MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

Hi,

Just upped my dowse of Bryon White Formula A-L complex and now my heart feel shaky at odd intervals and I get light headed. Any thoughts or similar symptoms anyone? I have been really careful to slowly increase my dose so it was weird to have one drop increase make such a difference.

Hey there... I sent you a PM, by the way. Smile

Also, I wanted to add two ideas for you regarding this:

1. YES a one-drop increase of BW formulas CAN have a dramatic effect. This is indicative of your need to back up to the previous dose and stay there for a bit. It may be a few days to a week; it may be a month. Depends on the person.

Tachycardia and palpitations, lightheadedness, increase in head pressure, even hearing "whooshing" sounds and/or buzzing/ringing in the ears are all symptoms of Lyme, but more typically Babesia. This is a common co-infection for Lyme ad is a blood-borne parasite.

So...

2. You could be getting the Lyme load down enough that the Babesia has risen to a higher load and you are now experiencing symptoms of that.

Do you know if you have any co-infections? It is by far much rarer nowadays to not have co-infections, sadly. Ticks are vile cesspools of nastiness. You can quote me on that! LOL The fact is, they carry much more than Borrelia Burgdorferi (Bb) and this can be a typical reason why people don't seem to get better with Lyme treatment.

If you don't know, make sure you approach your LLMD/ND about co's, and if you have other questions, feel free to ask. PM me or throw the questions out on the forum here. There are many knowledgeable people here, of course. Smile

Lots of love,

Lauren

Ptbug - Like Lauren said, 1 drop of BWFscan make all the difference in the world.

I take them for Myco & HHV-6. On the A-Myco I was fine up until 6 drops, 2x's a day. Then I added 1 more drop, 2'x a day & thought I was going to die!!! I had to back off them for a couple of days & start back again at 6 drops, 2x's a day.

Everyone is different. Some people can take 15-20 drops, some can't handle even 1 drop & have to do 1/2 drops. It's like my LLMD told me, "Listen to your body. It will tell you what it needs."

Best wishes to you & your recovery!!!

Thank you all so much for your response. I will definitely hold my dose steady until symptoms subside. So far the only confection they think I have is Protomyxzoa. I'm not sure if it can have these symptoms or not.

I wish you all well on your trip to health too!

I haven't even heard of that co-infx! Wow. Stumping me on co's... not an easy thing to do! LOL Laughing Laughing Laughing

I would say decreasing your dose by one drop might be beneficial for you. For a few days at least. Then try to ramp back up by one drop. We are always told (in my state's Lyme support group) to back off by a drop once we hit that big change.

Just my thoughts. Wink

Are you all doing this protocol on your own or are you working with a LLMD or ND? Do most of you feel like you're making progress on the BW remedies? How long have you all been on them?

Thanks!

Gary

I'm working with a LLND and Ive had more of a response with the BW formulas than with the antiobiotics. I had a big herx reaciton when i first got on the BW. I am still on the antibiotics though. I've only been on Bw for 2 months.

GWB - I am working with an LLMD.

IMO, I think BWFs are way more effective than ABXs & they do not cause yeast issues. As for the anti-virals, my LLMD wants me to stay on them while treating with the BWFs.
