Tendonitis is something different from arthritis. Bartonella can cause tendon inflammation but you have been on an regimen that should have completely eradicated, except for biofilm?. Without an...
Unfortunately I don't. There are a few studies but concerning mainly cardiovascular issues and the dosage is usually much lower. The dosage I mentioned was what worked for me when I was extremely...
I am aware of different explanations for ridges. Some say lack of B12 and B2, others lack of certain minerals such as zinc. I believe ridges are caused by a disrupted metabolism, perhaps due to...
Flagyl and Azi have been a very effective antibiotic combination for me. I have had the best results by taking Flagyl continuously but for short periods. Pulsing did not work for me. Note that I had...
May I suggest you search gse+cytochrome P450 enzymes, it's not only grapefruit juice... As for fat, if you look into the biology of yeast you will realize that fatty acids are used as substrate for...
I'd definitely take a break from antibiotics, address the yeast and only then resume the antibiotics. In any case 1. Low fat and sugar diet. 2. Mega doses of high potency live probiotics 3. Mega dose...
There's a CPn protocol, the Wheldon protocol, which includes all of the above. http://www.cpnhelp.org/treatment_protocols Something similar is also used to treat resistant H Pylori infections. I...
This site gives you all the information plus the chemical structure which is all information needed for those who have a background in chemistry. Eg Doxycicline http://www.rxlist.com/doryx-drug.htm...
Throwing in just a few ideas in case you didn't explore or tried: nk cells and macrophage activity (antibiotics won;t work if the immune system is stuck) vitamin D metabolism, links to the above,...
I have treated bartonella successfully with your same combo of antibiotics. It's a very good combo because it's effective also against borrelia and Cpn. However, it worked for me only after I started...
It depends what aspects of immune response you want to boost. Vitamin C taken in large doses frequently is good. Selenium helps nk cells and inhibits certain viruses. The herb Boneset is an effective...
I disagree. Sapi's work was based on in-vitro observations. In-vivo, things are usually a bit more complicated (as most pharmaceutical research also shows). For once it doesn;t take into account how...
Thanks for the thread. My experience with Cowden was pretty disappointing. Whilst Samento did nothing for me, cat's claw was great. It was one of the best herbs I tried to reduce inflammation and...
If fatigue and depresion are still an issue it's likely your immune system is not right. I'd seek a second opinion from a seasoned, true llmd. Lyme diagnosis can only be clinical and not based on...
something similar, the documentary "Under our skin" was made just a few years ago. Not sure what the outcome was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxWgS0XLVqw...
Pneumonia is something to be taken seriously. I have a friend who for years was told his pneumonia was viral and was never treated and ended up with scar/fibrotic tissue in his lungs and difficulty...
You're not saying what symptoms, how long you've been taking serrapeptase and what dosage and what else you're taking. Serrapeptase is a good systemic enzyme and well studied. Unfortunately it is...
Detoxing to me means transporting toxins out of the body. I did not suggest supplementing with glutathione but getting the body to make more of it, if deficient. Nobody can detox without it. I've...
The liver doesn't need detoxing. It, or better, its cells need protection from free radicals and toxins, including lyme and environmental toxins. Milk thistle is a very good herb for raising...
http://www.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf on pg7 "Western blots are reported by showing which bands are reactive. 41KD bands appear the earliest but can cross react with other spirochetes. The 18KD,...
Irrespective of the dose, when attacked by Doxy and other antibiotics, Bb will convert to cystic form and/or biofilm-like colonies based on Sapi's papers....
I don't know what Dr Fry recommends. I did two weeks as my first round. Later up to 7-8 days every month or two months. It's quite tough on the liver and the general dosage for parasites is 12mg once...
The dose is irrelevant in causing conversion. I don't have the link but if you google Eva Sapi+Lyme you'll find the paper which was published in Townsend Letter....
How long are you supposed to take it for at what dosage? After a few days of 12mgx3 dosage I developed pain in my liver. Subsequent scans and tests did not find anything wrong with my liver....
I am not so sure. If that were the case it would just be just a matter of taking these enzymes and then have the immune system do its job of getting rid of pathogens since they should then be...
I also used that. The one that seemed to work was the Best's high potency one but with the side effects I mentioned....
It helped in conjunction with antibiotics. I never improved on it alone. It's worth a try if antibiotics don't seem to work....
There are a lot of studies on Serrapeptase as a systemic enzyme. It makes antibiotics more effective and helps the immune system fight infections. However, when I tried it, it would only work at...
Michael, I started the Buhner's protocol about four years ago on and off until about a year ago. I did not follow the full protocol, instead I focused on the herbs that were making feel me better,...
In my previous post I did not want to imply Cowden is just one herb, although the little science there is on it is based on just two herbs Samento and Banderol. As I mentioned my first LLMD was a...
Over the years I tried various herbal protocols including Cowden's. For me it didn't work, nor for my mum who also had Lyme. However, my former LLMD, who had chronic Lyme, swore by Samento. We...
Doxy was the first antibiotic I ever tried. I started at similar dosage as yours for a couple of weeks and then ramped up to 200mg bid for another two weeks. During the first couple of weeks I felt...
