Yes, Rifampin, my bad. The red one....
I know, I'm super pumped! I felt like crap, but I was so excited at the same time. Pretty messed up right, lol. Yes, and I know detox is going to be huge here. I am pretty sure my current protocol is...
LLMD is the way to go. With regards to finding one, many here would be happy to guide you in the right direction. Also, how long have you had this Lyme? How long have you had symptoms? Did you just...
Been feeling what I believe is a herx since starting my new treatment this week. I'm SUPER pumped to finally feel one. I was on oral abx for an entire month along with Serrapeptase and didn't feel...
Jennysetter, If you could email me that as well I would greatly appreciate it. Lymiemom, To enable your email, got to "my profile" and then "edit profile". You should be able to do it from there....
I also second Runnergirl's question....
Hornet599, Yersinia? That is the first I have heard of that? How did your doctor diagnose that? Also,did you have any bloating?...
Hi Jenny, GI symptoms have been the bane of my existence the past two years. It started gradually with a little dry mouth and the emergence of a few food allergies and then just got worse and worse....
Lymie Girl, I have heard about the extreme heat therapy. Apparently the higher your body temperature, the harder it is on the lyme. Theoretically, if you could raise your body temperature to 106...
You should be able to find the 3% Hydrogen peroxide in you local grocery store or Wal-Mart in the first aid section. I believe that is what we all use....
rowingmom, You harped on the importance of taking probiotics, especially while taking the CSA. I currently take the following probiotics right before bed: • ProbioMax DF (100 Billion CFU: L....
Awesome, thank you....
Again, I just cannot thank you enough for this. All of this information is going to be so helpful. I guess the last question for now would be the dosage. I know Buhner lists some pretty high max...
Rowingmom, First of all, thank you so incredibly much for taking the time for that response. That is going to be extremely helpful for me moving forward. Several questions if you don't mind? The...
Rowingmom, I see that you and your daughter did the same protocol I was prescribed. I have gone through the links Buhner has provided for places to purchase the listed herbs for the protocol and I...
Mister Mike, My LLMD put me on Buhner's Bartonella protocol in addition to abx. So the herbs are: • Sida acuta tincture (from Woodland Essence or [email protected]) ¼ tsp 3x day for 30 days •...
My LLMD suggested on go on the Buhner protocol for Bartonella while also taking a combo of abx. Has anyone else gone this route and if so, what were your experiences?...
Wildlyme, I take the same exact one from Custom Probiotics. Their products are extremely high quality....
Jrspf, I agree with Lymie. If you could post that info, I think we would all find it extremely helpful....
Revive, How long were you taking Serrapeptase before you began to Herx? A couple days, weeks?...
So sometimes it takes a while for you to start to herx? For me, I have been on abc for 2 months, and serrapeptase for 3 of those weeks and have yet to feel any herx. The only time I feel a herx is...
I have been wondering the same thing. I currently am taking Doctor's Best Serrapepetase, and am on my third week in addition to my abx. I have noticed absolutely nothing from it and am wondering if I...
I believe one of the ways you can increase oxygen is by taking a hydrogen peroxide and epsom salt bath. The directions are in the "new to lyme" thread and it explains how the hydrogen peroxide is...
I would also think it would be something you could continue to use well after your symptoms subside. At least I would....
As I have explained, I am currently a college kid who is rather tight on money. Just two months ago I was diagnosed with Lyme by my LLMD. She ran some Lyme tests that came back negative, but was able...
If I could afford one, it would be the first thing I would buy....
Lymie Girl, Yeah, I was extremely strict with my Candida diet. I ate nothing but vegetables (non-starches) and all of my protein came from chia seeds and hemp. Avocados were a life saver on the diet...
Mister Mike, Off the top of my head, I am not sure which tests exactly. I can email my LLMD and ask if you want? But my last appointment she went over a whole bunch of my tests results in depth with...
Kayaklove, So there are tests you can do to confirm Bartonella? I imagine they aren't always the most accurate just like the Lyme aren't, but if you know of any reliable ones that you could share, I...
Lymie Girl, Yeast/Candida is initially what I thought it was as did my LLMD before she had gotten all of the results back from my tests. I had oral thrush and a lot of my symptoms seemed to line up...
I am certainly no pro, but I take three hi quality probiotics that add up to 170 billion a day. I also was doing kefir, but it didn't cooperate with me. Since this Lyme has come on, I have developed...
Traveler, I greatly appreciate your response. After seeing my current LLMD for around 4 to 5 months and running all kinds of tests, I was just diagnosed with Lyme about two months ago (My symptoms...
Link to Photos: http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/JimboThunder/library/?sort=3&page=1 I have had these marks on my upper thighs for quite some time now. I never really paid attention to them though....
Bump...
achievinggrace, Thanks for the heads up about the images not showing up. I took your advice and uploaded them to my photobucket and posted the link. With regards to not really being able to test for...
I have had these marks on my upper thighs for quite some time now. I never really paid attention to them though. However, I was reading through some of the Bartonella threads on here and it described...
Milk thistle is bad? Who is this person?...
Vitamom, Haha, well my birthday is June 1. School has pretty been tough. For these past two years I have been having all of these symptoms but I had no clue what was causing them. I just assumed that...
I definitely hear you from the social identity perspective. I too have always seen myself as an athlete and prided myself on my physique. I have lost quite a bit of weight too and it has definitely...
I turn 20 in June and am currently a freshman in college. I have been through a lot the past two years or so, as my father suddenly left my mother and I. My mother is pretty sick with lupus,...
I know you posted something about talking to someone his age. I turn 20 in June and am currently a freshman in college. I have been through a lot the past two years or so, as my father suddenly left...
I know, I used to be able to eat peanut butter by the jar. It was always my go to bedtime snack. I flare up with eggs too which also stinks. Those are two of my favorite foods. But on the bright...
Traveler One thing I do eat plenty of are avocados, I don't know where I would be without them. I have tried a wide variety of nut butters and they all flare me up. But as I said, I hope that some of...
From a teen's perspective, I can completely understand the frustrations and I have been wondering the exact same thing about returning to a "normal diet". I turn 20 in June. I have always had an...
Yeah, I was a little disappointed I couldn't use clay as it is already something I have quite a bit of. Thank you for that detox article, seems like there is some really good stuff in there. I REALLY...
I didn't know that about lowering your T-cell count. I guess I will take it really carefully. And if I am not feeling well, I can always just put on the sweat suit and put on a few pairs of sweats...
Hi Simela. After spending quite a while lurking and reading here, it definitely has become obvious to me how incredibly important detoxing is as you point out. I was originally planning on doing some...
Picturehealth, did you get an infra-red sauna or a steam sauna? Also, if it was an infra sauna, do you know what the EMFs are for it? I have come across quite a few portable infra red saunas in that...
Any updates as to how well this protocol ended up working for OP?...
I have dealt with GERD like digestion symptoms for a while now. After some research, I learned that most acid reflux is in fact caused by too little stomach acid as opposed to too much. This however...
