I am talking about being bedridden and unable to get up and fix your own food, barely able to walk or stand. That is the point I got to a couple weeks ago. I am improving VERY slowly because I am...
magnesium does not help at this point, i can't tolerate it and it makes me more tired....
well I'm on day 3 of being stabilized and my energy is slightly improving daily. The first day I couldn't move, the second day I was able to walk in the kitchen and make some food but it was tiring....
Hey all when your adrenals are required to output more than is being in put you feel wired but exhausted and horrible. I have been feeling that way for a month. Just figured out what was going on. I...
You're welcome and thinking about it now I would definitely go with Japanese Knotweed, lymph circulation doesn't make much sense regarding vein problems, it would be a blood circulation thing...
I am thinking about trying the Holy basil(tulsi tea). How much do you take, how well did it work for you and do you ever get wired from it? It's very important for me to stay away from stimulants....
I had exactly the same thing except maybe less severe. I would feel constriction/pressure in my upper right arm and wrist and the veins in my right hand would bulge while the ones in my left would...
Buhner has lots of herbs he recommends for lyme related pains: buhnerhealinglyme.com I know exactly how you feel about being a prisoner in your own body. I feel like I've been in prison for the past...
You're on the right path! I think everyone eventually finds their way to Buhner's herbs if they have lyme and they want to heal -I am still in the dumps with it but improving i think. Good luck!...
I agree, slow and steady wins the race and I need to not over-stimulate my adrenals that sounds awful! I never want to crash like that again. I am now on 1 gram Eleuthero, 4 grams ashwaganda, two...
I'm taking Eleuthero(1 gram), Ashwaganda(2 grams) Licorice (weak tea) for it. I know Traveler and some others have been taking Adrenal support complexes but I would prefer to just stick to what I...
Girlie I wasn't aware of that, thanks..I do know buhner updated his protocol for babesia and it no longer includes the artemesinin. Well at least it's a broad spectrum anti-parasitic herb that will...
I wanted to keep posting on my progress for other people and for myself so I can look back on it later when I'm well(if i don't have other things to do which i probably will be way too busy enjoying...
I have been putting the powder in hot water and allowing it to cool off before drinking, but i haven't been covering which i will now do. If it's not too much trouble specific instructions would be...
thank you for the link, and thanks both for the advice. Haha you're going to have to find another guiinea pig though, I've already got my work and money cut out for me lol cd3764- powders in hot...
I'm looking for a place to purchase Sida Acuta in POWDER form because tinctures = alcohol = bad news. I found an online store called Dandelion Botanicals http://www.dandelionbotanical.com/bulkPS.html...
thank you for the info, I am just going to stop taking the EGCG for now and see how I feel. Last couple days have been a huge setback because of my adrenals- so weak I can barely move, I've never...
I just found out that EGCG has caffeine in it and I was horrified. Caffeine does is NOT good for my mental state or my adrenals. It doesn't' say it has caffeine on the label! I guess it goes without...
It very could well be my adrenal gland. That's a good idea. If it is then Eleutherococcus should really help and I'm just now introducing it so thats good timing. I'll wait and see if it improves my...
Does anyone else at times find that they have an overwhelming urge to eat and it doesn't feel like hunger it feels almost like a blood sugar crash where you just need to eat something quick. But its...
that is encouraging and just what i needed to hear after the huge setback i've had - I am holding out for the day I wake up and realize I'm not in a nightmare anymore thanks for sharing...
For me my cognitive issues -not feeling like 'myself', the brain fog-have been by far the hardest thing to adjust to as a symptom. But after 3 months of it a reached a point of acceptance and now I...
I'm sure everyone knows the feeling of waking up in the morning after a day of eating crappy food or drinking alcohol and having a puffy, bloated feeling face. Well I have had that before but this is...
yeah well aparently not enough, after upping the dosage yesterday I have been in severe brain fog, exhaustion and what feels it feels like a full on regression/relapse but i'm just hangign in and...
Great news! I had another herx after upping my dosage of Houttuniya from 1/4 tsp once a day to 1 tsp a day(in divided dosage) and oh boy did I feel better after the herx was over(increased body...
Wow it sounds like your treatment has been a real challenge. But you are feeling significant improvement? Yeah I'm taking 1200 mg/day milk thistle and red root for liver support. Probiotics is tricky...
Hi You're right, it's too soon to tell - I just want so bad to have some piece of evidence that says here, it IS working. I'm going to work up my dose of Houttaniya steadily daily until I herx...
So I was seeing a TCM Dr for about two weeks before I started this protocol. He gave me herbs and 2 acupuncture sessions. He said he was treating my blood stasis, spleen, kidneys and liver primarily....
you all are awesome...
I picked up somewhere that you should take tinctures in hot water to distill out the alcohol and because it makes it more potent. Then I read that you should take it in warm water definitely NOT hot...
well some people can't afford to read every new book that comes out. Thanks for passing it on PetaZ, good to know...
I did find some: Sida Acuta and Houyyutania are primarily anti-spirochetes, anti-microbial Hawthorne protects the heart milk thistle the liver L-Arganine: protective of endothelial cell...
I'm wondering the same thing for the bartonella protocol...
Hey all, I have just started Buhner's Bartonella protocol Japanese Knotweed Sida Acuta Huoyyutania Hawthorne Milk Thistle L-Arganine EGCG And I was wondering if anyone can tell me the actions of each...
btw, PeteZa Did you see a chinese doctor for your treatment? What's you story?...
Patience is the hardest thing, I feel like life is going on around me and I'm missing out on all of it and it's driving me nuts. I am going to give these herbs a week(I am seeing him weekly) and...
it sounds like people have had the most success with buhners herbs so I ordered the Bartonella protocol. I'm going to start that(gradually, one at a time to avoid toxic reactions) while I'm seeing my...
that's great i'm really happy for you, maybe someday i'll be on that magic island called normal again. How did you heal? was it with buhner's protocol?...
Yeah I'm on day two and I went off the Niacin and Japanese knotweed I was taking for the psychosis/dissociation. now i'm just taking the herbs my TCM doctor gave me. I've got to say I don't feel well...
I got acupuncture for the first time yesterday - I felt a current of energy and increased circulation but no herx. I have had severe die off from herbs but not acupuncture i suppose it's possible...
I believe there is but it involves finding a way to break up the residual protozoa/lyme hiding inside biofilm. I know Dr Klinghardt addresses how to do that and Buhner may as well good luck...
Hi all, I just started seeing a TMC doctor. He seems to know what he's doing but I'm not at all used to his perspective and don't know what he's talking about for most of my diagnosis. I do have a...
That sounds like what I'm going to have to do as well. My issue with Buhner's protocols is that the treatments are general they aren't specific to me, the individual, and my individual symptoms-...
Yeah i think we know best what's going on just need to trust instinct, a lot more reliable than testing. And yeah, herxing means somethings working. thanks....
I haven't gotten tested yet because of cost and because the tests are reliable. I was wondering, did you start treatment without a definitive diagnosis?...
Hi there, I am going to see a chinese medicine practitioner in a couple days and I am really hopeful that it will help me. I know many people have found success with Buhner's protocol which uses...
Thank you for the information....
Hi there, I read the post about the different types of tests but it didn't really say which one is the most accurate and there was no information on prices. Can anyone out there tell me which test is...
You said you and your daughter have experienced many of the same symptoms, can you be more specific? I have yet to find anyone who has the same response to food- i.e, when I eat my psychotic...
Hi Sandra, good to hear from you. I know how you feel and I never imagined I could feel like this, now I know how schizophrenics feel and I don't know how they go on living. Especially when they...
