I agree the temporary amelioration of symptoms can happen with high dose nutrients via IV....how long does this reversal last in late stage lyme?

Did they do a follow up study to determine if these 2 people remained cured? They were early stage...what did they use to measure cure with IV magnesium?

Doctors charge lots of money for IV nutrient administration.
How are you able to afford this? I would like to know how to afford this treatment myself since I cannot administer IV by myself.

If magnesium IV works, why do rife? Is it because rife is available to anyone unlike the IV mag- not just anyone can do it without doctor's involvement?

Just trying to sort this out a little bit so that the information can be truly useful to lyme patients and not get pushed aside.

Hi pippy!

I'm not Marnie but I have been doing IV Magnesium for over two years at home, 1,000 mg (one gram) daily. At the time of infusion, I also add B12, B Complex and Folic Acid to the magnesium pouch which is prepared by the IV pharmacy. I have a port which simplifies the infusions.

Is there a reason why you can't administer the IV yourself??

So.......yes, it has helped me but I would say the ABX have still played the major role. Cure? Well.... I would have the same questions you posed....what was used as a measuring stick??? I would like to see the particular study mentioned....is that possible??

I wasn't thinking of a port, just getting an IV started every time. Tha's too hard to do on myself as my veins are bad from a series IV push treatments (these helped but did not last).

I'm chicken to get a port. My doc thinks the orals and IM Bicillin as well as treating for babesia are the things that will make the biggest difference right now.

I feel better taking high doses of C, magnesium and calcium and B vitamins....I just guzzle this stuff in a powder and if i forget to do so I notice it!

Sounds like your treatment is on track and I can sure see why you can't really do the IV at home.

One reason this is so helpful for me is that I just don't have the bowell tolerance for the oral magnesium in the quantities I seem to need. In your case.....you may be able to just keep inching the oral dose up untill you reach bowell tolerance. Don't you love that term?

From what I gather from discussions here, you can just ask them to test your electrolytes to cover all the bases?

While shotgunning (before my dx), I took supplemental oral Mg and found the muscle twitching virtually disappeared....
