Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Hello.. Anyone live near the Orlando, Daytona Beach, ville or St. Augustine area of FLorida ? If so, has anyone used a Naturopath in that area? I am now seeing a nutritionist, but would rather see a Naturopath. Diane M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 I know of a person being cured of asthma by fasting under supervision.. but as I suspect that was allergy related and fasting took the allergens out of the body. It was a naturopath that told me my itching was vaccination overload on my liver. (I'd had rabies, hep and yellow fever amongst others in a short space of time) This was then cured in a few days by fasting. Gp and hospital just kept giving me stronger steroids and these did not work! But would not like to comment on the thyroid as this seems a different type of problem to me. The adrenals may kick in and work better if they are put under pressure as in fasting ... Personnally I think the nutri stuff works for me and would not go down that route for this but others may have a different view. Good luck whatever you decide Kim X -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hi we've used Dr Nicola McFazden (a medically trained naturopath, so she can prescribe abx). We've found her very very good. She uses abx, herbs, supplements, drops etc. She has an office in San Diego and Connecticut (she's just setting up the office there, I think she'll be doing consults there very soon, but she may have already started) & she does phone consults (she also does a visiting clinic in Australia once or twice a year). She has treated all my family for Lyme & we are really happy with her, she's give us some amazing results. She has a chapter in the book " Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment: 13 Lyme-Literate Health Care Practitioners Share Their Healing Strategies " (which is a really good resource by the way - http://www.amazon.com/Insights-Into-Lyme-Disease-Treatment/dp/0982513801 She goes to all the conferences and is very up to date with the latest lyme disease research (which I like). Her website is here - http://www.drnicola.com/ She treats every person differently, doesn't use a one protocol fixes all (all 4 of us in our house were treated differently, with good success). Hope this helps Cheers Nikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 le she's treated my two daughters, my husband & myself. I got bitten by a tick in Japan in 1987 & got Lyme Disease, gave it to my husband (that was fun to explain to my grandmother about how he got it from me), and then I gave it to my two girls before they were born. They are 15 now (they are twins). One has mild LD, one has it severely (which makes them very interesting research material apparently). We are from Australia & I didn't know I had LD until the girls were 11 (the Dr's thought I had ALS). The daughter with severe LD has been sick all her life but the Dr's could never work out why - in 2009 she rapidly deteriorated over 6 months and is now in a wheelchair and can't use her arms properly either, and often has trouble swallowing, and is in constant pain. Dr Nicola was able to diagnose the girls & my husband (it is hard to get your blood to the IgenX lab from Australia, so we waited until we got to the US, knowing it would be easier). Having said all that Dr Nicola has helped myself, my other daughter & my husband a lot, and my sicker daughter is starting to turn around (we are no longer worried that she is going to die). It will be a long slow recovery for her. We like Dr Nicola - she was the first Dr/Naturopath that I went to who knew more about LD than I did. She is very good with both my girls, who don't like the other Dr's who are treating them. We found that because we don't have insurance she is actually much much cheaper than a LLMD who we also see (we are only in the US for 9 months, so we thought that we'd get as many treatment options as we could). I also like the fact that she can continue to treat us when we get back to Australia via telephone consultations (but that is probably something you don't have to worry about). I'm pretty sure that Dr Nicola works with kids, because she also specialises in Aspergers/Autism in kids, as well as Lyme Disease. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your son.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Though Nikki doesn't specify how she gave it to her husband, Lyme can be transmitted by sexual contact. There are different schools of thought, that I'm still trying to sort out. I've heard that some say you can't transmit if you are on antibiotics, others say that you can. There is a study or two that a condom will not protect against transmission because the bacteria is small enough to go through the teeny tiny " pores " of a condom. My understanding is that it is a fact that it can be transmitted sexually. Then there are studies both for and against the fact that it can / can't be transmitted while on antibiotics. Then there is the study that says a condom is no protection. That is as far as I've gotten in my research on it.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi the Dr believes that I gave it to him sexually (that was fun to explain to my grandmother!). It makes sense to us because his symptoms started about the time we got married. Apparently he is very unlucky because it is usually men giving it to women. The bacteria most closely related to the Lyme Disease bacteria (in shape,size, disease progression & length of treatment) is syphilis & since that is contracted sexually, it would make sense that Lyme Disease can also be contracted sexually. The IDSA says that it is not possible to get LD sexually, but then they also believe that you can't contract it in utero either & that Lyme disease is easy to treat & " cure " . Hope that helps Nikki > > > From: le Handy <kndplus2@...> > Subject: Re: [ ] Naturopath > > Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 8:25 PM > > > nikki, > thank you for your response and i believe and hope for continued healing for > you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Lyme Disease is passed sexually, congenitally and there is also research that has found borrelia spirochetes in breast milk, tears, urine, sweat, and semen. My question is.... Is it in saliva? If so that would mean that it could be passed by kissing and I don't think it's that easily transmitted. But I would like to know if there is research on it? Can you imagine the panic? Suzanne On Feb 17, 2010, at 11:18 AM, Nikki wrote: > Hi > > the Dr believes that I gave it to him sexually (that was fun to > explain to my grandmother!).
