Landmark day....I helped move a desk the other day, without thinking about it!! It wasn't a huge desk, but my son was moving it, and I jumped in to help! I started to pick it up, and thought, "Whoa, that's a little heavy...." But I did it, and it and I didn't feel faint afterward, or anything! My strength is returning, even if stamina is slower....
I am also getting much closer to driving! I haven't had any feelings of dizziness or anything at all. I am getting stronger and stronger. In fact, I would have driven already, except that my littlest guy said I couldn't.:) And it didn't work out, anyway. I was going to drive myself yesterday, but I had a really tired day, and want to be completely at my prime, since I haven't driven in so long. I am very cautious, anyway!
I had a visit with my doctor yesterday.....it went well and confirmed what I had been thinking....The Lyme isn't all the way gone, but I am doing much better! I got some new supplemental supports, which is good. He also confirmed that the yeast is all gone.:)
Spring is killing me! I want to be outside doing something! Soon....

Rife for Dogs
Well, I decided to do Rife for the dogs! Our Monkey (his name) has had terrible diarrhea. He also was going for a day or two at a time without eating, and looked kind of puny. We knew that he was bit by a tick and had a Lyme rash, when I was really sick...but I was fighting for my life, at the time...we couldn't do anything about it. We also suspected parasites.
After spending $75 on wormer at the vet for one type of parasite, only, and not knowing what the trouble really was (it could have been the Lyme!), I decided to try muscle testing. I really didn't have much to lose, and I have been muscle testing for myself. (I go down my Rife manual list and just muscle test to see which frequencies to do--since there are probably a dozen for Lyme, alone, it helps to know which direction to go!) So I sat down with my list of frequencies and put my foot in contact with Monkey, and began to test. For those of you not familiar with what this might look like, I am just putting pressure on one of my arms, to see if there is resistance. When there is something positive (or present) the muscle stays strong. When there's something that doesn't ring true with the body, the muscle is weak. I have heard it compared to a lie detector test. It does take some practice, to be sure. Here I was, testing the dog!
Well, I am happy to say that my results seemed to be efficient. I was able to get definite responses, which helps me feel like they are more accurate. There would be a definite muscle weakness on some things, and strong on others. For instance, I was able to determine that there wasn't cancer involved, or ulcers. I tested things on a 1-10 level of priority for the body. Monkey definitely came up with several frequencies for Lyme as the body's priority, while our other dog didn't have any come up positive. (This makes sense, since she has had a Lyme vaccine, though she is due again.) Monkey also came up positive for a few parasites. Emmy Lou, our other dog, had mild cases of most of these same parasites. The only down side of muscle testing, is that you have to know what to test for. But at least I had a place to start, something to try! I tested that the diarrhea was from the parasite, not the Lyme---which was a relief, because if it had been from Lyme, it would have meant it had gone into his kidneys, liver, etc...a very bad sign. I decided to take care of the parasites, first, since they can spread to us, and also, because I would need to bring them inside to do the Rife. Also, the parasites seemed like a quicker fix that the Lyme.
Now what to do? I called up a lady I knew that used her Rife for her horses, and she was really helpful! I have a BCX Ultra Rife machine. We use the glass wands for us, but for the dogs, I just used the metal ones that came with our set. The dogs never touched the machine itself, just the metal wands. At my friend's recommendation, I didn't use the foot plates. I just held the metal wands on the dogs, and made them lay down. One dog was jumpy, but they did okay. And I didn't have to worry about cleaning all of the same equipment that I use for us! It also made me feel good that I was kind of getting a mini treatment myself, for the parasite, just in case. I am happy to report that Monkey's diarrhea was gone this morning (I did the Rife last night), and his little eyes seemed bright! Since he seems like he is doing well, I think I will work on another parasite tonight. It's tricky to get them to sit still for very long, so I had to break it up. Plus, I didn't want him to get horribly sick from the die-off! I did the lowest setting. I made sure to treat both dogs at once, since it is likely that the two could be passing things back and forth. It just seemed prudent. When I am finished working through the parasite settings, I will move on to Lyme, which is likely to take some time. But I do feel hopeful about it!

Wow, what a lot of changes this month!
I can't believe it was a month ago, Sunday, that I was having those seizure-y attacks. This time, I went to church, and such a difference! I was able to go, be awake, enjoy the potluck lunch and visit, get my own food....and I tried to take a nap, and couldn't fall asleep! That night and the next day, I could walk around without a problem. In fact, I am just getting around, so much better, in general!
I have been consistently doing Rife about once a week for the Lyme, and trying to sneak in a treatment for yeast once a week, too. The yeast came back, which kind of makes sense....I still hadn't been on probiotics, still hadn't rebuilt my system, after the antibiotics. I really felt a need to get that yeast under control, and I am happy to say that it's on the run! I also now have my probiotics, which will help tremendously! (I use Metagenics brand.) I had a thought.....I wonder if a lot of the "colds" I was getting were caused by yeast? I know that yeast can be a big issue, to be certain. But I haven't had those "bugs" since I got the yeast more under control. Interesting!
I can tell that I am getting stronger, because I am back to my old tricks of having some insomnia...or not being able to nap (my brain goes 90 miles per hour!). I really take it as a good sign, even though it's ideal to get rest!
It's time for another visit to my alternative doc to get the supplements "updated"...to see what my body needs for support and do more muscle testing. This is so helpful! I haven't been taking the supplements the last week or so, since they were mostly meant to be temporary...and it seems like your body wants a change in enzyme support, for instance, if it's needed. I can only imagine how much stronger I will feel, with nutritional support, back again.
Another interesting thing, that's come up: I have been made aware of the MTHFR gene factor, and I would like to get tested for that. A friend keeps urging me to do so...and I keep reading that so many of my fellow Lyme sufferers have a problem with this. I have had a lot of chronic sicknesses, over the years, and it would be interesting to know if this could be a cause, or not. The good news is that, if so, there are some simple supplements to help! Wouldn't that be a life-changer? Sometimes it's just nice to understand what's going on!
