Herbalist Mathew Wood talks about this in one of his books and has had amazing results with complete recovery in as little as a month for some very sick patients. It is supposed to be especially helpful for the arthritic pain.

I am taking a tincture with a blend of herbs, and teasel is one of them.
Since I have taken most of the other herbs in the tincture before, I think I can pinpoint the herx to being caused by the Teasel.
I am not better yet, but I feel my Lyme is slowly getting under control, thanks to a bunch of things I'm taking. Hard to pinpoint what's helping exactly, but I think it's a combo.
So anyways, my point is that I wouldn't doubt teasel is effective against Lyme....though I think it's like most situations with Lyme, where you need to hit it with a lot of things....in most cases, there isn't one thing only that will cure you.

- It helps some; not others. Didn't do a thing for me but I have heard of a few others out there who found it helpful, as part of protocol. As Hossiers says, it is not enough alone, by any means.

I know of some who it has helped, I've used it and still do, it helped me to a small degree. Although I know of one person it helped a great deal. It doesn't help me much anymore (I'm pretty much symptom free), but I like using it as a form of prevention to relapse. I guess I like insurance policies.

Thanks everyone, I'll check out those links Keebler.
Bob, if you don't mind my asking, what type of treatments did you use that has brought you to a symptom free place? ABX? Herbals? Rife? A mix?

I can't use ABX, I've had terrible reactions to them.
First used lightworks then an LED like the bionic 880 called the PE1, liver/kidneys/metals/ detoxification/cleanses using herbals, homeopathy, diet, fighting infections from viruses / bacteria / parasites. I've been more spiritually oriented, getting closer to nature, I've created a garden this year and started planting vegetables. I take nature walks. I exercise working out 3 to 4 times a week.
I've used many methods, many of which I test using a biotensor, such as tinctures / supplements and homeopathy. One of the main methods, which I still think is very powerful is MMS. Looking back at it all, I think viruses are more important part of the disease process. It may rival or be more important for most then parasites. I know believe viruses suppress immune system operation more then anything.
If you look at many of the supplements we take, they tend to be anti-viral as well.
I think many of the supplements I used -- monolaurin, lots of coconut oil are really anti-viral. And because I didn't use ABX, my immune system was stronger against viruses.
So, what if I'm right, viruses have a much bigger role in our health. Then treating with ABX which suppresses the immune system might be contra-indicative to removing symptoms. So longterm use of echinacea along with probiotics while taking ABX might be in order. But is that enough to control viruses?

When I was first diagnosed, 3 months ago, and started researching Lyme, the most prominently talked about treatment was ABX.
I knew this was not the path for me.
I agree with you that viruses play an important role and may be at the base by suppressing the immune system which then allows the bacteria to get a better hold.
I also agree with the spiritual side, and feel that the key lies in a whole body approach, mental, physical and spiritual.
Thanks for your suggestions. I have ordered the MMS.

LLMD told me to use it; tat combined with A.D.P. emulsified oregano is at least as effective as any other antibiotic I hagve taken, and I've taken a lot of orals.
