RE:Naltrexone and Lyme Disease Questions...

[Guest guest]

My wife has responded well to LDN for MS but we did look into Lyme a little and I would recommend that you get yourself a copy of the book Lyme Disease and Rife Machines www.lymebook.com . I think it may answer a lot of your questions. There is also a group on the subject Lyme-and-rife/

and I would suggest you ask some questions there, the only thing I would warn you about is that most people diagnosed with Lyme were originally diagnosed with MS, many there will give you the impression that MS does not exist and the correct diagnosis is always really Lyme disease, which may be one step further than you would want to go.

It has helped me tremendously, but I still often deal with a good bit of pain, neurological stuff, and fatigue. Also, since taking LDN my platelets crashed to 13,000 (but later went back up) and I seem to deal with much more easy bruising with multiple and massive bruises. Remarkably, I have been able to give up pain meds since Naltrexone. That was unthinkable previously. I seem to think more clearly now and keep track of my life better. While I do still have neurological problems, they have lessoned since LDN overall. The one symptom that worsened since LDN is fasciculations. I have had them throughout the day since LDN. This has not abated in the 6+ months I have taken it.My question is this: are you sure that Naltrexone has no use in Lyme's disease? My Dr. now thinks that is what I have. I have been tested and retested for MS and they are confident that I do not have it. Lyme is the only thing now that remotely makes sense. But I am curious as to how Naltrexone could help me because I have read that it has no use in Lyme's. If Naltrexone strenghten's the immune system, wouldn't that help my immune system fight Lyme's? Or, do you think the fact that Naltrexone has helped me is indicative that I am not dealing with Lyme's at all. I have been frustrated since my symptoms are quite varied and don't seem to 100% fall into 1 category. Any thoughts or guesses are appreciated.
