Well...if you own a prostate gland....:) seriously, I had an infection of the prostate 2 yrs ago, and 3 months of antibiotics didn't touch it. The urologist was baffled. 1 month of oregano oil...
Just curious if asthma like symptoms plague other Lyme patients. It has rained everyday here on the Gulf Coast and I'm wheezing, the humidity is probably 95%. Doc told me I have asthma. I've never...
Mister Mike, do you have sinus drainage?...
I have the same concerns. I donated blood every year until I found out I had Lyme. I can't help but wonder about all those people who received my blood....
Walkingbyfaith, "the needle in the haystack" is the best description you could give. I've done that for 30 yrs. Always looking for the missing link, magic diet, or missing supplement. I always...
Mr. Buhner addresses the subject in the latest edition of Healing Lyme. He said he's seen tiny women who could handle large doses of the herb and big men who could only handle small amounts. I've...
Hang in there running wild. I went through 8 yrs of panic attacks and thought they were a result of certain foods. The attacks finally stoped. The Lyme messes up our neurotransmitters. Once I stopped...
Oh yes!!! But not pipe or cigars. One of the first questions my allergist asked me. He said I had chemical sysitivities and it was too the paper...go figure....
I personally have never been able to match moon phases consistently, but...today my tremors returned and I can't think of anything that caused it. Hmmmmm...interesting....
First, I'm glad your better. I doubt your physician would fire you. I've spent 30 yrs Counseling people as a Pastor. One of the biggest obstacles to overcome and help people is just getting...
Something else...For about 10 yrs they treated me as if I had an autoimmune disease with prednisone injections. For 2 weeks the reduction of inflammation was great. But then I would start dropping...
My physician felt certain I wold test positive on either thyroid problems or some sort of auto immune. I had all the symptoms of Sjorgens or MS. Dry eyes, mouth, extreme low body temp 95'. All test...
According to a CBS article I read 3 yrs ago. GNC got into a little bit of trouble over their herbs not having herbs. I don't know if it's true. I'll try to post the article....
That's interesting. My grandfather had rheumatoid arthritis very bad and had started bee stinging before he passed away. I've had a lot of old timers tell me it cured their arthritis. But, they would...
I keep a journal and write down everything. Dosages, Food, reactions, herxes, days I feel better, days I feel worse...etc. At one time I was even keeping up with the phases of the moon (you never...
My doctor gave me a prescription for Lactulose. It removes excess ammonia. I had horrible head pressure when I first started the Buhler protocol. It helped a lot. Makes you a little gassy though :)...
My first sign of herxing is jaw pain. So I would lean more toward it being a herx reaction in an old wound. I broke my jaw at 17. My first herx felt like it had been broke all over again....
Noah2112, the Japanese knotweed has been my hardest to dose. The other herbs caused me no problems. The jk causes me to herx bad. That's where I would start, for me....
The tincures don't agree with my stomach. I use 1st chinese herbs for bulk powder. The Japanese knotweed mixed with a little water taste like dirt. Everyone goes on about how terrible andrographis...
30 yrs. Hospitalized at 26 yrs old. Got better...very ill at 40, got better again, came down with pneumonia 7 yrs ago and downhill from there. Diagnosed with Lyme beginning of this year....
I understand cppoly. Ive been on the buhner protocol for almost 4 months. My insomnia actually got worse. Im still adjusting my dosage up and down, trying to find that sweet spot between help and...
Ashleylynn, I just stay away from processed foods. I stayed grain free for 3 yrs after a year of trying a vegetarian diet. I still eat a gluten, dairy free diet...unless I really, really want a ice...
I'm a long way from well, but when I came down very ill 16 yrs ago I went on a vegetarian diet for a year. I was worse at the end of the year. I cut out all suger, caffeine and processed foods for...
I concur, two symmetrical rashes can be reactions to a number of different pathogens. One bullseye rash is Lyme. Get her to an LLMD. I absolutely love my GP but, he flat out told me "You know more...
The 5 htp did not agree with me. I've been very reluctant to try tryptophan because of it. It actually was a neurologist who believed I had Lyme. I was trembling and vibrating so bad I thought I had...
Where's the rash at? Does she have two rashes by any chance? Did you see a tick? Do you have pets in the house?...
I've often suspected that Lyme sufferers are dopamine deficient instead of serotonin deficient, Due to the tremors we develop. Insomnia is my biggest misery. I usually get 5-6 hrs of sleep and that's...
Are you taking glutithione? I believe glutithione changes the skins ability to tan as much....
How pricey is it? I know his dosages are lower than Mr. Buhner's and I've always wondered why?...
From my understanding, Alcohol depletes your glutithione. Glutithione is our main detoxer..lowered glutithione is what causes hangovers....
New member, do try and get your western blot test. It should show which bands are positive if any. Not to scare you, but a Rheumatologist will probably want to put you on some kind of steroid...
I can only tell what helped me. Taking pottasium. I use "no salt" pottasium mixed in a drink. 1/4 tsp per day. I rub essential oils on my neck and shoulders...Frankincense and Lavender. I apply the...
Thanks so much for the advice. Girlie, I meant to say, there are days I can only handle taking the herbs one time...normally it's 3 times per day. The reason is not due to my schedule. The herbs make...
Thanks ahead for being patient with all my questions. Over the past 16 yrs, I've spent over $100,000 out of pocket on hospital bills,physicians, testing, cardiologist and endocrinologist. The money,...
My first treatment for lyme was heavy internal doses of oregano oil. (Im allergic to all antibiotics that treat lyme). I didnt know what a herx was. After 2 weeks of the oregano I developed the worst...
I did a year of bowel cleanse and parasite removal before I was diagnosed with lyme. After 3 months I thought I was healed of whatever I had, I felt like I was 20 again, only to relapse 3 months...
I suspect jn23 is right. Kinda like folks on auto forums. Once the car is fixed they're driving not typing. I hope those healed are living :)...
Thank you, I've never heard of that. I can eat honey....
I've only been tested for lyme, not any coinfections. I have these typical low blood sugar episodes, sweating, weakness, shaking, nausea. But my glucose is not low. I eat protein every two hrs but...
Don't you hate autospeller? It feels like a hex:)...
My bullseye rash cleared up without treatment. You need to get a copy of your western blot test. If you got bit by a tick and you had a Migrans rash and you have Lyme symptoms .....well...it looks...
I don't know. But it does the same thing to me. I'm slowly increasing my dosage. I take it for a few days and quit. I suspect it strengthens the immune system and creates a herx of sorts....
I haven't been tested for babesia. Maybe after a year on the Buhner protocol. Money ran out fast....
Wish I could help you. I tried every sleep combination under the sun for 30 yrs. Finally my dr. put me on sleeping meds, said my heart wouldn't make it the way I was going. You have to sleep. I would...
I also herxed very bad on the knotweed. It's taken about 3-4 months to work up to 1 tsp 3x daily. But, I'm not house bound anymore and the tremors are gone. I thought I had Parkinsons last year and...
On page 215. Uncarious tomentosa, cordyceps, withania, eleutheroccous, glycyrrhizza I think that's interpreted..cats claw, cordyceps, ashwagandha, and licorice. These are all Immune remodulators...
Thanks very much for the answers. This is new territory for me (not the suffering). I'm a Pastor not a Pathologist :) I tried Culturing my blood in gelatin, After 7 days I took a drop of the top and...
I'm pretty certain it's the knotweed. I've had a hard time getting up to dosage...but, I'm getting my strength back....it's just this bloating. Thanks, Don...
Japanese knotweed 1 tsp 3x a day Cats Claw 3 grams..3x Andrographis..1200mg 3x Eulerthero..1 gram per day Ashwagandha...500 mg per day Plus..Essential oils..Lavender, Oregano, Cinnamon bark,...
So..I'm on the Buhner Protocol and I'm BLOATING ...real bad. I mean, miserably :) I've tried gas pills, digestive enzymes, papaya, etc. I start bloating every evening. I've tried eating only soft...
