Has anyone used ecklonia cava supposedly a very strong antioxidant that is to decrease cytokine production thus reducing pain in muscle, joints, and nerve shealth pain? Anyone? Or is this just another herb that you buy and doesn't do anything and you put in the stash along with all your other useless supplements.

I looked this up at iHerb.com and found three products with Ecklonia Cava that have lots of good reviews.
I checked at Amazon.com and found lots of good reviews for Ecklonia Cava.
I see in past posts that you're trying Lufenuron and Borax. How are you doing with that?
You posted that you have a problem with muscle tightness, stiff neck and shoulder. Look into the SOTA Magnetic Pulser for this. Also, magnesium.
I was able to reduce pain in muscles and joints with Wobenzym (systemic enzyme therapy), Magnesium, Fish oil, 2000 mg of EPA daily, SOTA Magnetic Pulser, Berberine.
I found that a good B complex and sublingual B12, methylcobalamine, reduced the neuropathy. Also, Gotu Kola helped neuropathy for me.

Yes, I did my last Lufeneuron treatment did two bags full, I definitely herxed big time while taking treatment thus think it helped yeast. What was funny I have had this rash on my torso for 4 years and now its totally gone! Yeppp I am still drinking low dose 1/4tsp borax a day for my arthritis pain this basically is a cheap way to increase boron which helps arthritis. Thanks about SOTA magnetic pulser I will look into it. I just started berberine for my blood sugar but if it helps with pain that's great too. I just did the gene test for Dr. L provides to see if I have methylation issues. Thanks for all your good input. Posts: 24 | From Maine | Registered: Jun 2013

Do you think the rash was a yeast rash?? (I would suspect so) That gives me hope!
So where do you buy food grade borax?

Take it from the last part of the name, Protomyxzoa rheumatica, causes arthritis. It can also cause skin rashes. If you have PR, you should not be taking magnesium, because PR uses it to build biofilm.
WHen I had joint pain methionine helped a lot. The first time I took it I got tendonitis from Levaquin that was so bad I could not lift my arm. Methionine is the precursor to SAMe that is supposed to help with pain and depression. I could not tolerate SAMe but I did well with methionine.
Methionine is also essential for detoxing heavy metals. If you have a CBS mutation, it has sulfur, so not good for that. I quit taking it for that reason but I just ordered it again because I never had any stiffness or joint pain when I was taking it.

I just buy the Borax you use for cleaning clothes. Told by well known LLMD that this is not dangerous in very small doses like I am taking. I actually do think it was a yeast rash because only after I treated aggressively for yeast did my rash disappear (small bumpy read spots often scaley very itchy dermatitis).

I did Ecklonia Cava (Brown Algae) before I started ABX not sure I had Lyme at time but knew I had inflammation. I took 6 capsules a day for 4 months, very popular brand. I could not tell any difference in my inflammation. However I did not try them while on ABX. All the Best, MattH
