Coiling for Lyme

  • Detoxing daily

    Any time my primary focus is off my health, everything goes awry. Coiling takes a fair amount of time and scheduling, both the actual time on the machine and the time in between when the coil needs to cool. Detoxing… Continue reading

  • Shifting Herx Pattern

    Ever since I started taking diatomaceous earth, my Herxes have shifted. I still get headaches, but the rest of the cascade has gotten milder. Even the headaches aren’t as bad as they were this summer. Even still, I could feel… Continue reading

  • Massage Therapy

    I went to see a massage therapist yesterday. It was my first massage in two years. The previous ones generally left me in significant pain for a week or more, so I was reluctant to try again. This time, I… Continue reading

    Hurricane Irene is blowing my way. I’m not sure she’ll make it all the way to NYC (or Atlantic City, where I’ll be staying with some friends this weekend). But I can feel her effects already. Outside my body, I… Continue reading

  • Next experiment with Welchol

    A few days ago I was thinking about Welchol and headaches. It has worked for me to take it when a Lyme Herx headache is coming on. Usually, the headache gets stopped in its tracks and after a night’s sleep… Continue reading

  • Visiting my naturopath

    I saw my naturopath, Dr. Darin Ingels, on Saturday. He was astonished to see me walk in without a cane or limp. He was equally astonished that I drove myself there without my mother, who had accompanied me to every… Continue reading
