Part of the treatment protocol my LLMD uses includes having vitamin IVs.
He suggests 20 IVs, 10 of each, alternating:
Vitamin C IV IV of phoscholine, glutathione, and phenylbutyrate (I think)
Has anyone else used this protocol and was it helpful? Or, has anyone done something different but beneficial?
I cannot make the long drive to MI (4 1/2 hrs) often, let alone 2x a week to have them done at my LLMD's office. If I want to do this treatment, I will have to find somebody local to me in Indianapolis.
If anyone has any thoughts on the efficacy of this treatment I would appreciate it. I'm willing to do it, but want to be sure its potentially worth the investment.
These IVs would be done along with antibiotics and the Pat Kane detox program.
Thanks!! Amanda

I live in MI and am curious which LLMD recommended that. I can't comment on whether it's worth it or not.

Thank you so much for the site! Gosh, I wish I would have known about him when I moved here two years ago! I am definitely going to call him right away! He is near me as well.
I see he also does endocrine work, and I have hormonal imbalances (not sure if that can be Lyme related or not.) There are actually a lot of things on his site interesting to me.
Do you know if he treats people specifically with Lyme at all?

I have never tried it but I was told my another lymie who did that C and glutathione IV's will make you feel "normal" again for a few days.
How interesting, because my own Indianapolis doctor just suggested for me to start I.V. vitamins as well, so the information designed to help you is useful also for me--now I know a place to look into to start the vitamin I.V. I have never done nor heard of this before, but it makes sense that it would help absorption of nutrients if there is a problem with the intestines, as there is in my case--so I would like to look into this center in Indianapolis! I have only known I was positive for Lyme Disease for the last two weeks, but I have been doing various treatments for it, without realizing they were some treatments for it, for the last two years. I diagnosed myself with Lyme Disease after seeing a program on telivision about it, then buying a book where I read about the symptoms. I ordered the test kit for the western blot test from IgenX, and I asked my osteopath to sign off on the test paperwork while I went off to draw the blood and ship it off. I don't know my co-infection status yet--that will be revealed in two more weeks. I haven't started with a "LLMD" yet, but I got an appointment for seeing one in late November. In Carmel, Indiana, I have been working with a very knowledgeable "functional medicine specialist" who is a specialist in the detox pathways, and "autism." Because she has two hyperbaric oxygen chambers, she suggested sessions in them for me, after I got whiplash from a car accident last year. I only just found out that hyperbaric oxygen is a treatment for Lyme, so that means I have been treating Lyme for a year with that. I have gone every single week. She also did dozens of vitamin difficiency lab tests on me, and has me on over fifty supplements. I re-test vitamin status every three months, to see if the vitamins are working. She detoxes me for heavy metals with a special herbal supplement invented by a friend of hers. I re-test my heavy metal burden every three months. I think she could really help you a lot. She has been able to turn around the lives of autistic children, and they are returned to the normal school system, and a normal life...
