I agree. There have been new studies pointing to toxins, both chemical and biological causing many so called 'autoimmune disorders.' Always ask yourself this question, if something is truly an...
Are you sure you are sensitive to these botanicals? Did you get tested for allergies to the dry herbal powders to be sure you don't have an allergy? Many times, botanicals like Sida acuta are so...
There's studies starting to show that you can pass these things from person to person through sexual contact, as well as even possibly through sharing drinks, etc. It's really crazy. Check out a book...
Yes, Bart. does cause issues with red blood cells too. Both Bart. and Babesia tend to take home in your red blood cells. I too have noticed these brown spots that you are talking about on myself. I...
Actually, L-Arginine will cause the blood vessels to dilate, which helps with circulatory flow. Diminished circulatory flow with Lyme disease/Co-infections is common and using botanicals to increase...
The reason most of the time that symptoms restart when starting on a new Protocol, especially one like Buhner's is that you most likely still have an infection. This is most likely a Herx. The...
I think much of the issue with doing a natural approach, such as Buhner's, and taking antibiotics at the same time can open you up to a lot more other health issues that just go undiagnosed. I'm not...
Thank you Bluelyme. Just curious, do you use a Rife machine? If so, which one? Which one would you find best? Also, where you able to speak with the people who make the Spooky2? I emailed them and...
That's true. Do yo have neurological symptoms?...
I don't know if I agree with that. Azithromycin shouldn't be pulsed as far as I hear from LLMDs that are lead researches within the field (Lyme and Co-infections). Also, Azithromycin can slow the Q-T...
Does anyone know what the best Rife machines are out there? What places are safe to purchase a unit? What about ones that you can test for frequencies instead of having preset settings? Has anyone...
Hello twinkl1999, Buhner does say that you can take both the Cryptolepis and Sida acuta together. Starting with one at a low dose and slowly working your way up is usually a better way to do it. Once...
I will have to ask my doctor for both of these tests as well. I have a current Epstein Barr infection and was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I have the read that these two issues are found...
Hello Girlie, that's not true. Rheumatic types of 'autoimmune' disorders can cause a false positive with the Western Blot. Though, I believe that Lyme disease, as well as other infections, are some...
Lvg123, most likely you got worse on Buhner's Protocol due to major Herxing, although, you may have had a reaction to the botanicals. The safe way to be sure is to have an allergy test for allergic...
Remember, when you kill large amounts of these bugs off at one time you will Herx more. The symptom of anxiety is just one of your weak areas in your body that these bugs cause indirectly. It just...
You can look at this occurrence in a positive light, now you know not to trust all doctors. It's a learning experience for all of us. Don't worry. Start by looking into natural/alternative...
First, 6 days is a very short time. You will get better with the right treatments. What is the right treatment? Well, that's a loaded question. For your issue, antibiotics are good to start, but...
Mullein and Garlic tincture (liquid drops) may help. Just be sure you don't have an eardrum perforation. As your doctor to look first before putting anything into your ear. Also, fish oil and alpha...
First, three years of antibiotics can wreak havoc on your body. If you haven't been improving anymore, than there isn't any need for antibiotics. They may be the main reason you aren't getting...
You can get false positives, but there is a lot of cross-reactivity between these infections. If you are sick, then treat. Sometimes an 'autoimmune' condition can cause a positive with the Western...
There are a lot of symptoms that overlap with these infections, but your symptoms seem more like Bart. I find that the best way to treat these infections is to go with the powerful botanicals. The...
Cowden's Protocol isn't really strong for Bart. Buhner's Protocol is much stronger and more effective....
I would treat with botanicals. They are very strong and will address multiple types of infections, including Bart. and Bab. Two great botanicals for both Bart. and Bab. are Sida acuta (both Bart. and...
Alxander, that sounds like you may possibly have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). Go back to the hospital and demand to be tested for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. If it is RMSF, they will need...
Please be very cautious here everyone. See below: Depending on the version of Artemisia, most have very little effect on Babesia. Artemisinin is the version that is needed, and is effective when...
Does anyone else smell what your are smelling when they are around your?...
Ask to have your Reverse T3 (RT3) tested as well. Also, did you have your adrenal gland hormones tested? The better test for Cortisol is a 4 point Salivary test (you fill 4 different tubes with...
Buhner says for Bartonella treatment, do it for 30 days, then reassess. You can keep doing it for another 30 days (60 days at this point), but I don't think it matters the length of time, although...
Hello LivingforHope, Which pathogens did you test positive to? Yes, these pathogens can be really tough on us. I'm not sure if you are a spiritual or religious person, but when times are tough I have...
Cberg, if you aren't sure if it is an allergy, and if you are nervous about it, before abandoning the herb try buying a dry powdered form of it without any other substances in it. Then, find an...

I ended up getting the opposite from it and the Samento. Gave me abdominal discomfort/pain and loose stools after about one week. I stopped it and I'm still waiting for that feeling to go away. It's...
First, eat more vegetables! Vegetables have fiber, and fiber will soak up the water that you are drinking and bulk your stool, meaning it will lead to a bowel movement (BM). Second, if you aren't...
Hello Szabo246. The simple answer is yes. Chocolate has sugar and caffeine in it, as well as milk (if it isn't dark chocolate). All of these things can weaken your body, hence causing a flare-up. Try...
Ubiquinol is said to be absorbed much more than CoQ10. There is debate on that, but that's the word around the block....
Thank you sebreg for your response....
They like all minerals and vitamins practically. If your Zinc is low or on the low normal side, supplementing with it may not be a bad idea. Zinc supports your immune system, and that is exactly what...
Thanks Mark for your response. I am planning on doing exactly what you have suggested....
I hear you. Yes, Mepron (anti-parasitic-malarial) is most likely in the future, along with the Zithromax/Azithromycin. Scooterbuglyme, you may also try looking into alternative treatment for Babesia,...
Hi sandyfeet, I don't have any bloating, and I do take probiotics. The issue is just an uncomfortable feeling throughout my abdomen, like when you need to have a bowel movement, but with some pain...
Hello Girlie, I understand that you need to add multiple antibiotics when treating these bugs, but some people are very sensitive, and will need time to build up to it. Yes, you do need to be careful...
Hello WalkingbyFaith, Thanks for your reply. I don't have any constipation. I am quite regular. It's just that I have this uncomfortable feeling throughout my abdomen. There's some mild pain and...
Hello Scooterbuglyme, I too have similar symptoms as you, and I do have Lyme disease, Bartonella and we suspect Babesia as well. I too get extreme shakiness/anxiety, breathing issues, etc. Btw, there...
Has anyone experienced abdominal discomfort (pain throughout, feeling like you need to have a constant bowel movement, etc.) while treating with the Cowden Protocol? I have been experiencing these...
Hello Notime4lyme, See my comments to WalkingbyFaith with regard to how these pathogens can play to your weaknesses....
Hello WalkingbyFaith (great name btw), How much Vit. C were you taking? I agree with going slow, but one can take a lot of Vit. C (6,000 - 15,000 mg or more per day) without any issues, although it...
Hello Dahlias, Yes, I have incorporated some detoxing methods, but not too much due to side effects (go figure - lol). Basically, my whole diet is a detox. I have only eaten organic, gluten-free,...
Hello Goshawk, I have started slowly on a natural protocol, but I have to go slow due to these reactions. Not sure it's Babesia since I don't have the night sweats, and other symptoms, but it could...
Hello Dahlias, you aren't kidding about being scary. I've been around the medical field for years and haven't heard too many people get these type of symptoms, although I have heard about some....
