Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi I have had lyme for over 20 years. My 16 year old daughter has had it Most of her life and my husband has had it about 10 years (he was The only one to test CDC positive. My husband and I treated ourselves with Diet,nutritional supplements,herbs And Qi Gong. My husband will also be doing the partial cowden protol next week. Our daughter was close to be bedridden and had all the co-infections. We only chose to do meprone,malarone and Zithromax for the Bartonella and Babesia. The rest of her protocol was Zhangs protocol and various immune boosting supplements for her heart and lungs. Our diet varies From raw,vegetarian,juicing and macrobiotic. Our daughter was in treatment for 3 years. She is off everything but nutritional supplements for over a year and doing great in school. We believe the lyme has damaged her mitrochondria in her cells but she is managing to do pretty much everything She wants to do. I don't think things would have gone as smoothly or the outcome would have been as good if we had Just done Abx and not changed Our diets. Elaina Re: [ ] My Lyme " success story " Hi, I may have had it for 3 years before I started on the Buhner protocol, but the whole story is that when I first had symptoms in '06: rashes, joint pain, fuzziness, I went for a Lyme test and it came up negative, but I took 3 weeks of oral antibiotics anyway. The problem is that I thought I was taking the antibiotics when I was really taking the Ibuprofin that was prescribed along with it, because the instructions and bottles were not in separate bags when I got them from the pharmacy and I mixed them up. So I was actually a month delayed in getting on the antibiotics. They did not completely cure the symptoms so I went to a chinese herbalist, and the itching ceased somewhat, but I discovered a naturopath who put me on a slightly different formula (pills instead of the horrid tasting Chinese herbs that you have to decoct). I felt much better but still had residual aches and pains so I went to yet another naturopath who did kineseology with me and he said although what I was taking helped my symptoms, they were not in the overall picture good for me so he gave me some more stuff (L- Thyrosine was one thing I remember) and I stopped taking what the first naturopath was giving me (formulas called " Clear Heat " and " Skin Balance " and the other things called VRM 1 & 2 I believe). I thought I was cured of whatever had been ailing me but last winter started feeling really tired so I went for blood tests and sure enough, this time I tested positive for Lyme. I took a round of three weeks of amoxycicline and went for another test and I STILL had it, so that's when I discovered the Buhner protocol. I have just a few weeks left until I reach the recommended minimum 8 month marker. I had a set back when I couldn't find a source for the herbs (the combined pills) a few weeks ago and began to feel achy again. In about two weeks I regained my regular energy level and feeling pain free, so I am hoping I can stop at the end of 8 months, but I am thinking now I might want to stay on them for a while year. My fear is when I stop taking the herbs, the critters will come out of hiding. My only recourse if I still test positive after 8 months or a year is to go on long term IV antibiotics. Though the oral antibiotics didn't seem to work, maybe the intravenous will. On Jan 24, 2010, at 11:35 AM, y093666 wrote: > - > > Thanks for your sucess story!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 There are many folks, my wife included, who have gotten Lyme in remission using either salt/c or CS/C/Rife without using long term antibiotics! www.lyme-resource.com You can lead a person to a fact, but you can't make them think! - > Re: [ ] My Lyme " success story " > > Hi, > > I may have had it for 3 years before I started on the Buhner > protocol, but the whole story is that when I first > had symptoms in '06: rashes, joint pain, fuzziness, I went > for a Lyme > test and it came up negative, but I took 3 > weeks of oral antibiotics anyway.
