Any success stories

I got TWO ticks last year, one on front and one on back. Lots of deer and I have a cat. I can't take meds or antibiotics because I'm very sensitive and someone told me about an herbal alternative which I've been on and it has helped a lot. I've since met many people using the same stuff thru social groups and support forums etc. They are all having great success but some have had trouble with their doctors not dosing them correctly. Once they worked out the kinks tho it seems to be fine. Apparently illness has to do with imbalance and toxicity which has to all be addressed as well. It's like getting cancer. Just taking out a tumor isn't going to guarantee you live. You have to get the toxins out, balance your insides, change your diet, and sometimes even move away from a toxic house or neighborhood. But I think whatever it takes to stay alive and have quality of life. Right?! Don't be scared. Answers are easier to find now than ever thanks to the internet. But you have to wade through a lot of half truths and lies to find the gems. I like the herbs I'm on because they are made in the US, are stronger than anything else I found, and they seem to address all the issues like toxins and balance etc. My formulas I'm on are called A-L, A-Bab, and Detox 1, I sometimes take NT detox too for neurological issues. Good luck and don't give up. Answers are out there!!! Oh, I also bought 4 chickens to eat the ticks in the yard and now I have eggs! I'd say this is a classic example of making lemonade out of lemons.

Thanks for this post. I feel the same way sometimes…..a bit scared and hopeless. But, if anywhere this is the place where you will find hope and support.

I am in Canada and no one here even believes that this disease exists so I find it wonderful on this site to get information about treatments and positive stories.

Best Wishes

Tracy, please don't despair. It is great to hear first-hand of people who are doing well after being infected. Sometimes when we are very ill and have been under treatment for what seems like an eternity we begin to doubt ourselves and wonder if we will ever get well.

Something that is echoed here over and over again is that every person is different, and so people will react differently to different treatments. Something that worked for one person may not work the same for others.

If you have Lyme and other infections such as Bartonella, Babesia, mycoplasma, Epstein-Barr, Ehrlichia, or viral infections, then you will take longer to heal. Antibiotics for one bacteria will seldom work against other bacterias, so if you have multiple infections, then guess what? you are going to take longer to heal.

Another contributing factor to the illness is how healthy your immune system was at the time of the infection and how long you have had the infection.

So again, please don't give up if you are not getting better quickly. As long as you keep at it, the odds will be in your favor that you will eventually get better.

Probably the best thing you could do for your concerns right now would be to use our search function. Just put into the search box these words: Lyme, success stories.

I just did and you will find many, many success stories - including mine as well.

Healing from these infections isn't a walk in the park for most of us, but each of us can heal!!Hang in there!! We are here to help you with tips and things that we did to help our healing and for a shoulder to lean on when you need it.
