Re: My Vitamin/Supplement Regimen

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much. This list seems really wonderful. I was diagnosed about

3 weeks ago ... right now I am on an antibiotic but I forget what it's

called, I'll check that later. I've been soooo tired lately - - - does the

tiredness always happen???

I'm not too happy about being on an antibiotic because I really don't like

taking pharmacetuicals ... I'm more for the natural route. So I was

wondering if anyone has had success with homeopathy? It sounds like you all

have been on medicine for a long time - I'm really not looking foward to

that. I didn't know this was all that complicated.

Thank you, Kim

<< Hi Kim,

Sorry to hear about your Lyme Disease diagnosis...but at least you now

know what you are dealing with. Do you know how long ago you were

bitten? What, if any, antibiotics are you taking?

I know how hard it is for a person your age to be dealing with this. My

daughter is almost 19 and was infected when she was 9...she has been

doing fine for the past few years, with proper rest. Feel free to e-mail

me anytime. Take care, Joan

Hello Byron:

This paragraph caught my attention!! I know that I have some

sort of auto=immune response that goes on.....I have had a positive

ANA for years....I believe that is why I have so many rashes...

and gastric and intestinal problems....My body hyper-reacts to

many things.....I believe the spirochetes, the dead spiros,

toxins and pollutants including just the gases, reactions to new

carpet and new clothes.....just going in a dept store starts me up...

There is also one other factor that I have finally come to realize

invokes this response in my body.....STRESS.......Ithink I have

known for a long time...but never wanted to face it. If I even

have a disagreement (or a big fight) with my hubby......I will not

be able to sleep AT ALL.....If there are other factors affecting

my life.....I will not sleep for days....I become very ill and then

develope other symptoms....arthritic, severe burning constant

pain (that makes me suicidal) and many others that I just can't

pull from my short term memory at this time!! (Oh yeah.....and

rashes!!!! )

I try and keep my life strife free....but its impossible when I

am married to a man going thru his midlife crisis (hes gonna be

45) I know he will mellow out in about 5 years.....but can I live

until then??? I pray alot and love peace and quite and alone

time....like tonight when I can do what I want....which is just

read the list and scan the net and watch the waltons and

listen to the birds.....while my hubby is teaching martial arts and

my son is training....and its just me and my kitty enjoying the

peace and quiet.....

I would be interested in knowing any ideas for dealing with

this auto immune response.....the doc has given me steroids when

I have the severe herx while on IV......the first few herxs are not

too bad....but then it builds up and I feel like I will die if I do

not get relief.....the steroids calm it down in two days....but I know

the steroids are harmful.....I would rather take a natural

substance.......

thanks for listening!

hi all,

my daughter's internist/holistic doc said that he agreed with her llmd about

not taking c and e (he and i really didn't want to stop them)

he and llmd say spirochetes feed on anti-oxidants.

just FYI!

Hi Byron,

Do you use Alfalfa as a supplement at all, and if so, how much? I read to

use double the amount prescribed on the label. I had my son use it to

detoxify, but I just found out that it neutralizes acids also, so maybe would

help pain for lyme patients.

I believe it also acts as a diuretic.

Do you know of any limits on amounts to take or adverse reactions?

Thanks in advance for the info. It's good to have someone on this list

knowledgable in this field.

ALFALFA - Aids in healing allergies, arthritis, morning sickness, peptic

ulcers, stomach ailments & bad breath; cleanses the kidneys & removes poisons

from the body; neutralizes acids; is an excellent blood purifier & blood

thinner; improves the appetite and aids in the assimilation of protein,

calcium & other nutrients

Hi ...

Alfalfa is great...but watch out if you have hayfever or weed allergies.

Dosage varies... some people take 10 a day...some 60 over a day. Great

stuff...go slow though and see how your body reacts.

Hi All

I'm new to this message board but not new to lyme disease. I contracted lyme in

1990, but through alternative treatments have been symptom free since 1994. In

response to the alfalfa, I have used it for years, even before I got lyme. I use

Shaklee brand and at times have taken up to 30 tablets daily. Normally I take

10 daily in divided doses. I have found it to be extremely good for my lyme

arthritis. Also extremely helpful with detoxifying.

and am goint o follow up with tsome research on it. Will let you know what I

find out.
