Hey Trav! Can you find any posts from her on what she did? I found one but the only herb she mentioned was echinacea, but she said there were others....
Thanks Trav!! I tried to email her but it said the email I tried was no longer active so I really appreciate that....
Bump... Anyone else who had a successful/healthy pregnancy post Lyme who has advice for me would be more than appreciated too!...
Thanks Rowingmom! I did email Julie about a month ago and never received a reply... :(...
Oh great! Thanks Girlie!!...
Thanks Girlie, yes, I always start with one drop and work up to 1/5 the adult dose with any herb not specified for children. I'm just not sure if there are any I should NOT use for a 3 year old...?...
Hello Beth! I hope you and your little one are doing great! I was so happy to read that your babe is almost 8 months old and no sign of Lyme! Great news! Thank you for giving me Rebecca's info...
Hello again everyone! I have read Buhner's book but I'm curious about any experiences using the herbs with young children...? I've seen in comments on Buhner's website he mentions using astragalus...
So you think Astragalus is better at this point than mino? Or you just think I should start taking astragalus for preventative going forward and/or in combo with mino, if tolerated. I'm seriously...
Okay, thank you Trav!...
Hi Mike! Thank you! My only concern with the astragalus is, he says to wait until 6 months post chronic Lyme to consider taking it, and I've had some little things here and there that lead me to...
Hi everyone, long time no "see"... Sorry I haven't been back until now. I need your help. I woke up on Friday morning @ 5:00 AM with an itchy bite on the inside of my thigh. I turned on the light and...
Sorry I didn't answer your question about the detoxing and herxes... I did have some really bad herxes. But, I can't say they were particularly worse than what I've seen others going through on...
Hi Girlie! Yes that's true. I just found out about the mutation at the beginning of February and the last time I had a bad day was mid-December. I started the methylassist at the beginning of the...
And yes, detox like crazy! If it is a herx and/or you have MTHFR issues detoxing will help tremendously....
I'm so sorry you are feeling so sick, IHL!! I agree with the above... Make sure you talk to or see your doctor/a doctor today. The positive side as I see it... The high fever probably helped knock...
Thanks everyone! It's great to hear from you guys again too. You all helped me SOOO much. I can't thank you enough, Revive & Trav. GreenBlue - it's so good to hear from you. :) I know you will get...
Absolutely! I'm so happy I can share and hopefully help. I never tested positive for the co infections but I treated for Bart conventionally and with herbs, and I'm 99% sure I had Bart. I don't...
Hi everyone - I'm sorry I haven't been on more... I do plan to come back and help others, as this site, and those who came back and helped me, are/were a God send. So... I think I am out of the...
Hey there GreenBlue! How are you feeling? Yes I know how hard the decision is... I'm still struggling also. I wish he could tell me what he wanted. I try to predict our conversations in the future......
Thank you!! It's been a journey... I'm almost there, and my son's immune system is a powerhouse so I think he will kick this quick. I wanted to add: I think I would be able to get well without the...
Hello everyone! For those of you who don't know me, I was a regular here from March - September... I don't get on as much anymore because I'm busy treating and taking care of my son. But here's a...
Anyone else having issues? Technical issues with the site??...
Up until about 6 weeks ago my knee pain wasn't one of my main sx - now its all I can think about. By the end of the day I'm having trouble walking and picking up my son. Forget about getting on the...
I read a post awhile back (you commenting on someone else's post, I think) that you did something that helped your knee pain dramatically...? Some type of injection I thought...? Can you share what...
Well, I don't know whether or not I'm having sx of yeast... I get a yeast infection about once a month (haven't had one for 6 weeks though). And my knee joint pain is crazy!! I presume its Lyme, but...
Hi Breaking Free, I've seen quite a lot of people with Lyme say they have back issues/bulging discs - just reading forums and blogs. My MRI showed facet degenerative arthritis and mild scoliosis back...
I have nystatin - thinking of starting it. But have been doing AZO yeast 3 tabs a day, raw garlic, 2 TBS ACV daily & coconut oil daily. Thoughts?? Should I stop the AZO and take the nystatin that's...
I felt crappy for about 2 weeks after starting doxy, followed by the best couple of weeks I've had in months. Barely any sx... Then I started some new herbs and alternative med stuff and I've been...
Thanks for posting Girlie! I will watch it. IHL & Jade - there was someone who posted on here back in April or May, I think. she just had a baby - baby was healthy, and so was she. She said she...
Hey IHL, I feel the same way. I want another baby someday, but certainly don't want to pass this on. I guess time will tell. I've thought a lot about adopting once I'm better - there's so many...
I'll have to respond with a good story tomorrow - I'm going to have to get one from my hubby. I've been fortunate so far - I've never had anything crazy happen. All my dives have gone really smooth....
LP, I had a lot of tendon pain toward the end of treating with azithromycin. I switched to doxy plus herbs and tendon pain resolved. My ANA also went positive around the time my tendon pain was...
Oh my goodness!! That is scary! My husband has been diving since he was 12 - he's 36 now so he has some crazy stories! I'm not brave enough to do a night dive. I'm glad everything worked out ok...
And the hair raising experience in the keys!? I love dive stories!!...
I don't know yet. I've heard of a couple of very shallow wreck dives with great visibility so I'd probably go for something like that. I've never done a night dive - my husband LOVES them - I...
Hey there Mom of 2! Thanks for your reply. I will be on the safe side. Thank you :) I have been off abx a few days - I'm hoping to stay off and continue with herbal and alternative treatment. But...
Thanks Traveler! I just sent her an email. So ill post here if she replies. I will be careful! I'll ask my doctor about it too. Don't worry - I'll be very very cautious. You're so sweet - Thank you :)...
I didn't see much improvement at all until I started the herbs (with the abx). I'm currently on day 3 of no abx - still on a bunch of herbals and other alternative medicine treatments, and treating...
okmom posted about using scuba diving as therapy for her child with LD, here's the link: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=2514181 Very interested about the outcome......
Thank you very much Maui! That stinks! Certainly not what I wanted to hear, but appreciate it nonetheless. :( Anyone else have a different experience?...
I'm pretty sure my doctor(s) will likely say, "I don't know" or "no" to be on the safe side... One of them would just say "no" even if she doesn't know because she doesn't ever not "know"...
Think it's OK? There are so many things I can't do because of lyme - I think this would be a wonderful release for me. I'm certified, and now live FL, up until 2 months ago I didn't feel well enough....
I certainly don't have the answers, but I say go for it!! Be confident and positive that it won't come back - try to preoccupy your mind with anything and everything else (as long as its not...
Okay, so in case anyone's interested, I've decided to go with my original plan: no more antibiotics for the next 4 weeks (at least). Using my herbalist to guide me with herbs/supplements, no nystatin...
Thank you! Ugh, this is so frustrating. Yeah thank you LymePickle - resistant Lyme is not an option. I was going to drop abx officially today, but saw my integrative md this morning who suggested one...
Thanks! So you pulse the Bactrim every other day, or you take Bactrim and pulse the doxy every other day? Appreciate the help...
So I could take 1 pill of Bactrim ds twice daily, while still on 200 mg twice daily of doxy? Possibly pulsing the full dose of doxy? I'm asking bc this doc is willing to help but not with ilads, and...
What is the typical dosing?? My doc has suggested I stay on doxy another month, but at 100 mg bid, and has added in bactrim and nystatin, as well as gse. Thoughts?? What is the typical mg dose of...
I have a positive ANA - became positive after starting treatment....
