Hi Linda,

I have Lyme and mercury and would be interested to know where your naturopath got the info on Lyme, mercury, and DMPS.

Also, Samento may work for some people, but it doesn't work for everyone. The thing about Lyme disease is there are three factors that contribute to the fact that the disease is shows different symptoms for each person, and unfortunately that means that what works for one person in treatment will not work for another, and viceversa.

The three factors are 1. everyone's genetics are different, 2. along with their own immune system. Combine those two factors with 3. the fact that there are at least 100 different strains of borrelia in north america (300 worldwide), plus a long list of co-infection that a tick bite can make you ill from other disease (babesia, etc.), and the result is that you have a mess.

The bottom line is that what applies to one Lyme patient does not apply to another. I have seen ABX work wonders for some (though curing chronic Lyme patients is doubtful), while Samento went flat and did little to nothing. I have rarely seen the opposite, but it has happened where Samento has worked better than ABX.

It would be nice if there was a single magic bullet for Lyme, but the nature of the disease means that there isn't one. Sorry.

BTW, did Samento work for you?

thanks....
