Hi Yarrow,

I am honestly humbled by your response. I am so happy to help. I know that

panic feeling all too well. Ironically I was having trouble breathing when I

was writing you this morning. I pushed my treatment too hard and my adrenals

tanked. If nothing else I am learning to control my response to these

reactions.

Before I forget(and i will), I find bioplasma to be really helpful particularly

when I am herxing or weak. It is a combination of homeopathic cell salts. It

is really adaptogenic.

I do use elyte ocassionally, but I don't like them very much either. I use the

ones from biopure. Dr. K. just put out an electrolyte " recipe " . It uses

trisalts, electrolytes, minerals, restructured water,and coconut water to help

rehydrate. If you are getting too much electrolytes the fronts of your shins

will become puffy. Electrolytes are the spark that will power your body. Try

them again in water. I know they don't taste too lovely, but they are

necessary. You can try mixing half the amount of electrolytes with half the

amount of the ultima replenisher. It is a stevia sweetened electrolyte drink.

It comes in several flavors. I think iherb or vitacost carries them. The

replenisher will mask the electrolyte taste. I add just a little more stevia to

sweeten it. I would not recommend the ultima replenisher as the only

electrolyte source. The biopure is far better.

Pay particular attention to diet. I believe that your diet is clean, but if you

are eating foods that you are reacting to your symptoms can increase. Again a

zyto or Asyra scan can help you figure things out. Try to rotate foods( a huge

pain) if you can.

Also keep track of your PH. When infection flares or I am herxing, my PH is the

first to go. It is my early radar warning system. I use alkabase to help

correct it. I find that lemon in water helps too, but when it is beginning to

nose dive I need some sort of bicarb.

Acupuncture may be a really great option as well. It can help rebuild your

foundation.

As for the hypothalamus remedy I use Hypothalmapath by energetix. I also use

their field of flowers remedy. It is a combination of 27 flower remedies. I

take it and then EFT. I figure that at least one of the 27 has to be a good

match for me :-)

I also just ordered Tranquil oil blend from young living. I became a

distributor so i can get a better price on the oils. They do tend to be

expensive. As a result I got to listen to a phone conference last night. The

speaker said that tranquil is wonderful for parasympathetic overdrive. It helps

to calm the pituitary. Lyme patients always have hypothalamus pituitary

dysfunction. Since my dysautonomia leaves me in a chronic hyper parasympathetic

state, I am really looking forward to trying it.

Yarrow, always remember that there are several ways to skin a cat( my apologies

to my cat for that reference) Be patient with yourself. You are on a path to

wellness. It may take longer than you would like, but you will get there.

Have a great night.

Peggy
