Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 It took me 12 years to test positive for Lyme. I tested positive for Babesiosis the first time anyone thought to test for it. You have to watch for which lab they are using and if they're only calling it positive if it matches CDC. I wish they would stop printing that on the results. SSA, Medicare, Workers' Comp., etc. don't know the difference and take it at face value.

It is sometimes hard to rely on the test, especially if you have been on abx. The little suckers hide and cannot be detected. From my personal explerience, most of my test have come back marginal at best, but my somptoms are so bad at times my dr. relies on clinical symptoms. Just my thought, any others out there. Thanks,b [ ] Tested negative for lyme The latest crop of blood tests all showed up negative. They included the Western blot, some co-infection tests (babyosis and the one with an e) and a few other tests (sera something, etc.) My symptoms seem a bit better but there's still some tingling going on. And I did feel like crap over the weekend so maybe that was herxing? Also no burning jaw or numbness (just head tingling) since I started abx so maybe things are settling down. My LLMD said to stay on the abx until my next visit in Feb and I assume there will be further blood tests then. Does this sounds like the right advice to you veterans? Is there anything else I should be doing prior to that visit?

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 I'm sure you will get some GREAT advice from here!! I am a Chronic Lymie. I tested Negative for 6 years.. Then I went to see a LLD in Colmar, PA. again I tested negative but he looked at the banding in the tests. He said I definately have Lyme Disease. To be honest with you I thought that this was like most of the other SCAMS that we've seen. But to make everyone happy I took the oral ABX he gave me.. and after 2 months of Oral ABX .. I tested Possative. Well I appologized to the Dr. and I'm not on IV Rocephin.. 5th or 6th month.. WHEW I just plain FEEL BAD.. but this doesnt come or go. I have seen some improvments but its a slow process. My last Lyme test (Western Blot) says I'm once again negative for Lyme. Ya know what I have to say to the CDC " BITE ME " If your Dr. said to stay on the ABX's until Feb. I would... I dont think its really going to hurt anything? But I'm sure there are others on here that are full of information and can really help you.. Sorry for such a long note. But I was in a typing mood and had to Vent... and I'm sure there are many on here that would also say " BITE ME " to the CDC.. Ray > The latest crop of blood tests all showed up negative.

I did 5 yrs. of abx, including Mepron/zith for months and months, flagyl at high doses, Suprax, Ceftin, Dynabac, etc. I tested pos. for bartonella, mycoplasma, HHV-6, babesia, ehrlichia, Epstein barr and nanobacteria, to name a few. I used to advocate to everyone " You MUST do abx! " Not anymore. Abx, in my opinion, just chase the bacteria in hopes of catching it and eradicating it, which we all know will never be 100%. So what happens....we take abx, herx, feel lousy for many, many months to years....finally show somewhat improvement, and once the abx are ceased, the symptoms slowly creep back with a vengeance. So we start on the treadmill again..... abx which leads to all kinds of problems...one of the most significant is candida albicans. This vicious cycle has to be followed then for the rest of the persons life. I have NEVER in the 8 yrs. of being involved with lyme advocacy (and fighting this disease, husband was deathly ill, 5 of my 6 kids were chronic), found one person that is permanantly 'cured'. Some claim to be cured but EVERY time I get an e-mail 6 mos, a year, whatever later saying " it is back " . Or a person claims to be 'done' yet they are suffering with lower back/disc problems, headaches, shoulder pain, sinus problems, etc.... but it is not lyme, no. So why don't we look at this disease in a different manner?? What if we were to change the internal environment so that lyme can be kept in check....so it can lay dormant?? I am working with clients in the natural realm of lyme disease. What this means is.... I detox the body, cleanse it, nourish it and rebuild it. I am finding that most of my clients have the co-infection of babesia and this is crucial. What I am using is Artemesinin from Allergy Research Group (it is also wonderful for cancer--will send a separate e-mail). Artemesinin is being used for the children in Africa for malaria. I am getting wonderful results, myself included. Once the body is balanced, we then use the Cat's Claw or Samento or Prima Una de Gato...all the same thing. It is a very potent, natural antibiotic which is working beautifully. (again self, husband, clients using it with great results). This is creating a lasting effect on the person, changing their life to a healthier lifestyle. I work a great deal with ALS/ Lou Gehrigs/late, late stage lyme. This is very exciting work and I believe it is a wonderful alternative for Rx with permanant results. sue massie, CNHP, Iridologist, Naturopathic Dr. Candidate 732 933-4011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Sue......how long has this practice been studied? How expensive is the treatment? How long must one stay on the treatment? It sounds much better than Doxy! I have been on Doxy since 1997 and can barely maintain....would like not to have cysts, herxing, and all the symptoms of taking Doxy. SueV. What this means is....

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Your message has been edited. Please read the file entitled " Cleaning " Instructions found at /files/ for more information. Lyme Aid Owner ========== Hi Sue, Doxy is highly caustic. If I'm not mistaken it is a form of Penicillin (spelling) Lots of people are allergic to pen. Also NY State study says IV. Don't know how yours is being administered. According to NYS study the Lyme spiralkeet has crossed over the lining of the brain and into the spinal fluid. There are only a hand full of Biotics that cross over the membrane and reach the brain and spinal fluid.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 On or about Sunday, January 25, 2004 10:27 PM [GMT+1=CET], mt <mtien@...> sprinkled letters onto the page, saying: > Hi, Sue, > > You seem to have a good solution here. So, there is a cure for Lyme > and its co-infections? > Hmmm... I have been led to believe by many health professionals that there is NO cure for Lyme. Unfortunately I cannot get Sue Massie to confirm her 'cure' as she seemingly refuses to answer my emails on the subject. Wouldn't this be fantastic? The best I have come across so far is Samento liquid extract... Many improvements, but some disappointments... Still, after 27 years I can wait. I can't remember my life being any different.
