Thanks, CD. I already have that book and it kind of led me to where I am now. I'm going to take a few more days to re-think what I'm doing. I may be herxing on Buhner's max Bart protocol (I slowly...
Thing is I've only been 'clinically' diagnosed and there are lot of other 'scary' things out there that could be causing these vibrations. So you start to doubt. I know I got these last May (checked...
Thanks. Not sure what to do right now, will think about it. I've heard and somewhat believe it could be anxiety...though at first glance you wouldn't think so. I am going through some other stress...
This is bugging me so much now I'm stopping all herbs/supplements for a while to see if it goes away. It's making me very anxious and I can't sleep. Feel it during the day too. Always on my mind....
Right, thanx. I recently added artemisinin, turmeric and riboflavin into my 'mix' and finally understood what a real herx felt like... I stopped taking them. I'll wait a few days and then add one in...
for example, artemisinin. What next? Back off and use it at a lower dosage?...
Thanks, CD. Will look into those. Can't wait to find the miracle herb!...
Well I'm on quite a laundry list already if you look at the protocols I'm taking! Not sure where I would be able to swallow some more stuff...but gee...ok, how about this, what would your top 3...
Thanks for that. Yes, I think "conquering nerve issues" is where my focus is leading me as well. I have a sore burning, tingling left foot whenever I walk or exercise, I can't sprint when I was able...
It does seem like it's time for a change. You could always go back if you feel you need to....
I got a stent put in my heart artery 4 years ago and I consider myself somewhat of an athlete. All my 'issues' started around then and have been ongoing since, off and on. These issues range from...
It feels like my brain is shaking, goes all the way up and down my spine. Vibrating, electric shaking shocky type feeling. Comes and goes but recently started with a vengeance. Can feel it mostly...
Something I always keep in mind is what my LLND said: if you see/feel any improvements, however slight, it's a good sign for things to come so stay the course!...
It's pretty noticeable. I'm treating for Bartonella and Babesia with both Buhner and Cowden full protocols (no abs). I know it's not 'over doing' the herbs, as I got this 'red-eye' when I was doing...
My left eye gets all red and bloodshot after I take my herbs. Some white bumps come out too. Isn't painful but I can feel it. It slowly goes away until the next dosage then ramps back up. Does anyone...
Sounds good. I needed a 'lazy man's guide to detoxing' and to put lemon in water seems like just the ticket! Thx....
Is this a form of detoxing?...
Thanks for bringing this topic up, myeezy. Specific to Georgia's response: Georgia can you tell me what the symptoms of your exercise-induced herxes were? Thx....
Or does it affect effectiveness of itself or the herbs?...
This was passed on to me by CD. It comes from the Cowden folks: http://www.nutramedix.ec/ns/images/stories/ProductCompatibilityChart.pdf...
Thanks for these valuable nuggets. Especially the reasons for holding the course on Buhner. Got it. Am on a good probiotic and started the GAPS diet last week, so I'm 'watching my gut' CD, you sent...
My gut says Buhner has a stronger, exclusive protocol towards Bart...but I believe I've read that the Cowden Support Program claims to 'cover many of the bases': co-infections and lyme....
With CBT you basically 'talk to yourself'. It works but with lyme I think there is a physiological element to it that makes it hard to convince yourself that, for example, 'it's not hurting'. It's...
I don't get air hunger but I do get a 'as-yet unidentified' form of dysautonomia when I exercise (even climb stairs :-( I chalk it up to lyme and co. messing with the nervous system; wrong messages...
CD and I 'spoke' about this briefly; I'm talking full protocol for both. No abx. I've been on Buhner (for Bart) for about a month now (up to full dosages) with some marked improvement and have also...
I know where you're coming from (from all angles). I ended up with a llnd in Kingston and I think it was a good start. Do whatever you can to get started on your own, even if it's a herbal protocol....
Also remember that when you recognize something like this happening to you a new 'system' kicks in called anxiety which has its own terrible symptoms. It could be possible you experienced the...
Consider the intro on the GAPS diet. I'm doing it now, about a week in. Never thought I could make bone broth and eat this much soup, but it's actually easy to do (I found a vid on youtube) and it's...
I'm pretty sure mine was a tick bite. For some reason I always (well, since the summer anyways) thought treating for Bart would also treat for the 'basic' lyme. But now I second guess that and will...
Thanks. My LLND had me on stuff just for Bart. I was thinking lyme would be kind of the fundamental infection and then the co-infections, like Bart, on top of it. So I'm questioning whether I should...
Or do they go hand in hand? I've been treating herbal for Bart, but I haven't done anything specifically for Lyme (except for the cross over herbs like Japanese Knotweed). I went straight after the...
Sounds like some people are already on 'restrictive' diets. I do know that certain foods, at different times, can have disastrous effect on my symptoms, so I assume the gut is playing a big role in...
Right. Thx. for the responses. "Food for thought"!...
How many of you are committed to a specific diet? Have you found success with it? I've read about the GAPS diet and how it can 'fix' our gut (80 percent of our immune system lives there?) I wonder...
Probably a holter as girlie says. If they find any cardiac problems they'll obviously zero in and treat for that. It's good tho that you'll get a lyme test to see if it is the cause of your...
Thanks, CD. Will check those places. Appreciated!...
Thanks for posting your experience lymepickle. This may be a dumb question but: how are you getting your antibiotics? Is a doctor prescribing them and then you're experimenting? I'm all for taking...
I would get it when I was falling asleep. I don't think mine was intense and I didn't know what it was or how to describe it until I read, 'air hunger' and then I said, 'that's it!' For me it was...
Scary stuff, really. I'm convinced-now- that the stent that was placed in my heart artery in 2011 is the result of lyme and co. and is giving me an indication how long these critters have actually...
Any recommended suggestions where I can buy it online? Not sure if we are allowed to post sites, but thought I would give it a shot. Thx....
This is a response to your post :-) I know I get 'over-angry' a lot these days. It's not like me. And I consider myself a pretty sensitive person (ouch that hurts) and I know I get over sensitive to...
Dan shen. Haven't investigated that. Will do. Also the allicin looks interesting. I've got red root going and am using the CSA for the sida part of the protocol. Thanks for the advice....
Could there be something in your regimen that you're allergic to? If I take a multi-vitamin, I'm effed. So I stay away from those and I'm making progress. I know this is a pain but...what about...
Roger that. Thank you....
Thanks, very useful information. When you say 'increase' do you mean go over Buhner's recommended dose level (which I'm at now for about a week or so) and once I start herxing from there, back off?...
Ok, good to know. Thanks for that....
Thanks, girlie. Good info. I know my liver enzymes were fine before I started the Buhner protocol....
I started it in early August and very slowly built up to recommended dosage levels (a week now) and have noticed a slight improvement in symptoms. How long do you keep at it? I remember my LLND...
Hi, thanks for the welcome, much appreciated. I was clinically diagnosed with Bart in early July by a LLND. I know the testing for it is often innaccurate (and expensive) so we went forth with the...
Thanks for the informative link. A quick question for those 'in the know': with regards to red blood cells; do you know if any abnormal results occur on say a regular blood test if you had Bart? In...
