Update (lyme, rmsf, brucella)

I am seeing a new doctor and got some testing back. Positive for BB (which I knew) and also positive for RMSF and Brucella. A second Brucella test (agglutination) was negative so they are going to repeat testing next month. Also have high complement C4A and ch50.

When I first joined the forum a member named Tooty told me my symptoms sounded like Brucella. Plus I had just been bitten by a dog.

My IGeneX results for Babs & Bart are not back yet.

Hi k07!-

I have also wondered if I have Brucella? I grew up on a dairy farm. So I was around a lot of animals and drank unpasteurized milk daily.

I have seen post from people here that have treated Brucella with : Doxy and Rifampin/OR/ Bactrim, Doxy, and Rifampin. I have been on all of these meds in the past year, but never took them all at the same time.

I only tested positive for Lyme through Igenex. My Bartonella and Babesia came back negative through Igenex. But once I started treatment for Lyme, I started to display symptoms of Bartonella and Babesia. So my LLMD is treating me for Bart and Babs. I know that the co- infections test is a lot more unreliable than the Lyme test.

What lab or how did you test for Brucella????

I am currently off my antibiotics and started Byron White A-P (herbal drops for parasites). My LLMD said that A-P is used for: Nematodes, Lung Fluke's, Tapeworm, Mold, and Candida. I do know that mold and Candida are not parasites. But I think that some of the herbs in A-P also help with these two.

I wonder if the A-P will also help if I have Brucella?

Sorry to hear that you tested positive for RMSF. But at least you now know.

This whole disease is a giant puzzle.

Best Wishes!

Hi k07!-

Thank you for your response! I wrote this down to ask my LLMD at my next appointment.

Have you noticed any difference with using A-P?
Do you feel better, worse, or same?
How long have you been taking A-P?

My LLMD wants me to get up to 20 drops a day. So far I am on 2 drops a day.

Thank you again for your response!

Best Wishes!

Hi k07!-

Thank you for your response!!! And thank you for asking if I have noticed a difference yet. Since I am only at 2 drops a day (1 drop morning and 1 drop evening) it is also hard for me to notice a difference.

I am having a having a lot of Alzheimer's symptoms flaring up. I am having issues with finding the right word to use, and mixing up letters in a word, and I sometimes make up new words! Ha ha ha!! Thank goodness for autocorrect!! And an iPad that will come up with words for me!!! :)

I don't know if this is from stopping antibiotics, or if I am herxing from A-P? But I am getting very dumb and fast.

So, it kinda looks like we are both unsure.:)

I am sorry to hear that you ran out of your Core Protocol. I am sure that Monday can't come soon enough for you! I hope that once you start the herbs up again, that your symptoms will get better!

So, yeah, I really don't know anymore. I guess, I will keep trying to increase A-P. If I really get bad, I will back off and call my LLMD.

If you do notice a difference, please let us know!!

Sorry, I hope that I didn't derail your thread too much.

Best Wishes!
