Last year I had bladder pain, pressure, felt like something was there, pain when I sat down especially. Testing showed no UTI, sonogram was clear. It turned out to be oxalates irritating my urinary...
Great article Hypatiac. Thanks for posting this....
In dealing with Lyme and learning about the powerful healing effects of herbs, I realized how important they are as preventives, how valuable they are if they're eaten every day in some form or...
Lyme can interfere with sleep in a profound way. It's one of the most common and most difficult symptoms. Have you been tested or diagnosed? A good LLMD can get to the bottom of this....
I'm very curious to know what you find out. Please let us know as you do. I've always thought duct systems for heat and air conditioning were a little too good to be true - healthwise....
"I'm freaking out!" Please try to keep it together. This is so hard, I know. Do you trust your doctor? If you're working with someone you can rely on for guidance and expertise, stay in touch with...
We got ours from in seed form Mountain Rose Herbs, a great source, and ground it in 1 cup batches. It was their suggestion to grind the seeds as needed so they're always freshest that way. $13.00 per...
ChickenArise, thanks for posting that excellent article by Dana Ullman. It's actually his book, Everybody's Guide To Homeopathic Medicines, or something like that, which we used when raising our...
When my kids were babies, twins, they started getting ear infections after every cold. All the pediatrician was able to do was to prescribe antibiotics. After 3 rounds of AB in less than a year, I...
Hi Floho. I don't want to scare you but here is how it went with us: My daughter was 19 when she was bitten and exposed to Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella. We didn't get a diagnosis for some time ... she...
We sent our specimen to UMassAmherst. https://ag.umass.edu/services/tick-borne-disease-diagnostics...
Hi Yogi. After my daughter finished treatment, (8 mos oral ab and herbs, 4 mos ab infusion) I asked our LLMD about relapse and what to do if symptoms start to creep back. He said to call hm...
I'm not sure this will work, but it came across my FB page and I thought I would share it here. Perhaps it will help someone. I can't seem to post an image of it so here is the direct link....
Our LLMD uses Tindazole later in the protocol, same with Flagyl. I believe it's because they are both powerful cyst busters. Using them early on could cause too severe a die-off. Not good. At least...
Our daughter (in her 20s) finished treatment several months ago. She is having trouble shaking the depression though, and getting back to her old energy levels. What we just found out is that one of...
Keep in mind that milk thistle interferes with Mepron and Malarone, the meds used to treat babesia. If you do start either of these down the line, you can take dandelion root instead of milk thistle...
Thank you Traveler. Much appreciated! It hasn't happened before but I'll try pasting differently if it happens in the future. By the way, I've been meaning to say ... thank you for all your work on...
ANA can sometimes show up positive and later disappear. They don't really understand why....
Sorry about the tiny font. I tried to edit but nothing happened....
My daughter had all those symptoms at 23. She really couldn't function mentally, couldn't think. She was diagnsed with Lyme, babesia and bartonella. We'll never know which of the three caused which...
Lily, I hope it works for you too. From what I read, the honey is an important part of the formula. It also makes the ACV more palatable, kind of tastes like lemonade. Like I said, it took two weeks...
My message just got lost but I'll retype. I'm in a rush so sorry if I''m not clear! 1/2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar to 1/2 tbsp honey in a glass of water 3 times a day resolved osteoarthritis in two...
Hi Dude. My husband uses Tom's of Maine, the long lasting one. He's satisfied with it. I use baking soda, just a bit. It sits in a little ceramic container in the bathroom and can easily be applied...
Apparently Gary Wormser has been replaced my another doctor. "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced the appointment of Robert Smith, MD, MPH, to the Tick-Borne Disease...
I can't find any updates on the lawsuit, but here is their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/REAvsCDC/...
That first video brought tears to my eyes. She says it all, and so well. What she experienced is very much what my daughter went through. And so many others. Thanks for posting this. I shared it on...
Traneboy, have you thought about following the herbal treatments until you can sort this out? This is a viable approach too. Many have done one or the other, or both. If you don't know where to...
They're starting on the ground, with patient experience. That sounds like the right place to begin. So after day two, will they be setting some sort of agenda, or goal, for the next meeting?? How...
OptimisTick, that was very funny ... re Wormser resigning ... Bahahahaha. Thanks....
OK, this is longish ... from Dr. Richard Horowits'd FB page: https://www.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/?hc_ref=ARSZqWrAPbuB7aferSl5OIjsjPyCKiQ9k1wskUb_3cITyshMNrRtHpi8Kh0Yrfpfhzk The first meeting...
Thanks for that Youtube link. I couldn't watch any of it today, so I'll catch up. Daisies, maybe they're just getting formalities out of the way. I hope tomorrow is more promising. If not, let's...
Thanks Daisies. I missed that thread. This is a huge relief to a lot of us....
I don't know if that's the same thing. Sounds like it. Haven't heard of another federal group looking into Lyme, so it must be. I think maybe the lawsuit played a part in this. If the suit is won by...
I looked at the bios of the members involved and didn't see Gary Wormser on the list. Was he uninvited?? There was quite an outcry to keep him out of this project....
A reminder The Tick Borne Diseases Working Group is meeting tomorrow. There will be a webcast for those who wish to follow. If anyone does, please post a recap. I think I can catch some of it....

Well said astroman. "The information age we live in- were bombarded by info, hard to tell opinions from facts." So true and everyone is sick of it! I've decided to follow Michael Pollan's advice...
Dude, regardless what anyone's opinion is of Dr. David Perlmutter, I did post the results of a research study which has nothing to do with him. This and other research is pretty damning as far as...
Girlie, yes, there shouldn't be a problem but there seems to be. My personal opinion is that the grain has be hybridized to such an extent that it doesn't suit our bodies like the wheat grain we ate...
Under ideal circumstances, yes. But unfortunately most people don't. Some break it down partially, but then can't digest the amino acids it has been broken down into, and have an immune reaction....
Let's not forget the inflammation gluten and sugar cause inside the body. Both in the intestinal tract and in our cells. Gluten can't be digested, so our bodies perceive it as an invader and mount an...
I have the date bookmarked on my calendar, so I'll try to remember to post here. I want to watch this, maybe I'll have it on in the background while working. Not sure what to expect. I just hope I...
1000Daisies, I just bought Einkorn flour to try. It's an old wheat grain, low gluten, and a form of gluten which is broken down easier than the hybrids available at the grocery store. I'm going to...
Dude, there is sooo much hype around these diet fads! My approach is to keep things simple and close to nature. Like Michael Pollan said, if your grandmother wouldn't recognize it, don't eat it. If I...
Astroman, After your thyroid antibodies disappeared, did your thyroid regenerate? If so, wouldn't you be able to stop supplementing with the hormone? I was on a one year strict no gluten diet a while...
Missouri, I remember when I quit sugar and carbs, I was desperate for something sweet for days and days. I really did experience withdrawal, and I was shocked when I realized I really had an...
Girlie, exactly! Simple and delicious, and lots of it. I'm reading about sourdough right now. I think I'll be trying it this weekend. I don't have Celiac's, but I can't handle the gluten. Who knows,...
So true BabsBunny. Veggies are time consuming. Before our daughter came home with Lyme, my husband and I were cooking a big pile of one vegetable a night, plus a simple salad. It worked really well...
Thanks tickbite, I just signed and shared on FB....
Here is a little more information on the groups' activities ... And apparently the entire 2 days will be live streamed. The agenda isn't up yet but should be soon....
