American Center for Biological Medicine

Has anyone been and if so what was your experience? Thinking about going. I tried to do a search but nothing came up in threads. Maybe I missed it?

From what I have heard it is sort of Paracelsus Institute but cheaper, more accessible, and not so aggressive. I have heard about people going to Paracelsus coming out worse than they went in (My personal friend knows at least two people who went to Switzerland. One got much better, the other one worse. Not with Lyme)

I have had a lot happen in my life and I am not ready to deal with Lyme for one second longer than I have to, sorry, so I have been looking at all the possibilities. It seems like Paracelsus runs at about 50k total. IDK but seems that there has to be a better solution…Also, I thought about the jet lag and although I would be OK with majority of German I would need, still you are in a foreign country and that puts another layer of stress on everything. Then, later on if I need meds, would I have a problem? It just seemed like too much of a hassle for the money. Not like I have any, I am going to have to borrow everything I will spend on this.

Yes I do understand that. But I feel like going to a clinic will give me a much needed push. I was married for 13.5 years to a disabled husband. I did not get a full night sleep for eight years because he needed me and I was his sole caregiver during the last 2 years while he was in wheelchair and on oxygen. All the while working first with children with severe autism and then with learning disabled teenagers. I was bitten 6 months after his death. I did not have a chance. I need a lot of TLC to say the least. I feel like if I get a solid start at healing I can actually finish. Right now I am just trying to hold my head above the water.

I feel like I am absolutely depleted and need more than herbal therapy. I feel like my immune system is completely down. I did consider it but don't know where to start and don't know anyone who would help me. I feel like someone really needs to look at me overall and specifically target what is wrong with me. I am on medical leave from work till September. I need to be able to pull myself together by then so that I don't lose my job. I have been at this for 5 months now with very little result. I have 8 months.

50 K? That's ridiculous, sorry.

Lymbabe,
there are many that go to a clinic to get a good start on their healing and heal well afterwards as long as they have a plan in place for care after they get out. Just do all that you can to ensure that you are in that group of people - don't let us deter you if you feel it's your best plan. We are just concerned for you and how much it may cost you.

I promise, the bottom line here is that we want to see you healed!!!
If you do go, would you consider posting updates when you can? It really helps others to evaluate if that's a good treatment choice for them, and it will help us keep up with how you are doing.

My sleepy brain over the last couple of weeks made me read your post wrong. I thought you were considering going to the place that charges $50,000! I'm glad it was my brain that was off!

You may want to look up Heathersdad's posts. His daughter went to a healing center.

My original homeopath is in Arizona and he helped me a lot when I was so ill in my 20s. Homeopathy was all I used and I felt great when he was done treating me. I didn't have a diagnoses, but now that I'm ill again (nowhere nearly as bad) and know it's Lyme, I can see that I most likely had Lyme back then with many symptoms. Homeopathy has been around for a very long time, but not many people have experience with it, so you won't find it discussed or mentioned much. People disregard it because of that. It can be such a powerful medicine and covered every symptom I had, even though I didn't think to mentions some of them. My knees had gotten bad, but other symptoms were so much stronger that I didn't think to mention that and it went away in spite of that.

I know it would be hard for you to jump into something like that, but wanted to bring it up just in case. I have come across a few who have used it for Lyme with the same success I had.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best and hope you move ahead. I also hope you get a lot of pampering if you go to Arizona. The sunny weather will help.

Yea trying… baths n sauna. Just got the brush. It is like a full time job. You are supposed to jump on a trampoline, juice and drink green slime, then have an enema, then dispense about 3 lbs meds (that cost about $500 per month) and swallow them, drink alkaline water, get in a sauna, take the dogs out, and be positive and thankful when the medical bills are only 4 digits. PHLEASE! Most of the time I get to do about 1/2 of what I am supposed to and then just fall into bed.

I hope you're not trying to do all on that list every day. If you break it down to do some of them on alternate days, that would make it easier. You could exercise 3 days a week, make smoothies on other days, etc. You should be proud of yourself for taking matters into your own hands and being your own advocate. Once you settle on a treatment, it will start to get easier and less overwhelming.

Stay in touch.
