Urgent: Anyone w/ Lyme/CO's been helped by Sunshine Clinic?

I haven't heard of the Sunshine Clinc.


I would want to know what the treatment actually is.

I think if he was that successful treating lyme, we'd have heard about it??

You may get some responses from other members early tomorrow morning..but there's usually not many people on this late.

Thanks, Girlie!

julala, the Facebook page is called Lyme Disease Healed. It is mainly about the Sunshine Clinic but people are allowed to post about any clinic they went to if it offered alternative treatment and they were happy or unhappy with it.

You have to keep scrolling to find testimonials. They are not in any particular order and they are both positive and negative about the clinic.

They ask that you request appointment by email only and you do not really know if they get it or not. This upsets people. They schedule the appointment in order of receiving them and contact you when your name comes up. The clinic was overran and they have to keep openings for their return patient followup visits. They do make exceptions for local people that can come in quickly when they have a sudden cancellation. Most patients apparently are out of state.

I requested an appointment in August and I'll admit I was anxious about not hearing anything so I continued searching out treatments with my current doctors. Then out of the blue, they called me in February for a June appointment .

Hope that helps because I really don't know anything about the clinic except for what I have read. No personal experience yet.

Thanks, Lou!! I never would have found that Facebook page if you hadn't told me about it. Yes, they called me out of the blue like you, for an appt. in 2 weeks! I will let you know how it goes. I think I am going to go.

I see Dee Anna is one of the moderators, and she works at Sunshine Clinic. Interesting!

Hmmm ... interesting indeed!

I am going there for four days next week -- Mon. through Thurs. I read a bunch of glowing reviews on their private FB page, specifically about Lyme. So, I am going for it. I will let you know how it goes!! Based on what other people have said, it may take time and a few to several follow-ups.

julaia, hoping you have a successful visit and healing.

What did you think? How are you feeling? 🙏🏻

Hi, everyone.

Sorry it's taken me so long to post this. I am always overwhelmed, and I am not even working. I am not sure where to put this post. I hope this is attached to the previous conversation I started about Sunshine Clinic in Knoxville.

Anyway, I am not sure what to make of the visits. I went for the 4-day Lyme treatment for $1,500. I can't really give details of the four days because there is just too much to tell. Dr. Sunshine is a very kind and caring man. He spent 1 1/2 hours with me minimum each day. He did chiropractic adjustments on and lots of muscle testing to diagnose and fix problems he found. He had me cold lasered twice for borellia infections he had found using the muscle testing. I did a ionizing foot bath one day. I had a Zyto test and a HeartQuest test done. He didn't use these in my treatment. They were used to prescribe homeopathic stuff and some supplements, all of which they sell there. Based on muscle testing he said my body also needed iodine and acetylcholine. I told him of my eye photosensitivity, and he said I needed vitamin A. I've been taking that and it's doing nothing. The eye photosensitivity is from the Lyme and not a vitamin A deficiency, as he seemed to believe. I am still skeptical, but I am willing to continue giving him a shot if I can raise the money to go back.

He wanted to know my every symptom, and worked on all of them every day, especially the skin photosensitivity. He did a lot of muscle testing with various substances to see I was reacting to any of them. He figured out that my skin was reacting to chymerase (?). I can't remember the word exactly. But he said he fixed it with muscle testing.

I have to check with a doctor first about taking large doses of iodine because I have long-standing hypothyroidism. I have started taking a low dose -- 150 mcg of sea kelp iodine. I just upped it to 300 mcg today. I think it's helping my low body temp. but not sure. Something is making my temp go more toward normal, but it it still low.

From Sunshine Clinic, I am also taking these homeopathics from FuturePlex: Nu-DRCTN and Protomer, which I have yet to start.

So, I don't know. Let me know what you think. And Loutucky, please let me know of your experience there!

I recently started taking teasel root tincture under my herbalist's guidance. I hope it helps. Also taking lion's mane for my neuropathy. And licorice root powder and bupleurum root powder.

Thanks for reading this and for your support.

julala, I just got back from the clinic. He is a very compassionate man who truly wants to help. I've been to so many doctors and tried so many different modalities of treatment that I am a very skeptical person too. I am going back because 4 days are not going to cure me and I've had this since 2001. Just being realistic and I felt he cared about me but I know my feelings alone can't make this work.

He is a chiropractor who does kinesiology with muscle testing, physical adjustments and cold laser treatments. He only lasers what he finds active that day to get the right strain of bacteria. He believes one of the problems in healing is that the bacteria activates so many viruses in the body. I was told that I was overran with viruses which he chases to deactivate as they move.

I knew I had pseudomonas, lyme, bartonella and babesia microti and duncani. He found two strains of lyme, babesia microti, nematodes and pseudomonas the first day and lasered. The second day he found nematodes, pseudomonas and one strain of lyme. The third day he found bartonella henselae, two strains of lyme and relapsing fever (borrelia miyamotoi). I have tested negative for relapsing fever twice through Igenex. This may explain my symptoms every 4 days for 3 days for the last two years. My LLMD believes it is either bart or babesia.

The fourth day I had nematodes, two stains of lyme and Ehrlichia which he doesn't see often in his practice.
He explained that this is like an onion and they run, hide and pop out. He did not have the specific vial strains of Ehrlichia to test me with but hopes to get those soon in the future so I was lasered for general ehrlichia.

So I learned I may also have Relapsing Fever and Ehrlichia.

I have been taking lots of Buhner's bart, babs and neuro-lyme herbals for 9 months. I was muscle tested for those and very unhappy that I was told most of those don't work for me. They won't hurt me but that they are not really helping me. The "good" ones for me were Cryptolepis, Red Sage, Chinese Cat's Claw, Chinese Skullcap and especially Ashwagandha. I am to scared to just stop my bart herbs until my next visit. Not sure what I will do.

I was going to sleep every night at 7 p.m. and getting up at 10 p.m and then going back to bed at 11:30 p.m. and waking up at throughout the night. I was told I had adrenal problems and that he would reset my cortisol clock. After tapping, touching and pushing it was done. You literally could hear my husband's eyes roll and I was so embarrassed. Well it may be psychological but I have been going to bed around 11 p.m. and only getting up once.

I was put on Vitamin D, a B-complex, molybdenum, acetylcholine, three homeopathic tinctures, a topical essential oil for biofilm and mushroom support for immune modulation.

The Lyme Laser Center of New England has a 12 week protocol for lasering but I think it's only for lyme. There are some success stories about that place.

Still continuing my battle.

Is the mushroom support called Immunokinoko? I wasn't given that but I think I need that.

Thanks, Lou!!
