Coiling for Lyme

symptoms

Symptoms that occur during the coiling process.

  • Lyme Herx Sequence

    Since I’ve been coiling for a while now, I’ve been able to discern what my Lyme Herx progression looks like. Headaches (with lots of eye pain and light sensitivity the first day or two) Insomnia (lasts 1-4 nights starts with… Continue reading

  • Learning to be in charge

    One of the key things that I like about the coil machine is that it has forced me to take myself seriously as the person in charge of my healing program. No doctor can advise a person on how to… Continue reading
