  • Hungry

    Last week, I read an article in the New York Times Sunday Magazine about the low fat, high carbohydrate diet. In “Is Sugar Toxic?“, Gary Taubes looked critically at the evidence that was available in the 1980s when we all… Continue reading

  • Reading Tea Leaves

    My little experiment with coiling for Babesia to end a bout of fatigue was partially successful. I had enough energy to get moving this morning and go for a walk by 1pm. The success did not last the full day,… Continue reading

  • Don’t feed the beasts

    If you’ve been following along for a few days, you’ll know that I have a pretty extensive list of foods I don’t eat, and won’t until I’m infection free. Prior to the Lyme saga, I was a vegetarian and had… Continue reading

    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

  • 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

  • Stones and bumps

    That title could easily be referring to the conditions of the roads in New York as the snow has melted and left behind a mess for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Alas, it is not. Kidney Stone follow-up I went to… Continue reading
