You may want to avoid the Oxide form. My naturopaths told me it can actually increase heart palps....
Good point. Magnesium is one of the minerals the heart uses the most. Lack of it can cause all kinds of related symptoms, and the Lyme and the other bugs use up magnesium anyways, esp. to build...
I agree that this is very likely caused by die-off from the Mepron. It's potent stuff. If not, it's common with Lymies to have irritation or even damage to their vagus nerve. This important nerve is...

For many years in the past, Vitamin C IVs appeared to cause Herx reactions for me. We assumed die-off, as I always felt much better afterwards. Like with most things, this effect eventually stopped...
I would avoid this. A friend of mine, who's also a fellow Lymie, told me it will use one of the more potent OSP (outer surface proteins) to teach the immune system. Her research suggested this was a...

Okay, for those of us old enough to remember: Here's my spoof of the Twilight Zone: The Lymelight Zone: -Theme music... There is a sick dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension...
I suggest you ignore the CDC as much as possible. They're clueless and worse, highly corrupt. MASK+ protocol. It's helped millions of people....

I'm a natural health kind of person. Yes, tick-borne diseases absolutely can and sometimes do cause dental issues. Ask me how I know. You started the Cowden protocol. When did the dental pain start?...

Ah, didn't notice they were Spectrocell. I'm glad to hear you're greatly improved, both for your sake and because it gives me hope. I've been going the opposite direction the last 10 or so years,...
Unless you have a mold allergy/infestation or fungal infection. Then, they might not be so gentle if you have a reaction. I would suggest caution until you know how your body will react....
I'm fairly new to the DSF protocol. I'm hoping to go on it soon. But even I can tell you 750mg is a very high dosage. I'd say speak with your doctor and get the dosage down. That, and do lots of...

For people with sleep issues, esp. anxiety and heart palpitations, and alertness at night, you might want to consider taking Cortisol Manager (Enymatic Therapies). It often helps me (though my...
I'm starting an unofficial Lyme/TBDs thread. To start things out, I'm posting a couple of images that I hope will reflect how many of us feel. I suggest posting things which reflect symptoms/problems...
Quote: leaky gut, digestive candida , gluten issues All those of course, can and often are interrelated. And now your digestion/eliminuation is normal or very close to it? Cause it could be improved,...
How's your digestion/elimination?...
Yes. However, some people (like me) get vertical ridges, and no horizontal ones. I believe that's generally considered a different condition....
I will if you really like, but.. 1. They're expensive 2. They usually have to be ordered from Europe (and very expensive shipping) and; These are largely for killing E. Coli, Staph, Strep and some...

What is your digestion like? Low stomach acid can cause those lines, as well. Also, calcium deficiency can also do that, IIRC....
Natual Calm (Citrate/Malate). I was on Magnesium oxide, but I went off it because it can irritate symptoms like heart palpitations. Generally, it's recommended that you take it to bowel tolerance....
I had anxiety (sometimes very severe) for decades. It's basically zero now. What changed it for me was taking the right adrenal formula (which contained Rhodiola) and large amounts of supplemental...
Soy is well-known to have significant effects on hormones, especially in women. Maybe consider doing some research into whether that could affect periods?...
If you're in Wisconsin, have you considered trying the partly-subsidized Howard Young Tick Borne Center of Excellence? https://www.howardyoungfoundation.org/tick-borne-illness-center-of-excellence/...
I've never tested as thiamine deficient. In fact, I tested high for it, and I've had GI symptoms that some top Lyme doctors said was some of the worst they'd ever seen. There are many, many known...
You might also want to try Kripps Pharmacy in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The head pharmacist there is a great guy, very helpful. They used to have a way that, if you're from the U.S. they...
Fixed that, thanks for the heads up. Hmmm..the URL button didn't properly encase my URL in the right HTML codes to create proper link. I had to insert them manually. Is that a bug people have seen...
A good article for beginners has always been "Bells Palsy of the Gut" by Dr. Virginia Sher. It might have been the first and seminal article directed at patients (as opposed to to doctors)....
I haven't read that myself, but I'll take your word for it. I'm not arguing that...just that I'm not sure it's the main cause of the OP's problems. Do you have a citation of any kind?...
My gut feeling (sorry) from my knowledge of tick-borne is that thiamine deficiency is not the main cause, though it could be one cause. If you want to go the thiamine route, a quick search turned up...
I"m so sorry you're going through this. You're in good company here. Many, many Lymies go through this. Because "gastroparesis" seems to be used many way these days, even among us Lymies, it would be...
Dmitry: Thanks but that won't work for me either. I'm nowhere near a sauna, and I can't eat almost all carbs due to very severe GI problems. But I appreciate the idea, folks. Keep 'em coming....
Bailey: Yes, I tried a CPAP machine last year. This was my second attempt, and honestly, I have no idea how anyone with serious Lyme can tolerate these things. It was a fairly new model. IT also made...
Hi Skinny Joe. Is your mixture similar to the other one mentioned, about 1:1 CBD/THC? ...
I'll look into that thread, thanks. Does lemon balm just work on GABA receptors? I ask because I've been on so many GABA stimulators for so long, I think my receptors are shot. That's a known...
Yes, all that falls under the "sleep hygiene" category. It has made basically zero difference so far. I take Natural Calm twice a day. Anxiety isn't really a thing for me any more (though it was for...
May I ask what strain/type of plant it is? Where do you get it?...
Hi everyone: After mostly lurking here occasionally, I've decided to ask for help a little more. My sleep is atrocious. My sleep MD told me after 3 or 4 sleep studies mine was one of the worst...
