Quick update on this. Followed up with ID doc. No good answer why the test was run through quest. Basically was told well I can treat or not but she doesn’t recommend treating. And if I did treat she...
It’s difficult in chronic cases to always know when something is “working”. Particularly when addressing infections singularly. Infections tend to be synergistic vs additive when it comes to...
Also for the record - .125 had noticeable benefits. That’s why I’m such a big advocate of starting everyone super low. Much smoother process IMO vs reading these situations over and over again....
I had to start at .125mg. .25 was too much....
This was used in my Bart abx protocol with rifampin and azithromycin. I stopped the hydroxy a few months in because I had chest concerns and that + azith both have fda black box warnings there. Not...
What’s funnier is I emailed again asking if they had any data at all relevant to that even from prior years - basically what Garzie said. They never responded. Oh and that bab PCR that was supposed...
If you don’t like something you’re welcomed to kindly give your opinion if you feel so inclined and why you have the perspective. I don’t appreciate unwarranted pessimism on something that a newer...
Anti inflammatory / chelating aspects of abx?...
Azithromycin is often used in combination fashion for babesia and bartonella. With bartonella often paired with Rifampin, and for babesia Mepron. Being those are both intercellular infections and...
I had emailed with PA Tick Research lab today and they said "unfortunately, at this time we do not have available data to share" when asked about % rates of infections per ticks tested. They do have...
Thanks for posting. This drug looks promising.. I worry for chronic cases about the lengthy half life. That’s why it’s so effective I suppose and why so little is needed. But I’m a bit hesitant to be...
I had no clue Dr. Lindner’s daughter had died. That’s rough stuff.. So he’s saying from PA tick lab research 20% on average of ticks have B. Odocoilei? And if you get Lyme there’s a 1/3 chance you...
Garzie - thanks for the added thoughts. I had mentioned the Tafenoquine in my response to rainy. Agreed if PCR is positive that gives more objective goals for treatment. Now to my understanding this...
Thanks for the input rainy! I don’t think ID would do a second course unless I respond and then regress - or there’s a positive with the PCR/smear. So I might find myself in an odd spot doing them...
Decided to follow up on my IGG + from the Fall and found a doc who would see me. She ordered another smear with staining (last was neg) and a B. Duncani PCR through UPMC (didn't know this existed...
I’ve explored this a bit being I’ve done the IV PK protocol and have before and afters of that data from the neurolipid research foundation Dr. PK runs. To my understanding the blood testing I had...
Running wild - is that the qeeg + neurofeedback sessions? What did you find improvement with from that? Recently had the qeeg done. LB - Saraeli got me into DNRS a few years ago. No quick miracles...

In the early 1900’s colostrum was thought to be the next anti biotic (which got overshadowed by antibiotics). There was a US congressman with Lyme who had personalized colostrum made (maybe there’s a...
I know you didn’t ask this way.. but a blog post came to mind https://diaryofrecovery.com/2024/02/06/kpvpeptide-2/ I haven’t tried KPV. But the part of her daughter’s body reacting to showers came up...
thanks Loski what dose did you find caused fatigue ?[/quote] I forget the size. Two capsules though, one AM/PM. This was a couple years ago....
I found monolaurin to be fatigue inducing. Never worked up. Never continued. But I’m not 100% if it was a herx. Similar to lysine....
Only issue I had with rifampin was teeth staining (plaque build up in between teeth, looked like black lines formed) plus a really weird taste in the mouth with that. I think it altered my oral...
Garzie - I’m not too studied on the microbe nature of that, but I had caught wind of something mycoplasma related with the vaccines I believe? RW- 2% of the population tests positive for babesia...
Garzie said most of my thoughts. A great example for me is Gulf War illness. My numbers are rough off hand but if you were vaccinated, deployed and saw combat you were 2x more like to have gulf war...
Had my report done today. Mainly for my disability appeal in June. Curious if anyone is familiar with all this data or saw through to neuro-feedback sessions? Thanks!...
Homocysteine is more the marker id be looking at. There’s a “functional range” within normal lab ranges - you wanna be there. There’s no way to lower histamine to my knowledge. Anti histamines block...
When it comes to electrolyte imbalances I found “balancing” them throughout the day to be far more helpful than say just an electrolyte shot in AM. OP didn’t mention potassium so I’d look there. I...
I tried a bifido based blend a couple years back as a stool test showed that being really low. Those made me feel horrible. I’ve read some data more recently suggesting bifido naturally looses...
I'd recommend the book dirty genes. I'd look more into why your body isn't raising it on its own - nothing wrong with being a person that takes tyrosine lol The dopamine pathway is far more complex...
I could also say you’re trying pretty hard to promote your beliefs too - particularly when a rife (or frequency) application COULD have value. Rife never used contact pads. That’s very understudied /...
There may be some errors in my recollection of numbers. I appreciate your insight on tech specs but even with a decimal error then we circle back to PEMF min strengths and all those beliefs - which...
“ now compare this to the EMF strength of low to medium intensity PEMF devices supported by studies - which in most studies - is 0.4 up to 10 milli tesla” “which shows 0.0005 millitesla is 0.005...
Was your bilirubin high by chance? A RBC infection could fit those symptoms. I.E babesia or bartonella....
Garzie I measured the gauss on this. The blog does also. Given I don’t have your background, the strength is adequate from both observations in comparison to industry recommended for low to medium...

I've put a decent amount of effort into optimizing these things. I don't think they're "causative" but they're definitely helpful if you dial them in right. Plus you can find a lot fairly cheap. Also...
Unfortunately still so much we don’t understand about specific causes of symptoms, synergistic nature of chronic infections, what all a treatment may my hitting etc.. Interesting story though. Keep...
https://diypemf.com/a-simple-pemf-device/ + a free online tone generator (set to left only audio output). Set to square wave. Great way to make a rife via PEMF output for <$35. You can also use this...
Hydroxazine can interfere with SSRI’s. Even though it’s an anti histamine. Doesn’t mean you can’t take them together. But hydroxazine does affect serotonin....
My report looks at HRH1, HRH4, DAO, HNMT, NAT2, MAOA, MAOB, ALDH1B1 and ALDH2 for histamine. SAM is relevant here too which was the one that recommended TMG for me + with a story I put together from...
Are they approaching this smear differently than a U.S. lab running a smear with staining? Never heard of this Polish place. Also to follow up on Garzies comment on the %. Do you have RBC count...
It’s possible just to have a clogged bile duct no? Ultrasound could be helpful there or some sorts study where they inject dye (although I try not to do the radioactive one at all unless the...
Throwing my opinion in as this has sat empty today.. I went to Lymestop and found their muscle testing to be very accurate. People often bring entire families to get checked out. (Not everyone here...
Astro - yeah I did testing through ancestry, export the raw data and upload to seeking health/strate gene. $40 for ancestry, $95 for the 3rd party report. Also discovered I have a half sister we...
Thanks for taking the time to comment everyone. I'm not looking at this as a "fix all". Have felt a bit roadblocked lately and exploring reasonably priced things that have resonated with me. I will...
Ivermectin does have cross coverage. Some anti-parasitic meds do in general. Unsure about the others. Lyme can also be described as a type of a parasite as it needs a host to survive and complete its...
If you’re deficient in dopamine and epinephrine- tyrosine is great. But more doesn’t always equal better, and sometimes breaks are needed. Now I pulse it as needed. A lot of this is genetics related...
I’ve heard it explained from each angle. I did stumble across a post once of someone who continue kratom post starting LDN. Essentially described LDN as taking its place and only needing kratom 1-2x...
Just did my report yesterday. Anyone with prior experience on this that I could discuss with? Thanks...
