malignant tumer in brain

"Very minimal" also seems like a very "how long is a string" expression...
I get very leery about blanket statements and generalizations.

But never mind, I think we agree about the general outlines anyway.

Tanya,
Have you had much experience curing Lyme homeopathically? Especially with advanced cases? Treating advanced Lyme (meaning anything beyond the first month or two) is extremely difficult. I'd love to hear cure stories using just homeopathy as I've seen a case or two that quickly advanced to paralysis without antibiotics. The majority of homeopaths I've spoken to regarding Lyme say it is the one instance they suggest treating with antibiotics immediately.
Truly,
Erica

Hi Erica,
I have not treated any chronic cases of lyme myself.
I have to wonder that homeopaths suggest antibiotics. It seems to
me that it is the failure of the case taking as opposed to homeopathy.
In my early years of study asthma was the big exceptional pathology
that we were warned about. But we do know that homeopathy can
manage and heal asthma.
People will make the decisions they make and we need to be
respectful of that. What we do need to do is work on honing up our
skills of perception and analysis so we can begin to treat these
insidious cases. Actually we have this as a necessary mandate as
healers and considering all the new levels of disease being heaped upon
us by all the toxicity of meds, agricultural toxins, environmental disasters
like the current BP oil debacle in the Carribean we will be on constant
call for deeper understandings of illness.

I thought Lyme was difficult to diagnose in early stages, absent the rash?
What are the likely first signs?

Erica,

I have a friend who has several Lyme patients and she says they are a management challenge, but they are doing well on homeopathy.

what kind of management challenges are you talking about?
i think it would be useful for people to know this

I would LOVE to hear specific examples of treating Lyme, what issues came up, what posology was used / needed (high vs low, and frequency needed?), what the starting symptoms were, and the time and path to resolution -- anyone have some they'd be up to sharing?

Tanya,

They are not my clients. All we have discussed is that she is treating several folks who are chronic Lyme patients, who had long term antibiotic treatment that did not help them. She says they are more time consuming then many of her other cases. Sorry I can't be more specific then that.

Thanks Sue
Just read a small piece on Lyme by an md. The latest on this disease is that
it is not just lyme. Other bacteria are involved more and more according to the
film Under Our Skin. The film noted that the lyme organism is now being infected
itseld with bartonella and babesia complicating the condition. Further, the mds
do not test for these other infectious agents and most labs don't do even a
reasonable job of identification. The article listed a number of tests and markers
that needed to be looked for and that the labs do not do that, particularly the large
national labs according to this md who wrote the article.
Interestingly, he cites artemesia as an herb that impacts the condition--of course
along with drugs.
What I liked about the article is his focus on individualizing the treatment (sounds
like homeopathy) and that he recognizes the mental and emotional changes that
occur with people. He even notes that people are medicalized out and refuse
the testing and treatment due to their emotional/mental changes. That may be
part of the difficulties that you referred to.

Tanya,

There are huge M/E changes that come with Lyme disease. I attended a meeting of both victims and family and discovered that it mimics so many other diseases, people are Dx as Parkinson's or just dementia, when they really have Lyme and have always had it but no one Dx it.
