Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 How do we hear Lyme Talk please? Has anyone had good luck with alternatives to antibiotics? They destroy my stomach- even IV Rocephin. I just found out after 5 years of chronic fatugue syndrome that I have lyme l-form, erlichia, and babesia! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Donna, As sad as it may be, you are correct about " Money, Money, Money " , The AF is about fund-raising for research. Since I have been out of touch with the AF for a few years it looks like a few policy changes have occured. When I called I expected to be greeted with a hardy " Welcome, what can we do to help? " , however I was greeted by a young person that seemed to have better things to do than discuss a support group for young adults. Considering I am located in the third, or forth largest metro area in the country you would think they would be eager to help out. I am in the process of spreading the word about http://www.jraadults.com via the web, but was hoping to get involved with the local AF chapter in an effort to bring a AJAO conference to our area sometime in the future. Seems like a portion of the foundation should be set aside for " Here and Now " issues and I don't mean the printing of a brochure that they send you in the mail. Even the on going programs they do have such as the Aquatics program seems to be really lacking in AF backing. I may do as you mentioned and start a group on my own without AF support...aL > hey there Al! Just wanted to pitch in my 2 cents on the AF and support > groups.

The ratio is 2 Calcium to 1 Magnesium up to 1 Calcium to 1 Magnesium. If there is a Mg imbalance to begin with, additional Mg may be needed short term to bring the Ca and Mg into balance. mjh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can be some serious side effects with Synthroid. Virgin coconut oil has helped many improve thyroid function. Go read the website I posted earlier. I am on my way back to the hospital.......... 7 weeks today. Home once. mjh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
