Personal Journey Using Teasel For Chronic Lyme Disease
Since we live in Texas, the state with no Lyme disease…HA!, the only course of treatment had been doxycycline, which we figured out was causing severe cerebral hypertension, and it was no longer an option for Katelynn.
I tried every homeopathic and herbal treatment I found that was helping other Lymies, and nothing would help my poor baby for any length of time. She also has symptoms of bartonella, but her tests did not indicate it…oh surprise, surprise.
I read about a lady who had been cured 9 times from Lyme disease by using Teasel, and I listened to her testimony on You Tube and visited her website: http://www.ladybarbara.net . We corresponded, and what I found most interesting was the fact that the Teasel used most often was the Chinese species, dipsacus japonica, and THE SPECIES THAT SHE USED AND THAT REALLY DID THE HEALING WAS DIPSACUS SYLVESTRIS, the common weed found in the USA. She sells it, and has links to other herbal sites that sell it as well.
Well, I started Katelynn on one drop under her tongue two or three times a day, and increased it to two drops twice a day, and then three drops twice a day. She had a minor herx about 2 days after starting the single drops, and it was as if all her nerve endings came to the surface of her skin and felt like a mild stinging. It lasted about 12 hours, and then faded away.
She got better and better physically, and for the first time in months, she actually attended school for a full week!! (She has missed 39 days since late August when she started her senior year.)
She is still suffering from insomnia and has some tremors all over her body when she misses too many dosages of the teasel, but that is so minor compared to what she has been going through since her second tick bite in March of 2008. TEASEL ROOT, IN THE FORM OF AN EXTRACT FROM DIPSACUS SYLVESTRIS, HAS BEEN THE MIRACLE CURE FOR KATELYNN. I have been quiet about the speedy turn around in her health because I wanted to be sure the “healing” lasted…and it has. She started Teasel on December 15th, so it really hasn’t been that long, but I couldn’t keep quiet any longer… ;~) LOL!
I hope you will try this little miracle remedy, Jenna. You will not be sorry; I’m sure! God bless you for such a wonderful blog and for sharing all of your research with us.
With biggest blessings,
Molly Gentry
p.s. Matthew Wood researched and used dipsacus sylvestris in all his teasel studies. We had used a combination extract for Lyme that had Venus Flytrap, Teasel Japonica, and Parsley right after I read about teasel, but it didn’t help half as much as the sylvestris extract. I don’t know why that is…it just is…
The best way to start the new year is to renew you belief in your own healing.
Most of us are so focused on our own unique Lyme; the swollen joints, the mental confusion (Lyme Fog) and every kind of pain that can be imagined. But try, if you can, to watch your child go from a happy youth who fits in where ever he or she goes, to a virtual stranger – depressed, crying all the time…I have been there and would definitely take the pain away from my child than to watch he or she suffer.
So for the beginning of 2010, I received permission to share this happy story about Lyme, Teasel and a happy ending,

My daughter has been suffering from Lyme since late 2007. Finally diagnosed in late summer 2009. She was doing better in a lot of ways before she started her Lyme treatments. Since September its been a struggle. I’m having to pull her out of school again. I have been considering stopping all the anti-biotics and going the natural route. I’ve read a lot about the teasle. I think she has a toxic overload right now and am going to try a detox with cilantro/chlorella, and some L-Ornithine for the ammonia from the parasite die off. The new accupunturist seems to be helping also. I’m always looking for that magic protocol that is going to help her.

Hi Shirley -
I highly recommend Smilax for detoxing the neurotoxins released by the dying spirochetes – it is not very expensive. And remember, the flare-ups your daughter experiences is a hopeful sign.
I am also searching for the magic cure, but what I have experienced and watched time and time again, is people lose patience and jump to a different protocol rather than staying on course and allowing the protocol time to work. That is the key – patience. Remember, you can try alternative protocols while staying on the abx – most LLDs report more success with long term antibiotics than any other protocol, but it needs diet and proper exercise too.
Blessings to you and your daughter,
Jenna

Hi All,
My 18 year old daughter has chronic lyme. We have had tremendous luck with a natural clinic in Pocatello, Idaho. She goes down there for treatments; IV infusion therapy and follows a protocol prescribed by the doctor. He treats people from all over the country. After her first visit last June, it was simply a miracle! She came home and went on a 45 mile bike ride with friends. This was something I did not dare to dream possible, after all of the lethargy, pain, insomnia, brain fog……………………
Let me know if you want further information about this.
Blessings to you all, and thank you Jenna for this website, it has been invaluable to us.

Hi Valerie -
We will all look forward to her whole story.
Blessings,
Jenna

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner.

sad to read your story i live in dread thinking of how children with lyme must suffer,a sufferer myself i almost took my own life when i was sobad i had to keep packing my jionts in ice as this was my ONLY pain relief,i am now trying to find some teasel to tryout and have been using the OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT for six months(this is also another of the best so called cures for lyme)and
its my only controlling medication i take(antibiotics almost killed me!)if you need to try another herbal med try this its very good
but you cannot use it indefinately,expect a very powerfull herx within the first 36hours of treatment with it!

I have had problems with Lyme at least since I was 13…I was finally diagnosed at age 18. I am about to be 21. I have had many treatments that helped tramediously; unforunately, they all helped for, at the longest, 3 months, then I was back in my old shape. I missed my whole last two years of high school and graduated on homebound program. I too live in a state where there is “no” lyme disease, Georgia. It’s horrible how no one believes me. I am unable to find a job…it’s almost like they sense it, but I have been reborn since age 6 and that helps alot. God is my only sanity. We’ve tried so much that hasn’t worked. I don’t know if I can convience my parents to buy something else, but quite frankly I’m tired of the stares when I limp, when my speach is slurred, when I can’t rememeber how to spell a word I’ve been spelling since first grade, and the stares from twitching. I’m going to talk to my parents again.
