Healing Lyme Disease Coinfections: Complementary and Holistic Treatments for Bartonella and Mycoplasma

Finally today the husband said, you know I am noticing a change in my condition. Less breathlessness. He has had RA and Anaemia of Chronic disease for five years. I found the information in this book to be enlightening. Even though he has not been tested for these organisms the symptoms fit. Thankfully I was able to source some excellent tinctures online. Buhner recommended for Anaemia Haemoplasmas, Sida Acuta, N Acetyl Cysteine, Biden's Pilosa, and Cryptolepsis. He is only taking the smallest amount to ease into it. He has a Herx reaction in one finger. I also started him back on Raw Iron and thank God he is now feeling he has started to improve. I also got the Myco Formula from another source. With in a week his Hemoglobin has finally gone up to 12.1 from being 10 and lower for four years. And Red Cell numbers have gone up also. He also takes Minocycline for his RA. Sourced from over seas. There isn't much information regarding peoples responses to these protocols. So far we are grateful for Stephen Buhners work and dedication to finding natural cures for these insidious conditions.

I have been struggling with neuro Lyme and Bartonella for 10 months. Living in Atlanta GA there is next to nothing in finding a true lyme literate physician or IDSA physician who acknowledges coinfections. My PCP refused to treat lYME with the bare minimum CDC guidelines resulting in an acute hospitalization at Emory due to severe neurological deficits and a BP of 60/40. IF YOU HAVE LYME STAY AWAY FROM INFECTIOUS DISEASE PHYSICIANS! THEY ONLY FOLLOW CDC GUIDELINES WHICH WILL NOT ADEQUATELY TREAT LYME AND THE COINFECTIONS. SEARCH OUT INTEGRATIVE PHYSICIAN OR LEAVE REQUEST HERE. Quickly I learned to advocate for myself and to understand these co-infections. Now that I have found a truly lyme literate integrative physician this week who utilizes these protocols I will be able to communicate and understand the healing journey.This book is comprehensive in detail in outlining the disease process, the bacteria profile, the inflammation cascade, providing Harvard studies on treatment findings, and best of all phamaceutical and detailed holistic modalities to treat these stealth infections.I am devotee of his bartonella protocol and have begun to see improvement in 3 weeks!!!! Dr Buhner conveys difficult medical processes into layman's terms enabling you to be empowered on your own behalf. Yes, it is difficult to be ill as well have such a steep learning curve. This book will ensure the right information to lead you out of the darkness until you can find a lyme literate physician. Dr Buhner is higHly respected in the Lyme medical community, brilliant in mind ,and a most compassionate medical doctor. This book is a must have for mycoplasma and bartonella sufferers. You can begin to heal yourself by knowing the enemy you are up against. Fight the good fight by being appropriately informed. As well HIGHLY RECOMMEND A BOOK FROM A PHYSICIAN WHO ALMOST DIED FROM BARTONELLA: Gone in a Heartbeat: A Physician's Search for True Healing Paperback – January 29, 2015 by Dr. Neil Spector (Author) HIS STORY OUR STORY.....BARTONELLA TESTING CAN BE DONE ACCURATELY THROUGH GALAXY LABS IN NORTH CAROLINA. DR. SPECTOR IS CONSULTANT FOR THEM.

Healing Lyme Disease Coinfections, by Stephen Harrod Buhner, is easily the best discussion of Mycoplasma and Bartonella infections and their testing and herbal treatment.This book is a great bargain,since purchasing a copy of even one of the published studies he discusses would cost more than the entire price of the book. Buhner has obviously read and distilled over a hundred scientific journal articles to write this book. It is obvious he has read the entire articles, not just the abstracts.The depth of the book and the power of the various herbals to precisely modify the immune system is almost overwhelming. For example, Scutellaria baicalensis, Chinese skullcap, reduces nitric oxide, iNOS, IL-3, IL-6, IL-17, COX -2, PGE2, NF-xB,IxB-a, IL-1b, IL-2 IL-12, TNF-a and VEGF and tends to upregulate IL-10. Amazingly, some physicians claim there are no published studies of herbal medicinal effects! Interestingly, Buhner reports Scutellaria inhibits Cytochrome P450 C3A4, while a journal article, Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet. 2011 Dec;36(4):249-56, concluded it did not inhibit C3A4, in vitro.I have personally witnessed resveratrol, andrographis, cat's claw, smilax, Isatis and hawthorne herbals Buhner recommended for Lyme Disease, produce favorable results. I have also observed a Western Blot Ig M 41 positive Lyme patient, recover from Herxheimer dieoff faster, using Isatis herbal, recommended by this book. I suspect the Lyme dieoff cleared faster, because Isatis decreases LPS endotoxins.In addition to treating or reducing severity of Mycoplasma and Bartonella, many herbals discussed in the book are also effective against allergies, encephalitis, arthritis, and other bacterial and viral infections, including Staphylococcus, Shigella, Enterococcus, Psuedomonas, Klebsiella, Malaria, Hepatitis C, HIV, Herpes, Cytomegalovirus, etc.Buhner reports he has recovered from Lyme disease and has been using herbals to treat people, for about 25 years. With antibiotic resistance, from prescription medications increasing, herbals provide effective treatment alternatives, for many bacterial and viral diseases. Herbals such as Astragalus and cat's claw can also be used proactively, as tonics, to prevent infections, such as Lyme Disease.Steven Sponaugle

Excellent book, in fact the only book I could find on Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma. I have a ureaplasma infection which has given me Interstial Cystitis for 2+ years-misery. It took lots of searching and an eventual test at medichecks to work out that this is what has been causing my constant UTI symptoms. I'm now following the protocol in this book and am on my way to recovery. Sending love and well wishes to any of you on this journey. Essential oils are also showing great hope for mycoplasma and ureaplasma too.

The book does give shopping lists of cytokines, receptors and microbes (that herbs have actions against) etc.., which understandably would be off-putting to some, but this is useful in selecting relevant approaches to infections, especially if you have other information about your condition from different tests. etc.Buhner gives detailed accounts of various herbs' actions and this has helped very much in ruling them in or out for giving a try.It's not as succinct as Healing Lymes but is an information packed book.

Very helpful book for several conditions

This is so up to date with the reality of the varied and many co-infections that are becoming so prominent worldwide. We should all read this book.

It really explains Bartonella and how this bacterie works. Haven't read the mycoplasma part yet, but I have no doubt it is just as great. Gives hope for healing with herbs when one has lost faith. The Herbs are described very well with a lot of Scientific stuff.
