Thanks BeKind. Hopefully we can figure something out eventually. Best...
Hi Dude, Thank you! It is quite strange. I'll check out that post too....
Scary stuff. Headaches and fatigue all day and can't gain a single pound no matter how much I eat. People think I look sickly skinny yet no one can give me an answer about anything. I've stopped...
That's encouraging to hear. They gave me a discounted cost on the protocol to try out. In retrospect for the cost I'm getting at least it's far cheaper than jumping around to LLMD's. So I'm gonna...
Simply put, anyone here have success or know others that did better from Cowdens lyme protocol? Do you think there's scientific reasoning behind it? Thanks!...
I definitely hear that. Definitely concerns me. Well the other treatment seems to be Qbrexa which uses glycopyrronium. I tried it one time about a week ago and oddly enough it seemed to cure my issue...
Simply put has anyone here used botox treatments for anything? A dermatologist recommended it to me for a skin smell issue. I tried a topical antibiotic that gave me horrible side effects and he...
I agree the medical system is messed up and clearly full of ignorant people but when I see the sources on anti vaccine websites a lot doesn't add up. Again I'll say certainly as someone with lyme I'm...
The thing is clearly vaccines with kids are quite effective. It seems like diseases like measles are now coming back to the country because of anti vax families. I imagine it could only get worse...
Simply put, anyone here ever get the flu shot and if so what had been your experience with it? I want to say off the bat I'm not a fan of anti vaxxers and personally think the autism vaccine link is...
I haven't had lyme tests in a long time so I'm not sure but I always came back positive for it I think.... ultimately though lyme and other treatments over a long time got me nowhere including both...
Basically it's a test that according to them tests for 10's of thousands of bacteria, parasites and fungi. I actually ordered a test cause it seems like it has a lot of potential if it actually...
So, are you looking for a LLND then - instead of a LLMD? Or are you willing to give the abx another try?[/quote] I'm not sure honestly but it seemed like lyme anti bionics don't have any effect on...
Yes. I did antibiotics for around a year or more when I initially had lyme but eventually they didn't seem to do anything for me one way or another so I stopped going that route. It's hard to even...
As the title says.... I used to post here more 1-2 years ago and simply put I have not been getting better health wise even though a standard doctor would think I'm healthy somehow. I've tried...
I believe my issue is flukes. I've taken lots of meds and stuff but nothing has cleared it all. Also have taken tons of ivermectin and albendazole. If u had roundworms I think I would've killed then...
What do you all think of taking the parasite herbs if you have scattered parasites? Is there a danger to make them scatter even more or could it potentially help? This question has been with me a...
That's an interesting way to look at it. Thanks...
Something I've noticed with Buhners protocol is that some of the herbs have blood thinning properties to them. With that said I'm wondering does this make then risky to take for a long time? Aren't...
Basically I'm giving the Buhner herbs a shot. Although I'm keeping cautious cause I have somewhat low blood pressure. With that said, how long do you think it could take to see if I get beneficial...
I was more guessing but I'm not totally sure. I seem to get symptoms in my chest area from meds and herbs sometimes. I'll try to get a monitor so I can see if that's what it is though. It felt like...
Thanks. Was wondering cause the other night I felt like my blood pressure may have been low after taking 3 doses of Japanese knotweed and cats claw throughout the day to the point where I wasn't...
I don't have one but if there are inexpensive ones I can likely order one on Amazon. Also curious did you take herbs three times a day or did you switch it up when using the herbs?...
Last I checked mine was at 110/63....
Has anyone here with low blood pressure had success with the Buhner protocol? I'm curious because a number of the herbs in it suggest the possibility of lowering blood pressure including cats claw....
Anyone here try Sida Acuta before? Does it have side effects and is it effective against bartonella? Thanks...
It's nice to hear stories of success from using the protocol. I also recognize that herbs can be strong as well. I tend to start herbs on low doses when I try new ones. Does anyone know if there's...
Do you know if that can be mixed with all or most herbs from the popular Lyme protocols? Yes - but you don't take the Nattokinase or Serrapeptase with food as they will work as a digestive aid...
Anyone have any opinions on Buhners protocol? I recently ordered his book and I'm thinking of jumping in on that. It doesn't seen more expensive than going to LLMD appointments and it seems like the...
I've wondered about drop in blood pressure from cats claws so I'm taking a low dose of it to start....
Do you know if that can be mixed with all or most herbs from the popular Lyme protocols?...
Anyone have opinions on which is better for long term treatment? I realize it can work differently for different people but it'd be interesting to see how many people have had success with which...
okay - thanks for clarifying that... How are you feeling now?[/quote] Still getting occasional side pains but definitely less than last night. I imagine as the drug clears from my system I'll get...
I think I mixed up my doses with flagyl. It was actually 200 mg doxy twice a day. Just remembered the dosings wrong....
Could a herx feel like organ pain for 2-3 days? I'm not saying it isn't but it just seems odd. Maybe in theory a lot of Lyme can be situated in a specific area of the body or something....
I would be open to that but I do wonder how to know what herbs interact with antibiotics, etc. Also my protocol ultimately has 3 separate antibiotics so I feel like it could be overkill on my part...
I guess so but it's still scary symptoms. Makes it almost hard to breath while going through the side effects sometimes. Also on flagyl it was so bad I could barely even sit. It was kind of like...
500 mg twice a day. When I took doxy a month ago it didn't give me aide effects but now it has. I did notice the doxy pills I'm taking disolvd very quick too which makes me wonder if that could part...
I don't know - I struggle with knowing if it's a herx or med side effect. Antibiotics are not without side effects. So very hard to decipher. I was about to start malarone the other day and read...
I seem to have bad reactions to antibiotics which is making me reconsider going forward with my current LLMD's protocol which includes doxy, zithro and bactrim. Three days ago I started on doxy with...
That makes sense. I also got white fillings back when I had cavity work done. I got fillings years ago but it's been so long it's hard to remember what it was like. I think I also used the laughing...
Should I request a certain kind of filling when getting a cavity filled in? Is this where people get the silver fillings, from cavity work? Also on a side note I'm nervous about pain from the...
From driving in the car for an hour the sun didn't seem to give me any burns while on doxy. I haven't tried standing in a sunny area for a while, maybe cars can blocks some of the rays from the sun....
Is it normal to not get sunburned while on doxy? All the times I've been on it I haven't gotten sunburned when driving when it's sunny outside. Thanks...
Yes. I don't gain weight even when I eat a lot. And I've lost body mass over the past few years. People think I look very skinny. I used to have more mass on my body. My LLMD thinks as I treat I can...
Thanks. I actually have rifampin as well but was scared to take it cause of the increased heart rate side effect but that is an option for me. It looks like my bactrim dose is 800-160 MG tab twice a...
I'm not so sure because it happens after one or two days of starting the Bactrim and that is earlier than my usual herxes. Also - my other symptoms don't ramp up. I find the pulsing easier to...
Would pulsing mean to take it a few days on and a few days off? Anyone know a way to do that? I'm interested if it might make it easier on my body and not cause drug resistance....
I'm not sure why the doctor chose doxy over mino. I also have the option to use rifampin over bactrim. Not sure which may be easier to handle though....
