Mary Ellen, one of our CS members had spectacular success with his daughter,
who was better in about a year using the Salt and C protocol.
This is a group I was impressed with when I was researching the subject:

The Lyme photos site is certainly well worth trawling through.
Lyme Disease, Fibromyalgia, MS, Salt and C protocol, saunas,
A Dr Whitaker at Bowen Lab found Lyme in 100% of fibromyalgia
sufferers tested. It has also been found that many people diagnosed with
Multiple Sclerosis (cause unknown) have been found to be suffering from Lyme
Disease (which while usually attributed to a tick bite is now found to be
acquired in other ways also.)
People on the Lymestrategies list have found Igenex and Bowen lab
tests reliable for testing for Lyme, but other orthodox tests do not reveal it.
Lymephotos.com has a number of microscope photos of organisms
observed in the body of Lyme patients, and the original Salt and Vitamin C
protocol is listed there. The salt indicated on that protocol is salt tablets.
However, some people are taking sea salt, Celtic salt Himalayan or other good,
mineral rich salt and Vitamin C and finding it also is effective in killing
spirochetes etc. in the body. They start with a small dose such as 1 gram a day
and increase gradually, with most marked results coming from the higher doses.
There are a variety of symptoms as it takes effect, skin eruptions etc. The
herxes are pretty powerful, and people can also be surprised to find tiny
parasitic creatures exiting the body through the skin or mucous membranes as
they seek to escape the dehydrating effects of the salt. Some believe it would
work for Morgellons and other unusual infestations also.
People on the protocol take salt in a variety of ways as they
choose, some dissolved in water, others pop a little in their mouth from a
measured dose in a dish throughout the day, some in capsules. Taking it with
food, while good, is not counted as part of the dose.
We have been so indoctrinated to avoid salt that we are lacking in
it, as is our food. In former times, people consumed from 20 to 40 grams a
day. However, today the salt most people use is refined sodium chloride, which
has none of the original natural minerals. So many old remedies involved salt
solutions, such as bathing the eyes with it, sniffing it up the nostrils,
gargling with it, bathing the feet in it, and so on, but many of us have
ignored these because they were so simple.
Many people are finding surprising results from using salt alone,
but the Vitamin C is part of the Lyme S/C protocol, and deals with viruses.
Lyme and Sauna:
Mark Firefox on Lymestrategies said that the Lyme spirochete,
Babesia burgdorferi (Bb), lacks "heat shock proteins" and is therefore affected
by body fevers, and so sauna exposure may impede its forming protein-derived
cyst walls efficiently. Drs. Agatha and Calvin Thrash showed that Lyme and
other pathogenic infections could be greatly impacted/reduced with sauna use.
Bb seeks to lessen the sweating ability of many Lymies via the hypothalamus.
Pathogenic gram-negative microbes (G-) have a thinner cell wall than friendly
gram-positive microbes, and are impacted and often impaired by fever and heat.
Marc knows of Lymies who have benefited by using saunas (steam, dry, FIR, etc.)
as part of their regimen, which also promoted immune response, wholesale
detoxing of endotoxins and other toxins, increased circulation, oxygenation,
etc.
A cold finish to the treatment, like traditional Scandinavian practice, can
increase immune cell activity, endorphins, glandular activity and so on.
In his own blood, using a powerful Bradford microscope, he observed the sudden
appearance of quantities of lymphocytes immediately following such a session.
He was told the heat/cold shock actually damages negative microbes but alerts
and causes rapid deployment of human immune cells.
