My son is doing very well treating with nothing but lachesis homeopathic (snake venom) with a classical homeopath.
I did the Deseret Biologicals Bartonella series, just once and it was TERRIBLE for me. . and I've never done a more successful treatment. It has held the bartonella at bay for nearly six months.
Darn good for a $50.00 product, but I had to have 24 a day support for near suicide attempts, anxiety, extreme fatigue.
24 hour a day support.

Yes, I have read that the Des Bio bart series is brutal. But you feel like you came out good on the other side? I have read that from several people on the Bart, although not as positive results on the other side with the one for Lyme. I want to try the Bart, but can't even handle a tiny bit of alcohol while on Flagyl.
Six, do you use those for detox?

To clarify a common misunderstanding:
Homeopathy is NOT herbal medicine. It is energy medicine. Not all Naturopathic physicians practice/use homeopathy with their patients.
My credentials: I've studied and used homeopathic remedies since age 10, took classes, etc., but only for acute care (first aid, colds/flu, etc.) and not Constitutional prescribing. I use homeopathy to manage some symptoms and combat medication side-effects pretty successfully.
There is a book, by Peter Alex, called "The Homeopathic Treatment of Lyme Disease" - I got my copy from amazon.com (I have no financial connection with the book or amazon.com). It is a good read, and sheds some interesting light on a homeopathic view/perspective on Lyme Disease. I've tried the remedy listed in the book as most closely describing the symptoms of Lyme - Aurum Arsenicum - and had some success with it [especially for the anxiety and depression from Lyme/Bart]. I had to stop using it though when my local doctor wanted to work on something else with me and this remedy is not compatible with what she wants me to take. I do plan to go back to the Aurum Ars. when I've finished the other issue.

Razzle, what would be a good homeopathic remedy to replace Xanax? Also, is there a homeopathic that will help a person wean off Xanax?
I've been working with a classical homeopath for 2 years exactly.
He gives me one remedy at a time and works his way up until we hit a road block, then he switches remedies.
I really respond well to Pulsatilla especially with neurological symptoms. But everyone responds differently depending on their constitution.
I can say with 100% certainty, my "hayfever" symptoms every spring are fixed. I still have some reactions to my cat here and there, but overall, they have moved that issue out of my system for now.
My homeopath is 100% against blends of homeopathic remedies (with use of more than one remedy at a time). This is the difference between classical homeopathy and other methods using blends.
I can't say the blends don't work, but I just know that this classical approach (however slow it is) is helping me.
He is also against antibiotics. He feels that they mask the symptoms of the disease and push it "further and deeper".
With that said, I told him I feel antibiotics are necessary at times and he still works with me but says the remedies don't work the same.
It's hard to know which is the "right" route. Obviously we all differ. But.. i strongly believe it was with his help that I even found out that I had lyme disease after 8 years of problems.
I work with a LLND who endorses the use of homeopathics. So, I employ antibiotics, herbs and homeopathics.
It gets confusing at times, but I am hoping it is the right path for me. Perhaps others will find it useful as well.
I bought my homeopathic dr that book by Peter Alex. Not sure what the book entails as I haven't purchased a copy for myself. Honestly don't even know if he is even reading it or using the info to help me.
