Sure sounds like it.

So much of this is guesswork, but in my view, I've seen the urine dribbling situation increase whenever the toxic metals are at play. This can happen from busting biofilm, or killing parasites. I wonder if the alinia is at play, given that it could be killing parasites. Another thing to be aware of with alinia, is that it has aluminum in it, as part of the coloring (the jerks!). Doesn't mean it's toxic metals in your case, just what I've seen. But you might think about if you should be doing more than you are, regarding chelating the toxic metals (chlorella? EDTA? ...).

I'm not familiar with liquid oxygen, not sure exactly what this is, maybe you could post a link to the product, or explain it a little more. But, I will say, before I knew I had lyme, I used an oxygen concentrator for 2 hrs a day for a couple months. I was wearing a mask and inhaling air that a machine was creating from the household air that had aboug 97% oxygen in it. Similar to buying those 100% oxygen tanks and inhaling from that (not that I've ever done that). For reference, people believe the earth, pre-industrial, had air that was about 30% oxygen, and now it is perhaps 20%, although Los Angeles is maybe 10%, and certainly, over oceans it is more and in big cities it is less. I was doing this to address fatigue. By the end of each session, I was kind of light-headed and foggy-thinking and tired. The timing was normally done in the evenings, just because that's when I had time, so I normally went from there to bed, so it wasn't a problem. If anything, the daziness made sleep come easier. But, looking back, I do feel it probably was a "herx" of sorts, from killing various bugs. So, I do believe high concentrations of oxygen can kill bugs and cause symptoms from that.

Thanks for the quote. I had thought I heard it was viruses ... as this says that "some" nagalase is derived / "some" bacteria create nagalase ... maybe both? I guess it all depends what is the cause in your son's case, and if the xifaxan or vanco will do much with those bacteria. I remember one doc giving me xifaxan and saying it's pretty broad spectrum, used to "clean the slate and start over". Seems possible. I'm not sure if I'd bother testing or not after, depending on purpose of giving these. If it's to treat the nagalase and you might go longer if it's helping, perhaps it's worth testing to see if it did anything meaningful. If it's to treat something else and you're moving on regardless, I'd be more interested in the later outcome a couple months later than right after, to see where you stand after the dust really settles. It gets to the age-old question of testing, are you doing it to just learn whatever you can for possible future use, or to answer a specific question on what to do next...

Not really a facebook user, so I haven't seen that page. Seems to be similar confirmation of how important the adrenals/thyroids can be to getting things working on their own, without the injections. While surprising and good news to see nagalase progress without the GcMAF, in a way, it is consistent with what I believe Dr. K. said once at a conference (if I remember correctly) ... that every 0.1 degree of body temperature increase, the level of infection one has will decrease by about 1/2. So, as an example, if addressing adrenals/thyroids increases body temperature by 0.7 (from 97.9 to 98.6), the result will be infection levels of less than 1% of previous level. Apparently, the bugs can't stand the heat!

Just wanted to update you one where I am with this. Use of GcMAF along with homeopathic nosodes for lyme really wore me down energywise over a period of several weeks, incredible fatigue. After trying years to fix adrenals/thyroids without meds, started on hydrocortisone (low dose) to replace adrenal function, and have energy, and now it looks like HomeoK MAF homeopathic from BioPure is working, replacing the need for the GcMAF injections. That's what I'm seeing after 2-3 weeks. Maybe over a long period, things will be different. It seems to me, the hydrocortisone is giving me the energy to make my own MAF, whereas I couldn't before. When I was doing the GcMAF injections, I needed something like 50,000 - 100,000 IU of vitamin D many days when the injections were given (which was daily for some period of time). The literature describes this as a binding protein, binding the macrophages with vitamin D. So it makes sense that this stuff really uses up vitamin D quickly, as seems to be the case.

Could you send me the name of that N.Falls practitioner you are mentioning? I visit that area occasionally and he could be a good resource.

So sorry about the mess. Dr. Klinghardt of the Seattle Washington area has a lot of excellent non-abx treatment ideas, as well. They have some practitioners trained on his approach in various parts of the country/world. I don't know about Canada, but it is a possibility you could look into. There are other practitioners in his office that go by a similar approach, and I know that at least one does some appointments via Skype, so there is possibility to get a lot of help in this regard. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, there is a lot you can read that Dr. K. has written. But if you want you, you could get it there, or even locally via phone/computer.

You can find it on the internet and read or even a youtube. Various methods, and you will find your own. Key is a cloth, wool or cotton, and good castor oil. The cloth can be bought on iherb.com or at some health food stores. I really think Premier Research Labs castor oil is much higher quality than available in health food stores. It's still relatively inexpensive, as you need a couple small bottles to get started, but then, ongoing, it's a very small amount you need to add to the cloth. Biggest mistake people make is adding too much oil, then it runs out onto your couch or whatever. Biggest trick is finding a way to keep the oil contained and not getting over everything. I wrap well in plastic wrap (like for food), in one piece, around the body a few times. Still, some will leak, and good sturdy plastic underneath to collect, perhaps with an old towel, is important, as some will leak almost all the time. You need a heater like people use to apply heat to a body, to keep the cloth warm for the hour while over your liver. Some heat the cloth in a dish in the oven first. To me, that just gets you another dish and mess to clean, as the heater will warm it up in 5 or so minutes. The used cloth gets saved in a jar in the refrigerator, so taking it out a couple hours ahead of time allows it to warm up first a little bit. These are just my thoughts, they'll probably make more sense after watching/reading about it from one or two other sources, but, like I said, everyone will get their own methods.

How about castor oil pack on the liver? It is thought to really energize liver and get it to detox more. I find this to be great for me. I notice less acne on my back, and much less need for SAMe and NAC (supplements that support detox), when I keep up with these, all clues it really helps with detox. I like to do this once a week, although seems to end up like every other week.
