New year coming...........maybe some new years healed or almost healed stories (a tradition here)

In the past, some come back new years week to tell their healing stories, there are compilations of these by members too through out the year.

Hopefully as this forum gets less traffic every year this tradition still continues. (This was a very busy place 3-4 years ago).

My story is lyme got me into whole body health and how everything is connected, ive been going beyond lyme for a while and so should anyone whos health isnt perfect. The fact that you developed chronic lyme in the first place says that , yes, you have some other hidden health issues that helped this turn into a chronic condition.

I continue to be surprised at the lack of health care from standard conventional medicine, it really is all about big industry, so pathetic. Drs are trained and molded this way. Those who truly want to make a difference in peoples health seem to leave or never were in conventional medicine for the long run to begin with.

Government and most Americans are most interested in making the conventional mold more affordable, when in fact the mold itself is the problem. Hopefully this changes with new generations, as its mostly "old farts" who are suborn and brain washed in there ways of health thinking but I have met some young ones like this too.

I'm feeling great although I'm still treating with naturals and supplements. I have almost no symptoms and have even started working out again.

I plan on treating at least until February of 2020 which would be 2 years of treatment. I will probably continue a maintenance dose of the naturals after that just to be sure but I'm enjoying life and I feel good! I hope the same for everyone here.

I felt like I was dying for several months after my tick bite (October 2017). I wouldn't wish what I felt on my worst enemy.

It takes a long time to grind these infections down. I'm happy to share my protocol even though I've done so in the past. I couldn't guarantee that it will help anyone else but it has saved my life, literally. Best of luck to everyone!

Thanks elvin and girlie i needed some good news.
Sorry to hear that dbwilco. I wish you a speedy journey back to health.
My guess is that the emotional baggage stuff is exactly it. I wish I could forget the last two and a half years. Once I get better 🤞🏼it will be very exciting to be able to think about other things than my health. I do love it when healed members come back and tell their stories though-gives me hope.

Do you think the forums are slowing up because most of the convos have migrated to other social media platforms?

One feature I love about these forums are the archives, it's easy to research and find relevant info.

sebreg, how do you search the archives here, i think the search functionality lacks with searching just the search box.

i think a lot of people moved to FB groups, due to the ease of use. one thing i notice there tho, that differs from here is a 'sense of community' you dont really have that there. and less of a scientific discussion.

when i feel i am at the point of being done, i will surely post my success story here...so others can benefit, and bring hope to those struggling. i think i am getting close, but still hesitant until i am completely off abx (right now pulsing 2 weeks on, 3 weeks off) and any herbal type supplements.

right now I feel good and largely functional, and only a few symptoms that are left that i think are due to other conditions.

this is way better than fb and easier to use. No one gives details in fb, plus zero community feel. Not much participation there. It only helps for local dr reviews etc.

I think somethings are easier there, but the main things that lack are sense of community and quality of posts/dialogue there.

what is easier there is ability to post (i.e. through an app), i like search a little better, and the reply to post functionality - the quote post functionality doesn't work right, and even so the person you are quoting doesn't get notified.

I also like the sense of community here.

And also - what Sebreg said - This forum is what pointed me in the direction of Lyme... so I am grateful for that. And will always be partial to the forum.

Re- Marshall protocol:

“At its essence, the MP involves five key elements, each of which is supported by the latest insights in molecular science. MP patients must:

-take a minimum of four doses of olmesartan (Benicar) per day
-wean off any immunosuppressive or potentially immunosuppressive therapies
-avoid the consumption of vitamin D, as well as certain other immunosuppressive foods;
- avoid as far as possible stress and environmental immune suppression
-manage exposure to light, depending on photosensitivity and blood levels of vitamin D”

From what I’ve read it’s difficult to follow the MP - as it can take a few years and you need to avoid sunlight - dark glasses, long sleeves etc

Below is my current protocol. I got it from researching many sites, this forum, and reading research papers.

monolaurin 1tsp
papaya tablets (from whole foods) 5 per day
apple cider pill 1 per day
turmeric pill 1 per day
