overwhelmed

Hi all -

My name is Jena. It's been a long year with many docs,

Jena,
I am so sorry to hear all the hard things you are going through!!

When I first got here I read and was told a bunch of different things that did not necessarily work for me. Some were very expensive. I will tell you the things that were most effective for me and I hope they will help you too.

1. I 100% cleaned out my environment. I got rid of anything that looked infected w the "stuff." I got rid of all cotton. (That may not be a need for you, but at least where I live the cotton is super infected.) I only wear polyester or nylon now. Nylon in particular stays free of teh things.

2. For cleaning I use all the natural products I used before - Method, 7th Gen, baking soda, vinegar, etc. But I also sometimes use Lysol disinfectant from 99cent store, and hospital grade disinfectant when I need to get something really clean. I like Citrus 2. I also spray strong bathroom cleaner disinfectants sometimes in that room, adn I use PineSol on the floor. No vacuum... only brooms, because vacuums in my case spread it.

3. Lots of salt baths - for hours in my case. It really helped.

4. Baking soda - dry and wet on my body. If a part is itching you can rub the baking soda in a circle on yoru skin and it will get off teh little things you cant see well. Also, keeping a dry layer on the skin seems to burn away the worms or whatever they are.

5. Fairy Tale Hair leave in conditioner if you have snake hair that bits. The Citronella oil in it especially is great.

6. I took lots of Neem, probiotics, proteolytic enzymes, and oxygen via either Dry Oxy caps or Cell Food. I ate lots of live, healthy bacteria & yeasts... like kefir etc. No processed food, no white flour, preservatives, etc.

Many ppl claim to be helped by Dr Staninger's protocol. You can talk to her over the phone if you are not in LA. I didn't try her stuff at first, but now I am experimenting with the FIR and I hope it will clear out any last remnants.

Oh, also.. most important... do all the cleansing of your body you can. I mean digestive cleanses, heavy metal cleanses, etc.

I did Brenda Watson's cleanse. Many do Dr Natura. Look up Hulda Clark to get a lot of great info, etc.

When you do the cleanses remember you have to give yourself time to gradually adjust. Some are more harsh than others so just be sure to follow the directions carefully.

[jena2]

Thanks for all of the info. I'm off to the store right now...

Hi Jena!
I did Brenda Watson/Renew Life's Parasite Cleanse at first, it got me to hurl up some red shards, it made my palms sweat out some red and blue sharp fibers, it made cotton come out my previously-twitching eye, prolly some other REAL weird things. It didn't kill the Morg for me, so my quest went on.
Fracty ain't kidding some of those cleanses can have alarming results!!!
I wouldn't take the first dose, in the car, on the road like I did, in case cotton or a web or comes out of your eye suddenly, cuz that's pretty weird - I almost wrecked the car!
Prolly want to take the 1st few doses of a parasite when you can set a HOT date with the home-toilet, if ya know what I'm sayin'
The first doses can have the most um, noticable activity.
The metal cleanse I did did, also from Renew, did not seem to have the same alarming/run for the bathroom results. Again, didn't kill the Morg, quest went on...
I'd drink lots of water, seems like that lets things flow out easier and I didn't follow the food instructions, but if I had it to do over again, I would have listened to all the other things that would have helped me heal faster.
Lots of good folks figuring out the best ways to help ourselves on here...
You are definitely not alone, we'll get through this!
Happy V-Day!,
P.S. - I just posted some articles and links that comforted me early on to greet Jane Doe when she joined on. Hope this all helps!

Hi again, Jena! We were just talking about this subject recently. I don't think it got as much response as it would be real good to have.
Once you are OK after your first cleanse doses
You wanna re-start that part of the conversation on that same thread and let's get some more opinions on transmission and contraction for ya?! I'd like to know what more of us think on this, too...Good Questions!

Hang in there!

Hi Jena,

Trying to develop a time-frame here with what you said. What were your operations for? What docs did you see and what tests did they order?

Does your home have any mould or any kind of leaky plumbing? Do you have a lot of mulch or wet soil around your house?

Welcome to the forum,

Oh and I am going to get some mold plates to test for mold in my house. My Lyme doc told me to do this. I am not aware that there is any but I don't know. Could that also explain the itching symptoms or what does mold have to do with it.

Hi Jena!
I don't believe in Big Pharma, antibiotics, vaccines and whatnot anymore myself, but this is a question that's very critical to your personal health.
It's probably best to ask your prescriber these 'interaction' questions, supplements and herbs and antibis can all mix and interact. That Lyme doc sounds like a good source to ask - because the cleanses can make ya toss UR cookies when ya start to kick IT out of you!...
May your 'exodus' be peaceful!,

[fracty]

Can I safely do the cleanses in addition to the antibiotics I am taking.

Ask your doctor. I would think so. But I would try to take them at times other than your Rx meds.

The general practitioner who prescribed the anti-depressant and sleep aids sounds 100% incompetent. A GP is not qualified to make a mental health Dx. I don't know why they keep doing it in these cases. It sounds like his bad Dx caused you many secondary complications. What a quack.

Mold may be a factor or vector in this illness. None of us know for sure.
