Update: BVT/Ozone/Everything

Hi all,

Few of you may remember me. I was posting here a lot in 20-21 but have not as much lately.

I thought of when I was deep in the trenches and not hearing of any success stories and how people probably just forget lyme and don't want to go back to it and was reminded that even one person saying they got through would be enough for me to keep going so I thought I should check back.

For those who don't know, was bit in 2018, worked until end of 2018 where I couldn't do it anymore, went on leave, was diagnosed June 2019.

Antibiotics, antimicrobials, herbals, you name it, I did for the first two years. Disulfiram full 4 month dose TWICE (which probably cured my brain fog).

Last year went to Cyprus for Ozone which is hard for me to gauge in terms of where it landed in terms of effect because end of 2021 early 2022 I started BVT.

I have now stung myself 3 days a week since Jan 2022 until now and I am as of next week 3 months back full time at work, 40+ hours a week, this week I started lifting heavy at the gym along with high intensity cardio.

I am not 100% but I am definitely back alive. I have some off days but overall I am pretty good. I can manage the off days now.

Just know - there is an answer. You just have to keep trying and fighting. I wanted to not keep going many many many times, every time I tried something and it failed I said I would never go to work again, or never lift weights again, or have a relationship or travel. I have had 2 trips in the last few months and have had a great time at work.

There's obviously a lot more to say but I am here for any questions and happy to help if I can.

thats so good to hear ! im glad u found the combinations that worked for you. and appreciate you coming back to share . ya i never thought any of my life's aspects would be restored . last week i was so glad to be able to bust a knuckle wrenching on a new touring motorcycle . ( i gave away my old motorcycle and music equipment thinking i wouldn't be able to play again) from the ashes there can be beauty ...

Soooo happy for you! Thank you for sharing.

hope steelgrns shares more of their experience. in my experience, bee venom is a bit of a paradox substance. initially it is pro-inflammatory and considered hot medicine tcm speaking. sites of the sting can swell for a couple of days . however in its long term effects it is 4x more anti-inflammatory than corticosteroid injections. has some of the same peptides as chile peppers besides being one of the only substances known to decimate borrelia biofilms(sapi) it also had a mast cell degranulating peptide which for persons with a comprised GI this can be heaven sent after the initial itchy courting phase.

Happy for you steelogreens. Hope you continue to experience continuing wellness. We have been around these parts for years now and it's encouraging to see you making progress!

I hesitate to share this story because I don't want to poop on BVT. The only other person I know in real life that has Lyme did BVT with fantastic results. I tried it two years ago on a M/W/F schedule. The first week I did it everything went smooth on Monday and Wednesday. That Friday I got an immediate uncomfortable feeling of doom after stinging (two stings). My hands got sweaty and my heart started racing. Throat was fine and I never felt like I couldn't breathe, but the episode lasted several hours before my body calmed down. I never tried it again after that. Not sure it's a viable therapy for me, but it seems to be god-send for others.
