So I've been doing my thing for a while and I'm still so confused. Somedays I feel great basically like im done with treatment then other

days I feel worse than I ever have. I don't know if I'm herxing or what but I know that I always feel much better after taking alka seltzer gold

which leads me to beleive I have to detox more. For example was feeling extra awful at dinner tonight to the point of almost excusing

myself before dinner came out but then I went and took my fourth packet of alka seltzer gold for the day and immediately didnt feel like I was going to die anymore.

Another example some days I go the gym and bench press 245lbs no problem then other days my legs shake when I walk from weakness...

My current protocol Im on is a mix of 3 different ones. I'm taking Jernigan's full lyme protocol
I suppliment with:
Alive multi vitamin
Remag
60 bil probiotics
Niacin
ALA
NAC
Moringa Leaf Powder
Nigella sativa seeds

Detox with:
Alka seltzer gold
Yogi Detox tea

My symptoms are :
Dizzyness, brain fog, chestpain/anxiety, muscle weakness, left side tingles, floaters

Like I said somedays I feel great confident happy energetic. Other days I just want to die.

Any advice for me?

Also since detoxing helps me so much I was thinking about taking zeolite. Anyone know the best brand to take?

Major thing I forgot to mention... ACNE! I never got a pimple once throughout highschool or growing up. Now I have so many pimples I look like Im regoing through puberty! Lol could this be related?

Did your dizziness and brain fog get worse lately? Because before I think that symptom cleared for you?

It is possible maybe the Jerrnigan herbs are stirring the remaining bacteria up for you?

Congrats on getting off the Abx! I hope I can do that someday!

How long have you been doing this protocol?

Hi Tbrown—

ASG is so great for detox and soothing the tummy. I had to stop taking it due to low acid but I do love that stuff and it WORKS. It alkalinizes, oxygenates, among other things. But I would be careful because I've read that you can take too much.

With the dizziness, brain fog, anxiety, muscle weakness and floaters—these are pretty common with yeast/fungal overgrowth. Have you checked for this condition?

And I would agree—you could definitely do more detox. Lots of posters here do detox baths, coffee enemas, liver detox. Pinella, parsley and Burbur are good for detox—including the brain.

There was a recent thread regarding liver detox dumping too much into the blood stream too quickly, which then causes other issues like muscle fatigue. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Keep at it. Hope others chime in. You're doing well so far (ESPECIALLY if you are bench pressing??? awesome)—just be sure not to overdo it, which can cause cycles of fatigue and setbacks.

I've been doing this since the beginning of novemeber. Part of the half of the Jernigan protocol treats yeast so
I'm hoping I'm having that part under control. I'm continuing to read more and more about zoelite and defiantly want to try it I just don't know which brand to take.

Hi TBrown,

I don't know what those supplements or teas are. I know when a member here (GWB aka Gary) went to Hansa, Dr. J. threw away all of his supplements (he brought them) and Dr. J. said Gary only needed one after testing all of them.

Have you ever tried Green Vibrance? I take that daily and it has everything in it plus over a billion probiotics. It does taste horrible, yeah! Almost like drinking freshly mowed grass (I'm used to it). It has minerals, vitamins, etc.

I think the pimples mean toxins that are trying to come out.. Our skin is our largest living organ and maybe you need to dry skin brush and take lots of detox baths. Foot baths are powerful too!

I don't know if this helps or not, I hope it does!

Happy New Year!

I think acne could very well be related to candida! I had it on and off myself. During lyme treatment it went away with all these Abx though. I might be getting a return of that when I stop the Abx.

The weird thing is I was on 4 antibiotics for a year and still never got a pimple. Haven't been on them for 3 months and now have a ton so i don't know if it's candida or not. I would hope not

Deejavu I wasn't taking any suppliments at all for the first two months I was on the protocol then I didn't notice any improvement so I decided to try some. I have used green vibrance and Max vibrance didn't seem to make much of a difference for me.

Not sure where to go from here

TBrown, but you see the thing is about the antibiotics... You were on 4 and didn't get a pimple! Lol. When on antibiotics you won't get pimples as it kills the bacteria that cause acne. Yeast/candida overgrowth is well known for causing acne. There are some kinds of toxins being released anyways.

Were you on nystatin when you were on the Abx?

Yes and probiotics

Totally agree with the suggestion that the acne indicates toxins are backed up—try doing dry brushing and other things to help your lymphs flush better and then do soaks to help your skin detox more effectively.

Right after I was infected (or perhaps re-infected) I developed an insane case of painful cystic acne—like I'd never developed before. Not in the naturally oily t-zone, but in the apples of my cheeks, which suggests severity in the problem.

Supporting your lymphs and detox will also likely help a few of your other sx as well. You need to help your body move that stuff out of it a little better.

ALSO, (sorry to everyone else for my constant rant about this) the best form of Nystatin to take is the pure Nystatin powder 1,000,000 units. The capsules, liquid have fillers and other stuff (even sugar!) that you don't need, which also dilute it's concentration. It's cheaper and more effective than anything the mfrs make—ask your LLMD to call in an Rx to your local compounding pharmacist or let me know if you'd like a contact for one who ships for free. The other benefit to the powder is that it coats your entire mouth, throat, stomach, upper and lower GI—all through your alimentary canal and gets to yeast/fungus hiding where nothing else can reach. Much more effective. ;)

Pirouette could you give me some more information about that nystatin where to get it and how much? Going to try that and pairing it with zeolite and see what happen
