Well, as you can see in this www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3673014 thread, the doctor I saw ended up saying I don't have Lyme.

However, I spoke to a naturopathic doctor who sounded very nice; she said she goes more by symptom history and also treats with the Byron White formulas.

My symptoms are too severe for me to attempt something like the Buhner protocol on my own, I think -- I also overreact to all meds/supplements and wouldn't feel comfortable trying to assess when I was herxing etc.

If I can't access abx. would it be worth a shot trying the BW approach?

Byron White herbs are very powerful. My LLMD uses them with people who don't get well using gentler herbs. The die-off reactions with Byron White can be very strong. I believe they helped me. I didn't totally heal with them, either, but I later learned that's because I had parasitic infections that were keeping me sick. We each have our own unique conditions, so what works best for one person may not work as well for others.

Since you say you tend to overreact to supplements, I would suggest starting with something a little gentler than Byron White. Would your naturopath be willing to evaluate your symptoms as you go through Buhner's protocol? If she is familiar with Byron White, she should at least be able to help you discern when you're having symptoms or herxes.

Also, be sure to try some different detox methods, too. Since you've been sick, those pathogens have been loading your body down with more toxins than it can effectively clear out on its own. Helping to get those toxins out of your body will give it more freedom to focus on healing.

Thanks for the heads up. Are Byron White herbs only designed to target Lyme & co, or can they also help wipe out potential viral infections? I think part of my issue is that no one can determine if what I'm dealing with is viral or bacterial, or it may even potentially be both. But, without really exaggerating, I basically feel like I'm sitting around being left to die while doctors scratch their chins. I would rather start some kind of treatment just to even give me a little hope.

I'm not sure if the naturopath would be willing to evaluate me on Buhner's protocol. I guess I'd have to wait until I met her and also determine what she thinks is wrong. I did bring up my concern about supplement sensitivities over the phone, and she said it is something she sees a lot.

Byron White has a different formula for each type of pathogen. I think they might have a formula for viral infections, but I'm not sure. I think it would be a great idea to see the naturopath and let her evaluate your symptoms. It sounds like she at least has some experience with this sort of thing and would be a good place to start. Ask her about how her other patients experience herxing with Byron White and how she handles it.

I would start detoxing NOW! Many of my initial symptoms were because of the toxin build up in my body and my body needed help eliminating them.

Something as simple as lemon water throughout the day. Just a splash of organic lemon juice or a fresh squeezed lemon in a large glass of water - do 3 or 4 of these a day.

As for healing. I always like to call it baby steps. Yes we want to get EVERY bad thing out of us, but we can't do it all at once. You have to tackle one thing slowly at a time.

If you do Bryon White or Buhner you will go low and slow. And as you begin to get rid of lyme others may die also, including the co-infections.

Best just to really detox and start anything low and slow and see how it goes. If you don't like it or it doesn't agree with you, then you can change.

Added to include the link to detoxing methods and a thread about it.

Here's a link to the Byron White formula website. This should give you a better idea of what issues his products cover. I do agree with Nosila that they are potent. You can always start with a half a drop if need be and then judge your reaction.
