Has anyone tried sea salt and vit C to get rid of lyme?

 

Hello All!

I feel crazy even asking this question.  I am wanting to know if anyone has tried sea salt and Vit C to help kill the lyme? 

I was reading about a famous person who had Lyme.  After watching the video there were several comments.  One was saying to try sea salt and vit c?

If someone has tried this and it helped at all please let me know.  Whether you tried it and had a good or bad experience I would still like to know.   

Thanks for any help you all can give.

Hi-Mama

Ok thanks for the help.....It does make since that salt could kill the things but I can see where it could be really bad for the body. 

I hope to hear more thoughts and or experiences from some of you. 

Thanks so much!

Thanks SickTooLong,
Yes I would most assuredly do so. It is not for me it is for my daughter and I would not want anything to happen to her. I have heart disease so I for sure could never do anything of the sort.

I am just so worried about her. She was crying again today because of the pain. Not able to do anything. She is 23 years old and I am getting desperate. She has been sick for 2 and half years.

I'm just reaching out and if anyone has anything to share that is great! Good or not so good. I need your input.

Thanks so very much!
Thanks too to the moderators!
I don't know how you guys are able to give so much of your time.
May God bless You!

Hi Traveler,

We have discussed it. The problem is that her back is the worse of her pain eventhough there are days its everything. The skin on her back is very sensitive to touch. Did you have that problem too? I apply topical meds to her back several times a day just cause she says the hot is better than the pain. But when I do she can barely hold still for me to do it. Did you have tremendous pain in your back also? You may have told me but I don't remember. She has muscle pain and nerve pain just as you describe and bone pain 2.

We tried chiropractic but she could not bare it. She would try this if she thought it would help. At this point she would try anything. I am going to check out the link you sent me too. She is on different antibiotics and seeing a more caring llmd now. We have been seeing him for about 4 months.

Let me know if you had issues with your skin being sensitive too. It would just help knowing that this is a symptom of this horrible disease. I am going to talk to her about acuputure. I don't know if you are allowed to tell where to go get the acuputure but if you could I would appreciate it. I would like to use a doc that beleieves in Lyme dis. I live in Ms. We are able to travel if need be for sure.

Also can you take the chinese/western herbs along with antibiotics? We are desperate here. I wish she was able to talk with you guys. I am looking forward to help here from you all.

Thanks so much!

Hi Hi-mama! LOL I'm getting a tickle at being able to say that!!! LOL!

Okay, back to being a little more serious!! Yes, I have had a lot of back pain - but not so much now that I'm in treatment. Oh, yes the skin sensitivity! That really is the pits! I couldn't hardly wear clothes sometimes! What I did for the skin sensitivity is I started dry skin brushing - only I used a wet washcloth at first and I could only stand to do this every few days. I was able to work up to using a wet washcloth every day, so I advanced to a dry washcloth. Then to a very soft body brush. Here is the type of brush you are looking for, although you can get it much cheaper at Walmart or other discount store: www.vitasprings.com/skin-brush-bernard-jensen.html. Tell your daughter to be patient - this may take a while depending on just how sensitive her skin has become, but to stick with it, as it made a huge difference for me.

Is your daughter detoxing? This should help her reduce some of the severity of her symptoms. Just be careful not to rush into it too quickly, as this can bring on more symptoms, or make the symptoms that she is having worse. If you need info on what to do and how to do it, we have a very informative post in the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the forum - it's the third post down. I would suggest that if she hasn't been detoxing, she start with the foot soak of epsom salts and peroxide.

I can't tell you what acupuncture doc to see, but if you would like to email me (click the little envelope under my name here), I could share some info and some acupuncture sites so that you are better informed when you start looking into seeing an Acupuncture Doc, like what kinds of schooling and qualifications you will want to verify.

Yes, a person can use both abx and herbs. There are actually more and more LLMD's that are using herbs along with the abx treatments. Although, abx are not always necessary. I am having some great results with just herbs, a couple of Homeopathic meds, and acupuncture. It mostly depends on your preferences, and what doc you see.

Tell your daughter to hang in there! There really is hope! Maybe one day soon, she will feel up to reading posts on her own, then one day maybe she will feel up to posting - once she starts to find some relief.

And, we can help you to get her to that point with all of our suggestions and hints! You are doing a great job!!!

Hi Traveler

Ha you are too funny! I am glad you like my Hi-Mama name!

Yes she is detoxing daily. However she is doing epsom salt and peroxide baths. She puts a large bottle of peroxide with a half a bag of epsom salt. She says it is the only thing that helps her pain. We got these ideas from you guys! So thanks so much for that! Could she be doing it too much if it seems to make her feel better? I know 2 much of a good thing can sometimes be a bad thing. :) Your thoughts are much appreciated. She hasn't tried the foot bath yet. But we will give that a try too! She just started the dry-brushing. (feet only) However she has not tried doing it to her back, even with a cloth. I will talk with her about it though.

We tried getting off the antibiotics a year ago. We thought she was in remission. She went back to work part time and was looking forward to going back to school. During this time her dog was killed 2. So we think a combination of both no antibiotics and this death caused her to backtrack bigtime. The disease came back even worse than it was originally.

I am for sure excited about getting some herbs that may can help along with acupuncture.

Thanks so much Traveler! You are an Angel!

Hi-Mama,

Don't worry, normal supplement levels are fine.

The vitC and salt protocol calls for much higher levels of vitC

Don't worry about taking too many de-tox baths. I've been known to take several in a day when things weren't going too well.

I do hope you can get some pain relief for your daughter -- the healing goes so much better when the patient is not dealing with pain. Some people find that SAM-e can also help with pain as well as lifting the mood.

I just did a brief review of literature on Vit C and antibiotics and found several articles that say that 10g of Vit C a day can make the antibiotic MORE effective.

The higher amount that people use for purging/detoxing wouldn't be good, however.

YES YES YES YES, I AM PROOF THAT THE SALT /C WORKS.
I HAD LYME FOR 8 YEARS! I GAVE UP ON DOCTORS AND HIT THE WEB. I FOUND Lymephotos.com, I FOLLOWED THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, I HERXED THAT NIGHT, JUST THREW UP. THE FOLLOWING 5 WEEKS I WAS TIRED AND DID NOT FEEL WELL BUT WITH LYME DO WE EVER FEEL WELL, NO! WEEK SIX I AM A NEW PERSON, I AM HEALED, I CAN BREATH! I EMPLORE ALL OF YOU TO DO IT! I DID USE THE CHEWABLE C AND THE SALT TABS 1GRAM EACH.. PLEASE DO IT, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOOSE! I AM FREE, NO LONGER TRAPPED IN A LYME RIDDLED BODY... 3 GRAMS OF SALT AND 3000 MLG OF C, ONCE EVERY 4 HOURS, 4 TIMES AND YOUR DONE! THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK 1 AND 1 3 TIMES A DAY, JUST IN CASE... TODAY IS ONLY WEEK 7 FROM THE DAY I DID IT AND EVERY DAY I WAKE BETTER THEN THE NEXT.... I ALMOST TOOK IVERMECTIN HORSE PASTE UNTIL I FOUND THIS, I KEPT IT FOR BACK UP JUST IN CASE, BUT I DON'T NEED IT! PLEASE TREAT YOURSELF TO THIS EASY SALT/C REMEDY.. FEEL. FREE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS.... I'M. PROOF IT WORKED FOR ME...

Bump this sounds interesting

Did it hurt your kidneys limelife101?

Well, there's no doubt that high salt consumption is bad for a person's health.

I actually looked into this when the abx failed me, but choose to find out where and why it was 'discovered' and didn't like what I read.

I DO use high dose vitamin C, because it has all kinds of benefits, but I choose to leave the high salt alone, I have enough health issues - I don't want to add in more.

DO YOUR RESEARCH before starting this. I've been involved in the "Lyme world" for 10 years and there are very few that report that this actually works. Herbs have a much, much higher percentage of success in helping people. And many do it without a LLMD. We DO have choices.
