"My son suffers from chronic Lyme Disease." (nhlyme)

MDJunction to me

liamacker"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)

Just a thought...why so fancy? get a regular sprayer like they use for windex window cleaning?

the dollor store sell'em for cheap, nothing ever been in it..if want to be sure...put a little silver in it and rinse it out???

Ohh, this just gave me a brain storm(yeah my mind works some of the time)Smile

How about inbetween Jenna's fancy sprayer and my dead dumb pump by hand sprayer..

I have a sprayer...and never used it! dane!..This is how it works........

you put the product in it(silver) and then put air in it through the valve...

I bought that for cheap...6$ at the time...I have a million bike pumps and cig lighter car pumps... use that to fill with air for pressure....

Presto! Thanks now I don't have to go buy a sprayer!

ha! I love it when I have a non-lyme moment!

Glad to give ideas! Good for you wlkthlne!

I'll try to make this short:

My lyme doc has me use a medical intuitive. She referred me to a woman that does work with the silver out of her home.

She injects and sprays.

The third injection she did made me feel like I was having several heart attacks that night. My doctor told me to stop the injections.

My husband is a welder and uses oxygen tanks, so she taught us how to do it.

She purchases her silver from a man in a nearby city that makes it. They come in dark brown vials that you mix with a gallon of distilled water.

That's all I know!

Hope it helps.

peace to all

Wow..now that I did not know...injects???? Umm, how do you feel with that?(when you do it on your own)

I got the spray and drop and drink part...wow...a new one there for me...

Hey, Like I said, want me to eat bark and worms...let me know!

Anything that will help..or might help...

I make my own...seems to be a fine product...I am still here...

Only I was hoping for more results from it...hard to tell if it is working...or what is working better...

I guess I have to go with the attitude that I would be worse with out it?????

tough call...thanks for all the info..learned a new one today...

I never injected myself. I am like you and went to complete strangers house to have her stick a needle in my arm with silver in it for 125.000.

The first time she tried sticking me 7 or 8 times literally. We gave up and my arm had huge hematomas and was very sore for weeks.

The injections definitely gave me huge herxes. But when it affected my heart so strongly that time, that was enough. I have mitral valve prolapse and a murmur diagnosed 20 yrs. ago when I used to faint on the train.

She wasn't licensed to use needles on the public. I honestly don't care.

Isn't it funny how we'll try anything?

peace

I have...I should say..HAD this. Those claw like marks are on my upperback and I've had them for 16 years. I had contracted Lyme that long ago. I also got Mennigitis 15 years ago..I believe this is where I got the Bartonella..where I was stung by some flying insect..is where all these silvery lines are.

Anyway...I realized that Bartonella was the culprit only about 4 months ago. I had the squirmy feeling under my skin for years....

I had fibromyalgia and the WORST calf knots and leg ache for YEARS!!!..I am now as cured as I probably will ever be.

Homeopathy cured me.

This is what I used.....

www.desbio.com

BORRELIA SERIES THERAPY

Bartonella is often found as a co-infection with Lyme Disease. This Series Therapy may be used in conjunction with Borrelia Remedy.

The most common disease resulting from Bartonella infection is Cat Scratch Fever or Cat-scratch disease. Symptoms include sterile suppurative papules, slight fever, headache, chills, backache, abdominal pain, malaise, alteration of mental status, and convulsions.

It may take 7 days to two months for Bartonella symptoms appear. Most cases are benign and self-limiting, but lymphadenopathy may persist for several months after other symptoms disappear. The prognosis is generally favorable within one month. Most cases occur in fall and winter in temperate climates.

In immunocompromised patients more severe complications sometimes occur. Bartonella infection has also been linked to Bacillary angiomatosis, Bacillary peliosis, Endocarditis, Bacteremia with fever, Carrion's disease, Myocarditis, Neuroretinitis and Trench Fever. Homeless IV drug users are at increased infection risk.

Transmission and Host Sources: Transmitters are blood-sucking arthropods including ticks, fleas and body louse. Reservoir hosts are mammals such as domesticated cats, mice, squirrels, rats and dogs.

Bartonella Infection Cycle: Immediately after infection, the bacteria colonize a primary niche, the endothelial cells. Every 5 days a part of the Bartonella in the endothelial cells are released in the blood stream where they infect erythrocytes.

The bacteria then invade and replicate inside the erythrocytes where they multiply to a certain density, and where the erythrocyte is still functioning properly. At this point, the Bartonella simply wait to be taken with the erythrocytes by a blood-sucking arthropod.

Bartonella and Lyme Disease Co-infection; Physicians first reported in 2001 that patients were co-infected with Bartonella and Lyme Disease. Multiple reports of this finding indicate that Bartonella is a tick-transmitted pathogen. Therefore, Lyme patients should be tested for Bartonella co-infection and treated accordingly. It is important to remember, in treating these conditions homeopathically, to include Drainage Remedies and Smart Silver as part of a successful therapy.

Ingredients: BARTONELLA (7 STRAINS); one vial of each of the following dilutions (all in X): 200, 100, 60, 30, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5.

Indications: For temporary relief of symptoms related to Cat Scratch Fever or Cat-scratch disease including sterile suppurative papules, slight fever, headache, chills, backache, abdominal pain, malaise, alteration of mental status, and convulsions.

when you say 'cut' do you actually mean the skin is broken as it would be in a paper cut?

Becky, I have lyme and bartonella. I also display these strange stretch marks. They aren't really painful or itchy they are just ugly. My knees also hurt though not so much with treatment now.

My bartonella test was done through Fry labs. They put your blood on a slide with a special stain (chemical that makes certain items in your blood more apparent). With the stain small black dots on the red blood cells can be noticed. I didn't have many but then my lyme was considerably more dominant than the bart.

Since I have treated lyme for months I have recently started bart treatments. I think that maybe with the lyme concentration reduced that the bart has increased, but it certainly has come out to mess with me. I didn't have certain bart issues until after the lyme started to go down.

By the way bart is a whole lot more of a bear to treat than my lyme was. I have been on one drop or less of ABART by byron white for over two weeks now. If I increase the dose it is too much for me to handle physically. With the lyme I could increase the dosage of herbs and supplements considerably quicker than now.

I am ornery at 26 and with treatment - fatigue, headaches, pain, overly emotional (sometimes cry for no reason when I am a very logical person), cysts on my body that can be quite painful, etc.

Before treatment it was worse much worse. I would bark at the students I work with and the apologize to them minutes later for my anger which rose from the pain, irrational annoyances like a pencil writing on paper oh that used to bug me to no end, and fatigue.

Good luck!

P23 and P41 bands positive, IBS like symptoms caused by possible candida, herbal and antiobiotic treatment, gluten free, candida diet.

I do not have a medical license so my suggestions are limited to personal experience and research. Also I am not a lawyer so if I offer advice relating to school issues it is only from my experiences as a special education teacher, my own disabilities real or Lyme induced, and research.
