Anyone used them? I'm looking at this one, have read some reviews where Lyme patients swear by them. http://earthingcanada.ca/products/earthing-half-sheet-kit/...
Yes, my ANA test was negative, though my TPO (thyroid antibodies) were elevated, Hashimoto's level. This test delves deeper....

He said it shouldn't suppress my immune system too badly. I'm still worried about it. And yeah, it was prescribed to help regulate BP. I'm 100% sure Lyme is the underlying cause of everything, but...
hey all, So lately I've had a new set of symptoms I'm worried are autoimmune and neurological, maybe encephalitis/similar. This began a few months into abx, when my liver enzymes were elevated. Also...
Does anyone know if pregnenolone is useful to treat autoimmune-type inflammation the way that hydroc. and prednisone are used? And whether it has the same immunosuppressive qualities that make those...
also, this is interesting: https://selfhacked.com/2016/04/17/top-11-scientific-health-benefits-pregnenolone-including-drawbacks/#11_Pregnenolone_Protects_from_Cannabis_Intoxication...
My LLND is scripping me some pregnenolone. I have Lyme, Hashi's, and I think some swelling of the brain that is either autoimmune or viral in nature. Are there any concerns re: pregn. affecting the...
has anyone tried biofeedback or bioresonance? I hear they are like Lyme but better......
So the hydrocortisone seemed to help a little, which concerns me somewhat. I took 4mg yesterday and 5mg today. I don't want to keep taking it. Followup tests on liver and thyroid function next week....
I tried 2.5 mg about two hours ago. Feeling better now, but kinda weird. My heart seems to be going a bit too fast, my mind is kinda racing. Also took curcumin this morning which seemed to help...
Feeling worse this morning, thinking about trying the hydrocortisone. If this gets any worse I'll need to see a doctor ASAP...
10mg, says to start with 1/2 a pill, so 5mg. I'm worried I have some kind of neuro inflammation that's autoimmune in origin.....
updated labs, Dr. didn't request thyroid this time http://imgur.com/SjqifCS ...
Here are my labs from February, before I started antibiotics: ALT 32 (range: <46) TSH 1.65 (range: 0.35-5.00) T4 FREE 20 (range: 12-22) T3 FREE 5.4 (range: 2.6 - 5.7) *** THYROID PEROXIDASE: 267...
Hi all, I'm three months into abx treatment rx'd by my LLMD in Toronto. Since shortly before starting treatment, I've had adrenal issues triggered by bee venom therapy and possibly LDN, which seems...
Acetyl Cysteine - I bought some but it says "do not take while on antibiotics" - can someone please explain?...
ABX for three months now. Did bee venom for about four months, Sept-Jan. Buhner herbs since September....
hey all, I'm presently on the following abx: azithromycin, batrim, amoxycillin, flagyll, plaquenil. Looks like my liver is struggling. Any thoughts? Seeing my doctor in a month. Here are my labs from...
I've gotten diarrhea since switching a couple days ago. I take a good probiotic--VSL#3. What else can I do?...
Has anyone tried it? I revived an older thread but thought it best to start a new one. I tried it for the first time last week. Biofeedback is apparently the same as bioresonance and similar to...
my brother has had bartonella symptoms --bad cat scratch marks across his back--for a couple of months. They come and go. He has also had muscle twitching and crawling sensation on the skin. It began...
nice, good to hear :) I just started doxy, plaquenil, flagyl, and rifampin--though rifampin gave me a bad reaction (adrenals?) and LLMD switched me to bactin, which seems to be working....
Did the ABX help you at all?...
I was symptomatic in 2012, tested in 2015 and was 31+... my LLMD says based on 31 (and other things), I have Lyme...
I have a friend with Lyme who's going to try biofeedback. Depending on their results I may do same. Has anyone else had experience with this? One person I know swears by bioresonance but I'm not sure...
I also have bartonella. Maybe I'll add the A-Bart and stay on the other herbs.....
what about changing up the herbs? I've thought about trying A-BART....
I've been on banderol, samento and pinella since I discovered I had Lyme last August. I saw quick improvement of around 20-30% but then plateaued. I've stayed on the herbs for maintenance since....
My LLMD scripped me Septa/Bactin in place of Rifampin. Going to pick it up tomorrow. Thoughts?...
I just ordered colloidal silica from Alpha Omega. Used to use NeoCell powder. Also used BioSil. Hard to say for sure but BioSil seemed to work best. Lyme destroys collagen... what has everyone found?...
Girlie, I read somewhere that Green Cross was selling CBD oil made from hemp, NOT made from cannabis. Have you heard anything like this?...
I don't do IV... I've felt a bit off since starting licorice extract yesterday. When I had my cortisol tested a month ago, it was normal. I'm wondering if my problem is actually high ACTH......
hey all, I just picked up some solid licorice root extract by Wise Woman Herbals on the advice of my LLND Dr. C. I started rifampin a couple weeks ago but immediately stopped because it exacerbated...
I've had it. It first began after I tried andrographis for the first time, I'm guessing that was a herx. It's gotten better though it still comes and goes. It seems to improve in step with other...
thanks!...
I'm taking doxy, flagyl, rifampin, plaquenil, all between 9 am and 6 pm. Should I take probiotics in the evening, when the abx are done for the day? Or sometime in between....
hmm... my cortisol was right in the normal range, so I'm not that worried about my adrenals themselves, more about ACTH given the bee venom is known to affect it. Maybe I'll have the LLND do it, and...
no, only waited a couple days to add rifampin. re: the ACTH test, that sounds like a good idea, do you know if it's available in Canada? Or which US labs offer it?...
I've just started abx and noticed I get a real bad reaction to rifampin. I was doing bee venom therapy til recently, I developed a reaction to that after 4 months of no problems, I think I crashed me...
The only babesia test through OHIP looks for it directly in the cells, which was negative for me. The Bart. test is (I think) and IFA, mine was 1:128. Also, my LLND Dr. C just scripped me...
The LLMD didn't seem too concerned about my adrenals, maybe since my cortisol test and magnesium, etc. were normal. I don't feel like digging up the paperwork, I only had a blood test done... could...
here are some lab results.. T4 free - 20 (range: 12-22 pmol/L) T3 free - 5.4 (range: 2.6-5.7) thyroid peroxidase 267 (range <35 klU/L) (this is the one that was highlighted) Thanks for the tips on...
Hey all, I just saw my internist LLMD for a followup and it's finally official. This is based on my Igenex, my history or symptoms, and a positive bartonella test he had done (Bart test was via OHIP,...
3000 - 4000 mg of vitamin C. L tyrosine and ALCAR. Just started on Cortrex by Thorne....
He didn't specify, but I assume it has something to do with the adrenals.....
No, but he seemed to think the possible adrenal issue is worth investigating... he asked if my urine was bright, glowing greenish-yellow, which it is :/ Gonna have to wait til next week for results....
Thanks! I've heard the high histamine levels is a common issue w/ BVT and Lyme. Need to clean up my diet as well. Saw GP. He's sending me for cortisol, potassium, sodium, magnesium level testing....
Thanks. Can I ask how you were diagnosed with your adrenal problem? And I could've sworn I read somewhere magnesium is contraindicated for Addisons.....
I did the four point saliva test exactly one year ago and it was normal. Back in 2013 it was low. Not sure what my GP is gonna say. Worried hr won't take things seriously. The internist seems good....
