What treatments are working for people in dealing with Lyme Disease?

[Guest guest]

I have 3 in my family with Lyme, and no one seems to be getting better.

We've done antibiotics, Samento, other herbal treatments.

Has anyone been cured or significantly improved?

What works?

The three in our family all had chronic lyme & babesosis. We are in MA. We

absolutely followed what our lyme doc told us..... Myself (Brigham & Women's

said I had Atypical MS and I was to go on steroids --) I was on 2 yrs. of abx --

the first year being IV as well as orals. My husband-- went after his heart

& some neuropathy as well -- 2 yrs. of orals.

Our daughter, then early 20s -- 9 mos of orals. We took all the supplements

he recommended....... Keeping fingers crossed -- it worked. We were treated

2005 & 2006.

Bill & I turned 60 last year. The abx took care of all of his lyme type

symptoms but Dartmouth - Hitchcock finally straightened his heart out -- 24/7

Atrial Fib.

I believe that the treatment must be intense and you must stay with it. Our

lyme dr., now in NYC, saved our lives I feel. When I hear people talk of

2-3 mos. as long term I cringe--- I do not feel that is nearly long enough.

Good luck and email me directly if you want.

Artemisinin didn't seem to do anything for me. Antibiotics just about

destroyed my stomach, so had to quit them after two months. It was the

herbs recommended in the Healing Lyme book by Harrod Buhner,

that worked for me. I have been on his herbs for about three years

now.

I am on a low maintenance herbal regimen now. It works for me. I am

at about 90 to 95% and was near death in fall of 2005. ANd I am 67

years old so age is against me too.
