I've been doing ok, and I thought I'd share some progress I've made.
Last year I had my mercury filings removed, and found an LLMD. He started me on Doxy, Tini, and Rifampin
he doesn't seem to care much for supplements or herbs so I do that on my own. I also get IV Gluthatione 1 x week, so haven't had much in the way of herxes. NAC and Alphalipoic acid are good Gluthatione supporters, if you can't do IV.
my approach has been to bring some of this infection load down with the abx, while strengthening the immune system and addressing some key symptoms, which for me are Neuro fog, and fatigue
for the fatigue I had some hydrocortisone and took a super small dose of 2.5mg and my llmd prescribed cytomel (T3). my body temps were always low, and my thryroid levels lowish.
after a month or so, I dropped the HC but left the Cytomel. this helped a lot with fatigue and being spent in the afternoon. I used to have to lay down or sit and be done with the day sometimes around 3 or 4.
I am working on a high Vit C protocol, and I'm doing weekly IV's up to 100g. What was interesting is that the day after I hit 100g my jaw tension melted away for a day or so, so I'm onto something.
I'm thinking cavitations, so I made an appoint to see a bio DDS to take care of them.
on the Neuro side, I knew I was in decline and over the past year or so I noticed I wasn't quite comfortable driving. I could not visualize my route, but didn't get lost either. I'd figure out I had to turn when I got to the intersection kind of an example. couldn't remember faces sometimes too.
A while back a functional MD had told me to take Fish oil, Phosphatidyl Choline but as we usually do, I tried it a few days and then dropped it. One day after a very uncomfortable drive I realized I needed to look more closely at this and had an MRI. there were some white lessions. some reading later and decided to pick the fish oil and PC back up, in large doses.
to my surprise in under a week, all those weird uncertainties while driving disappeared, and my mood actually got much better, no more depression.
My plan going forward is first to fix the cavitations, and them continue with hi Vit-C, Gluthatione, abx and doing some kill weeks with extra herbs.
I can tell you right now, I haven't had this energy in years and I'd been exercising 3 times a week as well. I think the fish oil and the cytomel really helped me.
There is still plenty of more work for me, but I can tell I couldn't believe how well I felt last week, it was surreal.
I'm also working on leaky gut, and following a keto diet. I'm taking fiber and gelatin daily. I had to cut back on in-denatured protein because my levels were high. I have done a few clay detoxes and need to do more, waiting for the dental treatment first.
From a biofilm perspective I started taking serapeptase, nattokinase, and Interfase plus. I herxed a little the first day.
I hope this helps those who feel there is no progress to be made, and I'd encourage everyone to read, read, and follow your instincts and if need be go beyond your doc.
Sorry for the long post, the short version, support your:
1) Dental
2) Immune/Gut
3) Mitochondrial
4) Brain
5) Exercise
5) kill bugs (abx, biofilm)
Caramba!
