I’ve never taken the oil but do take the seed. I don’t know if it really does anything for me though....
Interestingly, several of those herbs also lower histamine/inflamation. Moringa, ginger, black seed. I take all 3 of them. Maybe there’s a causation link? Like babesia raises histamine or causes mcas...
That sounds exactly like me. My sinus issues started with a Lysol exposure. I also take baical, I assume you mean baical skullcap? I also forgot to say I take butterbur. It helps a lot with allergy...
One game changer for me was moringa. I don’t have an official diagnosis of mcas but do have most of the symptoms. I was already on beef kidney, chamomile, black seed, feverfew, nettle, hista resist...
I added xylitol recently as well. It made me herx for the first time since starting teasel. I normally don’t herx. I have worked up to 2 teaspoons a day over the last 2 months. I also added...
Chlorella and S. Boulardi are supposed to be helpful for mold. I haven’t actually treated for mold though, that’s just what I read. Bentonite clay is a good binder. You need to have regular bowel...
MedicalNerd, sorry I didn’t respond earlier. Didn’t get an email notification and forgot to come on for a week. I’m taking about 2 oz of tinctures per dose (1 dropper each of a LOT of herbs). So a...
I have the same problem due to the sheer volume of tinctures I take. Here’s the solution- put your tinctures in a shot glass and place on a reptile heating mat for 4-24 hours. I do best with 24. This...
Thank you. I had some red flags from the website, but good to know the story of someone with first had experience. So sorry they wasted your time and money....
Has anyone heard of/used Spero clinic? It’s a functional medicine clinic and they treat Lyme. But as far as I know they aren’t listed on ILADS. Someone gave me an article on the clinic and it sounds...
I’m a young person hoping to buy a house soon. It stinks. Any time I save I end up needing to spend some on Lyme. I don’t get a tax return- I’m self employed. I also don’t get sick days, which wasn’t...
I have not seen a doctor. Last time I was on antibiotics (for Lyme) I felt as bad or worse than I do now. I’m on herbal antibiotics/antivirals and trying all the things to feel better. I refuse to...
I’m getting really frustrated. I got a little sick over thanksgiving. Used the sauna and managed to kick it fairly quickly. Then I was really sick over Christmas. Spent Christmas Eve and Christmas in...
I second the Brooks recommendation. They are pricey, but I loved them. Also helped avoid knee pain. I was working on concrete when I had them. Unfortunately I worked them to death over a year- worked...
A different way to do what Garzie does to reduce alcohol content- I have baby food jars and shot glasses that I use to measure out individual doses. So every week I measure out a week worth of doses...
I think diet has helped me not get as sick as the “average “ person with chronic Lyme. But it didn’t cure me. And I think the benefits I got from GAPS have “worn off” after 10 years. So I think Lyme...
I was quoted $545 from a nutritionist when I contacted the company. It’s normally $700. I’ve done a lot of different elimination diets/aip/gaps. I’ve seen gains with each but it would be nice to know...
Has anyone done the mrt food sensitivities test and LEAP diet? Curious if it’s worth the cost and if it actually works....
They are little, like the head of a small sewing pin. Or smaller. I think they are related to the itch because the more visible the bumps are, the itchier I am. I’ve never taken antifungals or seen a...
I have had what I thought was athletes foot off and on for years. But now I’m wondering if it actually is athletes foot. I get red itchy bumps in the arch of my feet. Sometimes it’s also on the side...
I don’t know anything about this. I still have my wisdom teeth because I didn’t want to deal with this issue....
Oxolate I believe....
Piggybacking on Sarah Jane- has anyone tried the water bottles and tablets? Which is better?...
I have mcs. I have been able to improve how sensitive I am by cleaning up my diet and eliminating exposure at home. I do still get nauseous from too much cologne and perfume. But not up all night...
I don’t mind long posts. What dose tudca do you take? Could my being more sensitive the last few months be due to the temperature/moisture changes because it’s spring here?...
I guess I’m more focused on Lyme and co. at the moment. I am seeing progress. I’m just not 100%. Probably 70% and I’d say I started at 50% in 2020. I brought up remediation but my parents aren’t on...
Also, after I started using the filters and treated my clothes dr. B didn’t smell mold on me anymore. I guess I’m just resistant to the idea that I have to totally change my life. Humans have lived...
Honestly, I found the guy who told me to be creepy so I wasn’t sure I believed him. My parents own the house. I live here because it’s the only way I can afford land so I can keep my goats. I’m not...
Thanks wbf. I was told that I “smelled like mold” by a local “Lyme doctor “. Not sure he’s legit. I did get iadaptair filters for my house and washed everything in ec3. I know that isn’t much, but I...
I frequently get a runny nose after eating. Haven’t figured out what exactly causes it. Chemical exposure can make me nauseous or give headaches. I don’t remember what else at the moment....
Multiple chemical sensitivity...
How do you tell the difference between mcs and mcas? I’ve had mcs for years. But due to recent events think maybe I have mcas. I used to get violently ill when exposed to perfume, cologne, or...
No idea what tbrf is either. As for herbs- I was terrified of antibiotics due to my mom still having issues from her short round of doxy for acute Lyme causing ongoing problems. So I started with...
I hand milk my goats. I only get about a gallon due to one being milked through, 1 recovering from almost dying in hen she had triplets, and then my other one gives 4+# per milking. So it’s not too...
If I don’t herx,does that mean treatment isn’t strong enough? I haven’t noticed herxing except for when I started teasel. And that was only a mild increase in joint pain. I have noticed a reduction...
I don’t have blisters, but I do have really sweaty feet and I think athletes foot. It’s red and itchy bumps. Thankfully it’s gotten better with my Lyme/Bart treatment....
Thanks for the info. I just switched my goats to a cafeteria style mineral that is mostly herbs and alfalfa. Honestly the ingredients seem good enough to eat. But it’s probably still not a good idea....
Garzie- good to know. That would be awkward. Traveler- thanks. I raise dairy goats as naturally as possible. Currently have 9 but hoping to get down to 4. I’m tired of bucks (he outweighs me by over...
Would it mix in liquid? I’ve never been able to swallow pills/capsules. I’ll look into it and see if I should add it. I did just edit my original post with my complete protocol....
I take most of those. Not kudzu or sida acuta. I thought teasel was supposed to be a lower dose? I take 4 drops 3x/day. How do you take methylene blue? I hate needles and according to google that’s...
I never did any medical treatments for mold, but when I treated my house I only saw mild improvement. I saw much more improvement on Lyme herbs....
In answer to your original question, glycerin versus alcohol depends on what is being extracted from the plant. I don’t remember wha each extracts better, but that’s the min difference. However,...
I would have to check my recipe for all of them. Primarily jk, crytolepis, cats claw. Also licorice, Eleuthero, alchornea, houtynia, ashwagana, cordyceps, lions mane, sometimes black walnut. I would...
Has anyone recovered with herbs only? My story- I developed fatigue when I was around 16. Not really any other symptoms besides a few food intolerances. Tried the GAPS diet and got a bit better....
