LLMD previously had me on Tindamax three weeks ago...I only tolerated a week and got a terrible yeast infection.
Had my liver enzymes checked 3 weeks ago and again yesterday. They were extremely elevated 3 weeks ago, still elevated yesterday.
The only thing I'm doing is rife, quina, noni and have done Artimisin maybe 1-2 pills a week.
I've been experiencing horrible pain from lyme and need to do some thing.
Any suggestions on what else I could do to bring enzymes down and what else I can take to treat my lyme disease?
I have babs and bartonella too.

don't discount the herbs as possibly being the problem (the disease could be, too).
Milk thistle herb and turmeric are herbs that can help bring down elevated liver enzymes.

Artemisinin can be hard on the liver. Also, I think that Ehrlichia can cause elevated liver tests, but am not positive about this. You may have this too but the tests may not show it.
Have you taken any drugs which might hit Ehrlichia (Doxy or Rifampin)?

Do not rule out rife to contribute to live enzymes elevated.
But if you keep using liver support frequencies it can help it too.
Also whatever detox modalities that have worked for you keep doing and make sure you do them consistently. That can be the hardest part. WE tend to do them for emergencies and stop when we feel better.
There have been other threads and including me lately and have had a commone theme that I think is correct in saying that we have to get our bodies flowing and detoxing before we can be killing off and adding more to our toxic load.
If you find what works for you it will be obvious because you will start feeling better and you will just know it that your ready to kill off those bugs. By then you will know too what it feels like to herx and how long it will take to clear out those toxins again.. That is why pulsing is helpful to some of us who have this issue. You can kinda track what is doing what and when and how.. Getting a feel for our own bodies is so empowering.
For years I felt like I was spitting in the wind. Once I figure out the dance my body is playing I could step with it and figure out what is what (for the most part) Still many puzzling aspects...
But the concept is that your body has to flow and move and many of us are stuck. And then when we treat we add to the load and then we are even worse and we keep trying and trying and adding and adding.
Find ways to subtract the stuff from your body and do just that for a good while would be my idea.
Overall its an idea that I think is important for many.. Some people do not have to worry so much about this but some do big time.

I'll obviously keep trying different things.
Springshowers I didn't realize that rife could make your liver enzymes high.
Previously I did ask that question but obviously others didn't knwot he answer to that question.
I've tried milke thistle, detox teas specifically for liver/kidney, epson salt baths, water with lemon and castor oil packs in the past.
I also have pain in that area which has me extremely worried.
I didn't take noni or quina today. Decided to back off of those a bit.
Will try tge detox frequencies on the rife tomorrow.
