I have Hashimoto's and just started Cat's Claw a few days ago. I have used the non-TOA form (Samento) in years past but don't particularly recall any adverse reactions or even a herx for that matter....
Yep, mine consistently started a year ago. Very stiff and painful, more so on the right side than the left. Pain all the way down to my right shoulder and elbow - to the extent that I have to...
Anyone seen these?? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GB3ZJSW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3LT7SGVUL267O&coliid=I2X1OW3J078155 "Mosquito Repellent Bracelet for Kids Adult Family Pack"...
Best of luck to you 3Humped! It sounds like you have a very solid plan in place. I look forward to hearing about the rest of your journey and success !...
Ha, I know the frustration. I was a runner turned triathlete and sometimes had as many as 3 workouts a day (swim, bike, run). So desperate and confused as to why the weight wouldn't drop. I would...
Sorry to hear you have the metabolism issues I have, but not gonna lie, it's a relief to know I am not the only one! Trainers/nutritionists/well meaning friends and family will all say it's just a...
Yikes, now you really have me wondering. I was subclinical hypothyroid - had all the symptoms but borderline "normal" tests. I started taking meds and improved dramatically - everything except the 30...
Wow, that's amazing! So exciting to hear a success story! If you don't mind answering, what are you currently doing for your Hashi's? Do you take thyroid meds? And what are you doing for the Mercury?...
Do to receive flu shots often? Thimerosal (contains mercury) is used in multi-dose vials for the flu shot as a preservative. If you have any MTHFR mutations, you could have compromised detox...
bdavis- Barium = 10 (ref .4. My concern is, where the heck am I getting this exposure that puts me this close to the allowable limit?? I eat almost exclusively organic and drink bottled spring water....
BUMPING THIS THREAD I am curious Dave, as to your results? I took the exact same test last Nov and used the same lab via my LLMD. My results came in -I was outside the reference range for Barium and...
Thank you everyone. Just got back from my appointment and I just have to say, I'm kinda crabby. I just didn't leave there feeling very optimistic. The Dr explained two different procedures. One...
LauraJK- I am so sorry you and your family are dealing with this. You are an angel being such a fantastic advocate and caregiver for your sister, she is so lucky to have you. I wish I had advice, but...
I have had mixed results with multiple practitioners. I have even muscle tested myself. I was actually pretty impressed with my own results originally but lately I am testing that EVERYTHING is...
With so many other sugar alternatives and the well known dangers of aspartame , I am confused as to why it is still legally on the market....
" Typically, at the time of the ECM rash, there will be an IgM reaction against the 23kd and 41kd proteins, and no IgG reactions. Within the next few weeks, the IgM reactions persist, sometimes...
Hahahaha OMG I almost spit my water out on my screen! I too get muscle twitches. The frequency, location, and severity changes all the time. After 10 months of treating with various abx and herbs, I...
Thank you Girlie and Lymie Girl :) ~~~~~UPDATE~~~~~~ Good news- blood tests for liver and kidney function came back normal. Considering I had been on a lot of abx , herbs, Art, and Mepron within the...
Thanks for the reply Girlie- Yes, the CT scan is to look for stones, blockage, etc. The NP said I may have too many stones that are too large that would need to be broken up to pass. The blood test...
~~~~~~~~UPDATE~~~~~~~~~~~ Just wanted to give a quick update. Soon after I saw the dark urine (initially I thought it was blood) I began having pain in my right kidney. This is nothing new for me as...
Yes, that is what I was thinking...thanks for the confirmation Girlie!...
Yes, it completely cleared up. When taking it, I would wake up in the morning with at least 2 (sometimes more) painful red cysts on my face. After I stopped, the cysts that I had, remained until they...
I loved Ashwagandha, slept like a baby when I used it and woke up feeling refreshed BUT I finally figured out (after several months) that is was the root cause of my horrible cystic acne. I ended up...
OK, thanks Trav! Relieved to know this now :) Isn't there another med that turns urine red or a weird color? I have had that before too, but I knew it going in so I wasn't too concerned. Is it...
Hello All- I know it's been a while since I have posted. Just a quick update...I had been treating for lyme/babs/bart with all herbs for 5 months but felt like I had plateaued. I told my LLMD I...
One thing I do when traveling is take the meds and herbs in qtys of what you will need, and just a little extra in case there is a delay somewhere, but leave the bulk majority at home. Sometimes this...

PeteZa- Yes, I have wondered about different brands. And I have had her tell me on some products "good herb but not a good product" or "good herb, but you are not strong enough yet" From everything I...
This.... I saw fantastic improvement with finally getting my thyroid levels optimal (not just within normal range). This meant a t4/t3 combo of meds. I notice a slight decline in memory and...
If only I could be so lucky at 80 :)...
From what I understand, muscle testing can be done with just the thoughts in your mind, you don't actually have to hold something in your hand, although maybe that would help for some. I assume she...
Wow, I am so sorry to hear that you guys are going through this. I wish I had words of wisdom, but unfortunately I know nothing about tinnitus. But I am very happy that you posted about the situation...
Hi All- I recently had a consultation with an herbalist who does muscle testing. She was out of state, so the consultation was over the phone. I have used her in the past and found that while she was...
Happyjo- Sorry, forgot to mention- camu camu is also very high in vit c...
I wonder if they even bothered to consider testing herbals against this bacteria. They are so far down the rabbit hole that pharma drugs are the be-all and end-all in medicine. Do they forget where...
Wow! That's amazing! Congrats on having such a fantastic reader! Happyjo- Food source of vit C is best, kiwi is really high but you can also supplement with vit c caps with bioflavanoids. I take...
GH- For a long time I was taking a quality multi vitamin and when I did more research and found these things out about copper, I found a multi that had the bio available forms of B12 and folate, as...
I know Buhner has referenced Hawthorn for detoxing and it is cautioned against with Beta blockers. But as far as the killing herbs, I am not sure......
Love it, thanks for sharing! I keep track of similar things in all my research, because it is too much to keep track of in my lymie brain! I do this by keeping an excel spreadsheet with all the info...
Hi Marigold33- I am hypothyroid too, due to Hashimoto's -positive thyroid antibodies. My EBV test showed I had a past infection (I had a horrible case of mono when I was 15) I didn't tolerate Levo or...
Thank you Rowingmom As a matter of fact, I DID take Hawthorne after the tingling started. My go-to detox tonic is Hawthorne and Burbur tinctures together. Unfortunately I didn't notice a difference....
Hi Carla- The only time I have had similar sensations all over my body was when I was consuming gluten. I would wake up in the middle of the night and feel like my whole body was on fire - burning up...
I saw this article last night. The theory definitely makes a lot of sense. Getting closer to a cure for Alzheimers and finally recognizing that infections like lyme & co don't just "go away" with a...
Hi Carla- I am sorry you are suffering with this. Try to stay positive, I know it is easier said than done. But I have learned through my healing journey, that it definitely takes time. When given...
All good points, thank you guys. Mister Mike -I was up to a dropper full of the Jap. Knotweed without any herx reactions, so I somehow thought Stephania should be easy. Although it is an alternative,...
Not sure about timing with abx, but my Biofilm buster supplement says to take it on an empty stomach - at least 2 hours after food and 30 minutes prior to eating....
Anyone have this reaction on C.S.A or Stephania or combined? I have been on the same dose of C.S.A for a while (1 tsp 3 x a day) and just added in Stephania yesterday (it is Buhner's alternate to...

Beer = gluten and yeast. Caveat is there are some gluten free beers, but in my experience they are hard to find. But, then again, I am in the Midwest and have noticed that both the east and west...
Carla- Are you gluten free? And I mean checking every label, etc? Even cross contamination in a restaurant can cause a flare. And once you are exposed, it can inflame your system for up to 6 months....
