Because your son has not presented with any symptoms other than the rash, he DOES NOT need treatment beyond the initial 4-6 weeks of abx:...
I used to get similar symptoms w Lyme and babesia, but also from fasting. As w fasting, keto diets seem to mess with electrolytes and that can make your heart act funny. If you don't have high blood...
Sure he/she can increase dosages, but I think we can put aside the idea that he/she is currently experiencing a "herx"....
Glad you're sticking around Grazie, and really glad to hear that your own health is continuing to improve!...
I don't think the case is such that a little bit of abx kills a little bit of babesia/borrelia. You would need to reach a certain concentration in the blood to kill anything at all, and I doubt the...
Have you ever tried yoga nidra, or non-sleep deep rest (nsdr)? There are many options on youtube.. you just lay on back in a comfortable position and follow the guide. 1 or 2 short sessions a day can...
I think that's the rule of thumb, yeah...
Are the "globs of stuff" yellow or green? I'm pretty sure I had covid about a month ago. I was congested with thick white mucus particularly in my throat.. lost my voice for a couple of days. A mild...
Bro, flagyl can be very rough ride even for relatively healthy people. Check out some reviews from outside of lyme community for better context:...
That has gained acceptance though hasn't it? The arguments have shifted a little so that now you'd probably be more likely to hear "yes persistence is possible, but it's not the cause of the...
"There are so many smart and qualified doctors out there that deny the existence of chronic Lyme disease." I think most are unconvinced that residual spirochetes are the cause of a patient's...
I get bitten quite often so I'm also very concerned about this. I always remove ticks w a remover tool branded "the tick twister", then cover area w alcohol pad, androdraphis tincture, and a tegaderm...
Hi Astro, I'm not sure of the current status of that vaccine (article is from a few years back). But Moderna has an mRNA candidate recruiting for Phase 1 clinical trial:...
FWIW Cureus is generally regarded as a crap journal. There's something shady about their peer review process. I think the lead author chooses the reviewers or something. We've talked about "native...
I tried adding fresh cilantro and parsley to my smoothies a few years ago. One time I added too much and it turned my brain to mush for about 48 hrs.. that was the only reaction really (same kinda...
I've also used dipsacus asper and had to go VERY slowly starting at one drop 3x daily. The herx-like reactions would come reliably w every increase around a day or 2 later. I can't say it helped me...
Aside from the fiber there's also emodin in JK, which can have a laxative effect. I think we get less of it when taking the tincture form as opposed to the whole herb (not sure about the powdered...
Thanks I placed an order last night. This place is great btw for those in the US: https://www.earthashram.com/product/herbal-tinctures https://www.etsy.com/shop/Earthashram ...
Buhner has a section about Chlamydia pneumoniae, I think in his Lyme book...
Any reservations? Found nymph tick 5 days ago and sent it to lab.. PCR positive for both borrelia burgdorferi and babesia microti. Lab estimated tick to have been attached for 47 hrs :( Kid has had a...
Some of us are just really sensitive to treatment. Can you break apart the capsules? If so, maybe half the dosages and stick with the jk and skullcap til you can speak w the herbalist?...
I get something similar.. like a tightness in the area of my throat and upper chest. It is mainly a PEM symptom for me; also used to get it during cold showers. I guess I wouldn't say I feel it in...
Instead of "what we are told" or what you're being told, we can examine the evidence that exists....
I think the outcome would have been pretty horrendous but don't really want to rehash that stuff. Relevant now is that everyone in the US has vax available to them so "allowing the disease to run...
"SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event...
Daisies: "Reddit as a source?" I thought it was a decent explanation.. was there something wrong with it? I believe you've cited the CDC before so here's their explanation (more or less the same):...
Did you get a positive covid test or a diagnosis?...
"Thank you so much - I really appreciate the reply. I have been told my every Western medicine doctor that it's all in my head and that I need to get on anti-depressants. I know I am not crazy, even...
"So the mRNA vaccines make one more susceptible to infection by future variants" No, that's not accurate. It's a hypothesis at best and it applies to those w immunity from prior infection as well....
Ruby777: is it itchy?...
Dr. Horowitz was recommending the mRNA vaccines for his patients back in January according to this Facebook post: https://m.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/posts/3696155770473194 Edit: I found this...
Could it be c diff? "The first c diff symptoms may include diarrhea and cramping. This might occur up to 15 times a day. Usually however the diarrhea happens between 3-5 times a day. C Diff infection...
Hey RW, I appreciate the input. I know you are someone with integrity so your first hand experience means a lot to me. I hope things get better for you again soon...
Lightlife: i couldn't find anything from SP. I think it's just so controversial in the Lyme community that most practicioners have become hesitant to take a public stance either way...
It's nothing like that.. influenza mutates much faster. The current covid vaccines are still very effective, though notably less so than they were against the original strain. I believe there are...
"...it is likely that its simply leveraging off the name of something legitimate and using pseudoscientific sounding phrases to convince the desperate and vulnerable." Well said, Garzie. About 90% of...
Lymie24: they're also vigilant elsewhere when it comes to their online image. The site admin has been contacted in the past to get posts edited on HW....
Phage therapy is legit, however the phages are usually introduced from outside the body. There is a company out of Georgia (country) that does this, though I don't think they have anything for...
Hi 'Coffee first', you could also try an online pharmacy such as alldaychemist.com. It may be nice to have some on hand and maybe test it out before you suspect covid. Just know that it does not...
carlinpa: here is a decent explanation of what the VAERS database really is, and what it isn't: "(VAERS) database is not a verified compilation of adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines...
Sorry - I understand you're upset and I'm not intending to make you any more upset. I'm just not so sure that your former doc was incentivised to diagnose you w covid. ...and the covid diagnosis may...
I don't understand the purpose even if it were true. Is there any way you can verify what you are saying?...
Interesting. How do you know this?...
I think the reimbursement comes only when patient is uninsured....
Hi Gemma I'm pretty sure Buhner has said it's ok to do. I've done it but I've never been on the bart or babs protocols for longer than 60 days. I think cryptolepis is one that you may need to be...
Maybe the prep for the endoscopy was the trigger? ..additional life-related stress?...
Just wanted to say that although I don't think bart has ever been a problem for me, I have taken serrapeptaise on two different occasions.. one time as a theoretical biofilm buster, and another time...

Sorry to hear that things have gotten so bad, but it's an excellent question and I don't think anyone can have a solid answer very often. In my opinion LLMDs are often too narrow in their assumption...
