Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 and everybody! I haven't followed all the posts as I just came back from hollidays... Sorry to hear of you all suffering relapses. Not my case this year. I think in my case in last year's holidays, it was more due to cold (colder winter days) than with food but I can't 'swear' as I was not too 'food' aware (at least, not sugar/carb aware) until these last months. I spent half of my holidays on a strict sugar and carb diet, not because of lyme, but because of my feet/hand fungi (chronic) and guess what? It's gone. I consumed lots of Agave as sugar substitute, and never flared from it. I'm still on light detox treatment (foot baths), but it's gone!!!!! I hope it won't come back, but I still can't be too confident, as this was a total chronic infection. I changed my attack plan, concentrated more on detox and massage than on killing. I'm back to full normal sugar/ carb consumption, drinking my glass of wine daily (now I'll stop, as the parties ended...). No problem these last 10 days or so, no flares either. Just a few days until Xmas, I was still flaring. Since then, no more flares, my skin is still not totally healed, but I'm still doing my foot/ hand baths with salt. If any of you is feeling infection is back, get away from alcohol. Alcohol was very immunosupressive in all times for me. I read a text about Gu infections sometime in November, and I guess the doctor gave me 3 good insights on chronic infections: 1- that blood stagnation is a characteristic of chronic infections/ fungal infections so we need to counter attack this making not only the blood move, but making the Chi move (with accupressure/ moxibustion/ accupuncture/ Taichi or ChiQong or Yoga breathing exercises, not only with physical exercise) - I did accupressure/ moxibustion to try to stimulate my ANS to produce right hormones to keep my extremities warm, as well as I got back to my ChiQong breathing/ moving exercises plus one or two Yoga breathing techniques to make the Chi move). I'm still on all these 3 things. These stuff amazingly help my extremities to be warmer than any physical exercise. 2- that caustic herbs/ medicines like Rifampin/ strong herbs is not a solution long term, only a brief solution short term (which for me is very true, nothing too strong ever helped me to get rid of a long term infection, but my body prefers milder killers)- this time, I chose to take only astragalus, propolis, coconut milk (bits), and diluted tee tree oil with jojoba oil to rub on skin, and that was all I used as killers, nothing stronger. 3- that critters developed toxicity not by accident, but on the contrary, they developed toxic substances to win the battle against us, to poison the host as best as they can so that our immune system won't work well. So they poison us while alive with their by-products on purpose, and also when they die and evolution 'chose' these critters because they're more toxic than others, so they can win against more people. I'm now a total believer on that. If we don't address their toxins, they'll win. I'm not talking about heavy metals specifically, I'm talking about biological toxins. These 3 things above made me think a lot, and I used these 3 approaches for my fungal battle this time. To clean their toxicity, I used chlorella, lots of cardamon in black tea, and did daily long massages on my feet/ hands while doing these baths on hot water with sea salt and vinegar. The baths pulled lots of fungal toxins, my skin changes color everytime I finish a bath (from deep purple to red/ skin color). Baths plus the massage (I kept asking where to massage more), plus the accupressure/ Chi Qong, kept the energy moving/ toxins cleaned. At least, that's what I believe. The only 3 new things I did were these massages, the low carb diet and muscle tests to ask how long must I do the baths/ massages. had suggested that low carb diet helped her, and I decided to do that (zero sugar, low carb). Difficult, but I could do it for a few weeks, until I didn't flare anymore. Lots of avocados, lots of home made yoghurts, kefir, fresh cheese, some beans, eggs, seeds/ nuts, meat protein, veggies of all sorts, and only ate the darkest bread possible once a day. Two spoons of brown rice or a small potato in a meal but nothing else... It was the first time in my life I didn't eat fruits for weeks. Difficult. Diet only doesn't cure, I believe, but it helped me not to get flares. I'm taking only astragalus once a day, cats claw (1 00 pill) once a day too, these are the only herbs that test for me. The others test forbidden so I'm not taking. I'm still knocking on wood, but I think lyme and co-infections are again back to backstage for about a month or so. This last lyme relapse was very mild and very easy to control. Detoxing is the most important thing to do in my opinion, and also 'pshycho' detox. Never forget the pshychological part, in my case, in almost every infection/ problem I had a related pshychological blockage/ problem to treat. So I guess, the trio: attack infections mildly + detox what the body is needing in the moment + cleaning pshychological problems related to the disease(s) made the combination I needed (so far). Cardamon proved to be an important detoxifier for fungal toxins in these last weeks, as well as sencha (Japanese) but taken in different times of the day or on different days. Chlorella proved (for me) to be the most precious detoxifier during lyme / co-infections and an important detoxifier in this last fungal battle. I owe chlorella a lot. I feel my chronic infections war is reaching an end. I don't believe heavy metals is a big issue for me anymore. My whole body has very soft skin. More battles may come, but it does feel like the time of the battles are getting shorter and it's much easier to get them under control (symptom free condition). A bit like 'everybody' else, they get a cold, treat a bit, they get better. They get lyme, they treat a bit, they get better. And so on. I hope you all can get back to a normal/ quiet life without chronic infections and toxins. I'm more and more convinced that killing is a tiny part of the treatment and that the most difficult is still detoxing. For some reason, critters' toxins stay stuck in some parts of our bodies (due to pshycho blockage, heavy metals, lack of Chi moving, blood coagulation etc) and that's the main reason we don't get better.
