Indeed I got another question about Borrelia for people thinking that it was turned into a bioweapon (not that I do not trust this saying, but just wanna ask some more). I read from the posts that...
Don't worry mods, just tell us and we shall all come and help ;)...
Sadly yes, Girlie. Here in Hong Kong the doctors are so good - so good that they all follow the US CDC and IDSA and knows nothing about Chronic Lyme. I am doing Chinese herbal and supplements now....
Good for you that at least someone is willing to treat you with abx. Not so lucky for me, I am only able to do Chinese herbs and supplements. :(...
So I went to the hosptial's Radiology Department for a few x-rays of my chest, elbows and knees, which I complained to my GP previously. I am a bit worried about the amount of radiation, as I have...
Sure, lotuslight. FYI I have been rotating through these sets of herbal formulae in the form of medicinal tea / herbal decoction ordered from the pharmacy after getting approval from my TCM...
Hi, just as an update, so I have been desperately trying out different types of Chinese medicine with the guidance of my Lyme-illiterate TCM practitioner (yes, nobody in Hong Kong knows about Chronic...
Hi, so I am from Hong Kong and I think I got Lyme last mid-September or so, which my family doctor prescribed me with steroid cream for the diagnosed "bug bite". I did not have any suspicions at...
Thanks Girlie! Don't seem to find cryptolepis on Hawaii though. And it is actually sida cordifolia instead of sida acuta that is being sold on HP. I wonder if there are any more alternatives to...
Thanks! As I've said above, I am also planning to buy Buhner's book, but will just have to wait for the price to go down since it is fluctuating. :smilewinkgrin:...
Hi, so after having the Lyme symptoms in May and early June I decided to see a TCM practitioner given that here in Hong Kong doctors of Western medicine seem to be rather ignorant or apathetic to...
Can they test for strains that are more popular in East Asian countries?...
Thanks, very nice recommendation from you. Here in Hong Kong there is a powdered version of the crude herbs which we can pour them into hot water, wait for it and then drink the herbal tea. So...
Oooops sorry, brain fog haha, just edited my original post. :tongue:...
Hi, I am drafting a treatment protocol and found that most Chinese medicinal herbs such as the Japanese Knotweed, Siberian Ginseng, Teasel Root and Smilax, can be bought from local pharmacies easily,...
Hello, so I heard that raw honey actually got some great anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antioxidant and antiviral properties. On the other hand I also knew that raw honey contains a great deal of...
Does anyone know how to get rid of ammonia in the brain? Apart from abx, are there any other ways, such as herbs, that may be used to do so? Thanks!...
Oh, what a pity. Nevermind then, thanks Traveler! :wink:...
Hi Traveler, Kev9412 here. Just wanna ask which herbal practitioner did you actually meet to prescribe you with the herbs and formula that you found effective? Would you mind telling me through...
Yes tinidazole is the generic for Fasigyn. The ones I'm getting are from India. (Zydus Alidac and Cipla) anyone have those? I once saw a version of Tinidazole tablet 500mg named Tinfil from Fourrts...

Hi Alison, just back, do you mind sending me a private message regarding the Infectious Disease Specialist that you saw? Many thanks! I actually wanted to do that before you wrote, but I don't seem...
Aha, I think I made it. Thanks Traveler!...
Hi Alison, just back, do you mind sending me a private message regarding the Infectious Disease Specialist that you saw? Many thanks!...
Contrary to what you are saying, rice can be eaten I think. Why not?...
They have conflicts of interests with pharmaceutical comp., labs & insurance comp.. That's why investigation into this Disease cannot even take a mile forward in these 30 to 40 years. Another...
Hi Alison, how did you get diagnosed with the Disease?...
Which Dr. Z? Do you have the link?...

How do you treat yourself? With herbs / abx?...
This is likely a herx - so you may wish to lower your dose a bit, but not completely stop. If you also increase your detoxing, it will shorten the length of the herx. Here is a good list to use to...
But did you recover from the cysts you mentioned by then? Besides, I thought you'd need cyst busters for that instead of tetracyclines... ?...
Thanks man. But I am deciding to stop treatment for the moment as Mino is making me too much of a fatigue and symptoms like back pain and dizziness (side effect?) resurges on this second day of...
Oh... I thought the same antibiotics can be used to treat all three types of borrelia, babesia and bartonella? Aren't they the same in terms of treatment?...
I see. How are you feeling now? Cured of Lyme already?...
It is fine to start the mino 100 mg once daily, and then a week or two weeks later increase to 100 mg twice daily. I pulsed tinidazole 500 mg twice daily for two days a week. Many LLMD's would add...
Having taken Mino for a few days what I could say by now is it's giving me dizziness at times. Kind of fatigue, though I am able to sleep for a longer duration before being abruptly awaken. Not sure...
Which types of herbs had you had? And that your herbs can achieve the part of killing the bacteria?...
Herbs can be great of course, just that there is no way I am able to buy them in Hong Kong. Besides, even though you take the herbs, without abx it would be impossible to tackle the most fundamental...
Okay, so after spending like a crapload of money on seeing doctors who don't even recognize the presence of Lyme Disease in Hong Kong, and cannot give me an explanation as to why I felt like shiiite...
I wonder, can CD-57 test the presence of all strains of Borrelia? That would help a lot better in diagnosis and I may see if I could persuade a microbiologist / ID specialist to help me do this....
And the fact that local pharmacies are unwilling to sell antibiotics without a doctor's prescription makes me unable to purchase them on my own... :( And even if I can, I don't know which antibiotics...
Haven't the IDSA guidelines been critized as too strict in its analysis that it missed out many of the Lyme patients?...
Thanks guys, cuz the point of concern is not just the fact that doctors in Hong Kong were either very cautious in prescribing antibiotics ever since the outbreak of SARS in 2003, or they can be very...
Hi, I've got a flea / mosquito bite back in mid-September last year, when a day later I started to have a EM-alike ring red rash on my arm while getting flu-like symptoms such as a runny nose, sore...
