Re: NEEM - anti-inflammatory - antimicrobial - anti-just-about-everything

Well, Yasko recommends it, so I have a bottle of it. I'll try to pay

more attention to see if using it makes any noticeable differences to

me.

That's interesting. What specific aspects of the illness is she recommending it for? Does she say? pennyKate <KateDunlay@...> wrote: Well, Yasko recommends it, so I have a bottle of it.

It's part of Yasko's gut protocol. She recommends using it in

combination with other herbs (rotated or same time) to avoid resistance:

" Neem- This works well in conjunction with a number of other

supplements that may have antimicrobial properties. One group that

works extremely well together is Oregon Grape, Neem, Myrrh,

Goldenseal, and Cranberry, Oregamax +/- Uva Ursi. "

Interesting.

I'll look into it. Although I shouldn't suppress my IS while trying

to enhance it I guess..

ALthough if I knew what I was doing and selectively suppress a part-

while enhancing another arm- maybe I'd get somewhere.

I'm very close to trying TF...

maybe enhancing my immune system will do something with these skin

lesions (I'm getting more- all located from knees down, and elbows

down)

I don't quite understand the mechanism behind ACA fully- whether

there's DNA products from borrelia in the skin- or whether there's

actually some adapted pathogens in the skin... Or whether this is

(for sure) Lyme related at all.

But maybe enhancing my immune system will do something..
