Was SO worth the investment! I missed the first meeting (brain fart) and the herbalist was kind enough to let me re-schedule. I gained a sense of what supplements I can phase out and what to add for various things. The most important thing is I need to keep up with treatment until I am symptom free, and then for four months, THEN switch to maintenance. I was symptom free for a bit, but then things have been flaring up a bit. I think because I let sugar and gluten back into my world! Also asked about what it takes to become an herbalist.

Sounds like you had a very good experience. I have been self treating with herbs but been thinking about going to an herbalist, just to make sure I'm on the right track.. My llmd only uses ABX treatment but I believe I'm going to need both to fight Lyme.

Glad you had a good day. Sincerely, Jo

Sounds like a great appointment, multi!


Are you considering taking the herbalist courses? That would be awesome!

You should have asked Traveler...Isn't that what she's studying for?

Awesome news!!

Fantastic!! I'm so happy for you!

Wonderful news, Multi!!! I'm so very happy to hear that you were able to get back in to see her!!

Yes, I am back in school to become a Clinical Herbalist. For anyone that is curious, I chose this school:
/theherbalacademy.com/

It just "fit" me and my schedule best.

Wherever you choose to go - I wish you the best of luck!!

Daisies - do you have Buhner's "Healing Lyme", 2nd edition? At the very end of this book, he mentions 4 Practitioners (Page 453, under 'resources').

That's fine!! I just wanted to be sure you saw those as well. You may wish to start a new thread about it??

Uhm, no. I'm my own herbalist - LOL. That's why I'm back in school though - to become a certified Herbalist. Even if I never do more than treat myself, it's worth it!! I can't find any doctor, herbalist or any other "qualified" person that I can count on to be of help in my area.

Although, I have heard really good things about Tim Scott and Julie McIntyre from members that have used them for consults!

Girlie - yes, I am considering herbalist courses. 1000Daisies - I worked with Julie McIntyre. She posed a good question - what type of herbalist do you want to be? I think I am going to begin by self-educating myself, keeping detailed notes, and doing as she advises: begin listening to the plants, smelling them, using them. She doesn't recommend anything she hasn't tested/tried herself. I need to use extra resources now for healing and don't have $$ for courses. I was symptom free for a bit, but am back to having symptoms. I need to get to a point where I am symptom free, then treat for four months before shifting to maintenance.
