I have Lyme disease.  I got it in 2002 i think.  I caught it within a week or so and took anitbiotics right away.  Hopefully it will never flare up again.  I havnt heard about that herb remedy but I havnt really researched it either.  We r suppose to get blood work done once a year to make sure it doesnt show back up.  Have you been to the doc?  You might need another round of anitbiotics.

I have it, was diagnosed last fall after 3-4 months of the Doc's treating me for everything under the sun and literally almost killing me.  I'm still on a course of antibiotics, steroids, etc.  Our specialist here reccomended a 2 year treatment.  I never saw any red "bulls eye" or anything but have picked tics off me all the time during Turkey season or when out flying my hawks in the tall grass during the mid-late summer.  it is nasty stuff and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Good luck with it and I hope you can get a handle on it...

I had both lymes and erlichiosis.  I caught it early, but when I get run down I still will get flare ups.  When I get one everything from my scalp to my toes ache.  I've never heard of the herb you mentioned. I usually feel fine after a couple days of getting good sleep, drinking a bunch of water and some advil.

I was diagnosed with Lyme two years ago and was put on antibiotics right away. Saved my life because the Western Bloc test that the CDC does came back negative. What I actually had was an acute intestinal infection and the drugs helped.

I did have the bullseye and did a bunch of research on Lyme while I thought I had it. Really did not learn anything that was good news and never heard of anything that could cure it.

A very wealthy friend of mine has a daughter who has Lyme and they have been all over the country looking for treatment. Ain't happening but she is still trying.

My Doc told me this ," Lyme is bad stuff and you will never get rid of it. Plan accordingly."

I have lyme disease and I didnt exactly catch it early. Took two rounds of antibiotics and my head and legs were still throbbing and I had terrible insomnia. Still do. I was a real $%#@ for a while until I read that lyme disease is a bacteria. Being a bacteria, it is susceptible to other bacterias. I do not necessarily recommend this but I read somewhere that a diet high in bacteria can put the lyme in check. Things like yogurt, milk and of course raw meat. Dairy alone wasnt working and I was still in a lot of pain so I took it to the next level. I must have given myself salmonella 4 times or so ha ha ha but I kid ya not Im better. I used to sit there and eat old, brown, raw hamburger meat and ritz crakers. Raw chicken and raw pork on occasion too. Sushi was a walk in the park. Apparently your body will adapt to the bacteria and also work to filter out the lyme bacteria. Again, Im not recommending this, you could seriously get ecoli and die but I was desperate and it worked for me. Hope this helps.
