Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 My wife was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme by Dr. Swami in Hermitage, Pa in January. She has been on Doxi for 9 months, Biaxin (sp) for 6 months, Malaria medicine & Valtrex for co-infections, dozens of supplements from Pure Encap. for 6 months. She has battled Candida several times and has no immune system at all. Her pain has steadily gotten worse in her back, knees, joints. However, she rarely seems to have a Herx reaction. I finally ordered her Buhner's book on battling Lyme with alternative medicines and I'm facinated. I've ordered her Androphraphis Full Spectrum (400mg tabs), Cats Claw (500mg caps), Resveratrol Std Extrac from Hu Zhang & Sarsaparilla (caps). I have also read some of Wolf Storl's book where he touts Teasel Root as the best cure along with heat therapy. Read a little on Rife machines also, but 50% of those reviews say it is snake oil. Trying to decide what to do??? Leaning towards slowly introducing the herbs above and at the same time reducing the antibiotics. I know Dr. Swami will be pissed if she does that and I know he is very respected in the Lyme community. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi , It's hard to say what to do. You and your wife really need to go with your gut feelings about the antibiotics vs. the herbs. I found an LLMD who uses both antibiotics and herbs. He also uses homeopathic remedies and I'm taking two for detox to help the die-off herxing. I was on antibiotics for 2.5 years and finally got to the point where my body was telling me not to take them anymore. I couldn't put a pill in my mouth and just felt over-loaded. I went off the abx for four months before I found my new LLMD (my previous one moved away). Now I'm happy to be taking herbs instead of abx. I want to give them a chance to help heal me. Everyone's story is different, so it will be good to see all the replies that come in. Best to you and your wife, Janet > > My wife was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme by Dr. Swami in Hermitage, Pa in January.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hello, Thanks for sharing. Healing professionals treat according to what they know, what they've learned, etc. Everyone has their own conditioning based on countless factors. Your wife's path is her own, and obviously you are part of her healing journey....she is fortunate to have you as a partner in this. My only input is that you both listen to your own truth and inner guidance....and find someone to work with you/her who respects what is right for you. If the doctor you are working with isn't respectful of your inner guidance, you can say thank you and open to the next person who can be of assistance. Sending peace and ease to you and your wife, yarrow > > My wife was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme by Dr. Swami in Hermitage, Pa in January.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hi : If your MD will " be pissed " because your wife wants to try a new treatment, after almost a year of an ineffective one, then I think you should hunt around and see if you can find another MD who is more receptive to alternative treatments. Each alternative will have its supporters and detractors, so I agree with others who have said that you should choose one that you feel most comfortable trying. Alas, there is no " best evidence " or " best practices " for Lyme, so we're all creating the evidence as we go along.
