I had a good appointment today!

Katebirch, I am so glad for you that you met this person. It is always good to have a mentor to follow. Specially one that has the training to be successful.

Please keep me updated on your progress. It sounds like a solid plan.

Excited for you Kate! How wonderful you have someone who not only treats with herbals...but has healed that way, too!

another interesting thing he said today-- I told him in the last week only I have started having knee and leg pain. I had none of this the whole time.
He said the same thing happened to him- he didn't have leg or joint issues, but as he was treating he started to- and he thinks it is actually a sign of progress as the bacteria are probably coming out of the head area where they were so concenrtrated for me, loosening up and moving into the extremities.
He also said at this point whatever bacteria have not been got by the abx have probably figured out how to evade them, and gone into hiding. so doing lots more abx won't achieve much, but adding the herbal protocol and switching it up a lot can get at the bacteria.

He is going to make me a specific herbal formula in a few days--- we talked so much we ran out of time and also he wants to see how I respond to the zhang herbs a couple of days.

So next week I will add in his herbal protocol. I am willing to give his method a try for sure- he is much less expensive than my llmd and as I said he got himself and some other people well.
One lady in our community who was very sick with lyme and very vocal about it, worked with him to get well and is now well. He said she used the rife ( and other things). he said he tried the rife but it made him herx so much but he didn't realy like it and finds other things better for him.
But that this lady had great success with the rife- and actually has one and lets people use it ( I guess go to her house and pay a fee- she is local).
So that may be something I coujld at least try in conjunction though I am not that drawn to it.

I do think I should do the sauna. There is a place with an infared sana I can use about 15 minutes away from me--- I had been way to claustrophobic and anxious to close myself in a sauna just yet! But I can work towards it.
I bet I will feel huge improvement with that,
I am also excited to add the bone broths and I am slowly adding in gluten again- oh JOY!!!! just to try itout- because it seems to me when Iadd it it opens up a whole world of better eating for me.
My practicioner said he couldn't handle gluten when he was sick, it made him hurt right away. But that if I digest it fine he didn't see a problem with it. I loved hearing that and ate an amazing piece of focaccia today- I am trying it out.
There is no one way that works--- I am going to follow my instinct and give it a try!
Stil low sugar though and very nutritious organic eating.

sure- all this amazing info is coming to me!
If you read the link that Utahgal posted in the active thread toKB-- a lady there recommends specific minerals vitamins and supplements to support the body and I just ordered all of them! not from her- from amazon- they are not that expensive ( except the asea which I ordered Himalayan pink salt instead). I think this is a missing piece of the puzzle it just resonates with me 100%-- to add these cell enhancing minerals when we are healing.

I still feel bad- still having shortness of breath, still took the abx today and feel run down and sick---- but I have a plan!

I can see a brighter future- now I have to get the courage to totally stop the abx-- I am already on the teas, so maybe this week when my minerals arrive and I get on them a bit I can finally let go of the abx.

I urge others to look into the video Utahgal posted- I also lower down in the thread posted a concise written copy of what she says. And to just generally consider adding minerals and vitamins in whatever form resonates with you.
So that it is not only killing the spirochetes and detox, but also supporting the body with electolytes, vitamins and minerals.

Hoping for a brighter tomorrow. When I heal from this I am gonna be so full of joy-! I will be a joyous person!

the yitle is ToKB and I also posted the link in a new thread about some minerals and vitamins to consider
