Re: Buhner book, collagen, and testing

March 1, 2010

I did not have a doc to guide me in the beginning. Buhner's book gives a pretty

good protocol to follow so I just did that and I did improve slowly. Having this

group to ask questions and hear how others were doing also helped.

Three years in, I finally have a knowledgeable doc. Having that a couple of

years ago would have helped me avoid plateauing and other difficulties and I'm

sure I would have made better progress.

But I felt it was better to treat alone with the herbs than it would have been

to not treat at all for that time. I hope you are able to find the support you

need. Its one of the big problems that we face.

be tested again (did show high levels on Igenex). Its a superbug nonetheless.

idea is to go after it in all 3 forms, and the drugs check out as effective in

Rosner's book " Top 10 Lyme Treatment Methods " .

that it will make it worse, as I took Cipro years ago and it definitely made the

bad bugs worse.
