Why wear a ribbon?

 
"I wear the Lime ribbon because I was perfectly healthy intil I got Lyme's diseas..." (sleepygrl)

MDJunction to me

scotty04901"MDJ to me is an added phase in my recovery as a 44 year survivor of a TBI. I hope that with what I have lived through in those years, will be able to help all those who are just now going through. It is important to understand that even after 44 yrs, I am continuing to recover and to evolve. I just hope I can help others." (scotty04901)

good info, thanks!

I ordered a bottle of spiro a month ago, and my LLMD doesn't want me to take this with my abx combo. My husband is thinking about starting this...but we weren't sure about interactions with his other supplements (magnesium, cod liver oil, vit d3, ubiquinol, epicor, saccharomyces boulardii, probiotic, multivit)

Do you know of any interactions? I have read nothing but great things about spiro and I hope it works!

I am not a medical doctor YET...my opinions are not approved by the FDA! ;)

“If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”
-John Heywood

"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."

I havent come across any interactions...but I do know that when it does work for someone - and they take too much it can cause some massive herxing - and based on personal exp and that of my family - we all seem to herx where we have the most of these buggers...

So for me - its my spine...eesh I have had a couple of rough herxing - just because I either took too much or forgot for more then 5 days...

oops - forgot - you can check out www.rain-tree.com for more info
