Hi Komondor,

Very interesting site. I am going to follow up with my homeopathic doctor after many threads back and forth with takemylife but this thread you directed us to at least verifies that some people need more antibiotics than they are currently getting and for longer periods of time. I will wait to see if my homeopathic will choose to combine with what he prescribes or send me in another direction. Fortunately they are more apt to work with the medical doctors and it's a shame the medical doctors don't choose to recognize them. What I find most interesting is the combining of drugs which my infectious disease doctor didn't even discuss. Of course he might not pay attention to this info either but then again he may surprise me. I am just going to have to follow my gut for the next couple of weeks and do a lot of soul searching on the best approach from both angles and doctors.
Thanks for the insight. It's confusing because takemylife is doing so well.
I'm just thrilled for him and some positive news on this site for a change.

Hi Betterdays,
I really think everyone is different and it depends on germ load, co-infections... Some do well with natural stuff and others do not. I would not be where I am today without the drugs. I hope you find some answers very soon. I thought it was very interesting that a gov site is referencing our experts on lyme... See bottom of page.

Great site, Komondor - thanks for the tip.

A lot of good information and I was especially interested in the Jemsek portion.....There was so much info, I just added it to my "Favorites" (my ink supply is getting low - LOL) and I'll read it a bit at a time...

Bet NC & Jon would enjoy it!
