What Homeopathic remedies have helped with bartonella? specificallly Pain in souls of feet.... Is Ledum helpful?
Posted by BobG (Member # 39642) on :
Some homeopaths use colloidal silver. A recent and very good research paper shows it is effective against Gram negatives (like Bart and Bb), especially when combined with antibiotics. However, it is probably effective in its own right.
I personally don't think you can be cured of Bart without antibiotics.

- IMO, homeopathics alone are not enough - for any tick-borne infection. Homeopathics may help for some symptom relief, though.
Ledum has very limited use.
Find a LL ND (naturopathic doctor) who is ILADS educated if you are interested in various alternatives. IMO, they MUST be ILADS-educated so they understand the science of all this and know when Rx is required, and have a full education about all things herbal, etc.
Not all NDs are trained in homeopathics, though, but some are. Again, the criteria for anyone with whom you consult is that they be ILADS educated, regardless of the kind of medicine they practice. -

- after other treatment failures, one young woman's successful experience with homeopathy & herbal support treatment.
Just stay with her as she takes us through how she succeeded. She said it "worked miracles" - very authentic. Very hopeful.
(Parental caution for those with young children near your computer as you watch: there are few "adult" words near the end. Totally in context and within reason, yet perhaps not best for young ears.)

Razzle suggests reading this book: "The Homeopathic Treatment of Lyme Disease" by Peter Alex -

- I've been unable to access any kind of LL doctor (beyond a few consults years ago). What I have found that really made a difference for the intense sole pain is:
I learned about Berberine after the Andrographis helped my feet get better . . . and Berberine helps so much with overall pain that it might also be helpful for the sole pain.
WHY you need an ILADS "educated" or "minded" Lyme Literate doctor (whether MD or ND, or both) - starting with assessment / evaluation.
Medical "models" explained here, as to differences in the ISDA & ILADS models of assessment & treatment - and exactly why it is so very important to know the differences. -

Based on my energetic tests Ledum is not effective for Bartonella, but rather for Borrelia. Have you looked into Deseret Biologics homeopathic Bartonella series?
