Vitamins vs diagnoses questions

	I have not yet had a blood test. (see my post in Newbie area). For many years, I have taken pretty large vitamin supplements: A large daily multi w/ minerals, E, MEGADOSES of C & Betacarotene, garlic (supposed to be natural antibiotic), amino acid, B complex. I take the C, E, &betacarotine doses at least 3X day, and the garlic 2X/ day. Recently I have added fish oil, 1X/day. I understand that antibiotic use before a blood test can interfere w/ the results. Does anyone have any idea if vitamins would interfere? Thanks for any info anyone can provide! (ps, obviously my vitamins are not helping now! Except that I never get a cold and hardly ever the real flu!) Back to Top

	Hi, about 1 1/2 years ago I was taking Cat's Claw for Tendinitis (I hadn't been diagnosed with LD yet). When I had my first CD-57 it was 76 (Cat's Claw is suppose to raise your CD-57). I just had another CD-57 done after treatment and it was 34. I think the Cat's Claw was responsible for raising my CD-57 back then. KO 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 Back to Top
