Lyme Flare

Hi ,

It sounds like the abx have made you much better. How is the candida going? Did it flare? Are you on anti-fungals?

Hi Grace,

The antibiotics made me partly better, but now I am worse.
HOWEVER had I not gone on them I would be dead, so know this.

I am not sure if this is because I stopped them twice, 1st time for 2 1/2 months, second time for 6-7 months. Both times I stopped them, I relapsed worse. NOT sure if this is because I have babesia though.
I wanted both times to treat lyme alternatively, with natural supps, this did not work for me.

I am treating babesia now and NEVER had such problems like now. I am not sure if I am herxing, or if I am getting worse. I am to supposed to take 7 pills a day of this combo,
one is a powerful antibiotic called clindamycin, the other a antimalarial called quinine.
My LLMD said this combo was very veyr strong, and he does not say this unless it is strong, so now
I can see that this is strong, one just does not know how strong until the go on them. I hope it is that they are strong, not me reacting to them.

I think I can only handle 1 1/2 of both together. My breathing is severe, right now, not sure if reacting to quinine or getting worse,
so will have to watch how I do.
NOt just breathing, when I moved this Am I thought I was going to die, the heart racing just so scary.

Some say that you can relapse if you have an untreated coinfection, and if lyme is not under control.

I am on garlic now, but will get the nystatin later. Lots of homemade yogurt rotated and probiotics and good diet.

Hope this helps,

Jeannie, did you ever do any of the Garden of Life products?


Sheryl, I did the Primal Defense but then had to stop because I was reacting to it. I did it for a month, I had continual asthma.

I thought it was a healing crisis, but because of the shortness of breath for one month decided to stop it. I had it later tested at a ND with the vega machine and I was reacting to it. The ND told me that he had many patients on it, then later they were pulled off it, a good number because they were reacting to it. I dont know why that was.

I have heard others really have success with it though.

Werent you on the RM10?

I think for some over stimulation is not good, for me that was the case.
I cannot take any mushrooms now, makes me sick.

I may see a ND again along with the continuing to see the LLMD, just not sure if natural products will do anything for me now.

Sometimes for me, best it less, I know that is the case now.

Some do very well with supps, I am not one of those.

Some of us that react I feel it is best to work with a ND to get tested for products. i am still using my pendulum but it is not going that well. I have negative energy right now and the pendulum just does not work well with me unless I am really feeling good positive.

I am still working with it, trying to be able to clear myself of negativity, so hope it works.

I am in such a negative frame of mind lately from all the falls I have had, I am trying to get to being positive again, it is hard.
I am very down now and cannot take any antidepressents, even st Johns wort, so it is tough.

I am thinking to getting some bach flower remedies made up for me right now, pick the ones that suit me, the negative frame of mind, then get then made up and take them.

I have used them before and have always had astounding results, saved my mind a year ago when I was lying in bed for days with severe depression unable to take any antidepressant because I was reacting to everything.

For me, they are life savers and simply amazing. They bring me back to life.

Wow Jeannie!

Have you tried theanine if you can't take st johnswort? I love rescue remedy. Lemon balm tea is also quite relaxing, not really antidepressant. How could you not be depressed. Bach flower Mustard is good for that, as well as just eating a spoon of mustard.

Hang in there Jeannie.
