Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hello All, I'm new to the group, I had Lyme about 12 years ago, did the doxy and felt fine. About 1.5 years ago I went in for a routine dental visit, came out w/a full blown infection which spread thru my whole mouth, months of abx's which didn't stop it, I had to have 8 teeth extracted and contracted c diff, clostridium and almost died. The infection/abx's weakened my immune system so badly the Lyme came back out, I thought it was gone forever, but I guess not. I did a bunch of abx's, and just finished IV rocephrin, now on bicillin shots, nothing has made me feel better. I have Lyme/bartonella. I've been doing the salt/c w/o any results. I want to start Buhner's protocol and was wondering where I can purchase the herbs. Has anyone done anything that has made them feel better? if so, could you share with me so I can try something. Any suggestions you could give me would be greatly appreciated, I feel so lost in this battle. I reside in CT and all the Lyme specialists/infectious disease Dr's will only give me ABX's. I feel like they're making me worse. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 , an excellent protocol description. I hadn't thought about putting a temp in my mouth. Lately it has been hot here and my body doesn't deal with the heat well - like all my energy is zapped after a very short time. The only addition I have is adding Redisorb glutithione for detoxing and immune support. What did you notice when you added the stephania? do you also buy that in bulk?

Do you have a big bathtub, or sauna, or steam room, or hot tub? I bought a used hot tub on ebay, kept the temperature really high, and every day I got in it, shut the lid over my head, shoved a thermometer in my mouth, and drove my temperature up to at least 102 degrees. It made a big difference. I lost the hot tub in the ice storm last year, but I still do my best to drive my temperature up above 102 in my bathtub. It's a little harder, but it can be done. For herbs, I've been using japanese knotweed, sarsaparilla, and cat's claw for 2 1/2 years. And I started using stephania about 6 months ago. I've tried different combinations, and for me, this one is best. I get the cat's claw at mountainroseherbs.com. It's only $8/lb there, so very economical. I just noticed that have sarsaparilla for $10.25/lb, but I haven't tried theirs yet. I have also bought their red root (cut and sifted) and their boneset (cut and sifted). I use them for tea, and they have been very helpful. KT Botanicals has very good prices. And their sarsaparilla is very tasty. Add a couple grams to water, add some stevia for sweetness, and you have flat rootbeer. Very yummy and effective. Maxnature.com has very good prices and very fast service. I have used them for stephania, sarsaparilla and knotweed. If you do the heat therapy, be sure there is someone to help you. You can have a drop in blood pressure, causing you to faint and drown. And, depending on how sick you are, I imagine you could have other adverse effects. So until you know how your body responds, do not try it alone. And if you are very ill, discuss it with your doctor. Or simply start very slowly - like push your temp up to 99 the first time, and see how that works for you. Good luck. D.

Hi, , I have found that heating myself up like this really helps with my heat tolerance. I don't get zapped like I used to. > > The only addition I have is adding Redisorb glutithione for detoxing and > immune support. I've never tried this. I'll have to look into it. > What did you notice when you added the stephania? do you also buy that in > bulk? So far I've been buying the Plum Flower brand 100-gram containers of 5:1 extract powder. I mix it with the others. I'm going to check out other sources, try to find it cheaper. I did notice an increase in energy with the stephania, and an improved feeling of wellness, if that makes any sense. I think it has helped with the tinitis, but it's hard to say, since it could just be continued treatment with the whole shebang that finally got it. And I am sleeping better.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I have some stephania 5:1 powder, does that mean that you only have to take 1/5 of the regular dose--how much do you take??

I take 2 grams morning and evening. If I get the ground root, I expect I'll have to take more of it. I don't know if this is " right, " but it works for me. D.
