daughter's results

Im heartbroken. I have cried all afternoon. since I was diagnosed with lyme in january, I thought I should get my family tested.  so I finally did it last week, and my daughter's pediatrician called today with the results. she's positive for IGG band 58, and IGM band 23. my daughter it's not sick at this moment, she is 7 years old., she's running around, playing and stuff. what is this result really mean? Im very confused, the pediatrician said she will call a ID doctor to discuss the results, I called my LLMD and she returned the phone call but I missed the call, and now I have to wait until monday   Im beyond sad, Im strong enough to handle my illness, but to think about my daughter going through what I been through is too sad, and stressful. my daughter has a ok health, not perfect, but ok, she has allergies, that causes bad sinus problems. my heart is aching, I cant think straight. Me and lyme is one thing, but my baby daughter, it's a completly different story, my two kids are my life, and they need to be ok. they have to be ok. Im asking God for mercy, and the strenght I need to face my lyme and whatever the drs say it needs to be done with my baby girl. please pray for us., we are good people, my daughter is a little angle with a good heart. I belive God is with us, and He will help us through it, but Im human and Im scared :(

Nan is 100% right!
I brought my son (7 yrs old) to my own LLMD this week because he was bitten by a tick a year and a half ago and I had forgotten all about it because it was before I got diagnosed and I wasn't as educated on the subject. At any rate, she gave him a physical and asked me his symptoms. She didn't think he had anything that wasn't normal childhood illness. She said even if he tested positive for it she wouldn't treat him with abx right now because his symptoms don't warrant it. If he did get exposed, his own immune system is taking care of it right now. She did give me the name of a supplement to give all my kids to boost their immune systems. It's called Epicor Jr. They can take it every day just like a multi.

This is the third LLMD I've been to. Every single one of them has said no one knows why one person gets sick with Lyme while another doesn't even though they are both infected. But as Nan mentioned, a healthy immune system is the difference!! Lighten her toxic load so her body doesn't have to work so hard keeping her body healthy, try to eat organic, all those same things we do to help us get well can keep her from getting sick!

Don't panic! She's doing well now and there is no reason to believe she won't continue to be well. Get her in to see your LLMD so she can decide if her symptoms warrant treatment. Either way, you'll have someone lined up in case she does get sick. Half the battle for most on here has been NOT KNOWING what is wrong with them, getting the run around from doctors and getting misdiagnosed! You won't have that problem. You are ahead in this game as far as your daughter is concerned. She'll be OK.

I will say a prayer for you all because you asked not because I think you should be worried!!

iwantmyhealthback,

I can certainly understand how much that you love your daughter, and that you are horrified at the thought of her suffering from this terrible disease! My wife and I went through that terrible scenario. Heather was bitten by a tick at 9 years old and was not cured until 14 years old. We literally thought that she was dying, and she probably was.

We live in a world where we are routinely exposed to all kinds of pathogens on a daily basis. it would be a real eye opener for you to realize that we have more microbes in our bodies than our own cells! That fact would seemingly be a dangerous situation for us, and would imply that we would soon be overwhelmed by illness. However this is not the case. If our body, mind, and spirit are functioning optimally, there is usually no real threat posed by the presence of these microbes.

Most people have been exposed to Borrelia, yet do not get sick. I wouldn't worry about it. The presence of a few of these bacteria does not define the illness. It could very well be that you are worrying yourself sick over nothing. I am not "blaming" you for thinking this way. Our medical system has trained us to believe in "germ theory." However if their theory was true, then we would have all gotten sick and died long ago, because this world is filled with germs. Most ticks carry a variety of microbes. I have personally been bitten by ticks many times, yet have never gotten sick. I have been able to fight off the infection so far, and I trust that your daughter may be able to do the same.

My advice is to do the right things to keep her healthy, and keep trusting God.

iwantmyhealthback,

I can see the tender mutual God-given love that exists in your family, You guys are living life on the highest plane. Your little daughter is truly precious in many ways!

I don't want to come across as if I live in an impregnable fortress in which I am impervious to the perils that afflict us all. God in His wisdom has allowed the perils of life to coexist with the blessings of life at this present time. These perils serve to weaken us, and we therefore have a built-in dependency on one another and God. This forum exists to partially fulfill that need to help each other. I also have my weaknesses and I certainly don't have all the answers, but I will tell you what I would do if I was in your situation.

I would not worry about the things that are outside of my control, but I would do the things that are within my control. I would be sure to develop the healthiest lifestyle that I can. Yes, the germs are definitely a factor. However there are other factors as well such as sleep, nutrition, environmental stressors and toxins, and emotional stressors. Teach your daughter how to live the most pristine lifestyle that will serve to protect her. Don't be a worrying slave to this, but just teach her to do what she can reasonably do.

If her body, soul, and spirit are optimal and in harmony, then it is possible that she can fight the bacteria on her own.However I am not going to assume that this is a given in your daughter's case. The fact that she has "allergies" provides insight into a possible problem. The allergies are a symptom of a dysfunction or stress(es) on her body. What is the source of this dysfunction or stress? Who knows?

So far all of us have been advising you not to worry and to wait it out. That is not the only option though. You could have her treated with ABX or herbals to try to kill most of the pathogens in her body. Maybe then her immune system could take over and kill the rest. There is no guarantee that you could ever kill ALL of them, and the other underlying physical issues that she may have will still remain. This approach would not be very expensive.

You could be proactive by taking her to an MD and have her thoroughly tested within the limits of this technology. You would spend many thousands of dollars and insurance may not pay for a significant portion of it. Many lyme patients have had extensive laboratory testing performed, yet their doctors could not find little or anything wrong with them. If you have any inkling that she has a food allergy, then tests should be performed. At any rate, if such a stress is eliminated, then you may have eliminated an immune system tipping point that may allow the bacteria to take over.

You could be proactive by taking her to be tested in ways that would yield a lot more information than the standard laboratory testing. It is based on the testing of energy and frequencies in the body. Many "alternative" practitioners do this type of testing. Some of the approaches are Computronix, Assyra, Vega and Ondamed. We have used both the Computronix and Assyra but have found the BioResonance testing to be the most comprehensive by far. BioResonance Testing can identify underlying weaknesses in the body such as structural and energetic.

I am not advising you to commit to taking your daughter to be treated at a clinic such as the Hansa Center where my daughter was healed. I am advising you to take her there or a place like it for "testing only" at this point. One day of testing at a place like that will be less expensive than a huge battery of blood tests, and will yield far more information. You are worried because of the unknown. Knowledge is the key.

You have several options set before you. Maybe some other members have suggestions that I haven't thought of. At any rate, you do not have to remain passive and worry about it. Pray for wisdom, and God will provide it liberally!
