Hi everyone, just wanted to share this with you all

For those of you that don't know, my rheum was treating my lyme on the recommendations of my LLMD in the US (I'm in Canada where there is one LLMD and no dr's believe in lyme up here)

 
My rheum never really believed in lyme and only believes in my lupus, but went along with my dx from the LLMD and treatment  b/c he tried to keep an opened mind. But I was never able to fully convince him I had/have lyme.

He stopped treating me for lyme about a yr ago.

Well last week I went to see him, and the first thing he says was "Jen, I was thinking about you all morning b/c I had a patient come in and she was a mess. Worse than you were when you came to see me. I think, no I believe she has lyme and I need your help"

Well how bout them apples?! 

He's going to have his patient contact me and he's going to need my help getting info. He never saved any of the emails I sent him with lyme info and treatment.

Dr's are starting to believe. My dr sees me getting well and is also starting to believe in natural healing.

This is awesome! Keep at them dr's folks

Hi Jen,
That's great news! I've heard that Canada has even a worse case of Lyme Denial than the US does. Hopefully he will tell 2 friends (doctors) and they will tell 2 friends....
2001 symptoms started:

Tingling in fingers and toes both sides, not tested at that time for LD

2007 Summer tested pos. WB, diagnosed with LD, tested neg for co-infections thru Igenex

Abx - Doxy 100mg 2x/day for 3 weeks (before diagnosis)

Amoxicillin 1gm 2x/day for 1 month

Amoxicillin 1gm 3x/day with Probenecid 500mg 2x/day  5 months 

Currently on Dr. Zhang's protocol

Hi Peacesoul,

Yes, that's fantastic news!  I like those apples, LOL!  Keep up the good work and trust me, I keep spreading the word..  You wouldn't believe how many ignorant doctors are here on Long Island, I met many of them and ended up giving them an education (at least to the open-minded M.D.'s)....

Hugs,

Denise

My local doctor said this to me, "If I ever get a patient bitten by a tick, you will be the first person I consult".  That is because I knew more about the disease than he did as he would not even read Dr. B's protocol.  Finally he read it and "some other stuff" and then began to say that I was now cured of lyme but suffering from nerve damage!  Strange, nerve damage that cycles every 28 days.  That is when I decided to drive 500 miles to see an LLMD.  I don't want to be the one to educate the doctors as they always hand ME the bill - if it was free of charge, I might consider wasting my time in hopes of helping someone else but I know now it isn't going to help me.  I want to see someone that knows exactly how to treat me and get me well.

Hey all, thanks for the replies.

Alfers, I'm doing ok. Been on some awesome herbs and feeling better. I'm going back to work next week. I'm still not 100%, but am working hard on getting there

Denise: I have NO DOUBT you educate dr's. You're a true asset to this illness. It's people like you that are not afraid to fight. Much respect to you my friend

Neff: we should charge these dr's consult fees, no?...hahha

We're slowly getting there.

Ok, well these herbs can only be purchased in Canada (montreal) I believe.

This is the company
http://www.robertetfils.com/home.php?sid=user&pid=language&lid=1

and this is the product (Formula 11) They specify it as a suppository, but it's a oral gel cap. They recommmend to take 8 a day for only 15 days. but i take just one and have been on them for over 6 weeks now.

http://www.robertetfils.com/home.php?sid=catalogue&pid=product&pdid=193

Since I've been taking these, I never felt so strong. My anxiety is at an all time low. My yeast is down. My head is MUCH clearer.

You can try to contact the company to ask where else they sell these. They are $35 a box here.

And it was a girl who also has lyme who bought me my first box a yr ago and I never took them. I finally got around to it and I'm glad I did
