I went on gasser protocal for 2 days now, just checked my blood.
1 bleb...but it was dormant.
NO hatchlings.
No adults.
Rulide 600mg 2X a day, and 2 Bactrim DS 2x a day.
Thats it!!

So, James, you gave up on the MMS and lauricidin? I am confused. You change treatments so much how do you really know what is working?
Even if you do not see lyme in the blood, it can be deep in the tissues where your microscope won't find it and so constant blood analysis really does not mean too much.

James, how do you access such a wide supply of drugs? Is your LLMD that willing to switch protocols?

Well, I lightly dusted a slide with rulide and bactrim a few days before, and the bugs in my blood died within 1 minute.
However, I also lightly dusted a slide with GSE and all bugs except for one lyme hatchling also all died. Abeit in about 2 mins, rather then 1.
Today, I have bowel movements that suggest...massive die-off.
I also could consider my travels to higher evevations as a possible aid to the die-off...as I drove to wisconson which is higher, and has sudden deep hills. I did feel alot of tingling in my right brain going up and down those hills.
Yes, actually my doc is alot like me, he knows there is a tough bug here, and that where in trouble.
I have shared with him what I have done, and he dont ague about it.
Dont forget, I have almost never taken anything that is risky. For EX. Ketek...etc

James, in what way does higher elevation kill off bugs?
When I drove my grandmother to NC, as soon as I drove up the mountains in Knoxville, my fibro pain started up (I had been pain free). After a little while, the pain was so intense I had to take a prescription painkiller as I thought there was a greater danger in the distraction from the pain than from the side effects of the drug.
When we got to NC I took some Advil on top of that (the other was Norco, like a strong Vicodin).
The next day I still felt bad and couldn't wait to get out of there, even though I'd have loved to have seen my grandmother longer.
As soon as I drove down the mountains in Knoxville, I felt better, but tired, which could have been from the two days of driving.
So, I know what a "dive" does .... what does an increase in elevation do?
Posted by SForsgren (Member # 7686) on :
Higher elevations -> less oxygen -> more active Borrelia -> more symptoms (not die off)

Thanks, Scott, that was more along the lines of what I though when it was happening. I was just surprised by the immediate impact it had.

I have a micrcosope so I can see whats happening to my blood cells in realtime.
This is what I have noticed.
HBOT, even mild as I dive only to about 3PSI. The blood jumps..much more...jumping is an indication that the killer cells are spitting enzimes out at invaders...these enzimes are made by the immune system and are made speciifally for certain invaders...the enzime formula changes as ordered by the immune system.
Two...I see the blood is LOOSER, or...not all stuck together. This is also good.
It appears after my trip...today too, that the blood is on track for recovery.
I surely have let the abx expire, yet theres very few blebs and a couple of hatchlings. thats it today.
So I believe that just changing of outside presure stirs up the blood so the immune system sees more infection and attacks more.
So, it stirs up the blood I believe...thats why we seem to herx harder during trips I believe.

I disagree with scott...while higher elevations would surely lead to LESS oxygen..I dont believe thats what is at play here.
I was not on top of a mountain, and I didnt stay long, so I dought I LOST much oxygen.
I do believe it stired up the blood got the invaders moving around...then the immune system kicked in and started killing.
Thats my take.
Scott, did you check you blood with a phase contrast scope to see this effect?
I did.
I am not commenting on this topic again.

I also saw a NK cell just now dragging around a lyme belb.

hello, good luck with your treatment, review the articles of gasser, if you only go to atack borrelia in gasser protocoal is enough take thrimetoprim, that stop the speed of borrelia in tissue and be captured by slower neutrophills; in articles sulphametoxazole don't make anything against borrelia, and can develop urine stones because make it in acid ph, watch for your ph urine and drink water; i tried but stopped at two months because major bone and muscle herx by thrimetoprim; in my case roxitromycin was safer than azithromycin; good luck
