I am beating Lyme Disease

lymeand CFS,

Sorry I didn't explain this better. It's not on my blog, it's on the Lyme disease Forum page at the top.

There is alot of speculations and what nots but no one has tried ACT!, so i say you must try something before judging it, I am a personal fitness trainer and I believe in mind power triggerring our immune system, when someone is depressed your immune system is down, when your happy your immune system is up, thats the truth, so lyme disease is all about the immune system and detoxing, so there might be something there, also the girl that started this to me seems like a regular person we been chatting on facebook , there is nothing wrong with the picture that im seeing,thats my thoughts

so that being said I have looked into it futher read and heard all the sworn testimonials and it rings some truth to me, i spoke to the lady at ACT and she was also a Lyme sufferer that is now working at ACT and swears by it, so really I have nothing to lose because if in the first four classes i dont see any improvements I get all my money back thats there policy, and its also not expensive ,abx's have done 0 for me thus far, Im gonna try it, lol ill be the guinea pig , im signed up for classes starting Feb 22 , I will report

Btw, does she get any money recruiting you? As this was considered advertising for vested interest, I am thinking about deleting this entire post. I should have done that from the beginning.

I don't believe Advanced Cell Training will get rid of lyme bacteria, no way!  But I do believe in positive thinking as I think many who are sick tend to get negative and in a rut. 

I posted this link before about Bruce Lipton who is renowned cell biologist and has written books and if I felt I needed help as far as positive thinking, I would spend money on books to inspire me.   Below is a "free" link to this video which consists of 2 parts (both are very long) but well worth watching!  Part 2 goes into how positive thinking affects one's cells.    I said this before as I am a strong believer in positive thinking and how those thoughts can change one's cells as I went from being blind in my left eye to seeing (not 100% but I'm still working on it) all because I use positive affirmations every day (when I first started I didn't believe it would help but figured I had nothing to lose and here I am seeing out of both my eyes).  Thus, positive thinking can only help...

Not sure if this thread is a scam or not, but always leery of someone trying to sell something, but having said that, pharmaceuticals are always convincing people they NEED this or that drug in order to survive and to me, it's just a scam on a larger level.

Sure meds save lives, but so do other therapies such as cell training.

People are so closed minded and brainwashed by allopathic medicine they cannot open their minds/ heart to other forms of healing

I'm reading a book called "Biology of the Brain" and I can assure you, if anyone here read this book, you would understand the dynamics of healing the body with mind power alone. The placebo effect is WAY more powerful than most drugs.

I healed myself from lyme with abx, herbs, exercise and mostly, changing my "stinking thinking" and negative attitude towards my body.

Like I said, this poster's site may be a scam, but never rule out alternatives to treating illness.

I know one women who went into remission from years of debilitating lupus when she finally left her cheating husband.

Yes, sometimes, illness is "all in the mind". We created our visions from out thoughts. That's not to say lyme, cancer or other illness is not real, but the body breaks down when we don't give it a hostile environment.

The one constant theme I find on healh boards (I moderate other health boards) is that most people with illness have some other underlying issues such as anxiety, depression and many women are in horrible marriages, don't work or never worked.
Depress the mind, depressed the body!

Some folks just want the quick fix to illness and look for the magic pill, there are none.

Healing is a process of change and balance.

I guess what I was trying to say is that the mind is a very powerful tool and that we have choices on how we can direct our thoughts as we are in control of our mind.   I always enjoyed reading one of the quotes from Charles Swindoll regarding that "we are in charge of our attitude"...  (I think that's part of his quote!)

Do I think that positive thinking can get rid of lyme bacteria all by itself?  No.   The body needs help whether it's conventional medicine or unconventional.   Whatever works for someone.   I am a strong believer that if one is not feeling better after 6 months or so then it's time to change protocols and try something else. 

I also believe that positive thinking can and will overcome many barriers.   If one is suffering from emotional distress of any kind (like peacesoul was saying), it will slow down the process of getting better.

first you fix the body...then you fix the mind....
Positive thinking ...negative thinking..it is all THINKING...which still creates turbulance in the mind.
When you have a bad belly ache and are sick and your liver is toxic and your head feels like a toxic bowling ball attached
to your crackling aching neck it is pretty hard to maintain any kind of sanity.

when you have a chronic condition like lyme the mere fact that you haven't killed your self is being positive.

a virus in your brain and running down your spine is hard enough to deal with. I can't be beating myself up because I'm not getting well because I flunked positive thinking. There really is a point where you have to be sure you are not blaming yourself for being sick because you couldn't be the master of your own mind.

For over 25 yrs I have been surrounding myself with this type of positive thinking, mind mastering stuff and people who practice gratitude and we watch every word that comes out of our mouths in fear of creating the wrong reality.

When you have a virus running through your body you have got to get rid of it . PERIOD.
Yes I am still grateful that I can turn on the lights because I can flip on the light switch but this is madness seems endless.

Even on this site you can see the difference........you hear someone like me and a few others here that are having bad days and they may not sound so "POSITIVE" and then we have someone like Deejavu who is in remission for 4 yrs and
is very POSITIVE . and has continued to support the group to help everyone get across the line into recovery.

It's all realitive. and we can see how this subject creates upset by the length of this thread because when you are really sick you resent being told stuff like this as if it is your own fault. not that any of us are going to die in our victimhood. It's not about being victims or negative. I am finally now for the first time acknowledging that I am really sick and all my mind tricks is not going to get me out of this.

bucci,

Great post! This is what I was trying to say from the beginning but I don't think anyone understood. When you have something affectiong your brain, it's hard to turn that around and be positive because the brain is not healthy to begin with. I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just being honest about what this disease does when it becomes neurological.

Denise,

That's what I was trying to get across. When I am feeling good, I am very positive and hopeful. I laugh and clown around. It's the REAL me. But, when I'm feeling bad.....it's so hard to explain.....it's very hard to think positive when the disease is affecting my brain and the pain is unbearable.

I still believe and understand what you were trying to say though and I think it does work.

Hi CG,


I do understand what you are saying.. I guess I totally forgot (I wanted to forget) the unbearable pain I went through.



Now I am still dealing with a different kind of pain, the loss of my baby brother and even though I try to remember all the positive things about him, it still hurts.. I want to e-mail him and then I have to remind myself that he is not there to answer.. Well, I better stop now or I'll start crying.. (taking a deep breath!)...



I think you are very funny! I envy people who have a great sense of humor.. Most everyone in my family was gifted with a quick wit but I lost out on that trait as I tend to be more serious.. Yet I am the researcher in my family where no one else has any interest in that..



Wow, have I gotten off topic or what? LOL!!

Denise,

So sorry for the loss of your baby brother. I cannot imagine the pain you must feel losing your brother, although, my wife lost her sister not too long ago and it was a very painful ordeal for her to go through. The pain never goes away, but in time it will lessen. Time is a great healer.

By the way, have I told you how grateful I am to you for helping me in my search for a treatment protocol? You were the one who had the most impact on my decision to go to the Hansa Center for treatment. Your emails and words of encouragement helped me tremendously.

I'm doing so much better now than I was prior to treatment. I'm not 100% by any means, but I'm doing so much better than I was before going to the HC. I plan to see Dr J for a follow-up appointment this coming Tuesday. I'm feeling much better but still struggling some with left side abdominal pain and arthritis pain as well (mostly in the mornings). I had a couple of days when I felt pretty bad and thought I had regressed back to where I was before treatment. But Dr. J said it was normal, we will have days like that on occasion. Thankfully, I've only had two days like that out of the six weeks since I've been back home.

Considering I've only been on treatment for 6 weeks, I'm very pleased with the progress I'm making. I know in time I'll be feeling even better than I am now. Everyday I thank God for opening the door for me to go to the HC. And I thank you for sharing with me about this wonderful place and the wonderful people who are on staff there. They really are the nicest and most caring people to work with. I'm looking forward to going back on Tuesday for some lymph drainage, infrared sauna, Lux therapy, massage on the biomat table, ionic foot cleanse (toxin removal) and treatment from Dr. J.

Rhonda and I are praying for you!

Freaking VAMPIRES! looking for an easy meal!

OK, if someone seriously said they were healed in 2 weeks, I honestly think its a scam, there is no way! I have been on ABX for 2 weeks and I wished I could feel 100% better! Ya'll are right, people are trying to take advantage and money from people like us who are in desperate need to be feel well again. Its hard enough to come up with the oney to see the right doctors!
