Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 , you may want to go back and re-read the Burrascano guidelines before submitting to a spinal tap. Apparently, there's not a lot of evidence supporting the idea that this is any more diagnostically useful than a WB. I don't recall if he cites studies on this; but if he does, your doctor needs to be aware of them before running you off for a highly invasive procedure. Two positive WBs should be enough for anybody. Is this doctor a member of ILADS? Sara On Jan 20, 2010, at 4:50 03PM, Chiaravalloti wrote: > Have you had a spinal tap?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Maybe its the bands that came back positive? There were 3 and they were the same each time. I have had mono. Can that make a false positive? She also consulted with an infectious disease doctor. I guess they are not totally convinced that it is lyme yet. No she is not a LLMD.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 The fact that she consulted with an infectious disease doctor could explain a lot. Infectious disease doctors don't understand Lyme as we do. Their professional group made up their minds 25 years ago about what the disease is and is not, and they haven't allowed themselves to be confused by any of the new research done in the years since. The upshot at this point is that they think that most people with Lyme are really hypochondriacs, which is why they're repeating the test over and over. I've never heard of mono making a false positive. (A dental infection can, though.) There are some bands on the test that are suggestive of Lyme, and some that are definitive. It doesn't make sense that you could have two " positive tests " without having at least two of those definitive bands light up. If that happened, you have Lyme. If it didn't, then the tests can't be called " positive. " So I'm not sure what the issue here could be -- but then, I'm not a doctor. I'd encourage you to read through the Burrascano guidelines carefully, and take them to your doctor. And ask her seriously what she thinks a spinal tap will give her that she doesn't have now, and what her issue is with the two positive tests. If it were my spine, I'd want clear answers to these questions before I'd let people go sticking big needles in my back. The bottom line here is this: the CDC very specifically *does NOT* require even one positive test for a doctor to diagnose Lyme. They say that doctors should be able to diagnose it on the basis of symptoms alone, even if the test comes back negative. So your doctor's weird obsession -- and getting two positives and accepting neither is weird and obsessive -- is revealing how very little she knows about the disease. She's doing a big expensive invasive test that, according to the CDC, does not need to be done. It's quite likely that most (if not all) of your health issues are connected via your Lyme. Most of us on this list had that experience. Getting it resolved should make a great many of them go away. I understand the wonderfulness of getting insurance to cover as much as you can; but in the long run, you'll probably save yourself a lot of time, money, and agony if you can get yourself into the hands of a knowledgeable LLMD who will look at your current tests and get the right kind of treatment started without further angst.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 These are the bands that were positive if that helps. 23, 41 & 66. I read that the Epstein-Barr virus which causes mono could cause a false positive test thats what I asked. I can not recall which site I was on though. It seems like every dr that sees these results think I most likely do not have lyme. Examples are my primary which I do not have to much confidence in anyway, my cardiologist and my EP. Makes me feel like its not the case. The orthopedic said I had it. I am so confused!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Rhonda: I am now in remission so off all meds; but when I was taking Enbrel, my allergies disappeared! Doc said it was because they are an immunological disease, too. I've never had a migraine but I can get really severe headaches because of arthritis in my neck. You might want to see if there's anything going on there that could be causing them. Joanna Hoelscher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Rhonda, Ugh, yes I have allergies seems like all the time, but spring and of all things winter are the worst times for me. Where I live the winds in winter bring down mountain cedar from the Rockies and it sets me off every time! It does seem though that since the first flare I had in 2003 that my allergies are worse. Allergies to foods and meds I never had before are manifesting now. I have been on Allegra for almost three years now continuously to help control symptoms. Hi Sue, Were or are you on MTX? I was on it for a year and a half. I had great teeth before I started taking it. During the course of the time I was on it I started having sensitive teeth. Then my gums started receding and my teeth were becoming lose in their sockets. I also started losing my hair, a lot of it! My rheumy took me off MTX and it took about six months for the sensitivity to go away and about that long before my gums began to rise back up again. But it left me with teeth that now break easily. So it is possible for the meds to have an affect on teeth. Ask your rheumy if that could be what is happening. Gentle hugs, Dalene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Dalene, Â i was on mtx and then my liver function tests were coming back high so i had to stop taking it. i use the sensitive toothpaste but that doesn't help. now that you mentioned about the gum line i see mine is higher than it was. the drugs that are suppose to make you feel better sure have bad side effects. thanks alot sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to have to resort to zyrtec since I've taken no medication in years. Do you have any advice what might help me? I'm beginning to feel somewhat hopeless about ever being well... > @@ Hi there, What is your name, please? We tend to address people by their name rather than their email address. The severity of healing reactions and the length of time you experience them depends upon: * how long you've had candida. * the general condition of your body and your state of mind, i.e. how often or severely your body has been exposed to toxins and/or traumatized during your lifetime by injuries, disease, illness, losses and stress. * how closely you follow the candida program (diet and supplements) * how much detoxifying and healing your body can accomplish at one time. Yes, many around you are taking conventional allergy medications, however, yet, they don't get better. If this was the answer people would get better and would not have these reoccurring problems. Therefore, allergy medication is NOT the solution. Zyrtec, is a synthetic antihistamine which will add unnecessarily more toxin to your body which your body will have to address. Furthermore, it will suppress what the detox/healing your body must do ! Therefore , not advisable and why bother when you can use a couple of alternatives below. Also discontinue the homeopathic medication. To assist in alleviating some discomfort from your sinus congestion you can use a treatment or two from link below. Do not use too many treatments or you could slow or halt healing. Sinus & Nose Treatments http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sinus4.php Lastly and however, addressing the cause i.e Candida is the true solution which is accomplished with this diet program and the recommended supplements.

Have you been on my diet and supplements for 6 months, since many other programs fail for many good reasons, while my program does what is most important, which is building up the immune system.

Remember there are no quick fixes and natural healing takes 1 month for every year you've been unhealthy, and for most people today that is since before they were born.

What is your name please? IF you had allergies before starting on this program your body will be " retracing " each and every episode while it is healing itself. How long depends upon how long your symptoms lasted when you had them originally, but at a rate of 1 month for every year. Say for example your allergic reactions lasted 2 weeks at a time. 2 weeks is about 3.8% of 1 month, and 3.8% of 30 days is about 1.1 days. So it will take a little over 24 hours to get through the healing, detoxifying and rebuilding needed during " retracing. " Stresses can interfere somewhat so retracing could take longer. There are things you can do to help alleviate the discomfort, which are in the article Ed referred you to. But also you don't want to overtreat yourself either, since overtreatment can interfere with the body's efforts. Of course all healing comes from within, so consistently sticking to the program is most important. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 > > > Hi Bee, > > I just want to add that I have read the articles on allergies and it makes sense. I have been under some stress since my move back to the U.S. so I suspect either an effect on my adrenals (I suffer from adrenal fatigue though am much better than before) and therefore increased allergies and/or a healing reaction. I will follow the recommendations for the allergies and hopefully it will help. Would you recommend anything to help my adrenal fatigue e.g. an adrenal supplement or to just take recommended supplements? +++Hi Samia, No one should take any kind of hormones anyway since they have a much more powerful effect on the body. You want to treat the " cause " and not the symptoms like doctors do, which we know doesn't work. It's mainly Nutrients (diet+supplements) that provide your body with what it needs to do its job. Since you are stressed, not only from moving, but also because you are still unhealthy, your adrenals are overstressed too. There are many things on my program that help your adrenals since it is a very common issue. Also since you are stressed now you should be doing regular deep breathing exercises as explained here: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php Also ensure you are taking 1 1/2 teaspoons per day of good ocean sea salt since it is very important for the adrenals. See Adrenal Malfunction and How to Improve It: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat1.php But again, don't overtreat yourself for anything, since healing comes from within mainly with the " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements).

Anyway, the reason I advised you discontinue the homeopathic treatments/medication for your sinuses is because they were not effective at giving you any relief, according to your initial posted message. Moreover, with the treatments for your sinuses I submitted for you to try, the combination of too many treatments could slow or halt your healing process altogether. Therefore, the ineffective homeopathic treatment is unnecessary and could be a hindrance rather than a benefit. More is not better ! So, Samia, do try some of the Sinus treatments and see how they work out for you. Try one or two treatments on the list and test their effectiveness for relief. Give the treatments enough time to take effect before you discard them and move to another. Again don't do too many treatments at once or you could slow your healing rather than progress forward.

Hopefully you slowly increased the doses so you aren't getting loose stools. It is also very important to slowly decrease high doses of vitamin C to 4,000 mg per day, and not just stop taking them suddenly. Ensure that Whole Foods powdered vitamin C only contains ascorbic acid, and not anything else like calcium, magnesium, sodium (usually baking soda). The brand I recommend is on my iHerb page, which is Now Foods brand, ascorbic vitamin C, and it contains 2,250 mg per 1/2 teaspoon: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/iherb.php Also take at least 1,000 mg of a vitamin C tablet that contains co-factors of vitamin C like bioflavonoids - see this for details: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp1.php#ad Ensure you always take it with a meal, since it can be hard on the stomach, and also rinse your mouth well afterward since it can be hard on your teeth.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has used the Tapas acupressure technique for healing allergies?
