A Befe unit / Aqua Chi machine will help with the feet issues.
You soak your feet in them to rid "toxins".
What do I think of nutritional IVs?
Sometimes they are very necessary and helpful.
Esp. the "Myers' Cocktail" which was *invented by* John Myer of Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Gaby further developed it.
Spending the thousands/tens of thousands of dollars for treatment is (very sadly) not uncommon.
PLEASE give your holistic doc a print out of my post linking the benefits of berberine.
All the links are from reputable sources.
Point...links...point...links...
It is mind blowing - the benefits.

I believe the burning feet is typically bart.
Cipro and levaquin helped a bit but nothing to jump up and down for. What helped me the most was Mino with Rifampin. I had to ramp up as it really hit hard.
When I could no longer do mino, I did zith with the rifampin. I tolerated that much better but maybe because the bacteria load was down.
Hope this helps. The headache between your eyes may also be a part of it or possibly sinus inflammation?

What helped me the most with burning neck and head was IV Rocephin. What worked better was Doxy and Biaxin, key ingredient being Doxy. I had it to the extreme where I could barely walk very far with pressures so extreme that I wanted to blow my brains out.
I also had the feeling that something was lodged in my head and migrating headaches. It was very weird. One day headache was more frontal, next day on top, and on the third day in the back and base of skull. Then on the fourth back to temporal/ the front again.
Warning that Doxy causes increased intercranial pressure and I felt like it was going sky high and I almost wanted to stop. I am so glad I kept going, and by week 2-3 things started to melt away. All headaches and neck pain went away for a while, until I stopped and changed meds, then they started to come back gradually and almost in the same order that it disappeared in.
Do you feel any vibrations or tremors? Any in your head?

Parasites/worms play a MAJOR part in Lyme disease and is often overlooked even by the best LLMDs.
Check out the symptom list at Humaworm. Antiparasitic tx such as Ivermectin and abendazole seems to be helping many here when abx did not.
LOTS of antiparasitic herbs such as Humaworm, Parastroy, Hanna Kroeger Wormwood Combo, extra cloves, digestive enzymes etc plus the salt/c protocol saved my life and got rid of the Filarial Worm co-infection carried by many ticks and pictured on www.lymephotos.com
Do a search on here for parasites and also google it. Tx has to be continuous and can take several yrs whether pharma or herbs.
