Coiling for Lyme

using the coil machine

  • Calibration

    Last time, I wrote about starting serrapeptase, a biofilm dissolver and cyst-buster, to my coiling regimen. It was starting to get to me back then. Taking serrapeptase is like kicking a hornets’ nest. Apparently I learned this the first time… Continue reading

  • Location, Location, Location

    Over the past two weeks, I’ve been taking serrapeptase to break up biofilms of the various chronic infections and to break open the Lyme cysts. Predictably, this has shaken things up. I’m more symptomatic, though the symptoms keep shifting. The… Continue reading

  • Avoidance

    Something happens when you have a chronic illness. The illness itself wears you down. With a relapsing illness, like the tick-borne infections I carry, the relapses wear you down even more. I’ve been struggling with being worn out for months… Continue reading

    From November 2016 to April 2018, I was on antibiotics. I learned a lot from the experience. Among other things, I found that the Babesia infection never went into remission. With active Babesia, I find it very difficult to use… Continue reading

    It’s been over a month since I stopped the Alfons Ven remedies. I had a plan, once I stopped, to see a doctor and go on antibiotics for a while. I had a plan, you see, because I’m as well… Continue reading

  • Lyme Ideology

    I am in a moment of transition. I promised myself that I would only use the coil machine for five years. It wasn’t a random number. Someone told me that I’d be “better,” as in “free of tick-borne infections” if… Continue reading

  • Long Term Consequences

    Last week, I donated blood to a research study. Despite all my frustrations with antibiotics and traditional medicine, I want to participate in finding a cure for chronic Lyme Disease and other tick-borne infections. The study is at Stanford University,… Continue reading
