Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • Coiling Break

    As I mentioned in my last post, I had a two week planned break from coiling (Jan 13-25). I did my best guess of when to take a break based on a few factors: I was expecting to be done… Continue reading

  • The First Lyme Season

    My first Lyme Season of coiling is over. It started in late August (the Lyme flare built slowly) and I started coiling in earnest in late September when I read about a more comprehensive Lyme protocol. When I started it,… Continue reading

  • Condensed Lyme Coiling

    This week I condensed my Lyme coiling schedule. My hope was that I could have the Herx earlier and be free for the Christmas holidays. So far so good. I coiled my legs on Monday, my hips and trunk on… Continue reading

  • Good Problems to Have

    I’m writing from Williamsburg, Virginia, where I’m spending the winter holidays with my sister and her family and my parents. It’s a pleasure to be here. I love playing with my nephew, hanging out with my sister, getting into winding,… Continue reading

  • Plan Update…already

    Since yesterday, when I wrote about my current coiling plan, I’ve made a change. It seems that the Bartonella red-flag, pain in my feet upon waking, has become an almost daily occurrence. So I’ve changed it a little, to fight… Continue reading

  • Multi-infection approach

    If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I’m treating four infections at the same time. This is not how one, ideally, would use a coil machine or any other form of treatment. Treating multiple tick-borne infections means dealing… Continue reading

  • Coiling for Babesia

    After much deliberation, trial and error, slow progress, recurrent symptoms and new ideas, I finally have a full plan for ridding myself of Babesia. (For background, see Babesia Basics.) I started coiling for Babesia on March 19th, earlier this year.… Continue reading
