Can you eradicate Lyme with only herbs?

Hi all,

I was just diagnosed with Lyme by an LLMD and just started treatment this week (started me on Phytolymex). All of these treatment options are overwhelming me and making my (already spinning) head spin, so I'm seeking some guidance.

He wants to have me either on a colloidal silver IV or long term antibiotics, neither of which I am a fan of. I tend to clot, so I am very nervous about any extended IV treatment, and my gut is an absolute wreck (from the Lyme and among other things, which I am currently treating) so I cannot afford to feel worse or lose any more weight from oral antibiotics (any weight loss would mean a serious danger zone for me).

This said, I have read many accounts of people who had very bad luck with antibiotics (terrible gastric side effects and weight loss) and found huge help from using antimicrobial herbs instead.

I have no intention on doing this on my own and plan on seeking the help of an LLND who has a proven track record of helping people immensely using only these antimicrobial herbs –– does anyone have any experience with a purely herbal protocol? Or any advice on moving forward?

Thanks

I'm going to be honest, cryptolepis for me was stronger and more effective than doxycycline. The thing is... you can't really generalize "herbs vs antibiotics". There are some herbs that absolutely won't cure you and same goes for antibiotics. On the other hand, there are probably some in both camps that could cure you under the right circumstances. Right now we have a real lack of clinical data and so it's just a matter of "see what works for you".
