Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi , Yes it does help, thank you. I know she may have to restart the abx, but I really wanted to give her system a break from them. Also, the herbalist we are working with felt that after all this time on abx with no improvements, it's probably not reaching any of the bugs. Hope your recovery continues to improve, Aviva On May 7, 2010, at 3:05 PM, Manno wrote: > Hi. > > I have been on the Buhner protocol for 11 months (36-48 pills a day). > I started feeling better about 6 months after I started.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi , Nothing has come up for babesia, but she does have a pos. IGg for bartonella that has been treated twice with rifampin and once with minocycline. She sees a pretty experienced LLMD (Dr. ) and I think he would have treated for it if he really thought her symptoms were babesia, but he is human... I have read that the constant headache is a relatively common Lyme symptom in children. She may very well have un-identified co-infections, or viral ones for that matter. My thinking is that if she feels the same off abx as on, then why not keep her off? She is taking the herbs that I hope can support her and carry her through this... I feel for you and your daughter. I hope her symptoms continue to improve. Thank you for your input, I greatly value everyone's opinion, Aviva On May 7, 2010, at 4:09 PM, WAlakhdar@... wrote: > > With the constant headaches, I would have to ask if she has been > treated > for babesiosis. > > I have taken my daughter, now 11, off antibiotics twice.
