Coiling for Lyme

  • Buddha Belly

    I’ve got a big Buddha belly today. Actually, this is day three of looking pregnant…again. It seems that as the Bartonella has flared up again, with all the symptoms I’ve been mentioning in the past several posts, the food sensitivities… Continue reading

  • Dis-joint-ed

    The last few days have been quite something. I had two fun adventures on Friday and Saturday, with excellent culinary components. I’ve been experimenting to figure out if Babesia is behind my relapsing fatigue. And I’ve been trying to handle… Continue reading

  • Microbes and Me

    I’ve been mulling over my gut microbiology for the last month. It is amazing what a difference it has made to eat a variety of live cultures in fermented foods. My favorite, so far, is fermented cabbage (aka sauerkraut). The… Continue reading

  • Accidental Control

  • How much to coil?

    This past week has been quite a trip. I had my sick days and more sick days. Only by Saturday did I feel more like a person than a week-long Halloween zombie. Smug I was feeling pretty bad the first… Continue reading

  • Vacillations

    I drive myself crazy when I’m not feeling well. Half the time, I’m happy, excited even, that all the coiling is causing an increase in symptoms. I’m sure that it’s working, killing off tons of bacteria and getting me closer… Continue reading
