Hi Nicole, This is my second attempt at an answer...the first one just seemed to disappear into the wilds of cyberspace...maybe it was too long? Oh I had a stop spam thing in my address, will remove it this time.
I have been on CS now for about 4 weeks, strength of home brew as yet unknown...still playing with it. I have had Lyme for 6+ years, was undiagnosed for the first 4+ yrs, and took antibiotics for about 18 months until the yeast problem became bad...then I started CS. Symptoms: can vary depending upon where the spirochetes hide out in your body...frequently in nerves and tendons..and how your own immune system responds. Ear problems and other cranial sites are common....which is not to say that your ear problems are due to Lyme, just very likely. Herxing: varies with the individual also. My symptoms are an increase of pains in all their variety and a fluish feeling with burning eye sensations. Generally speaking the longer one has had Lyme the longer the treatment period. As far as I know there are no good scientific studies on Lyme and CS. I do not have any good info to guide me as to "safe" dosages, but there are many annecdotal stories from others and I bet if we stay within these parameters we are safe and hopefully effective. Your dose of 6 oz of 20 ppms/day sounds reasonable from what I have read...some take more...some less. Email me privately to compare notes if you wish.
