Hey ArkArk, Just wanted to mention what helped me in a sort-of similar situation. I had a really bad infection from a tooth when my Lyme was getting bad. I finally got sick of the dentists trying to...
Oh my....I sure am late on the reply. Sorry, guys! Sean, I have had some terrible stomach acid but it wasn't right after abx for me. I actually got to slacking on the FMT's and late last year I was...
Wow, thanks for the info, Traveler. I had never heard of that protocol before. I will keep it in mind in case I need a boost with treatment....
Traveler, was the protocol you used the Buhner protocol?...
I always find it interesting that when I moved to Maryland, it was my dog's vet who was most informative about Lyme disease. My dog has repeatedly tested positive for it over the years, but has had...
One thing I find fascinating is how far people will go to fight fat...i.e., where they might never go to save their own skin. I'm betting if the poop pills work and someone thinks up a way to patent...
I just created a new thread to follow up with this one, as per request from Traveler. Here is the link to follow up with it. http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3556665 ...
This is a continuation of this thread: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3477209&r=x In it, a mod asked me to start a new thread because the old one was getting too long. This...
Hi bdoc, sure, I will tell you the gory details from my end. But you would probably be more interested to hear details from LymeAssistant. I believe he is going to post a reply for you, too....
Thanks, Traveler! I didn't know all of that. I definitely listen to whatever Buhner has to say, because the herbs he talks about really do help. Now I know why he says in some of his recommendations...
Wow, FamilyofLyme, that must be so hard, to have everyone in your family have Lyme. I can't even imagine... Thanks for the info about the Cowden protocol. I'd heard of it, but I've never tried it. I...
Hi eliz3333, Before the fecal transplant, I had been on antibiotics pretty much continuously for at least a few years. I had Lyme for a few years before that, but it went undiagnosed and untreated....
Hi Hornet! Yes, it is time for an update. It will be full of TMI...just warning you! I'm still doing pretty well. Now I am up to the full dose of the Buhner protocol herbs- Andrographis,...
I pretty much agree with just about everything Pirouette said. The first time we did the FMT, I was so nervous because I was worried about what I might be introducing into my body. We did all the...
I did take antibiotics, but I stopped taking them before we started doing the FMT's. My rationale was that I didn't want to kill off the bacteria being transplanted. I do agree that the antibiotics...
Oh cool!!! That's awesome, Missteak! I'd love to hear updates on how it's going. So you've been doing them every day? Do you also take antibiotics?...
lol! My poor roommate has a super sensitive nose, but I haven't told her what I'm up to. So I'm sure that despite our best efforts to camouflage the smell, she smells it and thinks, WTF? Oh no,...
I've found that sitting in a sauna helps a lot with fungal issues on the skin and in the nose/mouth (anywhere the hot air reaches). I don't think sauna alone is enough to get rid of it but for me it...
For a long time, Lyme made me so sick I couldn't work, couldn't think, couldn't do anything. I'm just hell bent on getting my life back. But yeah, I can't say all this hasn't been embarrassing....
No kidding! I'll do whatever it takes. Obviously. I thought I would post an update so people can know more details if they're interested. About a week after the first transplant, I started having...
Thanks everyone for the well wishes :) I do think Georgia has a point. I don't know how FMT could "cure" Lyme or coinfections, because I don't know that it actually kills Lyme bacteria. It's worth...
I'm happy to answer questions. If it helps someone else dealing with Lyme, it's well worth it. The donor is my boyfriend. He is healthy and hasn't taken antibiotics in years, had access to the...
I did it in an effort to get rid of Lyme and the coinfections. I figured it was a good bet since my gut bacteria had to be messed up after all those years of antibiotics. When I say "good bet",...
I've had chronic Lyme disease with multiple coinfections for at least 5 years. For most of that time I have been on varying antibiotics. I've also tried tons of treatments- I take something like...
