If my post can be erased go ahead and do it. Enough anxiety as it is....
Sorry that sounds awful! Didn't mean any harm. Oh well. I digress....
Just something I never saw before - "Keesing's research has shown that one of the biggest tick eaters is the lowly opossum. Ticks seem to like to feed on opossums, and the feeling is mutual: Keesing...
Welcome - In case it helps, when things i took were too strong my doc had me dilute them into water and take a sip once a day and build up from there. 1 drop to a pint, but to make a fresh water once...
We've used distilled water and after talking with my doc we switched to filtered(not berkely - small charcoal filter on city water). Though we feel better, not worse afterwards - the same from both...
Stomach pains are almost a constant for my daughter (she's 5) though sometimes she does get a period of relief - they were the first symptom she was vocal about. The others soon followed, but as she...
I learned about how to handle them from reading http://mthfr.net/ Lots of good info and what to avoid, I'd highly suggest spending some time reading there to gain knowledge about it. My doc also put...
We have oatmeal almost every morning - my daughter loves it. A tsp of olive oil, oats and when it's done we mix it with dried currants, a chopped up brazil nut or two, walnuts or pecans (soaked and...
We have a biomat, but our doctor would like us to get a home inferred sauna for detoxing, so the sweat can literally drip off. Money is an issue so we haven't done it yet. The biomat can make you...
We're not perfect, but everything we do helps. We are lucky and have some amazing food co-ops by us. But we're moving soon and the nearest natural food store will be over a half hour away! I'm hoping...
Folic acid is just in processed foods. Great job on having folate in your multi-vit : ) Last year the FDA was trying to stop the use of folate in vitamins and only allow folic acid, I'm hoping it...
Well I'm not an expert, but am heterozygous (1 copy) of c677t. I can tell you to avoid all enriched fours and enriched rice - which extends to most purchased baked goods, processed foods, eating out...
Food grade diatomaceous earth worked wonders for our super fleas that wouldn't go away (we have a dog with a flea allergy so not even one flea is okay). You have to leave it out for a few days on...
First time I got back to feeling good - energy great, mind working, in the flow of the universe, just all around on top of it... that was from repeated body work (combo of chiro, massage, balancing...
Hi - First off, my beliefs for healing lie more in the natural realm. But you could try muscle testing before taking anything? just a thought, this is what my doc does with me (and as a plus it...
Thanks mauihawaii - the rubbing alcohol is really great! She thinks it smells good! ; ) My fiance is using the rubbing alcohol too on his swollen knees and his spine and is amazed. We'll try the...
I can't explain it(poor short term memory recall), but my doctor talks about the increase in lyme symptoms during the full moon in relation to Chinese cycles of ying and yang. I wish I could remember...
My daughter started teasel - when I upped her to 2 drops Monday night she got very loose stools. We skipped a dose, tried one drop, seemed to increase the frequency of the stools and we stopped...
Tingling was one of my first issues. One foot then the other, then my hands. It'd go off and on. I also have heat issues and I'd flare up every spring and go back to the doctor. Fatigue, stomach...
Sometimes i get that song from finding nemo in my head, "just keep going, just keep going..." which pretty much sums it up. Once in a while there's a good patch though : )...
I was listening to a youtube video this morning of a boy who lives in Australia who said his urine test came back positive and he was waiting on the blood test - maybe this is was the urine test (i...
Right, I forgot to ask the doctor about her vit D - mine was really low so I assumed it was when she was nursing too(didn't know about the lyme then). For the Epson salt baths do you skip the...
We have her on Minor Bupleurum Formula (Sho-saiko-to; Xiao chai hu tang), Teasel tincture and will be adding in the Ceanothus tincture tomorrow. We stopped her probiotics last week for a stool test...
Hi - so my little one just started her treatment (herbal/TCM to avoid more stomach issues for now) for bartonella and lyme (band 39 positive with some INDs). We see her doctor again in two weeks. We...
I'm sorry your dad isn't understanding. I feel you, it's frustrating. Sorry he's being rude about it. I think parents sometimes just can't handle it, especially once we're grown up and supposed to be...
psst. if you're talking about who i think you are - she used to practice there, but is in happy valley now : ) I have found lots of doc reviews online, but not much for her......
We had one, I called him grandpa coon cuz he walked with a limp - he was a super SLOW guy cuz of his injuries. Watched him in our yard for a couple years so we knew he wasn't sick, just hurt....
Not sure if this would help you or not - but just incase - I had some pretty crazy heart issues for a few months after being stressed out, a panic attack brought it on. My heart would race just...
We have a biomat too - it hasn't cured us. We've been using it since before knowing what was wrong (many, many years). Though glad you all found some good things from it. I will say my step...
Got it - i'll write you back there....
Thank you everyone for your suggestions - so many good ideas! I've never heard of urban reserve zoning, wow, in portland (where we are now) a lot nice old homes are being torn down and two put in...
Hi Sue - We live in Portland as well and have an upcoming appointment for our 4 year old with a doctor who is an ND. If that works out well I will give you her info as the appointment is this friday....
Hi - It's been a long while, i've found lots of helpful info here and have been just reading for the past few years. My partner and I are big nature people, but have been living in the city for a...
Hi - I see this post is old, but thought i'd write as I haven't seen many who have had RMSF too. My Western Blot test showed an infection, not cdc positive. Finally traced my sickness back to having...
Lyme is still on the table, but we also live in an old house in a wet climate. I go to a natropathic teaching clinic and take tinctures and herbals & detox, though I think the vitamin D made me...
Thanks for the reply, it just feels so unreal - I keep hoping she'll say she's just playing around and is fine. For the RMSF I should've gone to the hospital, but last time my fever was too high they...
In 2005 I had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever after being bit by an American Dog tick in north carolina. Got better from the fever, but started having periods where i had to sleep a lot, a year later I...
Thank you! I appreciate your reply : )...
Hi - i'm just had my first western blot which came up suspicious. Have positives on 41 and 18 and IND on 31 & 39 (pretty my the same on both parts). Have had symptoms for years and MRI's are clean....
