My LLMD recommended this over a year ago and I did not try it. I am learning as time goes on he always seems to be one step ahead and now I am reading about this everywhere.
Has anyone tried Nano-Particle Chitosan for herxing? I have heard a lot about this lately and wondered if any of you have anything good or bad to say about it. This is not meant for those with shellfish allergies. It sounds amazing reading these links:

I have not tried it yet, but did purchase a bottle...

Hi Scott - I have a sample bottle of the powder form and it isn't the nano particle, (it is just Chitosan) that is suppose to be the best because it gets into the blood.
Let me know how you like it.
Take care.

Wow lymebytes, this sounds like an amazing product. Are you going to start on it?
Please keep us posted!

Interesting. Btw, how many of you have the "Glutathione S-Transferase deficiency" that is mentioned in the first article? I do. Maybe this product might be worth a shot.

Interesting.....How about this? I just googled nanoparticle chitosan and came up with this. The plot thickens!
Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles
If I knew it didn't interact with anything else, I'd make my husband a guinea pig with this.

I am taking NanoTek Chitosan from Allergy Research Group aka Nutricology. It is SO GOOD I just wrote them an email saying it was the best thing I've ta en for herx's in 10 years of tx for chronic lyme. I just ordered 2 more bottles! I was on Levaquin, Cat's Claw and Arteminisin for Bart and Babs and was just dying. This helped within a few days, and the one day I forgot to take it boy could I tell the difference. Keep an eye out, I got some info from them on how to take it with the other 2 that I am going to post today or tomorrow.

Sounds great. Can't wait to read your info, valbeth.

I am in the midst of trying it right now -- so far, nothing dramatic, if anything!
I'm having bad ear, teeth, brain pain with sl dizziness. Can't tell that it does anything.
I am checking out that my progesterone might be low, oontributing to the pain/inflammation.
Also trying the Fibroboost from Allergy Research -- it has ecklonia cava -- supposedly a super-antioxidant. Can't tell that it is doing anything either, fwiw....

Mtnwoman how much are you taking, and when? What abx are you on?
Posted by mtnwoman (Member # 8385) on :
Valbeth,
I am in the midst, hopefully coming out of some bad neuro symptoms. I am confused if I need to be on or off abx, so I am hedging, just taking minocin 100mg 2x/d every other day.
I have been taking the Nanotek Chitosan 1, 2-3 times a day. And the Fibroboost (ecklonia cava) 2, 2-3 times a day.
As I mentioned above. I think that this bad flare has been exacerbated, by low brain progesterone levels, relative to the estradiol that I take. Progesterone can be a neuroprotectant and I think I got low. Still some brain sizzling but nothing like the prior days.
