I'm in remission now and not one person asked how I got to this point.
So here is my protocol that is used to put me into remission. Everybody is different ,and treatment protocol for every patient must be modified. Please speak to your llmd or id prior to making changes to your treatment regime.
Health is based on 3 things Physical health Mental health and positive attitude Body fitness
Mental health is primary to curing the body. Without a positive attitude for cure, you will never get better, period. This can be accomplished many ways; 1) Yoga,meditation, biofeedback,reiki all can leave the mind in a positive state. 2) Most of us without this dedication may need medications to get to a more positive state. MY DRUGS FOR MENTAL HEALTH ARE ZOLOFT 100MG DAILY generic,TRAZADONE 50MG PMgeneric, TRILEPTAL 900MG PM generic, CLONAZEPAM 4MG hs generic FOR SLEEP. Good sleep can not be over emphasized. The body must had recuperative sleep to fight infection. The body,once depressed can not cure itself without medical help.A chemical change occurs in the brain. There is a change of serotonin in the brain that can only be repaired by medication. Trileptal HELPS TWOFOLD.One for bipolar disorder,severe depression and highs Second for neuropathy caused by lyme disease. The body can not cure itself if the mind gives up.
BODY FITNESS minimal exercise produces endophines and norepinephrines that increase the the bodies immune system and preping the body for killing diseases. I started with water exercises and now play competitive tennis when my knees are healthy. All YMCA'S have these programs and even people in wheelchairs are welcome. This is done in a 90 degree pool which also increases the blood flow in the body. The more exercise and the more aerobics, the more chemical release in the brain.
My protocol is based on sound medical reasoning and should be discussed with your llmd. Many symptoms of long term abx are secondary systemic yeast,fungi,viruses and malaria type babesia.
You must hit it with everything at once. Since I'm pro medicine you can use my medicines or the alternative herbal equivalent. NOW MEDICATIONS:
If you are really serious ,I suggest real medicine. As it can be controlled by the doctor , and they have know reactions with other meds. Alternatives are ok but you must use an expert who would know combinations of these herbs.
INITIAL TREATMENT OF MEDICATION IF REAL SICK 10 WEEKS IF NOT 5 WEEKS VANTIN 200MG BID ]GENERIC AVAILABLE MEPRON I TABLESPOON BID FLAGYL 500MG BID GENERIC AVAILABLE PLAQUENIL 200MG QD GENERIC AVAILABLE ZITROMAX 250MG BID GENERIC AVAILABLE DOXYCLINE OR MINO 200MG BID GENERIC AVAILABLE ( MUST WEAR HAT, SUNGLASSES, SBF 60 ON FACE AND SPRAY SHIRT WITH SPF60 NEW SPRAY COPPERTONE. I have found by accident that bactrim ds works on one of the TBD factors. Took this for kidney infection and got immediate herx. I did not herx on this mix, but I guess I was lucky.
ANTIVIRALS ACYCLOVIR 400 MG BID GENERIC AVAILABLE ANTIYEAST & FUNGAL All yeast are molds not all molds are yeast mushrooms are molds but not yeast. they are different and as such,must be treated seperately. VFEND 200MG QD VERY EXPENSIVE(kills yeast and mold) OR DIFLUCAN 200 mg bid ANTIYEAST ONLY
ORAL YEAST NYSTATIN TOCHES OR METRONOZOLE TROCHES 4-5 TIMES A DAY. VAGINA YEAST NYSTATIN OTC WILL WORK
ORAL YEAST SCRAPE TONGUE WITH SCRAPER OR BIKINI RAZOR ESPECIALLY BACK HALF.
No sugar, yeast, mold ie mushrooms,gluten I sleep with air purifier by bed PROBIOTICS NEEDED BUT WILL NOT CURE WITH THIS DOSE OF MEDS
ABX,ANTIVIRALS, ANTIYEAST 4-6 WEEKS PSYCH MEDS FOREVER OR UNTIL DOC TAKES YOU OFF THEM
DISCONTINUE ABX MIX AFTER 6 WEEKS CONTINUE ANTIVIRAL,ANTIYEAST FOR 10 WEEKS BLOOD TESTS MUST BE DRAWN EVERY 3-4 WEEKS THESE ARE POTENT DRUGS AND CAN CAUSE LIVER PROBLEMS
I TAKE ANTIVIRAL AND ANTIYEAST CONTINOUSLY AFTER TREATMENT, Have not had flu for 8 years, no herpes, shingles Ebv, or other viruses.
SMALL RELAPSES I GET ARE TREATED WITH SMALL 10 DAY DOSES OF ABX AND ANTIVIRALS WITH PROBIOTICS. I TREAT IT AS IF I HAD THE FLU AND IT DOES GO AWAY. During this time continue exercise as much as possible even if just water Movement in warm tub.
I have gone from bedridden to playing completive tennis, except for my knees in 8 months. I have been in remission for 6 months from TBD but still have psych And some residual neuro issues, but I can function.
AGAIN THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR ALL,IF IT WORKS FOR AT LEAST ONE ALL THE BETTER. MUST CONSULT LLMD FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO STARTING.MY DOC LETS ME EXPERIMENT AND WRITES FOR WHAT I RESEARCH AND WANT TO TRY. THIS IS NOT A CURE ALL SYSTEM, BUT A SINGLE TREATMENT THAT WORKED FOR ME, WITH SOUND BACKGROUND RESEARCH.
THEORY: LYME AND TBD CONSISTS OF MANY COMPONENTS. MANY OF YOU HAVE KILLED THE TBD ASPECT, BUT HAVE NOT KILLED THE ADVANCED VIRAL AND YEAST COMPONENTS IN YOUR SYSTEM. THEY MIMIC THE SYMPTOMS OF TBD AND AS SUCH, PEOLE FEEL THEY NEED MORE ABX. YOU MUST TREAT THE SUPERINFECTION FROM THE HIGH AND PROLONG DOSES OF ABX TO THE SYSTEM.

Congrats Doc, but you neglected to mention your weekly seaweed wraps, Restalyne, manicures, deep tissure, hydromassage and obligatory lap dances at Maralago.
Banner elk,nc? Did we move from dreary old Palm Beach? Should I notify your publicist? Water deep enough for your '150 Fedship? Posts: 1010 | From Mars | Registered: Feb 2004

Hope North Carolina is treating you well.

DD...how did you get into remission?
Just kidding...very glad you are better!
My sister lives in Wilmington, NC. She and her husband moved there from Upstate NY.
I have used most of the drugs you mentioned...at higher doses, for years. Not the answer for me...yet. I am going to check out the viral component more completely. There has to be an answer for these crashing head/neck aches and fatique.
STAY WELL...yes, the water in the Capr Fear River area is deep...but there are Alligators there as well...and it is colder than in Florida!
However, the prices of comparable homes and the taxes are very affordable in NC...PLUS...they need good Dentists!
Peace, Love and Wellness, JRW

Thanks for sharing that.
Do you think that Diflucan stops being effective after a while?

I am wondering what the psych meds have to do with a bacterial infection?
I have a hard time buying into the whole "healthy attitude helps to heal" supernatural stuff. I had a very healthy attitude towards my illness, even several psychiatrists said so
I heard about a study that showed depakote actually killed bacteria in vitro, could some of these psych drugs have that effect?
or possibly the psych meds improve neuro transmitter function and that helps heal the nervous system?
