Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere.

Samento for Lyme

I have read a few weeks back that Samento (Cats Claw) killed the bacteria. If this is true I would love to know. Also, I think it started a herxing cycle just like Doxy did. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi Sharron. I do not have any personal experience with Samento, but I believe many people who have Lyme take it.

Hopefully someone who is taking it will see your post.

Hi Julie - so, is it hard to tell if the Samento makes you herx? One thing, you were so kind to send the name of your dr. to me, and I did call him. I had an appt. in Ft. Laud. so I did not make an appt. with your dr. Since you have had Lyme for 2 years did he do the PICC (IV antibiotics)?

Hi Lymebytes, thank for your inquiory, I still have not been able to find a LL dr. I live in SE Florida so not I have an appt. with a dr. in Tampa, if that dosen't work out I have an appt. in Lakeland in Jan. The 3rd. inf. dis. dr. did give me another script for Doxy, I'm taking that until I can find help. This does make me herx, so I know it is doing some good. I'll be awah from my computer til Jan. 7
EVERYONE, PLEASE TRY TO HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY

Hi Sharron. Will you be seeing Dr. C? He comes highly recommended. When is your appointment? I hope it goes well!

I agree that your reaction to the Doxy is significant.

Happy Holidays!!!!

Sharon , I see Dr C and have been for a while. Very understanding and knowledgeable man. I am starting iwth the Samento now and mix it with something called Cumanda or something like that. I have had a real good herx when I upped the dose to twice a day. After years of abx, I will try this for now.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
