Oh my gosh, Girlie. You ARE being passed around. Take to heart what Traveller said about the testing. Again, the standard testing is inadequate. They give you the standard "Eliza" test, which is not...
Your TSH T3 and T4 levels won't show any problem. You need to request a complete thyroid panel: TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, anti-TG antibodies, and anti-TPO antibodies! My 12 year old daughter...
It's mostly the fatigue that keeps me from working. Heck, it's the fatigue that keeps me from participating in life as I knew it. :mad:...
Thank you for reposting this! I read it a while ago and meant to return to copy it, but didn't until now. I think a few things can be adopted from it. Not sure if all of it is what'll work, though....
O-...
There seems to be a correlation between the onset of lyme symptoms and hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or menopause. More often menopause from what I've heard. I had no symptoms, not even during...
Nice. An online casino pop-up. Spammer, danber55!...
Missyouall, I think doubting whether we have the disease is something that we all do from time to time. How can we help but doubt it when our medical doctors don't believe it exists! And the symptoms...
My LLND told me that if we're drinking kombucha, we can stop buying probiotics. So, I've started brewing kombucha, and flavouring it at bottling time with a bit of fresh ginger and lemon juice. It's...
If you smoke, it might be worth a try to switch to e-cigarettes. You still get the nicotine, but not all the other poisons that are in cigarettes. After a while, you can cut down on the nicotine in...
I agree, nspeedracer. I feel it's our responsibility to educate people, since the 'establishment' is negating theirs. I know some people won't listen, but at least you have to try...repeatedly. I...
My daughter, 10, has suffered from insomnia practically all her life. She has congenital lyme. Remedies we tried have had limited and short lived success until recently. What seems to have finally...
I'd pass on seeing the I.D., unless you know he'll be sympathetic....
Having lyme probably makes most of us think we're hypochondriacs we are diagnosed. It's because there are so many symptoms, and most come and go and travel around. You aren't a hypochondriac. You're...
Here are instructions: http://www.treating-cancer-alternatively.com/Coffee-enema-recipe.html It is recommended that you are consuming something like chlorella regularly to bind with toxins, as some...
I do! Nearly every day. I use organic coffee that's a light roast, not dark, and not one of the shiney, oily roasts. You don't need green coffee. I also use chlorella and eat a lot of kale. I...
Thanks, Marigold, that explains it quite well. We still get the viruses, but we don't mount an immune response, which is what the runny noses, etc., are - immune responses....
I'd like to know the answer to this, too. I am having my first cold in years, and it's a doozy! I'm kind of excited, thinking that this means the immune system is kicking things up a knotch. Anybody...
I don't know the answer, but I've been getting this type of pain lately. Front of my thigh has a spot that gets a burning pain. Feels bruised when I press on it, quite tender, but it looks perfectly...
Wanted to add that I didn't develop life-altering symptoms until many years after being infected. After being diagnosed, I can look back on the years I spend frequently feeling like I was coming down...
Joint pain doesn't happen to every lyme patient. It didn't happen to me - not until after a minimum of a decade from being exposed. How lyme presents really varies from person to person. The symptoms...
I take Benadryl at night once in a while, and it knocks me out. I take more than recommended, though. 2 - 3 works for me. I think it's not recommended to take more than the bottle suggests, though,...
You're not alone! I said, "what the heck, it's christmas!", and pigged out on anything I wanted - gluten, sweets and etcetera, and feel pretty bad (achey, extreme fatigue) today! Lucky for me my gut...
Concur on 9/10 doctors being drug dealers. They don't seem to understand health, per se, only how to treat symptoms of ill health....
Nice post, Violet. I agree with everything you said. I would be lost without communities such as this, and people like Traveller sharing their knowledge. We can't expect our doctors to help....
It's good that you have so much self control! Me, not so much. I'm working on diet, though, and have gone gluten free (noticed an improvement) and almost dairy free. It's the cream in my coffee I...
I refuse to give up my coffee. I read in one of my lyme books that a prominent LLMD recommends we drink some to help with the brain fog. I'm inclined to agree. :D...
Well said, WWJD. Sometimes when I read my posts, they sound so grim. I need to develop a better writing personality. Everybody's so great here. Traveller, you do an outstanding job, and I read your...
To be honest, I think this got blown completely out of proportion. A person should feel safe to say how they're feeling, as long as they aren't flaming anybody. Saying that she 'gets the feeling'...
You are very appreciated by me, too! I've received a lot of good advice from you, traveler, and others on this forum. You must remember that we're all suffering from lyme here, so take care to take...
Question: Are you saying that somebody has been blocked from posting here and there have been posts deleted? p.s. It's a shame that doctors who practice herbal and natural therapies are accused of...
Deeja, I am grateful for all the information you share. I am using naturals to heel. Have been using Byron White, but since I can only get that through the Naturopath and am out of money for all...
Hi Mariel, My daughter, 10, has vitiligo. Two spots on her knee, each about an inch around, and a few on her ankle. Also some just under her eyes. We don't know what causes this, but suspect it is...
Sounds like the kids aren't having much fun with this, and the cat certainly isn't to blame, even if a tick did hitchhike on him. We have to find a healthy balance between being careful and having...
I would love to find a source for raw milk! Goat or otherwise! I hear it's much, much more nutritious for you without the enzymes destroyed through pasteurization. I've been trying to find a cow...
Don't want to rain on anybody's parade, but Naked Juice is not as "natural" as their sleek marketing claims. They are being sued for using GMO ingredients:...
I am so sorry that you have lyme! But you've come to the right place. I'm still learning about diet myself, but we avoid sugar and don't eat many fruits that are high in sugar. It's good to eat...
I get where you're coming from. Had a crying spell myself today. Bad herx, sick and tired of not having a life. Things will get better. Keep on chugging along and you'll see the light at the end of...
Oh yes, detoxing is almost or even as important as treatment is!...
I drink coffee. I love it and I won't give it up!...
The cost of mepron is highway robbery! I have managed to put babesia into remission using A-babs, along with the burner herbs cryptolepsis and red root. I did have mepron, but could not afford to...
I think it's the perfect time to switch to herbs. The sooner the better, before more symptoms return, too. Your immune system is likely picking up the slack a little bit, and getting your gut flora...
Lol So true, borderlyme. What comes out is actually quite important to health. I remember that from an Oprah show...where she talked about poo. It's even MORE important to us, because we have chronic...
Before I had lyme, the least likely thing I'd be talking about is enemas - or looking at pictures of poop people post in threads about parasites! What the hell? Now it's old hat. I think everybody...
LoL This thread is making me laugh!...
Wow. Now I have an urge to go to a coffee enema right now!! lol...
Organiclyfestylemagazine said... How Coffee Enemas Work Coffee enemas are not done to improve intestinal functionality or to cleanse the colon. They are done to stimulate and detox the liver and...
