What were your symptoms? What does 60% recovered look like for you?...
That’s too bad. Allergic in what way? What do you experience from it...
Interesting. Well that doesn’t sound super promising for either then. What would be even strong than both JK and Andro? Feels like of the two Andro is the stronger one, at least for me though....
Curious what would be the potential differences in Andrographis versus Japanese Knotweed… Seems like they are both powerful. Andrographis I seem to have potentially had herxheimer reactions to in the...
Has anybody else specifically taken the Woodland Essence JK Plus tincture? If so, how did that feel for you? I took higher doses today and had really good energy. Could be the eleuthero and the...
Interesting feedback. Thanks all. Mood has lifted for now. We’ll see how it goes...
Right makes sense. Thank you for sharing...
I’ve been taking one of Woodland Essence’s Japanese Knotweed Plus tinctures. It’s a mix—Japanese knotweed, cats claw, and a few others. Anyway, been feeling low when I take it—wondering if Japanese...
Anyone here ever herx from digestive enzymes? I have tested positive for bartonella and also have ulcerative colitis, so hard to know if the bartonella is causing the colitis, but possible. Anyway,...
Started taking Double Wood Digestive Enzymes recently, which improves my digestion, but seems like I've had headaches often since starting it, maybe a little achey also. Could it possibly be breaking...
For what it’s worth, I started taking iron supplements (I was low in iron), and my aches and pains seem to have been reducing. Either this, or some ALA I’ve been taking. Something tells me it’s the...
That’s weird I did Galaxy Bartonella and only 1 blood draw, I believe...
Look into thiamine. I think it’s another important one where deficiency causes neuropathy...
I’ve heard both thiamine and taurine recommended for neuropathy… if I remember correctly...
Also interesting. Since I've been treating with these Bartonella focused tinctures, even though I've never really had foot pain as a symptom worth noting... I have now noticed occasional pain in my...
Since I’ve been treating with Houttunyia, sida acuta, Japanese knotweed+ (All woodland essence) and oregano spirits (herb pharm) I’ve started herxing I suppose. Had a really bad headache for a good...
Yep... Been on them a few days. We'll see. Anybody else notice Bartonella mainly causing gut symptoms for them? I also have the rib pain at times which seems to be common, but I don't have many of...
Without antibiotics, is it possible to get rid of Bartonella in the gut? I've got a 1:128 positive test on the Galaxy test, and my most severe symptoms are intestinal... I don't know for sure, but I...
I personally supplement with Sunflower Lecithin. Very cheap. It has a noticeable impact on mood, energy, focus for me because of the phosphatidylcholine content. It's actually an amazing supplement...
i think he indicates the product he uses on his site somewhere - not cheap though you can just use oregano oil in liquid form and dose by the drop ( its very potent) the carvacrol content is the...
in a screen of FDA approved drugs by Zhang et al ( a well known and highly respected lyme researcher - at Johns Hopkins i think ) Azole antifungals were found to be more effective at killing...
What do you all think? Better to take herbal tinctures on empty stomach? Or with food? My instinct says better absorption on empty stomach. But curious to hear what others think…...
How is everyone’s gut health? The thought of perpetual antibiotics sounds extremely dangerous… for your gut especially… For those of you who’ve been taking long term antibiotics… are you having...
How’s your gallbladder/liver? Bile backing up can cause itching...
And does anyone know why people recommend Fluconazole for Bart? I’ve used it as an antifungal before. Why is it also suggested by some for bart?...
https://www.treatlyme.net/guide/kills-bartonella-a-brief-guide This guy here is recommending cinnamon, clove and oregano capsules Anyone know of a product that contains all three by chance?...
I often get what feels like bruised ribs. Which of the tick borne bacteria are known to cause this? What herbs would you take for this? The worst Herx I’ve had which ultimately led to a short term...
Does anyone know if oral antibiotics can also be hard on the gallbladder? Cipro for example? 5 years after being treated for food poisoning and c diff with cipro and other antibiotics, and I am...
Right bis-muth (why does the site block bismuth from being written?) will do that. Just a chemical interaction though I think...
Yeah I may have to try probiotics again. Thanks for the reminder. I’d been taking culturelle (lactobacillus GG) occasionally but maybe I need to try more strains again. May have done too much...
standard blood work has always generally been normal or close to normal, with exception of elevated CRP and Calprotectin...
Interesting. Well, even without a gallbladder your liver still produces bile, and so it will still drip into the intestine, even without a gallbladder. The gallbladder concentrates the bile, though,...
You’re right I have noticed that about black beans and blueberries. And it doesn’t really solve the problem. Bile is what causes the stool to darken. It can not have the opportunity to darken if...
I did a mold test at one point and it was negative, so I don’t think that it is part of my issue… for me, more likely history of Lyme and then later a bout of food poinsioning/life stressors and then...
Really looking for novel ideas, I’ve tried lots of herbs as well—artichoke, dandelion, beets, radishes, milk thistle, gentian, etc… Hard to figure out...
Looking for help on how to fix what I assume are some problems relating to bile. Stool is never normal brown. Always light brown, cardboard, yellow, etc. Sometimes ox bile doesn’t even help. I had an...
Things started going down hill in September. So really about a month or so, I think, that I’ve been feeling poorly. A couple years ago a had what may have been a Herx that lasted I would say a couple...
I was trying to avoid caffeine/stimulants for a while to see how I did, but I ended up just making some hot cacao with maple syrup and salt. Helped take the edge off:...
I wish there was an easier way to know if you are herxing or what. Spinal pain, stiff neck, sore muscles etc… not sleeping as well. Took lauricidin this summer because I was feeling decent, thinking...
No rectal meds. I was originally suffering from pancolitis. I have a Rx for 4.8 g from my general practitioner who I see most often. I was just curious what delzicol generally gets prescribed for...
Interesting. Thanks for the feedback....
Interesting thanks all. Also felt intuitively drawn toward cinnamon as well. It was part it a mix of tinctures/supplements I was taking when I almost achieved zero symptoms a couple years ago. Still...
Is oregano oil as a tincture effective against chronic Lyme? I don’t see it mentioned much…...
Anyone take more than 2.4g of Delzicol? Like 4.8g? Seems like it’s common for people to take 4.8g of Lialda (Mesalamine) but when I look up dose of Delzicol it seems to say that 2.4g is max dosage....
Old Hat… that’s interesting to hear actually about Colazal. Like I said, I had pancolitis severely and everything that raw and painful… entire colon. Even though there seems to be some narrowing or...
Yeah I had pancolitis… salmonella early on (might have caused this to begin with), then c diff from the cipro intended to treat the salmonella (c diff/extended abx took it to a much worse level) All...
I'm curious if anybody has found one type of mesalamine to be more successful than others... for example... When my symptoms first started, I was very, very severe. My first GI prescribed Lialda...
I don’t like the idea of taking Asprin, but maybe it’s worth it if you feel like you’re noticing pain starting up in your body… Anyone have any thoughts about this? Sometimes I can literally just...
One thing bile does is lubricate the gut For me bile supplements can help facilitate a BM. Lack of bile can cause constipation for example Which were you using? Ox Bile? TUDCA?...
