I have chronic lyme disease and am needing to decide my next course of treatment. I have taken 5 months of a combination of doxy, rifampin and then flagyl and need further treatment. I am presently considering either intravenous hydrogen peroxide or IV ceftriaxone. There are risks with both and so neither seems like a great alternative! Am interested particularly in hearing from those who have tried or know about the IV hydrogen peroxide. How dangerous is it? How helpful at killing the lyme? How does it compare with the ceftriaxone?

I did hydrogen peroxide for about 10-12 weeks it worked along with my antibiotics but as you can see I'm still treating lyme, so it didn't last.

I'm doing IV peroxide. Normally it gives me some relief from my severe joint pain, but today it actually seems to have made it worse. Maybe that means I'm herxing a little. I've probably done 5-7 of these IVs. I would be surprised if this were the thing that finally killed off the Lyme for me. I am really at the doctor's office every week for IV EDTA, and the doc wanted to try this. I'm paying him enough so I figured I might as well try it. I think it can damage your veins if you run it in too fast.

I did IV hydrogen peroxide for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome years ago.
It was supposed to raise natural killer cells, which it did to a small degree. The hydrogen peroxide is very tough on your veins; basically blew out my veins in my arms. The benefit was minor, and I would never do it again.

I would never do that one. (peroxide) If it were the cure, we'd know by now. And as bailey said, it's dangerous.

I have one doc recommending this, and another recommending ozone where they take out your blood and put the ozone in your blood before putting it back.
I have heard the H2O2 is hard on the veins, and have heard of at least one case where it was extraordinarily helpful for someone seriously ill with lyme (this person was near death and it pulled them away from that, don't know if it cured them). I am hoping the ozone will be gentler and am leaning toward that one.

We (my daughter) did this for about 12 treatments, along with vitamin C and HCL. I didn't see great improvements, but she did digress when we stopped everything. I am aware of others who have improved with this treatment.
Her veins were really suffering; not sure if it was from so many IV's or what was in them.
I wish I could do ozone IV myself, but I don't know where they offer it, and I'm afraid it's probably very expensive.

did it. didn't notice any good being done, it made my arm HURT. my veins suffered. did it once a week.
i also had HCL and vitamin C, B and magnesium loaded in there too. (HCL and Peroxide were alternated, never taken together)
