Recurring Lyme

Just wondering if everyone else's Lyme also recurs. Mine comes back every year and half (more or less) and then with treatment (I take homeopathic meds) goes back into remission. Is there anything that can help to get rid of permanently Like continuing treatment even though it's not 'active' in my system?

I'm thinking more treatment - perhaps an herbal one...
If it comes back every year - there's still something 'going on' there.

According to Buhner there are three main herbs for lyme (known as his core protocol), you can find description here buhnerhealinglyme.com/the-protocols/
I recommend reading Buhner's book about Lyme and herbs, where you could find detailed info how to use those herbs. As I remember they are quite safe so one can take them all the time for years in proper dose.
Another solution are essential oils used topically, in my opinion they are very effective in killing various bacterias and fungus with no side effects. The cheapest way is to buy a lots of them and make your own mixes with some plantbased oil.

Relapsing Fever is a different Borrelia than what most of us think of when we think of Lyme. Buhner says (page 189 in his second edition of Healing Lyme) that Andrographis is commonly used in Africa for this strain, as well as Leptospira.

Here is some information on Relapsing Fever, in case you wish to see it:

Thanks Huddie. I'm not sure what the meds are. I get it from my homeopath, which I think he makes up himself.

Traveler, PeteZa, thanks for the links. Interesting to read.

My sickness is caused my rickettsia africane not borrelia. My doctor says it's the same thing just a different strain. That's what you get in South Africa. I don't get a fever each time it recurs (like i did at the start). It just kinda starts as mild flu-like symptoms. But I'm still going to try Andrographis. I'm already taking Astragalus.

I agree with Darryl Hall that it lives in my body. My problem is that I still have symptoms, like being unable drive (my biggest issue), poor immunity and fluctuating eye sight and nobody seems to be able to find any explanation, especially for my driving. So, I agree, something must still be 'going on' and I want to find out what it is so I can get rid of the symptoms. Otherwise I would just live with it and takes the meds when it recurs.
