Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello,

First a big thank you to Kendra and Robynn for getting this group up.

And I want to second the suggestion at the group home page that

people read Buhner's book. Even if you end up not following his

protocol, there is a wealth of good information on Lyme.

My experience:

I was diagnosed with 3rd stage Lyme on May 1 this year. I did one

month of doxycycline. About the middle of May I started Buhner's

protocol, and did it at full strength for 2 months. Right now I'm

not taking any treatment.

I have no symptoms except for a knee that bothers me when I climb

stairs. I'm going to my doctor next week for him to aspirate the

knee and send a sample (of fluid? not sure) to the lab to look for

Lyme.

When I was first diaagnosed my leg was so bad I could barely make it

from the living room to the bathroom. For 6 weeks I walked with a

cane. Now I walk fine, and long distance!

Of course I can't prove it, but I credit the protocol for how good I

feel. It would be highly unusual for 30 days of antibiotic to have a

big effect on 3rd stage (advanced) Lyme.

I hope this group will reach people who are thinking of alternative

treatment for Lyme.

I'll let you know the results of my next Lyme test.

taek care,

ellen
