Re: Looking for guidance to avoid conflicting protocols

[Guest guest]

Hi Fifi,

Let's see, Wisconsin, camping, swattin' ticks and inconclusive Lyme tests are

all positive things for Lyme.. If you lived on a boat out in the middle of the

ocean,

you probably would not have Lyme...

I first like to hear the symptoms, then where someone lives or plays, add in

ticks

and more and more are the chances it is Lyme... Testing for Lyme and

coinfections

is often not accurate. I have 3 negative tests respond to antibiotics (abx),

I surely herxed while on them, but they could not bring me to better health..

My wife also with 3 negative Lyme tests responded very well to abx and today is

Lyme

free... She was however treated just after the tick bite, even though the

initial Doxycycline

was not successful and she went into the chronic phase, IV Rocephin and oral

Flagyl

was successful for her... I believe having been treated with Doxy very quickly

kept

her infection rate low and thus abx was eventually successful in killing the

Lyme organisms.

If she did not have Lyme as her tests suggested, she would not have responded to

the abx

and would not have herxed... AND for sure, she would not have gotten her health

back just

by treating with abx...

The best way to determine if you do have Lyme is by symptoms and where you live

and play..

Both living and playing (camping) in WI definitely increases your chances of

Lyme... So now

you really should take a look at symptoms (you probably already have).. Since

you live and play in a Lyme positive area, having 10 or more symptoms are a

pretty good indication of Lyme.. Then,

if you herx from a killing protocol, you most surely have Lyme..

Lyme symptoms..

Coinfection symptoms:

Adam is correct on questioning your Lyme, reason is other illnesses sometimes do

mimic Lyme symptoms very closely....

If you have ever herxed from any treatment protocol or have seen the infamous

bullseye rash (usually only seen on 30 - 50%), then you probably have Lyme... If

you've had the rash, it equals 100% Lyme.

And today, it is very common if you have Lyme, you may also have one or more

coinfections... The good news is rife/Coiliing and MMS works on all of these...

Just listening to where you live and that you camped a lot, I feel you are at

high risk for Lyme... But best to be sure via symptoms... WI as you may know is

a very high state for ticks that carry Lyme.. And if you have been to several

doctors and don't have any kind of other dx of illness, this makes for even a

stronger case you may have Lyme as most doctors will not dx Lyme as they don't

know much about the chronic phase of the disease... I went 15 years with only a

dx of gut dismotility, but no real disease dx.. My only symptom was gut

dismotility, nothing else.. In Dec 2005, I awoke with what I thought was the

worst flu, I never recovered, having severe fatigue and brain fog, achy joints

and muscles and a host of other cognitive issues... Having learned about Lyme

from my wife's bout with it, 3 weeks later I realized my symptoms were the same

as hers, I had Lyme.. Soon after joining my first Lyme support group in

January, 2006, I learned from a posting from a paper written by Virginia T.

Sherr, MD that one of the first symptoms of inactive Lyme is gut dismotility.. I

got this dx in 1993 and a total of 70 different doctors never mentioned Lyme and

never gave me any other dx...

I hope for your sake you post you don't have Lyme symptoms!! But I am bettin'

you do...

I think you will find our group is a great resource for Lyme... Somehow the

members always have a way

of helping others see the real truth about their situation... Having you think

about whether you do indeed have Lyme or not really helps you determine what you

do next... I would hate to see you buy an expensive rife machine only to find

out you have mercury poisoning and not Lyme!! The more you talk about and read

the research about Lyme, you will become more comfortable with the decisions you

make... Again, if you have herxed, had a bullseye rash or have a lot of Lyme

symptoms, chances are high you do have Lyme...

We are all in this together!! And while we come here to learn about things that

help us, we also help many others along the way... :-)

Take care,

Jim

without knowing what the problem was, and now that I know it's chronic Lyme

(along with mold illness and mercury poisoning), and now that I've found

Rosner's books and you guys, I'm shocked to find protocols I'd never heard of

before!
