Chronic Tonic

Thanks Mr. Mike, for the update!

Yes, there are some great herbs in that mix! Do you still wake up at night? Did your doc think you have an adrenal issue or the herbs are doing this?

Curious about your chiro. Let us know how that goes. Do they tell you what they are testing for, while doing it? To be a double blinded study, neither you nor the chiro should know what is tested. They should have someone else come in the room with an item covered with something, for example. Otherwise, the results will be (at least sometimes) biased--the psych factor plays a tremendous role. I will try to see what my daughter's reaction is tomorrow. She really has no clue what the herbs are, or what they do, so there shouldn't be any bias there. THey are all in the same color bottles that you can't even see through.

I would like to know what the probability is for this test to get a diagnostic right. BUT:

FYI: Dr. Cowden was asked by dr. H. to develop a system for him, to test abx and herbs energetically. So there is definitely something to it, if done correctly. It should be however, controlled. Otherwise, you get mixed results that will not always be correct. Dr. K is also using it and he tested it on someone where they put the Novocaine in a room, but neither dr. K nor the nurse, nor the patient really knew where it was or something like that.

It turns out that Dr. H did not want to go to learn energy testing, because drs in NY were getting in trouble for using energy testing. So Dr. Cowden developed a technique for Dr. H so that he would not risk his license but still learn how to do energy testing. I bet you give it more credibility now! LOL

So, I don't doubt it works, maybe is not 100% accurate, but I do think it works. Dr. K is using it a lot. Dr. Cowden, Dr. H. These are some big names in the LD and co. field. Dr. K also uses ART. I am just not sure if everyone uses it correctly to control for certain variables in order for the experiment to produce accurate test results. Still, even if it would be correct only 50% of the times, by pure chance, it would still be more accurate than ELISA LOL Which is a joke LOL

I worked 3 nights and could only take it the first, I was having headaches and my face was too flushed. Building my dose back up while I have off days. My generalized joint pain is back. I feel good about the CT so will continue to take it. My experience with Lyme is that whatever makes me better will make me feel bad at first, guess that is the def of Herxing. Anything that tastes that bitter has got to be good for me! Reminds me of that yellowroot that my aunt had me chew as a child.

MM:

I wonder if it's the Eleuthero that is making you wake up... But 4:30 vs 3:00 is an improvement, so hopefully it will get pushed forward even more to the point that you have to get up.

I hope the herxing will ease up... I guess that's how you know it's working... Hang in there... It should get better...

I have to close this one down and start part II
