I am back justl to see how every body is doing. I actually am one of the lucky ones if you don't know me. I had first contact in 1993 andwas a dentist for 25 years. I was misdiagnosed and undiagnosed for 7 years prior to treatment. 5 years of treatment and have been in remission for almost 12 years. I have a bout of of Lyme about twice a year which is controlled with Zithromax , diflucan, plaquenil and acyclovir. Take this for 10 days. So there is hope to get better. Don't give up, it's a long battle and took years to go into remission but it can be done. Never give up hope, I was as anybody here, non ambulatory, No brain function, knee replacement, fibro, CFS . Most have left but left damage. Just want to let the newbies know my story. Sorry if I posted in wrong area. You can contact me if you want any of my expertise info. Docdave

Hello, Doc Dave. Nice to have you visiting. Have heard of other cases like yours, with attacks once or twice a year, knocked down,OK again. Wish I was in that situation.

Lookup, checked the ingredients in this and it is mostly calcium, phosphorus and manganese. Have not heard of many people taking the last two. Lyme bacteria are said to use manganese instead of iron, but I don't think we can stop taking minerals that we need on that account. Maybe the reason our teeth are in bad shape, mine too, is because the lyme bacteria are using the minerals we need. Lyme uses up magnesium too, which is why we have to pile it on to make up for that deficiency.

Hey, Doc Dave! I do remember you! Good to know you are doing okay.
Speaking of that, I remember a cartoon with a bird, labeled "The bluebird of okay-ness". That seemed to describe the hope of Lyme disease patients back then, - sadly, it still does…
But I digress… - Charge that off to Lyme disease, too.
Anyway, glad you came back, and thanks for the update and info on how you cope with relapses.

Another remineralization product I think is excellent is Ultra Body Toddy, with 72 minerals in it from ancient Utah seabeds. Whenever I take it, my nails get hard, so I think that's a good sign.
