I have tried, so far:
-Detox on my rife machine. For sure, this is the number 1 thing that I do. Immediately after a treatment, I run the detox setting and go from feeling miserable to gradually a little better by the time I am done. I do detox later in the day as well, since, according to Bryan Rosner's book on rife, it can take a while for the bacteria to finish dying. I have also found lots of help doing the detox setting again the next day. Just today, for instance, I was feeling so sleepy after my session yesterday, and after running the program for 26 minutes, I feel much better and can stay awake. However, I get to feeling like I could spend all day on my rife machine, so I have been searching for things to add to the rife detox.
-Epsom salt baths....I know lots of people use them, but they just don't do enough for me!
Clay.....now we are talking.
-I first tried Terramin. Terramin is a clay that can be taken internally-which I always do the night of a treatment- but they also make a bath called Terrabath. After finding the price to be a bit scary ($100 on Amazon, including shipping, for 5 lbs.), I wanted to sample it. I contacted the company, and they told me that Terramin is indeed the same product as Terrabath; it's just that Terramin is more finely ground for consumption. Terramin costs about $25 for a bottle, so I decided that it would be a good way to make sure the stuff works. Stealing 1/2 cup out of my tub still left me with plenty to use for my internal consumption.
Well, the stuff seriously helped. I felt a little better after my bath, but the next day was more telling. I woke up not feeling like I had had the hugest workout ever. I didn't hurt everywhere! I had way more energy than I usually do, for sure. And I could actually think clearly. Usually following a treatment day, this isn't the case. I usually feel like I have a flu.
-I was so impressed that I wanted to try another bath, just to see if it would help out my energy levels even more....but I didn't want to use up any more of my Terramin. So I opted for this old clay mask powder that I found in my bathroom cabinet, called Health and Beauty Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay (it's 100% natural calcium bentonite clay). It seriously helped. It's hard to say how much, as the majority of the serious herx was taken away by the Terramin. But it was definitely a keeper. I'm not sure if I want to order it, or just replace it with some other clay, such as the bulk kind found at the natural market.
-Week 2 of clay baths....I had ordered some L.L. Magnetic Clay detox. It's a bit cheaper than the Terrabath, running $65 from their website, including shipping (for 5 lbs.). Okay, granted, this one was a mess....especially if you think you are going to get away without using a blender. Not happening! But if you use the blender, it's fine enough to use in the tub (I used my Vitamix). I didn't bother with all of the tub screens, taping the tub, etc. I didn't blend the herbs into the whole box of powder, either (seriously??)....I opted to sprinkle a bit in with the clay into the bath. I did it carefully, held my breath instead of using the recommended mask. * Note....now I just blend the herbs with the clay in the blender each time..pretty easy. The reason I chose this brand (besides the cheaper cost) was because on Amazon, though it isn't available to purchase there at this time, it had awesome reviews. People talked about the magical feeling of things being pulled out of their body, etc. I don't know about magical magnet feelings, but I felt better after the bath (keep in mind, I am the queen of non-detox). I rinsed my blender and waited to see how I would feel the next day. Yep! Good as gold. Again, I woke up not in pain, feeling pretty good. I could focus. I did a lot of paperwork and was able to think clearly. This is saying something, as I had done a treatment for bartonella, yeast, and mycoplasma (this was a bit much, by the way).
Update on L.L. clay....they responded to my "how often" question with the following:
"We recommend only using the clay baths 1-2 times per week. I would speak with your doctor in regard to using both treatments. I'm not sure how the Lyme treatments make you feel, but I do know the clay baths will have you feeling fatigued, nauseous, and maybe have a slight headache. When detoxing you should take it slow, as not to overload your body."
"I would speak with your healthcare practitioner in regard to using both treatments together.
It is important to remineralize while doing the clay baths. There is a trace mineral supplement made by a company called Lumina Health called Cell Food that works really well! The clay doesn't completely remove all minerals, but it will pull some as well."
Hmm...considering that we usually have the above symptoms......-So, day 2 of this weeks rife session: I didn't want to use the L.L. clay again. I'm waiting to hear back from the company to see if it's okay to do it more than the recommended once every week or 2. Instead, I purchased some Dr. Singha's Mustard Bath, which also had rave reviews on Amazon. I put in the recommended 2 Tbsp. and tried out a soak. A 32 ounce jar is $25 by the way, but at this small serving, the jar should last a little bit, at least. Well, I felt lighter, as promised, and pretty good. But by this evening.....so sleepy (so I did the rife detox, which perked me up). It just didn't feel as potent as the clay. I don't think I would rely on it for the big treatment day bath.
Now, regarding feeling "better", it's all relative. But I normally feel like I have a flu for 4-5 days after a bartonella treatment. I felt way better the next day, but then I felt yucky a couple of days later, due to a flu (which I did rife for); yeast (don't know if that makes me feel yucky); and mycoplasma (which definitely makes me feel yucky). So not sure if I would have felt awesome without the added bugs! Tomorrow will be pretty telling though (day 2 after treatment day). I haven't had much steam today, and can't wait to see how it goes without the extra bugs, but with 2 doses of clay. ;)
Next, I am trying burbur. I did a bit tonight, since the mustard bath didn't do as much....I feel better, but think that's mostly from the rife detox.
I'll keep adding to these notes, and hopefully add some more details. :)
I'll sign off with this interesting article on Lyme "cures". I would prefer that it was quoted verbatim, but it's a good read.

Update: I used the L.L. Detox clay after doing a Lyme treatment again (it had been over a month since I treated for Lyme, and I could feel it). I felt the run-over-by-a-freight train feeling the next morning...but not sure if this is because I had waited so long to do a treatment. Sigh. Wonder if there will ever be normal circumstances to get good results, lol?
Actually, last week, I did a bart treatment and the L.L. bath and was doing well enough that night that I was able to get out of the house for a friend's birthday party! Granted, I ended up so exhausted by 10:30 that Jerry had to carry me from the house, but the fact that I was even up to going anywhere was pretty remarkable. I also think that this has a bit to do with the fact that I am beating the bartonella up a bit. ;) Today I have done another bart treatment, as well as a long candida setting (these 2 bugs sure seem to hang out together a lot..), and there aren't any other odd circumstances. Tomorrow will be telling.
Burbur- Well, at $12 or something on Amazon, it sounds like you can't lose, right? Well, consider this: there are only 60 drops in a bottle. If you take 10 drops at a time, and every 15 minutes at that (until symptoms are relieved), that bottle doesn't last very long! Still, if it meant that Jerry could go to work, it might be worth it. But it's something I am going to have to think about more. One night it seemed magical; another time, not so much..? I think I will try some out tomorrow. I am determined to try to find out which things are working by spacing them out a bit.
