Unfortunately it didn't "cure me" the way I so wished it would. I stopped after 9 long months and now I'm working on straightening out my iron, copper, magnesium and ceruloplasmin. I follow the...
Thanks guys, this definitely helps!...
Very interesting. So it must be either a herx or excess toxins. I took two doses of diflucan and the last one was about a week ago. I've had worsening symptoms since taking the first dose, which is...
I had been free of the relentless leg muscle pain for more than a year...until just recently. The only things I have done differently are taking diflucan for a yeast infection, and I started using a...
Girlie, thank you for the ZRT lab info. I may go that route. I am not on ABX right now, so the reflux isn't due to abx. It all started when I took DesBio's Borellia/Babs kit. I thought i was going to...
Thank you again, Traveler. When you say that in your experience most people with tremors find it's from Lyme, do you mean that the Lyme is causing it, or that it's an after effect of Lyme? I will...
Thanks cd3764. I am taking L-Arginine. I take less than the protocol calls for, but I do take it and I will ramp up. I'm on the list to receive Buhner's new book and can't wait to get it. I may add...
Thank you all so much for the replies. I read them all yesterday but was too exhausted after a long day to reply. I appreciate the recommendations for detox, hemmoroids and nerve repair. I take a lot...
I've been fighting Lyme, Bart and Babs for 3+ years now. I was on heavy abx for 2 years, then switched to Cowden and now I'm doing Cowden and Buhner. I don't think I am dealing with Lyme or Babs...
Can someone tell me where I can find Buhner's new protocol? I donated to his new book, so I will get a copy, but I would like to find out ASAP so that I can start on that protocol. Cowden didn't work...
I worked with a nutritionalist/naturalist for 9 months and spent a lot of money on Zyto. She was able to help get my immune system working better, but I didn't trust the scan when it came to...
I sent a message to Dr. Cowden asking about the dark spots under my nails since I'm on his protocol. To my surprise he replied. He said the dark spots are tiny blood clots in the heart or arteries....
My doctor gave me a check sheet and put single asterisks by the symptoms that indicate bart. Here are the ones he indicated for bart: Low grade fevers (feel like you're coming down with flu or cold)...
Hmmm, very interesting. I really would like to know what they mean. My dad has heart issues and I've been tested and cleared, but with Lyme & Co's you never know....
Thanks Nosila. I guess that's possible. I do have little red dots practically everywhere. I think I read that it could be Babesia....
Thank you sarahm620. The back pain comes and goes, and my leg muscle pain is also coming and going. I would love to get started on kicking Bart in the butt, but I guess the best thing to do is follow...
I've noticed there are black marks under the nails of my middle fingers and I'm concerned about what they could be. They look like little black splinters. When you do a google search it comes up with...
Excellent thread! So glad I found it as I have had digestive and yeast issues and I just started Betaine HCI w/pepsin. Pirouette, I greatly appreciate you posting the reply from Pure Encapsulations....
Thank you cd3764. I wish you luck with the protocol. My leg muscles are starting to feel like their on fire again, and I think it could be Bart, but I don't know. Detox supplements aren't helping...
Is anyone familiar with Cowden? I'm not sure how I can find this information....
I'm well into the second month of the Cowden protocol and I believe my Bart symptoms are ramping up. Low back pain, leg muscle pain, and some joint pain. I am sure some could be a herx, but others...
Thanks Margaret. I'm backing down on Banderol and Samento. I'm down to 20 and if I continue to feel bad I'll drop to 15, etc. I'm doing Epsom baths, lemon water, dry brushing too....
I definitely don't want to go back to antibiotics. Thanks so much for the help. I looked up his info and contacted his office for prices....
Thanks, Katebirch...
Not seeing an LLMD, but would like to find one in the southern MD area. I don't want to put this treatment off until I can get in to see one. I also don't want to pay another hefty fee for the...
As I was ramping up on drops I wasn't feeling bad at all. Just little things here and there. Once I was on 30 drops of Samento and Banderol for about a week, maybe less, I started severe herxing with...
Thanks, Sarahm620. The back pain always puts me into a panic wondering if I should have tests run for my kidneys. I had my primary doc run bloodwork a few months ago and he said it was all good. :) I...
Thanks cd3764. I did read that in the literature. I am going to see how I feel in the morning and if still herxing I'll skip the next dose. Again, I'm just not sure if it's a herx. I really believe...
I'm up to 30 drops of banderol and samento and had been tolerating the protocol fairly well up until last Saturday. My severe low back pain is back with a vengance. I am wondering if I should drop...
Many thanks MarieLS! I am pretty sure it is but wanted some confirmation from others who've tried it. The sore throat eased up a bit yesterday and today, so it likely was a herx. :) Merry Christmas!...
So, day 4 of Cowden start the addition of Banderol and Samento. Last night I suddenly started feeling irritable and my throat started hurting, progressing more and more into a severe sore throat...
I was seeing Dr S in Towson, but I wouldn't recommend going there. I've met a few others who also weren't happy with that doc....
Thanks for both of your responses. Hoping for more! :)...
I would post a poll, but I want to know more than what are you guys doing. I would like to know if you feel it was the right choice and if it's making a difference. I'm having a lot of symptoms...
As much as I don't want to post about this topic, I'm just so concerned and wondering if I should see my regular doctor. I've had VERY dark green stool for the past week, and excess gas too. The...
I have to give up on my naturalist. My LLMD is Dr. S in Towson, and in my last visit with him he said he felt I was no longer dealing with Lyme/Bart/Babs except he didn't do any tests to confirm, so...
Deejavu - The Jernigan protocol is about $255/mo. Was it cheaper when you did it, or did you modify the protocol?...
The only thyroid testing I've had done are the bloodwork to determine that I do have an underactive thyroid. I found that out about 2 yrs ago and never had this lump in throat feeling until recently....
I forgot to mention that I went to a GI doc and had an endoscopy done. That was just 4 days ago. They took a biopsy in my esophagus to test for esophagitis (or something like) and they took a biopsy...
I posted about this once before but I have a hard time figuring out how to find old posts. My LLMD doesn't think I have an active infection anymore. I was treated for Lyme/Bart/Babs combo with abx...
I'll try to remember to update you when they give me the results, which isn't until Oct 9th. They did the ultrasound, but the doctor doesn't review the ultrasound until the end of the day, so I don't...
I also have this problem. I haven't been officially diagnosed with Raynauds, but my finger tips especially turn a bluish-purple when I hold them down by my side, and my feet turn blue-gray when I am...
Rowingmom - thank you so much for this information. I really do appreciate it. I'm going to try Red Root. The irony is that I bought red root to try as a detox supplement but the bottle I found at a...
Girlie, it can be so overwhelming at the LLMD appointment! Good luck to you. I hope he/she tells you it will resolve with treatment. My symptoms are different. I don't have a change in blood pressure...
Venous pooling!! That's what my vascular doc said to look up. I called the office and asked them what it was and the lady at the front desk forgot to call me back. When I called back in they said...
This is funny (actually sad) - I asked my PCP if he could check for Hyper-coagulation and he said "You don't have that, and you don't have to worry about that." Then he said that Hyper-coagulation...
I went to the doctor about my feet turning grayish blue when sitting on a stool or any chair where my feet don't hit the ground. I've always had spider veins and varicose veins, and she noted them...
Teragram, I would call TSA and see what they say. The number I was given is 703-603-1550. I don't know if that was specifically for Reagan National Airport, but I would assume that their rules apply...
Thanks, Marigold. I'll give that a try and also try to split up the tinctures between my husband and myself. Maybe that will help too. I'm feeling much more relaxed about it now and I really...
Thank you all so much. I appreciate your opinions! I called the airport and they gave me the number to TSA. The TSA agent informed me that I could request a supervisor to review the liquid...
