Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I currently take my son to the well-known lyme pediatrician (you all probably know who), and he's been on zithromax for lyme. Not seeing any major results, but he's 3 and can't really talk yet due to his condition. I have concerns about longterm use of abx, especially in such a young child, and was considering transfer factor and/or herbs as an alternative, but I don't know if the doctor will be on-board with this. Actually, if any of you see this doctor, can you tell me if he's open to this. I don't know why I am hesitant to ask him directly. Given his age, I'd really like to have the support of an LLMD, even for herbs. Also, are any of you treating young kids with the Buhner protocol? Thank you.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 For some reason I do remember seeing that even Mr buhner suggests that ABX should be given prior to starting his protocol , a lot of the herbs support the immune system but you do need to kill them off to get the full benefits of herbs , I have been a practicing herbalist for over 35 years and I too know that proper diet is number one as well to have herbs work more effectively . I also would like to add that you must be careful and avoid some of the other opportunist that are promoting salt or electricity to fix the buggers as well as selling high priced formulations , find a good health food store that you know the owners that can help you further as well , the big chain stores may not . salt can damage the kidneys electricity can damage DNA , a research grant has just been given out to study the effects of rife like approaches or shall I say electricity just consumer be aware . I make my own tinctures and have chronic lyme I am also lucky to have a llmd so I am following the ABX before I do anymore herbs , supplements are good but ask your doctor 1st as you are dealing with a child who's organs and brain are still developing . Just my opinion based on much research I am afraid that there are many jumping on the bandwagon with cure alls and are making a fortune taking advantage of folks that are desperate for relief and esp if its a child .
