After the past few years of trial and error, these are the things that have really helped me heal. It is always subject to change depending on what new things I discover. Sometimes I would stop a certain herb or oil only to find my symptoms coming back, so I would add that back in. In no way do I get any monetary gain from the products I mention, these are just what I have found works for me. These probably cost me around $300 a month. I know that may seem pricey, but it keeps me alive and well. Plus if you factor in all the money on co pays, OTC drugs and prescription drugs it might be cheaper in the long run. I have spent thousands on trying other treatments like IV drips, B 6 Shots, tons of vitamins, acupuncture, and other treatments so I find this less costly and more effective than other things I have tried.
Not one treatment plan will work for everyone and this is where “sway testing” will come into play. I will share a whole post on this subject. Once you learn how to test for yourself, you can test any herb, supplement, food, or oil and see what will work for you. I even test these on a daily basis as I’m taking them to see what I really need that day so I’m not wasting my money.
The following are all things that have helped in my healing process. Most of these are antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic and anti fungal.
Cat’s Claw Powder
Artemisinin
Eleuthero Root Powder
Iodoral
Colloidal Silver – used short term
Salt
Cryptolepis Tincture
MSM Powder
CSA Formula from Woodland Essence. This is a combination of Cryptolepis, Sida Acuta and Alchornea.
Teasel Root is an herb that has helped many people with Lyme Disease. Wolf D. Storl wrote a great book called Healing Lyme Disease Naturally. He did a lot of research on Teasel and highly recommends it. I started with Teasel a few years ago and definitely saw an improvement. There are two kinds and you must be sure to get the Dipsacus Sylvestris. You must start very small, one drop a day, to prevent too many die off reactions. Woodland Essence carries a good one and there are also some on Amazon. This should generally be used short term.
Well Scent Oils. These were really life changing and I did not realize until recently that the owners of the company are 5 women who are all Lyme Disease survivors. Two that I use are specifically for Lyme. Balance and Renew. They can be pricey but the dosage is small so they last a while. well-scent.com
Young Living has some great oils you could rotate and try. Some can be ingested, some cannot. I have experimented with Thieves, Cinnamon Bark, Lemon, Oregano, Cedarwood, RC, Eucalyptus and Frankincense. youngliving.com
Supreme Nutrition Products – I found these through my sister who was given them by her chiropractor. There are some amazing ones specifically for Lyme, parasites, viruses, and infections. Their website goes into great detail on each product. I have had great success with their products. They sell a testing kit for $19.99 so if you do muscle testing or have a practitioner that does you can order this and see which products work for you before buying them. It comes with a handbook with great information on each product. The first product I tried was Vital Guard Supreme and after the first few days I noticed a huge improvement. I have tried their Vital Guard, Body Guard, Woad, Golden Thread, Melia, Smilax and Mimosa. Each has a dosage on the bottle. supremenutritionproducts.com
Parasites usually go hand in hand with Lyme disease. People often think of parasites as only intestinal, but parasites can live anywhere in your body affecting any organ and your blood. The best parasite cleanse I have found is Renew Life Parasmart. You can sometimes find this at Whole Foods or Amazon. I would recommend it not as a one time cleanse but an ongoing supplement.
Nutramedix has a whole “Cowden Protocol” to follow for Lyme disease. That seemed a little too overwhelming for me but I did use their Banderol, Burbur -Pinella Detox, and Samento with some success.
This is what I take now on a daily basis.

Always keep a journal of when you stop and start taking a supplement and at the same time take note of how you are feeling. Research for yourself, “sway test” products and see what works for you.
