I agree this trial should be funded, and support anything that is going to make the difference of whether or not someone can function in the day or not - physically and cognitively. Thank you for the work you're doing!

CelWel really works. More practitioners and patients need to be informed about how this reduces the adverse symptoms of Lyme disease.

You have my vote!
Lyme needs rigorous research, whether it involves pharmaceutical compounds, botanicals, noninvasive technologies or other emerging approaches. This is especially critical for chronic lyme patients who remain ill after antibiotics, those who cannot tolerate standard antibiotic or anti-inflammatory treatments, and are left searching for options.
We also need providers equipped to recognize the above presentations, connect the dots and help patients access appropriate options. Recognition, access and treatment are the foundational pieces that must advance together. Otherwise, future patients will continue down the same painful path as those already suffering. I also purchased and am looking forward to trying!

I have not had Lyme disease at any point in time, but over a time period of 1.5 yrs I have had episodes of hives & swelling, doubling up on OTC allergy meds, which can have some side effects. Then I was introduced to CelWel, I took as directed for 2-3wks, and so far my hives and swelling have literally dissipated! At the present time I am taking CelWel prophylactically 2x a day, therefore I am able to discontinue my nightime allergy med, and I have seen a great improvement with my seasonal allergy symptoms as well. I am very pleased with this product, and will continue with this as my daily regimen.

CelWel is such a uniquely wonderful product. Why? Because it works for more than its original intention. When I feel a lack of energy, as if I may be coming down with a cold/flu, CelWel is my first choice & it has not failed to provide relief.

This funding is critically important for providing some hope and scientifically documented relief for so many suffering from the debilitating effects of Lyme disease with an apparent “Do no harm” product.

I would CelWel to be magic cure for variety of my ailments.
It helped with my joint aches and pains and it also addressed chronic headaches and dizziness caused by menopause that I've had for over 1 year prior to taking celwel. After 3 days of celwel they were gone. Now when I forget to take celwel and feel headache coming on, I take celwel promotly and notice it dissipate in minutes.
Having struggled with chronic low grade depressions for years, I've also noticed significant improvement in my mood since I've started taking celwel.
I've been taking it for 3 months now and planning to continue.

Having witnessed the devastation of Lyme disease and long term Lyme before the medical community recognized both to be real and learned how to begin to treat them, the importance of work in this field and funding are very clear.

After struggling with persistent Lyme disease symptoms—especially the inflammation that made daily movement difficult—I decided to try CelWel. I followed the directions carefully, and over time I noticed a real difference. The inflammation eased, my joints felt more manageable, and I finally experienced a level of relief I hadn’t felt in a long while. CelWel became an important part of my recovery journey, and I’m genuinely grateful for the improvement it helped me achieve.

During my use of CelWel I have noticed a decrease in my brain fog and headaches. I also have an increase in energy.
I believe vigorous testing should be conducted for this product. Thanks for your work with this product.

Joel, can you post the link to your paper? I'd like to read the results. I can't find it on PubMed.

I misspoke. The Lyme study was never published it was only presented to ILADS.
I like that you mention prioritizing a funded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of ultra-low-dose immune modulation.
Supporting the Clinical Trials Network for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases is so important because there are still too many unanswered questions and too many patients struggling to find answers. We need researchers and clinicians working together, sharing information, and conducting meaningful clinical trials so we can better understand why some people remain sick and what treatments can actually help.
The CTN gives us a real opportunity to move the research forward in a more coordinated way. Supporting it means supporting patients who have been waiting far too long for better answers, better treatments, and ultimately, hope for a healthier future. We have to keep pushing for the research and resources needed to get us there.

I found CelWel worked for me! After rounds of antibiotics I was left with side effects of Lyme Disease, making movement difficult, which interfered with my daily activities. After taking CelWel my movement greatly improved and my energy level increased. I fully support more scientific research into CelWel. Until you’ve had Lyme Disease you can’t understand how debilitating it is. More research to improve outcomes is clearly needed.

Yes please! We need any and all research & testing is needed!

Celwel is already gaining traction in the Lyme community, and for good reason: not much helps Lyme, so when things do, people take notice! This was recommended by my doctor to all of her clients and has had surprisingly positive results. This disease is so dark, debilitating, and hopeless, that any research done to resolve it is worth it 100 times over.
Brandy Hassmann

I would definitely love more research into better treatments for Lyme disease. I have been suffering deeply for too many years. I was so excited to try my first round of CelWel, I noticed pretty soon a decrease in my overall inflammation and body pain plus a slight increase in energy. I also noticed a change in my mood / depression that was exciting. CelWel is now my first choice go to in fighting this awful disease.

Thank you for this product! It has helped reduce symptoms for myself and my clients. Overall support has been wonderful. I have Babesia, viruses, active lung infection and an autoimmune disease, as do most of my patients. Easy to use and tastes great!

CelWel absolutely works! We need to be funding more research like this so that people like me and others here can continue to see improvement in their symptoms. The difference between not taking CelWel and taking it is a vast difference for me. My pain and inflammation are significantly reduced, as well as other symptoms I experience

Hi Joel,
I had the following symptoms: Extreme Fatigue, Sore Throat, Gut Pain.
I took CelWel and followed the protocol. My symptoms reduced significantly.
Whenever there is a flareup, I immediately start on CelWel, which is my go-to now when starting to feel unwell.

Joel, whether this ultimately proves to be the answer, part of an answer, or neither, I appreciate the basic premise here: investigate it properly. Chronic Lyme patients live in a world full of anecdotes because so many potentially useful questions never graduate to the kind of study that can actually settle them. Seventy-three patients reporting meaningful changes in cognition, pain and energy is not something I think should automatically be treated as proof—but it is certainly enough to make me ask why we wouldn't want a rigorous trial that tells us what is actually happening. Patients deserve answers either way.

Joel, thank you for sharing this perspective. Low-cost, non-patentable therapies may attract limited commercial investment, underscoring the need for publicly funded research. Patients deserve exploration of promising approaches beyond pharmaceuticals—with the same scientific rigor applied to all.

A homeopathic dose in a 7x potency would still have some particles left in the bottle. The potency must be at least a 6c to not have particles in the product. I'm glad you are acknowledging that you are including a homeopathic product. I think it's is deceptive to not tell people that it's is thimerosol.

Thanks for sharing all this data with us, Joel! Everything stacks up nicely in this pitch so I hope they listen and fund a trial. Does thimerosal cause a herx reaction like with herbs and such?
