Re: Cryptolepsis and Success with homeopathic Ledum

[Guest guest]

Cass, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thanks for posting! It feels your babesia

infection is somehow under control! It's a GREAT boost in energy,

isn't it? Most people tell 'miracles' after getting rid of babesia!

Congrats!

Ledum must be taken very long time, in my experience, for chronic

lyme sufferers. But NOT daily after initial phase of 'honey moon'

with Ledum, like you had!!

I don't take it daily but I took it sparsed in few days/ weeks during

my first infection, but in my reinfection lately, it was testing good

once every 3 days or so. In this re-infection, the best potencies for

me were 30 CH and 200 K. M potencies never tested good for this time

reinfection, I guess because I was 'acute', not chronic. M work more

for chronic cases, it seems.

Best would be to muscle test it so that you don't 'lose' it

(homeopathics are NOT like herbs, and if you take too much of the

same potency for long it WILL stop working). I don't think you can

continue on the LM potencies for very long (or on any potencies daily

for very long and still having good results).

Just a few thoughts for you, so that you can figure out what to do

next!

Hypericum is another thing to try. It's made from St. 's Wort, I

use potency 200K, it also tests like Ledum, once every few days. I

only stopped taking it the last week or so, because it stopped

testing. It catches other infections that Ledum doesn't, they are

VERY complementary.

BUT never take hypericum and ledum the same day, it just don't work

in my experience. And both need a 10 minute interval from intake of

anything else (water, food, other herbs). 10 minute before and 10

minute after, nothing to be ingested.

I do feel homeopathics work very differently than herbs, like in

another level of healing, much deeper. I don't feel improvements as

clear as you feel because I am doing long term treatment now (about

2 years for lyme and coinfections), but I feel that it works deeply

inside me in the long term. Sometimes though I have surprises like

you describe, and the reaction is very strong.

I read some people in lymenet with Bartonella homeopathic remedies

(Deseret-something brand, I think), and they got real good results

after many common medicine against bart failed. Bartonella is a TOUGH

infection to get rid of (AND very very common), if I had the chance

to get these bart nosodes here, I would have given them a try (but I

didn't find them in Europe).

I think rare are chronic lyme sufferers that DON'T have bartonella.

Another magical homeopathic thing for low body temperature is

Dulcamara, lower potencies like 6CH or 12K or 30K or 30CH. Take few

globules when you get a chilly attack, you'll get some relief fast

(not cure, but clear relief). These are much easier to take, you can

take without leaving the 'rest' time of 10 minutes, with or without

herbs, they work anyway, at least for me!!

Chills can be also herxes, thyroid problems, and EMF related

problems, plus babesia and/ or bartonella. In my experience, I got

them all as causes for chills...

Babesia WILL cause bad herxes anyway, for most people, its herxes ARE

HORRIBLE. For me, much worse than anything else, I think. I

understand constraints of work, but I herxed horribly with few drops

of PC-Noni in my first babesial infection, herxed horribly with

artemisinin in both infections, and in my experience, it takes only 2

weeks without babesia treatment to get the critters back in high

numbers to get new horrible herxes again then, so in my case, babesia

herxes were unfortunately innevitable.

On the other hand, you can still have high levels of energy during

herxes, little anxiety, air hunger under control etc, but you gotta

take cleansers EVERY HOUR during worst herxes (for me meatn about 10

times/ day), which is not easy during work. I was homebound because

of these cleanser's frequent intake this time re-infection, first

time infection I ended up in emergency twice with babesia herxes with

TERRIBLE air hunger attacks.

Now that your babesia is a bit under control, don't leave it

untreated for more than 2 weeks, until you notice NO MORE herxes from

babesia killers. That's what I am doing.

I will wait now a month for my next 'hardcore' treatment for 2-3

days, either with high dose artemisinin again or Riamet or anything

that tests. In between I still continue with PC-noni and the KMT

sometimes. Once babesia is totally out of picture, healing from the

rest of coinfections and borrelia gets easier (not in time, but in

suffering!)!!! It happened for me and many other people.

Good luck and keep us posted,Cass!

a 14-day course of Cryptolepsis, supported by Red Root tincture,

Smilax, and the other adjunct herbs and supplements recommended for

Babesia. I had very few symptoms show up or change during this time,

and have only had some sweatting since. My out-of-balance and

vertigo have now been gone for two months!!
