Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Dear Selma, Thanks for the crossed fingers. Its pretty rough going. My Babs symptions had calmed down and now today starting up again. Its Sat and I take my second go round on monday.Take care Miss u also. Joyce selmanaka <hardynaka@...> wrote: Joyce and Connie! Nice to hear you're accepting artemisinin, Joyce. You sounded better than the last weeks too. Crossing fingers for your babs treatment! I also answered a bit about homeopathics in my other post about update on my treatment. If you'd like details, I can send you an email? But I suppose it won't be of any use, as it's very individual. Connie, I agree with Joyce on amounts. Some people can barely handle 100mg artemisinin. I could handle 1,200mg for 3 days. But only once or twice (I can't remember). The other time I did the same, I collapsed!!! A bad reaction to artemisinin feels like life threatening. I'm not writing this to scare you only. Just read what other people write about artemisinin. In lymenet there's a person posting lately and he feared for his life after taking it. He's not sure he got a permanent damage. So just be extra careful with artemisinin or any babs treatement. There's no way for cronic people to heal lyme fast. At least, I never heard of. Think of it as a marathon. You need to save energy for the long run fight. If you overdo something and get your liver in trouble or your kidney, heart, well, you'll understand that fast. But if you could avoid going to these extremes, your body will thank you. You're dealing with a highly toxic bactery, plus the chance you got loads of heavy metals that may get free when you kill them and cause other very nasty symptoms. And if you have fungal infections altogether and you're attacking these together, when you kill these, they also liberate awful toxins and metals and then you get your body a high burden. I never reached even half of Buhner's protocol and I improved, slowly but steady. Each person is different. I know we all want to get better as fast as possible. I want, I get desperate sometimes, but every single time I overdid something, I paid that back afterwards. I felt like going 2 steps forward, but 4 steps back. this time I tested good for 4 andrographis pills a day. It's a first time for me, I always tested maximum 3 only. Take care!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Everyone!! Just wanted to post something wrote back to me this morning regarding this question. He agreed that a high dose is different for everyone (based on weight, etc)--so we dont have to all shoot for the maximums posted in his book. I also got the impression , however, that too low doses will be somewhat ineffective. He also suggested not pulsing the herbs (unlike other stuff) except for s. ginseng and J. knotweed. His experience has been that Lymies get worse pulsing as the time off allows for bacteria to multiply....hmmm, food for thought, eh? Also recommended Cryptoleptis (Bear Creek Herbs, MO) if artemisinin doesn't work for Babesia. Anyone tried this? Thanks again for your thoughts on this question-- Take care and best wishes for healing during that lovely moon out there-- :-) Connie selmanaka <hardynaka@...> wrote: Joyce and Connie!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Selma, I am so pleased to hear of your progress! That is wonderful you are doing so well! Thanks so much for sharing in detail your journey and protocol. I have done just about all of what you mention below and am sicker than ever....have been on herbs almost half a year for Lyme and all co-infections, (except for cats claw which I did for 9 months and it did nothing) done the metals/cleansing, etc. for over a year also. ART testing for stuff and so doing a few other protocol (Rifing, salt/C, chlorella cilantro garlic, essential oils, etc....so maybe I'm just in one big herx. Thats my hope. (BTW, I see Dr. E who follows a lot of Dr. K's protocol) How long has it taken you to improve? Thanks for sharing about your fears, going to the ER and what's happened since...that is really encouraging to know how much of a turnaround you have had! Blessings and best wishes, Connie selmanaka <hardynaka@...> wrote: Hi Connie, glad you'll be attentive to your body. Your body is the most precious gun against lyme! I posted a few times about my progress with the herbs. Could you do a search? If you don't find it, just write me again. Summary: I was not functional at all, and now I'm almost totally functional more than 90% of the time. Buhner's herbs helped me during all my healing process, but there were a few other things that also helped me. My husband doesn't have lyme, and now I feel I got more energy than him! First, diet (non-allergenic food). I'm totally convinced this is a must (no wheat, no milk derivates). Second: the micro-current (KMT sessions) to fight parallel infections (non-tick born). Third: heavy metal detox (I'm still not totally convinced of these though, as I'm in the process of cleansing). But chlorella is certainly a main herb in the same proportion as any (or all) Buhner's herbs. Fourth: cleansing. I think I forgot other stuff. Just take a look at the previous posts. While I was doing Buhner's herbs all by myself, I noticed improvement, but I was still stuck. What got me better were these ART sessions with an experienced practioner. It was there that she measured my herbs and added a few more stuff I was not taking (chlorella included) and since then I just improved (I mean, I have my ups and downs, but the average is always going up). The change I did on the protocol after seeing her was minimum, but as I attacked other parasites/ parallel infections (I had no idea I had these infections) and did the diet immediately, I felt so much better in about 2 weeks!! Strong herbs like andro, artemisia annua, Japanese knotweed (even cats claw), I never stood a lot. I stood a lot of artemisinin until I collapsed. Even in low doses, the herbs continued to kill, because I improved steadily (slow though). I think one good advice is never to stop attacking borrelia, even when you attack other pathogens. You should lower the borrelia killings though. They will eventually lose the battle if you insist, and if you cleanse your body continually. In March I was still going to emergency and thinking I was not going to survive much longer. From April on, I never stepped in a hospital anymore, never got any attack of air hunger, night terrors etc. There IS hope. Take care!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Ellen, I've had a positive Igenex test and also two ART practitioners (muscle testing) who have both diagnosed me with Lyme. I guess it's possible that I also have something else contributing to my symptoms besides Lyme--but then again, I surmise that is the case with most of us. . THanks, Connie rasheedaas <rasheedaas@...> wrote: Connie, Is there any possibility that what you have is not Lyme?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I personally am not attentive to my body like I should be. I am BIG on Sugar, Milk products, WHeat and just about anything else that some of you must stay away from. I probably would heal better and faster IF I wasn't so addicted to these things. Maybe that is why I need to take much more herbs than you do Selma. I don't know. I just keep plugging away the best I can in my little way.
