Re: Iodine for Lymes disease

[Guest guest]

Barb,

We have a lot of experience with Lyme disease in our family and I've been active

in Lyme forums for the last decade. To the best of my knowledge, the Lyme

doctors are not using Iodine Therapy (yet), but it wouldn't surprise me if it

doesn't catch on with them eventually because they are open to using a variety

treatment protocols.

Based on our family's experiences over the years, as well as what I've been

learning about the science of how Iodine Therapy works, I'd opt for iodine

therapy FIRST, BEFORE resorting to heavy-duty, long-term antibiotic therapies. I

only wish that we'd known about Iodine Therapy 10-15 years ago.

In the meantime though, if you want to learn more about current Lyme therapy

options, here's a link for you:

http://ilads.org/lyme_disease/treatment_guidelines.html - Click on the 3rd item,

" Diagnostic Hints & Treatment Guidelines " by Dr. Burrascano.

Here's a link to my favorite Lyme forum:

Let me repeat though. Do consider iodine therapy as your first option. If you

want to discuss the pros and cons of these various options further, contact me

by private e-mail.

Hi Barb, sorry for your diagnosis. I have lyme disease (not lymes BTW). I was

misdiagnosed for 35 years, and now suffer from autoimmune arthritic lyme

disease. I followed Dr. Ritchie's protocol for 9 months and I really do not

think iodoral has had any effect on my lyme problem. Iodoral has helped me in

other ways though. And yes there are several excellent Lyme groups. V
