I know that Flagyl and Topomax are cyst busters.
yeah i think since my doc is a naturopath and not specifically an llmd he tries to do everything naturally as much as possible. out of curiosity what antibiotics are capable of busting up the cyst forms? i havent stumbled onto any mention of that before. and yes having so much "information" available i.e. internet can be good and bad regarding any health concern too easy to get misinformation.
Ah, got it. My Lyme doc is an all-antibiotics-all-the-way kind of guy, so I don't know much about the herbal approaches.
If you're head is clear enough to do reading on the topic, roaming around the web (with a skeptical eye) can provide a lot of information on these things, always with the caution that some percentage of it is wrong, misleading and/or dangerous. ... then again, docs can be that way too sometimes. heh.
Hope you're feeling better soon --
i believe that was part of the idea behind the samento/banderol combo which i did for like two weeks, also i have been looking into something called serrapeptase.
I don't recall if anyone above has already mentioned the need for cyst-busting meds to crack the door open so doxy can get to the Lyme bugs to kill them. Doxy seems to work in the earliest stages of Lyme before the bacteria are able to hide themselves in a cyst form that doxy can't break through. Did your naturopath discuss that aspect?
thanx for the responses, yes i have been on magnesium for about 8 to 10 months now. i just got home from appt with naturopath and i am starting doxy tonight or tomorrow depending on when the paharmacy gets it filled. so i guess we shall see what happens on those.
