I read a well known GWS researcher suggested lipid replacement and would like to know more about that. AS well some here have mentioned C-salts what is that a treatment or supplement.
Thanks, RG

I don't know about C salt, but I have had several rounds of lipid exchange therapy, with great results. Look up phosphatidyl choline in medical literature and you will see there is a lot of research proving its benefits. (Plastic surgeons are also using the phosphatidyl choline to break up cellulite unfortunately, making it hard to come by now.)
Good luck.

If you do a search for "phospholipid exchange" here, you will find many discussions. The oral phospholipid exchange is one of my doctor's favorites.
www.Lymephotos.com will give you the background and info on Salt & C protocol.
Lypo-Spheric� Vitamin C is encapsulated in liposomes made from phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine is a class of essential phospholipids required by the human body for repair and normal maintenance of every cell in the body.
Recommended by my LLMD. I have ordered it but not tried it yet.

GiGi:
The OP asked about C-Salts, NOT salt and vitamin C protocol.
THere is a BIIGGGGG difference in the two.
I have been the one who has posted several times about C-Salts. But never as a thread, only when replying to other's posts.
I had tremendous stomach pain and nausea BEFORE I ever started my CURRENT treatment for Lyme and whatever else I may have.
I had to start out really slow on the herbs because of it last November 25th. I was able to gradually up my dosage of them by late December of 2005, to my maximum dosage of 4 capsules, three time a day; but nothing seemed to help the severe pain and nausea in my stomach.
Then I added Tetracycline to the mix and it got worse. At the end of 28 days, I stopped for a week and then put in Doxycyline. It was about the same for the first week, but then got so bad that I could not even finish my 28 day regimen, so stopped after 24 days. I was totally miserable and felt like death was imminent. (thought maybe it was cancer or something).
So I reread a lot of Stephen Buhner's "Healing Lyme", and discovered the C-Salts which I glossed over the first time. He has a nice section on how important vitamin C in large doses is in healing Lyme and also about the C-Salts.
The C-Salts is a trademark of Nutrition Wholesale. You can find out more by going to nutri.com in Google.
Well let me tell you; After a week or two of taking them three times a day, for a total of 3000 to 4000mg a day; mixed with water, juice, and Red Root tincture, (I now have added Periwinkle tincture also), made my stomach feel almost normal again. I have continued taking them faithfully EVERY DAY since then and my stomach feels wonderful. Course I have NOT gone back on to any abx as you may well know.
I have also cut down on my herbs now to about half, or slightly more, than the maximum dose I was at for about 4 months.
I do not think that I am cured yet, but I feel about the same as before I cut back on them, and I actually feel pretty good most days now, so will continue like this for awhile and see how it goes.
People the C-Salts do you absolutely NO GOOD IF you don't take them. I took mine the very first day I got them. I could hardly wait to take them. WHAT is the holdup with you all? You certainly must not feel as bad as I did, or you would JUMP at the chance to get them into your system.
Be sure to follow the directions carefully. ONLY I VARIED from the 1 teaspoon of C-Salts, and take about a 1/3rd teaspoon in about 1 ounce of water, wait a few seconds until you hear the fizzing quit, then add enough water to make have of an 8 ounce glass. THEN I add the Red Rood and Periwinkle tinctures, and twice a day I am now adding one (1) drop of Oregano oil, which is very strong; and then I fill the glass with 100%fruit juice stir WELL, then use it as a drink when I am taking my herbs after my meal, THREE (3) times a day. FAITHFULLY.
IT WORKS! At least for me, and wonderfully.

Jim, very sorry I misread.

I want to add, that Vitamin C is very important in treating Lyme Disease.
I was on Vitamin C for many, many years, even before I contracted Lyme; in the form of Ascorbic Acid, at 500mg a day, unless I was feeling like a flu bug or whatever coming on, then would up it to 1 to 2 thousand mg a day.
My stomach seemed fine all those years. BUT I feel that the Ascorbic acid along WITH the Lyme disease, caused my stomach to go away. Probably ate at the lining. Not totally sure.
But I do know that when I started the C-Salts every day, my stomach got better. I do NOT take the ascorbic acid in pill form anymore. AND NEVER WILL again.
Buy your C-Salts in the largest bottle, it is MUCH cheaper by the dose tha way. Close to half. I bought my bottle months ago, but it is getting pretty empty now, so need to reorder very soon.
You can check out nurtri.com on the net for info and phone number, but don't order that way. CALL THEM on their 800 number. They are really nice to deal with and they mail it out right away, postage free, and you will soon be on your way to better health.
