Traveler, You are most welcome to use the article anytime. Also if you ever want to get a coil machine we would be happy to walk you through it. Once you learn how it works it is quite easy.
Our son has had lyme for the past 18 years and last June 6th he started with the coil machine. He wasn't sure at this point that he was suffering with lyme. He was sure he was suffering with cancer or heart disease. I kept trying to convince him otherwise. He was told later on that he had a classic case of the disease plus the co-infections of lyme. He was very sick when he began riffing and when he started using the machine it only made his symptoms much worse. It really shook him up when he began to get all the old lyme symptoms back, and much worse than before. He had suffered from the start with severe heart problems and now they were worse than he had ever had in the past 18 years. He complained that he couldn't think and that his brain was so fogged up that he couldn't think straight. He said his brain was gone. His headaches were worse than before and his hands and feet hurt terribly and was unable to sleep. He became more depressed and anxious and would loose his temper with the slightest provocation and would throw things. His face was puffed up with blood shot eyes and he had that tired sad dog -eyed look that most people with lyme show. He was very discouraged. The months following the start of treatment with the coil machine were soooo hard on the whole family. He knew it was his last change to eventually find relief from these terrible tick borne diseases so he kept pressing on.
Our son had been in denial that his past health problems all seemed to stem from lyme as the Doctors would always say that this and that problem were not caused by lyme. They were the authority and he would not listen to what I kept trying to tell him. It kept him in a complete state of confusion as to what was happening to him. As a Mother, knowing that our son was in perfect health until he was bitten by a lyme tick back in 1993, I knew that it had to be lyme related. It took many tests and finally getting to a lyme Doctor who knew what tests to run that he was finally diagnosed with lyme disease. When he came down with mycoplasma pnemoniae about 5 years ago he did not believe that it was lyme related. We have never seen anyone so sick as he was and we all thought he would not make it. He ended up in the hospital for quite some time.I had read up on all the lyme symptoms and knew they were connected to lyme. For the next 7 months after starting treatment with the coil machine his symptoms started getting less and less after each session on the machine.
We purchased a fixer-upper house in Grass Valley, Ca. this past April and he worked like a dog non-stop on this project, something he could never have done during the prior 18 years. He just came by tonight and I was able to ask him about his symptoms and he smiled and with his eyes sparkling, said that perhaps there was really help for him with the machine and he finally admits to having lyme disease. He told me that he only rifes now once a week and sometimes every 3 weeks and that he gets very little Herx's if any after using it. Since he has had lyme for so many years, we know that it will probably kick back during the seasonal times when it multiplies, but perhaps the machine will keep doing its job.
He owns an infra-red sauna and was able to detoxify after each session with the coil machine and you are so right that this is very important to do. He drank a lot of water while on treatment. He is one of the lucky ones that has had a lot of support from his wife and son and family.
