Hi there, I haven't been on this forum in a while. I can't remember how to message you - or if that is an option. If you send me your email I can send you what I know. PandaFox...
Hi flowergarden, I emailed you back - but I just thought I would write something here for the thread. Phyllis is the woman who will monitor your dosing. Dr. Zhang does it too - but I think Phyllis is...
Well actually I took diflucan about a year ago when I was really sick and it cleared it up to where it is now - or I think that's what did it. So I am going to try to get some more and see if it...
I don't have an LLMD. Can't afford it. I am treating well with Zhang herbs and have improved a lot - but still have tongue, gut, joint issues like most.......
Has anyone had a colonoscopy and found yeast? Is it possible to see intestinal yeast with a colonoscopy? I have this gross white fluffy stuff on the way back of my tongue and it breaks out depending...
I’ll have to look over that article - but that does make sense if the albendazole was killing off babesia or bartonella - that that would account for my improvement. I know babesia is parasitic but I...
I know what you mean saraeli - it's not a road you can go down with many people I'm pretty confused. It sounds like a lot of people expel something similar and that no tests come up positive for...
Hi Mak, I've been on the Zhang protocol for a year. If she is taking the ArtM (maximum strength artemesinin) it can cause A LOT of depression. I was on it for 3 months - and while I think it worked...
Hi Everybody, Thank you for all the responses. It's helpful to hear what you've experienced. Garzie, I had 4 different stool tests come back negative, so maybe it's a waste of my time to continue...
Hi WBF, Have you ever experienced the “gurgling”? It’s so loud and feels like giant worms swimming around - though I guess it could also just be gastric juices going crazy....
Read at your own risk. LOL I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and can offer any insight. When I first got sick I had terrible IBS for like 4 months (diahhrea). I changed my diet...
Hi, I’d love names of LLMD’s in LA too. Doubt I can afford any, but I’ve been researching for when/if the time comes....My email should be listed. Thanks!...
Sounds like parasites to me, but I didn’t look at the photo. I’ve been dealing with a parasite infection for 6 months. I’ve been taking Mimosa Pudica and finally got albenzadole - which helped a lot....
Not cheap but it's the one Erin Brockovich recommends. I live in SoCal where the water is terrible and this tastes great. I have to refill it all the time....
I'm so sorry to hear this. I have to say three monitors with 6 or 7 programs running that you have to toggle between sounds pretty challenging! I'm hoping you find a kind and compassionate space to...
Thank you both. I ordered the collegen - I just started to realize how creaky I feel - hope it helps. I’ve always had tight hamstrings so no surprise those are affected. I’m going to try releasing...
When I was killing off the Babesia I had intense night sweats and my legs and feet were freezing no matter how many blankets and pairs of sox I had on. I think this is a common herx reaction to...
I've just started have a lot of tendon pain, tons of knots in my legs and my right hip joint is crazy stiff. How much collagen power do you take a day? 2 tablespoons or do you do more? I didn't...
God, I'm so jealous! I'm up to a 20 min walk two times a week. I got sick last July and it's been a long road, but it's so helpful to hear these stories! Sometimes I feel like I have the energy but...
These stories give me life. So happy to hear about people going back to work! Be kind to yourself. You're doing a great job!...
Food testing is huge. Last week I "cheated" and ate a "cauliflower crust" pizza, which I know has flour in it - but I was feeling down. My knees, wrists and ankles became more inflamed and I felt...
I've been taking Mimosa Pudica for parasites and it's working. They are COMING OUT. It is also good for candida. You need to take a lot of probiotics at the same time....
I looked into a place in Los Angeles and SOT is their main lyme treatment at this point. I am sure it is expensive. I don't know much about it. It's called the Holtorf Medical Group....
I agree with Saraeli! Rest as much as you can. Go slowly, take lots of breaks and listen to your body....
I am by no means an expert, (only been at this 6 months). Could the psych issues be a herx from the switching back to the powder? Is the powder stronger than the tintures? I have heard that the...
Thank you. I had heard about molybdenum but this article has me convinced....
How do I do that? Not sure what you mean. A past post?...
I have the same problem. My herbalist told me to take diflucan for a month, but I can't get any doctor to give it to me for that long. Nystatin pills help marginally. I have also heard that the...
Fascinating article. Japanese Knotweed is so invasive upstate. I spent hours digging it out of my backyard in Brooklyn. The irony. I now look on it with different eyes and respect. Also, that...
What did you get for the candida?...
I'd like to amend my earlier post. It's yeast. Or at least, I still have an overgrowth of candida in my gut....
Dogs bring so much joy and comfort. It hard to balance being responsible and not living in fear. My dog passed away right before I got sick and I often feel like I would be healing more if I could...
Zhang recommends Tru Niagen, just fyi. And he was VERY excited talking about it. I was taking it for a while but I was taking a hundred different supplements them, and I cut it out with a bunch of...
Well, I have not yet mastered how to respond to a quote - but that's ok! F*Lyme - Phyllis told me that if I smell a lot of garlic I am not digesting it well. She told me that when I was having a lot...
I believe Zhang Artemisiae-2 is the strongest you can buy over the counter. It's dihydroartemisinin. Prepare for a herx![/quote] Yeah I know it's strong. I wonder if it's too strong, but I guess the...
Thank you! I will. Yep, Lyme and Babesia. Herxing is such a mindf****. You just have to tell yourself over and over that you are killing them off and that you are going to get better. That it's a...
Hi F*Lyme. I was wondering how you were doing. I'm starting a new herb Sunday, Artemisia2 - it's stronger than the other Artemisia I have been taking. I'm hoping I won't be in for a big herx too -...
Hi Kitkate, Well let us know if you have candida, I'd be curious to know. My point was that I didn't have candida and I still had the sweet taste. There is no writing I can find that there is a link...
I also have a white coating in the back of my tongue. I thought it was candida and 3 Dr.'s diagnosed it as such, and I was on Nystatin and Diflucan. But it didn't go away. Then I went to a doctor who...
I had this for a couple of months! I googled it and searched around this forum and found nothing. It was so weird and gross and I couldn't figure out what was causing it. At the same time my...
My understanding is that cold hands and feet are symptoms of Babesia. Babesia infects the red blood cells and it affects your circulation. My feet were ice cold for months. And sometimes my entire...
So many people use the Buhner protocol, but it seems so hard, because my impression is that you are doing it on your own. Hard to know when and how to adjust. I do appreciate Zhang because you check...
It's from this book: Whole Food Cooking Every Day by Amy Chaplin. The bread is sorta crumbly! But with cashew butter it's a good snack. Someone gave me this book, and I have found it a lifesaver....
Hi GanglionCyster, Yes we have a similar timeline, but it looks like you've done a lot more abx. I did 5.5 weeks of antibiotics (doxy) and the last 10 days or so I overlapped with Dr. Zhang's herbal...
GanglionCyster. Oh yeah. I feel you. Something I'm stressed out about will not work out exactly as I needed it to and I will have a little breakdown and start crying. Something that would never have...
DCD - I completely agree - "learning to live with it" is too defeatist a mentally to, frankly, live with. I read her New Yorker article in the beginning of my treatment when I was really low and...
Thanks Quin. Very Interesting....
In the Atlantic article she mentions Dr. H - and that if she relapses again she'll go back to him and get this combo....
I've been doing some research, and I just wanted to post these three resources here. I'm in my fifth month of treatment with herbs, but I've been looking into abx. It seems like there was a...
