painful glands, pain in ears, inflammed meninges, bloated head, pain in eyes.

When eating kimchee(with pepper) the effects were much more pronouced with pain

in joints, bee stings, gas from candida diet and trouble sleeping.

+++Hi . Like I've written before you will get increased symptoms once you

stop overwhelming your body with herbs, which I've seen happen with many people.

Of course kimchee is antifungal so it will kill off more candida and lyme's

bacteria, which creates more die-off symptoms like you describe.

> I am about 70-80% sure that these are healing symptoms but that leaves 20-30%

that I am setting myself up for a big fall due to the strange nature of Lyme

(bioweapon?). I have read other accounts on the site of painful ears and

swollen glands for candida but still need some more reassurance; the severity of

the symptoms has me concerned that the Lyme feeds off the inflammation process

which Buhner has talked about in his book and this should somehow be

controlled with herbs.

+++How can you be setting yourself up for a big fall when the only way your body

heals itself is with " proper nutrients " and it does not happen if you over-treat

or overwhelm your body.

+++My brother had horrid swollen glands, like mumps, around his face and jaw.

+++How can any bug feed off of the inflammation process when the bug itself

creates inflammation in order to clean out toxins??? The inflammation process

is a normal body-generated process which is part of healing.

> Can I ask what symptoms your brother had when he was retracing? Did he ever

feel like the inflammation was becoming unmanageable? Also, hOw long did he

experience the symptoms and would he characterize his symptoms as chronic or

acute inflammation?

+++My brother got all of the same symptoms he experienced when he had Lyme's

disease originally, however it took less time to get through them when he was

retracing because natural healing takes 1 month for every year. I don't know

how long he had Lyme's originally, but say it last 1 month, which would be

1/12th of a year. If you calculate 1/12th of a month the timing is much less of

course.

All the best, Bee
