Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 -- The Doctor that found the neurotoxin connection is Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker from Pocomoke City, Md. I know this because I was part of his clinical trial of the cholestyramine (?), and the Visual test. This was several years ago, but he actually sent me a kit to test my visual acuity and we corresponded via phone. He is a friend of my cousin and they were talking about Lyme one day and he was talking about his research and she said Hey! I have a cousin who is on IV's because of Lyme and that is how the connection was made. I even made it into his book " Desperate Medicine " . I am not selling anything, just telling you about my experience. I thought the cholestyramine helped. I went through an incredible herx as a result of the treatment (that is before they added the actos to the protocol). My gosh, I thought I was thrown a year backward! But after the treatment was over, I really did feel very good. I was still on abx and I am sure I have built up more neurotoxins and need to use the protocol again. If you are near land, you may want to try to consult with him about the protocol. I do know that he has consulted with Doctors who are treating Lyme patients to make sure that the proper protocol is followed. You would be consulting with the Dr. that developed the protocol. Again, I am not selling anything. I am just sharing my experience and the results of that experience. If you are taking the Questran, how much did your doctor perscribe? When I was on the protocol, I took it 4 times a day! I found it was easier to take it dissolved in Orange Juice (at least it didn't taste as bad and it wasn't as lumpy). Also ask about the actos. It was added to the protocol after I was on it, but it is supposed to help so that the herx is not as bad. This website gives further information on the neurotoxins. http://www.chronicneurotoxins.com/learnmore/lymedisease.cfm Hope this helps.
