I am in the midst of finding and gathering information on this topic since it comes up often. Please email us with any resources you have on the topic. I have used and it was prescribed by my doctor to a compounding pharmacy. "Evaluation of the inhibitory effect of ivermectin on the growth of Babesia and Theileria parasites in vitro and in vivo" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6625054/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/ivermectin "

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

We have been asked many times to cover this topic. We hope this helps with some resources to understand.

For those with Medicare, they cover IGENEX, GALAXY and REAL TIME LABS. For Igenex, have an MD sign the order. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover ND orders. I found it is best to get my Lyme literate doctor to fill out the orders and then take them to my primary to fill out the rest of the paperwork. In order for Medicare to cover Real Time labs it must be ordered by a practitioner. You can definitely self order Real Time labs in most states (not all unfortunately) but

Lyme disease is in the Infectious Disease doctor category. When I first received all of my results 10 years ago, I tried frantically to reach out to 25 DIFFERENT Infectious Disease doctors. My neurologist and cardiologist ALSO sent referrals because I was CDC positive for Lyme. NONE of them would let me make an appointment. I mean every single one of them said either one of two things... "Sorry, we can't/aren't allowed to treat Lyme." "We can't see you in our office. Yes

For many years I worked very hard to gather attorney names from patients who won their cases across all the groups I run. Since I did not speak to each attorney with permission to distribute publicly, I prefer to distribute names by email instead. So, if you would like that information, please email me below.

I learned about this from my Lyme literate doctor, and found it especially helpful for neck, back and spine pain. It is an amazing magnesium lotion for pain. They have also generously done giveaways in my groups, so I appreciate the company for that as well.

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

This questionnaire is a great starting point if you suspect you may have Lyme. It is one of the reasons I got tested in the first place.

Here are articles where science has proven Lyme is in California (it's in every state but these are California focused). I had multiple doctors tell me it didn't exist in California when I was seeking answers. Sadly, many doctors in many states attempt to dismiss patients with saying this. They simply need to be educated. https://www.lymedisease.org/new-rickettsial-pathogen-calif/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFL7SpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHdMswV8PrOs4SaPJQbz0hP-hc3fllveXAgBrKycv_BMO2aXRJJ5k3xIAjQ

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

Do you have a hard time falling asleep? When I was at my worst in this disease, I would have intense anxiety going to bed because I was filled with fear due to symptoms when I would lay down. I was shaky and in extreme pain so I couldn't shut my brain off and get to sleep. I needed to sleep to heal and escape. So, this exact audio is what finally helped me go into a trance and I would go into a deep sleep. There are many and she is amazing but this one in particular helped

“If you want to get a continuous beneficial effect from your probiotics, you should change probiotics every three months or with the seasons,” says Paulina Lee, RD, LD of Savvy Stummy. “If you were to take the same probiotic all year round, it may lose its effectiveness and even lend itself to gut dysbiosis by creating an imbalance of the very diversity you were trying to create.” By heeding her three-month rotating schedule, Lee says you’ll have a better chance to maintain h
