Hello

I have been ill for four years and have been told I have cfs/M.E. I went abroad for alot of tests and the doctor I met says that I probably have lyme. I will get from him in one month what kind of medicin I will take and than I have to get approval from the pharmaceutical institute if the medicins are not awailable in my country. It is small and dont hav all the medicin. Anyway what I would like to ask you is there something that I can do to prepare my body before I start the antibiotics. Like homopath remedies, saunas or something that can help.

Hi you can just take good care of yourself. You may want to invest in probiotics and take them before and during the course of antibiotics. Drink a lot of water. My dr. recommends taking the abx with food and some type of fiber. So you can get metamucil or some fiber to add to your diet. You may want to read dr. burrascano's guidelines esp diet. He does recommend changing some aspects of your diet and life. Good luck to you.

Hi Irishuld,

Welcome to the forum!

If you haven't yet, please read the 'New to Lyme?... Start here!' thread on top of the Lyme page. It is packed with very useful information you will need while going through treatment.

You can prepare yourself by detoxing (see thread I mentionned above). Like Barngurl suggested, you can already start changing your diet: as less sugar as possible, no dairy and if possible no gluten (they increase inflammation). Try to eat as healthy as possible. Get enough rest too.

I hope you will be able to get all the medication you will need. Where are you located, if I may ask? Please don't feel forced to answer that question.

Good luck!!

Thank you for your replies. I live in Iceland. I already am on sugar free, glutein free and almost dairy free diet. I already take probiotics. I read some article from this doctor you mentioned and he talked about it would be good to take two types of probiotics from different labels. And that it is good to change regularly so you get all the bacteria. And also he said it would be good to take cholestyramine that dr. shoemacher reccomends if you have mold in your house. Have you been using that and is it helpful. I ran over the list and am going to do the brushing, epsom and hydrogen peroxide bath, sauna if I can, green smoothies with ginger, lemon and cayanne pepper.  Are the footh bath effective? And also I would like to know what kind of essential oil you are using. I have some already. And what is the difference between paragone and charcoal. I have used charcoal if I want to detox my body. Am I forgetting something that is important.

I tried a bio photon therapy that was done by a young man from Iceland. I only did it 2 or 3 times, so I can't say if it helped or not, but I met a couple of people that were helped by it. One was helped so much by it and so was her daughter, so now she's learning to do it. It's new to the US, so there aren't many experienced people yet.

It sounds like you've learned quite a bit already on what to do. Keep on learning and I hope you can see some progress in the near future. It's an illness that requires patience.

Hi there! Welcome to the forum! If you have access to an infrared sauna, aqua chi foot bath or even just buying an enema from a drug store to start cleaning stuff out would be helpful!

Also is there coconut water over there? Very hydrating and it has electrolytes.

Are you on any supplements like Vitamin C, Magnesium, D3, B12, etc. All are helpful!

Let us know! We are here for you.

Thank your for your reply. I fould some infrared sauna, I have read that many people use that. I am usually open to everything but does aqua chi foot bath work I am not sure what to belive about that. But I found one place that offers aqua chi foot bath. Do you suggest I begin this now.

Yes we have coconut water I have bought it a few times but never used it. Is in it just good to use it to do green smoothies.

I am taking all these supplements and more but I am not allowed to take vitamin d. I took a 1,25 Di-OH vitamin d test and I was too high. I have to read more about it but the doktor told me something about because it was so much inflammation in my body that it gathers the d vitamin in my body. I am probably not telling this right. I tried to google this but have not find anything about this.

Some people, for some reason that I'm not aware of, will end up with high levels of vitamin D due to these infections. For them, the Marshall protocol may be good to follow, as they concentrated on the issues of high vitamin D levels in the body and how to reduce them.
Maybe it would be helpful for you to investigate this further? Here is a very basic description of the protocol:

And here is a link to the Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base (as it's known): mpkb.org/home/diseases/lyme.

I have the same issue of having way too much vit D (1,25 di-OH), levels are very very high... I haven't found the exact explanation for that. My dr mumbled something about it all being related to inflammation. Found nothing on the internet...

Living in Iceland, one would think you would use up a lot of vit D...

I need to look up the essential oils - there's a whole bunch - I hope I can relocate where I left the information, I'll do my best :-)

Yes that is right we dont get alot vitamin d from the sun so I have been taking about 1000 each day for about two years. You really dont have to tell my about the essential oils it was just if someone knew about them. I will just ask someone else. I know a few how are using it more then me.

I am curiuos have you just resently found out that you had lyme, saw that you have been sick for 19 years and started treatment 2012. Did you never had any diagnosis and can I ask you how the treatment goes. Are you any better since you started.
