Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 hi carolyn, fyi, i've had severe air hunger for years, which sometimes i thought of as more of a babesia symptom, not necessarily related to heart (altho of course everything is interrelated, heart and lung especially). the air hunger has actually gotten noticibly better, altho still an issue. i had severe pains in my chest heart area for about a year, including trip to emergency to rule out heart attack--all right before starting buhner. but since starting buhner protocol, the heart pain symptoms are all gone. i did not have specifically palpitations or arrhythmia. may all become clear when the time is ripe. kendra -----Original Message----- From: [mailto: ]On Behalf Of carolyntriance >My only doubt about stephania springs from SB's caution with Lyme carditis: I do get arrhythmic symptoms sometimes, also palpitations and 'airhunger' [ don't know if this adds up to carditis].

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 >Hi Kendra, Thanks for the info; I too have had the air hunger for a long time and it does seem to be worse at certain times of the year, especially late Autumn [Fall], so I have linked it to candida in my mind. It was 's description of carditis on Page 51 that made me wonder if it's part of carditis. Glad to hear that your heart symptoms have improved, Best Wishes, Carolyn > hi carolyn, > fyi, i've had severe air hunger for years, which sometimes i thought of as > more of a babesia symptom, not necessarily related to heart (altho of course > everything is interrelated, heart and lung especially). the air hunger has > actually gotten noticibly better, altho still an issue. > > i had severe pains in my chest heart area for about a year, including trip > to emergency to rule out heart attack--all right before starting buhner. but > since starting buhner protocol, the heart pain symptoms are all gone. i did > not have specifically palpitations or arrhythmia. > > may all become clear when the time is ripe. > kendra > > > -----Original Message----- > From: > [mailto: ]On Behalf Of carolyntriance > > >My only doubt about stephania springs from SB's caution with Lyme > carditis: I do get arrhythmic symptoms sometimes, also palpitations > and 'airhunger' [ don't know if this adds up to carditis]. > Does anyone else get similar symptoms to me, but is trying stephania? > > hi muriel, > > as buhner says in his book, the only reason he did not include > stephania in > > the core protocol is because it's difficult to find reliable supply. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Me too, I had lots of chest pains, heart pains (clearly after exercise), air hunger etc. Sometimes it's not the heart but intercoastal pains. Cardiac symptoms faded quite fast after Buhner's protocol, but air hunger took much longer. I think in my case was initially babesia, then I related it as herxes, then in the end as metal intoxication. It gradually ended with months of metal detoxing.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 >Hi Selma, I can't remember if you ever took stephania alongside these symptoms??
