Husband saw LLMD today

My husband saw Dr. R. today. Got in on a last minute cancellation.

He liked Dr. R. very much. My husband has Lyme, candida and leaky gut. Very little good bacteria, and lots of bad bacteria (some name for it). I have been telling him for over two years he has leaky gut and candida.

He was told to take:
1. Kid-goat colstrum - brand names appreciated
2. DSL-3 probiotic (from Rx)
3. Glutamine - brand names appreciated
4. Pectasol-C (I have that already)
5. GSE (have that already)

He will go on*:
1. Vancomycin
2. Flagyl
3. Diflucan
4. Lomatil (as/if needed)
*He isn't starting the abx until January due to the fun of the holiday season :)

Does this sound like a good protocol? Anything missing?

My son was given medical leave from school and will be home until January 3 for rest.

It keeps getting better and better around here

For any Airplane fans out t here "I picked the wrong week to give up drinking."

me 2 ...what to do? people around me get sick..ive noticed this. im not sure if this is quite normal.

Hey folks ..it maybe ttansmitted via saliva or mosquitos but my microscope friend says 9 of 10 have it ..and dna connexions labs confirmed the 94%of test are positive ....my mom dad sister gf and maybe daughter all have it ...we just need more id ducs to get it ..

dr k in co..says familys fo have it together but lets drop the shame and guilt and place blame on the lab that made a released this super syphalis that is disabling and dumbing america

Thanks guys,

CN and LD, don't worry they may not have it. Chick, it may be SIBO. My husband didn't write it down but sounds like it.

Bluelyme, you crack me up.

Figures you have heard of vanco. Is it dangerous or 'black box'? I have heard it's used on MERSA patients. This worries me but you guys probably know how I feel about abx.

So anyone take colostrum and have a brand name for me? Maybe I'll start a new thread.

Huddie I am soooooooooo soooooooo soooooo happy for you and hubby! I don't know enough on the anti-biotic spectrum to comment on the protocol, but my intuition says, yup - great direction. Does your hubby have detox on his radar. Congrats on getting him there! My spouse still won't entertain the thought he has lyme. He had a tick bite with a bulls eye rash in the 80s, a few years before we hooked up. I didn't learn of this until lyme came on my radar.

Huddie - is the vancomycin - iv...or oral?

It's not one I've seen often prescribed...I'm wondering if it's newer - as far as prescribing for lyme and co's?

I haven't seen a black box warning for it.


(It's not one of the fluoroquinolones)

Well, with the whole family on the lyme diet and everyone meeting in the kitchen to take their meds, y'all will be cozy.

The family that detoxes together stays together. LOL

Why is it last resort?

Also very happy for you huddie that your father liked the dr!*cheers*

Thank everyone. LOL - yes very cozy. I'll be driven crazy by January.

Jenny, it's my husband. Dr suggested the abx and oral because it's not absorbed in the blood stream, he's trying to protect is gut.

Trav,

I may be wrong about the reason. My husband takes the worst notes and is very much a "Do what the doctor says" person. My husband laughed at one point and said "My wife has been telling me I have leaky gut and candida for years and not to take abx right now until gut is better." Dr. said "Well your wife doesn't believe in abx. and you are loaded with bacteria." -He said it all in a very nice way.

Now it's not that I don't believe in them, I just can't tolerate them. I can see where they can be necessary for lyme some times. For me, not knowing you guys in the beginning, the learning curve for herbs would have taken too long so I did do abx at first.

I am calling the office later and researching this antibiotic.

Thanks Trav,

Yes exactly - I have a reputation for not believing in them and that is simply not true.

I can't herbs the way many can either, wish I could.

Speaking of, I started Red Sage yesterday but you then suggested Skullcap.

Since it was only day one - should I switch to skullcap or stay on RS? What does each do? I read that JK also helps with Babesia, which I'm really not treating at all. Should I try that one?

See, why the learning curve is so great. Right now, knock on wood, I don't have a lot of symptoms. I want to just keep getting herbs in me.

Thanks!

There is transfer factors ...and 5 hr cow colostrum ..mannatech has one ..but idk know about goat collostrum..

i do jnow that my niece was raised on raw goat milk and she is the only one not testing for lyme

I was drinking loads of raw goat milk when my lyme symptoms started (from my own goats). Didn't help me any.

And there's a big difference between milk and colostrum, no matter what mammal it comes from. The colostrum is full of antibodies and will help raise the immune function as well - or at least that's the thought.

I never did drink colostrum - any I had extra was sold for baby critters that lost their mom or mom didn't produce colostrum. Although I did drink and use raw goat milk for drinking, and for cooking, baking and making things like kefir and yogurt, as well as the occasional ice cream. Now I settle for frozen kefir though.
