My LLND has me use the Pure Encapsulations brand of Grapefruit Seed Extract. (See picture) 60 caps for $15.99 on Fullscript discount found below. Very affordable supplement with multiple benefits as seen in the resources below.
GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT (GSE)
"In very specific concentrations, it showed remarkable ability to stop spirochetes from being mobile in just one hour by breaking off the tails of the spirochetes rendering them immobile, or by causing them to become irregularly shaped. It also showed a 90% ability to rupture the round form."
"Common herbs found individually or mixed together that promote yeast removal include: Pau D'arco, caprylic acid, rosemary oil, thyme oil, garlic, and grapefruit seed extract. "
"In vitro evaluation showed that grapefruit seed extract (GSE) can be a powerful agent against spirochetes and the cysts of Borrelia afzelii ACA-1 when applied in the range of concentration between 0.165% and 0.00032%. Susceptibility testing of mobile spirochetes exposed to GSE for 1 h revealed lack of motile bacteria at concentrations of 0.041%, and at concentration of 0.165%, they either completely dissolved or displayed a degenerated shape."
COMMON RX SOLUTIONS:
Tindamax
Flagyl
Plaquenil
These are usually pulsed 3 days on 4 days off
(I never used them personally)
UNDERSTANDING CYST FORMS:
"So Lyme infection has two different looks, or forms. One form is the spirochete and the other is a microscopic cyst. Spirochetes can morph into cysts and cysts into spirochetes. Cysts are sometimes referred to as L-forms and round bodies. An effective approach must address both forms."

"We have to use cystic drugs that could be Plaquenil or grapefruit seed extract."
"Grapefruit seed extract (GSE), an antifungal, can also be useful for cystic forms of borrelia."
