Almost every blood test I've had in the last 8 years, even before Lyme, my Bilirubins have been a little high. I don't have #'s in front of me. My Doc always said it wasn't that high and not to worry about it. Anyway, what could cause that? Could Candida?

It can, but honestly, it might not.
who knows. I have candida too and it sucks big time.
I would lean more towards babesia or erlichia. but hey, if you feel really good now ( which I think you do) lean towards what you know you have.
Uh.. herxing a bit. I just made no sense

It is my understanding that bilirubin gets filtered out of the blood by the liver and that levels can creep up when the liver is over worked, like with lyme, candida and all the meds we need to take.
It is also my understanding that flushing plenty of good quality water through the system gives the liver the best opportunity possible to lower bilirubins levels in the blood. I also think, my mind is getting a bit fuzzy here, that ph plays a roll, one of the reasons for eating lots of green veggies.
