SUPPLEMENTS
THINGS TO KNOW IN GENERAL
Any of the products or individual supplements suggested below should be considered as
highly recommended in the treatment of Lyme disease or related conditions/co-infections. Given
that I do not know you personally and have no specific knowledge of your medical history or
present condition I can only suggest dosages based on what myself and other people have
tolerated and responded positively to. Please begin slowly with any new substances and pay
attention to how your body responds, adjusting the dosage accordingly. Some of the ingredients
in the formulas are strong, if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs I
recommend that you have a physician advise you before taking any of these products.
With respect to the formulas I have created, they are made in an effort to provide you with
products that contain ingredients having good historical and clinical evidence for their use.
I have also tried to consolidate substances to limit the number of individual bottles of
supplements you may need. All of these formulas have been well thought out using the most
accurate information I could find with regard to the individual ingredients. As to the
ingredients, they are of the highest quality. When available, the herbal substances used are
standardized for quantity of active chemicals and are organic. I have no doubt as to the
overall quality of these products. I also feel certain that you will not be able to buy
anything comparable for the price you can get them for through this site (if you can, please
let me know so that I can recommend the source to others).
Unfortunately for many of you the use of these suggested supplements may not provide quick
results. Depending on the symptoms you are experiencing and or the specific condition i.e.
Lyme disease, Babesia, intestinal parasites etc. you are treating, improvement may take weeks.
I can only encourage you to understand that these supplements have worked for others, believe
they will for you and stick with a good solid program giving it time. I, and others, have
taken supplements for a year or more for the treatment of Lyme disease. While improvement in
some symptoms may come early, real lasting change takes time. Relapses will occur but they
will be farther apart and less severe as you continue your program.
HERXHEIMER REACTIONS
This is an important topic. Herxheimer reactions are common in the treatment of any chronic
disease. They basically consist of a worsening of the symptoms you may already be experiencing
as a result of the condition but are brought about while an improvement is occurring. In
naturopathic medicine this is called a healing crisis. Look at it this way, if a pathogen, Bb
for instance, creates a given set of symptoms in you as a result of chemicals it produces i.e.
neurotoxin Bbtox1, then the death of many Bb (die-off) will result in the release of even more
neurotoxins resulting in a worsening of symptoms. While this can be considered a good thing it
basically sucks! You may read the tales of others who suffered through these reactions week
after week considering them a good indicator that they were killing Bb consistently. I do not
believe this is a wise thing to do. To make your body struggle constantly with dead pathogens
may overwhelm your immune system, your lymphatic system, your liver and kidneys and cause
neurological or cardiac symptoms which may be more difficult to reverse. It is best to go
slowly and pay attention to how well your body tolerates the die-off. Remember, the more
treatments your do to support your body’s functions the more
aggressive you can be in killing organisms.
