Along with tens of thousands, perhaps millions, of others - I have suffered Chronic Lyme which has been impossible to cure. For decades I've been unable to live anything close to a normal life. Though medications have helped me with basic functioning, none last - and I cannot manage to stay off medicine without bad results.
Much to my relief, I discovered over the past year or two that doctors were using Disulferam to cure Lyme, and it was working! Disulferam is the generic name for Antabuse, a drug which has been used to help alcholics stop drinking. The drug causes an adverse reaction if the person taking it also drinks alcohol.
To quote one website:
Sounds fun!
Naturally this forces alcoholics to avoid drinking, even a little. The drug stays in one's system for 14 days, so consuming any alcohol in that time is unappealing. On top of that, there is alcohol in shampoo, conditioner, soap, dish soap, laundry detergent and household products. All of this must be avoided!
Recently, Lyme doctors discovered that Disulferam works not only for Lyme, but for tick born illnesses, such as Babesia, Bartinella and more. Patients who took Disulferam for a few months never had any more symptoms even after suffering for years!
There is a series of videos about it, starting here, with part 1 of 5. The rest are linked in the video's description.
I've been backed into a corner with my Lyme treatment, and at this point, Disulferam is my only hope. There's still a chance I could be allergic - which could mean severe reactions - and the medicine would be in my system for 14 days! So it's pretty scary, but I need to give it a shot. On top of that I'd like to avoid the unpleasant reactions listed above.
I absolutely hate logging my day to day choices, foods, products - or even having to think about them at all. Boring. However, there are people all over the world suffering from Lyme, and some can't afford doctors, or worse, live in countries where there are no doctors who acknowledge Chronic Lyme at all. Nonetheless they still may have access to this product which might curesthem. So I'm going to keep this log- for them, if they need it, and for myself. It may come in handy as I plod my way along this very annoying protocol.

To quote one website:
Disulfiram plus alcohol, even small amounts, produce flushing, throbbing in head and neck, throbbing headache, respiratory difficulty, nausea, copious vomiting, sweating, thirst, chest pain, palpitation, dyspnea, hyperventilation, tachycardia, hypotension, syncope, marked uneasiness, weakness, vertigo, blurred vision, and confusion. In severe reactions there may be respiratory depression, cardiovascular collapse, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, acute congestive heart failure, unconsciousness, convulsions, and death.

Also potatoes are my favorite carb and I eat them more than anything else.
The other, the laundry detergent, I'm just not sure if it's ok. The ingredients look fine and there's nothing wrong with it but it's also not recommended per se. Some of the "pure castile soaps" supposedly can be used to wash laundry, so I'm thinking maybe I should forgo laundry detergent (now and maybe forever!) if that works. I'll find out this weekend then decide to return or not.
I'm excited and really hoping I won't be allergic.
A few more appointments remain.
