Thought I would give a quick update with some excellent news for a change. I have officially been on this homeopathic/natural remedy treatment for about 2 months. My Dr. reran all my labs and there were tremendous improvements. She was very pleased to see such a jump and I of course am on cloud 9.
So my Cd57 went from 50 up to 75. She said this is a great sign that my immune system is awake and becoming active again to fight the Lyme. My C-reactive protein which was at 38 (on a range of 0-3), which is outrageous, went to 28 last month and is now at 8.5!! This is super exciting.
Also my Epstein Barr titers and CMV titers decreased for the first time in years. My streptozyme is in the negative. And the most exciting thing of all�..I finally got that positive Western Blot through Lab Corp at that!CDC positive finally! She said Sonora and labcorp are the hardest to get a positive Lyme test. I have had this test several times before and it was always negative�.now full blown positive. She said this is a great sign, as the body now recognizes the Lyme and is fighting, were as before it was dormant and hiding, thus never showing on a test.
So this is all great news, and I have decided I will stay with her treatment path since it is working. She claims that she will keep running labs every 2 months to make sure we are on the right track to improvement. I don�t feel that much better, but she said it takes 6-8 months to feel the difference. I feel I have to at least give her a chance now, as the data doesn�t lie. And I will be the first to say I was a bit skeptical of this homeopathic all natural path. There are plenty of people who say this is BS, but I am proof thus far!

Yay for you! This is good news! Keep at it. It always feels good to see measurable progress through our labs.
Another thought I'd like to share -- consider looking into parasites. This, for me, has been the biggest breakthrough since I started with all this mess 16++ years ago. I had no clue I had a parasite issue until I started treating and all hell broke loose. Now I am feeling soooo much better. Check out some of my past posts.
Wishing you continued success!!

She has me on a lot of things. The list includes: sulphur, cats claw, adrenal support, live probiotics, garlicin, l lysine, vit c, vit d, raw multivitamin, fish oil. She has me pulsing these five days on and two days off...in addition to Epsom salt baths on my two days off. She has recommended some yoga and stretching to increase my circulation which I need to start doing. Overall my labs show the improvements. I am still extremely tired but a lot of my pain has subsided. Hoping for some more improvements in two more months when we redo the labs. Posts: 148 | From AZ | Registered: Sep 2011

To momwithhope....yes herbal and homeopathic. She was telling me these are just as strong as pharmaceutical meds. Cats claw is equivalent to doxy...and she will be putting me on banderol soon. L lysine is an antiviral the same as acyclovir. Garlic is also anti inflammatory and antiviral. Whatever these all do..it seems to be working. Forgot to include that I take charcoal caps on my detox days as well.
