Me? No. I am not good at muscle testing myself, have never learned the art. The Bionic has a tried and true method. The other LED's are slightly different (the PE1 is strong), so do not use the same method and no one has developed a tried and true way. We discuss this in the email group (links to that group from the forum).

The three people I know personally who use the other devices with energetic testing, diet, homeopathics, are just as well as I am. Bob is one person I go to for help when I get caught up in what to do next. Every time we come up with something and I move to the next level. (Bob, I am going to beat you to remission )

So, I think Germany and the Bionic are the #1 way right now to do LED. I think that the PE1 is second, but only because there is not a developed protocol. I think both are adequate to fight the infections .... then you just have to add from there to rebuild your body to what it was/should be.

Magnesium or no, even people without lyme can get tendonitis from a short period on Levaquin.

Why not start with the Rifampin (baby dose and build up to the 600mg/day) and add in a low dose of Flagyl to hit the cysts.

The rages could very well be Bart.

Remember to take Milk Thistle, as the Rifampin is seriously hard on the liver. Am hoping you will have a pcp at least monitor your bloodwork if you plan on doing this.

Just my humble opinion. Wishing you the will to get through this.

BD,

I think 'lymeinhell' has the plan for you. If you're going to take Levaquin to assist your Rifampin, make the doses very small. Remember that Levaquin is the "push" drug for the Rifampin. At the first sign of joint pain, please stop the Levaquin, else you could end up with permanent damage. Be very careful with the Flagyl; start slow and low dose. Actually, starting low dose with all the drugs is the best thing for you, so you're not knocked on your rear. You might be going through the "Stop and Start-again" process (like randibear is right now) a number of times, so don't get too discouraged.

If you're going to take Mg, take it at least 2 hours after the abx, or 6 hours or more before the abx. As for the Milk Thistle, I don't take these types of supps at all. You might want to wait until you're up-and-running on the abx before adding anything (other than probiotics). Add one at a time so that if you have a reaction, you'll be better able to gauge to what substance is causing it.

Best to you, BD. I know it's terrible; it's HELL to be poor! When you've gotta do it yourself, you've gotta do it, yourself. Hang in there and give us a daily call.
