Re: Li Dan Pian - chinese herb

ok. I'm glad you are aware of lyme disease. Believe it or not, I was an avid

hiker and never heard of it until I was diagnosed with it last year. So if you

know about it, I think that's half the battle.

Speaking of chinese herbs. When I started having gallbladder pain, I search

the internet for chinese herbs for the gallbladder and found Li Dan Pian. I got

it and it works amazing for me. I have gallbladder pain whenever I eat, I take

about 3 Li Dan Pian tablets just before I eat the pain goes away, right

away, miraculously. The brand I got was mayway/Plum Flower:

If you google it, you will find a description of Li Dan Pian that says:

" Li Dan Pian (Gallbladder Support) is a special formula for gallbladder health.

It clears heat in the liver and gallbladder, harmonizes the middle burner,

relieves pain and removes gallstones. "

Thanks Roxanne,

Yes, I regularly get tested for lymes disease because we have so many deer and

ticks around here it's unbelievable. But, i am suffering from issues I have had

for a very long time. I am trying very hard to get to bottom of it or to just

make the best decisions I can.

The vitamin D seems to help me. It is fat soluble, so one would have to be

careful about quantity.

Actually, awhile ago, Dave Sheldon sent an amazing email about depression and I

have to go dig it up. Sometimes, I just get overwhelmed trying to keep up with

everything.

Well, about overwhelmed. ..other doctors say I have severe post traumatic

stress..anyway, where's my gall bladder in all this? My anger or " gall "

finally's caught up with me...lol.

This too shall pass.

Rose

Hi Rose,

Have you talked to your doctor yet about lyme disease? I was MIS-diagnosed with

chronic fatigue for 7 years before I finally got the correct diagnosis of lyme

disease w/ coinfections. chronic fatigue, brain fog and neurologic conditions

such as bipolar and depression are very typical with lyme disease. In my case,

the last 6 months especially that I was misdiagnosed, I thought I was going

crazy. Whereas before I got lyme, I always had a pretty calm personality.

With regards to vit D. I had one doctor who couldn't say enough good things

about it and kept telling me to take more Vit D supplements. Then my current

doctor told me about something called the " Marshall Protocol " which says people

with certain immune system dysfunction should avoid foods and supplements

containing vitamin D. In my case, I do have pretty severe immune system

dysfunction due to my body trying to fight off the lyme disease for 7 years

without the help of any medicine. I also always noticed after I took Vit D that

I felt alittle worse after taking it. And a recent blood test also showed I had

elevated levels of Vitamin D. I guess overall, for most people Vitamin D would

help but there are some cases where Vitamin D is not a good idea.

I would get a confirmatory electro dermal screening test done for Borellia.

Many blood tests have been shown to be inaccurate for Lyme.
