The first one is Foundation formula I buy this from my dr office and it has all kinds of good stuff in it. Japonese knotweed, turmeric, and some other things that are scientifically proven to kill Lyme. Next, the little tiny bottle squeezed in between the two big bottles. It’s hydrocortisone. I try very hard not to take pharmaceuticals but sometimes they are necessary for a short time. So I take the hydrocortisone for adrenals but am weaning off to see if there is a difference. Next is maca which is great for hormones and libido. Then comes the Re-shi it’s a mix between the shiitake mushroom and the rieshi mushroom if you have never done research on mushrooms they are amazing for your body. They helped me sooooo much with appetite. Remember I said I was anorexic. I could not gain weight...not even an ounce. I decided on my own to stop Lyme treatment for a bit and treat for parasites and take the re-shi. I slowly gained weight and look way healthier than I did. I was a scrawny 100 pounds and now I weigh 110. But mushrooms help with so much more. They regulate the immune system. They strengthen the immune system. If you can afford cordycepts they are really good for adding extra oxygen into your blood and body. Their is a story behind athletes using these in China to compete in the marathons. Next is chlorella to help detox and carry the Lyme out of my body it also aids in detoxing heavy metals. Next is lauricidan, it’s derived from coconut and they are little pellets I take them to help with the Epstein Barr infection and it kicks like a mule so you need to take it slow. Next is panthonic acid. It’s a “B” vitamin and water soluble so it will not build up in your system. It helps your nervous system.
On to the tinctures. I make most of my own tinctures. Which I am mighty proud of. The first one is the A-L complex I do not make this one it has 14 different herbs in it and it’s a bit kicker. Remember I said I felt like I hit a wall in treatment so my dr changed things up. Well this stuff he said will make you herx BAD. He wanted me to take only 1drop and increase 1 drop every 2-3 days. Of course I was thinking what is one drop going to do when o take 20 drops of the other herbs. So I started out with 3 drops 2x a day instead of once a day. It KICKED MY BUTT!!!! The herxing was so bad and now I’m stuck in a bad flare. I backed down to 3 drops once a day. I would have to say it’s worth taking. I can feel it working but please start slow. It’s also very expensive so it’s a good thing I make all of my other tinctures . Next is cryptolepis it aids in killing the babesia which is a close cousin of malaria. When I first started taking this it also made me herx pretty bad. I also take malarone for the babesia which is a malaria medication. I take 2 pills for three days of the week. It’s still hard to get used to but I wanted to make note that when I started taking them I had a bad die off reaction and broke out in petechiai on my stomach, neck and legs. Babesia lives in your red blood cells and puts up a good fight. Next is sarsaparilla I make my own and it’s the only one I claim to taste good. It smells like vanilla and is seriously yummy. It helps carry endotoxins out of your system. Next is hawthorn I take this for my heart, it is literally a heart tonic. It does so much for it. From strengthening it to help regulate your heart rate. I don’t make my own of this but probably will very soon. Herbs are expensive to buy and when you take them 3x a day it’s so much money. Next is cats claw I have been taking this the longest and it helps treat the Lyme. The bottles in this box are detox factors which has a ton of supplements to help detox it is also very expensive and I go through it fast so I don’t take it all of the time meaning I take it 3x a day until it’s gone and then i do t buy more for a while. It is wonderful for supporting your immune system and detoxing. Next is Beta Glucane for my immune system and last but definitely not least is green tea extract. Guys this is a powerful antioxidant and would help anyone. I think everyone should take it. You can but it with no caffeine if you are sensitive to caffeine. I do not take it three times a day like the other things. I only take 2 at lunch time because mine do have caffeine it helps a lot to give me a tiny kick.
All of this is kind of overwhelming! But slowly you learn what helps and what doesn’t. I recommend adding only one thing at a time unles your dr suggests a different approach. I’m not going to lie all of this is very expensive and has become a huge part of our monthly budget. I buy most of my supplements from amazon and I like the “Now” brand some things I buy I make sure are more “top of the line” like probiotics and fish oil. The other things I get in the Now brand because I feel like it’s an in between being not the best but definitely not the worst. I also get labs done every month to make sure my liver and kidneys are not being affected. Herbs are very tolerable and will rarely harm you. Just one herb is great for many things where as a pharmacutical is good for one thing but cause many side effects. Oh I almost forgot I do take charcoal to help pull out the dead Lyme which constipates me like no other and you have to keep your bowels going otherwise all of the die off is stuck in your bowels or re circulating in your system so I also take a generic stool softener and sometimes psyllium husk.
Please remember there is always hope and if today is a bad day God’s mercies are new everyday. Tomorrow will be different!
