yes, I agree girlie, it is an individual decision and a hard one at that. That is why I said only time will tell. My doctor nor I can tell for sure....
cd, I am seeing an alternative health care provider and talked with her regarding Herxes. So we all have toxins in our systems. Some are from Lyme, however, many can be from other things just from...
HI CD, I have muscle twitches. They are becoming less and less though. Some times it is one area that is a continuous twitch for a minute or so. But mostly it is like my foot will move on its own....
I didn't get to read this yet, but check it out. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3420837...
Chappell, Now I am supper confused. I thought there were 2 different drugs for Candida and I thought they were different. Is there a different drug used for Candida? I will investigate and get back...
HI, when you mentioned itching, I thought Candida. You should read the recent Candida discussion on her by Chappell. Good luck...
HI, Mister Mike, how did you do that (find my link)? Do you have a list of the links somewhere that you can refer to? I am in awe! I have read that fluconazole can fight lyme as a cyst buster, but...
HI PeteZa, My parents make theirs outside on the porch. Or in the garage using a crock pot. Also, always use organic bones or as close to organic as possible....
Yes, it sounds like Lyme to me. Please read the "New to Lyme" thread at the top of the page. You will have many questions answered there. I had many of the symptoms you list above. Especial the...
I make a smoothie with coconut cream (it comes in a white can that says cream) It has 21 grams of fat. I add some nut butter and half of a frozen banana. It is pretty tasty. Also, you can do bone...
HI Astro, I am going to an alternative practitioner that using muscle testing to see if I have too many metals in my system. It is pretty alternative, but I believe in it....
Hi Girlie, I was just talking with my Dad about this. He has been treating Mycoplasma and Lyme for 4 months now. His WBC has been going down and he asked his/my doctor about this. Our doctor said...
That is so great. I am happy for you. Did you follow as pacific diet?...
HI IHL, My Mom recently went thru Chemo. Don't get me wrong, it is a hard and long process with terrible side effects, but what you have gone thru and are going thru is worse. Way worse. Good luck at...
I am glad to read your post and to know that you are doing better! You are such an inspiration....
Glad to read your post. Keep on trucking. I hope your treatment is making things a little easier....
Hi, my doctor is in Milwaukee Wi. He is a TCM and a nurse practitioner. He is no an ILADS Doctor. I can e-mail you if you have questions...
Great story Revive and I am so happy you are having such great results. I have been saying for a while if the path that I am on does not work, I WILL do bvt. However, I am doing really well and hope...
http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3507743&p=2 HI, above is the link to Mister Mikes thread where I posted my Candida protocol....
Hi, I posted my exact Candida protocol on a thread started by mister mike. I am not really good at searching this sight, but will try and find it later when I have time. That being said, I wonder how...
Hi, mine was an antibody test. It was covered by insurance. I can look into it further if you would like more specific information...
HI, I would say no, that is not ok. You want the pure form powder in powder form. NO FILLERS. I believe P would agree. If you take it with sugar it is feeding the yeast. Call you LLND and ask for the...
From what I read when you start taking the Nystatin, IF you have a problem you will know. There should be either an improvement of symptoms or a herx. Of course, I had the herx. It was pretty...
My doctor told me that Candida symptoms can be the exact same as LD. Good luck treating your Candida. I treated mine successfully in 3 months which is really fast and made me wonder, but my test was...
Yes, I too still feel a little fragile, I also don't post as much as I could in fear of having a reply that has some absolutes in it telling me that I am in no way healed and need to continue...
HI, Mine still come and go. I have recently cured a bad case of Candida, so things are changing often. I am in a state of flux! ;) Muscle twitching, minor headaches (could just be a headache), minor...
Chapelle~ thanks for your very thoughtful reply. Do you still have any symptoms? If so, what symptoms do you have that could represent leftover inflammation. My doctor is telling my that my left over...
HI Happyjo~ I believe my doctor is basing his diagnosis on the treatment I have completed, not necessarily the time I have treated. Also, on the progress I have made. I still have some symptoms, but...
Oh IHL, I have thought of you often and hopped you were doing well. Traveler keeps us updated, so I knew you were struggling. I honestly wish there was some way I could help. I know I am just some...
Don, I was so happy to see that you commented on my thread. I have read what you have done for your daughter. She is so lucky to have you! You are a plethora of information. Thank you for your...
Mpostelnicu- I think I agree with you regarding "If your immune system would be a bit more powerful, it will gain the edge. So the only thing you need to do is tilt the balance in its favor. You can...
How to tell between Lyme symptoms and symptoms from a ton of other things. Mycoplasma, EBV, Candida, Thyroid, adrenals ext. Bottom line is there is really no way to tell for sure....
So thanks for the replies. Traveler, you are saying that my doctor is wrong then. And also the ONLY symptoms that can be left over are "minor tingling OR numbness." Anything else and you are not...
Hi, so I would like to know your thoughts on being "healed". I have read many times that you are healed when you treat for 2 months past symptom resolution, however, I have also read success stories...
Thank you for posting your story. It seems like your doctor said you were healed before you had complete symptom resolution. How did you know you no longer suffered from Lyme while you still had...
Interesting chart of the co-infections. It is not complete IMHO. Candida is missing. Maybe that is not considered a co-infection, but it should be....
Buttercup and Simela, I have nothing to offer, but I am very touched by your stories. My son was very lucky, we caught his infection early and had my Lyme doctor to treat him aggressively and...
HI, I posted my protocol under a thread about yeast overgrowth posted by Mister Mike, but I cannot find it now. Also, My doctor seems to think I am healed, but I do not believe that. I am having some...
I would say yes, that is/was my experience. I did not have that bad of a stomach prior to getting the Candida diagnoses. My Doctor told me that Candida and Lyme symptoms are very similar. For me,...
HI, I was having trouble healing and my doctor was telling me I was cured from Lyme and that we were missing something. I was tested for Candida and I had it pretty bad. The symptoms I dropped from...
HI, I really love the infrared sauna. It can kill the bacteria and detox at the same time. It is my favorite tool to fight this nasty infection. I kills all bacteria too, and yeast. I don't think it...
So I know this is hard. I've been sick a looonnnggg time. What I've told myself is if I don't keep improving and ultimately heal, I will try BVT. It is really cheep and lots of people are getting...
HI, I have had that happed to me. You are detoxing with the hot water. You would probably feel the same with a hot detox bath. Try doing warm showers for a while. Once you are sufficiently detoxed,...
Could it be Candida...
HI, I am sorry you are feeling bad. If I were you, I would give myself a time line. Like if this is not gone or improved by a certain date, I will go check it out. That will, hopefully, allow...
I did read on the Candida sight that caffeine was not good. that it would raise your blood sugar and feed the yeast. I am not sure about that. It is a gray area I guess. I LOVE my 1 cup of coffee and...
My doc said I could have one cup of organic coffee per day. After one month of treating Candida he allowed whole organic whipping cream ( no sugar). After a while it started to upset my stomach...
HI, I have/had Candida and have been on a high protein meals for about 2 1/2 months now. the high protein is very hard for me to digest and my digestive symptoms are getting worse. I have read how to...
Glad to hear from you and sending you good thoughts!...
