Darlene, I am sorry for the problems you are facing with your Mom. I think Donna

is giving you very good advice (as she always does), but as she also says, you

are the one who can make the decisions -you know your Mom and her finances. Just

an idea: If money is available to rent an apartment and pay somebody to take

care of her part of the time, wouldn't be possible to have her in an Asisted

Living for about the same amount? Then she would have her own place and at the

same time the staff to take care of her needs. Are you an only child? Aren't

there siblings to help you?

I hope you find the best solution. A big hug,

Raquel

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to post my story, in case anyone is interested.

I began developing food allergies 5 years ago. I traced it to 2 episodes of

latex exposure and extreme allergic reactions and learned that latex can

cross-relate to all food groups. So I thought that was my diagnosis. But a lot

of things didn't make sense. Multiple doctors couldn't believe I was reacting

to so many foods. I found LDA food shots and began on them 2 years ago.

They've kept me alive...2 years ago I was starving...reacting to every food.

But the shots also make me develop allergies, so I'm on a see-saw diet, and

still don't know if I'm getting over my food allergies or just barely

surviving....I usually don't have enough calories to eat. Enough of that part

of the story.

2 weeks ago my general practitioner out of the blue said he was going to do a

Lyme titer test on me. That started me thinking. All along I've known I was

exposed to Lymes because from the time I was 12 to 18 I would often be bit by

ticks and once I had the bulls-eye rash for about 1 1/2 weeks, then developed

arthritis type symptoms in my knees occasionally. It went away after a few

years and I lived a healthy life until the food allergies.

Well, after doing some reading, I realized it doesn't matter if the Lyme titer

test is positive or negative, the bulls-eye rash, multiple tick bites and all

the immunological problems I currently have point to lymes.

Now I just need to figure out what to do about it. Unfortunately, I am sooooo

allergic to all foods, that I doubt whether I would tolerate any of the

recommended herbs....or if I did, it wouldn't be long until I became allergic to

them also.

I think rife would be great...but I have no experience with electrical

things....I know someone who could give some help, but even then, to buy the

parts for the Doug coil would be out of question.

And, I'm still not sure if I believe that rife is very effective. I keep trying

to find personal success stories with rife, but haven't found too many.

Besides, at least in my case, I would have told everyone I got over Lymes as a

kid, but the truth is, people can think they are over it, but it's still hiding

out.

I think the safest and most economical approach at this point is colloidal

silver. I'm also afraid of developing an allergic reaction to that too, since

I'm allergic to some metals...nickel, gold.

Ughhh...so for the present, my goal is to try to not starve by using LDA food

shots, which unfortunately, have been shown to work for everybody but lymes

patients (I think it's the way the lymes causes an immune response to the shots,

whereas with others it doesn't) and then try to overcome lymes.

I daily think this may be my last day.....for the present I'm at 300 calories a

day and not doing well. But the LDA shot should start working in 12 days, then

I can slowly eat many things I'm allergic to, in moderation.

I just started 5mg Corteff for long term treatment to help with the food

allergies. I know it's not recommended for Lymes, but without it I would be

dead from starvation....and I'm not kidding.
