LL-37 Peptide

I recently started taking LL-37 Peptide shots, daily. I didn't get a lot of information before starting. From what I understand, LL-37 could be a game changer for treating lyme, but there isn't much information out there that states how it works to combat Lyme.

I'll be taking the shots for 50 days. I've taken them for nine days so far, but I'm not feeling any better. Some days I feel like I could be herxing, but I don't know if herxing is part of it. Maybe?

If anyone has used LL-37, I would love to know what you thought about i.

thanks

How does it work?

I'm not 100% sure, but I'll tell you what I know. I believe there has been great success, but it's still in its trail period. It is FDA registered, but not FDA approved. Basically, I think I'm a guinea pig. However, if LL-37 proves to be effective, it could be a game changer in the way Lyme is treated. I believe our body produces LL-37, so this is likely to be an enhancer.

Below is a list highlights given to me on a handout. I think the info is my docs notes that she shares with patients.

I take a very small dose of LL-37 (.1ml) with an insulin needle, once a day. Shot goes in a fatty area. I take it in the outside of my thigh. I don't like shots, but this is fast and easy. Same dose for 50 days. At the end of 50 days, the does could stay the same or increase, if I'm correct. It's not a life-long injection. It's to get the immune system to work more efficiently, I think.

LL-37 is an antimicrobial peptide which belongs to the cathelicidin family. It serves as an important role in the first line of defense against infection and systemic invasion of pathogens at sites of inflammation and wounds. LL-37 has been successful in promoting would healing but it may play a negative role in atopic dematitis and psoriasis.

*It serves and an endogenous antibiotic that is able to rapidly kill an unusually broad range of bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses.
*It directly disrupts prokaryotic cell membranes.
*It has multiple modes of action including immune modulating effects
*boosts mesenchymal stem migratory behavior and immunomodulatory effects (immune balancing)
*significant anit-biofilm activity at low levels so it helps the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapies.
*antimicrobial peptides are synergistic with antibiotics and reduce the development of drug resistance
*Blocks adhesion of candida ablicans to sell surfaces
*Effective against free borrelia spirochetes and cystic forms
*Even low doses block the bioactivity of endotoxins and neurotoxins
*Well-tolerated, very safe with few side effects and a large therapeutic window
*Caution with autoimmune disease at high doses, as with many immune modulators.

Hi Mark,

I hope you have some luck with it. I didn’t. It was a while ago, so I don’t remember how long I did the shots. I went as long as I was supposed to (50 days, I think), but I’m not sure if I continued longer.

I recently left that particular LL Naturopathic DOC. I was beginning to feel like I was her little guinea pig. The heavy antibiotics, bicillian and LL-37 shots, in addition to random “this might help,” I was tired of the failures. I know there’s no rhyme or reason to Lyme, but with some insurance coverage ( out of network 65% coverage), I still ended up spending at least $10,000 out of pocket, and I felt little to no relief.

My new doc is building my immune system with vitamins, which are more affordable and easy to get. I’m also taking Japanese Knotweed and cryptolepis. I was feeling the best I have for two and a half years. Recently, I had to stop the tinctures before I had a hip replacement, last week. (Not sure if the Lyme was part of the problem with the hips) I’ve just started the tinctures, again, and I’m hoping my current plan continues to move me in the right direction. This LL doc isn’t a naturopath, but she’s in my insurance network. The financial drain is over. Ahhhhh

I am willing to try LL-37
