Coiling for Lyme

  • Thoughts on Homeopathy

    Right about the time I got diagnosed with Lyme disease (and the rest of the trio), my doctor sent me to a naturopath in Connecticut to get tested for pesticide exposure. I was definitely exposed to a lot of pesticides… Continue reading

  • Seeing through the third eye

    My current favorite yoga instructor has a problem with his left eye. It’s visible to people who see him that there’s a problem. The first time I met him, he asked if there was anything he needed to know about… Continue reading

  • Juggling

    So far, the thing I like best about the coil is that I’m getting my body back. I walk better. I have more stamina. I can focus more often. These things are a big deal after what I’ve been going… Continue reading

  • Gonna make you sweat

    Last night and this morning turned into a big exploration of the effects of the BioMat. I slept on it for the first part of the night on the lowest setting. I did that because my upper back felt cold.… Continue reading

  • Psyllium husks

    I was reading up on psyllium husks yesterday. I’ve used them for intense Herxes associated with antibiotics when the Herxes gave me diarrhea. I would take it at night. The next day, it would be better in the morning. Then… Continue reading

  • A Herx by any other name

    I was thinking about the different Herxes, or at least the different ways my body reacts to big microbial die-offs. I’m sure some of them are not technically Herxes. From what I’ve read, Herxes are characterized by headaches, fever, chills,… Continue reading

  • Babesia trial

    Last night, I coiled for Babesia for the first time…in a place where it could cause a Herx. (I tried before on my hands.) I didn’t feel much last night. I slept soundly, which I needed after yesterday’s excitement. I… Continue reading

  • Auntie

    Today started very early (3:50 am) with the wonderful news that my sister delivered a healthy baby boy. I’ve been ecstatic all day. As I sleepily type this post, I can feel a touch of regret that I haven’t completely… Continue reading

  • Stinky

    Here’s something I never thought I’d share with anyone (except maybe my sister): Detoxing makes my sweat stink really badly. This isn’t an everyday phenomenon. It occurs when something is really on its way out. Today stank–speaking of my armpits.… Continue reading
