I have been using Dan Shen for 9 mos. 30 drops 3x a day. I don't feel it has helped my circulation or my heart I just started a baby aspirin a day and some other heart, BP, circulation tinctures so...

My LLMD also has me on Argentyn 23 also. She has it changes the ph inside the cell so the ABX can go deeper....
http://www.chicagolyme.com Maybe these people would be able to assist you with info and a support group to give you ideas and options in your area...
Yes cubs thats is what I meant…sorry I should have read it over before posting. I hear you about the money, its a real consideration especially since "most" LLMD docs are expensive and many do not...
Going for 6 mos with no worsening or having it go away for a while but then come back is the main reason I would have some lyme and Co. testing done!! That to me means there is an underlying...
cubs103 I am familiar with all of those symptoms. Many are classic for lyme, Bartonella & Babesia. I'm confused are you new here and never tested or treated lyme & Co.? I sure would pursue finding a...
I don't think anyone does well on Doxy in the summer. I hear mino is not nearly as bad but you still need to be careful………also I don't think its as bad for giving you nausea as doxy. I messed myself...
GraceNJ I also drink kefir everyday. I have been on ABX for a year and have not taken any other probiotic but the kefir. I have not had any yeast issues so it must be doing the job....
I do take Houttuynia tincture already, not Zhang…no way I can afford his stuff. Sort of feel like my Babesia symptoms are creeping up on me again lately….some air hunger and night sweats….during this...
Wanted to update this post. I went off the Rifampin shortly after this post. I was getting so very tired. I found out that can be a side effect of Rifampin. Apparently this happens because it...
Lovemychildren I don't want to dissuade you from Cowden, I think its an excellent herbal protocol As we all know lyme &co. is complicated and made more complicated my each individuals genetics, other...
Thanks Revive While I was doing searches I came upon Travelers recipe for Chronic Tonic…..got me very curious. Will do some more searches to see if anyone else has tried it and had the same success...
LymePickle Just as there strains of Bart that don't respond to levaquin are there also strains that do not respond to rifampin?...
Lovemychildren I can handle some ABX…I just have to figure out if I can handle any of the ones that will go after Bart. I am familiar with all the various herbal protocols, but chose Buhner's because...
One other thing….given my age and how long I have had these nasty bugs, I am not trying to wipe them out completely. I can understand someone younger who has not had lyme as long as I have having...
Girlie Heres my "thinking" on the subject, which could be extremely flawed. I am 70 and have had lyme and co. for 40 yrs. My lyme NP is retiring in Sept this year. When she goes I will be pretty much...
candleinthewind Thanks for the link. I have heard of that protocol. I followed a couple of discussions about it but I don't think I can change my entire direction right now to really take it all in....
Thanks Girlie I will read Dr M.R. guidelines so I will have some ideas to bounce of my Dr when I see her next month I was doing so well on the Zith/Plaquenil combo. I had started doing some gardening...
I have been on Rifampin for almost 2 mos. I am also on Zith for 8 mos + herbal tinctures. I always try to hang in there with the herx to give my body time to adjust, but I don't know if I can or will...
Maine76 Are you seeing a LLMD? If not it may be time to try another approach Thats a long time to be on ABX and not see any progress at all....
Main76 I did not get air hunger until I started herbal treatments. I seem to only get it at night after going to bed and first thing when I get up. I have seen it on the list of symptoms for Babesia...
Revive Others have speculated that my metallic taste may be coming from my fillings Not sure about that but as I get further along in my lyme treatment it seems to be going away,fingers crossed. If...
rowingmom Thats exactly where mine is, or was, except behind my left ear at the top of my head....
Revive LOL Sorry I am laughing but I had the exact same thing when I started my herbal protocol last month. A quick zap and then gone….and I thought the exact same thing. Oh no I think I have an...
Its very difficult to have a normal social life when your sick with lyme. Being as young as you are makes it all the more sad. Are there any lyme support groups in LA That would be a good thing to...
My friend has that problem and her cardiologist said she has fibrin in her blood and prescribed Heperin she switched over to more natural stuff but I don't know what….want me to ask her more about...
Funny you mention a metallic taste in your mouth That is one of my most annoying symptoms I have it really gets awful sometimes. Very few lyme people I have talked with have this. I do think its...
Personally I would not pay attention to much of anything the CDC has to say. But many herbalist recommend medical marijuana. Its a very sophisticated industry now and they grow different strains for...
I have had the air hunger since I started treating my lyme and CPN with herbal tinctures, but not as bad as yours sound. Are you on any lyme protocol? I was told by my herbalist that air hunger is a...
I just received my Babesia tinctures so have yet to introduce them into the protocol I imagine there will be some repercussions Will update...
I think I am Traveler. For one thing I have suffered from a kind of narcolepsy which resulted in severe daytime sleepiness. This has been with me for over 20 years. It all of a sudden seems to be...
Incredible story and so uplifting Gives us hope. Are you working on putting together more info about what you did for babesia Traveler? This what I am treating now and will wait patiently for you to...
Tim just want to put my 2 cents in. Stick with Buhner protocol…... but Buhner stresses that as you go along the protocol needs to be tweaked for each individual set of symptoms. I think the very best...
Hi Traveler I have not asked Julie yet but will. Have not seen most of the herbs I use with vinegar. Some with glycerin but not many but it seems to me if your going to pay for tinctures($$) alcohol...
Hi teragram CPN is chlamydia pneumonia You can set up a consultation with her here http://www.gaianstudies.org/herbal_consult.html Its probably best if you get guided through on this site so others...
My first post although I have been here taking notes for a long long time. I really admire how supportive you guys are of one another. So very much needed by people sick with lyme. What a battle it...
to see if there is any information on the forum about the basics in what to include in a letter to the court about my Igenex lyme diagnoses. I have to show I have lyme and talk about what it can do...
