After 13 months of abx and supplements to treat Lyme and two co-infections, I'm now at about 80% recovery and back at work 4 days a week.

Things are going well, except that my immune system is shot (numbers are terrible). I'm taking an immune booster but wonder what others have found to boost their immune system.

Thanks!

Andie

what numbers are terrible andie? How can you tell your immune system is shot? It is my belief that mine is over active--but I would LOVE to know exactly how to test this without paying tons of money.
here's to 100%!!!

Andie,
Cat's claw is excellant for the immune system.
It boosts the white blood cells that "eat" the lyme bacteria.

hey trails

my last immune system tests came in normal, first time since my relapse 4 years ago

The immune system tests I had done are from quest and are called:

*c3D circulating immune complex's from quest diagnosics-

* and :immune complex detection, by Q10 binding immune complex cQ10

these where ordered by Dr. J who treats aids patients too. I know the immune system panals have changed names recently.

you could call quest & get a price-770-934-9205

hope this helps [Smile]
