    Some advice or insight appreciated.

    Thanks for this forum, and all your posts. I have DIY self-cured my Lyme/co-infections symptoms, and hopefully, will not be back here. It took 53 days. To me, the worst symptoms was having 40% of my normal energy at times, the brain fog that caused me to fail at normal work, the...

    Japanese forest bathing

    Last year, one of the hikers in my group said that her eye problems (from laser eye surgery, many years ago) rendered her unable to work, or drive, at times. The only cures were some eye drops (not very effective) and walking in a forest. Apparently, there are some molecules given off that...

    Bartonella solutions other than antibiotics?

    I recently read that the Japanese drug Ivermectin (Nobel Prize winner) cures Bartonella. Sorry, I don't have the link.

    People's experiences of Bartonella

    Have you read that most cats have Bart? Read somewhere to NEVER have a cat on your head. Fleas and other anthropods, even insects, can transfer Lyme and co-infections to humans. Cat saliva has Bart. Transferable, apparently.

    People's experiences of Bartonella

    I did the googling, too, and concluded that Doxy doesn't work. Look up the in vitro work, the latest. Doxy by itself won't even kill Lyme. Bart hides inside the blood cells and is 1/300 the size iirc of the Lyme pathogen. Let's all try to search for The Cure for Bart. Here's a typical...

    People's experiences of Bartonella

    A year of Doxy? Wow, there's lots of bad side effects with Doxy. Also, look up the correct dosing, per Will Wiegmann PhD and the Johns Hopkins Lyme site -- it differs vastly from the standard 200 mg /daily.

    People's experiences of Bartonella

    In the latest news or science in lymedisease.org (an org that censors comments and posts that are apprently not pro-pharma, imo) Bartonella is said to be more prevalent than any of the Lyme and its co-infections.

    Is Bartonella Eradication Worth it?

    You asked a very smart question, given the very costly and non-productive results of Yolanda Hadid featured in the New York Post. My answer to your question is Yes, with a "however". However, you'll have to find the cure in alt-medicine, perhaps Chinese, perhaps Edgar Cayce, perhaps a vet's...

    Teasel Root - Experiences?

    I'm spending lots of time as well, to not let my Lyme (early stage, I beat it) go into chronic Lyme. Bartonella probably in, already. The 2017 information especially the New York Post on Yolanda Hadid and the Will Wiegmann Protocol success found in a GoFundMe patient, imo, militates that an...

    Bartonella solutions other than antibiotics?

    There's a very long and detailed blog by an Irish writer with the URL containing "delusionalinsects" (delusional insects). It's exceptionally detailed and very well put together. It contains his personal medical history and the general failure of Western Medicine. And much, much more. At the...

    Sorry to hear about your Lyme which has gone chronic thru no fault of your own. I'm also looking into **timely** natural remedies.

    Bartonella solutions other than antibiotics?

    Thanks. The "oxidation" treatment seems counter to all the anti-oxidants that I'm taking. Confusing. Btw, I prefer to listen to patients who got cured (e.g. Karen Allen -- if you know other real people who got cured, please post, since those are good to know) rather than doctors/healers.

    Went to a doctor too for something like this. The MD said not a bug bite, but a woman in the waiting room told me that it's a bite, and she was mis-diagnosed by 4 MD's, in 9 months. There are many kinds of mites. If one of them gives you Bartonella, then it's really bad, like my friend here...
