LLMD appointment yesterday

My daughter drove me to my appointment (2.5 hours away) because my vision is so bad with double vision.....wish this would go away. I have been basically housebound so this was a feat for me.

I have been off antibiotics since January and started to use Buhner's tinctures. I stopped using JK and Stephania due to a possible link to fluoroquinolone type reactions. Both of those have quinolones in them and I wasn't taking a chance on using them. I will go back to using other Buhner's herbs once I get my bacterial loads down. I am still taking Motherwort and Hawthorne. I was going downhill fast so I made an appointment with my LLMD. He listened intently at my concerns of having another bout with c-dif. Thankfully, Flagyl was able to take care of it. They say once you have c-dif you are more susceptible to get it again if on antibiotics.

We both agreed that I will again try A-Bart but start slowly with 1/3 drop two times a week, then 3 times a week, etc. The last time I took A-Bart it kicked my butt so maybe going low and slow will work this time. I have many methylation snps so I need to go slow on antibiotics and herbs. I still work with my Functional Medical Chiropractor for these issues.

I ordered Sovereign's Colostrum LD to help heal a leaky gut at the suggestion of the doctor. I am not sure I have it but it seems most of us Lymies do and I think it is a great idea whether we have infections or not. Traveler posted a great link for me about the great effects of Colostrum. Thanks, Traveler.

The doc also told me to stop the chlorella for now as he doesn't think it is a good idea to move the metals right now. Who knows! Anyone have thoughts on this?

I wish I could hit these darn infections hard and fast but I learned my lesson. I was in a constant bad herx for a long time. The 23andme test is a good diagnostic tool to make sure whether you are a good detoxer or not.

Caramba, that is a good link.

I took 1/3 drop of A-Bart and boy did I herx. Going to continue to detox heavily and hope for the best.

Yes, Traveler, I am taking activated charcoal 2-3 tabs every night. No constipation issues. I was taking 3 caps of chlorella but he doesn't want to move the metals just yet......been taking them for a few months. A-Bart is powerful, to say the least. Thanks for always being there for us. I know you are having a heck of a time, too. I hope your stress levels don't get too out of hand. We both have a lot on our plates with our hubbies' problems. By the grace of God....

I hope that you do okay with your stress levels as well, Patty. You do stay on my mind a lot! One step at a time and one day at a time, right? Hang in there!
