Two treatments, Two Weeks

November 13th, 2015

Forgot to post last week so hopefully I'll remember everything.  Last week she treated me for Heavy Metals.  I cleared minerals.  So the combination of the two of those is really good for me.  I have known since I was a little girl that I was allergic to nickel.  And throughout the years and with confirmation from an allergist I knew that I was allergic to nickel, chromium, aluminum, and a few others I can't think of right now.  Dr. Renee kept telling me I was sensitive to magnesium and not to take it until I cleared both of these.  I had to anyway to help go to the bathroom.  Since I was cleared last week I've went from being bound up most of the time to very loose.  So I'm going to back of the magnesium and see what happens.  I think maybe my body is finally using it the way it's supposed to? We shall see.

Along with each sensitivity she always checks me for an emotion that is attached to the problem.  With minerals it was emptiness, with heavy metal it was frustration.

She was supposed to treat me for salt this week but tested me with my blood vial and it was weak.  So today she did my blood vial and my emotion was Disturbed.  She wants me to think lyme and treat it 2x a day.

She wanted me to start consuming local honey but I'm allergic to beeswax.  I tried it in hopes I would be ok and I got a very sore throat.  So I brought the honey in and now I have to self treat at home.  Hold it, do the acupuncture spots, then set it down for 10 minutes.  Do a total of 6x then avoid it for 25 hours.

Also tested badly for latex so I also have to self treat and then wear it for 25 hours instead of avoid because it's in everything!  Elastic, spandex, etc. But because I did the treatment at her clinic for the blood vial I have to wait 6 hours until I can do another one, so that will be in the morning.

The worst problem this week was I ran out of Dodecin.  I tried to buy some from her last week and she was out and said she would order it monday and have it for me in a week.  Wellllll....that wasn't good.  Dodecin is for pain and inflammation.  Seeing how I basically went cold turkey on it after doing 4 pills a day my body freaked out.  I had joint, muscle and nerve pain all over by Sunday night.  I could not fall asleep because I was in so much pain. My husband had me call off work and I never call off.  Seeing how I'm a truck driver I would kill people if I didn't have sleep.  Not good.  So I looked it up online and amazon was the only place I could find it.  I paid the extra fee and had them overnight me two bottles of it.  My husband had hurt his knee over the weekend.  He broke it in two about 2 years ago and it has not been right since.  Always in pain and this extra injury to it made it very swollen and he was in a lot of pain.  I gave him some of that dodecin and he's been taking it all week.  He's in love with it.  Next to no pain, and he's always in pain.  This stuff is awesome!  I highly suggest it.

I'm pretty much back to the way I was prior other than it got freezing cold outside so now I have those aches and pains on top of it all.  Winter never bothered me before, I used to love it because I hate being hot.  But the last couple winters have been hard on me and I have a feeling this winter will be the worst one yet.

She didn't say what she would be treating me for exactly next time.  She tried diesel on me again and my body said no.

They have a new treatment available called Reams.  It tests urine and saliva.  Says it will reveal simple changes you can make at home to help you feel better, qicker, and keep your body in the healing zone.  So I'm going to do that on the 30th along with my naet treatment.

I love this clinic and the staff so much.  The key people are always going to school and conferences to learn as much as they can to stay on top of things.  And the rest of the staff are very friendly and nice.  Been going so long now they are almost like family.  It's something I enjoy doing every week and I  have high hopes that they will help me.  They are determined and positive.  I don't feel pushed into things I don't want to do.  They let me go at my own pace.  I'm content for now and trying to stay in a positive state of mind.

Mineral Do Over

October 30th, 2015

So I screwed up!  I did a treatment last Friday for Mineral Mix.  I was told I had to wear it for 45 hours because I'm extremely sensitive and allergic to a few things in the mix, which I've known for years.  Mostly nickel, chromium, and aluminum.  Anyway, when I got home from Dr. Renee's I immediately had to go back out with some friends to go on a haunted hay ride.  Then we went out to eat.  By the time I got home I had been up for almost 24 hours and completely spaced it.  The vial was in my bra and I took my bra off and the vial hit the floor.  Only had it on for 4 hours. So that was money out the window!  So she tested me again.  This time it said 25 hours instead of 45.  She said the 4 hours must have done me some good.  25 hours is so much easier than 45!  She also tested me for an emotion that went with minerals and it was Emptiness. Interesting.  Wish I understood more about these emotions being tied with the sensitivities, I'll probably never know, and hey it might be for the best!  I think too hard as it is.  

As for my meds, last week Ben took me off the B vitamin spray because I was having problems falling asleep at night.  They kept telling me how sensitive I am to magnesium and not to use it until treated fully for the mineral mix.  Well I had no choice but to use it.  I was having a hard time going to the bathroom still, up and down, nothing consistent. Kept gaining even more weight so I took it upon myself to use it anyway.  My treatment is done and I'm still going to use it this week.  I have got to lose some weight! I'm miserable, bloated, blah!  I had gained 20 in about 5 months and I eat a low calorie healthy diet.  Pisses me off!  Stupid thyroid!  So when I picked up the magnesium again I lost 10 pounds in about 10 days.  Feel better already!  

I was out of some meds and she tested me on the rena cord and said I no longer needed it.  It was a liver/kidney detox, so I guess they are finally detoxed, took forever.  I can tell I feel better in that area too.  No new meds added this time.  Next week will be Heavy Metals.  Another good treatment I need.  

Am I feeling better?  No not really.  But when they added 7 new meds on me all at once I knew I was in for a ride.  My immune system is doing good, stomach feeling good.  Just fighting off the bacteria is bringing me down.  Drained....perfect explanation.

Blood Work Results and New Meds

October 16th, 2015

Last week I did NAET for Lyme, Gasoline, had to redo Vitamin A, and Integrity.  I was a little weak on a few but she did a 20 minute in office and then I was ok.

This was a 1 hour visit that actually turned into 1 hour and 40 minutes with Dr. Renee and Ben who is a CNHP (certified natural health pro) and he plays biologist.  He's the person that did my original blood work when I first arrived at the clinic.  He took my blood last week, did a recheck and compared it with my original blood work.  Renee and Ben both seemed pleased with the results.  Renee said that there's usually not much change.  Half of mine had a slight change.  For the good.
30 live blood pictures in all were compared
Examples:
Protein Linkage/Inflammatory Protein - the same, so they want me to increase my protein intake, which is hard for me because I'm vegetarian.
Fibrin Clumps/clotting factor - slight decrease
Rod Form/Bacterial Stage - down a little bit
Germ-Damaged Cell Protein Debris - same
Platelet Aggregation - a little better
Weak Malnourished Decaying cells - improvement
Yeast like conditions - improvement
Advanced Bacterial Shaped Germs - Improvement
Degernative conditions/germs - improvement
Damaged White Cells/Damaged Lymphocytes - improvement
Decay Causing Germs in Cells - Improvement

Also said on a side note "First sample showed markers associated with Borrelia, this sample showing a little less but an increase in biofilms"

So basically, the little bastards are hiding, just like they would with antibiotics.

My immune system looks the best and has improved the most.  But our main concern is my consistent and painful IBS. It's very important for my bowels to be working properly and eliminated waste quickly.  The "meds" I'm on must not hang out in my body too long.  Nothing should! So we are constantly trying new meds to help me go to the bathroom.  Gross I know but it's how my body is.  Very slow metabolism.  Lyme attacking my thyroid, etc etc.  Correcting this is quite the process let me tell ya!

So other than the blood stuff, Renee tested all the meds that I was currently taking to see if there were any that I needed to stop or take more of.  I think we eliminated two. My husband was pleased that garlic was one because apparently I smelled like garlic all the time, especially my breath.  Embarassing!

One of the tinctures, sarsaparilla, was upsetting my stomach so we took that one out.  Took D3 out.

She wanted another lyme killer, more probiotics for help with my stomach issues, a few things for immune system, inflammation, pain, yeast, energy.

New meds:
Flora 12 Probiotic - no longer taking the Garden of Life Womens.  This one is also refrigerated. Take 2 at night but I can increase if I need extra help with my stomach.
Dodecin - 4 daily with food - It's for pain, inflammation, nerve pain, muscle soreness
Cumanda - tincture - 15 drops 2 x daily - it's a lyme kill product
Black Walnut - tincture - 15 drops 2x daily - to help kill off yeast
DaVinci Grapefruit Seed Extract, 2 daily, every other week take a break, helps with immune system, killing off bacterias and yeast
Desbio Minerals - 13 drops daily in the morning - good for energy
B complex spray, 6 sprays daily in AM.  Helps with energy, immune system, and helps process food

This NAET treatment was for my blood vial and moodswings (another thing my husband can thank her for haha).  When they took my blood last week they make a vial with my blood in it.  It was treated in house and no need to treat anymore because my blood is in me and can't be avoided.  I'm supposed to think gas, BBF, Lyme, Blood Vial, and Mood swing when I do my acupuncture at home treatment.  Then she sent home 2 vials.  She tested me on beans because I need more protein and my body doesn't process them correctly.  So I have to do 6 treatments, 10 minutes apart then avoid the Dried bean vial for 35 hours.   I also have to do the same for the inflammation vial.  I've been having problems with my plantar fasciitis and foot pain.  I told her that my pain goes up with I do the epsom salt foot baths so I have to bring in some of my epsom salt for her to check to see if I'm sensitive.  I probably am because I'm sensitive to salt in general.  I also have to bring in my B12 that I take occasionally to help with energy.  I should probably bring in 8 hour energy too, same thing but different kind.

Feels like I've been going there forever but I still have a long way to go.  They say 1 to 2 years until you reach remission.  She also told me to let her know if I wanted to add RIFE.  I do, but I'm spending so much money right now on all the meds and NAET I want to wait until I get most of this done.  I still have at least 12 weeks left of things I flagged for on the main list.  Then she's going to work on a few things I'm allergic too.  She did the gasoline last time and was going to do diesel this time but my body did not want to.  She even tested me for exhaust and crude oil and it said it was not safe at this time.  When diesel touches my skin it instantly burns it.  Also skin allergies from sulfa drugs, chromium, nickel, and beeswax.

I always feel like I've left out some information when I'm typing all this but at least I have the majority here for future reference.  This stuff has really jacked me up.  But I'm so thankful I caught it before it became worse.  If this is the worst and it never progresses, I can deal with it.  But I'm hopeful for the day where my good days are every day.  I really miss walking, gardening, going to the gym.  Today was pretty bad but I started new meds so I pissed off the bacteria.  At the store I had to sit down on a bench or chair twice.  I've never had to do that.  I can usually get through it and then suffer later.  When I got home and had to lay down for a couple hours and just rest.

When I talked to Ben about my lyme diet and things I have eliminated I told him I really missed have an alcoholic beverage once in a while and coffee.  He said I could have it in limited doses.   So today I'm having a cocktail.  I'm sure I'll suffer for it tomorrow but I'm suffering with out.  Oh well.  As a close loved one says "life marches on".  Until next time.....adios!

Believing more, Bloodwork, and Gasoline!

October 9th, 2015

So this trip I had to do some blood work so we could compare to my original blood work to see if anything has changed.  I won't find out the results from that until next Friday. While I was talking to the biologist I was telling him my stomach is still giving me problems.  One day it's fine, everything is cooperating, and the next I'm bloated and miserable. So he made a few suggestions to my doctor.  Beet root and more probiotic.  So I will be starting that tomorrow.  Yay, another pill (enter sarcasm).
Then I went in with Dr. Renee.  She checked me on all the things I had to do last time.  I had a hard time with it all because I got the flu or something for a week.  So I put all my to do list aside and treated my cold.  I did do the BBF ok and tested strong on it.  I was supposed to do 75 treatments of the lyme and only did 55.  I was of course a little weak so now I have to do 50 treatments but I can do them 15 minutes apart instead of 30 minutes apart, that will help a lot.  And I bought one of her zapper pen things.  I won't have to use that mini vibrator for all 10 acupuncture points for 20 seconds each, I can just zap it in one second and be done in 15 seconds! Cost $85 but it will be worth it.

But here is the kicker.  I kept thinking is this stuff for real? Is this really working? I've had a few things prove in the past but this one was the real deal.  She tested me to see if I was strong on my Vitamin A that I was supposed to wear for 25 hours.  You cannot lose skin contact from the vial for that period of time or it will end it all.  Wellllll, by accident I dropped it on the floor after about an hour.  I immediately put it back on my skin and damn if I didn't drop it again about 10 hour later.  I put it in my bra and forgot it was in there and took my bra off both times.  Oops.  Well, I failed the test for Vitamin A miserably.  I didn't tell her what happened.  First time this has happened out of all the stuff I have done.  Pretty crazy how this stuff works.

Because I failed the Vit A, I of course have to redo it for 30 hours this time.  She was going to do "blood vial".  Had my blood in a vial and I was going to do whatever with it, but that will be next week now.  She tested me for Latex and my body said it wasn't strong enough to treat it yet.  But my body did approve gasoline, which I'm VERY  allergic to.  So, I have to wait 6 hours before I start that treatment myself.  Then I have to hold it, zap all 10 points, then set it down for 10 minutes and repeat 6 times.  The I have to avoid gasoline for 30 hours and hide that vial behind wood for the same. Next week she said she would do diesel.  When gasoline or diesel touch my skin it feels like it's on fire.  Seeing how I'm a truck driver and around that crap all the time, if this works and I no longer get that burn, that would be AMAZING.

She also checked to see if I had an emotion attached to the Vitamin A.  I did and the emotion was integrity.  So she treated me for that while I was in the office.  What that means, no one knows but my body.  *shrug*

I will be going tomorrow to their customer appreciation day.  I'm going to purchase some of my supplements for 10% off.  And I might try a RIFE treatment.  Depends on how busy they are and what they have available at that time. Some things are free, some things are half off.  Will be fun to try something different.

That's all for now.

Friday Visit Threw Me All Off!

Since my doctor is going away for 2 weeks for a course she wanted to check on me before she left since I started BLt (very strong stuff!).  First it made me sweat like a freak!  I seem to be doing better with it now.  I'm up to 9 drops 2x a day.  Fridays treatment was for Vitamin A and my emotion was Deprivation.  She asked me what I'm deprived of and I told her money haha. She tested me on the transfer factor.  I passed the test but my body did not want to do the medication yet.  I have to do another home treatment and this one is for lyme.  I have to do it 75 times before she gets back.  I can do it at my leisure, but they treatments have to be at least 30 minutes apart.  Ugh. I aslo have to do a full treatment of BBF, again where I hold it 6 times and do my acupuncture points, takes an hour.  I have a lot of homework.  Too bad I can't find the time or remember to do it when I do (stupid brain fog!).  Other than my muscles being sore from walking in Chicago yesterday and being tired, I feel ok today.  Today is the first day in several I haven't had a headache.  Yesterdays headache in Chicago wasn't nice.  And because I saw the doctor on Friday night I was all off balance.  I had to do my 2 hour treatments in chicago and on the train.  A security guard asked me if I was ok at the museum.  Embarassing!  No way could I explain this treatment to anyone and make them understand.  I'm doing my best in this journal.  Can't wait to do my blood work when they get back on the 9th.  Another friday session, that's gonna suck!  I hate doing my treatments on the weekend, I get side tracked even though I set my alarm.

Started the Lyme Kill Medication

9/21/15

I hope everything goes well! I have to go back Friday to see how I'm reacting to my new tinctures that are to kill my lyme.  I could have what they call a Herxheimer reaction.  Basically my body will hate it and I could feel awful and at worst have a seizure.  Wish I was starting it on a Friday.  Ugh.  Anyway....

Last week we did the NAET treatment for Lyme.  I came back in today a little weak and she did another round of it today.  Second time around it just had to be done for 10 minutes while in her office, after the 10 minutes she did the muscle testing and I held strong.  

I've been having heart burn problems lately and I thought maybe it was the garlic because since I started taking it I get the hiccup burps right after.  My husband also hates it because my breath smells like garlic constantly.  She said I would have to stay on it for at least another month.  

She tested me again for an emotion and this time it came back anxiety.  That is something I've been struggling with for a few years.  She said that she could make me a small vial that I can keep and use if I start to have an anxiety attack, basically treat myself.  

She wanted to start me on Transfer Factor meds but my body was sensitive to all of them.  So she sent me home with a vile to do a self treatment.  I have to hold the vile and do all my acupuncture points, set the vial down for 10 minutes and repeat for a total of 6 times (approx an hour total).  Then I have to avoid it for 25 hours.  She said to put it behind wood, that it would keep from transferring to me. 

This time my treatment was for Iron.  I have to wear the vial for 25 hours and every 2 hours I have to do my acupuncture points unless sleeping.  I have to think Lyme/BBF, Iron, and Anxiety while doing my treatment.  

The new meds she has me on to kill the lyme are Blt and Sarsaparilla.  BLt has multiple things in it.  Red Root, Smilax, Lomatium Dissectum, Boneset, teasel, Stillengia Sylvatica, and Black Walnut hulls.  It's all organic and all in drop/tincture form.  

The Sarsaparilla I take 30 drops a day twice daily.  The BLt I have to work my way up with it.  I start out with 3 drops twice a day for 3 days, then every other day I add 3 more drops in a.m and 3 more drops in p.m.  I work my way up to 35 drops twice a day.  I have to take the BLt separate with a little bit of water then take the rest 15 minutes later. 

She wants to see me Friday to see how I'm doing on this medication because it's the strongest yet and she's leaving town for a conference and won't be in the following week.  It will be two weeks before I see her again. When she gets back I also have to do my blood work to see how my body has changed.  
Keeping my fingers crossed that I do not have a bad reaction to this medicine.  That could make for a very bad day/week at work.  *sigh*  

Here is more information on BLt:

 Physician-formulated & tested
BLt™ was formulated by a physician & herbalist as a stand-alone or adjunctive support for vector-related issues. Combining science & technical botanical learnings with a powerful phospholipid delivery system, BLt™ provides the practitioner balanced support with optimal absorption and patient response.
Microbial Support - the layering effect
The body’s internal terrain is composed of millions of microbes; many have a positive influence on the body while other pathogenic microbes adversely impact and degrade health. Maintaining a robust microbial balance is essential for optimal health. 
When a patient is facing serious health challenges that are influenced by pathogens, the doctor may prescribe antibiotic therapy. However, prescription anti-microbials are not always tolerated or effective as a single therapy to achieve optimal health recovery. Many doctors find that nutritional support in the form of herbal microbial balancers may potentiate traditional antibiotic therapy. This “layering” strategy often provides the most comprehensive and synergistic outcomes versus a single therapeutic approach. 
Balanced Support
A healthy body continually strives for healthy homeostasis, with all organ systems working harmoniously. When aggressively addressing one aspect of health, organ system or therapy, there can be a disruption of the body’s healing process, while further potentiating dysfunction and disease progression.
Researched Nutritionals® offers two targeted and balanced microbial support formulations: BLt™ and Crypto-Plus™. These specialty dietary supplements promote:
  • microbial health
  • healthy inflammation response
  • immune modulation
  • organ and & detoxification support
  • normal coagulation levels
  • maximum nutrient absorption via its phospholipid delivery complex
These products are designed to work with or without antibiotics, are soy-free, GMO-free, and are readily incorporated into other treatment protocols.
What to Expect
Patient reaction to these advanced microbial balancers is similar to what one experiences when starting immune support protocols: some patients experience a “Herxheimer” reaction while others do not. However, a patient who reacts to antibiotics and/or other nutritional protocols should start slowly. 
Suggested Detox Protocol
As with other immune support protocols, doctors open detoxification pathways and provide binders to move toxins out of the body. Many doctors incorporate Tri-Fortify™ Orange (1 teaspoon per day) and PectaSol® (three capsules per day) for at least three days prior to commencing and during microbial treatment. 
Features & Benefits
  • Balanced Organ Support – developed to promote healing and multi-organ support
  • Peak Absorption – phospholipid delivery complex for maximum nutrient absorption
  • Superior Herbal Extraction Process – organic cane alcohol is the preferred extraction process for alkaloid containing roots & barks
  • Soy-free, GMO-free & Vegan
Suggested Use
As with any new nutritional supplement, patients should start slowly. For best results, take away from meals and add to 1-3 ounces of water. If patient experiences nausea, have the patient dose the product 15-30 minutes after a light carbohydrate snack.
    STARTING DOSE FOR ADULTS
  • Days 1-3
    • 3-5 drops in 1-3 ounces of water in the morning and again in the evening

  • Days 4 & beyond
    • Increase 3-5 drops every other day, in both morning and evening doses
    FULL DOSE FOR ADULTS
  • This would take 10-14 days to get to full dose of 40 drops in each the morning and the evening.
  • Another dosing strategy used by many doctors is to have patients work up to a double dose (80 - 90 drops twice per day).

1st Lyme treatment with NAET

I forgot to add that last week when she did Vit K that she started treating emotions at the same time.  Not really sure how that works but she tests me for all different kinds of emotions and if any come back then she treats them along with the other treatment.  2 for 1.  Last week it was FRUSTRATION. Makes sense because I'm always frustrated about something or other.  Today she asked my body if it wanted to be treated for lyme or iron and it agreed with lyme.  She also tested my emotions and today it was for self doubt.  

I had an opposite reaction to the glutathione.  It's supposed to give you energy and it was taking mine away.  I was very tired and drowsy.  So she took me off of it temporarily and said I would go back on it another time.  I thought maybe it was draining my vitamin B but she tested all the B components and I was ok on all of them.  Everything else is holding strong.  I'm a little swollen today for some reason.  Might have been that I did quite a bit outside Friday when I got home from work and then stood on my feet for 8 hours straight saturday at an auction.  

Next week will be Iron and any emotion that comes up.
