I wonder if I could make water kefir or kombucha>>>?...
Thank you for the support. ...and for the subject. Lyme brain......
Hi, it's been a bit since I posted. My son has since been diagnosed with likely lyme & bart, possible lingering strep and PANS/PANDAS. We have a MAJOR issue with getting bloodwork (he also has autism...
You're right, Traveler. We've been doing detox baths in the evening but I think in the morning too would be good. He won't drink lemon water but he is drinking a ton of regular water. His diet could...
Thanks folks. Traveler, that's helpful. Poor kid is having such a hard time. He's just out of control, very short temper, very screamy. The burbur & pinella seem to make a dramatic and quick...
Hi all, We had started my son on amoxicillin to see if his recurrent fevers would disappear and test if Lyme is a reasonable dx as bloodwork had been impossible so far; he had either a terrible Herx...
Those are really good suggestions but I wanted to add that for acute stress situations I find rescue remedy helpful, as well as cbd oil. It's impossible to avoid stressful situations altogether but...
I'm worried about you, nature girl. Do you have someone in your life who understands what you are going through and supports you? I really feel some psychiatric help would be a benefit to you as you...
Thanks gang. Georgia Hunter that's very interesting about methionine; I wonder how the mthfr mutation plays in. Off to research that... A clean Lyme diet free of animal protein and fat is a tough one...
I think it would have to be either moh's or excision. With this type of cancer it's hard to know exactly what you're dealing with until the surgery. This tumor begins in the middle layer of skin and...
Thanks. Have you seen stuff on Lyme & other specific types of cancers? It is a single spot - on my arm - that I thought was scar tissue but it had changed a bit and I went to derm to biopsy it and...
Hi folks, I've been thinking about the Lyme and cancer connection, given that it's looking like I've got some super rare skin cancer now. I've seen the connection mentioned in various places before...
Hi all, My son's been having fevers with no cause or other symptoms and our family doc thought Lyme was the likely cause and gave him amoxicillin (800 mg per day spread across three doses).Today was...
Just a quick note, 23 and me is now $199 (grrr)....
Yes, thank you Traveler! Email sent :)...
Thanks all. I have a call in to the doc. Yancync, I'm reassured about the cyclical fevers seeing someone else has dealt with it, though I'm sorry you have a kid dealing with it too....
Hi all, My son's been having recurrent fevers and our family doc (not llmd) suggested Lyme. I'd like to request pediatric llmd recommendations in NJ/eastern PA and NY state. He gave him a 21-day...
we just got my son's report back and we ran his data through genetic genie (free) and promethease ($5, extremely worth it). The reports we got back were really useful. The info straight from 23 and...
Thank you. Is there such a thing as an llgi? I'm nervous about communication between at least one clueless-about-Lyme doc about treatment. His gi will not be comfortable with herbs, I'm sure. I'm...
Hi, we just found a bullseye rash on my husband. He is on humira for crohn's and I'm wondering if there are any suggestions for crohn's-friendly and Lyme-effective abx? It seems doxy can lead to c...
Oh yes. I actually got major vertigo after the first time I took it - could not stand up without falling over - and MAJOR leg weakness. It was scary but I was warned to go slow with the methylated...
Yep, I do. I've read in a bunch of places that's really common/to be expected....
:) :) :) For abx I'm using banderol & samento. I'm up to 14 drops 2x/day and I usually herx a little after each increase so I am taking it verrrry slowly....
Hi everybody, It's been a few days since I've been feeling some real improvements, and I waited to be sure it wasn't a fluke, but I think I can say it! I am on the right track!! I definitely still...
Thanks again everybody. Yes, his dr's office is getting pre-certification for the biologics. He's done his pre-treatment bloodwork and is now just waiting. Fingers crossed it's straightforward....
Thanks, sparkleplenty; that's very helpful advice. So, given that it's a disease that requires some trial & error for treatment & maintenance, what are the overarching principles at play? For example...
Thanks for those suggestions, all. We had his appt this afternoon and was told that he has both crohns and UC, and that it was rare to have both. His doc was a little surprised about how well he...
Wondering who uses the blood type diet and what benefits they see from it. I watched a YouTube of Cowden talk about how he developed his protocol today and he says blood type diet was very important;...
You can also make jello with fruit juice & plain gelatin. My husband just had his done last week & we made him Apple jello; was a welcome change from the Gatorade and ginger ale....
Hi all, my husband was just diagnosed and we are trying to wrap our heads around this whole thing. He was told he has crohn's and UC, moderate to severe. He also has celiac, confirmed w blood test...
Thanks everybody. It's so scary being broke and kinda on your own in figuring this stuff out. I do wish there was more info about the individual Cowden herbs, because I do like the structure, and I'm...
Hi, I'm deciding - trying to, anyway - between buhner, cowden, & Jernigan for my treatment. I've got myco & obv Lyme (chronic) as well as the mthfr mutation (2 hetero). Buhner's confections book, his...
Yep, magnesium is a definite stool loosener. If you can cut your dose in half for a bit s build up to a full dose you'll have an easier time....
Yes, doing other things too. I was thinking a castor oil pack could be quite nice. I have started green vibrance which has chlorella in there. Was thinking of adding activated charcoal too. Thanks...
Looking for ideas on how to keep up with detox stuff during my cycle...epsom salt baths aren't able to happen right now. Are foot baths enough? Thanks!...
Hi, I just started bee pollen - took one capsule yesterday and had a pretty quick histamine reaction...mild but within about 30-40 minutes. Just wondering if this is an allergy reaction, or a pretty...
Ugh that's awful. I'm so sorry you are dealing with that. When you say the heating pad feels "full," does that mean heavy? Hot water bottles are nice too, but provably not appealing for the fullness...
They are detox herbs. I don't believe they have any antimicrobial properties. I think you drink it all in one gulp or few gulps, then you're not supposed to eat or drink anything for a half hour. I...
That is very scary. I hope you have support and have reached out to your doc. Please do not hesitate to go to the emergency room, as it sounds like you are dealing with way too much....
This may be a simplistic recommendation, but be sure you are rinsing off after the Epsom salt baths. I always feel AWFUL the next day if I forget to rinse....
I have read that eating less starchy fruit (apples, pears) with a meal helps a lot of reduce the sugar load. Being off fruit is too much for me, though...I wonder how many of us aren't eating fruit?...
I figured it out! It's olivirex. All three above are from bio-botanical research. Seems the gi detox is a biofilm buster and detox agent with activated charcoal and a clay as the actual be...
Well, I called my llmd to cancel my appt and explained that I couldn't afford it for a few months and that I'd really appreciate input on what I can do in the meantime until I am able to return. She...
Gracias :)...
Sarah thank you!! I asked this question a couple of weeks ago and didn't get an answer so I called nutramedix and they said everything was compatible. Oy. But I really really appreciate that link....
Thanks Traveler. I am low in D. Also taking flax oil because I understand it's better than fish oil for the mthfr mutation...no Mercury. Are you just beginning bee pollen?...
Unfortunately I am on my own for a few months as I can't afford my llmd until my husband's student loans come in and we play a little catch up. I'm a total newbie at this but am a researcher and have...
Definitely nap. You've basically got a newborn baby. If you push it and don't nap you'll crash in a few weeks. Not good....
Bump! Anybody have advice?...
I'm thinking I'm needing to add an antifungal supplement but I'm confused about when during my treatment day I should take it. I'm currently taking herbal abx 2 hours following and 30 minutes ahead...
