Re: Herbs and/or antibiotics-

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks. I think I will start taking the other Buhner herbs. I have 10 days to

go on Rocephin, so I may just give it a shot. I was only worried about the

heparin flushes but they're not the same thing as actually taking blood

thinners. This way I can just continue ther herbs afterward.

How do you deal with this mentally? I find at times I have hope and feel like I

can tackle this and get better; other times, I feel like I will never be the

same again as I once was.

How long were you on the IV? They've got me on these peripheral lines -- doc

ordered it that way to avoid infection or blood clots -- it's very hard, I have

to have the line changed every 5-7 days so I'm getting stuck with needles a lot.

Just pours more salt into the wound, so to speak.

Thanks,

Kate

[ ] Herbs and/or antibiotics

I disagree with the contention that long term antibiotic use destroys the

immune system. I have been treated with many antibiotics over the past

four years, both oral and IV. My immune system was in such a bad state

that without the antibiotics, I could have never managed to come back from

Lyme and the four co-infections I had.

I have had no colds and only one virus in all of this time so as long as

your doctor is supplementing your immune system with the proper

supplementation, there is a decent chance that you will eventually be

fine. I am also using Buhner's protocol along with some other herbs my

doctor uses and for me, neither is a panacea. However I have come along

way and I could have never come this far without the antibiotics.

Just another perspective.
