Rise Above Lyme Blog

When I was at my sickest, or even now when I need better nutrition, I often lean on nutritional powders. They help my energy levels and my general health when my diet is not at its best. I also find them to be a great tool when traveling, as making the best food choices can be hard. Oftentimes, I did not get enough nutrition because I lacked the energy to prepare food, and other times it was because we needed to get to the store. This helps me fill in those gaps, and I try t

Lysine is an extremely common mention, especially in the EBV group. I have put a few related blogs at the bottom. I want to always thank Toni H. for always being so helpful to the community (and me) on this important topic. "Lysine is directly antiviral and that includes EBV and other herpes viruses. In fact, lysine is one of the most effective antiviral supplements for herpes simplex, including cold sores, canker sores, and genital herpes (Walsh et al., 1983). I’ve seen it

Because many sources of Vitamin C can actually raise your histamine levels, you want to avoid certain forms of Vitamin C. You also need to pick according to your sensitivity to oxalates. I happen to deal with both, so I am doing this project to help guide others and for my myself. Trying to read through long articles to get to the main recommendations takes time and I'm here to save you time and get to the beef of it all. Top recommendations by top resources on histamine issu

I was SUPER EXCITED to learn about this MOOD TONIC by VITANICA. A product called Sunny Moods had always been my go-to but hated the size of pills plus they added some ingredients I could no longer use. I could never find a comparable formula. So, my LLND sent this when I asked for tincture. I've used this brand many times.  Great ingredients, lemon balm, passionflower and rhodiola. 25% off here, including this brand: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/theriseabovelyme

This is my absolute go-to. Works amazing and I highly recommend if you are sensitive to probiotics and have histamine issues. Since I struggled with SIBO off and on, this was super helpful. During my last appointment, my LLND said it was time to rotate my probiotic. I was super excited to try this one to further help histamine issues. He really talked it up.  Not sure if it's new or I just never knew of it. It has MAJORLY helped. I will also add this to the histamine intol

Attention to my SIBO and IBS friend- I have used these many times over the years. Always works for me. One summer while trying to save money, I stopped early. My Lyme doctor puts me on this for SIBO or suspected SIBO. It takes a few bottles- three on average for me. One bottle won't cut it.  FYI: ATRANTIL 90 caps is cheapest on Fullscript Amazon: $39.95 Fullscript below: $29.99 ❤️ Best price I found.

As many of you know, living in a mold environment or even visiting one is horrible for us and can prevent healing. I found this company years ago and love their products and use them.  They have a spray for surfaces, a laundry additive, and a candle proven by Real Time labs.  I figured it was worth sharing in case you are stuck in mold temporarily and/or moving out of it and have fear when you move to a new place. I appreciate the company who has generously done giveaways in
