  • Back to Basics

    In my last blog, I talked about viruses. It was part of a side trip I took on my journey towards wellness. Although I sometimes think I have another infection, or several, that contributes to my symptoms, I learned once… Continue reading

  • Virus Hunter

    I’ve learned a lot over the past two weeks. I started with the kind of despair that I often get with a Bartonella herx (though I didn’t realize what it was until it was over), which led me to reconsider… Continue reading

    There are some lessons to learn over and over again. Each year for the past three years, I’ve tried to figure out how to coil for Bartonella in the most effective way possible. Each year I’ve come to a similar… Continue reading
