Uma,
Wasting time and money on ducks has got to be so frustrating. Isn't Dr K in CA? I really thank God I was referred to Dr S. He is treating this very aggressively with the homeopathics. He is leaving no stone unturned including treating other ailments I have had in my lifetime which have left the virus in my system. He has me on 17 remedies, most of which are taken 3x daily.
His nurse is going to call me tomorrow and I am going to ask her how others can find an LLMD with his credentials in their area. I will let you know.

Yes, Tracy, VERY scary. BUT THAT is what we have to put up with in the outer reaches of civilization.
And YES, Tracy, begine slow by all means. Buhner definitely encourages that in his book. Your system must aclimate to the herbs.
Start out with his CORE protocol, with only one a day of each for the first week. HE recommends 1 of each, three times a day, which MAYBE your system can handle and maybe it can't. I HAD to start out with one a DAY of each, but I used Devils Claw instead of Andrographis for the first week or so.
Then the second week go to one of each, two times a day, the next week go to one of each, three times a day; then the next week go to TWO at a time, three times a day; and continue adding gradually till you get up to the maximum dosage which HE recommends for a minimum of 60 days. Probably 90 days might be better or even 120 days. Then gradually cut down just the opposite of how you started. IF you notice some symptoms returning go back up to a higher dose again. YOU will be able to tell that better than anybody. ONLY you know how YOU feel.
Add other herbs into the regimen as you feel comfortable with them. By the time you get THERE, you will be quite informed IF you keep researching and don't be afraid to vary your protocol some IF you find NEW, USEFUL info out there. Knowledge is changing ALL the time. And some of that is good.

Thanks for PMing me, luvs2ride, and thanks for the advice oxygenbabe and JimBoB - I did find that one thread started by jfw to have good information, too.
Well, that's it. I'm getting Buhner's book. It sounds like an excellent guideline.
Can anyone recommend a good ``treating Lyme with homeopathy'' book? I might as well order that too, while I'm at it. (I already have my own Materia Medica.) Any other book recommendations are welcome, also.
I can't afford Dr. K. either, although he sounds like he understands all of this really well.
Right now, my ND and I decided to put me on:
Samento (7 drops 3 x a day) (sorry JimBob - I started before I read all this) Colloidal silver (1 dropper 3 x a day) Ledum 1 M (1 dropper 2 x a day)
Well, at least I'm on something - give the Borrelia something to think about. Tracy

Hi Tracy: That is right, keep giving them something to think about, but not for TOO long. Get them confused then give them the killing blow.
Don't worry about me, what I say or think; Do what you have to do at the time. I just report what is working or not working for me, and also report what Buhner has to say about things. After all, HE has more experience with herbs than any of us here. But no one knows it all. Good thing is, IF something is not working real well, you can always switch in a month or two.
which lists a couple of books. I PM'd this to you as I could not seem to post yesterday.
