Buckron,

Thanks for your reply.

I've used Google and all I find there are sites that either sell it or promote its use.

I was asking for any real science studies done, such as found on pubmed.

So I guess there are none ----and that testimonials are the 'gold standard' for Samento.

I'm glad you're happy with Samento. I've read that many people are.

Anyone else have a scientific study on Samento to offer?

My doctor does not use Samento to start killing germs. He uses it as a measuring device, then prescribes antibiotics to kill the germs. He does not keep patients on it because he does not consider it a viable treatment for Lyme.

He does offer supplementation to help patients "feel better" while fighting Lyme, and part of his practice (non-Lyme patients) is in using vitamins and supplements to maintain health as one ages, not to cure anything.

Ron, you are an admitted "self-healer", and it seems you have completely lost confidence in medical science. I have not, and I only put my trust in scientifically studied therapies and medications. Vitamins and minerals are fine for supplementation, but nothing beyond that.

If you believe in all the things you read on the internet and you are willing to try them in order to cure yourself, then go for it and I wish you well.

Thanks for your advice, but no, it's not for me.

Tom

Thanks guys. I'm a newbie with this disease and wanted to know if anyone had success with it. I've heard alot of good things about it. I've also heard that what works for one person may not for another. If there's something new that is working for someone, you never know it may help someone else. It's nice to hear people's experiences and thoughts. I've also heard the Marshall Protocol works... So....

I agree with and live my life by the following quotes:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

AND

"Love your neighbor as yourself"

Pamela:

Email Connie and she will explain her treatment to you, she is doing really well...

I did the abx route for 6 months then went the natural route like many others. For me the abx route was over, they did help but then I decided to go the natural route like connie, and clayton, so please email her she will have great information for you.

Tom:

I have to disgree with you - your statment Vitamins and minerals are fine for supplementation, but nothing beyond that. HOW do you know that??

Also I don't think Ron has lost confidence in medical science. sometimes it just does not work for one...SO what you are telling people is that "Natural medicine does not work" when for some it does.

We have many on this board that have gotten well using natural products..

As I can't use abx's my doctor got me well using them, and I am doing very well...

Lyme will not win, we will and we WILL…

Natural protocol is working for me and my son, that's all I can tell you. He used traditional abx for a long time, no progress, actually got worse. Even though we both have Lyme, our protocols at the clinic are individualized and reviewed very few weeks.

We all make our own treatment choices, we share info, I think we should all be respectful of those choices, not critical...

Ann: I agree...I was not trying to pick a fight with tom, but I think that statement was harsh....

Completely Lost Confidence Medical Science? Nope Medical Science can involve anything including stuff like essential oils,or S****to (not allowed)FIR anything! I really had confidence in medical science before i went to my Doc..i was scared to death full of joint pain.So in confidence i went to see Doc..i wanted to get better and was actually seeking something like ABX.She told me i was nuts so i left feeling awful and not quite so happy with the health care attitude.I knew i needed to do something fast and i could not get abx even if i wanted.Time was a critical factor in my opinion..That bullseye rash threw me off a lot but my wife and i decided indeed it was Lyme.That very same day as my yukky Doc appointment my wife and i did some serious research ..I took a chance and ordered 14 bottles of TOA free Cats Claw..had it in 2 days..3 weeks later my joint pain was gone! I thought wow this is awesome and continued on my natural protocol as i basically had no other choice..i was not about to drive hundreds of miles looking for a Doc to tell me i had Lyme.Guess my Doc forced me to take care of myself and i am so glad i chose the natural route.I feel excellent now some aches and pains but no big deal.I fully intend to stay on my protocol until the end of my days..as i believe those Spiro's can hide in ya safe from almost anything...just waiting to come out and reak havoc once again.Natural works for me i would be crazy to go off it
