my update

I finally got a proper diagnosis today about my very difficult breathing. Turns out it is not a lyme flare up. so for those of you who asked about the hansa center treating lyme, I still whole heartedly recommend them and their protocols as the best treatment for lyme.

what I have going on is some kind of chest infection and also very weak lungs. I finally got a diagnosis form an amazing Chinese doctor I see who I trust more than anyone. I went first to my regular MD who did all the standard tests and could not find a thing wrong with me- probably thought my breathing was anxiety.

My Chinese doctor today said my lungs are very weak. I still don't understand how they got this weak. But I have been doing his herbs for a while but have not been following his specific requirements- specifically eating early and stopping eating early before doing the herbs, and most importantly drinking coffee and eating chocolate and sugar and rawfoods. All of these, for me right now, interfere with his medicines.
He told me today that my lungs are so weak that if I don't stop the chocolate and coffee in order for his teas to work that I would soon need to use an oxygen respirator from the doctor in order to breathe! That was about the scariest thing I have heard in a while. so of course I am going full force perfection o nhis protocol right now.

He said the lyme is not active in me right now, so that is the good news. Please do not ask me to explain how I trust this doctor ( he does pulse readings, and he is quite well known in his field and renowned and has helped thousands of people, I travel to see him). I did go the traditional MD route too and they let me down. I do not have the energy to argue about my choice.

I just wanted to inform you guys that I got my diagnosis today and I know it is true, and it is not babesia or lyme flaring up. Unfortunatley I just spent a bunch of money on some new lyme medicines that I already opened and cannot return! But I do not need to take them.
So it is great news about the lyme but terrifying about my lungs being so weak that I could need a respirator. I am 43 years old. female.
And I do not know how my lungs got so bad.
At any rate- I hope to move forward from and out of this. I have a path. and a diagnosis. And all I have to do, supposedly, is keep on these herbal teas nightly from the doctor and follow his restrictions. A few others too I won't go into all the details. so that is my update.

It is so weird. I started having them after many months of antibiotics. For me, I am only sharing my own experience here, the antibiotics were so harsh on my body that they started harming my organs, I guess my liver and lungs. My breathing has been weak since then. But it is so weird to me that so recently it has been WAY worse. I know there is environmental pollution from chemtrails ( another issue I am too weak to argue about right now!), but my breathingis so much worse than others'around me. I just don't know how it got this bad when I have been off of the antibiotics about two years. right now it is so hard to breathe. I know I have some kind of chest infection right now ( that my MD was clueless about, even when I mentioned it) but that I suspected. I am not exactly sure why my lungs are this bad. My "Chinese" medicine person ( actually Vietnamese) does not have English as a first language so I cannot always get all the answers-- but he has been telling me many months now to quit coffee and caffeine etc and I have not really. so I know that s what is keeping his medicines form working. I really hope his medicines work now that I will follow his recommendations to the T. I am pretty desperate. The breathing issues came on full force especially in the last few months, but the worst this week.

I am not in NYC and sorry I will not share my local, but my Chinese med person does not take new patients, he is full.
If you are thinking of going to Hansa for lyme I would fully recommend it. I mean- one visit to Hansa may not cure everything in your life forever! I still have this scary lung thing. BUt they are REALLy good at treating lyme.

Thanks. I am pretty scared right now about this breathing thing and still don't understand how it could have gotten this severe.

Just thinking critically and objectively, you state it's a chest infection. Even if its not lyme or a co-infection flaring up, it would still be a pathogenic microbe/bacteria.

So even if it's not lyme and co, treating it with antibacterial herbs is a good idea. I hope your protocol goes well.

Trust your process...it is your own... good thoughts. wholesome energy.

Katebirch,

Many of us have the same opinion of long term ABX as you do! Fortunately there are other option(s).

I am glad that you found out what your lung problem is. That's half of the battle to get well.
