<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">"If you are considering GcMAF as recently mentioned by Dr. Klinghardt on the LymeHope.com conference call, please ensure you have your Nagalase levels tested before and during treatment. Also be aware that some patients (around 5%) have a significant inflammatory response that may require other interventions to manage. Thus, while GcMAF may be promising and a good option for some of us, it requires a doctor that is familiar with it to help with the blood testing and support during the 4-6 months of injection therapy. Please discuss with your doctor before trying this on your own."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Learn more about GcMAF at this link.</span><br />

</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your home should be as mold free as possible. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Klinghardt said everyone should do ERMI testing to test your home for mold. You can buy the test from mycometrics.com for around $250 he said and he said everyone should read Surviving Mold a book by Dr. Richie Shoemaker to help with fixing home or work place mold issues. He mentioned a ERMI test score of 2 is not good and everyone he knows who used that test has had a score over 2 so far. If your score is over 2 it will limit your ability to get well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My two cents on mold. Yes everyone with Lyme disease has had past and or present mold issues they need to work on if they want to get well. I found grapefruit seed extract capsules helpful for mold toxins. </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can have mold issues in your home without water damage or signs of mold. Mold often hangs out inside the walls and mold spores occur in the air of all homes even brand new ones. You need to find out what type of mold you have in your home and the levels. I am tired of listening to Lyme patients who tell me they do not have mold in their home. If you want to stay in denial about mold you will stay sick. </span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now to get on to the rest of what doctor Klinghardt had to say on the call. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Detoxification he said is very important.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He said biotoxins from the disease are crucial to deal with. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He recommends using the chlorella he offers at http://www.biopureus.com/store.html He said it is the one he trusts and to use it for removing toxins from the body. Personally I have used other chlorella that is more reasonably priced that I like and find helpful. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is important to kill microbes that are in the system. They communicate with each other and create biofilms. Biofilms are colonies that contain mold & spirochetes & the DNA of worms among other things. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dr. Klinghardt said there is a recipe for a Lyme cocktail to make on his website. You make it in the blender each morning and it is anti-fungal & anti-virual as well as having other healing properties. He said to ramp up slowly on the “Lyme Cocktail” and to use it daily for a year. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Immune modulation is important to balance out the immune system. He has used various treatments in the past. Now there is a new injectable treatment he likes. It turns on the part of the immune system that has been blinded by microbes. The monthly cost is $400. It is called GcMAF </span></span><a href="http://www.gcmaf.eu/info/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.gcmaf.eu/info/</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> He recommends doing this treatment after ones deals with environmental mold issues not before. I would love to try these injections. All donations for this treatment will be gladly accepted. My current income of zero does cover this : )<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Restoring the damage is the last part of the treatment – he uses a new herbal compound an ayurvedic herb Mimosa pudica for this. It comes in capsules and it can be used against Lyme disease, worms and co-infections. It helps to restore the nervous system. I believe he sells it at at Biopure. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diet he said is very important He likes the diet by Susan Owen It is a low oxalic diet and helps with inflammation. He said you can google the diet and find it online. I noticed Greg from Two Frogs Healing Center also thinks this diet is important for Lyme patients. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Headstands he said are important to do for one hour a day. The patient can do a modified one with the use of a chair or a swing. Getting upside down gets rid of brain fog and helps to dilate veins. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bee venom ointment on the back of the neck helps opens the circulation to the brain and kills the bugs on the back of the neck as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Homeopathic witch hazel he uses on everyone. I did not catch what for. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Redroot tincture he said is important for help with the lymph system. I have taken it before. Red root is a Buhner herb and I found it helpful. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lyme patients have sinus and tonsils that are constantly inflated. He uses neuro therapy injections for these issues and he teaches other practitioners how to do them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use electro acupuncture and or muscle testing for deciding what supplements to take. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People who recovered from Lyme he said according to a survey done in the past used energy medicine devices or machines like Rife technology and or used antimicrobials. He prefers to use the mind/brain directly instead of Rife to work on past traumas and family issues. I did not quite understand how he goes about doing this. He said the US government is on a witch hunt lately hunting down the use of energy devices. Maybe that is one reason he recommends the mind? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Unreliable testing along with ignorant medical doctors were the main reasons it took me years to figure out what was causing my symptoms. My doctors were of little help in diagnosing my illness. I went to many different doctors while trying to find out what was wrong with me. I had to suggest to them that they order Lyme disease testing to begin with because they knew very little about the disease & they did not even suspect that I had it. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unfortunately the current CDC guidelines for the testing diagnosis & treatment of Lyme disease & co-infections are misleading. Many doctors go by the CDC guidelines making testing for Lyme disease like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Due to the misleading guidelines many Lyme patients including myself are sick & suffering for years before they receive a correct diagnosis. Many people are never diagnosed correctly and believe they have Fibro, MS, ALS, Lupus, Chronic Fatigue, EBV or fill in the blank. Often doctors do not know the correct facts about Lyme disease. It is an epidemic yet they tell their patients fables like "No reason to test if you have an attached tick bite because your chances of getting Lyme disease are one in a thousand". WRONG!!!! </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you suspect you have Lyme disease you need to be seen by a Lyme literate doctor often referred to as a LLMD. You need a doctor who sees Lyme patients all day long so he can guide you through the diagnosis process. If you suspect you have Lyme disease do yourself a favor if at all possible & find a LLMD in your area to begin the process. I wasted hundred of dollars on useless doctors & unreliable testing so please don't waste yours. You can contact ILADS.org for a list of doctors or go to the forum on lymenet.org to the Seeking a Doctor section. The majority of Infectious Disease Society (IDSA) doctors believe "Lyme disease is hard to catch & easy to treat". They also go by the misleading CDC guidelines because the IDSA created the misleading guidelines in the the first place so IDSA doctors would not be very helpful when seeking a correct diagnosis. </span></span><br />

I would tell them to order the Igenex Western Blot for Lyme disease & also to do the co-infection testing Igenex lab offers as well. Having a LLMD read the test results when they are returned is important. You might test negative for Lyme disease yet have enough suspicious bands that an doctor experienced with Lyme disease would know to retest you. If you have insurance that would cover your testing you could try using MDL a lab in New Jersey for testing. Co-infection testing can be unreliable as well as Lyme disease testing yet it is still important to test for co-infections. </span></span><br />

I felt like I was catching a cold. I then ate a handful of dried seaweed called sea palm and bounced right back. Seaweeds contain valuable minerals and eating seaweed can give you energy. If I eat seaweed too late in the day I actually can’t sleep. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Sea palm comes in long skinny spaghetti like strands and is quite tasty crunchy and easy to eat right out of the bag. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Here is a link to some other ways you can incorporate seaweed into your diet. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://rawfoodswitch.com/fruits-vegetables-nuts-and-seeds/eat-seaweed-10-ways-boost-energy-sea-veggies/">http://rawfoodswitch.com/fruits-vegetables-nuts-and-seeds/eat-seaweed-10-ways-boost-energy-sea-veggies/</a><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px;">Seaweed is also said to help the body deal with radiation exposure. That is certainly a plus after the recent nuclear reactor issues in Japan due to the earthquake.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px;">If you don't like eating seaweed you can also take kelp capsules instead. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">According to Herbalist and Wise Woman Susun S. Weed seaweed can do the following: “<span style="color: #153232;">Seaweeds</span> of all kinds help restore energy by nourishing nervous, immune, and hormonal systems. Make it a habit to eat seaweed as a green vegetable at least once a week. Try kelp in your oatmeal, wakame in your beans, kombu in your soups, hijiki salads, toasted dulse, sea palm fronds, and deep-fried nori!”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Here are some other healing properties of seaweeds. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Seaweed contains 26 times the calcium of milk, seaweed strengthens teeth (and bones!) and helps to fight tooth decay. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Seaweed has antiviral properties so is good to eat when fighting a cold or flu or dealing with respiratory issues. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Seaweed contains B and C vitamins, minerals and amino acids and has anti-inflammatory properties, so sea plants enhance resistance to allergies and other infection.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Sea vegetables contain powerful antioxidants that assist in fighting dangerous free radicals (cells that go wayward) for a super strong and protected immune system.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">The iodine and amino acids found in seaweed combine to significantly reduce breast and uterine fibroids; help prevent cysts from forming.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Eating seaweed can help lower blood cholesterol. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">The polysaccharides (a form of soluble fiber) found in sea greens, aid in digestion by soothing the digestive and intestinal tracts. So no need for laxatives!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">The minerals amino acids and fiber work contained in seaweed work in unison to detoxify heavy metals and pollutants that enter the body through food and the air we breath. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Minerals in seaweed act like electrolytes, which assist the kidneys in regaining optimum function. The fiber content contained in seaweed aids in kidney stone prevention.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Nori contains as much Vitamin C as oranges, and is packed with beta-carotene like carrots, rich in calcium for your bones, iodine and iron for thyroid. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Kelp is high in iodine, which needs to be present for proper glandular function and metabolism. Kelp also contains phosphorus and calcium, as well as magnesium and potassium. Kelp is a source of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E, plus amino acids. Kelp is the saltiest of sea veggies, so it makes a popular salt substitute. However kelp has been tested and found to be low in sodium.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">Wakame is rich in iron and calcium. </span> <br />

The milk solids are browned (caramelized) in the fat and then strained out and removed. This gives ghee a delicious rich nutty taste. Ghee is superior to butter because it does not contain the impurities butter contains which are the saturated fat & milk solids. Ghee is said to contain phenolic antioxidants, which bolster the immune system. Ghee has a higher smoke point than butter. That is a big advantage when cooking with ghee.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

One of my friends told me it is also messy to make so I always bought mine even if my favorite kind of ghee was rather expensive. A 32 ounce jar is $39.50.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

She is incredibly intuitive and very often psychic. She told me my cholesterol was high. I was a bit shocked and then I realized I was leaning on a giant jar of ghee I had bought when she told me that. We both laughed and she said it was the jar of ghee. I don’t think she knew what ghee is before because another time when I mentioned ghee she did not know what it was. She then said. “Do not eat anymore from that jar of ghee it is full of mold and fungi.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I am trying to follow a candida diet so eating anything that contained more mold or fungus was the opposite of what I wanted to achieve. Most people with Lyme disease have candida even if they have not taken antibiotics as part of their treatment. I took antibiotics for probably about two years. One of my idiot doctors had prescribed some Cholestyramine for me to help with mold exposure. I took the CSM for days before I noticed it contained fructose. Fructose feeds candida fungus and mold and it obviously was feeding my candida because my skin became itchy since had I started taking it. That was a huge mistake!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I wondered if I could. I love ghee and make dal which is East Indian spit mung bean soup often. The recipe I use requires ghee. I tried making dal with coconut oil and another time with olive oil and it just did not have the same wonderful flavor as it does when I include ghee. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">Some tips on making ghee written by an East Indian woman. They are discussing ghee made on a stove:</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><br />

When the moisture is fully evaporated from the butter, you are left with butter fat. The result is liquid gold, emitting a nutty aroma. This is strained, removing the toasty solids that settle on the bottom of the pan. These solids are flavorful and edible, especially with rice. The filtered fliud is Ghee. Just store it in a clean, dry stainless steel/glass/ceramic container with a fitting lid. The ghee solidifies in the cold and can be scooped. In the summer it stays fluid. Just remember to use clean, dry utensils while spooning ghee out.</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;"><br />
</span> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">Ghee will become solid at room temperature and is best stored in a glass jar. Do not pour your ghee out of the saucepan until it has cooled to a warm temperature that is safe to touch. When we make ghee, we usually make a large quantity by using 3-5 lbs of butter. The shelf-life of ghee is 6 months to many years. If your ghee would become moldy in the next few months, then the water and milk-fat were not fully removed and the ghee should be discarded.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Persistent Lyme disease is often not recognized by doctors or our society. I often hear the comment "But you look well". Rarely does anyone in my local community ask me how I am doing in regards to my disease. I am given no support of any kind including emotional support locally.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I experienced intense neurological symptoms, panic attacks, nonstop anxiety, and insomnia just to name a few of my symptoms. I often had agoraphobia and was afraid to leave my home. I had no idea what was causing me to feel like I was losing my mind. I often felt like I could not breathe. If I had known borrelia spirochetes were causing my symptoms it would have been a huge relief from the unknown. I had doctors blame me for having anxiety. Try living with the shame that comes from feeling you are going crazy. You feel like you are mentally ill when in reality you are not. You just have spirochetes wrecking havoc in your body and in your brain. You can't do anything about it because you don't know what is causing the horrific symptoms. If only I had been diagnosed years earlier it would have saved me years of suicidal thoughts, shame, humiliation, and mistreatment by family members especially my sister who relished in the fact that I was not doing well because it made her feel better about herself. She took delight in telling me I was crazy. The whole time my sister's boyfriend was probably also suffering with Lyme disease after his MD refused to test him when he went to his office while presenting with a bulls eye rash. He suffered from deep depression along with suicidal thoughts. After he and my heartless sister were married he died at age 53 of a brain tumor. According to Dr. Klinghardt Lyme disease can often mimic a brain tumor. </span></b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have you tested your home for mold yet? You can have mold spores that are making you ill or adding to your dis-ease state without seeing any signs of water damage or without ever having experienced any water damage. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The air we breathe indoors often contains harmful mold spores. Dr. Klinghardt says even new homes contain mold by the time they are finished being built because new homes are constructed like a cardboard box wrapped in plastic. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was told that mold collects in the walls in a building that contain the most geo stress. </span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Geographic stress can happen naturally. Some of the causes are underground running water, fault lines and certain mineral concentrations. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Geo stress is often said to also be caused by </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">electro-magnetic fields from computers, wiring and appliances.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My practitioner had me make mold samples on Home Depot mold testing plates which I sent to her along with 4 photos of the different walls of the outside of my home. She used the sample plates and photos to treat the mold in my apartment using remote Rife frequencies. I still need to buy some new testing plates to make sure the mold is gone and has not returned. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It sounds strange but we treated the geo stress in my home by putting aluminum foil down on the floor in various locations for several weeks before treating my apartment for mold. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mold can cause a lot of symptoms that can be very similar to Lyme disease. Here is a rather complete list. You can find other lists online. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://moldrecovery.blogspot.com/p/symptoms-of-biotoxin-illness.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://moldrecovery.blogspot.com/p/symptoms-of-biotoxin-illness.html</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You do not have to have all these symptoms to have mold issues.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dr. Klinghart recommends diffusing propolis. You can purchase a propolis diffuser at this link Bee Healthy Farms. </span></span><a href="http://www.beehealthyfarms.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://www.beehealthyfarms.com/</span></span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You might also want to pick up a diffuser for your car because 50% of cars are said to contain mold also.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My healthcare practitioner recommends using a Lightening Air Plus as an air purifier. Your MD or ND might prefer another one so ask. I like the Lightening Air Plus so when I leave home even for a couple of hours I can blast my home with ozone.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most homes are going to take more than a diffuser and a good air purifier to make them livable if your have a bad mold issue in your home.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can find a lot of information on mold by just googling the topic. I did try to read a copy of Mold Warriors by Richie Shoemaker but honestly became bored with it so I gave the book to a friend. The book seemed to repeat itself and of course the subject matter is rather dry.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have heard from more than one person that if you hire a mold inspector they may not really be that good at detecting mold.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are different ways of testing your body and home for mold. If you do have Lyme disease or any persistent disease I urge you to test for mold. I have told more than one person I thought they had mold issues and months later when their practitioner finally has them test for it they realize that they do have a mold issue.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have been exposed to mold in the past and or present there are different ways you can treat yourself for mold. Some of the ways are with the use of Grapefruit Seed Extract, Peach Tree Extract or Cholestyramine. Personally I find Cholestyramine a bit to harsh. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Tibetan MD warned me against using it. I wish I had listened to him. In Tibetan Medicine they believe in nurturing the bile not dumping it. My Tibetan MD warned me I would be cold for months after using CSM and he was correct. I don’t know if it really helped my mold issues or not. I do know that my MD wrote me an Rx for CSM which contained sucrose which was truly moronic. Had I checked and known it contained sucrose at the time I would have refused it. The sucrose it contained caused my candida count to shoot up and actually made me feel sicker in the long run and was counter productive. You can find CSM that does not contain sucrose. Currently I am taking GSE capsules to help with past mold exposure. At some point I will probably try taking Peach Tree Extract.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many people including myself go into denial over mold – it is a difficult subject to deal with and hard to wrap your mind around the fact your home, school or car could be making you ill.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I wanted to add my health practitioner tested me more than once in the past 6 months for Babesia and she said it had cleared. Maybe that meant it was just hiding out in remission? I need to clarify if she tested me with the use of my DNA or just through energy testing. I suspect it was with the use of my DNA. Babesia tested that it was gone twice and then recently after a bout with the H1N1 flu which helped increase my load of Wild Nile Virus I tested positive again for Babesia. I also had stopped taking Chanca Piedra because I had not been muscle testing to take it anymore. I now want to start taking it again.

What I really need to do in order to get well is to stop being an out of control healer and giver and give more to myself and stop giving all my energy away. The shoemakers daughter does not need to prance around in bare feet any longer!!! I think as a child I thought trying to please everyone was the way to be loved more by my family or more popular with my friends and don't even get me started about how I still give my power away when I meet new people at times. I do not need to be a people pleaser any longer. It is a old boring worn out habit. I wonder how many other people with persistent dis-ease are out of control givers and healers?<br /><br />1) Being an over giver does not work. In reality people you over give to can start to resent you and you can be taking their lessons away from them or worse yet they just use you and you turn into a shag carpet.<br /><br />2) Balance is key in life. I would much rather learn to love myself more and next time I am in a romantic relationship hopefully manifest a better balance of give and take. The last situation I was in was totally lacking in romance and balance in the give and take department and it did not take long to start resenting the imbalance and the sponge and myself for being with someone who had very little desire to give if any. I sadly don't think they had a clue how to give to another person nor the desire to do so which I took personally. The situation was not healing for me but it certainly was full of lessons.<br /><br />Self care and self love is so important for anyone with a persistent disease. The psychics I studied with use to refer to it as "Body being communication". What they were talking about was asking your body what it needs and not just once in awhile. Does it want more sleep for example or more fun, or more exercise, or perhaps something special or healthy to eat, or even more sex, or a trip out in nature or a good comedy to make you laugh? Amusement can be so healing at times.<br /><br />Opening up the doors to better communication with your body has got to be healing so it is one of my new goals. I like most of us have some habits I want to break that do not serve my health or body.<br /><br />I think I will give my body a badly needed break right now from the computer and follow up later with some suggestions one can do to give more to their body without having to leave home or spend a money.</span></span></div>troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-62482588432961513302010-06-02T20:02:00.000-07:002011-10-07T13:58:32.058-07:00Slaying the Babesia Beast with Chanca Piedra<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am dealing with a lingering case of pneumonia right now along with tularemia and environmental mold so I have been rather tired.<br />
<br />
I plan to hit the mold in my home soon with remote frequencies once I mail a mold sample I made on a mold plate from Home Depot to my practitioner.<br />
<br />
I am currently using homeopathic nosodes (vials) of Borrelia and tapping them into my skin/immune system the same way one would do EFT tapping. I checked with my awesome highly intuitive energy/muscle tester today and she said I still have Lyme disease. Luckily my Lyme load numbers are going down at the moment. I have had them jump back up again when I was recently dealing with a bad respiratory infection.<br />
<br />
Today by phone my practitioner said I cleared <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Babesia</span>. Here is a link to the California Lyme Disease Association’s information on Babesia if you would like more information on the disease.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.lymedisease.org/lyme101/coinfections/babesia.html">http://www.lymedisease.org/lyme101/coinfections/babesia.html </a><br />
<br />
My practitioner told me I had cleared babs another time recently so I thought I would have her recheck for me. One can’t be 100% certain with energy testing but she seems to think my babs has cleared. The first time she said it was gone I assumed it was due to the remote frequencies she sends me from her biofeedback machine which she utilizes like a Rife machine. Today she told me “No a herb you were taking made it go away and you have currently run out of the herb”.<br />
<br />
This is the same practitioner who has called me up once and said “Look in the bag of supplements on the floor there is something in there you need to take”.<br />
<br />
She lives on the opposite side of the country so there is no way she knew I had a bag of supplements on the floor so when this person tells me something I pay attention to what she says. She told one of my friends that she is not psychic just scientific. I think she is extremely tuned in and very psychic and also not someone to toot her own horn which is very refreshing to find in a health practitioner. Nor is she at all judgmental which is also refreshing!<br />
<br />
Together we figured out that the herb I had been taking that made my babesia leave town was Chanca Piedra also sometimes referred to as Peruvian Breakstone. As most of you know Babesia is referred to as a co-infection. It often comes as a package deal with Lyme disease. Sort of a two for one gift or three for one or so on.<br />
<br />
After you receive a tick bite or horse fly bite, or mosquito bite or fill in the blank bite.. when you come down with Lyme disease babesia very often comes along for the ride along with some other equally lovely cos. Some people believe some of the co-infections can actually be more detrimental than Lyme disease. Bartonella has wrecked havoc in my life so I would agree with that statement.<br />
<br />
Someone today referred to babesia as a beast. Any disease that hangs on after thousands of dollars worth of malaria meds and makes you have miserable night sweats among other ghastly disgusting symptoms is a beast in my book.<br />
<br />
One of my acupuncturists had started me on Chanca Piedra for general and liver support months ago. I had stopped taking it and then my current health practitioner told me to start taking it again one day when we were muscle testing my different supplements over the phone. I don’t think she is even that familiar with the herb but she said I tested positive to take it. Who knew it would also work on the Babesia Beast?<br />
<br />
I had read in the past that some people take Chanca Piedra for Malaria and Babesia is suppose to be helped by Malaria meds or so we are often told. Chanca Piedra helps support the liver, kidneys and gallbladder and is often used for people dealing with Hep C.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am taking Raintree's Chanca Piedra. I take the capsules but they also make a tincture as well. You can find it in capsule and tincture form. It is famous for helping with kidney and gallbladder stones.<br />
<br />
I was taking 2 capsules twice a day and now have been told to take one cap three times a day.<br />
<br />
Chanca Piedra has many different exciting healing properties. Here is an article about it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.wholeworldbotanicals.com/herbal_breakstone">http://www.wholeworldbotanicals.com/herbal_breakstone </a><br />
<br />
According to the article “These species of Phyllanthus have been proven in scientific research to have antihepatotoxic, antispasmodic, antiviral, bactericidal, febrifugal, and hypoglycemic activity.”<br />
<br />
The article also states:<br />
<br />
“The most recent research on Break-Stone reveals that its antiviral activity extends to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A Japanese research group discovered Phyllanthus niruri 's HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition properties in 1992 with a simple water extract of the plant. Bristol-Myers Squibb's Pharmaceutical Research Institute isolated at least one of the constituents in the plant responsible for this activity--a novel compound which they named "niruside" and described in a 1996 study.”<br />
<br />
Previously I did many months of Mepron and Malarone which are two costly malaria meds many Lyme literate MDs often prescribe for Babesia yet they did not help me leave babsville completely.<br />
<br />
When I was leaving Germany after my infrared light treatment the doctor there energy tested me for Babesia and said I was still testing positive for it. It also showed up in DNA testing since then.<br />
<br />
Not only is Chanca Piedra not hard on your liver like some other malaria drugs often prescribed for babs the herb actually supports and nurtures your liver. It is a fraction of the cost of both Mepron and Malarone and Alinia.<br />
<br />
Dr. Harris mentions Chanca Piedra in Connie Strasheim’s book Insights into Lyme Disease.<br />
<br />
I am hoping some other patients with Babesia will try using Chanca Piedra and will report back with their results.</span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I recently found this link about Chanca Piedra. It mentions it might be a promising herb to take for Lyme disease. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">"Researchers have suggested that another promising area for future study would be the use of Chanca Piedra in treatment of Lyme’s Disease. Since syphilis is caused by a spirochete and Chanca Piedra has traditionally been used for this illness, it would be a good study for the epidemic of Lyme’s Disease, which we are experiencing the northeastern United States, since Lyme’s is also caused by a spirochete. Some herbalists have used Chanca Piedra traditionally for gonorrhea and syphilis."</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000066;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">An update about my Babesia ~ Nov. 21, 2010. I wanted to add my health practitioner tested me more than once in the past 6 months for Babesia and she said it had cleared. Maybe that meant it was just hiding out in remission? I need to clarify if she tested me with the use of my DNA or just through energy testing. I suspect it was with the use of my DNA. Babesia tested that it was gone twice and then recently after a bout with the H1N1 flu which helped increase my load of Wild Nile Virus I tested positive again for Babesia. I also had stopped taking Chanca Piedra because I had not been muscle testing to take it anymore. I now want to start taking it again. I have switched to taking Raintree's Chanca Piedra capsules. I like Raintree's quality. </span></i></span><br />

The layers are the hard part. Right now I have what seems like a sinus infection, a sore throat, a fever, am spewing colorful mucus and I am coughing like a seal with a nice barking hack that wakes me up when I try and sleep and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. How is that for a run on sentence? </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lyme disease and co-infections alone and chronic fatigue syndrome are bad enough but when you get hit with a bug you go down fast and don't get up easily... When you live alone you wonder who is going to save you when you run out of paper products and are too sick to cook. Luckily my kind friend who I met in our now defunct local small town Lyme disease support group is going to bring me some paper products tomorrow. Thank God or I really don't know what I would do. Paper towels really don't work for TP or Kleenex. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I really feel like death warmed over and for the last three days have been forced to spend 98% of my time in bed. I know I am living in a rental with a high mold count and am in the process of taking care of the mold not that my landlords are any help they have only been part of the problem by not taking care of links in a timely manner and excuse me if I am playing the victim care for a moment but I am really not feeling well and it is not that easy moving when you don't have an income due to ill health. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Today when I really thought things could not get any worse and was having thoughts about dying from this current virus my landlord started weed whacking - not exactly healing. When he got done with that he then rode around the property on some noisy mower that resembles a tractor making even more noise. We have a giant lawn here so it went on forever or for what seemed like it. Good thing I hate guns and don't keep one. I might have had a hard time deciding if I should shoot the tires out on the mower or myself. When I get super sick I always feel like I will never get well again and like the world is coming to an end.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This disease sucks and people who don't have don't understand. I know people mean well when they say you look good but it is not really that helpful. If you don't have Lyme disease you have no idea what people with Lyme disease go through on a daily basis and how each time we catch a nasty bug that might have you down for two days we go down for eight and wonder if this might be the bug that kills us. We don't have normal immune systems. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">What started to really scare me was the fact the practitioner who I am working with did not seem to be answering my desperate pleas for help. Thankfully she got back to me today. Not hearing from her was really adding to my stress level. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thanks for listening to my whine and rant and I am now heading back to bed. </span></div>troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-3208570286116498192010-04-19T12:30:00.000-07:002012-01-18T18:39:32.837-08:00Lyme Disease Coinfections Anxiety & Panic Attacks - Oh My!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before I found a bulls eye rash on my leg many moons ago I never had any major anxiety to speak of. Thanks to ticks and bioweapons that has all changed. Anyone who has Lyme disease co-infections and major neuro symptoms with anxiety and panic attacks knows unfortunately just the kind of horrendous anxiety I am talking about. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was asked by other people dealing with Lyme disease what supplements have helped me deal with anxiety. To be honest with you at times in the past nothing I tried helped me. Perhaps because my body was so depleted at the time or my neuro symptoms so severe that there was no quick fix or if there was I did not know at the time what would help. I might have been too acidic at the time and did not know it. I was still undiagnosed with Lyme and cos when my anxiety first developed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

You can take it during the day and it won’t knock you out or make you feel sleepy yet two caps at night will help me sleep better often and if I have a cold sometimes I will wake up without the cold symptoms after taking 2 caps.

This book at times has been my life saver. I have had the same dog eared book for years. I refer to it often and it is like my health bible. My copy is heavily highlighted with many notes scribbled in the back. Weeks ago a fellow Lyme sufferer asked to borrow my copy along with some other books like Healing Lyme. So far have he has refused to return them. You might say he is on a bit of an obnoxious control trip which can’t be good for anyone’s healing. Talk about bad karma it is like stealing a medicine bag from a medicine woman so hey there Mr. Potato Head just keep hanging on to my cell salt book and see what that does for you. As Dr. Phil would say “How is that working out for you?” Of course being a Malibu-ddhist does not make one enlightened over night and Mr. Potato Head grew up in the land of confusion and seems to enjoy parking his arse in that state. Annoying - yep a little!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

It can make your pH too acidic which in turn can cause anxiety. Adding six boxes of baking soda to a bath is said to be very helpful or taking a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water to alkalize or taking Alka-Seltzer Gold will do the same thing. Drinking lemon water is said to help with pH balance and a herx as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Basically I felt much better after treating with the Bionic 880 in Germany. I came home looking much better or at least that is what people were telling me and then I crashed ten days after arriving home. I did not purchase a Bionic 880 in Germany because I did not have an extra $8,000 to spare. I did like the treatment and protocol in Germany yet it seems that some of the other people who were staying in the guest house when I was in Dobel treating crashed when they arrived home as well. I do not think the Bionic 880 treatment in Germany is a cure for Lyme disease. It is more of a stepping stone to assist one in getting better than a "cure". I did find it helpful and even my Tibetan MD thinks the treatment did knock down my Lyme disease load somewhat. </p><p>I thought when I arrived home I could use my chiropractors Bionic 880 to treat with but that turned out to be not as easy as I thought it would be. His office is almost 2 hours away and I did try driving there for awhile to use his Bionic 880 once a month but the treatment did not seem to be as good for some reason as the one in Germany. Maybe because the MD in Germany has "live" nosodes and does detox IVs and ozone IVs afterwards? I never did get a chance when I returned to the USA to treat with my own blood or salvia in a nosode and still would like to do that sometime. When I have some extra money at some point I would like to return to Germany for more treatment if I am not feeling much better by then. Currently I am still dealing with fatigue and lack of stamina. Perhaps at some point I will purchase a PE1 which is said to be like a Bionic 880. The price of the PE1 is much more affordable than the Bionic 880.</p><p>I also did 4 ozone IVs this last Feb. along with some detox IV's containing magnesium, bicarbonate of soda and some homeopathics in an attempt to try and duplicate the detox IVs I had received in Germany. The way my ND did the ozone IVs here was different than the doctor did in Germany and I feel the German ozone IVs were more effective. </p><p>I do not know for certain why I crashed after returning from Germany. I suspect it could be due to mold in my rental or because I have not treated KPU/HPU yet or perhaps due to the fact that when you leave Germany the MD tells you you still have Lyme disease and co-infections in your body that he has managed to change the frequency of the Lyme disease so it won't bother you and perhaps some cos but if you become stressed the diseases will return. Maybe my disease loads were not knocked down enough and so their levels climbed back up? I felt good on the flight home but a long flight can be stressful and the oxygen levels on flights are not the best. Maybe I crashed on my return for all the the above reasons and perhaps some hidden ones. </p><p>Right now I am working with a practitioner who sends me remote frequencies from a biofeedback machine the same way one would from a Rife machine. She utilizes my DNA to do so. She believes the diseases returned because they were not knocked out all the way down to zero. She currently thinks my Babesia is gone. Lets hope so. It is hard for me to actually measure if it is really gone. Hearing it is gone does sound good. Two years of malaria meds did not seem to put a dent in it and it was still active even after my treatment in Germany according to the MD there. </p><p>I plan to work on the mold in my home next. My practitioner has had success lately helping other people rid their homes of mold with the use of frequencies after they gave her a mold sample to work with. I am in the process of getting a mold sample to her along with photos she needs of the outside of my apartment. When she did my DNA testing when I first started working with her my environmental mold levels came up as being even more of a issue for my body than even Lyme disease. </p><p>I believe as Dr. Klinghardt does that environmental mold is often a big issue for Lyme patients. I have also noticed humans for some reason can't face the fact they have mold issues in their home and often go into denial over mold issues. I have done that myself and find mold hard to deal with. I know I have mold in my rental and have dark and multi colored mold growing on a petri dish right now. Trying to find a mold free well maintained rental in Northern California where there has been no prior water damage is not always easy. Most homes have had some sort of water damage or leak at some point and most rentals in my area are not very new or kept up well. For now I think I will work with the rental I have. </p>troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-72591972815139255262009-07-10T11:28:00.000-07:002009-07-10T11:45:51.209-07:00Back Home & Feeling Better!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I did my 6th treatment which I will write more about later. I flew home (11 hours) after an hour Ice train ride to get to the Frankfurt airport. Taking the train to the airport was very easy. Karin Klein the kind and wonderful owner of the guest house in Dobel took me to the train station and made sure I boarded the right train. Both she and my treatment buddy saw me off and I left in tears. I have some very fond memories of Germany. I felt okay on the flight unlike my old sick self that would always start to feel ill from flying even on short flights. Always when I did fly I would be forced to spend the next day in bed. I am feeling good at the moment compared to how I was feeling before Germany. I forgot to take any Melatonin on the flight home and am having jet lag and going to sleep at strange hours and waking up at 3:00 a.m. to start my day. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It feels good to be feeling better and to be home in my own space. I still have more work to do and co-infections to continue to deal with and more detoxing to do. I am happy that my kidney feels more normal at the moment rather than its sometimes burnt out sluggish uncomfortable tight state of feeling before treatment and my digestion improved with Bionic 880 treatment and my fatigue issues have improved some as well. I would not say I am cured but I am feeling better than I was before treatment and I am very grateful and thrilled about my improvements. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I went to a yoga class today at 7:30. a.m. It was too advanced for me so I did not do all of it yet I was happy I could do more of it then right before I left for Germany. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div>troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-48495254369551072352009-07-05T16:01:00.000-07:002009-07-06T16:32:09.890-07:00Tomorrow is My Sixth Treatment<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">On the day of the sixth or last treatment Dr. Woitzel tests the patient to see how well their </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">borellia load has been reduced with the help of the treatment. I believe he tests the patient with the use of his Bicom 2000. I will find out for sure tomorrow how he does the testing. I am curious to find out if I will be done with my treatment in Germany or if I will need to stay here a bit longer to treat before returning home. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I took a long walk tonight and noticed I had plenty of energy and felt like I could walk forever. Was it just a gorgeous night in the Black Forest or is the treatment giving me added energy or is my thyroid medicine starting to work or all of the above? It will be interesting to see how my energy level is in the next few days to month and to see if I feel this good every day. I don't want to jinx the fact that just maybe I am starting to feel some real improvements. </span></span></div>troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-74085460190987041852009-07-03T13:12:00.000-07:002009-07-03T13:16:15.639-07:00Soaking & Floating in Bad Wildbad<!--StartFragment--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Palais Thermal – Badepalast is an incredibly beautiful spa found in the heart of the town of Bad Wildbad.

We were removed from the sauna for the crime of wearing our bathing suits. We did not know we were breaking any rules because the front desk had only told us clothing was optional. An old man went and told a staff member about our crime of harboring swimsuits. The staff member came and told us we had to get out of the sauna because “Rules are rules”. It is still worth spending a relaxing afternoon there soaking in the various sized ornate pools. The saunas are also super relaxing and they use different aromatherapy oils in the different saunas. </span></span></span><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><a href="http://www.badwildbad.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=spas&rubrik=palaisthermal_en"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://www.badwildbad.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=spas&rubrik=palaisthermal_en</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" color: rgb(89, 89, 87); font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Vital Therme: Thermal Spa</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" color: rgb(89, 89, 87); font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" color: rgb(89, 89, 87); font-family:'Arial Black';"><a href="http://www.badwildbad.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=spas&rubrik=thermalspa"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://www.badwildbad.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=spas&rubrik=thermalspa</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" ;font-family:'Arial Black';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Vital Therme is my favorite place in Bad Wildbad to go to float and soak in the mineral pools because the views of the mountains are incredible and the atmosphere is much mellower than at the </span></span><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Palais Thermal – Badepalast and the outdoor pools at Vital Therme are a nice place to float relax or sun.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Bionic 880 treatment in Germany the patient is put in a curtained booth with a Bionic 880 infrared light machine (the same machine NASA is experimenting with). A glass pitcher of water is left next to the machine for drinking and a piece of paper with a semi stick figure of the points the patient is suppose to shine the infrared light on by holding the paddle of the machine on the skin at a specific location. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The machine is programmed as to the frequencies the MD wants the patient to use and the machine stops sending light after you hold the paddle to each different location. The ten locations to apply the infrared light to are drawn on a stick figure on a piece of paper. The programmed amount of time I have been using per location/point has been 320 seconds (about 5 minutes). For each new point you press the start button again. The amount of seconds you are to use is already programmed into the machine by a medical tech beforehand and the machine makes a sound when you complete a point. If you are treating at home you would program the amount of time into the machine to use the light head on each point before you begin a treatment along with the frequency you intended to use. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The doctor told me he likes patients to use energy testing when working at home or with another practitioner to figure out which frequency to program the machine with. You can use stronger or lower frequencies as needed. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An example of where we were told to hold the light head/paddle is to each ear like one would hold a telephone, to the very top of the head, and to the forehead. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was given ten different locations to hold the paddle with the infrared light against my skin. You start on the right side. For example first you hold the paddle (light head) against the inside of the right wrist and then the left wrist. The machine stops when you have held the paddle long enough in each position and then you are instructed to drink a glass of water before treating the next point. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I complete my Bionic 880 treatment I am always given a ozone blood infusion by a medical tech. Using an IV they take your blood out mix it with ozone and then shake the blood and ozone together and then the blood is delivered back into the patient by the same IV. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not all patients are given ozone infusions. The doctor decides on the first appointment which patient receives what treatment and what IV’s. He used his Biocom 2000 (a machine used for energy testing) to see what minerals etc. to add to my magnesium IVs. He also could tell by testing with his Bicom 2000 that I have had Lyme disease for over 20 years and that I also have the co-infections of Bartonella and Babesia and active Epstein Bar Virus but that my Lyme disease is worse than my co-infections and EBV The machine also told him from what I could understand that Lyme disease had taken 80% of my energy. No wonder fatigue and lack of stamina are currently some of my worst symptoms. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The IVs assist with the detoxing process after killing things off with the Bionic 880 so that the patient does not have too bad of a herx reaction. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My blood looks very dark when it is taken out for the ozone infusions and then lighter when mixed with the ozone before it is returned. As the days of treatment progress hopefully the patient’s blood becomes lighter and healthier in appearance. Mine is still dark but is said to be lighter than when I first arrived at the doctor’s office for treatment on June 18. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the ozone IV I am then given a magnesium zinc IV with some homeopathics mixed in along with some bicarbonate of soda. Someone posted on a Lyme forum that bicarbonate of soda is used to make the patient's body more alkaline then acid. I usually feel slightly better right after the magnesium IV but rather tired by the time I arrive home from the doctor’s office. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had my fourth treatment this Monday and receive my fifth treatment tomorrow on Thursday. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People keep asking me how I am feeling and if I am herxing or having die off. If I am herxing it is very minimal and perhaps limited to night sweats, I did just start having night sweats a few weeks before I left the USA when I drank some Q-tonic and it kicked out some babesia symptoms so it is difficult to say for sure that the Bionic 880 is causing my night sweats. My guess is that it is. Another person told me they had night sweats as well when doing the treatment here in Germany. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not feeling worse than before I left the USA. I know some patients do feel very sick for a bit during treatment but I have no complaints along those lines. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did feel very ill on the tiring long flight here from the stress and experience of traveling (flying seems to make me always feel much worse) so when I arrived I was having migraine pain and was feeling nauseous. I looked pale and was feeling much worse then my normal fatigued self. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I felt like I really needed some extra oxygen on the flight to Germany yet did not want to ask for some and cause a scene. The flight was already difficult enough with a young boy having seizures. Luckily there were two MD’s on the flight. The wife of one at one point told me if they did not find seizure meds that we would have had to make an emergency landing. Luckily more than one passenger did just happen to have seizure meds with them. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The flight attendants where snarly and anything but friendly and pretended they were out of bottled water in our section when they were not. Thanks United I will remember never to fly your “Friendly” skies ever again. I had wanted to fly Lufthansa. We also had young children sitting behind us who kicked the back of our seats all the way to Frankfurt even after the flight attendant asked them to stop. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am told I am looking much better then when I first arrived here but after that flight from hell anyone would be looking better. I do think I am perhaps feeling a bit better then before I left the USA. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I am feeling better at this point in time it is still difficult to measure how much because I am not home and doing the things that normally create fatigue and lack of stamina like driving for 35 or 50 minutes to go to the dentist or grocery shopping or driving even further to see my Lyme literate chiropractor. One person told me they did not feel any large improvements until after treatment #4. Also Dr. Woitzel just recently started me on thyroid meds. Please if you have Lyme disease and your LLMD has not tested your thyroid recently request a test. I had to ask for one this year in the USA and Dr. Woitzel retested me when I arrived. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They test your thyroid in Germany by taking your blood and then having you sniff some sort of spray and then they re-test your blood again 45 minutes later after taking some more. My test just like my last one in the USA came back reporting that my thyroid is low. Dr. W. was surprised my healthcare practitioner in the USA had not given me anything for my thyroid. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am hoping that I will see more noticeable improvements before I return home but so far I am glad I came. I also received one spinal adjustment from the MD here as well. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been enjoying the mineral pools in the nearby town of Bad Wildbad. It is a bus or bus and train ride from the guesthouse in Dobel and a very quaint town with incredibly gorgeous views from the mineral pool of the mountains. I like the fact that mineral pools help one detox by pulling out toxins while also adding back in good minerals. I have been using the sauna at the mineral pools as well to help with detox. I find afternoons in Bad Wildbad very healing and relaxing. We have been enjoying the </span></span><span style="color: #595957;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vital Therme baths in Bad Wildbad but there is another Thermal Spa there that is to reopen soon we would also like to try called Palais Thermal.

There are many trails within close range of the guesthouse. Tonight I walked down a paved road and watched 7 beautiful horses eating their dinner while the sun was sinking into the horizon like a glowing orange ball.

If I am herxing it is very minimal and perhaps limited to night sweats, I did just start having night sweats a few weeks before I left the USA when I drank some Q-tonic and it kicked out some babesia symptoms so it is difficult to say for sure that the Bionic 880 is causing my night sweats. My guess is that it is. Another person told me they had night sweats as well when doing the treatment here in Germany. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono"">“The <b>Herxheimer reaction</b></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""> (also known as <b>Jarisch-Herxheimer</b></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""> or <b>Herx</b></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono"">) occurs when large quantities of toxins are released into the body as bacteria (typically Spirochetal bacteria) die, due to antibiotic treatment or rapid <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detoxification"><span style="color:#1830AC;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">detoxification</span></a>.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono"">I am not feeling worse than before I left the USA.

One person told me they did not feel any large improvements until after treatment #4. Also Dr. Woitzel just recently started me on thyroid meds. Please if you have Lyme disease and your LLMD has not tested your thyroid recently request a test. I had to ask for one this year in the USA and Dr. Woitzel retested me when I arrived. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono"">They test your thyroid in Germany by taking your blood and then having you sniff some sort of spray and then they re-test your blood again 45 minutes later after taking some more.

It is a bus or bus and train ride from the guesthouse in Dobel and a very quaint town with incredibly gorgeous views from the mineral pool of the mountains. I like the fact that mineral pools help one detox by pulling out toxins while also adding back in good minerals. I have been using the sauna at the mineral pools as well to help with detox. I find afternoons in Bad Wildbad very healing and relaxing. We have been enjoying the <span style="color:#595957">Vital Therme baths in Bad Wildbad but there is another Thermal Spa there that is to reopen soon we would also like to try called Palais Thermal. Floating around in and detoxing in mineral pools always helps me sleep better. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono";color:#595957"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono";color:#595957">Germany is super beautiful and the Black Forrest lovely and full of wonderful hiking trails. There are many trails within close range of the guesthouse. Tonight I walked down a paved road and watched 7 beautiful horses eating their dinner while the sun was sinking into the horizon like a glowing orange ball. It was so beautiful outside I really did not want to come inside but had a short skirt on and was getting chilly. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Andale Mono""> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-62984878243866824642009-06-04T19:53:00.000-07:002009-06-05T10:22:22.620-07:00More Preparation for Bionic 880 Treatment in Germany<p><span>For anyone wondering how the Bionic 880 works this website will give you some idea.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/6f447f">http://tinyurl.com/6f447f</a><br /><br />The doctor I will be treating with in Germany uses the Bionic 880 (infrared light machine) along with homeopathic nosodes on the solar plexus which help to direct the infrared light to know which diseases to clear from the body.<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As part of the preparation for my trip I have been having all my mercury fillings removed from my teeth by a biological dentist that takes safety precautions when removing mercury. Not only is it preferable to have ones amalgams removed when dealing with any persistent illness two Lyme patients I know cautioned me to do so before starting the treatment. They went to Germany with their mercury fillings still in and their fillings actually heated up in their teeth and caused some discomfort.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Having my fillings removed and replaced with materials that are compatible with my teeth has been a costly and time consuming endeavor which I think will pay off hopefully with improved health.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I was tested for material compatibility with a German vega machine which is used to energetically test for what materials work for you. My friend was tested for compatibility materials recently with a blood test and unfortunately the new materials her dentist used had to be removed when they made her teeth hurt. Luckily my teeth are feeling okay. As soon as I have a temporary crown replaced my dentistry will be done for the moment. I might deal with cavitations later.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Here is a link to some info from Dr. Klinghardt on chronic diseases and mercury.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><a href="http://www.mercuryexposure.org/index.php?article_id=39"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">http://www.mercuryexposure.org/index.php?article_id=39</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Some Lyme doctors (LLMD = Lyme literate MD) think getting ones amalgams out is not necessary unless you test for high mercury levels. I tend to disagree with this way of thinking. The testing for high mercury levels is not 100% reliable and keeping ones amalgams in my mind is not helpful or healthy.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">There is plenty of information to be found about the relationship between high metal levels and bad health. I know one person with Lyme disease who had her amalgams removed and actually went into remission for a while. Keeping ones mercury fillings while ill is like living in a home with mold when ill and not trying to do anything about the mold. Many people I know are having to deal with mold in their homes and many more people are becoming aware of the problem and doing mold testing with mold plates one can purchase cheaply at Home Depot. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I still have not decided if I will be buying a Bionic 880 to bring home and treat with. The machines were $7,000. plus and the price has gone up to between $8,000. and $9,000. plus depending on the exchange rate. I don't honestly know if I can afford a machine. I might pay to use a friend's machine when I return or go to a see a healthcare practitioner who has one. Neither machine well be located very close to my home so I have a lot to think about. Some people believe using a PE1 instead for infrared light treatment might be workable and it might save me a lot of money as well. Treating Lyme disease has been the most costly journey I have ever been on. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment-->troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322222399188733999.post-72155110177317888212009-05-11T16:46:00.000-07:002009-05-11T17:25:56.658-07:00Getting Ready for Bionic 880 Treatment in Germany This JuneI am going to Germany this June for infrared light treatment with an very experienced doctor there who uses a Bionic 880 along with homeopathic nosodes to help treat people with Lyme disease co-infections and viruses which are all part of the ball of wax that is created when one comes down with Lyme disease. I have had more than one tick bite starting as early as age six or eight years old and I have also had some bad cases of mono as well where I was so weak and ill I was almost hospitalized. I had another bite in the early 90's. I did not see the tick that time yet did find a bulls eye rash. I did not know enough about Lyme disease at that time to know for sure what was going on and my doctors were of little help. My severe anxiety and panic attacks started the same week I found a bulls eye rash in the 90's. I was an avid hiker and went hiking all the time gardened and went camping too. <div><br /></div><div>I also currently have active EBV/CFS. Fatigue and lack of stamina are currently some of my worst symptoms. I have had all kinds of symptoms over the years including extreme anxiety and panic attacks. It took me many years to get diagnosed and I was given many meds before I was diagnosed like Prozac and steroids that might have caused more harm than good. I am glad I finally was diagnosed because not knowing what is wrong is crazy making in its self. I have had many symptoms including total lack of appetite, insomnia, migraines the feeling I was losing my mind and going crazy because I was still undiagnosed and had no idea what was giving me sudden severe unbearable anxiety that would not go away. I have had agoraphobia and noises and smells would become unbearable at times. Even the sound of glass crashing when the recycling bins were being emptied would make me want to hide. I often had trouble breathing in enough air and still do not know if that was due to the panic attacks and anxiety or if it was air hunger caused by the co-infection called babesia. I have had too many unpleasant symptoms to list here. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was finally diagnosed in 2006. I do have diagnosed Lyme disease, babesia, EBV, CFS and probable bartonella and perhaps some other viruses that a weakened and over taxed immune system has brought out. I have had plenty of mold exposure in my past as well which only intensifies my illness and symptoms. <div><br /></div><div>I am looking forward to going to Germany and working with the doctor there. I am very excited and can't wait to actually meet the doctor and his staff and to begin the process and the road to better health. I do not know how well I will feel when I return. I am looking forward to some improvement. I am hoping to get some of my energy back and more and to put a dent in some of my diseases co-infections and current viruses. </div><div><br /></div><div>Currently I am taking Tibetan herbs that my Tibetan doctor gave me after checking my pulses. I am hoping to get my congested liver in better shape for Germany. I am also taking red root tincture and boneset tincture. I plan to be off all herbs two weeks before I leave for Dobel where I will be staying. I have been off all antibiotics and malaria meds for well over a year. </div></div>troutfarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04320146452935421668noreply@blogger.com2
