I just wanted to post some good news. I know I haven't been on here long but I woke up this morning and felt better than I had in a
while. You all don't know me yet but I have been sick for very long time and just recently began to think it may be Lymes or
Just FYI- I have not been diagnosed yet.

I literally have been battling something for about 25yrs. That being said I have tried sooooooooo many things it gets depressing at times.

I have been using Samento and Banderol for about a month but I actually think it is Teasel that is making a difference. Not sure though
Have hope- I am not kidding when I say recently have almost given up hope! Is this how a real person feels? I will explain more if anyone is interested!

Welcome Jen2772! The first thing I'll suggest you do is start another thread with the subject "Looking for LLMD in _____" (your city and state). LLMD is a Lyme literate medical doctor. There are naturopaths who have the training too. They are trained to diagnose and treat Lyme disease. That will save you a lot of time, money and heartache in the long run if you go to one, because other doctors may treat you for other things you don't have, but have the symptoms of. Some don't believe there is long term Lyme.

I suggest you read through the "New to Lyme" thread at the top of the page to learn about Lyme disease and some things you can do on your own to assist your body in healing and much more.

Let us know how it goes for you. You're welcome to explain more if you want. There are some great people on this forum who are understanding and supportive, so if you do have Lyme, you came to a good place. I wish you the very best after being ill so long.

That Houttuynia you posted about can help boost your immune system too...

It is crazy how so many things seem to do nothing then bam you take something and wow it is doing something!! I could feel the infection coming back - hard to explain felt like whole body pulsing, shaking etc- scared me so I started taking everything I had to bring reduce the symptoms and I took like two half full droppers full of Teasel and Wow- knocked me off my rocker for two days. OOps- but it did reduce my infection (symptoms) and two days later after not taking any more I started to feel much better- went back to three drops a day since then. Only been a few days but really is nice to have some energy! I feel like a real human!!

Thanks for sharing the experience. Good to hear you're getting better...I might have to add that Teasel Root to my regimen and see what happens.

Congratulations, Jen!! I'm so glad that something has made a real difference for you! I responded in a bad way to most things until I found the set of herbs that I use for treating Lyme - so I can certainly understand.

Part of what makes this such a hard infection to treat is each of us requires things to be at least slightly different than anyone else's protocol.

Hang in there, detox like crazy and keep taking what works for you!!

I have noticed that sometimes it is so hard to know what is working for me because of all of the different things I take.

Sometimes you can know by what you are taking, and other times it's by an educated guess. You would have to go over each thing that you are taking to know what has helped - but is that really necessary? Feeling better is what we really want/need, so it really doesn't matter if you know exactly what helped what.

My Lyme treatment consists of a combination of 11 different herbs. Many on here want to know what herbs are most effective for Lyme and I can't answer on my personal experience - too many herbs are in my mix! What I do know is that this mix works very, very well for me! And that's what matters most.
