DR. WALKER AND HIS MAGIC MUD

July 27th, 2015

Dr. Renee suggested I visit with Dr. Walker again for some more blood work.  She also asked me about scars from surgery and said that he had some "mud" that might help me with that.  Yes strange, but hey, if it helps, why not?

I went to see Dr. Walker and we gathered the paperwork and viles to do the co-infections testing.  This kinda sums up co infection testing (which is actually covered by insurance, yay!)

"A person with a co-infection generally experiences more severe illness, more symptoms, and a longer recovery. The CDC recommends that physicians consider possible co-infection with babesia or anaplasma when patients have more severe symptoms of Lyme disease. However, other co-infections may be present as well.

Since Lyme disease was first identified in 1981, researchers have found more than 15 tick-borne pathogens that weren’t known before. New ones are still being discovered. In 2011, Borrelia miyamotoi was identified as a cause of disease and recently recognized by the CDC in the United States. Commercial tests are not available for all tick-borne diseases, including infection with B. miyamotoi or Powassan virus."

After we gathered all of that info we talked about quite a few health problems I've been having short term and long term.  He had tried to do the muscle testing (aka applied kinesiology) on me the first time and my body wouldn't react.  Well this time it reacted. Here is a link to learn more about muscle testing CLICK HERE

The muscle testing and scar test showed that I had issues with the area on my neck where I had cortisone shots.   I'm hoping it works because I've been having kidney pain, urinary tract infections. and thyroid problems.  Read more about this treatment below. 

• QRA can find the real root cause of illness. Using QRA, I am able to better understand what is happening in your body. I muscle-test the traditional acupressure points (through clothing), to determine the organs and glands that are under stress and determine the remedies they need to heal.
• QRA precisely identifies the best combinations of nutritional formulas for you
• QRA can identify the precise dose you need to heal.
• QRA is invaluable when treating all chronic conditions and conditions that have been unresponsive to other treatment.
• QRA is useful also when working with patients who are on medications.
• QRA is useful to monitor client’s progress and to ascertain how to take healing to the next level.

Scars, Trauma, Injuries and Vaccination Sites

• QRA can identify and clear chronic interference fields. Using QRA, I can find and remove chronic interference fields caused by trauma to the body, scars, surgical pins, dental toxicity etc. These Interference Fields can reflex through the meridian system to distant and unrelated body sites and create symptoms that until now have been unresponsive to treatment. Note that the size of an interference field, eg scar, does not relate to its importance. For example, larger scars are likely to be more troublesome, but a very small scar can also be highly reactive and create symptoms. Note that it is not the scar itself but the reflex area that creates the symptoms.The solution is to mudpack the interference fields so that energy flow is restored correctly and the symptoms experienced, resolve. I have found that mud-packing of scars, vaccination sites and trauma sites can have amazing results with all sorts of conditions. For example, one of my clients had high blood pressure (hypertension) for twenty years. I found that a large abdominal scar was reflexing to his kidneys and disrupting their messages, resulting in continually elevated blood pressure. His blood pressure is now steady in the normal range following QRA treatment with remedies and mud-packing.

First NAET treatment & IGENEX Bloodwork results are in

7/20/15

A main determining factor in a person's reaction to Lyme disease is their general health at the time of infection, as well as thereafter. If a person has been riddled with health problems, has multiple allergies and sensitivites, or is toxic from mold, yeast, or heavy metals, they may have a much harder time. People get sick and stay sick because of a breakdown of the body in general. Once Lyme disease is added in, these other factors take on a life of their own and together with Lyme overwhelm the body.  Some people carry Lyme for a decade before any symptoms appear. 

I decided to skip the antibiotics.  Why? Because antibiotics make the lyme hide in your body and then they come out to attack again later.  Do to something called a biofilm.  If you want to learn more about that, here are two links:

Biofilm: The Unseen Protector of Lyme Disease

Above and Beyond Antibiotics

I only needed a Lyme Literate doctor for antibiotics so I'm going to a Naturopath instead for alternate care.  All expensive and none of it covered by insurance. Boo!  My first step with the Naturopath was NAET.  What is NAET?

This video explains it best:  What is NAET? Youtube video

My treatment plan includes detox, treating the infection(s), degrade the biofilms that surround and protect the bacteria, decrease inflammation, and support my organs. It all has to be done in stages, slowly and precise.  

Dr. Renee tested me using the NAET system and checked for a lot of common allergies and problems.  Every single one she tested came back with some result.  

Not really sure what each thing means but after she ran the test on all of those she said we can only clear one thing at a time.  So she went through this process of clearing me of BBF. That stands for brain body balance formula. According to the book it says, "This is to balance the overall energy of the body.  If the overall energy is not in a balanced state, an individual can experience difficulty in clearing other allergens in the list."   I held the vile in one hand and she ran a machine up and down my spine, did some sort of acupuncture type thing, tested me again and I was clear of it.  I rested for 20 minutes and they checked again, still clear.  I was told to try and not get stressed over the next 25 hours.  I started cracking up.  I'm a truck driver, no stress? That's funny. 

      It's a lot like voodoo to me haha.  I don't understand it but I'm willing to give it a shot.  A lot of people on the internet are claiming it's working for them and there are a lot of videos showing proof.  What the hell.  It doesn't hurt, it's just money right? Ha! Hell I've been trusting doctors for years with pills, why can't this work? 

     She also did a  Xyto Scan. I placed my hand on this hand sized thing that kinda reminded me of a computer mouse.  It's hooked to a computer and it somehow reads my body and lets the computer know what issues I'm having.  Very Star Trek medical type stuff.  It is explained as: Scans are organized into what are called biosurveys. You’ve probably filled out a survey before; a series of questions that you provide answers to. A biosurvey is essentially the same thing, only you don’t answer the ‘questions’ consciously, your body answers them directly. With biocommunication scanning, the ‘question’ is the Virtual Stimulus Item or (VSI) and your response, which is recorded and analyzed by the ZYTO software, is a change in the electrical properties of your skin.

 This one shows sensitivities, such as allergies. I've known for awhile that I'm allergic to latex because I get a rash from prolonged interaction with my skin. She said most people have things that are no more than 200 in range.  She freaked when she saw the 760 for latex.  I had no idea about baking powder and baking soda or tree nuts! Other tests I had done showed that I had a problem with minerals.  And I know that I'm allergic to chromium and nickel for sure. Big rash! So with this NAET she's supposed to cure me of all these problems. 

 This particular scan shows my Lyme.  It's mid range, nothing off the charts yet. Must be why I'm still functioning and go to my job! A lot of those things on there are lyme.  Borellia is the bacteria from lyme. Heavy metal can be from the oil, diesel, gas allergy I have and it doesn't help I inhale the crap all day at work. 

Two weeks ago I went to a lab and did the draw for the Igenex bloodwork.  They are the only lab in the USA that does the bloodwork for Lyme.  If two or more bands have a double star next to them your result would be positive and it would then be submitted to CDC.  I had two tests done:

 This is the IgG test result.  She said this one is for infections 1 year or more.  While it shows a Negative result it's actually considered by Lyme doctors as a positive.  Reason being that I had 3 items that were not negatives.  41kDa shows two + to the right of it.  She said that means moderate. The two that show IND are inconclusive.  Dr. Renee said that if I took the test again in three months they would probably come back positive. Then the whole result would be positive.  

This test is for infections that are 1 year or less.  I have two bands that showed positive, but they only consider it a positive result if two or more of certain bands are positive.  But she said that because I'm showing two positive bands on here she said I've been infected twice.  Once long ago and once in the last year.  I have not had a tick on me that I know of in the last year.  But they claim that you have a greater chance of being infected from a young tick and they do not stick around like the adults do.  You can also get it from mosquitoes and they love me. Spiders too.  

 So basically I've had 3 different kinds of tests that show I have borellia, which is Lyme.  I'm going to continue with NAET because I've always suffered from allergies of all kinds and I think ridding them will keep the lyme from finding other ways to attack my body.  The more I heal the less it can attack.  Lets hope! I wish I could go through the process quicker because I've been in so much pain recently.  Mainly with inflammation in my joints and headaches.  I'm fatigued mostly because I can't get good sleep due to pain waking me up all night long.  

My next NAET treatment is July 31st at 5pm.  This time she wants me to bring all of my medication and vitamins that I currently take so she can test them to see what I need to avoid.  And the next treatment will be for Egg Mix.  Egg yolks, whites, chicken, tetracycline, feathers, etc. All the components.  I won't be able to have any of that stuff for 25 hours after. That's a long list of crap with egg in it. No omelette for me that Saturday morning! Also have to make sure my shampoo, conditioner, and lotion doesn't have egg of some kind in it. Looks like an all natural vegan 25 hour period coming up for me.  No problem. 

If I can remember, I'm going to see if I can start a few herbal supplements yet.  Guess I will post again on the 31st or shortly after with information about my next treatment session. Thanks for reading! Stay informed! 

Just the beginning with doctors

     I received an email from a local healing center.  For some time I had been interested in going there but kept putting it off.  They seemed pricey but yet had acupuncture and I've always wanted to try it.  This time when I received an email from them I knew all about Chronic Lyme.  They were offering a free consultation with their Naturopath doctor.  So I called and got in on June 15, 2015.  Dr. Renee was timely and I appreciated that.  She asked why I was there.  Immediately when I started to tell her my symptoms I could see the look on her face change and it was like I knew what she was thinking.  After I was done talking she said "I don't think you have fibromyalgia, I think it's something else.  My suggestion is that you come in and see our biologist for a blood screen".  I said, "Do you think this something else could be Lyme?"  And she said yes.  She gave me a bunch of literature on it and I told her all I knew and she seemed shocked and maybe impressed that I knew so much.  Because of her reaction I just had to know.  So I scheduled this blood test.


     June 16, 2015, the day after my visit with Dr. Renee, I had an appointment with my regular physician.  I wanted so badly to discuss Lyme with him.  Just to see what he had to say.  Up to that point he had been nothing but a pill pusher.  He loved writing scripts.  So I told him Lyrica, the medicine for Fibro, wasn't working anymore.  He wanted to up the dose, of course.  I said we already tried that and it made me drowsy and I can't use medication that makes me drowsy because I'm a truck driver.  Told him I wanted off of it completely.  So he gave me a script for a lower dose because I had to be weaned off of it.  I also wanted off the muscle relaxers because they weren't doing anything either.  He offered valium! No thanks, I have random drug tests.  He never offered any help, any other solutions or treatments.  Never asked my symptoms.  Just aggravated me that he was just a pill pusher.  I don't want to be suppressed,  I want to be healed dammit!

     June 23rd, 2015, appointment for blood work at the healing center.  I met with Ben the biologist.  I had an idea of what we were going to do but not really sure of the details.  We went into a small room with a few screens and a microscope.  He put my blood on a bunch of glass that fits under the microscope. It's called Blood Cell Hemographics.  They explain it, "Examination of both live and dry blood under a microscope can help pinpoint stressors that are impacting the body and also reveal how well the body's defenses are handling the impact.  Areas of concern are often revealed before symptoms develop. These techniques can improve overall health and well-being in a simple, affordable method"
     So the first thing he looked for was if I had any traces of bacteria for Lyme.  There it was.  He showed me on the screen, Borellia.  I wasn't surprised after all I had read and all that was going wrong with me.  But I was still unsure of this test.  He continued and looked for everything else that could be wrong.  I hadn't told them a thing about my health issues up to this point.  As he looked at all the details over the 90 minutes it was like he was psychic. He would say I see this problem, do you know about that, yep.  And it just went on and on.  I strongly suggest everyone take this test if it's offered in your area.  He told me a few things that I didn't know were wrong and now I can address them.

     June 29th, 2015, appointment with Dr. Renee.  She said she looked at my results and suggested I have the actual bloodwork done that is sent to Igenex, the only lab in the usa that tests for lyme. I agreed and since it was a monday their regular MD was there and he could help me get the ball rolling.  I sat with him and filled out all the paperwork for my lyme test.  I had to take all of it and go to a lab 40 mins from my house, but he had to fill out all the paperwork and give me the test kit.  He tried to do muscle testing on me but my body wouldn't respond, he said I was "locked up".

     July 6th, 2015, I found the time to make the 40 minute one way drive to get my blood drawn so it could be shipped to Igenex.  Results in 2 to 3 weeks.

Received an email from the healing center that the areas only Lyme doctor would be at their location for free consulations so I made an appointment.

     July 10th, 2015, My husband and I went to see the Lyme doctor.  I wasn't impressed with him.  He was odd.  Said I could do antibiotics and herbal treatments, handed me a bunch of paperwork about all the herbs and vitamins I can take, and sent us on our way.  I was completely confused.  With all that I had read, I knew antibiotics weren't going to work this far along.  Antibiotics will make the borellia hide and then it will come back.  So why bother?  So I looked over his list of stuff and started ordering things online.

     Still confused on what to take, I knew better not to take it all at once.  What if I was allergic to one item and I started 10 things at once? How would I know what was working and what wasn't?  So I made another appointment with Dr. Renee.

     July 13, 2015, doctor appointment with Dr. Renee.  Told her how confused I was and about my appointment with the lyme doctor.  I told her what I was currently taking and what I had ordered.  She freaked.  Told me not to start any of that and agreed with my theory on it all.  I told her I did not want to do antibiotics, so since I made that decision did I even need to go see him.  She said no and that she could treat me.  Good deal!  She's close, easy to get into and he was 45 minutes one way and weird!  So what's the first step?  She said she wanted to do a NAET treatment, 1st session.  What is NAET? It stands for Nambudripads Allergy Elimination Techniques.  It can be used for like 100 things, including Lyme.  According to the pamphlet it says...

NAET is a synthesis of various medical disciplines such as allopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic, kinesiology, and nutrition. It stimulates pressure points along the spine from the neck to the sacrum while the patient is holding an allergen.  After the treatment, a strong NST indicates that the allergy has been removed.  Specific acupressure points are then massaged or acupuncture needles may be inserted for 20 minutes to stabalize the treatment. Avoid the substance for 25 hours.  Allergens are treated and cleared one at a time in a specific sequence.

So, it sounds confusing as to why that would be used for Lyme, it's not an allergy.  But I guess it will all be explained to me at my first treatment. 7/10/15. She also suggested RIFE.  RIFE is a technology based on frequencies.  There is a machine that puts out a frequency for every ailment.  So I would be using the one for lyme and it's supposed to get rid of the borellia.  Guess we'll find out! It all sounds crazy.  We are all used to today's way of medicine, a pill for everything. Well I'm smarter than that.  I know that our new way of medicine isn't working.  It's not healing people, just suppressing it.  For thousands of years herbs and diet were what cured people.  Then along came magic pills.  Easy and lazy.

I have changed my diet in the last week or two.  I'm a vegetarian and have been for 5 years, but I eat fish and eggs.  So I've cut back on my eggs and fish.  I'm eating a lot more fruit and vegetables and trying to each as much organic as I can.  Higher alkaline diet.  Purchased a few books on alkaline diet and lyme diet.  I'll get around to them eventually.  One thing at a time.  The hardest part is eating out.  Like a religion we go to our favorite restaurant for breakfast Saturday and Sunday and I can't figure out what to eat there that is going to be on my "can have" list.  So I just eat whatever.  I'll figure that out in time.

First entry

     Everyone keeps asking me questions about how I am doing and what is going on.  I'm still learning myself.  But it's hard for me to continually talk about it to everyone.  If it's all I talk about then I can never escape it.  I appreciate people asking all the time and understand everyone has questions.  Thought maybe this would be a better way of letting everyone know what is going on.  I will link each entry to Facebook or send it by email so you can all stay up to date on my journey.

     With that being said, I didn't know a damn thing about chronic lyme disease.  The majority of the people are in the same boat.  All we know is that you get bit by a tick, get a bullseye rash, take some antibiotics, and then you are better.  Well, that only works if you catch it right away.  

     My journey started about 10 years ago when I had this horrible migraine that would not go away.   Light sensitive, joints hurt, nauseated, etc.  I was taken to the ER and all they did was dish out some pain medication and do a CT Scan.  The next day I went to my doctor for a follow up.  I barely made it there alone.  The doctor found me in a corner, lights out, covering my eyes and in tears.  He immediately admitted me into the hospital and thought maybe it was meningitis or west nile.  They ran every test known to man.  Bloodwork, EEG, EKG, MRI, etc.  They assigned a neurologist to me and he just put me on some meds and 24 hours later I was at home.  I was off work for a month and in bed the whole time with my migraine. Finally it died down and I went back to work.  The medication wasn't working and my doctor suggested another neurologist.  In the meantime I did some research on my own on the internet.  Put all my symptoms in and Fibromyalgia kept popping up.  When I mentioned it to the neurologist he agreed, changed my medication and I started to feel better.
     At the time I was extremely stressed out due to a new job that required a lot from me and a husband that was mentally abusive.  Finally left the crazy ex and the stress seemed to disappear along with my good insurance.  I could no longer afford the medicine I was on.  Lyrica is extremely expensive so I decided to try and go without it.  I did pretty good for a long time.  
     About 3 years ago my symptoms were back and seemed to be worse.  Back on the Lyrica I went.  My insurance was great so why not.  It worked for a few years, not perfect but took care of all the nerve pain I had.  I was blaming all my other pain on my job as a truck driver.  For years I've been told to find another profession because my body can't handle it.  Bouncing down the road, vibrations from the truck, and just stress from the job.
     My symptoms were nerve pain, muscle weakness, muscle soreness, sore throat, low body temp with an occasional fever, all my major joints inflammed and swollen, foot pain, felt like arthritis in my hands, occasional twitch in my finger or face, panic attacks, headaches, sound sensitive, light sensitive, tingling in hands and feet, bee stings in random places, occasional tooth pain in different teeth, fatigue, can't lose weight, night sweats,....I could go on and on.
      Not too long ago I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease.  Under active thyroid.  So I started medication for that and after several months nothing changed.  In the meantime someone close to me, who wants to remain nameless, had also been suffering for a long long time from some mysterious illness.  Been to countless doctors, all different kinds of doctors.  Each one giving a different diagnosis, always puzzled but very willing to write a prescription.  One diagnosis was Fibromyalgia, once upon a time.  Until early this year, they ended up at a Naturopath doctor's office.  It didn't take long to get the diagnosis of Chronic Lyme Disease.  So I started looking into this disease.  I knew Lyme Disease but not Chronic.
     The more research I did on Chronic Lyme Disease the more frightened I got.  I found a symptoms list and decided to print the list out and check off everything that I had.  Out of the 60 symptoms, I had all but 12.  Unbelievable.  Why hasn't a doctor ever mentioned this before? I was pissed off because no one ever suggested testing for it.
     Then I watched Under Our Skin.  Documentary about Chronic Lyme Disease. Pissed me off even more and it all made complete sense.  Chronic Lyme is the biggest epidemic in the USA and they are hiding it.  If everyone knew about it and got tested for it, so many people would have it and it would bankrupt the system.  They are being misdiagnosed with things like MS, Dementia, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia....it's a long list!  The pharmaceutical companies are making a killing off all the prescriptions for all of THOSE diagnosis.  The insurance companies will pay for regular Lyme, the antibiotics that will initially take care of it.  But no one is allowed to say Chronic Lyme.  It doesn't exist in the mainstream medical community.  No one will touch it.  They are afraid they'll be taken to court and lose their license.   They can't make money off of it because there isn't a magic pill that will make it all go away or tame it.  Who puts money in the politicians pockets? Lobbyists that work for pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists that work for insurance companies.
     According to the CDC, every year 30,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported.  "Preliminary results from three different evaluation methods suggest that the number of people diagnosed with Lyme disease each year in the United States is around 300,000".   And they also stated that could actually be 1,000,000 people a year.  If one million people a year got Lyme, everyone would have it within a matter of time.  
     You can take the blood test and it can come back negative.  Take it again in a year and it's positive.  The bacteria borellia hides in your body.  Then it designs your very own customized nightmare.  Everyone has a different journey with it.  Some might have heart and joint issues.  Others might have memory and muscle issues.  The longer you have it the worse it gets.  And it can kill you.  
     Please be tested!  Don't see your regular doctor for the tests, go to a Naturopath (N.D.)

     End rant for now.  I'm going to document my treatment on my next blog entry.  And will continue to do so as I go along.  This journey has just started.....to be continued.....
