Hi Yogi, I disagree with your doctor.
First of all, let me tell you that I have relapsed a few times in the 6 years that I have been sick. And like you, I have had a hard time going back to feeling good. My last relapse started in March of this year and I am just beginning to feel good again. That is 4 months of feeling like I am starting from the beginning with all the symptoms, pains, and misery. But little by little, I am getting better. I am at about
60% right now. I can usually make it to 90%.
My advice to you is to not give up...ever!.
If you stick to your diet, keep taking your supplements and your herbs, your body will help you fight the bugs and get better. The body is very resilient and it knows what to do, just give it a little help.
99% of the times that I have relapsed were because I had some stressful event in my life that depleted whatever little energies I had and incapacitated my immune system. And of course, the stress also keeps me from getting a good night sleep just thinking about
my problems.
It seems that during stress, something happens to my body that the bugs are immune to the herbs and abx. Almost as if stress gives them superpowers. But once the stress is gone, watch out bugs! cause I come back to take names and kicking butt!
Again, don't give up. Your little baby needs you.
