i have had some benefits from buhners bartonella herbs - but dosages were rather high - and benefits useful - but not enough for me to completely recover i am also taking the buhner extended protocol...
i think this is the issue Forest we all have suffered this symptom to some degree or from time to time but endlessly going around and around on the decision over abx is serving no purpose - other...
the math should be pretty straightforward you need to know how much total b-vitamin you start with and how much total liposomal mixture you make in the end then the dose of liposomal b vitamin with...
its very hard for members here to give specific advice one way or another on this Forest as we are all so different and everyone reacts so differently to antibiotics some have little or no reaction...

i have recently spent a day in ER the doctors there are really only concerned with making sure they follow a set of pre-determined steps to do what they can to try and ensure you are going to die...
the symptoms of TBRF can be highly variable there is a great deal of overlaps between lyme symptoms and TBRF symptoms when the two are present together the symptom pattern may be even less...
i just wanted to say that i believe its healthy to retain a certain amount of scepticism but not to the point where one doubts everything equally and gets stuck in a state of inaction - rolling the...
i think some of the newer MRI scans and such can measure the altered chemistry it causes Astro and i think they can detect inflammatory markers in the CSF if they were to do those but i dont think...
as we have discussed before i suspect the reason we see disturbances in the gut microbiome with all of these vector born illnesses is that they all drive inflammation in the gut via various...

i was just reacting to the article itself Rainy. if i am not mistaken - there have been multiple efforts to try to stimulate borrelia to produce antimicrobial resistance in the past - and to my...
looks like a clear positive result for lyme from Armin also the low CD57+ cell count is associated with lyme disease ( other things can cause it also ) but in the context of positive blood tests for...
i only read the abstract Rainy - but its not a surprising finding remember - true antimicrobial resistance is one thing - it results from genetic adaptation to antibiotics via the natural selection...

Low Dose Naltrexone – LDN – and Lyme / Bart I have been using it to modulate my immune system as part of my overall treatment for bart and lyme. What i wanted to pass on is that LDN is not a normal...
