There's some studies refuting the purity of the supplement. That it has chemicals in it. Can't trust anything these days! So serrapeptase is not effective for cysts?...
What does estrogenic mean? Any links to studies?...
Thanks, I just ordered some gse and serrapeptase....
So GSE works for biofilm and cyst busters? Or am I better off with samento?...
I know grapefruit juice is not good to take with macrolides, but what about grape seed extract? I'm currently on mino and zithromax. I want to add in herbals for biofilm and cyst form. Any...
Yes I read them and they don't indicate any info about cross reactivity or band 31 being ONLY lyme. What igenex is saying is that there's a chance band 31 can come back positive even when it isn't...
Actually, no it doesn't. It is specific for Lyme (Bb) and so it doesn't cross react with anything else: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1520966 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9440203...
What's a good binder besides charcoal? I read that charcoal should not be taken with abx....
31 can cross react with certain viruses such as EBV...
Yes the blind stories, hair loss, and worst of all worsening pain....
My LLMD prescribed me Zith and Plaq. I've read too many bad stories on the latter. My understanding is that it alkalizes the body to allow better abx absorption. Can't I just drink ACV? Any other...
^^ I read that elevated IGG can also signify an active infection. It even says that on the lab results. It recommends I get tested again in a month to see if my titers increase. I don't know how much...
Have you tried natural sleep aids? 5 htp knocks me out...
I don't have the main symptoms of P myco, but I read that some people are asymptomatic. My main symptoms are neuropathy that has been progressing for 6 months which was when it started. At the start...
Ok thanks!...
Alcar has been known to help with nerves. Which abx were you treated with?...
I haven't started treatment yet. My main symptoms are neuropathy which I know is hard to treat. Would you recommend abx or herbal? I see my LLMD next week....
I asked for some from my neurologist. She refused and told me to see a psychiatrist. Even some of them are reluctant to prescribe benzos....
No I am referring to the Mycoplasma antibody test. It measures IGM and IGG....
Since IGG indicates past infection, does a high IGG matter?...
Geez, the list just keeps getting longer. Flagyl zithromax bactrim fluoroquinoneles bicillin...
Never heard of this. Do you have any support?...
I know it takes time but I wanna know if anyone's nerve pain has lessened after being treated for Lyme? I also know lots of abx are known causes of neuropathy like cipro, flagyl, etc. So it's hard to...
Which ABX did you take? Some of them can definitely cause nerve pain...
Does anyone here not have fatigue?...
Thanks for all the info! But i'm also reading that band 31 can show positive due to viruses or other infections other than Lyme? BTW I tested negative for babesia and bart, these were done through...
Does IVIG help to eradicate Lyme bacteria?...
Got my results. According to Stony Brook, I am negative. According to Igenex I am IGM positive. Here are the results: Stony Brook IGM +41 IGG +39 +41 Igenex IGM 18 kDa + **23-25 kDa - 28 kDa - 30 kDa...
Well I got my results from my doc who isn't an LLMD but he does do the igenex. He wrote me a 3 week prescription for Omnicef. Opinions on this treatment? I am scared to death of any medication at...
I'm back. I put off Lyme for a while but now I am leaning towards it again. Reason being, I recently read that Lyme can stay dormant and then get triggered/reactivated by a stress to the immune...
Will LLMD's still treat someone with a negative Lyme test?...
I called Dr. S to make an appointment but the next available isn't for another month! Any other suggestions??...
Hmm, my options show that I am showing my email address. Weird. Anyway, I called the center that was recommended by Sarah. I wanted to know the price of the testing but that person is out until next...
Thanks Traveler for the explanation! Makes more sense. Well i'm not gonna take any risks and just shell out the money for the Igenex. Can't put a cost on health. Did you go the abx or herbal route?...
I haven't been tested yet but I am just worried about the false positives and unnecessarily taking large doses of antibiotics. How can someone get treated based on symptoms when Lyme symptoms mimic a...
Updated my options...
Hi, I'm looking for a LLMD for my initial appointment to get Igenex tested. Any recommendations? Thanks...
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. I started getting these crazy symptoms and now i'm wondering if it could be Lyme. About 3.5 months ago, I had my wisdom teeth...
