Hi Friends, I've been seeing a great LLMD in Chapel Hill, NC. Dr. F (name withheld to respect forum rules). I'm writing because she seems to have dropped of the face of the planet. No voice mail, no...
Hi New Friends, I post on the Lyme board a lot but I'm curious about the possible meaning behind a high positive ASO. I am dealing with a lot of joint pain, but my doctor attributes it to lyme. I've...
Thanks for all this info, Sam. Can you share/describe your cytokine storm, and what triggered it and your symptoms? You may be about to explain the reason I had a major infection 48 hours after the...
Can anyone either explain or point me to reliable sources/links of information regarding Th1/Th2 response and role of testing these (and what tests DO properly test this) in Lyme Disease? I googled...
Hi MK, I should also share my serum ferritin was LOW but my Hematocrit and Hemoglobin were normal. My ferritin was an 11 and after 3 months of MAJOR supplementation--avoiding calcium at time of...
Hi Friends, I hope you all are doing well and continuing to glow and get well. Things with me have been getting better, steady and slowly. I'm still taking doxy, started zithro and some of Buhner...
Some LLMDs pulse off abx, meaing they rotate and slowly reduce amoutn of abx instead of stopping cold turkey. That's what my doc is going to do for me in a bout a month. As long as you are taking...
Fluid in breast not related to breastfeeding can be dxed as Galactorrhea, can be due to nothing or hormonal imbalances. It is possible to have galactorrhea and not have any other problems. I had it...
Thanks for the info, JustaScarf. The thing is, I'm NOT having bladder issues, but I've been dealing with a lot of blood pressure issues, which have always concerned me and had me wondering if somehow...
I'm wondering what could cause abnormal results in a monthly urine analysis? My LLMD checks my blood and urine each month and they have been normal until this month. Blood was fine (liver and kidney...

This is beautiful encouraging post. Thanks for sharing and I wish everyone the vision of wellness that you picture for yourself. I totally believe healing is possible too, and it starts with asking...
I writing to ask for your input and help as I understand what's going on with my body as I try to replenish low iron stores. What is your experience with treating low iron and how did supplementing...
Low Vitamin D also impacts our immune system function. I was severely deficient and supplemented 15,000 IUs of Vit D3 a day for 8 weeks and it went from low 20 to a really high 96. The prescription...
I contacted ILADs and they are rerunning Dr. Burrascano's ENTIRE presentation at 6:30 EST tonight. So thankful. His slides can be viewed now at...
I couldn't get in from the site but just found a backend way in http://new.livestream.com/accounts/2016089/events/1686214?query=ILADS&cat=event Burascano is nearly finished....
Hi Friends, In case you are interested, the ILADS Conference that's going on this weekend in Boston is streaming live this weekend. You don't need to register or anything. I watched some today and it...
Just read this interesting article about Lyme disease from Stephen Buhner and wanted to share... http://www.publichealthalert.org/Articles/scottforsgren/Buhner.htm I've only posted part of it, but...
I have recently found motherwort tincture works wonders to calm me. 1/4 tsp in water 2-3 times a day. (Not recommended for longer than 30 days a time.) I wonder if you are dealing with neuro...
Just wanted to share, I've been taking motherwort tincture to help with my dysautonomia. 20-30 drops 3 times per day. I add it to my peppermint tea and the alcohol cooks off. It's helped me a lot...
I have 3 children and used to feel tremendous guilt about how my illness often found me bedridden between 2004-2008. I was afraid to let them see me suffer through an illness--that only til this...

For those who LOVE reading about herbs I wanted to share this link about andrographis, one of Buhner's former core protocol herbs. (He removed it from core because 1% of people have had skin...
Hi Friends, My 3 children seem to have the flu. It's pretty rough version, vomit, fever and deep muscle pain. So far we are day 4 and I haven't got it. gulp. (fingers and toes crossed). When flu is...
You are so welcome. BTW, I personally don't tolerate iron supplements, but Floradix is much gentler on my system, and while it tastes metallic, it is also sweet and contains other stuff that helps...
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still off abx right now and feeling so much better. I've been taking 400 mg doxy and ws doing fine on just that. So now I'm wondering, if I took doxy and added Jap...
Dear Amara, My heart aches for you and your son. My son is 3 and more than likely got the bacteria in utero from me, but his disease is not active. My 3 yo does have very low ferritin though. His...
Hi there, I can't take the abx anymore. I've been on doxy since July and 3 weeks ago added clarithromycin and a 2 day flagyl pulse. When the clari builds in my blood, I feel so so awful, like my body...
That's interesting Zellie.So, do you believe xylytol actually survives stomach acid? If so, do you know if it has scientifically been studied to do so? I was thinking about it yesterday, and it makes...
Hello Healers, I've started on oil of oregano per my LLMD. She didn't give me a brand so I bought cheap and cheerful brand, 150 mg per gel cap (twice a day), I'm wondering if it's ok to take with my...
Hi Angela, If you find you have any sensitivity to gluten then going 100% gluten free may be a great thing for you. There is a lot of research pointing to gluten free diet as supporting immune...
yes, I wonder these things too. Xylitol doesn't have the greatest safety profile (esp for kids) as it can cause diarrhea even at low doses, but we are mostly spitting it out (in toothpaste). That's...
Thanks so much for the great info. My tongue has white yuck on it and very sweet disgusting taste that makes nearly all food taste awful. This is rotten b/c I'm always so hungry and never feel...
Thanks so much for this info Scandic! I realllllly appreciate it. The thing I'm confused about though, is if you had yeast problem, wouldn't fluconazole HELPED to reduce yeast? You said you wished he...
I'm doing better from a rotten herxing, yeast explosion and tachycardia high bp episodes for a few days, compliments of flagyl for 2 days last week. Woh, that was the worst reaction I've had so far....
Came across this today and thought I'd share. Makes me wonder ... if it's good dentally, I wonder if xylitol survives stomach acid and could possibly get through to treat lyme biofilms ... or maybe...
(ETA more questions for Summer.) Wow, interesting. why can't you take diflucan? Also, do you know whey LLMD's do pulsing with flagyll? Is it to reduce risk of c.diff, or does flagyll kill biofilms or...
Thanks Summer. I DID sleep last night, and feel thankful and better rested today. Bit more brain clarity. Yesterday I had yeast rolls and now I've had time to really think about this, I think I'm...
Scandic, did it turn out that treating the yeast infection worked foryou? I'm dealing with this exact situation (clarithromycin and tachycardia and yucky tongue) and would appreciate knowing what...
Hi ya'll. Man this stinks! I was doing great on doxy til I had to add clarithro 2 weeks ago and flagyl last week (just 2 days). Now I'm in a bad place and can't tell WHAT is going on. My LLMD is out...

Just an update on my Son, in case anyone finds this post and needs info about treatment of ECC. He's seen my IAOMT dentist and right now we are NOT doing fillings, perhaps in a few months. His teeth...
Thanks Summer. You are so calm and kind. I'm feeling better today. I was really really dizzy. Treatment has brought forth some LOVELY anxiety. Poop! this ain't easy, but overall I'm getting better....
I am taking flagyl for 2 days a week as part of my abx lyme treatment. I know to avoid alocohol, but tongiht I made pancakes and put 2 tsps of mexican vanilla in them. TOTALLY forgot there is alcohol...
Aww Flowergal! So sorry to hear about shingles. That is SOOOO tough. Be really careful when you go back to work that you watch your stress levels. My hubby gets shingles every once in a while and...
Brandenator, woh, sorry about what you are going through. I don't know if it's lyme, as it could be a bunch of things. You use the word "overload" and I can't help but wonder if you are dealing with...
justascarf2, Thanks for your thoughtful reply, and for your kind sympathy. I'm so sorry for your loss too. Going through lyme is tough but after losing my pregnancy, I think that was the hardest...
Mystery Illness, Curious ... what did you mean by "you got even sicker after delivery"? Did you have a fever or something immediately following the birth? I ask b/c 2 days after my son I had a 105...
(((Hugs to you all and your children!!!))) Thanks for sharing your stories. I too had Lyme during my pregnancy and lost my twins before having my son who is now 3 years old. My Lyme Doc told me...
