Cowden Update: Month 5

Hi Everyone!!!

I haven't been here in such a long time. I've got good and not so good news. The Cowden protocol has been excellent. My joint pain and muscle has almost disappeared. Most stabbing and twitching feels have also gone. Brain fog gone. BP lowered. Memory sharper. Body temp has raised from 97.2 to 98.4

Not so good: Palpitations!!!! I don't know what to do about them. If anyone can give me some advice, it would be much appreciated. It scares me so badly and frankly, I feel like it will be the death of me. I can say this here b/c you all understand. But sometimes... I'm ready to make a will.

I stopped doing brushing and foot baths for a bit. Wrong! Don't stop doing them people. I'm back on and notice a HUGE difference. Oh, and juicing. I honestly think the juicing has raised my body temp. All the minerals and vitamins supporting the body systems. It's great!

TIA for any responses. I called my Lyme Doc again and asked to start on ABX asap. I hope this helps the palps.

Hello Leilex....It has been a long time!

Good that a lot of your symptoms are gone.

Were you just treating Lyme with Cowden, or co's? Is it possible the heart issues are from bart? or babesia? (Where's that symptom list when I need it)

I'm not familiar with the Cowden protocol - is there anything specific for the heart that you can take?
I am ordering hawthorne - as I suspect bart - and it's good for the circulatory system - with or with heart issues.

Hawthorne! Yes, that's right. I remember reading about it. Thanks Mike.

I've had my thyroid checked out. Normal. But I never trust the tests. Def look into Cowden. It has helped me immensely! Also, one patient per practitioner can enroll in a financial aid program. I created a post about it last yr. Check it out!

Girlie! I often think about you and the cats ;) I'm back on for good. I've been feeling very lonely and I know it helps to talk with other Lymies. I took a bunch of mag every day for the heart. And I don't which Co it is. I think they all mess with the heart :(

Thanks Opugirl, I don't think it's hormonal but it's worth asking my naturopath about it. I honestly would rather deal with muscle pain vs. palps. I hope you are still doing well!!
