I just wanted to post an fyi. I tried the abx route for 11 months and relapsed hard after stopping. I have been on salt c and rifing for three months and I have had a breakthrough in my symptoms! I feel really good....
just wanted to let all you newbies out there know that there are other alternatives besides abx and just do your research....
i finally feel like i have a reason to live again..just posting what has worked for me!

Well, this treatment is controversial here and some may object to your post but I thank you for posting your own experience.
I haven't tried this but I do have an increased need for salt and often add natural himalyan rock salt to my drinks as it stops that "feeling faint" symptom for me.
There are some people who don't do well on salt and it actually can cause harm if you are one of those people who can't process it safely -- we all respond differently but I'm glad you are doing well and I hope it continues for you.
You gave the abx a good try and I think for the newly infected that's a good course to follow.

I'm doing alt sota protocol and using vit C. Tried the himlayan salt for a couple of days but it made me bloat so no extra salt for me.
On vit C, I've been using emergen C to tolerance but going to look for chewable C tabs. I think emergen C has gluten/wheat in packets but's nice to take in cold water like a fizzy drink but I need to avoid wheat.
Anyway today feel better than have in quite some time and feel more hope also.

Salt + lots of Vit C = hydrogen = raising the pH.
However, Bb uses Na (last step in CO2 fixation route).
So..just a suggestion...find other combinations that produce hydrogen. Here are a couple of supplement combinations that are worth considering:
AlkaMax by TriMedica (personal fav.) Gluco Reg by Solaray (helps prevent late onset diabetes)
(Mineral + lots of acids = hydrogen)
THEN...to carry hydrogen INTO the mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell) =
CoQ10.
If your INTRACELLULAR Mg level is low (likely)and if you can't exercise, it is very likely your ability to MAKE that enzyme (CoQ10) is hindered.
For sure, a big part of healing is knocking off Bb
AND getting your pH back up.
Happy to hear this route is working for you!

This is what I love to hear!
Some people out there are like drug czars... I believe there is a way to get well without all the drugs.
Thanks for the ideas, Marnie.
I think the first step is to *believe* that you can heal your body instead of attacking it. It helps to have a goal to focus on.
