Re: Re:if abxs not effective

For those who cannot tolerate antibiotics or who failed to maintain

improvements, there is a well respected and researched herbal protocol by

Buhner. He wrote a book called " Healing Lyme. " He's well known and

respected among the ILADs MDs. I've started using the protocol since I did not

get sustained benefits from a year of ABXs (including 4 month IV). My weight

went way down on antibiotics and I couldn't stay awake. I thought I would at

least get a remission--no such luck. I have no clinical or lab evidence of

co-infections.

There's a group for Buhner, for those interested. He deals with Lyme &

co-infections in the book. It's easy to understand and follow.
