Seeing you in the fullness of this light, and sorting it out, slowly but steadily, and yes, I've felt so miserable I thought I was dying, I went from being a super active dancer to completely...
I came to this community in 2015 for support and with the great support and wisdom shares here, my long list of symptoms steadily declined. I let go of my eating and herbal protocol and stress...
I've been on medi-cal since laid off last year around this time (I'm 60) and sent in my renewal, not hearing anything back. I called to arrange for something and was informed I have no insurance and...
Amazing protocols!...
Pirouette: Thank you for this generous share! I don't have much in reserves. I was down to 92 lbs with this last round of illness and have built back up to 101. My body has been prompting...
I posted this a few years ago, and found reading what others were doing very helpful. Here is my 2020 protocol, or action plan. 1. I went through my cupboards to see what I have in supplements and...
Girlie: I am so sorry for this and agree with Canfossi, stress is the last thing you need right now. I'm imagining the wisdom of what to do and how to navigate these waters coming to you. Hang in...
Cignet: yes, it was Dr. Han. I am grateful that he gave me the tip that it is good to sneak up on the bacteria and to switch up the protocol and his offering of something to the effect that bacteria...
My symptoms too have waxed and waned, and it seems correlated with stress and allowing sugar back into my life....
BlueRidge Dave: A boss I had at that time, when trying to figure out how I had been reduced to being able to only walk 10 yards, advised I do my own research. I began to track symptoms and lyme...
Back to herbals. I came to these boards in 2015 and worked my way back to health. Life gave me stress, I didn't choose it, but the manure hit the fan with the loss of a best friend to cancer, a...
Wonderful share!...
Good question.....
Welcoming the happy news....
Nice awareness. From June of 2017 until now, life dumped a truckload of stress beyond my control, and I dove right in as a problem solver from a place of being 95% symptom free, with my energy back....
Yup - can totally relate....
I can empathize, my headaches are back. I found the first time around, they got better with treatment, and also, after a brain aneurysm repair....
I was 95% symptom free and back to living life fully, and stress and not being diligent with my nutrition caused a relapse. It took around 1 1/2 years to get my health back and busted my savings. I...
I had excellent results with the Buhner protocol and didn't have access to anti-biotics so I can't advise on the two together. I would highly recommend getting Buhner's book and consulting with a...
Bumping this to review notes - back to the drawing board with an uptick in symptoms - feeling a bit overwhelmed by the relapse. Beginning how I did initially. Changing my diet and integrating herbs...
Tommy, With the herbal protocol, it will take at least 3 months to notice an improvement. You may notice herxing though, which is a sign you are hitting something. I love Buhner's work. I haven't had...
Love to come back to this. Thanks for sharing....
Great to see some of the same names here. It has been a very long time since I've posted here. I've had an extremely stressful past ten months or so and with this came letting go of my protocol,...
Yes, teeth and jaw pain were my symptoms. I think it varies from person to person with regard to how symptoms react. In my case, I had symptoms, and when I began treatment, new symptoms surfaced....
Texaslime - thanks for posting - it sounds to me as if your body/intellect/intuition is giving you information regarding your condition. Trust that! Rather than wait for a definitive diagnosis, one...
If you are having a reaction while on treatment, my very best guess is it is a herx. At least, that is how it worked with me, treatment - uptick in symptoms, 3-4 months down the line, some...
Hi mudshark! Generally speaking, in my experience, when symptoms worsen in reaction to something, like a flare of a symptom you already have, it is a positive sign that the herb is doing its thing...
Different things work for different people - welcome to the community first and foremost. I started out with the Buhner protocol and began to find relief after around 4 months. It has been my base,...
Wanted to respond to logmoss - sadly, for some, depending on the geographic region and how long they've had lyme, anti-biotics are out of the question. I am in SoCal and was most likely mid to late...
Totally agreed! I am back to living life fully, with awareness, and just keep working the protocol in the way that makes most sense....
I love the products ! Just too expensive. I called up for a free consult, and my lyme brain at that time, well, the cognitive difficulties were so challenging I couldn't function to remember to keep...
Thanks for the heads up, I've always ordered regular shipping, and never had to return anything, so I haven't had an issue. Good luck sorting it out. Bet you will!...
I never had that type of reaction. It might be a herx, and if you are on other meds, would be helpful to look and see if there is any cross reactivity. I'll see if I can surface some more info for...
PeteZa - thank you!...
Jo - thank you, and thank everyone with being patient with me coming and going. I wouldn't have gotten this far without the support here and realize being a resource to others is an essential part of...
Listening and caring - I wasn't able to surface an answer to your question on pubmed..one of my favorite research tools...or, by asking google (wink, wink). I bet Georgia would know the answer to...
Listening and caring......
Listening and caring... nothing to add other than I benefited by adding some herbs suggested for the brain aspect by a Buhner herbalist....
Herxing improves, and, if you continue to quest health, listen to your body in addition to your healers, and work your protocol, adjusting when things don't seem to be working, then yes, it gets...
Well, the positive news is, if I get swept up by life and away from here, it means I'm living life fully again. I think a total break from thinking about lyme has been super positive for me. I took a...
I agree with Girlie, I wouldn't waste $$ on more testing and would use the resources on treatment. Welcome to the community....
grateful for the wisdom here . . ....
Yes - curious about the tests. I am tempted to re-test now that I've been treating for over a year to see what they show now, but heck, putting that money towards herbs makes more sense to me....
Love your process Traveler, love how you keep working it, and keep evolving, playing, discovering, and sharing your wisdom so freely....
Trust the wisdom of your body is my two cents thrown in the pot of some amazing ideas and feedback. I like to energy test, whether I actually listen to my body or not, well...I am not always spot on....
I am so so so so happy for you. This is terrific news! Celebrate gently and wisely. A year down the line, wow, can't wait to be present when you report on that!...
I related my dizziness/wooziness to a brain aneurysm which a naturopath I saw thought might have been caused by lyme or a co-infection of bart. The dizziness was associated with HEADACHES....
Hi ducklover - I love ducks to! You've received some awesome input from the community. Just wanted to drop by and say welcome. Here is the welcome to the community blurb I created which summarizes...
Sorry - I don't know of anyone either . . . I can say though, that consulting with a Buhner herbalist is both cost effective and awesome! I couldn't afford an LLMD and used one to fine tune my...
My guess is that it is a herx. Sorry I can't answer the question about the alka seltzer gold. I think goshawk's prompt to up the detox is spot on....
