I saw my doctor the other day for the first time and she was explaining the whole Lyme disease thing and how she treats it. Anyway, she said overtime they can create eggs inside of the body and they hide on the inside. She also mentioned that she uses a supplement to break down the barrier. Oh ,she also said the supplement is made up of ground earthworms Anyone get the same news from their LLMD? I can't believe I have those nasty little suckers in my body, gross!! Is their any other way to break this barrier instead taking an earthworm supplement? What do you guys take? Thanks |

Hi beenie- Are you sure she didn't say cyst form? That is shaped like an egg, maybe she was referring to that? I believe she's talking about Cordyceps...it's a Chinese herb that is made from earthworms.. When you have this disease, you take just about anything that comes down the line if it helps..lol.. Do you like your new doc? She sounds knowledgable so far.. peace-kim Post edited by: fabajenna, at: 10/13/2011 04:00 PM All of my advice comes from research and personal experience.

Peace . . . starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on. When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness. For some of us, the most effective way to do so is through religious practice. For others it may be non-religious practices. What is important is that we each make a sincere effort to take our responsibility for each other and for the natural environment we live in seriously.

Beenie - Kim is right. I think your LLMD said/meant cyst form. There is also an Earth Worm supplement called "LUMBROSKINAS" that is sold in HF stores. BTW: It's not really made from earth worms, per se, but rather the enzymes they use to dissolve the dirt that they eat.

Ok thanks  !! I'm sure she meant cysts. Maybe said eggs so I could grasp the concept more? Had total brain fog when I saw her that day. I'm really liking my doc., she is very compassionate and determined to help me fight this! Also, if the Lumbrokinase is taken on a regular basis, will this keep the cysts away for good? |

@ GWB Thanks for that article, very interesting! Nope, my doc, didn't mention anything for parasites. What is good for parasites anyway? Thanks |

I just wanted to weigh in here on the earthworm issue... They actually are completely safe to ingest (as long as they are clean and such!!) My brother actually made peanut butter cookies one time and used ground up, boiled earthworms as a protein booster, to see if the taste and texture would be offensive to anyone. My mom ate one and the only problem was it was grainy. She thought he had dropped the dough on the floor and still used it! LOL Anyway, all that to say, don't be so grossed out by something like that. Many, many living things on this earth (and non-living) are gross to think about in the natural, but are healing and miraculous when applied properly. Think of penicillin. Mold.  Hope you all enjoyed my story. It was 100% true.
Lauren Was diagnosed with Autonomic Disorder, POTS, Interstitial Cystitis, and Fibromyalgia. True story is I have late stage Lyme which has caused these things. Just began the fight in October 2011 (have been full-blown Lyme since Sept. 5, 2010), and WILL be victorious! Positive bands: IgG 41 and 60; IgM 23 and 41. CDC positive!
Not a doctor, not anyone of any legal standing... just someone on the search.
(Translation: Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. Always see your doctor when needing medical advice.) |

@WiscLamLymie: you are right, at this point I am kind of desperate, so I will chug down anything now. Penicillin does rock! |

WiscLam- I will now think about that if I ever get to eat a peanut butter cookie again, I love it! I'm actually allergic to penicillin, I guess that's why I had such a battle with the systemic yeast.. I love your story, your Mom is a Saint for thinking he dropped it and ate it anyway..lol..mom's are so awesome like that. peace-kim All of my advice comes from research and personal experience.

"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!
