Thank you Blue. I think my protocol has included lots of herbs to address bart (see above list I posted of what I've taken), but maybe I need to try some of these you listed. I'm not familiar with...
I have, for many years, had spring allergies (tree pollen), but this year for the first time in a long time, I do not have issues. I don't know anything about MCAS. I have suspected that mold has...
I have backed off consistently treating for lyme & bart, but the past year, most often I had been taking A Bart, A Inflam & NT Detox from Byron White. With the Buhner protocol, which I followed from...
Hi all. It's been awhile since I've been here as I've been doing pretty well, even tho covid felt like it would take me out. My question- In spring & fall I get bart symptoms. This spring I am having...
Would you have a tick tested if you have already been treating for lyme & bart? I have been following Buhner protocol for several years but have slacked off on being consistent the last few months....
All good info!! Thank you so much!!! Looks like I have a lot of studying to do.... :)...
WalkingbyFaith (ditto!! and big smile), thank you for the counsel. I am giving him some herbs for babesia & just received a shipment of some additional herbs to treat that infection. That sounds like...
Sounds like we have the same infections, Garzie. I have CDC confirmed lyme, unconfirmed bartonella, confirmed mycoplasma, & I previously treated for suspected babesia. Altho I was doing well for...
Well, I must say--I can only spend limited time on the lyme forum, as much as I appreciate everyone's knowledge & willingness to share--& I have been helped tremendously here-- but reading too much...
Very interesting. Very concerning. Isn't there a link between sexual diseases & spirocetes (sp)? It seems that some of the tick borne diseases act similarly. Could they possibly be related? And...
I have been self-treating with the Buhner protocol for neurolyme & bart currently. Previously I treated babesia & mycoplasma with his protocol. I also started treating under the guidance of a...
Girlie~ That is really helpful to know--a positive IgG test can indicate both past & present infections. That is what I was concluding from what Garzie wrote. Thank you! I have been treating chronic...
Thanks, Rob. 1) Where would one get a CD57 test? 2) For clarity's sake, a Bb infection is lyme, correct?...
His symptoms are aches & pains tight muscles that come & go uncomfortableness on chest brain fog difficulty finding the right word confusion lost 15 lbs. fatigue I really appreciate the information...
So since my husband has IgG bands showing in his test results, but not IgM, yet is presenting with some symptoms, should we still consider that it is possible that he is dealing with an active...
I just learned from a medical PA that IgM (supposedly) indicates current infection & IgG (supposedly) indicates past infection. Is that the correct??? Based on what Garzie wrote above, it seems...
Wow! That is amazing! Stealthy. And if the bacteria have only recently changed their outer protein, & the body has not had time to develop antibodies, & one happens to take a test at that time, the...
He said there are no bands present for IgM. What is the significance of that? I don't know anything about interpreting results....
My husband received his Western Blot test results. Could you help us understand? IgG CDC negative IgG: 66, 41, 34,18 Band 66 Intensity: 96 Cut Off Ratio: 3.7 Band 41 Intensity: 115 Cut Off Ratio: 4.4...
Thank you all. Very helpful....
Quin, have you used dna connexions? Were you pleased with them? He's in a time crunch here for a number of reasons. It would be impossible to schedule an appointment with an LLMD or my registered...
Thank you, Quin. I noticed the dna connexions tests for 11 pathogens, including lyme & babesia. How does the dna connexions test compare to the lyme Igenix test? Does Igenix offer a babesia test? He...
He is treating thru a naturopath. And I put him on some Buhner herbs. He has had what seem to be detox symptoms, so we do think he is dealing with one of both infections....
Yeah, that's what I thought. Makes me question this practioner's knowledge of the subject. Thanks....
My husband called a family doctor’s office about getting a lyme & babesia test. The practioner told him on the phone that babesia is a pre-cursor & causes lyme. I’ve never heard that. Is that...
My husband wants to get a test for lyme AND for babesia since he had a tick pulled from him this summer that was tested at a lab & found to have babesia. Is there a recommended company to use for...
Has anyone ever compiled a list of tests to get done to monitor the health of various organs affected by lyme & co? Like liver, heart, kidneys, lungs. A list of what test to have done, how often,...
I just came across this device that is kinda making me think it is like a Rife machine, but maybe more portable. It is a bioenergetic device that works on adjusting the frequencies in your body, from...
No symptoms at this point. He just pulled it off a few days ago. Sounds like the consensus is to get it tested. Thank you all for input, for me & for those who read this thread in the future. :)....
Thank you both! We are in PA, so thank you for the link! Have you used them? My husband found this site https://www.tickcheck.com/about & it looks like the same lab, but there is no mention of free...
My husband pulled a deer tick off himself this AM. He was doing yard work on Sat., which is probably when he picked it up. Today is Tues. He immediately applied adrographis & bentonite clay & took...
Thank you. That is all helpful to know. I have been on low doses of Buhner protocol for lyme & bartonella for a number of years & was doing well. Bart then seemed to have gotten activated again May...
I am wondering if taking herbs to combat bartonella could have stirred up/activated bart that had settled in my joints? I started taking additional herbs to address bart & a few days later starting...
Girlie, I know the insurance would definitely see the Rx from 2 different doctors & call it into question. Dude, that is a great idea. I had my appointment on Fri. The one bite she told me was a...
Thank you all!! This is very helpful advice!!! I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing, but I scheduled an appointment with a doctor for tomorrow morning. I've never been to this doctor (my...
I'm treating for lyme & bartonella, but I think I may have gotten bit again, maybe twice. My health practitioner, who has started me on some Byron White protocols in addition to the Buhner protocol...
XOXO...
Ahh, purplish stretch marks! Yes, I have those! And I've never been overweight, except for when I gained a lot & then lost it all with both my pregnancies. OK, I'm going to continue to increase my...
Hi all! It's been quite awhile since I've been on here. Been doing fairly well, typical up & down movement forward. Marks appeared on the buttocks on Sunday that I recall having at least several...
Haven't had blood work done in over a year. Was waiting for our concierge program with our doctor to begin the end of June to get all kinds of tests scheduled & now it appears as he's run into some...
I am currently on low doses of 24 different tinctures. I estimate at this time that is ~450 drops or so daily. I believe they all contain alcohol. Liver support, daily: milk thistle, capsule burdock,...
I am on a LOT of tinctures for lyme & co for over a year, & am starting to get concerned about all the alcohol I'm ingesting & how it must be affecting my liver. I understand you can put drops in...
Yes, thank you--I was interested to know if I could take antibacterial herbs & probiotics at the same time. Guess I'll have to take some time to search this out. Brain not working well today......
For over a year I've been thinking I need to take my probiotics separate from the herbs I take to kill lyme & co. But something I read written by Dr Rawls made me think now that I don't need to...
That is great advice! Thank you! I'll have to practice.......
Wow, Angel--what a scary experience!! Geesh! Are taking this herb? Thank you for the resource!!...
Kitkate, that's interesting that you can feel it coming on. I occasionally having trouble swallowing food, almost like the food is too dry, but the issue that is disturbing to me is when it "goes...
Yes, I would rather do the whole herb with the additional, complex components. I only took a short round of antibiotics; just wasn't a good match for me. I've decided to go the herbal route....
Where do you buy Ailanthus altissimisa? I did not find it at Woodland. :/...
Buhner suggests 100-200 mg of artemisinin 3x/day But the comments above are talking about 400-500 mg 3x/day Can I ask why the discrepancy? I"m about to order artemisia. Thanks!...
