Can anyone who's done salt/c tell me if it's worked for their bartonella?
On the lymephotos website, bartonella is the one TBI that's not listed.
I tried emailing them that question but never got a response.
Also, can you do salt/c while taking antibiotics or should you wait until you're off?

I'm sure there will be some people coming around to answer your question. But just so you know, there are many discussions on this that you can find if you use the search function.
Lot's of people here have experience with this protocol and there's some great information if you do a search. Hope this helps.

I was dx with bart, but I also did antibiotics before I took salt/c.
I have heard other reports of people on salt/c that have gotten rid of bart and babs. You might want to check lymestrategies for more info on this.

I've done it and the Bart symptoms are still gone. However babs is still making an appearance in the toilet bowl but getting less as the protocol wears on . I am on my 29th consecutive day of salt/C and continue to see small improvements each day. Dyna

Wow, that's great Dyna! Very hopeful!
I did a search and couldn't find much. I searched "salt/c, bart", "salt, bart", "salt/bartonella", and a few other combinations and got nothing.
I was surprised by that as I'm sure there has to be conversations about it already.
Sorry to bring it up again.
Thanks for your help Gary and Gael.

Seriously? There's so much talk about this method being a hoax. I never took it seriously.
I'm already taking Super-C Complex, and do eat salt with my meals. But, I'm sure it's not the same as taking a C/Salt supplement.
Dyna, please elaborate on your comment, "babs is still making an appearance in the toilet bowl." I'm treating Babesia and Co., and I've been dropping constantly 3 to 4 times every morning. Nothing special, other than a soft stool.

Wolfed, I check the surface tension on the water everytime i pee in the toilet. The babs looks like tiny lines and little 3 pointed stars. Apparently the dot are eggs. I continue to show improvement in all lyme symptoms, doing the salt/C protocol. IMHO this is not a hoax, based on personal experience. dyna

I have noticed a few times I've pee'd recently, there is an abundance of what seems like dust in the mix. It doesn't happen everytime, but it's happened quite a bit.
I actually read somewhere that it could be peeing red blood cells out. And, I don't know much about red blood cell replacement, but I know mine are jacked-up, and I need some new ones!
Dyna, what type of Salt/C supplement are you taking? Brand, strength, dosage, etc... ?

Dyna Can you share how you check the surface tension on the water everytime you pee?
Is that just by eye? and or?

Dyna, when you say you see tiny lines, how big are you talking about? Recently, I've been seeing something after I pee and it looks like a line, even a hair expept it isn't as big as a hair. They are even squiggly looking. Some have been as much as a half inch. Could this be what you are seeing?
I've been wondering what this could be. I don't see them all the time but they are just laying on top of the water.

For all of you that have seen my posts, you know how bad I have been.
I decided to get back on Salt/C last week and have been better in many ways since the second day.
I started at 3gm the first day and went to 4gm on the 2nd and 3rd day, 5gm on the 4th day and back down to 4gm yesterday as 5gm was just too much.
The results are:
I have a new found energy and my body aches are much better, sometimes gone. I havn't needed an Epson salt bath except for yesterday. My head cleared up alot, the crying stuff I was doing is gone for now.
And the best part is that I have taken my kids out to dinner 3 nights in a row, and this I have not done in over 6 mos.
I changed nothing else in my treatment, although I did see Dr. J in Germantown and I do have a new treatment regimen which I will start Monday. I wanted this weekend to continue to do fun stuff with my kids.
I don't feel cured or even great, just alot better so that I can push myself to do these things. Once I'm out, I can distract myself and focus on the fun we are all having.
Just yesterday, I was throwing a football with my son for about 30 min. I was throwing 30 yard passes to both him and one of his friends. My throwing arm doesn't even ache today, but my non-throwing arm does :-)
You should see the smiles on my kids faces.
I wanted to wait to post this to make sure it wasn't a one day thing, so I thought it was appropriate when I saw this thread.
Dr. J wants me on Albendazole and Arteminisin and more Oral Abx. He thinks I'm loaded with parasites. The Salt/C would confirm this I would think, but maybe it's hitting something else. Either way, I don't care so long as I'm able to function a little.

Gary, that is great to hear. I'm glad you were able to enjoy some time with your kids and able to do some things.
A break like that can give us a whole new perspective. It makes us able to tolerate the bad days much better. I hope you have lots of good days to come.

Wolfed, I am filling 1 gram gel caps with Himala Pure Salt. Taking 2caps with 2 grams Vitamin C, 10 times per day for a total of 20 grams each per day. I have 1 gram Himalayan Salt caps ordered on line for about $100. for 800 caps. The lines and dots I am seeing are very consistent with thoughs shown on Lymephotos.com

Gary,
I would be curious to know how the Abendazole works. I also have parasites (I have had a positve test). My doc has me on Enula nd Mora blus Mepron for Babs. I don't think the Enula or the Mora does anything nor do I think I could afford to continue these for a long period of time.
Does Abendazole do the same thing that these tictures do? I'd like to ask my LLMD about it. I see her in about a week.
