Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Trudy, I find that working with an acupuncturist helps to keep me pain free. In addition, I've eliminated all processed foods from my diet along with meats/poultry with growth hormones, etc., and gone mostly organic. It does make a difference in how I feel and it's not as expensive as I thought. You actually eat less when you're consuming more greens and raw fruits and vegetables. I also use a whey protein and green drink in the mornings that helps with my energy levels and take Dr. B's supplements from his treatment protocol. They help a lot! And I take a cleansing drink make up of of organic unsweetened cranberry concentrate, organic lemon juice, and organic apple cider mixed with water that helps keep my system cleaned out. I can share the formula, if you like. And I walk. Exercise, no matter how lousy I feel, helps. And I rest without complaint now, when I need to rest. Meditation and Reiki help me, as well. Worry and stress only exacerbate symptoms for me. I hope others will add to these basics.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I am using the salt and vitamin C regimen along with andrographis and resveratrol and doxycycline. There are lots of herbals out there you can try. Different ones keep popping up as I search the web. The andrographis regimen is from the book, Healing Lyme by Buhner. > > I was trying to reach an herbal Dr to help with the Lyme symptoms but he is not taking patients now. > Does anyone have suggestions for Lyme?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 You can struggle on your own, or you can read the Healing Lyme book by Harrod Buhner. He is a Master Herbalist who has by far the best book out there on healing Lyme Disease, in my opinion. I have been on his protocols for over two and a half years now and it has worked wonders in my life. I have had chronic Lyme since 1999 and was near death, literally, by 2005, even after taking Cipro for 24 days back in 2000, and proclaimed " cured " by my Duck. NOT! I slowly relapsed so that by 2005 I could hardly function anymore. NOW I am at least 90% and working hard everyday. Oh, yes, and I am 67 years old. His herb recommendations has done wonders not only with the Lyme arthritis, but also the regular arthritis I have had for 20 years or more. It is genetic. I take more than Buhner's recommended " core " protocol though. Hope this helps. Jim ### > > Hi Trudy, > > I find that working with an acupuncturist helps to keep me pain free.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thank you all for your suggestions! I will look into them and see what is best for me and my family! Take care, Trudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Just exactly that Liz. The core protocol consists of Andrographis, Cat's Claw, Resveratrol, Sarsaparilla and possibly Astragalus. I also take other herbs recommended by Buhner, such as: Nettle Leaf, Devil's Claw, Red Root tincture, Periwinkle, C-Salts, Stephania Root. I also take zinc, Saw Palmetto, Huperzine-A, Milk THistle and vitamins A and E. And sometimes a multi-vitamin because I get them free. I have taken other herbs from time to time, but not right now.
