Sounds like a great deal of mixed knowledge on Lauricidin, everyone thinks it kills something different!...
Rifampin up regulates liver enzymes which then effect cortisol levels(lowering them) causing fatigue.. Well documented side effect....
Any more updates.? Appreciated.....
The idea was - No change, either better or worse, try something new fairly quickly, like a month. Plateau could take much longer, again, change or try a new regimen of some kind....
FWIW, Went to the latest presentation at Kripalu last weekend. Wanted to pass on some things I learned. Maybe some ideas to bring up with your doc.. Testing is very important. Reason for continued...
What dose of Plaquenil did you take for your Babs? Thanks...
May do a DNA connexion test as well.....
Thank you, I just got some EGCG/Green Tea extract. Good idea toward diagnosis.....
I am confused regarding Babs and/or Bart co-infection and looking for help. I seem to have some symptoms of both but not the major ones. Babesia symptoms – Fatigue, feeling cold/chilled, cold...
So my Igenex co-infections panel is back and I am positive for Bart. Babesia and Erlich were negative. So continuing on my Mino/Rifampin/Cowden protocol which cover Lyme and Bart. Always lots of...
Adding CSA and EGCG sems to be effective, per herx.. Standard for babesia is zith and mepron. I am reluctant to take mepron at $2000 a month without a clearer dx. Any other abx that is acceptable. I...
Understand that a negative Igenex means little. A positive would mean more, sadly.. Herxing by adding CSA and EGCG telling me something. It is effective but against what exactly is the question. I...
Tested Igenex positive for Lyme in Dec 2016, many bands, have been on Cowden and Abx since then and doing much better. My main symptom has always been burning pains on my back and chest, which...
Theory is logical.. There are many cidal abx tho that kill without needing a repro cycle to work....
So hard sometimes to tell if issues are from Herx or is it a personal reaction to the drug or herb.. I started CSA and was quickly up to 30 drops 3x a day with no reaction, but I have been on abx for...
Charcoal will bind up anything organic, good or bad, so probably the middle of the night would be best, long after eating anything and long before.. If you get up in the middle of the night to go to...
Activated Charcoal should work as a good binder for bile secreted fat soluble Lyme toxins (which are very common) Dosage is debatable as is when to take.. I would think charcoal is very...
Other film busters like Tinidazole might work as a substitute for Daptomycin....
Just ordered some Activated Charcoal. I believe binders are important to remove the fat soluble toxins that water/urine pathways will have little effect on. Will report back any results. Using...
Vit B, that's it......
eomega.com has the Horowitz lectures for sale. They are very, very thorough, almost like a school lecture. I recommend them. I have not gotten through them all yet. Cheers and good luck. Remember...
Olestra, that non absorbed artificial fat that was all over potato chips a few years ago would be a GREAT binder for removing any fat soluble toxin, like a Lyme toxin(or anything else fat soluble) I...
I do not pulse Cowden, I follow the instructions to the letter. I have so much less experience than those familiar so I trust to them.....
Stevia is a common product outside of the Lyme/herbal world so there is much research. Many, but not all, state that Stevia is not absorbed at all in the GI track. So as to make a good low calorie...
Been at this 6 months or so now and have some Lyme thoughts I would like to share.. I am an MD so somewhat bias toward traditional treatments but am on Cowden protocol as well. Symptoms since August...
Just looking into this myself at Quest....
The Lyme toxins are fat soluble toxins, that is why they are so difficult to clear, and drinking a lot of water may not help I fear..it would if the toxins were water soluble....
I just started the full Cowden protocol on Feb 1, will report back... I have been on Suprax 200 TID since Dec 1 and still having symptoms, thou better.....
Serum Titer <40 so Negative IgM Western Blot - Negative - Band 31 only as Indeterminant IgG Western Blot - Positive - Band 23-25 as +, Band 31 and 34 as I, Band 41 as ++ PCR - Genomic and Plasmid...
That is a big question. Are reactions just simple herx or are people having side effects from the herbs? Hard to tell.. Start slow, maybe one at a time for a few days each, or cut certain ones out...
I am glad I found you too...Very... I am stuck and need to move forward.....
I just contacted the Dean Center hoping to make an appt to see a Lyme MD. They said they did not do that but will be sending me a referral list of LLMDs in the area. Kind of disappointed after...
