I use essential oils instead of squeezing the fruit or juice. The oils aren't acidic, and I have lemon, lime and wild orange and it's nice to mix it up. I even bring them to the office to put in my...
I just started to try and get up to 100%. I'm starting very slow but interested in responses. I went with Lauricidin instead of monolaurin - can't remember why now since I ordered it a couple of...
I've had some minor neurological symptoms and the ringing in my ears comes and goes. It seems worse when I'm tired. It was mostly gone when I felt about 95% better, then I had a flare. I'm back to...
It can be difficult to get a class certified, but worth talking to a class action attorney. I'd find one in a big city. Maybe not DC - too close to home. Politics do play a role sadly. NY or Chicago...
My LLMD sold me Estrovera when I asked about this. His price was much better than anything online....
I had increased fatigue, foot pain and some chest pain. I had to go on and off due to stomach pain....
Totally understand! I take breaks from various things. Sometimes, I just want to feel...normal....
Claude - that is all very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Yesterday I had my annual physical with a doctor affiliated with a major chicago hospital. I asked about the vaccine. The first response...
I've been seeing dlc in Lincoln Park for over a year. He takes insurance. You can email me if you'd like more info. There is a dr k across the street from him also....
opugirl - is there a site to find out the percentage in my state? I've been asking a lot of parents, and I keep hearing we did 1 shot and had a bad reaction... Also hearing that someone died is...
Thanks again for the replies. I'm still leaning towards "no thank you" for the vaccine....
I have had 2 kidney infections in the past and have experienced some pain between all of the abx and herbals. There is a kidney cleanse I ordered off of amazon that helped. I also try to take...
PDX - that is frightening! I'm sure there have been other lawsuits too. I noticed the pediatrician handed me flyers for meningitis vaccine and another too, but the only one she pushed was hpv. Didn't...
Thanks for sharing Sheeks. I also think vaccines can affect the immune system....
I'm very happy for you! If I had all the time in the world, that's where I would go....
I've read that there has been no proven link between some of the reactions and the vaccine, but I have to wonder if those articles were driven by Big Pharma. I was almost convinced to go forward with...
I'm wary of vaccines since I believe receiving the flu and pneumonia vaccines simultaneously triggered my lyme symptoms. I'm wary of the hpv vaccine because it is only 12 years old and though only a...
Yes, good links. I remember Rawls, who isn't a fan of antibiox, suggested 4 weeks on/4 weeks off. I did make progress last year while sometimes taking as much as a 2 month break from antibiox and...
wbf since I only use it 2x a day it's actually less than what I spent for buhner's 2x a day, and I don't have to mix it which is a plus for me! the downside I see is if someone has a reaction they...
I started treating just over a year ago. I've taken antibiox on and off, and various herbals on and off. In January I finished almost a month of rifampin (first 2 times I only tolerated it about 2...
You can go to biopureus.com and you'll find the cocktail. There is also a tea (cistus) there that is good and helps with immunity. These are things Dr Klinghardt recommends, and I believe he helped...
I'm at about 95% too and am trying to stick with herbals and supplements after using rifampin on and off for a few months (following months of antibiox/herbals mix). After I read Dr J and some things...
I have a really good acupuncturist, but one time I went to her partner when she was out and hated it. I rarely feel the leg twitching anymore. Usually when I'm really tired or stressed. I was off my...
Stress definitely impacts me. I also wonder if a couple decades ago when I would feel something in my legs when I rested at night, and my doctor suggested it was restless leg syndrome, was it lyme?...
I am grateful that my LLMD takes insurance, and I don't go often anymore - every few months. I've done a lot of self-treating after reading on here, researching on line, in libraries. I've done...
I've had the twitching in my legs and under an eye. I also would get pulsing in various parts of my body. I've been treating a year know for lyme and bart, mostly bart the last several months. I am...
I like the idea of switching up the herbals. I've been having some success with the biopure cocktail. There is a tea on the website that tastes good and supposedly helps. It's nice to have something...
For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain it was a flu and pneumonia vaccine at the same time that lowered my defenses enough to allow lyme to take hold. I had all the lyme symptoms that following...
Thanks everyone! I still have a bad morning with the feet pain here and there, but I really think this final push will get me there. I don't think diet affects everyone, but it definitely is a factor...
Ok thx. I'm taking 1 grain of naturethroid. I used to be on armour (for about 14 years. Dr said I could take a 1/2 grain in afternoon. I know lyme plays with the thyroid, and I was surprised to see...
I didn't know anything about Plum Island, but I would not be surprised. Various testing goes on all over the world without the consequences being known, and sadly, sometimes even with the...
What do you make of these latest results? I've been feeling "off" but scores seem ok. TSH 1.550 uIU/mL 0.450 - 4.500 01 Triiodothyronine,Free,Serum 3.5 pg/mL 2.0 - 4.4 01 T4,Free(Direct) 0.95 ng/dL...
I read his book lately (which is old but still great). I was very impressed with his thinking....
My LLMD is okay with berries but he advocates avoiding the hawaiian fruits due to high sugar content, which is bad for candida....
I think rifampin helped my bart. I also took houttinya for several months. I'm currently ramping up on biopure cocktail, and that has pushed my recovery even further. I would get horrible feet pain...
Great idea! 2 cups super greens 1 c frozen broccoli florets 1 c frozen berries 1 c org coconut milk 2 c water lime juice cinnamon 1/2 avocado...
Initially I did doxy 6 days a week and tini m-w-f only. Then mino and tini, same way. Months later I did doxy and rifampin 3 days a week. The last thing I did was rifampin for 30 days. My LLMD also...
I started slow adding a drop a day. After a couple of weeks I started adding an evening dose, and then a week later I was able to increase more quickly. Pay attention to how you are feeling and...
Hi everyone - thought I'd let you know that the last round of rifampin and now the Biopure really seems to have moved me up to 95% better from a year ago. I can't credit only those things, as I...
Also, in case you missed it in my other posts, my LLMD recently recommended Biopure Cocktail (Klinghardt) and I've decided to try it. I finished my last (hopefully) antibiox in Jan, and was really...
Here's the book! Beating Lyme Disease: Using Alternative Medicine and God-Designed Living Hardcover – January, 2004 by David A. Jernigan (Author), Sara Koch Jernigan (Author)...
I haven’t heard of that one by me. I’ll check it out!...
I've posted about oils before. I happened upon a DoTerra rep and she's been helpful in guiding me. They have a Purify blend (not sure if that's the one you mean) that I use in my epsom bath's. I also...
I agree with k07. Keep your immune system strong and watch your sypmtoms. If they worsen, then consider treating. The herbals can be hard on our organs too, so best to keep your body working on its...
I would try anything before steroids, regardless of lyme. I have the feeling you described in my hands. It's gone up and down with lyme treatment. Mostly my symptoms have been very muscular, but now...
I've had stomach issues from all the antibiotics, so he thinks Klinghardt's protocols might get me over the last hurdle along with a, sigh, really clean diet. I'm sure that menopause being around the...
I get this but I'm approaching menopause. It could be tied to hormones as lyme has played with my hormones. My LLMD prescribed Estrovera and that helped....
I get pink mottled skin when my bart symptoms are strong. It's mainly on my arms and belly. When I'm feeling pretty good, it looks normal....
Initially I took it 6 days a week 2x a day with tini 3 days a week. The last time I took it, again with tini, m-w-f. I think it's good to listen to your body. Maybe try every other day for now? Are...
I am going to start Biopure soon for my lingering bartonella symptoms (I've just finished up rifampin and am finishing Buhner's). I've been feeling pretty good but still get the feet pain and some...
