That's the best article I've found so far: http://www.lyme-treatment.com/2014/05/working-with-essential-oils.html...
It depends on what you are taking. 0 size capsules are 50% more time to fill and 50% more capsules to swallow, which is a major problem with JK, if you need to take a tablespoon worth at a time....
Yeah, I've read that and the one it refers to... nothing really specific, like what oils affect B.b. the most, how to apply etc....
Are there any lyme specific essential oil protocols? What to apply topically and where, what to eat and when/how much etc?...
I wouldn't say it burns, but it's like drinking sand... I've switched to a 00 capsule machine and only take Cat's Claw as powder in a drink now, which is much milder....
Don't forget about probiotics and fermented foods then. Also bone broth and collagen/gelatin from Great Lakes is a good thing to add everywhere - it's very easy to digest. MCT oil (aka coconut oil)...
@lmlynn Are you (been) taking antibiotics? If so most likely your gut micro-flora is unhappy and cannot process the food you eat....
Some useful reading about VSL3: https://www.amazon.com/review/RTV7F17ZKX5JE/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0050YACWC TL;DR: start on 1/4 of the pill and _slowly_ work it up. +1 on fermenting food...
Thank you!...
In the neuroborreliosis specific treatment chapter he mentions a herb, which he says is a must. Can anyone please check or remembers the name?...
After the illness and a course of treatment, which I dare say is successful so far, my right knee became extremely noisy when I stand up or do any lower leg rotation/movement. Any ideas about...
Don't take ABXes when you are not sure if you have Lyme. Find LLMD and get properly tested. Meanwhile look into this Possible RA causes and solutions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgCbKd8YZZk ...
0) Get Tested 1) Optimal range is 50-60 ng/ml 2) Best way to get there is 20 mins high sun exposure every day (plus multitude of other health benefits) 3) Winter time is 5000 iu/day for _me_. See 0)....
It depends how fine is the powder. Sometimes it might be too coarse to drink straight. Buy some 00 size capsules, capsule machine and voila. But keep in mind that bad tasting is actually a plus when...
Good night sleep, no internet in the evening and ice cold shower in the morning might do the job much better then any stimulant....
It is a tough call. In the similar situation we've decided not to treat without symptoms and just be more aware. My rational based on some years in the near medical field is that you need to treat a...
@dismissed - you can also supplement with some herbs - Cat's Claw, Japanese Knotweed etc. Check Buhner's protocol....
I've recently bought 32 oz jar from them via ebay, it's 2 times cheaper then droppers per oz. (free shipping, ebay coupon) Delivered in 3 days in perfect condition....
There is also Mito-Charger: http://aorhealth.com/products/mito-charger 2 caps with each meal to get a daily: R(+)-Lipoic acid 150 mg Co-enzyme Q10 100 mg Rhodiola Rosea 150 mg Benfotiamine 150 mg...
It actually might be coffee, try raw coca powder next time and see if it will have the same effect. It blends into a great foamy drink with a hand mixer or any kind of mixer (see img below) I know...
Core Buhner is not that expensive if you buy in bulk and fill you own capsules. Much cheaper then antibiotics per month, even without additional cost of probiotics. As far as I understand herbs work...
Also look into intermittent fasting (IT) and fasting in general. It is the most powerful and natural way to reboot the immune system and do some "house cleanup"....
That's a good point, but on the other hand Rifampin is a strong CYP3A4 inducer...
Been busy might be a bad thing or a good thing... depending if you get a solid rest after that. Make sure that you go to sleep early, so you catch as much deep sleep as possible. Stress affects...
After one month on Doxy + Rifampin and another on Azithromycin + Rifampin (and Buhner during the day) my Bart/Lyme symptoms have almost gone, so I've asked my doc to add 2 weeks worth of Tindamax...
Finally got that Victorio mill. Well, what can I say, it works and can grind the roots to dust. But it takes ages to prepare a few days worth. Get an audiobook and prepare for an exercise....
When having a chest pain try to move you shoulders to stretch the chest in and out. Is it causing similar pain? If yes, then it's a good thing :blush: meaning that most likely it's not your heart,...
This one right? https://www.amazon.com/Hand-Operated-Grain-VICTORIO-VKP1012/dp/B0018P54TS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480304526&sr=8-3&keywords=victorio+mill How is it holding up? Does it mill into a...
No effect on herxing, but it helped me with the gum health a lot. My hygienist was really impressed....
For a change I've bought a slices version of the Polygonum Cuspidatum for my Buhner Protocol and the powder I've managed to make out of it on my own smells and tastes miles fresher then the...
Intermittent fasting, ketosis and low carb states are quite natural for humans with some seasonal starchy root intake. And going this way definitely reduces inflammation and as some studies suggest...
People who don't herx usually don't go online to right about it or look for extra help on forums... so we might have a very selective bias here. That's said, doxy is quite nasty stuff by itself, it's...
Or Phase 1: Take Scullcap Phase 2: Take half dose of Prozac for the same effect ... Profit! :idea:...
In his "Healing Lyme" book Buhner says only about 20% of people herx. And probably half of that is just a bad reaction to meds....
Mine goes like a trippy traffic light all day: pink from Rifampin, neon lime from B12, pumpkin orange from Japanese Knotweed. :smhair:...
Add skin brush and any mild exercise which will make you sweat a little. Your skin is your biggest detox organ. Use it. If you buy Japanese Knotweed in bulk (or find in the nearest forest - it grows...
I don't think 15 is enough either, that's why I take 11) Probiotic 150 B during the day right in the middle of Doxy cycle and 27) Slow release Probiotic 15 B last thing before sleep, so they have...
Back-pain can be anything, not necessary lyme related. I'd start with the functional test and checking this guy on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/johnbchiro/search?query=back...
4 miles is just ~ 8000 steps (actually less for my frame), really nothing to brag about. Everyone should strive to do it - it's an excellent way to get oxygenated and kick the detox. It's not clear...
Thanks! Just what I was thinking about. Might be just enough for 1 day worth of supplements. :tongue:...
What I find crucial for myself are small things like Magnesium and hot bath to get a good sleep and meditation and spending some time outside to keep the headaches under control....
While trying to supplement and space the meds prescribed by my llmd I decided to snap the picture, as it's starting to look wild and requires some serious planning. :idea: Not included are Apple...
I guess all MDs are different, LL or not. Antibiotics are a blunt weapon, but from what I read the risk of not taking them outweighs the gut/immune system damage. Even Stephen’s outlook seems to be...
You think so by the test results?...
Thanks! Thats where I've started a month ago when I've started to suspect the infection. You and this forum are the well/th of information! Wow, that's really involved. Need to wait for a clear day...
Hello everyone! I understand that seeking a medical advice online is a desperate thing, but LLMDs are hard to find and Lyme is quite controversial, so any information, even anecdotal might be useful....
