I had/have babs microti and after disulfiram, all related symptoms have been gone 5+ months, except for night sweats. My protocol was a little different from Dr. L in the study...
Here are a couple of studies Buhner cites while discussing infection dynamics in his Lyme book: "Population Dynamics of Borrelia burgdorferi in Lyme Disease" From the abstract: "The chronic phase...
...and for them to be considered "infections" they need to be causing "disease" (technically, I think).. with fuzzy lines everywhere it's very difficult to talk about this stuff with the language...
I agree with your overall point- just killing spirochetes isn't going to be what gets you out of that hole. I think the more you read about borrelia though, the more you will think that they...
Well without knowing exactly why you liken covid-19 to endometriosis, I wonder.. if what your saying is true, shouldn't endometriosis be a high risk factor for having a severe case of covid-19? This...
I've never been comfortable with herxing as a diagnostic.. not sure exactly why. I just think there are too many complicating factors....
I agree with Garzie and there's no way I could have said it better :). I might also add that the majority of patients diagnosed and treated early tend not to have a long lasting illness.. I don't...
Just hoping to keep the temperature low. I only mentioned it for clarity as I do not think you are defining "post treatment Lyme" in exactly the same way. I'm not saying that the term shouldn't be...
I want to organize some thoughts together later when I have more time.. but just thought it would be important to note that the term "post treatment lyme" upsets people because of how it's defined by...
Girlie: I think dcd was speaking more generally and not about HealingWell...
I think many are sensitive to particular opinions because of their own experiences with mainstream medicine. This is not that though... This is an online forum with moderators (and members) who...
...
Open discussion is much more useful than calling for censorship. Can you point more specifically to what you are calling "disinformation" and explain why?...
Yes patricek, please give details on any "first hand knowledge". From the outside, descriptions of their treatments seem intentionally vague. There are some other giveaways on the website but I...
"Depressing for me because I always wanted to breastfeed him as long as he wanted to and I don't know what to do!" Must be very difficult for you both. I'm no expert (only a man whose wife breastfeed...
Sorry I don't have any experience with this.. I just looked a bit through 'Healing Lyme 2nd ed.' and did not see any mention of breastfeeding in the book (only pregnancy). You've probably already...
Edit: I wrote this before seeing the last post: It may seem tangential, but I don't see it as off-topic. It can inform how best to order treatment. We know antimicrobials can never 100% eradicate bb...
How is it possible for a doctor to determine this with biofeedback? Edit: Was it a "ACTH (Cosyntropin) Stimulation Test"? https://www.healthline.com/health/acth-cosyntropin-stimulation-test ...
Girlie: Garzie was making a comparison between "conventional" and "specialist" Lyme testing... ...
I wouldn't worry too much. Sounds like the test is not very reliable and, as Girlie said, a variety of "strains" may not be relevant to treatment. Was the test ordered by an LLMD?...
Drinking plenty of water is important.. not trying to belittle the problem with a simple solution or anything, just that it hadn't been mentioned...
My experience in PA lines up with the stats here: https://www.ticklab.org/statistics I've sent maybe 15 ticks to that lab in the past 2 years and about a third have come back positive for bb.. other...
Their primary concern is liability so I think "no" is often going to be a default answer. I'm not a doctor but since you already bought the product, maybe you could try mixing a little bit of the...
After thinking about it, I do remember having vivid dreams at times, with a realistic feel.. not nightmares though...
Sounds intense! It's not something I remember experiencing but I only went up to 250 mg daily. I would guess that it's a side effect and that it may go away staying at 375. You had been ok at 375...
Thanks for sharing dcd!...
Night sweats imo are when you wake up with soaked sheets (or very damp) head to toe. Separately I've also in the past had sudden wakenings, heart racing, unable to return to sleep.. definitely heard...
How do you map that article onto what we know about covid-19 (symptoms, disease markers, causes of death)? What makes you say "everything fits"?...
What symptoms or disease markers are you attempting to explain exactly... or in other words, what do you feel cannot be adequately explained without your hypothesis?...
"Finally, Willi Burgdorfer flatly states that Bb may enter through mucous membranes and even through intact skin ." ..huh?...
I don't know saraeli, I'm not familiar with any research of that nature. I am however, now familiar with the word "apocryphal" after looking it up :)...
I don't think spirochetes would not survive exposure to stomach acid...
I asked if CA inhibitors have been used in covid-19 patients because I genuinely did not know the answer. I just searched again, this time specifically for "acetazolamide and covid", and again I...
I have some beef hearts and beef liver in the freezer that I wasn't quite sure what to do with. I wonder if I can finely chop (don't have a grinder).. mix in with ground beef......
I understand that there is a difference in what you said on page 1, and what you are saying on page 2. Sars-cov-2 binds CD147 This is how I understood it before I wrote my last post. This is a...
Well you've been saying all along that “increased CA activity from wearing masks increases viral load” and that “it's all about viral load” so my essential questions have been around that. When you...
I think that if taking probiotics, yeah switching every so often would be good too.. I'm thinking about continually changing the environment though to give different microbes a better chance at...
What meds are you on/coming off? Any of them antifungals?...
I wonder how important eating seasonally (different sets of foods for months at a time) is to creating/maintaining diversity.. I heard Mary emphasize this in a podcast I listened to (thanks, Dude for...
Malaria is caused by a parasite similar to babesia that reproduces inside RBCs. Viruses cannot replicate inside RBCs as I mentioned in a previous post. I don't understand the pseudomonas (or TB)...
Are you now suggesting that the virus was genetically engineered/modified to bind CA? Please go on... I think it's much more likely that sars-cov-2 originated in nature. Just how many leaps of faith...
I haven't had the echo yet.. it was put on my schedule for a month after the nuclear stress test, but now the nuclear stress test results have prompted the cath procedure to come next. Pretty neat to...
Holy crap :) ..great post dcd! Is the FMT something you've discussed much w Mary R? Wondering if she has had other clients go down that path.. It's been really interesting following your story. I...
Thanks for your thoughts, stray dog, and for taking the time to respond I guess I was thinking valve problem --> stagnation --> clotting/blockage? I don't know this is kinda new territory for me. I...
Well that's what I'm asking about.. is it physically possible for CA to block entry in the first place, and why should we believe that it does? Seems to be the crux of your argument around the...
Agreed, but this is because sars-cov-2 is more airborne. This gives us no insight into whether CO2 might be playing a part in its transmission or pathology. Although they are both respiratory...
I’m hesitant but I have to ask... Why are you looking for similarities between sars-cov-2 and the bacteria that cause TB? So sars-cov-2 is binding ACE2 and CA is just in its way preventing it from...
I have the testing kit and was ready to start, but I've decided to put it on the back burner until I get the heart stuff figured out.. going to have a cardiac catheterization soon which should be...
Hello! I had a nuclear stress test done a few days ago, the results of which I don't have access to, but doc explained that there is some kind of blockage in the lower chamber of my heart. I...
Garzie: Yes it seems enteric would be the safer way to take the drug, though historically (for alcoholics) it has not been taken that way. Dr R. also seemed to think it would be more effective as it...
