My Success Story

Today I accidentally opened an email.  The email was a cry for hope from a someone in one of my groups.  I just wanted to close the email and go about my daily business but I felt compelled, my compassion got to me and I had to respond.  I had to reach out to her and let her know that she would be okay.  YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY.  Considering the fact that this blog gets about 200 views per day, I figure there are a lot of people out there that need to hear words of encouragement, words of hope, and words of healing.  This is my success story and I wrote it just for you, Susan in California, and for you too:

Feelings of hopelessness seemed to come and go for me.  Now I am 100% confident in my full recovery.  Not just hopeful.  I don't even feel like I need hope anymore. However there were times where I was suicidal.  Literally to the point where I told my husband to hide the pain meds from me.  In the midst of my fathers battle with cancer I had to burden my overwhelmed mother with the fact that I was suicidal.  But it wasn't all the time, it was during particular times of the month when I would have a flare of symptoms.  April and August of last year were the 2 hardest for me mentally & emotionally.  Those 2 "A" months.  Little did I know that in just 3 months my whole world would change and I would be doing so well.  My point is this:  just when you think it can't get any worse, sometimes it gets worse!  But then it gets better. It always gets better and you come out of it.  You have an upswing where you start to feel better physically or you just aren't suffering anymore and with that comes the mental lift.  The doom and gloom seems to magically disappear and you begin to see the glimmer of the light shining at the end of your tunnel.
 I know I'm not back to where I want to be but I'd say that most days, I'm 85% "there" and making progress.  This month has been my best month yet with the return of exercise.  I went to the beach on a nice warm day, I got started on my vision board, I got my bike fixed up for the next time I feel completely "un-sick", I signed up for yoga one day a week at a local studio, I found a local doctor to monitor me, run some tests,and help with the damage Lyme caused to my body (hopefully) so I can get stronger and stronger, I'm cooking dinner almost regularly, but most importantly, I'm able to go out to dinner, go visit my parents and ailing grandfather, make some plans and keep them, walk my Doberman on my own, drive alone.....  You get the picture.  I'm making the most out of my life.  My short term goal is to gain back some muscle and be able to exercise regularly as part of my recovery.  The ultimate goal would be able to go back to work full time.  That would be amazing.
I still have bad days, not too long ago, maybe a month and a half ago, I spent about 10 days in bed or the on couch.  It was discouraging, somewhat depressing, and a little scary.  I went into fear mode and had to pull myself out of it.  My practitioner, Dr V, is good at helping me do that.  But the bad days aren't nearly as bad as they were.
 Everyone can get better.  Seems it just takes some time and a lot of trial and error.  I should have trusted my instincts to got off the antibiotics much, much sooner.  Having my PiCC line removed was the best decision I have ever made.  I should have ripped it out a year sooner.  But I was fearful.  I read all the websites and blogs.  They told me that I had to be really sick for a long time.  That Lyme disease was a long rocky scary, painful road.  It was for me.  If you look back on this blog it goes back to the very beginning in 2009.  There are some pretty low posts and some scary posts at that.  In regards to stopping antibiotics, this last time, I trusted my body and just demanded it be over with.  I'm glad I did.

Not even close to being finished, but it is a start!

For more information on Dr. Vinayak please check out his website.  Or you can send an email to chronicallyhealthy@gmail.com and I will forward any emails to him.  I have had a big response to this conference call so it may take a couple of days to get a response.

To answer a few questions that have been directed at me:

• NO, I do not think this is a cure for Lyme disease.  I think it is a tool.  I am not making any claims and I am not a medical doctor.  I just promised myself that if I found something that worked for me I would shout it from the roof tops.
• I feel that I am about 80% well since I started seeing Dr. Vinayak back in the beginning of December 2011.
• I have seen him about 8 times since December and my last session we did right after the conference call remotely using a hand cradle here at my house.  Out of the 8 or so sessions, only 3 have been regular Zyto balancing sessions, the rest have been EVOX. 
• EVOX is Preception Reframing (please read more below).**  
• I still have bad days and I still have a Lyme cycle (flare).  The bad days are few and far between and the flare time is DRASTICALLY different.  I am not suffering anymore.  I suffered.  The pain and sickness was unbearable to me and it was a life of just existing alone.  

I am able to do things in my life like shower daily, get dressed daily, do my hair and make up, go out to dinner with my husband, go to the movies, go window shopping, hit the mall (for the first time in December), walk my dogs, start exercising (very lightly), help out my step kids, visit with friends, clean my house, etc.  I attribute all of this success to ripping out my PiCC line, getting off antibiotics (I think the Bionic 880 helped me do that and I may revisit that treatment sometime soon to get the other 20%), and to seeing Dr. Vinayak and balancing my body holistically.  Here is a picture of me yesterday.  I have gained back the weight I had lost, well most of it, I don't want the rest!  I was down to 97 pounds and if you know me it was a big issue of self esteem for me being so skinny and looking so sickly.

 I just posted this pic to Facebook yesterday, my husband snapped it of me as we were getting ready to go out to lunch and swing by Costco.

One of the kids and I  (and Martini) a couple of weeks ago.

**EVOX is on the Zyto and it is Perception Reframing.  It is healing one's personal trauma's.  After I started doing it someone pointed out that it is mentioned in the book Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment by Connie Stasheim (pages 149, 165, 267).  I was able to read the section written by  Dr. Lee Cowden and I wish I could quote what he wrote.  Something along the lines of the EVOX & Zyto helping one heal from Lyme disease.  It was much better than that, but I haven't eaten yet today and I can't remember.

Here is an article written by Better Health Guy, Scott Ferguson where Cowden mentions EVOX

Here is Scott again on his blog explaining his ongoing treatment and he uses Zyto

Be Well!!  Be Happy!!

Conference Call for Healing

Hey everyone,

I'm inviting you to listen in on a conference call I asked my practitioner to do with me. My practitioner is Dr Vinayak. You can read his bio on his website electrumhealth.com

How I found Dr. Vinayak:

I had an online friend with Lyme disease make a truly miraculous recovery after discovering him. I was very concerned about her and her family so I would try and keep up with her in a private Facebook group I am a part of. I noticed she had left our private Lyme group. I hadn't seen her post in a couple of months. So I went to her Facebook page and scrolled down and noticed she was living her life as a healthy person. She was volunteering at her children's schools, she was cooking meals and cleaning her house. She would take pictures of herself out and about. It intrigued me. So I made an appointment with her practitioner. I felt I had nothing to lose and I was desperate.

Low and behold, here I am. I would say I am at about 80% functioning. When I am able to work a full time job and be athletic again, I will be at 100%. I just started doing restorative yoga at home so I'm on my way.

I promised myself if something helped me get well, I would shout it from the roof tops. So here I am and this is me shouting. By doing this conference call. There is nothing in it for me and I do not profit in any way except to hopefully inspire and help others and maybe open a door they hadn't opened before.

Not everything works for everyone but I hope somehow this can help even one person get closer to getting their lives back.

On Tuesday, February 7th at 1pm (Pacific Time), call in to the number below:

(712) 432-0800

Enter code 818978# when prompted

Once on the call please press *6 immediately to mute your phone. To unmute your phone, press *6 again to speak and then you may enter it again to mute. 

There is no fee for the call unless you are going to be charged long distance by your phone provider. Seems most people have unlimited long distance these days on home phones or cell phones. 

I have no idea how many people we will be having on this call. Individual questions can be asked via email given out at the end of the conference call. 

I hope this goes smoothly!

Treatment of Chronic Lyme Disease

Click on the picture of the book for more info.

There was a lot of "buzz" on Facebook recently about a new book that was published about Lyme disease.  The book is a collection of essays by a founding member of the IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America), Dr. Burton Waisbren.  This book consists of 51 essays regarding the treatment of his own patients diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease.  People are really talking about this book and some are saying it is one of the most important books written on the topic to date.  A book written by a founding and current fellow of the IDSA.... exciting!

Green Juice Recipe

I wanted to post the green juice recipe I have been doing daily.  I feel it has really been a factor in healing my body.  When I first started I could literally feel it going into my muscles.  I think "it" specifically was the ginger.  My muscles would tingle and get warm, my entire body would flush.  My husband said he could feel things "firing" in his brain.  In a good way, like things had been connecting that maybe hadn't connected or worked in a while.  We both felt it the other day.  Felt a buzz, but not like an alcohol buzz.  An actually buzzing feeling.

GREEN JUICE RECIPE

(Choose all organic whenever possible.  The only thing I will slide on is lime because I peel it first.  The most important would be celery & cucumber.  If you can't get organic, don't get it at all.)  Do not peel anything except the lime.

Parsley, celery, apple, lime, cucumber, red leaf lettuce, and  ginger in the middle.  Kale is missing this day.

1 granny smith apple

1 cucumber

1 lime (peeled by knife)

1/3 bunch of kale

and/or

1/3 bunch of red leaf lettuce

1/3 bunch of parsley

3 celery pieces (leaves included)

1 chunk 'o ginger (about 2 in piece - I no longer peel this, just wash it)

Sometimes I will do spinach (MUST be organic) in place of the lettuce or kale.

Depending on your juicer, this should get you about 16 ounces of juice.  I just upgraded my juicer and got 28 ounces in the photo above.  Stir it and drink it right away.  It starts to oxidize and lose it's goodness within 30 minutes.  

I had been using a Jack LaLane Juicer prior and it worked fine but since I am a daily juicer and felt I was wasting produce, I upgraded to the Hurom.  It is a different type of juicer.  The Jack LaLane is a centrifuge juicer and it spins around and grinds/shreds the food.  The Hurom is a masticating juicer and it squeezes and presses the juice reserving more enzymes.  The clean up is a lot easier since I upgraded as well.  Regardless, I find juicing to be therapeutic.  Stick with it.  Make it a part of your every day routine.  You'll see changes in your skin, eyes, energy, etc.  

I buy my produce every 3 days.

An FYI:  Carrots and beets have a LOT of sugar so I don't use them but it is entirely up to you.  ENJOY!
