shifting gears in my treatment

[MichaelTampa]

For those interested, we are about to shift gears in my treatment. For the last few months, I have been close to done, but not done, and improvement has been very slow. LLMD concludes today this is not doing it, time to look for something else and try something else. We have been treating lyme and bartonella, going now to try to treat babesia. In a lot of ways it looks like I do not have babesia, but it's time to try something new and this was the first thing he wanted to try.

 

First a week of antifungals and then babesia treatment of clindamycin and malarone (come in pills with 250mg atovaquone and 100mg proguanil HCl). Burrascano's guidelines talk about dosing malarone that contains 750mg atovaquone twice per day, here starting with 250mg atovaqune twice per day. Curious what others have been using and body weights. I weigh 140.

 

A recent business trip to Las Vegas did set me back some, and I know the EMF exposure was big, and also needed to take much higher doses of the Byron White herbs for lyme and bartonella. Another theory for what is holding me back is the constant EMF exposure I get at work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, just gives the bugs too much growth to really do much to them. Who knows. Time to start thinking of what else to do. I might've thought we'd try different bartonella drugs, like levaquin or rifampin (currently had been taking factive).

 

Hoping I can make it through another trip with planes and hotels with wireless, as I am going to the Klinghardt lyme seminar in Seattle that starts May 6.

Ewww Weeeeee.... Babesia treatment but me into tail spin for a good 3 weeks = horrible, weeks 3 to 6 = better but exhausted.... just now having days better then ever. I wish you all the best with treatment. AND, I know you.... you know to manage the herx. Good luck.

 

I'll be very interest to know what you learn from the Klinghardt Seminar. Hopefully we get a few updates from Seattle when everything is fresh in your mind.

Wish you well on the Babesia treatment! Also, best wishes for the trip to Seattle and the seminar. It should be very interesting. E-mail me if you need anything while at the seminar as I live in the same town that it is being held (only 10 min. away).

 

Have you done any testing for mold? Just a thought since we have arrived at its' doorstep and ds has had little relief from other treatments for PANDAS/LYME so far. Just hope we are at the end of these new discoveries...

[MichaelTampa]

Amazing discovery just before dinner tonight. I use the Byron White herbals A-L (for borrelia), A-Bart (for bartonella), and have A-Bab (for babesia) on hand but rarely use it. I occasionally test for 1 drop of A-Bab, similar to Enula in terms of just 1 drop every few days here and there. (Testing refers to using my pendulum for "energy testing", asking what my body wants.) I assume it is just treating the few remains of worms/parasites that I have treated seriously in the past. Enula and A-Bab can generally treat worms/parasites, but also babesia, which is a blood parasite. But, besides when I took it out of the box, I haven't tested A-Bab for with meals, or higher amounts. So giving this babesia theory more of a serious look, I tested A-Bab for with dinner, 1 drop was noncommittal, 2 drops was no, but then 10 drops was strong yes and ultimate result was 13 drops. So, looks like doc is right, time to go after the babesia! (Normal dose for these Byron Whites is 15 drops twice a day, but you're supposed to work up slowly.)

 

Yes, I hear the babesia treatment can be brutal. My herxing has so far been very mild with the lyme and bartonella treatment. Maybe I will finally get to really experience the hubbub this time, who knows. Looks like I'll be starting with the serious Rx for babesia right at time of the seminar, we'll see how all that turns out! Having dealt with a lot of the lyme and bartonella and a week of the A-Bab should help a lot, I am thinking positively about that right now.

 

Really have very little in the way of babesia symptoms, just surprising he thought to try this, surprising that this would be it, but experience with A-Bab tonight makes me hopeful.

 

We have been doing things to improve the mold situation in our home before testing, doing the things we know we will do regardless. Since the tests are expensive, not going to test until we're done with that. Amazingly, with all the problems I had during the trip, slept on flat bed without acid reflux all 4 days, not at all like it is normally for me, normally getting acid reflux. While I was gone, we had our bathroom all cleaned up with a lot of moldy items (tub/tile/...) thrown out, and now this acid reflux isn't a problem at home either, so that really could have been mold related. This was the master bathroom, so it's relatively close to the bed. Getting tile to replace carpeting in bedroom tomorrow. Next up is new A/C ducts and clean the air conditioner unit itself. Lots of things to deal with!

 

Thanks for the offer Julia! Don't know what would come up, but nice to know someone might be there to help if I need it. Wendy, I'm trying to head in the direction of helping others locally, so will definitely be taking lots of notes and look forward to giving ya'all a good summary.

Good luck with your change. I hope it gets you the added boost you need. I haven't even tried to reduce EMF's yet since my life is so saturated, especially at work like you.

Best of luck Michael. Your story gives me such hope.

[lismom]

Does anyone wear the pendants that help reduce emf's? I would love to know whether they really work. Michael have you ever tried one?

I have tried a few over the years. The only one that has done anything for me is the one made by GiaWellness (formerly a different name, I think it was BioPro). They have several devices--pendant, something to plug in for the home or office, and a variety of "chips" for electronic devices. While I found them all helpful, the chips were just marginally helpful, not worth the money for me. The pendant and home harmonizer both have been and continue to be very helpful for me, the home harmonizer even more so than the pendant.

 

The GiaWellness stuff works on the principle of randomizing the EMF's that are around. This brand may or may not be the only one using this principle, but some other brands do use different principles--adding "good" energy, or trying to block the EMF's, and so on. I really had tried a number of them several years ago, I got to the conclusion none of them are helpful. But then when my employer installed wireless at work, I had a severe problem, and out of desperation ended up trying the GiaWellness, after seeing it at least works on a different principle than the others ones I tried, so it had a chance. For me, it has been a true life-saver (or, more precisely, job-saver, literally), as my sensitivities to these things have just been extremely high.

Michael- can you explain what the home harmonizer is?

Michael- can you explain what the home harmonizer is?

 

 

A home harmonizer is shaped roughly as a cylinder with about 1-inch diameter and 2.5 inch length, with two prongs at one end to plug into an electrical outlet. The company says it does not use electricity, rather it simply "randomizes" the EMF's which flow through the circuit, those making the EMF's generated by one's electrical system more friendly to humans. It is worth noting that AC electrical systems have electrical current constantly running through them, generating EMF's all the time, unless you switch the circuit breaker off. I believe the home harmonizer also randomizes other EMF's (including wireless signals) around wherever it is, although I do not know that for sure. I know someone from the company told me I can carry it with me and it is still working even unplugged, so I think it is still doing that, but probably not working as well with the electricity compared to when it is plugged in. The pendant does the same thing as the home harmonizer--randomizes the EMF's around where it is.

 

By the way, as good as the home harmonizer and pendant are for me, and I know both from experience and energy testing that it has been very important for me, I still benefit from turning off the circuit breaker in the bedroom while sleeping. (I plug the home harmonizer in the living room as that is a more central room. I forget how far they work, but I think they are said to work something like a 40-foot diameter in all dimensions from wherever they are plugged in.)

Thank you!

Michael You may know already but just in case- Dr Klinghardt's airplane travel protocol is one biopure garlic capsule every hour and one biopure salmon oil capsule the same dosing. I also use notatum quentans nose spray before and after travel. Dr Klinghardt also mentioned ( one of the studies done) that the oxygen saturation decreases nose to tail meaning its highest in the cockpit. Therefore sitting in the tail area is the worse thing you could do if you have multiple infections. He says on an average one will be exposed to 200 viruses and 2 to 3 bacterial organisms incl mycoplasma on an airplane. He has anti EMF silver coated undergarments he always wears in hotels and airplanes since he does so much of both. Mindboggling.

Have seen several threads in the past about EMFs and we use Earthcalm. It comes in three stages and it works wonderfully for us. We also added a second ground rod to our main electric panel so now its grounded to the water as per code ad two ground rods as well.Walking barefoot helps a TON. We also use the earthcalm pendant for DS with good results. We have NO wireless or cordless in the house. Had them removed and went low tech.

[MichaelTampa]

No Jodie, I was not aware of his protocol, thanks for sharing. I'll bring my garlic along and give that some thought during my trip, and try to get a good seat.

 

Notatum quentans, huh? Is this a health food store item? An herb? What is it supposed to do?

 

Interesting reading on the Earthcalm website, sounds similar to GiaWellness stuff, but may well be different principle. GiaWellness talks about randomizing the EMF's. I also have a Philip Stein watch which resonates earth's Schumann frequency. And here Earthcalm site talks about connecting to the earth's Schumann frequency. Definitely thinking about giving it a try as well, but puzzling to think about the combination of things. With all of these, I like that they are not trying to block frequencies. That may have its place, but blocking seems a difficult task for a small item, and then blocking the good frequencies could be a problem too.

[sptcmom]

Notate and Quentans are both powerful homeopathic remedies for antiviral and antimicrobial action. The spray is a combo remedy great for daily prophylaxis for children. Dosage varies and I determine with A.R.T. but for adults averaging it out is fine on a temporary basis.

Michael, have you written a chronicle of your treatments anywhere? You seem to have done & tried so much & acquired so much knowledge - that would be a history I'm sure many of us would value!
