Great idea! Good luck if you do! :)...
Girlie, I'm not sure what the saline injection would be trying to achieve. The prolotherapy I'm aware of uses things like dextrose and vitamins. I would highly recommend seeking out someone who could...
I got mine made by hand as the Sophia Institute...you may contact them and ask how you may get it. They would probably ask you to make an appointment with one of their docs (they do telemedicine...
This is an old thread, but since the topic already existed I didn't want to start it anew. I felt I HAD to share my experience with Ozone this past year (and how much I wish I'd known about it or had...
Dude: I've thought a lot about the financial risk inherent in trying to get chronic conditions treated in general, especially since it really seems like western medicine is not as equipped to deal...
WalkingByFaith: Sorry, I did not see your question...the forum didn't notify me of multiple replies (and I don't use the forum often so I'm not well-versed in how it works), so I only saw/looked at...
dcd2103: As Girlie said, it stands for Autonomic Response Testing. You can do a web search (usually you have to include Klinghardt in that search or you get some results that aren't applicable) to...
I know this is an older thread, but I had to chime in. I haven't been on this forum for quite some time, at first because my treatment with Colorado's Dr. K was going so well and I was in remission...
Thank you, these are good tips. I will try to work one or more of those things in. The trouble is I'm tending to react poorly to lots of things with this immune overproduction....but hopefully it...
Any particular brand?...
Lapis_29: I might try fasting...goodness knows there is NO satisfaction or pleasure from any food... Yeah, I figured there was such thing as CS allergy...but to have it kick off this immune cyclone?...
Has anybody here experienced the onset of something that looks like Gerd, MCAS, or eosinophilic esophagitis ? Background: I’ve been in treatment over six years. I’ve run the gamut of herbs and...
Thanks, Traveler! I wasn't sure...didn't want to break any rules. ;) Purple Tulip...check your email :)...
Thanks, Traveler, this forum was a great help and support to me. I hope to keep going in the right direction. Cheetah... This Lyme & Co thing is a complicated puzzle. There are many things that can...
Thanks. I would be remiss if I didn't note that for most of the prior 23 years, I have feverishly sought natural healing through foods, supplements and lifestyle, even though I didn't know what was...
I remember when I first started coming to this forum how comforting it was to see the posts from people who had improved or even gotten well. I told myself if I ever got to that point I would share...
Just a high-pitched, steady tone in both ears, at varying pitches and varying intensities throughout the day. Generally it's not loud enough to disturb me while busy, but it is sometimes quite...
Hi there again... Sorry you were up late with pain. I get it...it's totally comforting to know that "we're not the only ones." It makes it feel less lonely, being miserable like this. I don't know...
Although there is still improvement to be had, and it can be difficult at times to look at how far you've come thus far vs. how far you still have to go, I've been tracking and rating symptoms. And,...
Orchid_rain, the other is called Curaphen. The Curaphen also has Boswelia and Nattokinase in it... The Meriva is just a killer shot of absorbable Curcumin. Don't know which is better, per se...I was...
Sorry you're suffering so. One of my most prominent and troubling symptoms (and what has just given me hell during treatment...it does not want to let go of my body!) is Lyme arthritis. I'm affected...
DX'd almost exactly a year ago after being sick ~ 23 years. 10 months of all-herbal and the past two months have added abx (Biaxin, Bactrim...plus Plaquenil). I'm at about 50%, but feeling like I...
Thanks for the response... Yeah, no matter what way you look at it, it's difficult...all of it rolled up together. I was hoping to be able to explain an extreme spike in emotional instability on a...
Hi, all. Emotional post here... I'm wondering, has anyone experienced extreme emotions as part of a herx? I just went up to a full dose of two new antibiotics (Biaxin last week, and Bactrim this...
Is there any organized advocacy group we can all throw our weight and experiences behind to help with this fight? It's something I'm very interested in doing. While I'm not well right now, thankfully...
This makes me so angry. There are already so few resources for people out there who don't have good, knowledgeable doctors available to them. I'd never subscribed to them before, but I just did...
I think it will be helpful at least for me...to see my overall progression and maybe keep morale up a bit as I see numbers improving! It's more difficult to do that when every day it's...
Hi, all. Man, this treatment process is a struggle, and I've found myself being very impatient and down-trodden lately. I guess I'm a bit of a control freak and I'm not used to having something in my...
Bart also diagnosed clinically. Test returned negative, but when going through my (long) history of symptoms, while describing one specific flare my LLMD *AND* LLND said, "Wow, you've basically just...
While there are several herbal approaches, and as always different things do work for different people, from what I've read from several LLMD/NDs and what my own team of LLMD/ND are doing, the new...
Will this combo work if you don't have ready access to an Ionic Foot Detox?...
So sorry to hear this news. You are such a pillar of strength and knowledge for so many people in this forum...there is no doubt you will come through it again! All my best to you....
Not sure what all interacts with Rifampin, but my LLND has me on A-Bab (Byron White) and it's a very strong formula... Cheers!...
You might...but that's why the thing to do is to start EXTREMELY slowly. The nice thing about herbals is you can so closely moderate the amount taken (heck, even start at 1/4 drop...stir a drop in...
The others have already answered very well. But rest assured the Byron White formulas seem to be on the list of go-to herbals in treatment of Lyme & Co according to many LLN/MDs. I have Lyme, Bart...
My new LLMD actually just prescribed Plaquenil WITH Biaxin, with the stated purpose that Plaquenil would increase the effectiveness of Biaxin... Plus the side benefit that it is anti-malarial (to hit...
Thanks so much, everyone, for your responses! That's exactly it, the scary, unknown road part. ;) I have faith that I've found a wonderful team in my LLN&MD. I just haven't taken abx for ANYthing in...
Just a curious/nervous first-time antibiotic user very interested to hear others' experiences/advice on abx, especially if you've used both abx and herbals. Thank you!...
Hello, fellow Lyme heroes! That's how I think of you all, at least. Long story short, after starting all natural (herbal and homeopathic) treatment last September (after likely 20 years of...
Thanks :). I take Meriva as well as Curaphen (both with Turmeric, the Curaphen with Boswellia) and I take a Beyond Balance tincture called Cyflacalm II that has many other mentioned natural...
First MAJOR flare (before knowing I was infected) happened when I returned to grad school while still working full time, and having just gotten married and already going through major marital issues....
My LLND has me on Byron White's A-Bab for Babesia and on Beyond Balance's MC BAR-1 for Bartonella. I started on Byron White's A-Bart for the Bartonella, but once I got up to 10 drops 2x/day (which...
One of the first things my LLND did to help me when we started treatment was to work on my energy/mitochodrial activity for the day time, and to overcome the adrenal stress/cortisol overload from all...
THANK YOU for sharing! Here's to many more! :)...
Thank you... The support of folks on this site is so wonderful. I'm glad I found it. People shouldn't have to go through this ordeal alone... And by that I mean without being able to share info and...
Thanks, yes, I take Curaphen which is turmeric and boswelia, and we recently added Meriva which is also turmeric. It is core and absolutely indispensable for me. Sadly, this knee inflammation seems...
Thanks for both responses. I've had a hard time with detox baths or heat in general as I seem to swell up immediately in response (though I'm doing that in response to almost everything)...but I...
I've been in a rough stretch of treatment for about 4 months now. For three of those months, my knees have been so swollen it's nearly impossible to walk. (Other joints have swollen too, but it's the...
Thank you for sharing this! I can barely type as my eyes are blurry from tears. It's so helpful to hear the success stories, and know there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm mid-thirties...
Oh, also starting a conscious effort to do Earthing/Grounding tomorrow. I get earthing sandals and an earthing mat in the mail...should help as I can't stand walking around outside barefoot unless on...
