'TAKIN IT ALL!'
Or so it seems....
Our 'BOAT-LOAD' of herbs and vitamins have come! More and more herbal remedies to introduce into our systems, as we are fighting the mean spirochetes that have invaded our bodies!
Brad is continuing the antibiotic regimen for now. When he tried to detox from them all his symptoms started to return. Do note, he has been on and off different regimen's now for 3 years.
His breath hunger was the first to go. The rest took over a year. He hasn't had a migraine (to the level 10 extent) in about 3 1/2 months.
Yet, his head does hurt often...just not to the highest degree. He is still quite weak, and has many aches and pains. He still fights insomnia; although the melatonin has helped some.
His leg pain is the worse it has ever been. He has seen several specialists and is taking a protocol for the babesia as well thinking this is a side affect of it. His heart pain comes and goes.
We still push him in a wheel chair, quite disheartening for him and his family. He has gotten calls for work, and it crushes his heart to say "no." He cannot stand for too long, although -- God gives him the strength to stand when he preaches.
Funds were raised to help start up a bunch of herbal remedies for the side affects of Lyme as well as hopefully dealing with it 'head-on'.
Bulk Herb Store and Vita Cost is where we got most of the products, but we also Ortho Molecular Products, Woodland Essence, North American Herb and Spice, and Ancient Minerals. [Click links]
Our Lyme doctor sent us Ortho Biotic for the probiotic aspects of Brad's treatment (I take all the herbs and vitamins as well). It has 20 Billion CFU + 2 Billion more of the Saccharomyces.
A precious couple found an oregano regimen to help fight Lyme. Purchasing $198.00 worth of the Organol Juice & Oils. It is POWERFUL!!! After just a week my husbands face joints were hurting, this is a herx reaction when something like an antibiotic or herb is piercing through. Our doctor said it also great for the liver too. North American Herb and Spice
Brad is taking the Teasel Root, Cryptolepis Root, Japanese Knotweed Root (all from Woodland Essence) as well as the Oil of Oreganol & OregRESP (oregano oil, cinnamon bark oil, cumin oil, wild sage oil) from North American Herb and Spice. As tinctures, drinking them daily. [Pungent odor for sure!]
Magnesium chloride in Magnesium Flakes. I will be making magnesium oil spray:
Magnesium chloride flakes (1 cup) + Water, filtered or distilled (1 cup) ...
1) Boil filtered water (2) Dissolve mag. flakes in the water (3) Let cool (4) Transfer to spray bottle. It eliminates aches and pains, adds magnesium to your body as the skin soaks it in. Ancient Minerals
