Thank you so much for your responses everyone! It's a huge help for me. You guys are the best and I wish you all the very best. Big hugs to you all :)...
Hi guys :) I'm on sida acuta as well as houttuynia and a few other herbs (that don't cause me to herx) I react very sensitive to EMF. Recently I had a 30min. phone call when I usually have everything...
Hi guys. I'm working with a herbal practitioner now because I couldn't tolerate antibiotics anymore due to intestinal issues. She says bartonella never goes away and she's hesitant to say that it can...
Girlie, how do you pulse those three? And do you take herbals as well along with them? Garzie, you might be onto something there with the oregano. Now that you mention it, it does burn in my stomach...
Girlie, I think you're right, but doesn't it heighten the risk that bart developes abx resistance? Do you pulse them? I'll look into switching to rifabutin, thank you š Edit: Yes, I've been taking...
I've been dealing with gut issues ever since I added in rifampicin to the mono therapy of doxycycline my doc put me on in march or april. He isn't experienced with bartonella treatment. I was fine on...
I've been taking rifampicin for about 20 days now and my teeth already started to become yellow :( In the list of side effects it says discoloration of teeth is permanent. I almost cried in front of...
Babesia - Yes, I'm combining it with doxycycline. Thank you for your recommendations, I'll be careful what to choose :) Girlie - Yes, I'll have my kidneys and liver checked regularly, though I might...
As I wasn't able to find anyone who has experience or even knows the Buhner protocol in my country, I started to look online and found a list of recommended practitioners on Julie McIntyre's site....
Hi guys :) I started rifampicin a little more than two weeks ago at 150mg twice daily and I've started to notice that whenever I take it, my kidney area starts to sting and feel sore. It's not...
So while I'm hiding in the bathroom from an evil mosquito, I'm here to share these two research studies with you guys. I'm sure (I hope!) there's more, especially on herbals, so if you got some good...
Bailey, just don't tell him about it lol. Plus having a laugh IS a substantive response, laughing is good for our health š...
Thank you guys so much, everyone, for all your suggestions and the knowledge you shared with me! And nothing's as helpful as talking to people that actually know what it feels like to go through...
I'm devastated about my worsening eye issues and I've been very depressive over it the past days. It feels like my worst nightmare is becoming reality. What Buhner wrote in his book about what bart...
MooseSafari, so far I can't tell if it's of any help. My eyes seem to have gotten worse, but I don't know if the calendula is to blame for that or the oregano oil, houttuynia or sida acuta or...
Rhytenow, thank you for all your suggestions! I tried bilberry before and it kinda hurt my eyes, as did one drop of stephania, but I'm thinking about adding it back in once I'm hopefully able to...
MN, my eyes reacted pretty strong to japanese knotweed and chinese skullcap. I don't know if it was a herx or MCAS or just a reaction to the tincture š¤ I decided to add in the houttuynia too as I...
As this is one of the symptoms that disturbes and even scares most of us that experience eye issues, I thought I'd start this post to gain some hope and maybe learn something new. If you had any...
Does anyone have experience with calendula for bart eye issues? The friendly lady at the pharmacy suggested calendula eyedrops to me and I also read somewhere that according to Klinghardt calendula...
MN, maybe the melatonin detox would be better for you :) I'm very very sensitive to most herbals too, but the melatonin gave me zero bad effects so far, knock on wood. It seems to be a very gentle...
This is another thing my doctor suggests on his website. I call him Dr.Hagrid as he looks just like the gentle half giant from Harry Potter, just way less fuzzy lol. His website is in German, so...
I woke up today feeling weak and aching all over, a bit like you feel when you have the flu, except for I don't think I have a fever, but my feet feel numb. Is that possibly a herx?...
Girlie - Mainly neurological symptoms, anger, paranoia, pain and burning, it feels like it intensifies my bartonella symptoms. I read somewhere that EMF exposure surpresses the immune system and...
Saraeli, the ketotifene do help with reactions to the foods I've become allergic to, but zero with my biggest trigger - EMF, which is hard to avoid. I tried quercetin for a while too, but I didn't...
IĀ react a lot to just 1-2 drops of most herbals and that pretty fast. If it's MCAS causing that reaction, and not a herx, is it even possible to ever raise the dosage and get well with herbals, or...
Thank you, MN š It's so tricky to tell the difference. So are you saying it depends on the way you take the herbs? Now that I think about it, tinctures probably get into the body faster through the...
Thank you, saraeli š maybe it's even all of the above š We're in the same boat then, I react poorly seemingly to everything as well, especially most of Buhner's tinctures. Though I was on two...
Can you get a herx immediately, or 1-2 hours after taking something against your infection and that from low doses, or is it more likely to be MCAS related? I started houttuynia again for my...
dcd, enjoy! š my doctor explains everything about the peel in detail on his website, how it reduces inflammation and increases detox, but it's in German and too difficult to translate for me š ...
This is something my doctor suggests and him and his wife as well as many of his patients use it regularly. As the best flavonoids are in the peel and kernels, don't just use the juice, but blend the...
Bailey, thank you for your suggestions! :) I went to the pharmacy yesterday and got myself some magnesium. The package says it helps for a normal function of the nerves, and trying it can't do any...
I'm going to start the Buhner protocol again after a break due to some intestinal inflammation, which made it even harder to detox. Unfortunately my eye issues increased during my break, right after...
Girlie, I only have bartonella, and probably have some mold issues, maybe more, but I don't know, though I do have MCAS so it might be. As for my eyes - both, eyesight and pain, but protecting my...
Thank you, Girlie. Which one would you recommend starting with, especially if the eyes are involved?...
Bump WalkingbyFaith and everyone else, how are you by now with the bartonella? Did the Buhner protocol help you? I'm going to start it again after my intestines recover from the two months+...
I know this is an older post, but I'm bumping it out of interest in hearing more success stories and maybe the people who posted on it can tell us how they're doing now, if they're still on here that...
Thank you, I hope the rest of your weekend is a good one too :)...
Why do you not recommend it, Girlie? Can it interfere with the healing process? It's in the contraceptive pill that I took, a low dose gestagen pill....
I thought I should share this https://ganzemedizin.at/lyme-what-to-do-with-jarisch-herxheimer it has very interesting informations, especially what he said about progesteron caught my attention,...
I'm so sorry to read this, my heart goes out to your daughter and you. No one deserves to go through this. Does your daughter have MCAS? I suffer from it myself as many others on here seem to as...
Thank you so much for saying that, it really hit deep when I read it just now. I think it's just what I needed to hear. Huge hugs for you :)...
Thank you for your support, Mike. You're right, it's just the "what if" that's chasing me....
I have this massive fear of losing my sight ever since my childhood where some TV shows and other things gave me a proper scare, so reading in Buhner's book that bartonella can cause exactly that,...
I've been feeling extremely guilty the past few days that I didn't go see a doctor with the insect bite that infected me with bartonella in summer 2019. I almost went because I found it strange that...
@Bailey thank you, hugs for you too š @Bones72 Thank you for all your advice! I'll definitely try the tea, go slow with the herbs and up my detox now š though I can't seem to find the Dan Shen...
Hi there, I'm new here and I read a lot on here already, so I decided to join. I suffer from a bartonella infection, MCAS, emf sensitivity and mold probably also plays a roll, maybe heavy metals too....
