Derek, I was extremely sensitive to most things. I also had very bad mold and chemical sensitivities that skyrocketed when I started detox and treatment. I also had GI symptoms - had recalcitrant...
Yes. But start low and go slow in ramping up doses. I learned from reading others’ experiences to NEVER start with Buhner’s recommended doses, LOL!!! Like you, I was extremely sensitive. I was also...
Black walnut and Cryptolepis are effective anti-parasitics. What symptoms did they bring out that you believe is a herx?...
I was initially diagnosed with CIRS (mold) by a Functional MD. She tested me for numerous infections - CMV, EBV, Parvovirus-19, Chlamydia pneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumonia. I had very high (way out of...
Derek, Herbs work best in synergy with other herbs. That’s how Buhner developed his protocols. I don’t recommend trying to treat with a single herb, but I do recommend only adding one antimicrobial...
Mark, Glad to hear you’re doing well and at the end of treatment. Have you done repeat testing of the minerals at different points since starting treatment? If so, which tests did you do and how have...
I opened the link that I posted for the Plum Flower Cordyceps and read the information. I copied and pasted it below so people will actually have the information if they care to read it. This is the...
There is. It’s called Mimosa pudica seed. I used it extensively, and it works very well. I could literally feel it ripping this stuff off the walls of my intestines and saw the red spots of blood in...
This is the vat grown powder that Buhner recommended. https://1stchineseherbs.com/cordyceps-mushrooms-powder-100gm-bottle-plum-flower/#description 1st Chinese does have some other Cordyceps listed,...
The internet censorship of health information actually began in 2019 or earlier, in preparation. CIRS blogger Biotoxin Journey wrote about it in 2019 after discovering his site was being censored....
Dude, Thank you for this. It took me a while to figure out what that was. I use my phone, but I kept looking through the settings and stumbled on something that said cache, and it worked! Girlie...
Derek, Have you tried treating MCAS with an antihistamine like Zyrtec? I frequently get bladder and UTI symptoms without evidence of infection. I have found that taking 1/4-1/2 tablet of Zyrtec daily...
What about mold? Are you (or were you) living or working in a moldy or water damaged building? Mold and Candida/yeast and bartonella symptoms, in particular, can be very similar. The fact that you...
Chinese skullcap root tincture and kudzu root tincture. I always got mine from Woodland Essence. Woodland Essence lists the skullcap as BAIKAL SKULLCAP (CHINESE SKULLCAP) EXTRACT. Botanical name:...
Eyes and bladder could be from bartonella. Did you test for coinfections? Ever have unexplained scratches, lines, or stretch marks appear on your body? Sore soles on feet?...
Star, Make sure of the concentration of the powder. I initially tried Cordyceps powder, but I think it was a highly concentrated or something. I would go by the directions on the product rather than...
It’s after 11 pm. I was outside and suddenly picked up the incredible aroma of hot COFFEE . I was sniffing the air. It smells so good. Funny thing is, I have never been much of a hot coffee drinker....
I had scalp sensitivity at various times. That was one of my initial neuro symptoms. I could actually draw a line from the top of one ear over my head to the top of my other ear. From that invisible...
That looks awesome!!! I want that! The biofilm coming off looks like the stuff ropeworm is made of....
CORRECTION: I can get to the Healingwell website on Brave, but when I click the link for the Lyme Disease fotum, I get this: Server Error 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are...
I have had issues and continue to. I had the forum bookmarked as a favorite on Brave and DuckDuckGo. I can access it now on DuckDuckGo, but even if I try to use the search on Brave and access it via...
Years ago, I remember seeing this on an episode of one of those medical mystery shows on TV. The lady looked about 50 and suddenly began having episodes of anaphylaxis and ending up in the ER nearly...
One other thing . . . . If a person with long COVID is experiencing primarily chronic fatigue or exercise intolerance, low energy, reduced stamina, muscle fatigue, then Alinia could potentially help....
I recently heard Dr McCullough speak of randomized trials he had been working on using nattokinase and bromelain. He didn’t mention lumbrokinase, but it is supposed to be the strongest proteolytic...
I used Vitex briefly - 2-4 weeks- until I started getting migraines. I think I was having constant breast pain when I started it. The breast pain stopped, but then I got migraines. Stop Vitex and...
Okay, you have a lot of stuff going on here. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but from what you posted, you have had multiple water damage incidents in this house. How much mold growth has...
I get burning in feet and numbness and in feet going up my legs when I’m being exposed to particularly bad mold. I also had burning in tops of feet and widespread numbness with MCAS reactions due to...
Certain antibiotics carry high risk for C-difficile. The longer you’re on antibiotics, the higher the risk. If you are being treated by a doctor for Lyme/co with antibiotics, please notify your...
I had tremors from mold illness. Sounds like you have toxin overload....
Derek, Do you mind describing your leg and bone pain? Is it an aching pain that feels like it’s in the bone? Does it happen at night when you’re in bed or asleep?...
It’s always wise to start low and slow with an antimicrobial herbal regimen and to start with one herb at a time. Even at tiny doses, I always tended to get into a herx avalanche around the 3 week...
I agree with Girlie....
Hello! I just wanted to make a comment regarding your symptoms. In addition to the coinfection, bartonella, that Garzie mentioned, you also have a lot of symptoms suggestive of babesia (head...
“IGL test in Germany show very high levels of Fusarium mold” I’ve never heard of this test. How was the test done, and what was it testing? Doesn’t sound like a mycotoxin test, as Fusarium is a mold...
I just had these labs done in June. I have been living in my car since April 2021, so I was quite surprised by these results. My June results: C4a - 4,313.5 (was 964.7 in Aug 20) My c4a has never...
From surviving mold website (Shoemaker): C4a Normal Range: 0-2830 ng/ml C4a has become the inflammatory marker of greatest significance looking at innate immune responses in those with exposure to...
Yes. I would. You need to know the condition of your heart and may need to be monitored for changes. Be sure they do an echocardiogram. Bartonella, according to Buhner’s book, affects the entire...
Can you describe what your headaches are like?...
I had a positive result for Lyme and Ehrlichia from DNA Connexions. I had the NPS annotation on my results, which fit my scenario as I had been sick for many years. This was the only positive test I...
Berberine can kill stuff in the gut. I believe it is often used in anti-parasitic and anti-fungal formulas. Malaise, headaches, and feeling sick can be from hitting something in the gut. Did you...
Thanks for the feedback. After I posted this, I searched and found I had already posted this before. In my old post I figured out it was MCAS, so I have taken a reduced dose of Zyrtec the past 3...
Never been a morning person. I remember years ago someone said Lyme people should be in bed by 10 pm and should not get up before 7 am. I don’t know if that was part of the old Burrascano guidelines...
About a month ago, I did something really stupid. I tried to lift up the front end of the washing machine to vacuum underneath it. I injured my lower back as a result. I felt it a couple days later....
This is something I have dealt with off/on for years now, especially felt in feet and hands. It’s often not easy for others to recognize in me and sometimes I don’t recognize it myself until I see...
Girlie, Hope you and hubby enjoy your staycation. Sounds like it will be a special time. It’s really good to hear that life is good for you now....
Bb, Hey! Just wanted to let you know I saw your post on the RIP Stephen Buhner thread. Glad to hear you are ok. Blessings!...
I’m sorry, girlie. I am in the same shoes as your husband with my mother. She has serious memory and cognitive issues. I have never been a patient person, but I have been absolutely horrible with my...
It will be super important for him to avoid moldy and water damaged buildings when he goes to college. I have heard that college dorms and campus buildings are often problematic places in terms of...
This topic actually came across a couple days ago when I saw the blood mobile parked in the grocery store parking lot. My first thought was I have never donated blood (I didn’t weigh enough). My 2nd...
I had pain in the upper right quad in various places. Some was gastritis. Some was organ pain. I was yet undiagnosed at the time. Had a hida scan. Gallbladder was okay I was told. Liver labs were...
