Self Treatment?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I took abx for two-and-a-half years and then decided that I had had enough

and wanted to try the herbal approach. I'm working with an LLMD who says he

had Lyme and healed himself. He also has patients he says have gotten well

on the protocol he prescribes according to blood and urine tests. I like him

a lot, but find that taking his protocol is very challenging. It's cost me

hundreds of dollars to buy the herbs and supplements!

I feel good enough to take a stab at working, even though I haven't fully

done every aspect of the protocol. That's a good sign-or is it only

temporary? I just don't know.

Anyway, I was hoping to get some comments from all of you about

self-treatment using Buhner's book recommendations vs. working with an LLMD

who uses some of Buhner's protocol.

Also, here is the challenge I've been having with taking the supplements and

herbs fully. When I wake up I have one thing to take on an empty stomach,

and then I have to wait 45 minutes. Then I take something else on an empty

stomach and have to wait another half hour. Then I have more things to take

on an empty stomach and wait another 15 minutes. After breakfast, I have a

handful of supplements. After lunch, I have another handful of supplements.

In the afternoon, I'm supposed to take more things on an empty stomach, then

something else a half hour before dinner. Then stuff after dinner, etc. I'm

not that regimented of a person, so I often miss the afternoon empty stomach

doses (which means I'm missing the second doses of some critical things)-the

time flies by before I even notice. Someone commented to me that people with

" Lyme brain " have a hard time sticking to rigid schedules like this. I think

it's just me. So please give feedback or tips to being more regular.

Thanks everyone for reading through all this!
