First, I want to thank everyone on this board who has helped me find answers over the past couple of days while I've been freaking out.

14 mos. ago I was diagnosed from bullseye rash, fever, foggy head, lethargy. Doc. gave me 4 weeks of Amox. and symptons went away. I guess the jury is still out on whether that was a long enough course. I hadn't felt any symptoms after that, until a couple of days ago, I started getting fever, foggy head, night sweats. Today, the symptoms are gone. I have no idea whether it was a relapse or just a little fever in response to something else.

Tests probably won't help me because I already have the Lyme antibodies. And I can't justify an antibiotic assault under such suspect conditions. So, my plan is a sustained, long-term natural/herbal regimen as a safeguard to wipe-out any remaining critters that might be "holed-up". Certainly, if symptoms reappear or I start herxing heavily, I'll head right to a doc. for the antibiotics, but in the meantime, I'd like to try the natural route.

Any recommendations for a natural/herbal regimen?

Hi and WELCOME! Get a LLMD or at least Dr that is willing to learn about lyme. "Lyme literacy" means, first and
foremost, knowing how to diagnose the disease accurately. Borrelia Burgdorferi is a clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms and on your response to treatment. Good Luck, bumpy road ahead.

Sounds to me (and I am not a doctor, but I have seen a lot of them) as if you are still infected with LD or co-infection.

I appreciate your desire to go a natural route, but in my opinion, nature is way overrated. Nature got us into this mess in the first place.

If I thought it would help, I'd put tomatoes on my head and dance in the moonlight, but I really think you should reconsider going on good ol', man-made antibiotics.

Traditional abx are usually NOT man made. They are one organisms defense against another and the bacteria have not only become resistant they are fighting back. See mrsa,vre,and others.
Silver and oil of oregano are different types of abx which resistance is not a factor afaik.
(problem is one cannot patent nature)
