as we all know ,lyme is responsible for immune deficiencies in the body
question the bacteria along can cause this,as untreated lymie have immune problems.
does killing the bb cause more immune problems that non-treatment.
i can remember my first iv of rocephin 1 of 3. after 2 weeks my immune system went bonkers. that's a medical term,only doctors and dentist;s can use it.
the heavy load of neurotoxins released by bb nearly killed me.
should we not consider a treatment protocol this involves pulsing iv abx with iv fluids or some kind of detoxing agent and kill the bb slowly over time,rather than all at once.
i think many of my neuro symptoms and maybe even the coinifections babs may be attributable to the fast kill-em dead attitude of many docs.
maybe we should have the docs pull back and look\ at the effects of massive dose abx ,to our body.
maybe the released toxins do more damage than we need to have ,in our bodies
just a though docdave

Doc Dave I am pulsing orals - 3 to 4 kinds over a two week timeframe than a week or two off. This is working well for me and allowing my body to detox.
I know there is no way I could tolerate constant antibiotics in spite of everything I am doing to detox so I am happy to be going this route recommended by my LLMD.
By the way my natural killer cells when last tested over a year ago were at a paltry 8 - so not much immune system for me at that time.

I too pulse abx's...2 weeks on, 2 weeks off and switch them up. My LLMD feels that this is a good way to help your immune system fight, trick the keets as well as help your liver detox. Been on this method since July and it seems to be working well.

This thread seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle... there are some important thoughts here.
"the heavy load of neurotoxins released by Bb nearly killed me.
should we not consider a treatment protocol this involves pulsing iv abx with iv fluids or some kind of detoxing agent and kill the bb slowly over time,rather than all at once.
i think many of my neuro symptoms and maybe even the coinifections babs may be attributable to the fast kill-em dead attitude of many docs."
After a strong and sudden die-off, this is exactly what happened to me, i.e., low immunity that has never fully recovered, neuro symptoms, and possibly a co-infection, which I never once felt before the incident.
And strangely, I craved an IV but didn't know which type to ask for and couldn't get any agreement from the pratitioner I was seeing at the time.
A few months ago, our dog had a serious infection after drinking some pond water... was given abx (metronidazole and one other whose name I didn't recognize) AND an IV of fluids for one week. I couldn't help but think the IV was as big a part of the tx as the other meds (and was a bit wistful about that IV).
Perhaps, however, the IV was used only for hydration purposes in his case, though even this could have been helpful for me.
Adding a detox agent seems more than logical, as well as a slower process.
Not sure how this would/could be implemented.
