Hi everyone I had the bulls eyes tick bite in July, with onset of lymes symptoms ie, feverish shivery chills unable to sleep and a really grumpy tummy with copious amounts of wind and burbing, also not that hungry. Basically I was put on antibiotics for 21 days with a change over half way through, needless to say, it just came back again over a few weeks, it feels like a very clever and stubborn virus, I believe it was hiding while on treatment. I have found it a very hard infection to endure. I'm really irritable with it...I decided to see if there is any thing I can try that is natural, I came across cryptolepis Sanguinolenta for lymes "pubmed" ..I have now been on it for a week, it does feel as if it's doing something, the lymes is kicking up a stink in protest. But I will persevere and let you know how I got on!...Has anyone tried this herb, if so would be interested to know how you got on with it ..I hope this has been of some help to you fellow sufferer's.

🙂

Good morning! Cryptolepis helped me a lot as well, am still taking it. Got bitten in 2021, had a few antibiotics courses, with less and less success. Found some herbs that helped but bought the Buhner book with his core Lyme protocol now and am slowly adding a few other herbs to try and get improvement. Need a little more mobility and energy! Cannot afford any of the few doctors here in the Netherlands who are still able and prepared to help, and those medications are way too expensive for me too. Semi-retired, 75 years old. Decided to just work on strengthening my immune system - mainly by diet and get rid of everything that would cause me too much stress - and hope for the best.

Is Crypto still helping you ? As I wrote to the poster, I am not comfortable posting much on this since it is not locked. I am open to communicating on chat. 😊

How are you doing now ? Is it helping you ? What have your symptoms been,if you do not mind sharing ? I was about to post more, but your reply is not locked,so I deleted it. We can use chat if you want.

I'd rather reply so all members can read it, for more people might benefit then. That's what a forum is for, I thought?

When a post is locked. it prevents people from outside of HU reading it. When I follow people in a group. I receive emails from even posts they make in groups I am not in on HU. . Many people hesitate to reply to posts that are not locked due to it not feeling as safe. I hope I explained that okay. Feel free to ask me questions if it is not clear. 😊

thanks for the explanation, must admit that it hasn't been clear to me how this specific forum works!! Other forums allow me to read questions and answers, and I just cannot find things here. Have been trying to post some stuff that I thought might be interesting to others, but so far I did not manage to get a proper connection.

We can chat, but I do not always have the energy or the time for longer conversations, that's why I like forums, or even FB groups better.

If you feel healed, you could try to reduce your intake and see what happens. It does no harm taking it years!!

Here in the Netherlands the core herb is Teasel root, lots of people got rid of their complaints. It does take patience, it will be about two years before you get the maximum result, but it's worth trying.

For keeping your resistance against Lyme high, Astragalus works wonders, also as a prophylactic remedy. I got all this info from Buhners book, Healing Lyme. I'm anti AI!
