Have been on abx for over a year and my body hasn't always been happy with that course of treatment. Was wondering if anyone did low dose abx along with other alternative therpaies and if so, what alternative therapies have helped or worked?
I've tried Cats Claw and arteminisn but not long term along with a long list of supplements recommened on newcomers information.

Vitamin C seems to be working fine i high doses (5-15 g per day).
It kept in a good shape at the time when I couldn't take ABX because of fungus.

I take many herbs now. Just started about 3 weeks ago, so not CURED yet, but definitely better. No antibiotics yet for this stint.
I do take 500 to 1,000mg of vitamin C a day, however, I concern myself even with that much because it is VERY hard on the stomache, and I have been having trouble with it for about 5 or 6 weeks. Could be from the C, or maybe the Lyme?

My husband recently went to an ENT. He has had chronic sinus problems for years and the Ent believes that surgery to correct a deviated septum would improve his sinus condition.
To keep his sinus condition "in check" my husband takes 4 oregano capsules in the am & pm. The ENT asked him to stop those and to try mucinex & singulair for his sinuses.
Within 24 hours my husband had horrible joint pain, flu symptoms and irritability. Within 48 hours he was raging and I had the most miserable of men. We thought it was from the new sinus meds so he stopped taking those and went back to the oregano capsules. He was back to himself within a few hours (12-15) which we thought confirmed our thinking.
The next week - last week - we received his report back from Igenex, he is both Igenex & CDC positive. Four of his lyme bands are double positive, band 31 is IGg quad positive. You wouldn't know it . . .
Do I think the oregano has cured anything? No I do think it is a good support herb. I take it help control yeast and help kill other fungal, bacteria.

May Render Colloidal Silver and Other Nano Silver Technologies Obsolete
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Invision International Health Solutions, Inc., a pioneer in the field of ionic silver use in humans, recently announced the issuance of a U.S. Patent on its "Ionic Silver Complex" technology. The technology is also patented in Australia and New Zealand, and patents are pending in Europe and Japan. The patents provide broad composition-of- matter protection, covering a wide range of complexing agents and counter-ions. The use of ionic silver in human use goes back hundreds -- indeed thousands -- of years. During the past century, it was predominantly used in the medical field in the forms of silver nitrate and colloidal silver -- which has been increasingly used during the past few decades. In Europe, pharmacists have silver compounds listed in their desk references for many uses. In the U.S., recent university studies are suggesting far-reaching potential benefits of ionic silver. The past few years have seen a surge in the number of medical and industrial products that deliver silver ions, for a wide range of uses. Whether colloidal silver, silver-impregnated bandages and wound dressings, coatings for surfaces in hospitals and homes, or catheters and IV needles, the goal is the controlled delivery of silver as ions. Delivery is a function of the bonding agent -- the complexing or compounding agent -- which controls the release of the silver as ions in the given environment at the desired rate. Invision has already incorporated the patented technology into a water-based dietary supplement called Silver 100. The key ingredient in Silver 100 is called Opti-Silver -- silver ions complexed with citrate and potassium for optimal delivery of silver ions in the human body. According to Jay Newman, president of Invision International, the patented technology represents a quantum leap in delivering silver ions internally to the human body. "We chose citrate because we believe it is, by far, the ideal carrier for efficient delivery of silver ions for human use," Newman said, "based on years of effort and research that required millions of dollars invested." Potassium is used as the counter-ion for equilibrium in the water. "Silver 100 uses all-natural ingredients and is intended to provide an entirely safe product that introduces less silver to the body than what may exist in a person's average drinking water intake -- but as active ions." "We believe the compounds in colloidal silver have bonds that are too strong and thus release only a small percentage of their silver as ions in the body," Newman said, "while products called 'ionic' or 'nano' are usually just colloidal silver -- or are common substances like silver nitrate thrown in water and, as such, the bonds are far too weak to carry the silver ions into the body. Colloidal silver is manufactured through a crude, antiquated process called electrolysis. Many companies promote colloidal silver -- and 'ionic' and 'nano' silver -- using flamboyant marketing claims about particle size, parts per million, and safety that have little if any basis in scientific fact. We are bringing legitimacy and integrity to the field." "'Nano silver' is the sexy new term for ionic silver," Newman said, "yet the imperative for an efficient delivery mechanism for human use is still the bottom line. Opti-Silver is nano silver with real science behind it to achieve that imperative. Having begun our intensive R&D efforts about ten years ago, we believe we are positioned at the leading edge of a large market that is just beginning to develop." Silver 100 is sold primarily in health food stores at present, mainly in the eastern U.S., including some regions of Whole Foods. It is carried by United Natural Foods, the country's largest health foods distributor. Invision is rolling out national marketing and expects the product to be in the majority of health food stores, as well as supermarkets and pharmacies, by 2007. For further information see http://www.silver100.com or contact the company at [email protected]. The U.S. Patent can be seen on the web site of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office by going to http://www.silver100.com/USPatent.html.
About the Company Invision International Health Solutions, Inc., a privately held company based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, specializes in the research and development of ionic silver delivery solutions for human use. Because the patent covers a broad range of potential formulations, the company intends to pursue rigorous clinical studies, and FDA dietary supplement "health claims" approval as well as drug approval, for certain embodiments of the current patented technology and future technologies. Jay Newman, the company's founder and President, has been interviewed as the industry expert on Good Morning America, NBC TV News, the Mining Industry Review, Wired News, and dozens of radio shows. He is a co-founding member of the Committee for the Responsible Use of Silver in Health, which is hosted at http://www.silverfacts.com. He is a co-inventor on the patent.
Disclaimer No studies have been conducted to either prove or disprove whether the patented technology delivers silver ions to the human body in a way that benefits the body. The statements herein have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. No product covered under the patent, or information thereon, is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
