When I purchased some herbs through a certain company, they sent me a matrix (list) of herbs that need to be taken at least 15-20 min apart. Its a good list so I guess I would have to scan it and...
Has anyone read Dr. H new lyme book? Any reviews? I am considering it, but I have several books already......
Over 2 years into lyme treatment and it's been a roller coaster on what works and what does not. After 1 1/2 yrs of being on antibios, then switched LLMDs to find out that the antibios was not the...
yep, I'm also on coconut oil...oregano oil topically only. Lots of probiotics and kefir Azo yeast tabs....I will have to look this one up. thanks...
Well after about 1 1/2 yr of antibiotic lyme treatment, now I'm focusing on a systematic candida infection. No fun. I am on several antifungals both herbal and Rx--diflucan (previously...
Dan I've taken Mepron and Zith but it did not do the same for me. It actually was not working. Until I added artemesia then that kicked my butt. Are you on anything else? artemesia? cryptolepis?...
Hello I took mepron/zith for several months (along with artemesia) and found that I hit a plateau..the artemesia combo worked for awhile but then I stopped taking art due to some blood tests. My LLMD...
The lone star tick has made the news in Wisconsin see link It can carry a whole host of other tick borne diseases some that are very serious. Apparently LStick is more agressive than other spp. So be...
Sure..its actually part of an article from "Mother Earth Living", an article about Healing Weeds in the July/Aug issue. Wild Greens Soup 1 medium onion (or wild leeks which I use) & 1 clove...
Summer When I really feel overload -- liver and spleen -- I take Buhner recommended herbs bonset and redroot. also, I am on milk thistle but alternate a couple weeks with a detox tea (dandelion). My...
same here regarding symptoms....I was not treated for Babs until about a year after lyme treatment then the LLMD suspected Babs...I was pretty frustrated. I personally believe Babs should be treated...
Wow, sounds like the same thing I went through. I went through the same pressure type headaches almost "ice pick headaches". I was on mepron/zith (and artemesia) but it did not work for me After 5...
hi thereDid you happen to ask why you were prescribed wobenzyme? I was told by my LLMD it was for inflammation more so than an antimicrobial (although it may have that effect as well). I've taken it...

mepron and the zith combo did not work for me...I was on it for about 6 mos along with artemesia. Now I switched LLMDs and on herbals -- so now on ABAB (a byron white formula), cryptolepsis and...
I am curious to know what others experienced with treatment failures or stagnancy in their treatment, what questions to ask their LLMD. Has anyone switched LLMDs? I just recently switched to a new...
I wish I could say the same about mepron. I am on the mep/zith combo higher dosage and it jsut does not seem to be working until I add artemesia though I have to watch with art. I have not had ill...
another point is that cortisol saliva tests can tell you what type of problem you have . I had one done testing throughout the day and found that its normal level throughout the day but at night...
Hi Samjones I am on some similar stuff as you(not all however). You are taking a lot of stuff. Artemisinin is so effective that you have to watch it...from the standpoint of dieoff and effects to the...
have you considered Babesia? Do you have drenching sweats? One test would to try artemesia, see if you have a major herx from this. It is something to consider and then you could progress with...

Interesting to hear all the experiences I on the other hand wish my babesia was treated first. My LLMD did not suspect it at first. I went through a series of lyme/bart treatments for a year thought...
Hello Sorry we all have to go through with this. I am on the mepron/zith protocol for babesia but its pretty slow. After a month I tried the full Zhang protocol with the artemesia. I had such a bad...
I was on Tindamax along with 2 other antibios for a couple months and only on weekends (pulsed) in the beginning of my treatment. It was highly effective for me, and I could feel it kicking in...
Hello Don Thanks for the information. I am just curious, why microbojen rather than the other two antimicrobials lymogen or borealan (sp?)? I am seriously considering this, however, there is not much...
I've been on mepron/zith for about 3 mos on and off. The first month 1/2 I had bad herxing and with artemsia seemed to work well until I had a bad reaction to artemesia. So now I am just on...
Cool... I have not been on Dr. J protocol but I do use the CNS/PNS Antitox and I think its great. I also do most of the supportive/detox recommendations in his book (also good stuff) Deciding if I...
deerez I don't really knowmuch about the CD57 reading and frankly my LLMD does not recommend the test. I am from WI and my LLMD does travel to milwaukee (from the North) for patients. She is very...
I was on Zhang's artemesia formula for about 1 1/2 mos, It is highly recommended, however, with some folks it can cause problems. If you are not in tune with your body and effects, this could be...
I've been on the same combo --- but added artemesia then had a bad reaction to that. So I just resumed the mepron/zith For about 1 1/2 mos I had the head pressure and the head stuff like unstable...
My LLMD suggested, along with Mepron to take a tsp of peanut butter or some good type of fat. This helps asorption also. If you do take artemesia or a derivative, please use caution and monitor your...
For about2 1/2 mos I've been on a couple Babesia treatments about a month ago my Hemoglobin and hemocrit dropped way low. I had to stop all treatment for awhile. While this was occurring I had normal...
well, for what its worth here are a couple things that may help... I saw my acupuncturist, she did some points for the craniosacral area and recommended more work on that area. once she was done with...

I've had vision problems, photo sensitivity, floaters etc on and off. I went to the eye doc and they found no problems and just gave me drops for dry eye. Lyme and coinfections can definitely hit the...
Thanks all Samjones, that is a good point. I may explore this. no, she has not tried pulse. I've discussed pulse therapy a little bit with LLMD but we did not explore this option too much. For some...
Wondering if anyone is at the point of transitioning off antibiotics --- actually at the end of their treatment. What to do next? My daughter -- after about year of various antibiotic treatments has...
Well I know you have but I will ask this question...Have you considered this to be Babesia. The reason being is that I had very similar symptoms especially when I initially started Babesia treatment,...
I started Babesia treatment in Nov. my blood work was fine when I started but then about a month later my hemogl. dropped significantly to 8.8 and hemocrit to 25. i had to immediately stop treatment....
I think it is so great that YOU are helping US! Thank you. Sometimes we have to play hard and Car Pe Diem, even though we pay for it in the end. This is such a tough disease and how can we all bear...
Hi there I also recommend looking into Zhang's protocol for Babesia (and other lyme -coinfections). This is all Chinese herbs in capsule form. He also has a book. He has a special form of Artemesia...
Hi Trav Thanks for your reply Accordingly to the Zhang protocol (he has a book for lyme and babesia treatment, very good by the way) there are a variety of recommended herbs to take can be as short...
I've been in treatment for Babesia for about 1 1/2 month (I know not long enough). After 3 weeks I gave up or took a break from Mepron/Zith, took about a week off to detox and then went totally the...
I don't mean to sound rude but herbal treatment can be just as intense as antibios or even worse. They can be very effective but they can cause intense die-off, intense herx reaction. Especially...
Sorry to hear about your daughter. My child has chronic lyme w/coinfection...similar age too. Unfortunately, I think I am the one that gave it to her in utero (sp?) that was several years ago. Last...
