Thanks for you reply! I have only ever taken one cap every other day (so 20mg), aside from yesterday and the day before where I took one on both days. I am not currently trying to treat Lyme (and was...
Hi all, I’ve recently developed a peculiar new symptom and was wondering if anyone had any insights. I’ve never actually been diagnosed with Lyme (&co) but suspect it may be a factor in my chronic...
Thank you both for your thoughtful and detailed replies. I really appreciate it! I was in a bit of a spin yesterday and I’m feeling a lot calmer from reading them. We read your replies together and...
Hello, asking on behalf of a loved one. I was wondering if anyone here has had success treating polymyositis (i.e. the autoimmune kind) alongside Bartonella/Lyme? It’s looking likely from symptoms...
Thanks for the heads up about the Cryptolepis capsules! I went through the checkout process to see if they ship to my country but unfortunately it doesn’t look like they do. I might email the company...
Update: unfortunately taking the Cryptolepis with the alcohol evaporated has absolutely no effect against this infection. I feel as ill as I did the day I came down with it last. Going to go back to...
Thanks Twinkle! If evaporating the alcohol doesn’t work well for me I’m definitely going to explore powdered/tea/maybe glycerite options. It’s funny you should mention liposomal as an option. We...
Excellent! Thanks so much for answering all my qs. 😊...
Ahh thanks so much for explaining, that makes sense now! Have ordered one of those little warming mats and will see how I get on when it arrives. Ok one last question from me: what temperature do you...
That’s helpful to know that it works, thank you. However I’m getting a bit confused the more I think about this. Isn’t the alcohol a key part of the delivery mechanism of the herb into tissue? Won’t...
Oh my gosh thank you Garzie, this might just resolve the problem. Fingers crossed. 😄...
Thank you all so much for your replies - I really appreciate them. The Cryptolepis did end up (half?) working in the end but I’m now in a quandary. It took almost two weeks to see definite...
Thanks all for your replies! Garzie - I actually don’t know for sure that it’s a staph infection as it’s never been cultured. The assumption from all medical practitioners that I’ve seen is that it...
Hi all, I’ve already trawled healingwell forums for treatment options for antibiotic resistant staph (not sure if it meets the criteria for MRSA) and have tried everything suggested. Nothing is...
That’s great to hear! Thank you. I’m glad the generics seem to be ok because phew the branded stuff is expensive!...
Thanks Garzie (sorry for the late reply). That’s really encouraging to hear and is consistent with how I thought the law worked here. There seem to be a lot of different generic makes of ivermectin...
Does anyone know if it’s legal to import ivermectin into the UK? Unfortunately for me I have an intestinal helminth problem and I believe the only parasite medication we can get from within the UK is...
Hypothyroidism and mineral deficiencies can cause heavy and irregular periods. The onset of my heavy periods coincided with the onset of other hypo symptoms, and went back to an objectively normal...
Wow thanks so much for all your suggestions! I had forgotten I made this thread and now I have all these extra detox methods to look into. Definitely going to look more into dry brushing and IR...
Hi all, I’d be really grateful for any suggestions of detox methods to add to my existing regimen. I’m wondering if my long list of existing interventions is missing out one or more organ systems and...
Wow thanks to everyone’s input I’ve been on quite a psychological journey this week! From a passing thought of ‘is there a tiny possibility this could be Lyme’ to now re-evaluating my entire health...
Thank you Traveler! I am learning so much from the replies in this thread. What a kind and knowledgable bunch you all are. ❤️ My minor teenage ailments were interstitial cystitis (which I still have...
Hi walkingbyfaith! Thanks for your input. I’m really not sure if it’s ropeworm or some other type of worm (I’m a bit chicken when it comes to googling these things!!) - twice now I’ve seen something...
Thanks so much Garzie!! That is *extremely* helpful to know about mould, as I have been googling to see if people at the high end of the reference range can actually have mould illness. Really...
Thank you both for your detailed replies and “hi” back to you Girlie! Great timing - I just got my GPL mycotox urine test results back today. 9 out of 11 values were 0, one was very low and well...
Thanks Saraeli! That’s all really useful to know. I had no idea tick-borne illness could cause just one or two major symptoms in some people that are stable over time. I agree that mould is quite...
Hi all, first post here after lurking for a time and learning a lot from you all! I am trying to get to the root of almost a decade of chronic illness and am wondering whether Lyme and co could be in...
