I am currently taking doxy 200 twice a day, Rocephin 2grams once a day, and biaxin twice a day.

7 days a week. I am wondering about other people's experiences with pulsing. I would

like to give my body a break but I don't want to back slide either. Too, the lyme likes to

hide and won't try to rear it's ugliness if I am constantly taking drugs.(my opinion)

Anybody have an opinion?


Plus maybe I should post this in a new thread but I also want an opinion on a few

good supplements to boost the immune system. Mine is on vacation somewhere.

I don't want to take a whole lot of things tho. So just want a few really good

ones.

Thanks

Dr Burrascano did and thinks it's what cured him. . . For me, B12 is good. Fresh fruits and veggies better. Exercise -whatever you can do.

I listed the vitamins that were suggested by my Dr. and honey it is a lot to take. But I feel so much better, so it has been worth it for me.
I have heard good things about pulsing too. I get treated for 4 days hard and then get three days off. To sort of recover if you will.
I was on 1,200 of doxy and it did not do a thing for me. Look into a combo of homepathic and abx for good results. It has worked for me. It is not easy, but I got results quickly.

I can't really tell you how to pulse with your treatment. But some people do fluconale between abx. Had your Dr. mentioned this to you? My Dr. in Germany was really into it. See what your Dr. says.

I am pulsing right now. It seems to be working, I'm on day 4 of my week "off" and I'm going down hill. I think Dr. Burruscano would go six months off and then WHAMO, he'd hit it with abxs... I think he did it 3 times. I'm going to try this as an ace in my back pocket. The first and only herx I had was after being off all meds. for 6 months... and then WHAMO hit it with the abxs and herxed like crazy. I even thought I was cured for a good 4-5 days.
