Has anyone gotten an amniocentesis with chronic Lyme? We are in the midst of trying to diagnose a possible genetic condition at 16w pregnant. I’ve read somewhere that the needle used can potentially...
I have a history of chronic like Lyme symptoms… no longer under the care of an llmd. I found a engorged tick buried in my scalp last night. I live in CT and Maine (half and half)… the tick was so...
I’ve had a Lyme like illness for 7 years, stopped treating about 4 years ago, just got tired of the herxes, etc. I was feeling okay, but about 2 years ago started experiencing an increase in what...
Thank you so much! I will definitely look up Buhner. 🙂...
Thanks, makes sense. I was given the clinical diagnose of Bart years ago, and tend to react pretty strong to Bart anti microbials and antibiotics, so it makes sense. Honestly I’ve felt so crummy,...
Thanks all for the input. I’ll try the liver. I tried liver supplements and had a terrible almost herx like reaction. Before supplementing, My iron total was 72, iron sat 23, iron binding 314, and...
I’ve been dealing with the worst Lyme flare since being diagnosed in 2015 after undergoing a routine endoscopy in July. I believe it’s in part due to tapering off a decade of SSRIs. In any case my...
Thinking of trying a coffee enema.. I’ve never done one before but I can’t help but feel my toxins are recirculating and since I’m out of work I’m willing to try anything, thoughts?...
Thank you all for the replies. I was having a lot of nausea and rib pain so I was convinced to have an endo to rule out anything serious. I am certain the drugs from the anesthesia caused this as...
Note my signature is outdated.. not taking much of anything aside from vitamin d and b12...
Hi all. Could really use some input. I’ve had a Lyme like illness for 7 years, I think time healed the most and was about 90% functioning in early summer, despite some digestive issues. I am also...
My first lyme sxs appeared literally 1 month after getting 4 root canals. Within months I got all 4 root canaled teeth extracted by a biological dentist. My sxs started to improve but I still have a...
My llmd thinks I need to take a break from treatment but thinks supplements should be okay. He barely remembers my case when I speak to him. I'm thinking of taking a good 90 days off everything ....
I only ever took two drops of a Bart and haven't taken it since which was over 2 months ago . The two drops caused me to almost seizure and I started night sweats like you wouldn't believe which...
I am still barely functioning after trying 2 drops of a-bart over 2 months ago. The fatigue and burning in my body is unreal. The moment I try any sort of vitamin ( b , vitamin C etc.) or try any...
Hi all. Still feeling so discouraged. Since trying the two drops of a-bart and glutathione IVs I have not returned to baseline. I am functioning at about 50%. Before trying a-bart I was at about...
Hi there. I too am confused by what protocol to follow. I am starting with a cutler like protocol ( ALA 12mg every 3 hours for 72 hours on )...I figure the ALA can also help me detox the lyme bugs....
Thanks Krimpet. Problem now is I canceled on the hydrotherapist before and now she just informed me she won't let me cancel again without a fee. I am just go for it!...
Hi all. It's been 5 weeks since I took the two drops of a-bart and I'm feeling better but not great. I want to try to get to where I was prior to taking the a-bart (75-80% myself) before starting any...
Thank you so much! Last question! Should I wait to return to baseline before trying anything again? I would say I was at about 75% before a-bart...down to 10% now I'm at about 50% after a month of...
Thanks all for the feedback . The a-Bart herx was so severe I don't think I'll go near that stuff again. I don't want to prevent a herx persee but this was like near seizure unable to shower type...
Thanks all . Although I'd like to believe I have more control using herbs...my a-bart reaction scared the hell out of me. I'd like to be somewhat functional during a herx. I have to keep my job. Not...
I felt that way when I first started taking it but it went away. Lots of water helps for sure!...
I am fairly certain I've had bartonella for the past two years. I've never had a positive bart test but it's been borderline and based on my research bart is hard to detect. Is this accurate? My main...
@Cyn101 would you mind e-mailing me directly so I can ask you questions about your treatment at the M Center? Thank you so much!...
Thanks. I think I may take a break and try chelation before try abx again. Is it safe to say since I had such a strong reaction to a-bart that I have bartonella or is that not rational? I'm only...
Just when I thought I was better I near fainted at the grocery store last night. I felt major derealization , jelly legs, and before you know it I almost collapsed. It was as if my blood sugar was...
I definitely feel better off everything but not 100%..only like 75% and I still have muscle aches and a weird foreign body sensation. Trying individual herbs may make sense. I used to take MCBAR-1...
After three weeks of a major herx that left me out of work and on bed rest from TWO drops of a-bart (made worse by glutathione) I am FINALLY feeling better. I still have intermittent jaw pain and...
I am thinking of chelating soon but I am very scared. My heavy metals tests arent off the charts but all my sxs started 2 months after amalgam removal so I suspect there is some connection. I think...
Based on my research ALA can be harsh for people with mercury problems as it pulls mercury from the brain. Andy Cutler believes one should start with small doses of DMSA of DMPS before switching to...
Thanks Purrrsiankitty. I am so sorry you have to deal with all of this as well. Before starting the a-bart and glutathione I was able to go to barre classes! I had full body pain but was coping...
I am worsening as time goes on which is not normal for a herx. I have been at my parents and ended up in the ER yesterday because I tried to walk around the block with my mom and felt so faint,...
Thanks krimpet . I'm trying to calm down but I'm reading about people who had glutathione ivs and were sick for months afterwords because they were essentially poisoned by the redistribution of...
Thanks all for responding. Now my throat is burning and I feel like I'm getting the flu. I've never felt this sick in my life. How do I know if this is a herx or mobilizing toxins/ mercury? My...
Thanks. But do you think I should follow my docs advice and try uvl next Friday ? Could the glutathione be causing this or the abart ? Am I repoisojing myself w mercury?...
Thanks. I'm just worried the sauna may mobilize more that my body can't detox? Especially mercury..is that possible??? I'm honestly thinking of going to the ER. I'm having kidney pain......
Almost two weeks ago I had a glutathione and vitamin C IV at my doctors. This was the second time doing this. After the first time I herxed for a day but then felt great. Following my second...
Actually he is recommending UVLrx therapy......
Yes he can give me supportive therapies like glutathione, etc. He agreed to start slow...do you think I show try UVB or direct ozone first?...
I'm just so scared. I still feel very ill ( can barely get out of bed for work) from the a-bart drops. I feel like if I put another drop of any herb or abx in my body it will completely shutdown. My...
I need some input on yet again another treatment plan. Today I met with the lead doc at the Center I've been going to in NYC. I asked to meet with him after a horrible herx from a-bart (took only 2...
Thanks Traveler . I guess I'm wondering if it would be better to try abx at this point? I am doing a lot for detox (Pekana, charcoal, inflated sauna , etc) but there is definitely room for...
Thanks all. The doc I first saw is not officially an llmd but the owner of the Center who I'm seeing Monday is an ILADs member. I am hoping and praying he can help me! After only taking only 2 drops...
I took 1 drop of a-bart on Saturday and Sunday and by Tuesday I could barely get out of bed. I had one of the most severe herxes in my life (sweating like I had the flu, feelings of knives going into...
Hi. I have the same exact problem. My enlarged tonsil (on right side too) all started after I had dental work 1.5 years ago right before my lyme sxs started. Do you have any dental problems on the...
Sorry for all the posts! I decided to rephrase my question! My doctor suspects I have mercury poisoning as do I since I became sick just 2 months after getting 4 amalgams improperly removed. I have...
Yes, I was tested. My mercury is slightly on the higher side but it's not extremely high. Lyme is also indeterminate only positive for a few bands on igenix. I think I'm going to try it if there are...
My doc is suggesting I try a protocol that involves IV ozone ( mixed with your own blood), a chelating agent ( EDTA or DPMS), and a bunch of IV minerals. I met a young man at the same Center I am...
Not sure if anyone has heard of the vsc.com test for mold and toxic exposures but you take visual acuity tests and it assesses you toxicity. It's pretty neat! I would check it out! My doc had me take...
