I emailed sally Norton and her assistant actually responded. He said Chinese skullcap is low oxalate....
Moose- thanks for the podcast link. It was helpful, apparently she says you should quit supplements. Not sure if I agree. Did you take any herbs? Did you have to quit any? Rampage- Rico Cech has a...
The one herb I can find data on is houtynnia- 3204mg/100g. At the dose I take I’m getting over 90mg per day from that herb alone. Safe levels are 50-150mg total intake per day. So maybe just cutting...
I’ve done evaporated tinctures but got tired of spending so much time and money on alcohol and making tinctures....
That’s incredibly disappointing. I’m so sorry....
Does anyone have a source to find oxalate content in Lyme herbs? I’m not finding any info on it. I think oxalate may be contributing to my lack of progress, so I’m gradually starting to go low...
That’s very interesting. I currently take kpv and it has helped some with sleep and mcas. But not nearly as much as this has helped you. I’m tempted to try it but had a bad experience with a...
Wow. Interesting how the 2 plants you have mentioned recently are literally weeds in WI, a Lyme endemic state. Maybe I’ll have to try that one too. I think I actually have some dried already....
Wow. That’s great. Are you still able to sleep a healthy amount? Just not excessive?...
I had my thyroid update appointment today. All my numbers are much better after 4 months. My doctor was very impressed with how well the dedicated thyroid is working for me. I know my approach is a...
How is it going now? Have you upped your dose?...
Foil seems to be working for us:[/quote] Hmmm. Do you have a pattern? 😂...
What about straight beef thyroid? Due to my allergy to microcrystalline cellulose I suggested it to my doctor. He said go for it. I’m taking 1 pill of the ancestral supplements per day and it does...
That’s creepy. I do like having WiFi in my room when I choose to… but I’m not sure if I’ll get a tent or not. Still thinking about it....
My issue is my dad is the one in charge of the WiFi… so he unplugs it at 10 and plugs it back in between 4-5am. So then I wake up around 5:30 unable to sleep but exhausted. That’s why I’m considering...
“Start slow” he says 😂. Glad you herxed, but sorry it was so bad. I’ll try to find some if it stops raining whenever I’m home. Your weather is cold- we’re in the 80-90s here. And super humid....
Yes, herb means the whole thing. I will go slow if I try it. Will let you know if I do. I need to check and see how much I can even get, it’s not cultivated so I’m not sure how much I have....
I recently listened to a podcast where the guest said a bed tent improves his sleep metrics, specifically hrv. Has anyone on here used one? If so, which one? Amazon has some relatively inexpensive,...
I will have to harvest some yarrow and try it. We have it all over our yard. What part are you using? Leaves or flowers? The flowers are a common cold remedy....
I’ve never taken the oil but do take the seed. I don’t know if it really does anything for me though....
Interestingly, several of those herbs also lower histamine/inflamation. Moringa, ginger, black seed. I take all 3 of them. Maybe there’s a causation link? Like babesia raises histamine or causes mcas...
That sounds exactly like me. My sinus issues started with a Lysol exposure. I also take baical, I assume you mean baical skullcap? I also forgot to say I take butterbur. It helps a lot with allergy...
One game changer for me was moringa. I don’t have an official diagnosis of mcas but do have most of the symptoms. I was already on beef kidney, chamomile, black seed, feverfew, nettle, hista resist...
I added xylitol recently as well. It made me herx for the first time since starting teasel. I normally don’t herx. I have worked up to 2 teaspoons a day over the last 2 months. I also added...
Chlorella and S. Boulardi are supposed to be helpful for mold. I haven’t actually treated for mold though, that’s just what I read. Bentonite clay is a good binder. You need to have regular bowel...
MedicalNerd, sorry I didn’t respond earlier. Didn’t get an email notification and forgot to come on for a week. I’m taking about 2 oz of tinctures per dose (1 dropper each of a LOT of herbs). So a...
I have the same problem due to the sheer volume of tinctures I take. Here’s the solution- put your tinctures in a shot glass and place on a reptile heating mat for 4-24 hours. I do best with 24. This...
Thank you. I had some red flags from the website, but good to know the story of someone with first had experience. So sorry they wasted your time and money....
Has anyone heard of/used Spero clinic? It’s a functional medicine clinic and they treat Lyme. But as far as I know they aren’t listed on ILADS. Someone gave me an article on the clinic and it sounds...
I’m a young person hoping to buy a house soon. It stinks. Any time I save I end up needing to spend some on Lyme. I don’t get a tax return- I’m self employed. I also don’t get sick days, which wasn’t...
I have not seen a doctor. Last time I was on antibiotics (for Lyme) I felt as bad or worse than I do now. I’m on herbal antibiotics/antivirals and trying all the things to feel better. I refuse to...
I’m getting really frustrated. I got a little sick over thanksgiving. Used the sauna and managed to kick it fairly quickly. Then I was really sick over Christmas. Spent Christmas Eve and Christmas in...
I second the Brooks recommendation. They are pricey, but I loved them. Also helped avoid knee pain. I was working on concrete when I had them. Unfortunately I worked them to death over a year- worked...
A different way to do what Garzie does to reduce alcohol content- I have baby food jars and shot glasses that I use to measure out individual doses. So every week I measure out a week worth of doses...
I think diet has helped me not get as sick as the “average “ person with chronic Lyme. But it didn’t cure me. And I think the benefits I got from GAPS have “worn off” after 10 years. So I think Lyme...
I was quoted $545 from a nutritionist when I contacted the company. It’s normally $700. I’ve done a lot of different elimination diets/aip/gaps. I’ve seen gains with each but it would be nice to know...
Has anyone done the mrt food sensitivities test and LEAP diet? Curious if it’s worth the cost and if it actually works....
They are little, like the head of a small sewing pin. Or smaller. I think they are related to the itch because the more visible the bumps are, the itchier I am. I’ve never taken antifungals or seen a...
I have had what I thought was athletes foot off and on for years. But now I’m wondering if it actually is athletes foot. I get red itchy bumps in the arch of my feet. Sometimes it’s also on the side...
I don’t know anything about this. I still have my wisdom teeth because I didn’t want to deal with this issue....
Oxolate I believe....
Piggybacking on Sarah Jane- has anyone tried the water bottles and tablets? Which is better?...
I have mcs. I have been able to improve how sensitive I am by cleaning up my diet and eliminating exposure at home. I do still get nauseous from too much cologne and perfume. But not up all night...
I don’t mind long posts. What dose tudca do you take? Could my being more sensitive the last few months be due to the temperature/moisture changes because it’s spring here?...
I guess I’m more focused on Lyme and co. at the moment. I am seeing progress. I’m just not 100%. Probably 70% and I’d say I started at 50% in 2020. I brought up remediation but my parents aren’t on...
Also, after I started using the filters and treated my clothes dr. B didn’t smell mold on me anymore. I guess I’m just resistant to the idea that I have to totally change my life. Humans have lived...
Honestly, I found the guy who told me to be creepy so I wasn’t sure I believed him. My parents own the house. I live here because it’s the only way I can afford land so I can keep my goats. I’m not...
Thanks wbf. I was told that I “smelled like mold” by a local “Lyme doctor “. Not sure he’s legit. I did get iadaptair filters for my house and washed everything in ec3. I know that isn’t much, but I...
I frequently get a runny nose after eating. Haven’t figured out what exactly causes it. Chemical exposure can make me nauseous or give headaches. I don’t remember what else at the moment....
Multiple chemical sensitivity...
