This paragraph made me wonder if the reason I feel better (not 100%) is because of the hot weather.
"For many reasons (not only financial), Lyme patients decide to try herbs, or many other types of treatment such as HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen treatment), rife machines, Vitamin C and salt, or other compelling treatments. For example, Matthew Wood, the renowned herbalist I spoke with a couple weeks ago, tells us he's treating Lyme successfully with the common herb, teasel, and that instead of killing the bacteria, teasel warms up the body's environment and lures the bacteria out from its hiding places to be killed off by the body's own immune defense system."
When I feel comfortable (85-90 degrees) others are complaining about the heat. I never get warm in the winter, but love it hot in the summer.
Maybe I'll switch to teasel when it gets cold again.
Anyone have luck with teasel and no antibiotics?
I'm on doxy and Buhner now, but might try treating myself with teasel when my doxy prescription runs out and maybe not go to to LLMD since I'm not seriously ill right now.

Yeah, I often wondered if an induced fever would be helpful but it comes with its own set of consequences.
Teasel is an interesting idea, especially for those struggling with low body temp.
Temp issues sometimes revolve around underfunctioning thyroid and adrenal glands though...
