I take quite a bit of it. It was the greatest thing that is helping me recover to almost no symptoms. I take three droppers full three times a day. Its actually above the normal dosage in a lot of...
I take only Sida Acuta and Houttuynia, but can't say I have had sleep problems for a while now. I have heard of a couple of people that can't take Sida Acuta because it makes their heart race. One...
I've just wanted to add, that I totally get where Tommy08 is coming from. I'm going to be totally frank here. I also want to point out that I'm being totally sincere here, in the deepest regard. I am...
Just wanted to chime in and mention I had eye problems as well. Burning, dryness feeling, like I got smoke in my eyes, but BAD, and usually worst first thing in the morning. I am treating for Bart,...
I have heart problems as well (sinus tachychardia) which increases whenever I treat heavily for Bart. For me it's literally my last symptom other than muscle twitching. Like many infections, Bart can...
One theory, which I'm successfully treating myself, is that Bart adheres to your blood vessels. When your immune system attacks the Bart, it causes inflammation of those blood vessels. Your blood...
I believe a lot of symptoms along those lines are actually from anemia. Anemia can be caused by a lot of things, but more severely from blood parasites such as Babesia. Although, the way I understand...
Yeah, I might have to do an extract some way or another. I just tried putting it in capsules, and one tbs amounts to 30 "0" capsules. That's a lot of pills for just houttuynia!...
I remember you mentioning to me before that Sida Acuta did that to you. Still for me it affects my eyes. It's got to be the only thing I've experienced that seems like a herx. I'm actually taking...
I had the same problems, also with tests coming back negative for everything heart related. I can attest to what PetaZa is saying, I took the Hawthorn and Motherwort when my heart was really bad and...
Not everyone gets the purple stretch mark rashes, and even people who do, have them come and go. Would you describe your shortness of breath as more like you can't catch your breath, or like air...
I couldn't agree with Georgia Hunter more. For the most part, not getting sick is a good sign. I think the reason why Lymies tend to not get sick with other stuff is because they're doing everything...
Hey everyone! How's everyone doing? Had a quick question for anyone that's taking Houttuynia. I'm trying to figure out the best way to take it. I just took my first bit today to see what happens, so...
Keeping it short since I'm on a phone. Weird ones that bug the heck out of me is the red face where I have the raccoon look, and red hands that are super sensitive to cold. When I was real bad I had...
Yes! This actually happened to me last weekend. I went camping and was taking doxy. We forgot sun screen and I burned bad. In my hands I got that exact same tingling sensation whenever they were...
I couldn't agree more. I doubt you can take too much probiotics. Anything that doesn't stick to your gut you'll just pass through, worst case. I think from least effective to best would be: Store...
I drink coffee as well. When I was really sick, I couldn't at all. There was something to do with my adrenals, because if I had even a small cup, I would shake like there's no tomorrow. Now I can...
I had Lyme which they thought was causing pericarditus, and I was given IV Rocephin for that. I believe Rocephin is the go-to drug from a lot of heart infections....
For those of you that has confirmed Candida, would you mind sharing your symptoms?...
Rikky1 I thought night sweats is from Babesia?...
Unfortunately both can cause heart problems. I'm in the same boat, and mine seems to be more orthostatic, where it races when I'm standing. I have the air hunger too, but it's minor, like a feel I...
I agree, mine wasn't an issue with the clip, but you really need to have a cap on it....
Sida Acuta doesn't seem to affect me much, but I still swear my eyes get worse when I use it. If I can get these heart issues fixed, the rest should fall in place, and I can try things like running...
Oh, and progesterone cream is a new one for me. That looks like some kind of over the counter steroid cream. I didn't know it was used for adrenal stuff....
I hate to get excited, but Bart might be my final answer. A few weeks ago I was having some success with Sida Acuta, but was taking it as part of the Bebesia protocal, thinking that might be the...
I've worn the 48 hour holter monitor. My heart is sinus tachycardia a good part of the day. I've suspected Bart before, especially since I've had eye inflammation before, and I know that's common...
I've gotten rid of practically all of my symptoms of Lymes, but the one thing I can't seem to figure out completely is my heart. I was wondering if some of you could chime in who have had heart...
I agree. I personally wouldn't put a port of any kind in for supplemental stuff. I had one put in (a med-line) but that's because I was getting daily IV for a month. Each time they poke your arm, you...
Well, a low TIBC is an indication of Liver disease, but having a low TIBC doesn't cause liver disease. Liver produces transferrin, so if it's low it could be something as simple as not having enough...
As far as I can tell, there's no Lyme Disease wkik out there. There is of course an article on Wikipedia pertaining to Lyme Disease however. I was driving home from work today, and was thinking how...
Okay, so I just did some quick research on these discount cards. There's good news and bad news. The one I'm talking about is not a scam, per say, but it isn't exactly what you think. Basically, they...
So wait, I keep getting these NPSN savings cards in the mail. It's some kind of pharmacy discount card I never applied for or anything. You're telling me these might actually be legit?...
I feel terrible thinking I'm glad a higher profile person has Lyme and has announced it. I would never wish this on anyone, but it's the kind of spot light we need....
I couldn't agree more with the rules not applying. It's such a weird world of doctors and Lymes. When I went back to the hospital and they tested me a second time with the Western Blot, it came back...
I think you'd need more input from your LLMD to decide on what ABX to go on. There's a very large world of ABX out there, but most LLMD have favored ones based on the results they've seen....
Pulse dosing was my first thought. I'm curious if you've tried that. If you are pretty much treating for just Lyme with no co-infections, I bet you could do some kind of M-W-F treatment, giving you...
It could have been some manifestation of a migraine headache as well. Just the other night I was posting about getting one, and only two nights before that, it just so happened my girl friend got her...
I don't think your body has to crave something for it to be addiction forming. For example, alcoholics go through physical (not just psychological) withdrawal after giving up alcohol. Technically...
After testing positive for Lymes twice, going on heavy ABX and remission, then relapsing with the EXACT same symptoms, my infectious disease doctor (notoriously bad for treating Lymes patients) told...
Interesting thought here, is back before they knew for sure if plastic water bottles leached chemicals, there were stories of where testing labs had to throw away all of their plastic test tubes...
So, before Lymes and all that, I was an avid coffee drinker. You might have even considered me a pro at it. Every once in a while though, I decided that maybe I should quit drinking coffee for a few...
Eating meat helps you detox? Too many probiotics might increase your toxicity? Sounds cra-cra doesn't it? Well, consider this... We all know the toxicity of bacteria, namely species of the genus...
Nice! So no poison gas comes out the end though? Hmm, too bad....
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Detox was number one for me getting rid of brain fog. In fact, I used my sensitivity to light and brain fog to gauge how bad the toxicity was for me. To be honest, most...
Every day I pulled the pills from my bottles and filled an Altoids tin (yes, filled!). I would just check the tin periodically throughout the day. My tin has become my little companion. On a...
For me it was either Babesia or Bart. It started subsiding when I started taking Sida Acuta and switched to Doxy. Sida Acuta is supposed to help both Babesia and Bart, but Doxy doesn't do much for...
The other day I saw an older gentleman, perhaps in his 80s and he was using a walker. The guy carried himself quite well, and had a big grin on his face. I realized why when I saw there were racing...
Cranberry is supposed to prevent the production of biofilms. In some cases, it also has antibacterial tendencies. https://www.wpi.edu/news/20112/more-power-cranberry.html...
I wouldn't be embarrassed at all, canes are cool. Have you watched House? Dr. House is a sexy beast, and he uses a cane. I might be a straight guy, but I still know hawt when I see it. :) But...
I feel your pain. I've had the same symptom for like 5 months and is now resolving itself. My heart would race so fast when I was standing I couldn't count the beats. When I was sitting, it pounded...
