Vitamin C and fish oil have worked well for me they seem to be synergistic with each other. During a flare my intestines will shut down so I will up the vitamin C to 3-5000 mg/day. If it is really...
The problem comes from practitioners saying that it is lyme if they see a spirochete in a persons blood. "Technically" you can't say for certtian it is Lyme or not just by looking at it, even though...
In my case NO. I had the same thing said to me about Biaxin and it goes back to the prejudice medicine has towards Lyme. The same Dr. never once bothered to question what anti inflammatories I had...
Idk how things are reported but my last LLND was completely perplexed because he had over a dozen CDC positive cases in his office alone all of witch were reported yet the State of Utah only had a...
It seems things have changed from the last time I had someone email me. Anyway would it be to much to say Dr. S in Provo? I think there is enough information given that you should be able to figure...
I am seeing an LLND in Provo that is pretty good email me and I will give you her name....
Just throwing this out there and have no idea if it will work or not but have you looked into raw apple cider vinegar? The reasoning is that it is the bacterial that follows after the brewers yeast...
How long? Was back pain resolution the goal or a bonus?[/quote] A huge bonus I wasn't expecting this at all, I started low does biaxin/amoxicillin for Lyme. My Dr. never changed my prescription or...
I hope the antibiotics work for you they worked for my low back pain. I had chronic SI joint pain for the past 15-16 years the same amount of time I have had Lyme. My pain was a sharp stab, always in...
Yes lyme can cause a lupus rash, I am a male and like your husband like to hunt. I have also had the malar rash come and go for the past year after I started treatment. My LLNP says the lyme toxin...
Placing things in your hand and seeing how you react to it is called applied kinesiology (AK for short), the idea being that if your body resonates with what ever "it" is it will make your muscle...
This is a good read if you haven't already had a chance to go over it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/c30966c7-b886-312b-91b6-4cb04799297e/long-forgotten-research.html...
Yes, Yes and Yes it can be due to Lyme! I suffered for years with intense random low back pain in my SI joints. The pain would target the left or the right joint but rarely both at the same time. It...
I had lesions show up in my brain when I was having my worst insomnia and sleeping problems. I wouldn't sleep and when I finally did get sleep it was non stop REM. I was dreaming so much I was...
[/quote] Maybe the term "lie dormant" is causing the misunderstanding. It may not be lying "dormant" but its greatly suppressed and the person is asymptomatic, however the potential for the bacteria...
Yes the numbers are higher than 300,000 but I wanted to use what the establishment admits to and they still do nothing about it. I went back to my GP the other day because I need a letter of medical...
I was thinking about how big the Lyme problem is and I still can't understand why there is such resistance to it. The CDC says there are around 300,000 new cases a year and that only about 10% get...
I wonder if it is something as simple as the fact that borrelia likes to feed on collagen and vit C is used for collagen repair making us deficient?...
A while back after loosing my job, out of desperation, i took some not so scientific advice and started taking large doses of vit C, about 2-6000mg/day depending on bowel tolerance. I had done this...
They sound like a lipoma they are very common in the low back and are probably harmless other than the pain they cause. However if they are as painful as you say you need to get a second opinion just...
I have not read any studies on this so I could be wrong but I think a laser could be helpful. Red light (not just lasers) has been proven to help damaged mitochondria produce more ATP and less free...
lomatium dissectum kills a lot of viruses but I don't know if any one herb that gets them all. Also plain old garlic can kill quite a few....
I was doing great with my Lyme protocol when I ran out of cordyceps. Immediately I started feeling more depressed and like I was back sliding with progress. When I started taking it again I felt like...
Well like I said I am not really interested in it for what it does for weight loss. There are research articles stating it helps the CNS with repair particularly the hypothalamus and pituitary and...
I just learned about this herb and apparently its all the rage in the weight loss world right now. I do have a a lot of issues that resemble metabolic syndrome and I could probably benefit from it...
When I was first diagnosed with osteoporosis the endocrinologist grilled me multiple times if I had been on steroid anti inflammatories like prednisone. I hadn't it was what he was use to seeing with...
Great article but I think it is missing one thing and that is the fact that these stealth intracellular infections are actually bigger than Lyme and are an affront to the whole system of modern...
Have you had your bone density tested? I had broken bones and never thought that much about it. Later I was diagnosed with osteoporosis as a 39 yo male. Many of the hormone imbalances like pituitary...
Initially I had predominantly gut issues and had all of the testing you can imagine upper/lower GI with biopsy, allergy tests, celiac tests, imaging, stool test, H. pylori, parasites tests you name...
Yes my oxygen has been low for the past several years in spite of everything I try. It is always border line around 90-93%, blow 90 is when it becomes a problem. I think Lyme has messed up my brain...
I am sorry that means it is doing a number on your CNS. I never had clonus but developed limb apraxia that cost me my job. It is kind of like a stutter or hesitation that occurs with your dominant...
Mike; I have found both crytolepis and sida on their website. PeteZa; Neem looks promising not just for it's ability to kill myco but it's detoxifying and anti inflamotory properties I think I will...
Due to digestive issues I had to go off of antibiotics and started taking herbs. I have been able to keep the symptoms away but not quite as good as with antibiotics, so there is some hope as I fine...
John sorry you are here asking these questions, with this infection you really have to become your own Dr. Can I ask what lab did the test and did they run an ELISA test or IFA and what were the...
What was your IGG results that may help? There seems to be some debate as to what can cause band 31 to be positive but of the possibilities it is a small list with Lyme obviously one of them. Isn't...
I am coming to an end with antibiotics, I can't take them any more without getting some sort of digestive upset. I am looking at all of the different herbal protocols and have decided I want to make...
Hello I am a regular on the Lyme forum but I am having a horrible time finding Dr.s that will treat it properly with antibiotics. I also tested positive for mycobacterium pneumonia with levels high...
If you don't want to read the update skip the bottom but please help me find a rheumatologist in Utah that treats auto immune disorders with antibiotics. After loosing my job due to developing a mild...
I went on a very strenuous hike this past summer, I had read on a website that it was a moderate hike but it turned out to be much worse than I thought it would be. I ran out of water in 100 degree...
Traveler you have gotten some really good advice from GH. A lot of people take 2-3 grams of the active ingredient in the fish oil cap daily, but with your thyroid IDK what it is going to do. I would...
Traveler; That is too bad with the omega 3's I have never heard of it causing thyroid issues but everyone is different, maybe you could eat more leafy greens? The problem is that most people can't...
I don't know if I have psoriasis but I get a rash on my hands and feet with tons of nail pitting which is more closely related to psoriasis. Like most of you I also had bouts of SI joint pain a few...
Sorry Girlie that was a typo I meant to say I need to take 2000-5000/day just to be on the low side of normal. That is still below 30 the vitamin D council recommends and their ideal is around 45-50,...
I just had another appointment with my LLND and finally my vit D is on the low side of normal at 26. It has literally taken me a few years to get it to this, as a side note I also have osteoporosis....
It is hard to give an exact answer to what 41 means and you need to look at the whole clinical picture. My Igenex test results were IFA negative, WB negative IGM 18+,31++,41 ind 58+ IGG 31 ind, 41+....
The article mentions that they are looking for brain volume and it makes perfect sense to use a computer to calculate the volume of the irregular 3 dimensional brain structures. A radiologist is...
There is a lot of evidence that mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) is involved with Crohn's but medicine can't figure out if it is the cause or side effect. Macrolides like biaxin work very...
Are you still trying to decide if this is TOS or another neuropathy? Any Dr. worth his salt should have a pretty good idea with the pattern or distribution of the paresthesia. Vascular TOS will...
After working at a clinic for 9 years I just lost my job do to an inability to adjust patients. Over the past several months I have developed what I would call "limb apraxia", especially if it...
Traveler you bring up a good point. When I went to my first LLND appointment back in April my Dr. said he had about a dozen CDC positive cases from his office in 2014. We were talking about this very...
