  • Bucking the trends

    The average American needs to consume less calories, fat and salt. Or at least that’s what all the studies say. It might be true about the calories and salt. I’ve written about fat before, and I think that for a… Continue reading

  • 100 Days of Coiling

    Today is the hundredth day since I started coiling. I’m now coiling for 4 infections: Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia and Candida. Each infection causes as different kind of reaction, so I’ve worked out the coiling times and increased them accordingly. My… Continue reading

  • Grief

    Punky died today. It’s been an emotional week, knowing that he was near his last bit of life. Today I held him while he died. It was rough. It might have been more efficient to have him put to sleep,… Continue reading

  • The Long Run

    Lyme disease requires a tremendous amount of patience. When I first got sick, it was my crisis.  For a while, I was the recipient of a lot of attention. Then life happens to everyone else while I’m stuck on the… Continue reading

  • Trade off

    I’m starting to think that all the fatigue over the years was from Babesia. I tried coiling extra last night. It worked like a charm. I’m setting a new course to coil daily for Babesia and to increase the length… Continue reading
