Useless data to grab a headline. The data needs to be broken down into different age groups to have any meaning. I suspect the higher age groups avoided the doctor. I had a emergency surgery...
Chaos theory. Everyone wants some big conspiracy theory or a single point its how the human brain works. Its deterministic. If economics was deterministic there would be no economics....
Titanium is inert that is one of the reasons its used in the body, also for things like aircraft parts. Unless you have an allergy to it which is possible its probably not causing your problems....
I had no symptoms when it went through our house nor did my wife. Both of us are vaccinated and got boosters. We both tested positive. Our youngest got sick and tested positive so that prompted us to...
Humans are not meant to eat grains. You can study evolution and how humans started eating grains. It basically was to avoid starvation in a community setting. Eventually the body "kinda" adapted...
I attribute restaurants menus cutting back as simple math. They are not selling as much so they cant keep making foods that are not ordered by a lot of folks. They will have to throw out to much....
If your symptoms get worse I would strongly encourage you to go to a doctor. There are treatments for covid that are proven to work rather then relying to what the internet tells us and taking...
Mine have always said medication for personal use. Or something to that meaning it was very evident. The last package I got from ADC was about 2 months ago and it said some similar. I have gotten...
If they wanted to confiscate it no one would be getting it. The package basically says "drugs from India" on it. I was very surprised the first time I ordered that it was so obviously prescription...
Never did well with a xmas tree talk about self inflicted allergies. I may have actually done better with a old rotten moldy one then a fresh one. Ours were always fresh more pollen I would guess....
It really bothers some people. It does everything with metals thats the problem with it, its not really defined to well. I avoid it but I really really dislike the taste of it....
I got my booster about 3 weeks ago. Besides the arm being sore didnt notice anything. The first two shots I was tired after. Anyone I know who got boosters did not have any reactions, some had...
Theres like 15k in the FB groups for Disulfiram. You can count the success stories in under 30 minutes most are tagged with LymeFree. Thats not to say there are not a lot of them but considering the...
I wonder if Disulfiram actually kills bacteria in the body, or just busts open biofilms and what not. If your body cant handle that then watch out. All the tests have been in vitro well lots of...
I had positive antibodies through Vibrant. When I had tests through MDL labs it showed up just below cut off. Never had a positive PCR. I still think Bart causes most my problems. I actually recall...
Agree with this. We watch this going on in the Lyme community right before our eyes....
My completely unscientific guess is it made you feel better which helped with depersonalization. I was prescribed oxy after surgery and while I was in the hospital after a colon surgery it did...
Ive never heard of standard blood tests not being covered. For some reason the one arm doesnt talk to the other....
Prices vary I looked up the rheumatologist I saw and it was ~$400 and they probably spent 30 minutes with me. Followup appointment was $100. The oncologist I see is around $800 for about a hour. The...
Im sorry your having troubles. I hope your able to get some money back. Connecticut has laws protecting Dr's who prescribe long term antibiotics from being sanctioned and disciplined. Ive gotten the...
I always find it amazing that companies are trying to find a lyme vaccine for a illness that can be "cured" with two weeks of antibiotics. Makes you wonder. I hope the people in the trial are able to...
Pretty sure I got infected with Bartonella about 10 years ago. I was sick for about a month low grade fever. Most notably weird rashes and my eyes were swollen and red to the point they were worried...
Happy Thanksgiving!!...
This seems to be the go to "theory" in the group when it makes someone much worse. I personally don't buy it, I think something else is going on. I havent seen anyone come back and say I treated...
Because they went to a LLMD or LLND who preaches mold perhaps? There is no way 98% of the people who submit samples are sick with mold. So what value does the test provide? Unless your off the scale...
I took one of the great plains tests. I was "negative below cutoff" for everything. I think the tests are accurate in the sense thats what your body is doing at that point in time. I bet I could take...
Mine has never been elevated. Its a sign of inflammation which I clearly have but its never been elevated....
So what determines autoimmune? Theres auto immune that does not have positive ANA's? So how do you know? Ive had three ANA's panels done all were in the normal range. Been to 3 rheumatologists...
Im a strong vote on something else is going on. Whether its your bodies inability to handle an infection, autoimmune, inflammation run amok. The evidence for antibiotics for years is just not there...
@straydog Unfortunately there are mod(s) that go in other forums and delete posts from users they simply dont agree with. Pretty sure it was not you, in fact Im certain of that. I had another post...
I cry often. Mostly in private it lasts for about 5 minutes then I start doing something else and forget about it. Im actually not sure if its related any type of infection. It started after I had...
I would suggest trying Marijuana. Its the only thing that has ever helped me. Allergic to NSAIDS. Tylenol turns my eyes yellow. Opioids get processed way to fast out my system. NSAIDS will put you in...
@Garzie I agree with what your saying. but.... It just seems like a risky idea. You do it with antibiotics and what is the risk? You do it with a drug that is known to cause nerve problems,...
This seems like a very dangerous "idea". Id go as far to call it stupid!! There are many folks who had severe psychosis from taking to high a dose of DSF to fast. Or just going up to a high dose that...
You want to go by what is in the 2nd edition. The website was never run by Buhner and its mostly based on the first edition of his book. It also has many mistakes....
Yea this is how I felt after looking at my blood for a while probably about 50 slides. Theres just to much going on to make a conclusion. I think for spirochetes unless you have a relapsing fever...
This is very sad they are in my thoughts. Thanks to the folks who have reached out personally and tried to help others....
I for one was never able to maintain weight in keto. I just had to much trouble processing that much fat. Yes healthy fats. I still eat few carbs maybe 50-75g a day low but not keto. I tried keto...
I have always excelled when being left alone to do my thing. Couldn't stand working in an office environment where everyone is talking about this and that. To the point I could get nothing done....
If you can tolerate it I like sardines. Its organ meat and fish. Low or non existent mercury. Happy for ya!!...
When I corresponding with the lab director at Great Plains he indicated 98% of the people they test have some type of elevated mycotoxin result (outside their designated normal levels) . I can almost...
I think its just too much stuff. When you take 3 antibiotics its 3 chemicals. If you were to take 3 herbals its way more then 3 chemicals. Each herbal is not just chemical X. Its chemical x,y,z and...
I have always had some doubts on her. Her story sounds exactly like that a story. Its unfortunate the mistrust I have towards people selling consulting services....
Most folks don't actually do full Buhner's protocol they do their own mismatch of whatever. Or something important doesnt agree with them and cant do it. But yes 75% seems a little high....
I think any of the practitioners only include folks who kept on the protocol and they could declare them a success or failure. If you see a doctor for a year and switch doctors I suspect you count as...
When I went full keto for about 6 months I still had fasting blood sugar in the upper 90s. Prior to full keto it was usually 100-105. It went down a little but limiting carbs was not the solution for...
Kinda suggesting this but its a kindle book you can actually return them up to 10 days. Expensive book!! Ive done this with some books that just sucked....
Most people are lazy and are happier just taking a pill even it can cause long term problems. My mother refuses to give up wheat/gluten to see if she feels better she has a host of syndromes. To her...
WBF had some good advice on the Zyrtec that was always recommended to me for hives rather then claritin. Unfortunately Zyrtec does nothing for my allergies so I always had claritin on hand. If its...
I got hives from knotweed. I took claritin for a couple months and they subsided. I stopped the claritin and they have not come back....
