15yo son-no antibiotics but on Protocol for 5 weeks need advice/encouragement?

[Guest guest]

I am hoping you can advise us further. I removed a tick from my son's back on

8/24. A few days later he complained of a painful lymph node on his back

shoulder. The node was a shooter marble size and rock hard. The bite area looked

like a wasp/bee sting--not a bull's eye type rash. I rubbed EO on the lymph node

and bit area, though my son said the bite area did not bother him in the least.

A few days later the lymph node on the opposite shoulder became enlarged. My son

then complained of a migraine type headache and then chronic fatigue set in.

this all took place in the first 10 days of removal. (btw- the tic was a nymph &

not engorged-and no I did not save it) I took him to our naturopath and she did

magnetic/electronic testing of some sort on him and said that he had lyme

disease and it was a level 3 out of 10 (10 the worst).

We then had to make the decision how to approach this. He had a western blot

test run at 4 weeks after the removal of the tick and he was negative. I ordered

Haling Lyme & started the protocol 5 weeks ago. The lymph nodes returned to

normal size within a couple of weeks. He still suffers terribly from chronic

fatigue. We home school, so on 'bad' days he sleeps all day. We have about 3

days a week (sometimes more) where he cannot get out of bed. He does not want to

eat, just sleep.

On his 'good' days, he seems to be waling around in a daze. This is not normal

for him. Some may say this is normal teenage behavior, but this is very out of

the norm for our son. We chose not to do antibiotics as we felt we found the

right herbs and jumped right on it aggressively and have remained consistent.

Our son has only had an occasional day here and there with muscle aches or

arthritic symptoms. As I type this he is on day 3 of being bed-ridden.

(complete sleep. Only up maybe 1 hour total per day)

He is taking all Core Protocol herbs of the suggested brands mentioned in the

book. We worked our way up to max dosage this week and have been at max dosage

for 5 days. (Astragulus, Cat's Claw, Resveratrol, Andrographis,) He is also

taking:

Sarsaparilla 425mg 4 caps 4x a day

Eleuthero (HerbPham) 1 tsp 3x a day (been on this 8 days)

Red Root (Eclectic Institute)- 30 drops 4x a day

BioSil-10 drops morning

Vit C 4000mg a day

Raw D3 2000 a day, Raw B-Complex one a day, Raw Multi, Probiotics (2x a day),

Digestive enzymes ( all garden of Life)

He eats for the most part an all organic, low sugar, some dairy (raw),

meats/eggs all organic free range. No processed foods, no sodas, no caffeine. He

has eaten this way for years.

Should we be doing antibiotics in conjunction? Am I missing an herb? We are very

concerned and would appreciate any advice. Our son is missing days that have now

added up to weeks in his studies. It has now been 8.5 weeks since I removed the

tick. Thank you again in advance for your help.
