Hi Georgia, This will not eliminate Lyme or its co-ifections, but have you tried cutting nightshades out of your diet? Due to their solanine content, they act like neurotoxins on the body and often...
I have had all the symptoms you mentioned simultaneously. I have a mitral valve prolapse and a partial right bundle branch block, but that is not considered to be serious. I am certain Lyme or...
Yazzer, Samento = TAO-free cat's claw Diaba, I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the burning symtoms from the infra-red sauna may have a connection to having heavy metals in the body. I say this...
Hopefully your doc can give you 2-3 weeks of doxy as a preventative....
That's great! Glad you are improving!...

Thanks for posting this, Springsjean! I would like to add two items: the phosphoric acid in sodas is increasingly being replaced with citric acid going forward, and most people who grew up on a...

Several people I know who have serious heavy metal toxicity issues get lots of burning feelings on their skin. Not sure if that applies to you. The fingernails are related to either mineral...
I dropped 30 lbs. in two months when I was taken off a high-fat raw food diet and placed on a more conventional diet by a doctor and dietician. The only way I have been able to gain weight is by...
Borderlyme, That info came from a nutritionist I was seeing a few years ago....
Yes, thank-you, moderators!...
Random, It sounds like your initial Lyme infection was in remission due to good treatment, and the car crash initiated a cytokeine chain-reaction that triggered inflammation in your body, which...
Often, the crawling feeling is due to mycelium (or another) fungus from antibiotics. The fugus is sort of mutated, and likes to hang out under the skin. Due to our (often) sludgy blood, Lyme patients...
