lyme diagnosis but can't get antibiotics wtf

[krazieamc]

so i have been dealing health issues for the beeter part of 4yrs now. severe fatigue heart palps tachycardia but all ekgs come back fine, as of the last 4-6 months been forgetting where i am or why i went to wherever i might be tons of muscle ticks(yes pun intended), severely stiff neck that comes and goes, muscle fatigue/weakness, bad headaches, dizzyness. i'm sure there is more but i don't have all the symptoms all the time so.. anyway i finally found a dr (a naturopath) who mentioned lyme about 1 year ago so i slowly started getting tests done as i have no medical and must pay out of pocket. he convinced me to get the igennix lyme test got the results on mon the 12th of nov. he says i have lyme though doesnt meet the cdc criteria. now i find out he doesnt like to prescribe antibiotics and wants me to do soome 2 month detox program, get checked for heavy metal toxins and treat that if needed, also remove/replace any metal fillings then and only then would begin to actually kill of the da&n spirochetes. wtf! i have lost my job my house missed out on the first year of my daughters life and now can't get antibiotics? here are the results of the igenex test:

IGM                                    IGG
18kda = ++++                     18kda = -
23-25kda = IND                    23-25kda = -
28kda = -                            28kda = -
30kda = +                           30kda = -
31kda = +                           31kda = IND
34kda = ++                         34kda = -
39kda = IND                        39kda = IND
41kda = ++                         41kda = ++
45kda = -                            45kda = -
58kda = +++                       58kda = ++
66kda = -                            66kda = -
83-93kda = ++                    83-93kda = -

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?

[krazieamc]

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.
