Has anyone had success with high doses of IV vitamin C and/or the Cowden herbal protocol for the treatment of Lyme disease and coinfections?
I was recently diagnosed after 10 years of unexplained symptoms, and my functional doc wants me to start doing 75,000 mg of intravenous vitamin C daily, which is what they use to treat cancer naturally, as well as IV glutathione to help detox, in conjunction with some herbals that include wormwood, oil of oregano and EGCg. This will cost me around $1k/week!
I'm also interested in the Cowden Protocol as it is much more affordable, but I would be doing that on my own without any doctor supervision, which makes me a bit nervous.
I am feeling overwhelmed as there are so many opinions on treatment and everything seems so horrendously expensive and time consuming. Not to mention the fact that there aren't really any Lyme specialists here in FL.
I know it takes time to heal from Lyme, but I am hoping for the fastest path to recovery as I am 34 and cannot start a family until the Lyme is gone.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
