Just to echo what others have said - I too had bad headaches for the first 3-4 days of Fluconazole, and later Itraconazole. I took them to treat Candida overgrowth and systemic colonised mold....
Thanks for the advice. We are intending to fog with MoldKlear from US Enzyme, which claims to "feature all natural ingredients". That said, given how well I am feeling, we may not do the fogging....
Hey saraeli, Sorry I missed this when you posted - I've been feeling a lot better recently so haven't been using the forum much. Regarding the remediation - we started out with the goal of doing it...
Great to hear this, mate. Thanks for exchanging a few emails earlier in the year; it was really helpful to me. I am in a similar position to you now and am also taking these for MCAS (from your list,...
She writes a lot of regular blog updates about her experience: http://www.angelanaeth.com/updates She talks in detail about her Lyme symptoms, treatment and journey, and how they have affected her...
I will soon be starting a two week course of Fluconazole to address mould and excess yeast in the gut. What precautions should I be taking throughout the course? Any risks/things I should be aware...
Interesting. BTW, why might someone not want to do cholestyramine? I'm not familiar with the issues involved....
I don't know anything about EC3, but I have heard good things about 'MoldKlear' by a company called US Enzyme. I've not been able to source any though here in the UK. US Enzyme claims the following...
I started keto very early on during the acute stage of my illness (approx 4 weeks after infection), before I had a diagnosis. My reason for starting was after researching my symptoms (brain fog,...
One thing I would add - as you're only 2 days into it, beware the 'keto flu'. It's explained well here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/keto-flu-symptoms#get-rid I managed to avoid it (and twice...
I started it very early on during the acute stage of my illness (approx 4 weeks after infection), before I had a diagnosis. My reason for starting was after researching my symptoms (brain fog,...
That was a prevalent symptom for me during the acute phase of my illness - 8 weeks after infection. It went away though once I started treating with antibiotics....
The inaugural International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness summit in Phoenix, Arizona on May 3-5 with a lot of credible speakers, some of whom I know treat members of this forum....
Saw my LLMD yesterday. We are shifting focus more to the mould/candida/MCAS side of things. I am to do the following: * Cholestyramine 4x per day * Ketotifen 1x at night * Cromolyn 1-4x per day...
Perfect, thanks sandyfeet. goshawk said this earlier in this very thread: ...
Today I received my mycotoxin test results from The Great Plains Laboratory. You should be able to view them here: https://i.imgur.com/ZzC8oio.jpg I'm interpreting this as positive levels for: *...
I have a moisture meter. Also the guy checked for damp in a lot of places with his own meter. So far, no moisture has been found. Granted, we haven't assessed every square inch of surface in the...
But then he said to prioritize cleaning up residual mold. Isn’t that a contradiction ? Or am I missing something? Yeah, that was the first thing I asked him too. He said he is used to going to...
I spoke this morning to the specialist who compiled the report. He said that his gut feeling whilst conducting the air sample tests was that the mould levels would be low because structurally there...
I use Bristol Botanicals. I am based in UK though so only have to pay domestic postage fees. Good quality herbs, and high ratios of herb-to-alcohol, so they last a while....
Three weeks ago we had a mould specialist visit our home to conduct a survey. The home is a 1930s typical British semi-detached home with visible mould issues throughout - things like window sills,...
Good luck!...
Try Bristol Botanicals and Napiers the Herbalists ....
Chlorella is a binder and the recommendation for binders is to take them away from supplements (and food too, ideally). In Toxic by Neil Nathan he says this of chlorella: "Best taken on an empty...
I really value your opinion (and everyone else's on here), so thank you for providing so much great input. I'm fortunate in that I am very new to this illness, and my baseline is strong: I've...
If you want to talk about UK options, feel free to email me: I edited this post to remove your contact info. (Sorry - against the rules) Instead add your email to your profile....
Well, firstly my wife and I will safely tackle the easiest/most obvious sources in a prioritised order in terms of how relevant we think the source is. That will take us several weekends, so I'll be...
On a similar topic, there is the inaguaral International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness summit in Phoenix, Arizona on May 3-5 with a lot of credible speakers, some of whom I know treat...
Thanks both - great info as always. Zimica - I am seeing DM at a well known clinic in Hemel. Why do you ask - are you UK based?...
Guys, it could be worse than house hunting: we bought a house in July 2018 with mold/damp problems (got a "good deal"...), I then got infected with Lyme and Babesia in September 2018 and am now...
Question for you: I have ordered some chlorophyll capsules, as well as cholestryramine. I also already have activated charcoal. These are all binders; my understanding is that they should be taken...
This is fantastic - so happy for your progress after the journey you've been on. And it provides hope for everyone else who hope to one day return to "normal" life....
"Jamie, pull that s**t up!" I haven't had the chance to listen to this particular episode, but I've heard Joe and his guests talking about Lyme on other episodes. I've always thought it'd be great...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions....
Given that you can visibly see and smell mold then there is like a 90% chance mold is part of your problem. How big of a part no one can say. I would suggest chlorophyll caps as a non toxic mold...
Thanks for posting this. We have a lot of mold we need to deal with at home and I am in the process of putting together a thorough plan for tackling it so as to avoid further contaminating the house...
I'm approximately half way through this book - it's been a real eye-opener for me in terms of understanding how so many of these factors can influence one another, and how in a lot of cases your...
Spring allergy season is here, and my hay fever has returned. In previous years (pre-Lyme) I would use Beconase nasal spray (active ingredient beclometasone dipropionate 0.05%) to good effect. It is...
You've come a long way. Thank you for documenting your journey in such detail on these forums. Your experience is invaluable! Really hope you see the results you're looking for in these next few...
It is possible to combine Cowden (or Buhner, Zhang, ...) herbal approaches with antibiotics. Quite a lot of people take that approach, myself included....
Some great perspectives in this thread. For me, I'll consider myself being in remission when my daily life and routine is dictated by me rather than by the infections. To unpack that a little: I...
Sorry to hear that; I can totally relate. Are you currently treating any infections? I experience sleep maintenance insomnia (i.e. no issues falling asleep, but always wake up after a couple of hours...
This is great news. Thanks for letting us know! It gives hope to all of us still treating....
I've been on Mino for two weeks and have already seen some improvements. Too early to say whether this is a lasting/permanent thing, but it's welcome. I have experienced the dizziness often caused by...
Very cool. I am based in Greater London - may well look to attend this....
From a man with a big old sleeve tattoo (from pre-Lyme)... yes, I echo all other comments in this thread! Plus, if you're at all superstitious, there's the element of tempting fate...! At the very...
Wow, this is incredible. I've been investigating having the silver/mercury amalgams removed from my teeth and the depth this article goes to on that topic alone is the best I've read yet....
I think he was replying to my original post. I've been updating this thread - rather than creating new ones - to keep a pseudo diary/journal of my progress in one place. And to reduce the amount of...
Today I saw my LLMD again. Five weeks since my last consultation, where he put me on a pharmaceutical routine of Biaxin and Malarone, plus Buhner herbs. Our focus is mainly Babesia. During these five...
I've been doing IR saunas lately, and and a similar thought had crossed my mind. Your HR increases considerably during a sauna - it's somewhat comparable to doing a decent aerobic workout. So it...
