For the Borrelia - Cat's Claw (Sawmento) is the current choice.

For the co-infecting protozoans - Artimsinin and/or Artimesia Annua

See: http://www.daleglaser.com/lyme/ARGFocus_October2003Newsletter2.pdf

One current 'experimental' approach is mineral-focused - Natural Salt

(also kills parasites, helps control candida and helps with detox

through re-hydration)

Dear Trudy

I do not suffer from Lyme, but get treated from a homeopath (who is my

GP) for many years. Classical homeopathy is chosen individually, so

what might be good for one person will do nothing in your case. There

are some more experimental things around though.

Best wishes

Hi Trudy

I have been taking samento, noni extract, simba, and bromelain; now

considering nattokinase as well or instead of the bromelain.

Another alternative protocol is based on Jernigan Nutraceuticals

products which include Borrelogen, Microbojen, Silphium laciniatum(

which is the main ingredients in their Silphitrin and the Neuro-

Antitox Formulas), along with the use of a systemic enzyme. This is

energy based medicine which would seem to fall somewhere between an

herbal and homeopathic approach.

Cheers, Tansy

Hi ,

I have very limited experience with homeopathic. I did try one product

previously and had instant and amazing results, so I am wanting to

investigate homeopathics for the treatment of Lyme disease.

I did come across the following sites:

Ledum homeopathic

http://cassia.org/ledum.htm

Ledum homeopathic for animals with Lyme disease

http://www.faim.org/newslet/95-01/tobin.htm

Lyme Disease

http://www.healthy.net/scr/article.asp?ID=1792

By the way, have you had any noticeable improvement with homeopathic

treatments for CFS? If so, which ones?

I realize, like you say, that homeopathy is highly individualized.

Kind regards,

Trudy

Hi Trudy!

I did not have an over all improvement with homeopathy, even though I

have a very specialised doctor. My CFS is pretty aggressive and I

think I cannot blame homeopathy for that, but it was not of much help

either. I sticked to the doctor because he is a very fine GP and

visits me at home.

Anyway, sometimes we had a little success, like a pain that

disappeared or that I can leave away sleeping meds again.

There are different ways of homeopathy:

Classic homeopathy means that a doctor or a naturopath will listen to

your whole story for about 1-3 hours (depending on the doctor and on

your story) and then will try to find a single remedy that shall help

your body to regain strength to heal itself. Sometimes they give also

the nosode of an illness, like a homeopathic version of borrelia.

In pharmacys you can often buy what is called complex homeopathy,

means the most important remedys for an illness mixed together.

Therefore you will be able to find a homeopathic headache remedy that

should fit everyone. Classic homeopaths tend to disagree with this idea.

Then there is more experimental homeopathy, like homeopathic growth

factor or homeopathic interferon.

I think you would be really lucky if you would find your individual

remedy on your own. Anyway, I think side effects could be worse, the

only thing that can happen is a very bad first reaction to the remedy

or that you get symptoms of the remedy if you take it too often.

Best wishes (yes, homeopathy is quite complex, I think it is like TCM,

if you really want to give it a try, a professional person might be a

good idea)

Hi Tansy,

This information is really helpful. Thanks for sharing it with me.

Okay, so I'm presently taking samento and noni juice (along with some

other stuff). I have never heard of simba--I'll have to research that one.

I do have some bromelain here. Perhaps I should add that. I know that

Ken recommends it.

I haven't tried nattokinase. I think that is another one Ken

recommends. I know he recommends two of them, but can't remember which

one is preferred.

I have never heard of Jernigan Nutraceuticals, but will look into that

one, as well.

Today, I just added my Kardovite http://www.kardovite.com/ . It's

supposed to be good for your heart. It sure is potent stuff. Just the

smell of the product puts a person on the run! ;-) In fact, today I had

diarrhea. It seemed like another episode of my body trying desperately

to expel toxins.

Thanks for these great tips, Tansy!

Kind regards,

Trudy

Trudy and all:

I use homeopathic Growth Hormone with great benefit. More energy, but the most

specific benefit has been improved muscle strength.

Hi Adrienne,

Thanks! I didn't even think of Growth Hormone.
