Guest guest Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi, I've been lurking for a while and have a question I will post following this post. I have " lyme complex " as does my husband. My daughter is producing antibodies to lyme specific bands (Western Blot) and I have not yet tested my son. There are several good elists for tick born diseases. ONce for children/parents is Lyme Aids Parents and BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism / I would love to hear what others have to share!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Therese, several in our family have been diagnosed with Lymes with energy testing. The practitioner explained it to us very thoroughly and suggested we read the book, "Lab 257". The book describes a WWII era biological weapons testing lab in Lyme, Mass., which was destroyed by a storm. The author theorizes (and has evidence to back it up) that the organism which causes Lymes Disease was part of the biological weapons testing program and was then released into the environment as a result of this storm. He further explains how the Lymes spirochete enters the body from one location, travels about the body feeding and reproducing, alternately hiding deep within tissue, causing damage as it goes.This practitioner used a series of potent herbal formulas in an increasing, then decreasing, on-off process to eliminate the Lymes from our daughter. He also gave us another formula to help the kidneys keep clear. Unfortunately, we had to stop going for awhile because we just ran out of funds. But we are planning on going back this summer and starting again. Our daughter, who claimed she felt fine (yet often complained of back aches, headaches, and general malaise) began to feel fantastic after about a month on the regime. Now she is beginning to feel bad again, and I know it is time to get back and finish things! also explained that Lymes is transferred from mother to child via breast milk. He suggested that it may be us who are giving the disease to the ticks.MaureenMy questions to all of you are: Are there any books or articles about that you recommend?Are there any natural treatments that any of you have used or heardwork very well?Thank you so much,Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I would look at www.lymedoctor.com. He has a book out that is easy to read. The key with lyme is to treat early with antibiotics so it does not become chronic. Natural therapies are best added after a round of anticbiotics. It can cause serious problems for children if not address quickly.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 We are also dealing with Lyme and company, and I concur that Singleton's book is the source to refer to: The Lyme Disease Solution. Singleton has an integrated approach and very concise information. Acute stage lyme all agree is best addressed with abx for at least 6 weeks to 6 months. My daughter is producing antibodies and we have to assume this is not acute lyme and previous exposure, possibly breastmilk or in pregnancy. She is being watched by two doctors who are well versed in lyme complex. I am to start samento for bartonella after 4-5 months on mepron and biaxin for babesia. My husband has started abx treatment for bartonella. Healing Lyme is a very good book by Buhner (herbal approach).. but not generally for acute lyme, although he has a protocol for that. Samento and silver can be used for acute lyme, but most all agree that abx are proven while alternatives are not. I have alternatives on hand for tick bites if I cannot get to a doctor for a few days.
