Helping with all symptoms Lyme and Morgellons itch and crawling.

Important to use a FAR INFRA RED SAUNA once or twice weekly. Drink as much distilled water as you can while in the sauna. Bring a towel into the sauna to wipe sweat and anything foreign away (never share towels and wash them separate). I recommend temps at 125F -130F but do what you can tolerate until you can work your way up to longer sessions with the higher temps.

Do not do crazy long sessions but do try to work your way up so you can tolerate up to 45 minutes. You are not going to get the toxins all out of your system in one session. It took time for you to get sick it is going to take time and effort to heal. The key factor is are you getting sicker or are you improving?

You must sweat. The more you sweat the more you will clear.

You may begin to have strange things that will begin coming out of your pores including grains that you cannot see but can feel.

Morgellons sufferers may have some odd things like insects come pores. You may have what looks like hair come out but this excess "hair" can be wiped away. Each time there may be less of some one thing but something new the next time. Dont be freaked out, as this is good. It is after all being expelled.

Do not worry as these things coming out. Most of it is dead. In fact the less you worry and stress about anything the better and faster you will heal.

After the sauna, shower from head to toe with your favorite soap. Sulfur soap is good but any will do. If you must bathe then shower after bathing. I read somewhere that a shower is preferred to bathing. I would only bathe if I couldnt have access to the infra red sauna but find one as it helps immensely.

Increase iodine rich foods (seaweed is best and highest in iodine) and supplement NASCENT IODINE as well . *In light of recently obtained information supplementation outside of food is cautioned unless you are already sick. Start slow 1mg increasing by this much daily and work up to 15mg. Nascent Iodine should be done on an empty stomach in the morning. You can add it to lemon water which will help your pH.

Increase your seaweed and or kelp intake. If you use and swear by MMS then take that at night away from the iodine. Chlorine and Fluoride will compete for your iodine receptors. Iodine is essential, the aforementioned halides are not. I do not use MMS as chlorine competes with iodine.

Xylitol helps, start small 1/4 tsp and work up in small increments. It can be used externally on any sores that you may have. Cranberry is good if you absolutely cannot tolerate xylitol but not the craisins as they are covered in corn syrup.

Eliminate processed sugar. The only sugar you should be eating is from whole fruit, small portions and around lunch time. Tart fruits are preferred over sweet with the exception of Pineapple but get some variety. If you have extreme yeast issues incorporate fruits and slow carbs only after you get the yeast under control.

I highly suspect some of these crawling feelings are the expansion of yeast populations.

Eliminate breads and yeasts (dont fall for this healthy yeast tale).

Eliminate table salt and use sea salt, Himalayan, or Celtic salt liberally. Your body needs salt but table salt is poison.

Avoid GMO food. Some believe these diseases are made worse with GMO foods. Hybrid foods are fine (beets), it is the new school of GMO that are detrimental (no corn). Moringa Leaf is a good way to get iron if you dont want to eat beats. Supplemented iron in a pill is a useless metal and I believe it can be more harmful than good. Get your minerals from food or vegetable powders.

I find wheat grass powder to be most nourishing. I can feel it being absorbed into my system shortly after taking a couple teaspoons in my favorite beverage. It tastes like pea soup so add it to this if you wish but do not microwave the powder.

I am told brown rice and for some reason beans should be eaten daily, but see if the beans work well with you or not. You dont need to eat large portions. I would incorporate the brown rice first and the beans later so you know if the beans are helping.

Symptom reduction will tell you what is working and what is not.

Keep a food dairy and a health diary so you know what is working and what makes things worse. Eliminate anything that makes symptoms worse.

Turn off the WIFI at night or go hard wired connections and scrap the WIFI.

If you are inclined to use medications Ivermectin helps short term but should be cycled and then later used to control symptom relapse for crawls or itch. You should not have to stay on Ivermectin. Dosing per weight can be found at drugs.com and daily doses should be split into 6 hour intervals.

Fluconazole (FLZ) 400 mg daily will keep the fungal aspects of the condition from progressing. You may need to reduce until you can handle it. You may need to take it for a long time before you see any results and you may need a week long break after the first week due to kidney fatigue. I did.

When you wake up in the morning lie there and LISTEN to your body as it will speak to you. Once your brain gets thinking it is harder to tune in to what the body is saying.

I keep coming back to FLZ. I do not worry about liver enzyme elevation as I do not drink alcohol but if you do check with your doctor.

Listen to your body and your intuition. My intuition told me to take Doxy, NAC, and Carnivora before I even knew they could help. If I feel kidney fatigue I take a break or lower the dose.

A completely pale stool is a warning sign on FLZ. Pale spots on the stool less so but if it happens more than once, reduce the FLZ until you can take it without this happening.

Doxy and FLZ are synergistic and the former prevents resistance to the later and makes FLZ fungicidal as opposed to fungistatic, but I cannot take Doxy for long periods. I had to pulse alternating weeks and come off of it.

Xylitol fights yeast, candida, and many bacteria if you cant handle FLZ. I use both.

If you get bit by an insect or what looks like a bite mark, put a generous dab of antibiotic OINTMENT on it as soon as possible.

I assure you I am going to beat this condition. I have no doubt about it.

I get well with a little help from my friends (at HW).

Fluconazole (FLZ)

I do spend a lot of time researching the disease we are suffering and know many of you do also.

I have just stumbled upon some very interesting anectodes with regards to supplemental iodine. It seems that a few people have reported some symptoms several months after ingesting some form of supplemental iodine.

Another said his thyroid medication formula was changed without him being told months before symptoms. I used nascent iodine to get rid of a painful cyst in my body prior to symptoms. My brother is the one that brought the iodine to my attention and he was using Lugols before his system went full blown.

Others have said they began a cleansing and the symptoms came on.
Although I have never heard of someone eating too much seaweed and getting symptoms.

Others have done neither and then had a stressful event trigger the disease.

Could it be that Iodine is expelling lifetimes worth of toxins and metals out of our bodies through our skin?

Could this be why strange stuff comes out of us? If you are already supplementing iodine and your thyroid feels healthier, are these just symptoms of a rapid detox that we are experiencing? Is Morgellons a disease or is it what possibly happens as a rapid detox on the way to healing?

Have the "leechers" in our bodies acquired a defense against us moving out the toxins?

If we avoid iodine supplementation and just eat seaweed and kelp will the condition stop?

I know it sounds absurd but do we want it to stop or will we be better off for suffering through this for a while as we continue to detox?

There is a very interesting book that I had read called the Iodine Crisis by Lynne Farrow which details how the government mandated that Iodine stopped being used in bread as a conditioner and replaced it with toxic bromine around 1972. Many nations followed suit.

Now I know why bread gives me so many issues. It is not just the yeast. It is battling for the body's natural Iodine receptors. It is slow bromine poisoning.

I am convinced that some of this stuff being expelled out of our system is connected to the Fluoride and Bromine we have all been ingesting for decades. I believe it is also why nearly 1 in 2 will experience cancer at some point.

So lets take a closer look at what the governments, medical, and dental societies have been mandating and or recommending. We know they aren't promoting truth, in fact we often have found the authorities have been misleading us in many respects if not most all.

We also need to take a closer look at what they have been attempting to keep from us (Cannabis, Ivermectin, Diethylcarbamazine (DEC), the list is long).

We know there is a fungal component to much disease. There are medically documented links to cancers. As much as we often have needed antibiotics to live past the age of 30, we also know that it promotes fungal growth as it is often derived from fungus or synthesized using this model.

Are there better alternatives to abx such as essential oils used properly?

We know insects eat fungus and are attracted to us when we are fungal (yeast, mold, candida).

We know insect bites often inject nematode larvae into our bodies.

We know these nematodes love to eat the toxic metals in our bodies but will overwhelm us eventually.

We know when there is an ample food supply in the food chain, other 'dinner guests' will find their way to the food in your body to consume the excess 'food'.

We know we likely have been living with some of these "parasitical" offenders (bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and the like) but our immune system keeps us from getting overwhelmed until it cannot.

I feel as if we are getting very close to answers. I have no plan to stop Iodine supplementation because it has helped me, but be careful not to do too much at once and listen to your body's feedback.

Use natural salts to cleanse and remineralize before you consider iodine supplementation if you aren't already sick. It is probably better to get it from food as supplementation is very strong otherwise. And take it easy. I am going to put an asterisk by the Nascent Iodine in my previous post.

If you are suffering from this disease known as Morgellons I encourage you to email me. My email is in my profile. You have my promise that all of the personal information you share with me as well as your name will remain confidential. I will always ask permission first in any other event and honor your wishes.

Do not ignore my posts just because you don't have Morgellons and think you are dealing with 'just Lyme'. There is no just Lyme or else the cure would be simple and not complex and so different for all of us. There is a connection don't let them fool you with their labels for all of these diseases.

We are now finding that many of our diseases have a common factor. We cannot just assume it is solely a singular factor.

Chx ,you must address the bartonella aspect eventuallly soon imo

my Morgellons symptoms went away when I treated dental cavitation and parasite. I had to hit the parasite meds hard-along with natural parasite herbs and homeopathics. I would suggest finding a doc who can help with all of this.

Hi The Sal, welcome to our community!

I see you posted a few weeks ago...sorry for the late 'welcome'

We do encourage all new members to take a look through the thread "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's packed full of useful information.

Please feel free to share your 'story' with us.
