I just started homeopathic treatment of Borrelia,
Bartonella, Babesia, & Ehrlichia. Oh, and I'm being
treated for Candida as well. I was interested to
know if anyone else here has gone the homeopathic
nosode route, and what their experience(s) has
been? After my first dose yesterday I started to
experience a pretty horrible die-off reaction.
After my second dose it was even worse -- and it
included depressive symptoms, which is scary. I'm
going to stock up on lemons, epsom salt, and a
few other things to deal with the die-off.
Anyway, I was just hoping to talk to others
who've treated their infections this way.
Thanks, L.

I have made an appointment for my wife and myself because I am curious, with someone who supposedly uses the homeopathic method to treat Lyme disease.
I have heard secondhand from a local chiropractor that he has never had a case that has taken more than a year to resolve.
I find it hard to believe, but I recently found relief from my hayfever using this method. I was quite sceptical about it prior to my experience. I now believe that it does work to one degree or another.
So, I can't help you right now as the appointment is not until December. But I certainly will be reporting back on the experience, good or bad.
The depression symptoms will resolve themselves as you reduce your bacterial load. Hang in there and keep us posted.

What brand are you using? We just tried this on my daughter for bart in June and she did remarkable. We used the Deseret Biologicals.
She did not take it every day--It was one vial every 3 days.
We are now trying a lyme,babs and ehrlichia combo. It is one vial every week and there are 10 vials. She is responding, but it is not as dramatic as with the bart remedy.
We plan on doing another round of bart remedy when she finishes the current vials.
It did not cure her, but it did help with some of her symptoms and she did not go through really agonizing herxes. We were very impressed.
Good luck with your treatment.

I began my treatment with a doctor who was a board certified homeopath. He was also an anesthesiologist.
It totally cleared my brain fog, short term memory problems and migraines. I honestly think it cleared my head of the disease. That was 3 yrs ago and it has never come back.
Unfortunately it caused massive swelling and pain in my joints and I became housebound and eventually was diagnosed with "explosive" Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I stopped the homeopathy and pursued other courses. For one year we focused on detoxifying me and that brought me to near remission from the rheumatoid. Then we began attacking the bacterias.
I am doing extremely well today and did feel I had a positive experience with the homeopathy. I only wish the doctor had understood more about detoxing as this might have saved me from progressing into RA.
RA is very crippling at best and deadly at worst. I will be high risk for it the rest of my life, but so far, my course of treatment is healing me from the RA. I am hopeful that once all the bacterias have been cleaned up, RA will no longer be a reality in my life.
I loved doing the homeopathy. It was simple and enjoyable. I am genetically defective in my ability to detox. For the rest of my life, I will take artificial forms of glutathione to aid my body in detoxing.
Otherwise, it was a great experience for me.

I had heard that Ledum Palustre is helpful. Last year, prior to my diagnosis, I took it on a whim (I was trying to self-diagnose, and wondered if I had Lyme).
It took away my chronic foot pain IMMEDIATELY and for quite some time.
Good luck!

I always treated with homeopathics for more than a decade now. Never alone, but in conjunction with herbs.
Wonderful experiences, not only with nosodes (I only used borrelia nosodes and TBE nosodes), but with Ledum, Hypericum and many others (literally dozens of different substances).
They are extremely useful for symptom relief, help with herxes, toxin elimination, organ support.
They act totally different than chemicals or herbs. In a different level. The key is to find the exact substance at the exact potency.
If I had my hands on these bart and other nosodes, I certainly would have used them instead of only attacking them with herbs. In Europe, I don't know where to find these nosodes so far.
Good luck, and please, report back your experiences (good or bad!!).

I used homeopathics and nosodes from Deseret Biologicals.
I used the Borrelia series remedy and the Bartonella series remedy. I also used a daily remedy called LYM. They were remarkable.
I herxed really hard and was unable to do much other than cry and read lymenet for a couple of weeks on each of the series remedies.
These along with herbs, supplements, bee venom ointment called Venex, and a little antibiotic got me throught he worst in about nine months.
I had a recurrance for a couple of weeks during the summer, and got through it with teasel root, LYM and Venex. I'm fine now.
I had lyme for about 20 years.
I'm doing heavy weight lifting now, and considering a trip to Africa to help with AIDS orphans.
Good luck with your nosodes. I recommend using them in conjunction with the Lightworks from Sota, but only if you have a really good kinesiologist or ART practitioner to help you with it. I wouldn't do it on my own though, or you could get too sick to manage.
I'm using the Lightworks in conjunction with other homeopathics currently, and I get through remedies in a matter of days that should ordinarily take weeks.
Let us know how it goes.

when you say "homeopathics", what specifically are you referring to? I always thought that herbs were homeopathic, but I get the impression you're talking about something else altogether.
thanks for the info.

If you have too strong of a reaction from a homeopathic, peppermint (as in a tea), or caffeine will negate the effects - it cancels out the treatment, so that is why anyone on homeopathics has to avoid those.

My homeopath says peppermint doesn't cancel homeopathy. But I avoid these close to my homeopathic medicine.
He said there's no proof on that, but anything that has strong taste will not be good to take too close to a homeopathic substance, that's his general rule.
Homeopathy and herbs are very different.
Homeopathy can be done with anything, including dust, germs, plastics, drugs, urine, vaccines, heavy metals, metals, smashed ticks, whatever. Herbs is just one of the substances that can be used to create a homeopathic remedy.
Just google it, you'll find loads of info.
