    I heard Suzanne Sommers on Today show talk about her new wellness book, she mentioned the importance of adaquate levels of betaine HCL (stomach acid) in maintaining health in regard to eliminating toxins from the body. I googled it and it seems that bloating, gas, belching etc... can be a symptom of not enough betaine hcl in the gut. Candida, parasite infections...

    I just heard about betaine HCL supplements to boost stomach acid production and it is supposed to help in digestion and prevent conditions such as candida, also indicated for people with food allergies. It sounds like it could be detrimental to the stomach lining and I wonder if anyone has used this supplement?

    What a cool idea, I have been avoiding riding the Harley with my fiance because of such severe joint pain, but now that my pain is gone most of the time I think I will try some experimenting myself. Of course I will have to wait for fiance to heal from hernia surgery. thanks for the "crazy motorcycle healing" tip, add me to the list of crazies

    I will only buy treats for my dog that have some kind of meat as a main ingredient. I also wash my hands right after touching any dog treat or dry dog food just to be safe.

    I recently attended family wedding and ate the prime rib, salad greens and fresh cooked vegtables, also a few shrimp from the appetizer bar. No problems at all after, of course no wedding cake for me!!

    I too learned of the American Spirit brand on this forum and have begun smoking them. I buy the organic kind that I get shipped from an on-line site as this saves me big bucks. I have found that I smoke 1/3 fewer cigs now that I have switched and do not get any indication that I am getting glutened from them. hth

    I have seen the ads for the detox foot cleansing pads that you wear at night and am considering trying them and wonder if anyone on this forum has already and what results they had. should I save my money ? Is this a scam?

    In a hurry the other day, ordered from humaworm site without going to the home page first, then saw this post and checked out humaworm home page. My order was processed through paypal on aug 5th. don't know when I may receive hw products, sorry I didn't look at home page first, now can't afford another product for cleanse

    Carla, I am feeling better everyday now, Is it possible to have Herx every couple of days? I will have most of the day pain free with brain working well then experience some inflamation and some other symptom like jaw pain for a couple of hours then feel good again. Some days I will have mild cold symptoms that don't last, or a short stint of irratability...

    I wonder if I should do another round of Humaworm? I have thought about it over the past few days and wonder if it is a good idea. I have also seen what I thought may be expelled parasites double Eww!

    Carla, Right now I am taking erythromycin with doxxy, I know it may not help with lyme but there may be other infections I have developed along with lyme that erythro may target. My Dr intended for me to switch from doxxy because of constipation issues but I am taking them together, 1000 mg of erythro and 400 mg doxxy. I printed Dr B's 33 page guidelines...

    I am so sorry that you are going through so much pain. I have been there and remember times when getting into a car would be so painful that I would sit and just cry it out before being able to drive away. I can only offer this, avoiding all sugar seemed to help me with the joint pain, including no carbs, fruit at all.
  14. susieg-1
    I agree completely!! But I cannot deny how good I feel now that I am on the doxxy at this point I am trying to heal with lots of H2O, magnesium, B12, Amino acids, omega 3, D3, rest, and exercise in addition to the abx. At this point I cannot afford LLMD and hope to not have to go that route. I will be checking the Cowden protocol for herbals to help in...

    I have a clinical celiac dx, had a colonoscopy at start of symptoms but no biopsy was done, all celiac testing has been negative, but I have not done genetic testing yet.

    I printed the guidelines today to give to my PCP and hope that she will read them. I have been very careful to try to follow them myself, eg. no sugar, carbs, no caffeine, alcohol, daily exercise and daily rest, I continue to improve and am having more good days then bad, not sure how long this will continue on my current abx but as long as I feel good...

    I am of the opinion that my gluten intolerance is a complication of Lyme and not celiac or a true food allergy/intolerance. As a matter of fact, after 5 wks of antibiotics treatment for Lyme, I actually ate in a restaurant where I know that cc was an issue and have not had a reaction!! Many of my Lyme symptoms have lessened in severity since treatment began...

    I agree with your assesment of most Dr.'s lack of caring about patients. I am fortunate to live in a small town where everyone knows everyone else and my PCP is a community member whose patients are her neighbors. I think the lack of caring comes from the impersonal nature of large communities. It is not just Dr's that don't care about fellow Americans...

    thanks Sherry, I saw my PCP last week and I feel that she may be willing to continue treatment until symptoms are gone. She will happily refer to me to a LLMD a few hours away that I learned of through this forum. We agreed that as long as the treatment she is providing is working then I don't need LLMD right now especially as my insurance won't cover...

    I did too!!! Now I have a wicked craving for s piece of cheesecake...got to try this one, thanks

    Am going to PCP today and am anxious about her willingness to continue lyme treatment beyond 2 months. I have improved greatly in the last month but just found out that I should probably not be taking doxxy because I have hiatal hernia and barretts esophagus. This concern is after reading insert that came with last refill. Do you have any suggestions as...

    Super Walmart in watkins glen has gluten-free food, also some products at oak hill bulk food outside of penn yan on rt 14 A has snack food and bobs red mill mixes. This is 5min from the windmill farm and craft market a definite stop when visiting this area. wegmans in geneva, ny also has gluten-free food. I am currently in the process of starting a home...

    Thank you all for your good wishes!!! I am continuing to feel improvement although not back to my old self yet by any means. Am praying for continued recovery and think that I may have gotten lucky. It is possible I do not suffer from coinfections as so many on this forum do. I worry that when my PCP decides to stop antibiotics I will revert to suffering...

    I happened to turn on TV for local weather and channel was on regis and kelly show and regis said that Dr Laura Fischer, "an authority on tick borne illnesses" will be on show this AM. Now I will watch with interest. I hope info will be accurate but I feel any national attention to Lyme disease is great After watching the show at the end Regis informed...

    Purple, For white choc muffins couldn't you use the choc choc chip recipe and use white choc pudding, white choc chips, add frozen rasberries and leave out cocoa? seems like this would work, I would also add 2 oz cream cheese. Ummm this sounds so good I might have to try this myself
