essential oils/jill

[Guest guest]

hi jill:

sorry you were banned from lymenet...that's a loss to that community

since you are a wealth of excellent information.

anyway, i read that thread on essential oils...and am very

interested in trying to incorporate them in my current battle

against these crazy infections.

two things:

1) can you share the names of the books you are reading.

2) can you keep us posted as your treatment with the oils

progresses. i have an infected jawbone (along w/Bb, bart, babs,

erlich, myco, strep, cpn...etc...etc), yet am unable to take the abx

prescribed for dealing with this...the herxes i experience are

horrendous. the disease is killing me, but so are the treatments : )

thanks and good luck.

regards, lisa
