I want to say thank you to everyone here. Although I might not have been on in quite some time because of health issues, coming back online I went back to the two groups I used to participate in the...
Having failed to find a doctor in Long Island, I am traveling back to Florida to my doctor there. I hope my in-laws can manage without me while I am gone. I am a bit worried, but I have to do...
Hi Pinktulip, I would call Ulan Nutritional Systems and ask them for a referral to one of their Advanced Clinical Graduates. The number is (866) 418-4801. I have trained with them and one of their...
Unfortunately until you get to the doctor it might be hard to tell if it is the antibiotics or the Lyme itself. I have had a lot of heart complications from the Lyme, including all that you listed....
Lyme arthritis is difficult and some of us don't get rid of it even after getting rid of the Lyme. I have a practitioner I work with trained by Ulan Nutritional Systems who helps me manage a lot of...
Ozone is a powerful oxidant (the thing you take antioxidants to protect your body from) that damages mucus and respiratory tissues in animals, and also tissues in plants. Ozone is a potent...
emailing you, but just in case you don't get it, email me. Lyme for 12 years, using both types of treatment, am a nutritional consultant and have worked in the medical field for 20+ years, am doing...
I'm a nutritionist, so this one I can answer (like it when I can remember things and help someone else): K1 is the undigested form of K which we get from food and the body converts to K2 to store and...
I posted yesterday, but somehow my post isn't on the thread, so I am reposting. After nearly dying a year ago, I have recovered enough strength to finally get a PICC line. It's a good thing, too,...
That's awesome! My MD in Florida did the same. When I was diagnosed with Lyme he learned everything he could. He even took 10 days off from his practice to go to the conference in Toronto. It is...
Mine smells like rotten eggs. My right kidney is in rough shape now, so that is probably why. It's really nauseating when you go in the middle of the night and are half asleep....
Just from my last year's experience I would highly recommend adding one more health professional to your care line up. I was having the exact same trouble and actually ended up with an enlarged right...
Last year I nearly died from Lyme complications. I spiked a 104.5 to 105 degree fever, fluid filled my lungs and began to surround my heart. My MD in Florida thought I was a goner. I refused to go to...
That sounds like an awesome idea! In my case, though, it won't work. My older sister is in Boston, my younger sister and my father are in Houston and my 18 year old daughter and mother are in...
My Doc in the Tampa Bay area accepts most insurance and is familiar with treating mold infections. He is an MD who uses alternative methods whenever possible (prescribes abx for Lyme and also treats...
If you do it you need to use raw honey and raw apple cider vinegar to get the effect. The processing of these things kills off the enzymes you're trying to get by using them. Health food stores will...
The feed stores are a bit far away, so I am checking with Lowe's and Home Depot first. Using it would feel so good!...
I have Teeners. And sometimes I have not been able to swallow at all. I try and absolutely nothing happens. People with MS sometimes experience this as well since that part of the brain is being...
Thanks Traveler. You've been a real help in so many ways. Am looking for a plastic tub for my walk in shower this weekend :)...
Thanks. Talking to everyone in the group helps a lot. It might have come off as depressed, but it was more just needing someone to understand, which I know here there are people who do. I personally...
I have no one close to me who understands what I am going through. It's interesting how people close to you react when you are really sick. My mother gets upset because I forget to call. Some days I...
Traveler, that is an incredible idea! I don't know why I didn't think of that (Lyme, maybe :) but I used to have a small tub like that which we used for my kids when they were little because we only...
I have the same trouble, only I just don't want to use outlook. However, if you put the mouse cursor over the little envelope under the persons name who you are trying to contact, the address should...
I am re-posting this information from another thread because it is very applicable to what you are asking. The health of your veins and blood vessels rely on proper nutrition. With Lyme disease it is...
My killer migraines have turned into one constant headache that ranges from "damn this hurts" to "OMG! How can I keep living with this much pain?!" It's been going on for 6 months non-stop now....
OMG! I have had so many experiences like these, but I can't remember them :P ! On Friday I took my older daughter to a hair appointment. While we were there her sister called and asked if I could get...
I've been studying this myself. I am a CNC of many years, starting as an herbalist over 24 years ago, and adding nutrition into that mix 18 years ago. Selenium and other trace minerals are key in the...
Hi, I am also in Florida and am working with a new LLMD in the Tampa area. He is working with the LLMD in Mt. Kisco because I went up to NY to see that doctor and got the two of them hooked up with...
Traveler, that's great that you're on it. Hope it works well for you. I am curious, I tested negative on all of the co-infections, but was on antibiotics for 4 months before testing and was taking...
Unfortunately the person who attacked is the moderator, so there is no one to reign her in. And I can understand the emotions. We're all dealing with a lot, or have dealt with it. The response was...
I'd be afraid I would have some of the life threatening side effects and wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a reaction and the Lyme :P Also, I already have enough physical garbage to...
I just wanted to thank everyone in the group. Shortly after joining this group someone encouraged me to join another as well. In this group, everyone is allowed an opinion and we don't get mad at one...
I agree Traveler. The neurological effects can be pretty damned wide-spread. A "specialist" just confirmed today that my tinitus and dizziness was caused by neurological problems probably caused by...
Yeah, I know it's not a new theory, but he's trying to approach it a little differently. There is some doctor who discovered some blood test that is supposed to be able to help you hone in on where...
I have an MD who worked in mainstream medicine for years, but after years of just handing out prescriptions to cover up symptoms, he figured out that there had to be a better way. This man is like no...
Oh, and to answer your question, most people are deficient in magnesium. Even in the foods that contain it, the amount is very low due to the depletion in the soil. I have worked in this field for...
My doc told me I am the most deficient person in Vitamin D he has ever seen, and being deficient in one nutrient can affect they way you absorb others. In the case of Vitamin D, I wouldn't absorb...
I got 2 standards brain MRI's, then one later with contrast. They were able to see that I have infection in my left mastoid (the bone behind the ear) and in the bone around my sinuses on all of the...
My doc thought mine was a virus, too. Please get her to a doc who will get her on antibiotics. There is another doc in DC who was featured in "Under Our Skin". He treated Mandy. It's never too late...
Finding the balance. That is the key... Alternative without antibiotics just wasn't enough and that has nearly killed me. So its onto antibiotics just long enough to handle the co-infections and...
Doctors have to watch every step they take and every breath, too. Dr. Jones' license was suspended because a father accused him of having prescribed medication to his children who lived in another...
One of the things with doxy is that it will bind to magnesium, thereby rendering it ineffective. I have to be off magnesium while being treated with this....
Oh! Kefir made with fresh, raw goat milk! Good stuff! Cat, I have sent you information on how to make it once the grains have arrived. Also how to "care" for them. I've been doing this for 15 years...
I noticed that Dr. Burasscano recommends drinking kefir. It's funny, but about 6 years ago, before my own diagnosis, I was helping a friend and nutritional client who was herxing. It took some...
Unfortunately, when candida dies off you also get a detoxing response from the body because it is not just in the intestine, it is all over in your body and your bloodstream. So, when you...
Thanks Traveler!...
Yes Traveler, that is exactly what he is hoping this doctor in NY will be willing to do. My doctor has already stated that when it comes to treating a patient he never lets his ego get in the way. He...
Thanks 1bitten2xshy. I have emailed you back and accepted your invite. You should see my request. The doc I am hoping to see is one of the top in the country. We'll see after I call his office on...
My doc recently put me on a diet which includes drinking a shake made from non-denatured (raw) whey protein and cold pressed fish and flax oil. Though he uses this for his Type II Diabetes patients,...
