Penicillin is not effective against Lyme's disease. The only antibiotics that kill Lymes disease are Tetracycline type drugs. I had lymes also, my husband had it and my dog nearly died of it. We went to this park once and came back covered in ticks and that is how we got it. I was suffering from swollen joints and extreme fatigue, but am now totally symptom free. They say it takes about three years it to get out of your system. I was on tetracycline for 60 days and that took care of it for me. Certain things like alcohol intensify the disease. I also became a vegetarian and that seemed to help a lot. Sincerely, Kendra

By then it took $10,000 of iv antibiotics instead of a $2.50 bottle of pennicillin to knock it into remission. I got about 80% recovery but for the next 10 years still did not feel well, although most symptoms were gone. I stated taking CS daily and within about 6 to 8 months noticed I was back to my old self. I don't know if it was able to kill them where they were hiding, or it assisted in healing the damage done, but either way I was completely recovered within a year of starting the CS.
