I do eat some fruit and for me it seems to be much less of a problem than refined sugar but it's hard to tell.

Reflecting on my six years with Lyme (before I knew what the issue was) I can look back and see some element of my lifestyle that made me well / less well..

Eg: Macdonald's, KFC, beer, sweets, icecream and work stress = 3 months confined to the floor in pain with headaches and sciatica.

I then recovered during my time on the floor as I happened to try a diet of fish and stir fry only for a few months + got a friend to drive me to the pool every day.

However after scraping myself off the floor I slipped back and ended up with a lot of other symptoms. Maybe due to stopping the fish / stir fry diet.

When I got a diagnosis I was pretty quick to buy into the importance of diet and excercise due to the above experience.

“It sounds like it doesn't work for everyone but my very unscientific take based on reading people's stories is that recovery always seems to involve:

1. No sugar diet / often paleo
2. antibiotics and/or herbal protocol such as buhner / cowden.
3. Lots of excercise.

Not saying this always works but my reading is for those who do recover well always follow each of the three points above.

Ie: diet and excercise are essential.”


When you say sugar - you mean white/processed sugar - or are you also talking about high sugar fruits, simple carbs etc?

I don’t think there is one way to heal. I know someone who did change her diet -but exercise wasn’t a priority - except for walking a few times a week.

Also - the diet choice varies - some limit meat - others are protein heavy (including meat)

Please post a thread about your mold treatments and how effective you find them. Also any information you have to share would be greatly appreciated. My doc doesn’t get into much detail about why she recommends different things or what they’re supposed to do. Actually she does somewhat. I just have trouble following.

Hi WalkingbyFaith

I thought I was targetting the mold pretty good but I am not sure if I am making progress. I don't have sugar cravings this week, but I've been on Niacinamide (the non-niacin version of B3), 6x500mg -- three in the morning and three in the afternoon, and 150mg Fluconazole every 3 days.

So after a week, my armpits smell like mold. I can't tell if my system is flushing it out and working, or if it isn't doing anything.

Looking around on the internet there's some weird suggestions out there (not very weird to us, stuff like buying bulk asprin for horses and mixing it with water to get 3g/day) and "10mg" of Metheylene blue. I'm going to try just my Niacinamide+Flconzole for a few more days, and then try it with 3g Asprin+ 1tablespoon Methylene blue w/distilled water. I'll create a new thread if something significant happens. Good luck

Three grams of aspirin sounds toxic to me. Aspirin is a blood thinner, and you can get severe bleeding if your blood gets too thin.

I agree. I'd only try at most 2x 325mg and see if it works. 3g/day would have to be extraordinary circumstances that would mean somebody has tried everything, several doctors, and somehow backed it up by research. But 2x325mg for a few days with Methylene Blue should be fine to test out (Sorry I didn't want to sidetrack Nick's excellent post)

fasting is indeed great for cell regeneration but for those of us who are losing weight from lyme it is obviously not an option. diet and exercise and supplements are no doubt great things but most of us will not recover on those things alone. it is nice that you did but please don't proclaim this will cure the rest of us as most of us are already doing these things. and please do not imply we are not working hard. no one wants this illness and we are all here because we are trying.
