This has been annoying but my problem is that there have been no specifics.
What kind of substance is these? How does it kill the bacteria? Does it
increase your energy level? How much does it cost? How much do you take each
day? Does it lessen joint pain? Does it reduce cognitive impairment? etc.,
etc., etc.,
The fact that NONE of this type of information has been offered makes me
suspect. People are certainly welcome to offer things that have improved their
symptoms on this NG, but normally they do explain what has happened that would
cause them to tell us about the product/drug/supplement.
When a blanket endorsement is made for *anything* my radar goes up and I
generally reject it as "too good to be true".

Susan makes a very good point. I also will be waiting (with eager
anticipation)
to review VALID studies in respected scientific journals. Until that
point, testimonials
over the Internet from people I've neither heard of, nor met, have
absolutely no value or credibility to me.
Betsy, who is eagerly awaiting the miracle cure, and is ready to jump up
and down with optimism:-

Thank you for your recent inquiry and your interest. Our clinical studies
were with over 100 participants, but we have not compiled their written
testimonials as of yet. The clinical studies took place at independent
clinics where doctors undertook this for subjective studies. We do hope to
get more testimonials on the website and just in print within the next few
weeks. We will gladly answer any questions you may have as well. Check
with you MD also, since we do have quite a few MD's around the country that
are now using Borrelogen. We really were not prepared for the demand for
the product and are now having to prepare for the increasing number of
requests. We do welcome your call or emails and we will do our best to help
you. Our greatest concern is to improve your health. Borrelogen is not a
cure all or a cure. We do know that it greatly benefits people though.
Again, thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you
again.
Their actions are detestable if they think they can profit on our
misery. No professional ethics wahtsoever here.

It's a bunch of herbs. I'll run it past my naturopath next week. I am on
some herbs, but none of the ones look familiar in this formulation. My
naturopath knows of herbs that may be useful in Lyme, but she uses certain
ones on an individual basis. She is also aware that there are some
companies out there to avoid. I'll listen to her.
The way they are marketing this, initially using the religious approach
(that they saw REALLY backfired on them - so backed off) is super sleezy.
Of course, they will rope in the truly desperate, and That PO's me big time.
And if this stuff is so hot shot, send it to someone we know and believe in.
Then we'll follow their reactions.
Anyway, there is no way in God's green earth that this is some magic bullet.
There aren't any.

Just be careful of Chinese medicine, it can be potent!!! Some of the herbs
etc they use are fairly toxic and you should check all the ingredients. I
do know there was some sort of Chinese potion for psoriasis some time back
and it caused liver damage, failure in some children. And I believe that at
the time the practitioners giving this potion were told to ask if the
person receiving it had ever suffered jaundice, even as a baby. Not saying
don't try it, but if you do check to be sure you know what you are taking
and do a search on the web for side effects and counterindications.
Dear Marnie,
Of course I have taken antibioitcs for over 6 years. I found that they got
me "so far", so began exploring alternatives as adjunctives; now I am
maintaining on them. And if I do relapse, I will not hesitate to go back on
them.
I used to so be anti-non-Western medicine (I mean I did research in
medical physiology), I am ashamed at how narrow-minded I was.
Cheeze.......But when you find that you can't get off a plateau or
antibiotics, you try other things.......
I have done a number of things over the years. First I used EMF therapy and
that helped greatly with pain, energy levels and other symptoms. Then I
found HBOT, once my babesiosis was under control to help me greatly. After
that(last Sept), I pulled off all antibiotics using a 1 month Flagyl
pulloff, and went to my naturopath/chiropath/acupressure person who
individualized my treatment approach. I found that acupressure,
craniosacraltherapy, chiropractic, and certain herbs help me. Some of the
herbs that I take are red clover, gallium, burdock, but there are others
that I may be taking in the future. When I have a cold or flu or stress, I
take others. It is very individualized. I found that I could not appraoch
this willy-nilly. The doctor knows that not one thing may help each person,
and that one may need others at a later date. I also have found that
Vitamin B injections (12, 6, 5 and multiple) at differing time intervals
have made my neurologic problems minimal. Also Mg plus CA, I am also taking
an individualized vitamin, digestive enzymes, organic minerals, "Cataplex -
one of several types to aid in immune function". Also, am on a
constitutional homeopathic remedy.
It seems to be a puzzle as to how to appraoch this disease, and it takes a
lot of patience and willing to experiment. So, my only recommendation if
you wish to explore alternatives is to seek the advice of a good (by word of
mouth) alternative practioner. That may be hard in alot of areas of the
country, though, I realize.
Also, the tape by Dr. Raxlen, explores a good number of these, also.

I'd like to read research about this product, too...I'd like to know how this
product tells the body to seek Bb out. I'd like to know how it tells our
bodies to "see and find" Bb and how this product tells our bodies to KILL THE
SUCKERS. What is in this that tells our bodies to do that? I'm waiting...

An initial write-up of my first HBOT experience can be found on Lyme
Alliance web at : http://www.lymealliance.org/html/med1.html
I did relapse after this a couple months later, but the relapse hade a
curious "flavor": much muscle pain and sweating with fatigues although neruo
stuff didn't get worse. I hypothesized that maybe another infection (either
super or a co-infection) might have been made worse by the treatment.
Checked for Babesiosis and the ehrlichioses. Found that I had Babesiosis,
and figured that might be the culprit. I got treated with Clindamycin and
quinine in August, redid HBOT in September for three weeks and used
Zithromax pulsing (I have never been on IV - it's real hard to get in the
NW!!). Then I used 1 gram of Flagyl/day after the tratment for not quite a
month. Treated with diflucan for the candida, and used alternatives since.
I feel that it was pivotal in my regaining a healthier status, but feel that
one should rule out co-infections like Babesiosis first (or get them under
control) before doing it.
An in vitro study and in vivo animal study that will be up and running
shortly on the East coast will help delineate the particulars on HBOT and
Bb. The LA helped collect funds for this study, and I am excited about what
the results will yield. Potassium Iodide will also be looked at as a
possible treatment, too.

And read the testimonials on the web site. In one case, a person supposedly
used Borrelogen to treat early disease: "I went for a 2nd opinion testing
shoed (sic) the bacteria for Lyme disease. I began his recommended treatment
of Borrelogen. Five weeks later I was tested clear of the Lyme bacteria. I
am very grateful that we could treat it early because I've read that Lyme
can have very devastating symptoms years later if left untreated."
What is this implying? To use this stuff instead of antibiotics for early
disease? Is this irresponsible or dangerous? And how anyone knew that Lyme
bacteria were "cleared" is beyond reality.
And the next testimonial shows a "D.C." who used it for treating Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever! That is treading on dangerous ground.
So make your own decisions on this kind of stuff. Use your horsesense.
Rita
