targets toxoplasmosis....
I'm treating for toxo now with Daraprim + Bactrim. When I started a few weeks ago, herx was bad. My dr. suggested I take it every third day now. Also taking crypto + sida for babesia....
Thanks for the helpful responses. A lot to sort through here....
If you saw my post from last week, I felt like starting Daraprim was too much leaving me with increased heart rate and insomnia. So I stopped it last wknd. However, I remained anxious and shaky and...
Interesting point about Bart. My husband is asymptomatic, but I had him tested last year. Positive for lyme, bart and anaplasmosis. He's taking herbs at my request. I had one dr. who kept telling me...
Thanks for the response, Garzie. To clarify, the dr who used Vibrant testing had me re-test w/ Vibrant after 6 months for lyme. The numbers had decreased from the first test, so he said I didn't need...
This lyme journey started about 13 years ago for me. My only symptom was chronic UTIs. I found an amazing practiconer that found most of her bladder patients also had lyme. I was shocked to hear...
Thanks for all the responses. Leucovorin Is part of my compounded daraprim, so I am taking that as well. The symptoms have cleared (I took a liver supplement and lemon water) and I was able to nap....
My dr wants me to take Daraprim for toxoplasmosis. I have babesia as well. I’ve been trying to get used to it over the past couple of weeks so haven’t been taking it consistently. The biggest issue...
Garzie - thanks for the suggestion. I think it's symptoms of a stomach ulcer - though I'm not sure if it's truly an ulcer or just that the herbs are damaging the mucosal layer of the gut. I started...
Help! I believe my stomach is having a burning feeling due to the crypto and Jap knot weed I’ve been taking for a couple of months. I’m taking a leaky gut powder supplement that seems to help...
Thanks. Yes, I'm taking caprylic acid for the candida. Need to reduce my sugar intake too :) but that's challenging. I am thinking I have both babesia and another parasite/protozoa b/c I responded to...
WalkingbyFaith - thanks for the response. I do have Candida. I likely have a protozoa, which is considered a parasite, right? I've wondered about mold but never tested. House was built brand new 9...
I should add that food sensitivities have increased as well (bloating + inflammation in my ears). Last summer (when the muscle pain started), I also had problems with pills getting stuck in my...
Hello - I was originally on the forum in 1999 treating for lyme, protozoa & babs. Primary symptom has been chronic UTIs which I'm still dealing with. Treatment has been on/off since 1999 with gaps...
Hello - i'm a little late in responding to this post but wanted to post my experience as I'm currently chelating mercury and copper. My dr. found these levels to be high from the NutraVal test...
Hello, I haven't been on the board in quite some time b/c I put my lyme treatment on hold. Partly b/c I'm not seeing any success in reducing my bladder symptoms so I wanted to try rebuilding my...
Hi - I'm new to this forum but previously spent time on the lyme forum here (though I'm not sure if I have lyme or not). But my latest problem is where I must focus to heal. For the past several...
Razzle - I was following the low sulfur protocol for a few months, and my symptoms subsided. Then when I took several rounds of ABX and herbs for a UTI, they exploded again and are much worse than...
I should start by saying that when I started taking active folate and b-12 to address MTHFR/methalation, it caused me a lot of trouble with sulfur/ammonia that I'm still working through. But recently...
Over the past 3 years or so, I've taken nearly 2 years of biofilm busters, including Interfase Plus and Lumbraknise. I know that they helped b/c I saw the biofilm decrease significantly in my Fry...
Just got my labcorp results back and my hhv-6 levels are high. After an online search, it doesn't look like they're terribly high, but above ref. range nonetheless. Haven't met with my dr. to discuss...
I read a book called the Body Ecology Diet (or something like that), and it talked about fermented foods and how good they are for you. I think the issue is that typical sauerkraut doesn't really...
I haven't heard of any of those options, but my ND just recommended that I take magnesium to help with insominia. I think it's helping....
Is anyone taking it with cryptolepis? Doesn't buhner recommend the two of these together for Babs? I am just starting the crypto alone....
I am CBS hetero and also homozygous for COMT. Razzle - I actually started reading Yasko's book about a week ago. Very interesting! Ironically, I have lots of young family members with autism... * my...
I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience in trying to supplement for the a1298 homozygous gene. This was the only gene my dr. tested for and b/c I had 2 copies, she recommended...
Thanks for posting, Don. Ironically, this is the type of info. I'm searching for right now. For 2.5 wks now, I've had a discomfort in my liver/gallbladder area. Just had an ultrasound yesterday but...
I received a sensitivity test for candida/yeast, and it showed resistance to several herbals including garlic and olive leaf. Granted, I've taken a lot of these supplements for my UTIs. There were...
Is anyone treating for this even though they have no symptoms? My latest GI stool test showed positive for this bacteria. I also had it 2 years ago, and I had an ulcer (bad symptoms of one as well)....
I just received my GI test results, and as suspected, I have a yeast/fungal growth. The lab also did sensitivity testing, and I'm resistant to many of the pharmaceticals and herbs. But there are a...
I know that I need to do this b/c I'm getting die-off from the anti-fungals I just started. But I'm a little anxious b/c I haven't done it before. However, I've done 2 liver flushes in the past,...
Does the gall bladder become overworked from these types of supplements as we know the liver does? Thanks!...
I was taking artiminisin a few days ago and started feeling a slight, very infrequent pain on the lower right side. I'm on and on/off schedule so stopped it. Then took an ABX for a UTI. Then started...
I treated for biofilms for about 2 years. First I used Interfase Plus and then Lumbrakanese, each for about a year. My fry test showed substantial biofilm (and I always had die off when starting...
I live by a probiotic for the urinary and vaginal tract called Femdophlis. You can get it at Iherb.com. I've been taking it about 4 years now, everyday and never have yeast problems there. However, I...
How long are drs. prescribing this drug for? I've been taking 10 mg dose 3x/week since January, so 4.5 months. This is a relatively low dose compared to some I've read about. So I'm wondering if this...
that sounds fantastic, but then again, i loooove ginger!...
Well, I'm glad to hear that no one seems to be having a terrible experience with it. My dr. prescribed it and wants me to take it with the Artiminasin capsules mixed in with the paste (she also gave...
Did either of you test your sulfur levels? My new dr. is having me test sulfur and pH. My sulfur was low, which I think it was expected to be high b/c of the mutations. And to no surprise, my pH is...
I tested positive for two copies of A1298. I started b12 and l methyl folate and had adverse symptoms so had to stop. I found a practitioner who understands this better than I think my llnd did. We...
I too always herx from artiminisin, which is why my dr thinks I have Babs. I tested negative on the FISH test from Igenex. She also wants me to add in Mepron, but I feel that the art. is all my body...
I thought Deet at a minimum of 30% (or maybe 40%?) was the best recommendation. Has this changed, or is there a reason to avoid Deet? I typically have bought OFF with deet in it....
Actually, the treatment for Babs requires an antimalaria med. The most common is artiminisin, which is also used to treat malaria in some countries. I tested negative for Babs via Igenex, but I...
Have you been tested for h pylori, the bacteria that causes c Ulcers? It's very common. I had it 2 yrs ago and had stomach pain like I've never experienced before. It took about 6 months to clear...
Collostrum also does wonders for healing the gut. I kept having pain for a short time, and taking this healed it right away....
Yes, I have read The Yeast Connection; I thought it was a good book. I also struggle with weight loss on this diet. I know I will lose weight. I did a VERY strict diet in 2010 for 2 weeks, and it...
SamJones - can you explain a little more about how the treatment has been tough? I'm curious b/c I started the supplements for mhtfr and ended up with weird head feeling and pain in liver area. Dr....
