timing of all these pills!!

So for the very first time in my lyme journey (about 4 years), I have finally bitten the bullet (so to speak) and I am about to embark on a course of abx (which I swore I would never take....)

Anyway, my newest LLMD (who charges a zillion dollars an hour) spent time discussing my symptoms and all the things I have tried, wrote out my prescriptions, then reviewed all my supplements (and said, great..."keeping taking all of that"). Well, my time was up at that point, so I have no guidance as to timing of anything.

Can someone please help me with some sort of schedule. I would greatly appreciate it.....no clue what can/cn't be taken together, with/without food, separated from everything else, etc.... !!If I am going to take all of this stuff, spend all this$, destroy my gut, etc...I'd like to at least do it "right".

So here goes....

Vitamins/minerals (trace minerals, vit c, omega , co-q 10, iodine, d3...really a hormone)

HOrmones: sublingual progesterone, dhea

detox: pekana 3 (lymph, liver, kidneys); milk thistle; glutathione

binder: activated charcoal

abx: Rifampin (and in a month adding in zithro) both twice a day

LDN: (this i know has to be at bedtime)

blood thinners/cyst busters: nattokinase and serrapeptase

mold killing and more detox: ACS silver spray, chlorella, Pecta-sol (mcp)

probiotics (nightime with LDN?)


Seriously, there aren't enough hours in the day.....

My brain isn't really good right now to do a full schedule for you but some considerations:

CoQ10 - best taken with fat.

Activated charcoal - 2-3 hours away from anything else (before and after)

cyst busters - serrapeptase and nattokinase - empty stomach


edited: CoQ10 to be taken with fat.

Girlie,
It's been up and down, but overall not really...I did the best early on on Dr zhang's protocol (I live in nyc , so went there in person), but only got mayb 30% better from that. After that tried soooo many non abx things and nothing really did much for me (with the exception of the UVLrx...felt some improvement which disappeared as soon as I stopped...too expensive, couldn't keep going with that treatment)

So, now I'm doing it backward...most people seem to start with abx....i'm reluctantly going there now because I can't remain sick indefinitely....enough is enough....I pray the abx don't make me worse in the long run

Here would be my best guess but maybe this will be a good starting place for others to give guidance:

Pre-breakfast (say 30 min prior?):
sublingual progesterone, dhea

Breakfast:
Rifampin/Azith
Pekana 3 (NOT SURE about THIS)

Lunch:
Glutathione
trace minerals
vit c
omega
co-q 10 Make sure to eat with fat at lunch (per girlie on the co-q10)
iodine
d3
zinc

2 pm (or 2 hours after lunch):
ACS silver spray, chlorella, Pecta-sol (mcp)

Pre-dinner (30 min prior):
nattokinase and serrapeptase

Dinner:
Rifampin/Azith

Bedtime:
milk thistle
Magnesium
LDN
Probiotics (not sure if you need to but maybe 30 min after the LDN & Milk Thistle?)

Middle of the Night:
activated charcoal

Ko7.... Tku so much.,that is helpful...my lyme brain was having a really hard time trying to come up with a schedule.i just rememebered my previous dr said to put the pekana in a 1 liter bottle of water each day and drink it all dsy long,but I think the test of what you wrote sounds good.

i don't plan to do charcoal every night ... Only if I happen to wake up... Which tends to be relatively frequently anyway.

Also the natto/Serra is supposed to be 3x a day on empty stomach. I may just take it once to save money ( & my sanity!)

Need to invest in a machine and rectal insufflattions bags and cathaders ..ladies have extra acces ls point ...a good machine can be very pricey
