These things ARE making a difference!

Dear Friends,

In my quest to find health for my daughter I have stumbled across a few things.  I want to share them with you as they might also be a blessing in your quest for health.  The first site I stumbled upon is the water cure.  It is full of information and testimonies about how drinking water and adding good salt to your life might just make a huge difference.  Here is that site:

http://www.watercure.com/  this is from the Dr who wrote a book on this subject.

http://watercure2.org/  This is a great site w/ tons of info!!  Scroll down to the bottom and hit the testimony page...and be blown away!

The second thing I stumbled on to was Magnesium Oil.  In talking on the phone w/ the owners of the following site I learned so much!  We are mag. deficient because of the mineral deficiency in our soil and our high stress life.  You can not get enough mag. orally to overcome this because it will irritate you digestive system and give you diarrhea. Every cell in our bodies need Mag.  When it does not have it..out of desperation it will pull calcium (which belongs outside the cell) into the cell as a life saving thing.  This makes the cell tight..think compressed (almost dehydrated)  Our bodies use Mag all the time but esp. when there is stress..both physical and mental.  Think of what happens when you are stressed and you shoulder and neck muscles get tight..this is the cells in this tissue using all their Mag and replacing it w/ calcium! Now when you couple this knowledge w/ the Water Cure and how most of us are dehydrated..our cells are under a lot of stress and can not function at the optimum!!  Adding water, good salt and Mag oi...very simple can make a huge difference in how our body functions!!  We won't have as much pain.  We will increase our immune systems!  Our body will work and overcome many sickness!!

The following site is in my opinion the best source for Mag. Oil.  I talked to the owners at length on the phone.  They are truly a blessing and want to be a blessing.  You can order from them directly.  They ship out same day and in many cases you will get it w/in 2-3 days!  But if you are local to me I can now order at whole sale prices...which is quite a bit cheaper! 

I have known for years that magnesium greatly helps with learning disabilities... dyslexia, ADD, ADHD (and so on), hyperactivity...just about anything with the brain.  I added this because so many I know have children and home school!

Speaking of pricing.  There are many other companies out there..all different prices..some cheaper..some much more expensive.  This company tests all the Mag oil for impurities..their product is so pure they sell to Dr's who use this in IV's.  Most of their customers are Dr's.  We can get mag oil from a local health food store..they sell it for $65 for 32 oz...which will last you a long time.  But with Health and Wisdom you can get a Gallon for $75 w/ shipping!  Through me you can get it for $65 for the gallon.

Here is the site..the first link is the main page..the second is testimonies.

We also "stumbled" upon something called ozinol.  We had a dear friend buy this for us.  It is a HUGE blessing and it is working wonderfully!  I will try to explain but if you are interested I will send links that will also help you.  Ozone by itself will be toxic to breath.  But back before antibiotics they discovered that ozone kills pathogens...mold, bacteria, viruses..but they did not know how to get into the body.  Someone discovered if they ran the ozone into a defuser and they had tea tree or eucalyptus oil a person could handle the ozone.  (it does something VERY scientific and has to do w/ chemistry...not my thing so this is where you need to read and study for yourself!)  What happens when you breath in the ozone/tea tree oil (ozinol) is it goes right into your blood.  The ozone then gets to work attacking all the pathogens in your body.  This has been used for cancer, aids, and we are using it for lyme with excellent results!!  It is killing the bugs!!  If you do the research on this and look up the historical info on it..it will blow you away!  Like I said, I feel very blessed to have this machine in my home!!  You can also talk to Tom at the site below.  He is a great guy!  And very smart.  He really is a blessing and he is redeamed!!  HalleluYah!

I hope all this info. does not overwhelm you but blesses you!  If you or a loved one is sick please send this to them.
Blessings and love to all!!

We have had several good days in a row!

I am so very thankful for the past few days!  Rachel had been feeling much better.  It was like going off roading in the Rocky Mountains...very rough terrain before teasel...and now it is like a paved road w/ an occasional pot hole and the occasional rough spot...but nothing that we have not been able to get around!  For this I am very thankful.  She is still have her memory glitches..and some random pain..mostly in her lower  back.  But like I said we are managing!  Thank you for your prayers!

Oct. 21st, 2010 Up is down and Down is up

Hello,
Today has been a good day yet it has had it's challenges.  Rachel has now been on Flagle for 4 days now.  She has had stomach issues again but not as bad as before..thank you teasel!  The big thing is her brain.  She is lost most of the time.  She does not remember so many little things.  She has forgotten how to tie.  It is like it is just too complicated for her!  I am trying to praise YHVH (God) through this because I know this is a symptom of the die off of the bad bacteria!  Praise Him for the die off!
Thank you for reading my posts!
Blessings,
Cathy

What to do next...

So we have a diagnosis and Rachel is on antibiotics but only for a very limited time.  All the lyme groups and the movie "Under Our Skin" showed people on antibiotics for years.  People die from this.  This is my daughter.  I know others are sick in my family but if I get them tested the chances are that it will come back negative.  I really don't like antibiotics.  I teach a class called Healthy Living Support.  (I teach on getting the gut back in order after you have had the pharmaceuticals..and eating raw)  Is there anything out there that is natural?  There were a hundred and one different things floating through my mind.  I was stressed and feeling the pressure to somehow in a short time find the cure for lyme so that my family may live!  By this time, as I study, I am convinced that many if not all in our family of 9 have lyme.  So now I need to beat the clock.  This was all the beginning of my lymeland experience.  Hi, welcome to lymeland.  It is the place where there seems to be no answers and everything is crazy and upside down and inside out!

Thankfully, the voice of reason came into the picture.  My friend who also has the daughter who has lyme had found a Lyme Litterate Medical Doctor (LLMD) in Nashville area.  I called.  They take my insurance.  We go.  He treats aggressively.  I really like him...and that says a lot!  He does natural as well as antibiotics.  He puts her on 4 antibiotics.  Three she takes for three weeks.  Zithromax, Amox., and Rifampin.  Then she stops these for 3 weeks and starts Flagil for 3 weeks.  Then back on the first 3...and on it goes.  At least we had a plan.

I knew from reading that things could get worse before they got better but nothing, I mean nothing that I read or watched could have  prepared me for what was happening to my daughter.  It was not an over night thing.  It was gradual.  One moment her head would hurt really bad.  The next her big toes.  The pains would move around.  Sleep started getting weird.  She would often be up at 3 am.  She was exhausted.  She was tired before..but nothing like this.  She was taking many naps all through out the day.  We finished the 3 weeks.  We survived the first chapter.

Then it was Flagil's turn to reek havoc in my child.  It did not take long.  She took her first dose at night.  By the next morning she was throwing up.  ~time for a side note here...when the lyme bacteria is dieing off it causes what is called a Herx reaction..the lyme patient will actually feel worse as the little buggars are dieing off!~ The throwing up went on for 3 days...but then something new started to happen.  Rachel started forgetting everything!  She could not remember that she had watched a movie.  Reading became impossible and so was math.  Cooking, something she loved, was just too complicated.  Seeing her throw up and not feel well was hard..but seeing her loose her sharp mind that was terrible!  I made a call to the Doctor.  He took her off of all meds.  Said at this time she is too sick for them.  Keep her off for one week and give her body a break.  Then start her back on just Amox.  So we did, thinking that would really help her but it didn't.  She just continued to throw up and her mind just kept slipping.

Finally on a Sat. morning after she had thrown up for an hour and a half continually, I call the Doc again.  I was thinking we were headed to the ER.  He figured now the bacteria were just growing and running like crazy in her body.  But she was still too sick to take anything thought.  The next week was hell.  She cried.  I cried.  I could not fix my baby!  On the following Sat. a friend sent me Teasel tincture. (Thank you Colleen!  You were a life saver!!) She started w/ one drop.  That was at 11am.  By 3 I could see a difference in her...but I was afraid to say anything.  We had just been through the roughest 3 weeks of our lives!  By 5pm she was glowing.  Smiling.  Not hurting and not throwing up.  She still was having brain issues but it was so good to see her smile!

Teasel is being touted as a great herb for lyme.  But as with most things lyme what works for one will not work for another.  It is however relatively inexpensive so it is a great place to start!  My study shows that it really helps w/ pain and symptoms but it does not kill the bacteria.  She still needs something to kill the bacterial.

On Monday, Oct. 17 she said she wanted to go back on the antibiotics.  She needed to kill those guys in her body.  So that evening we started her on a 1/2 dose of the flagil.  We will work up to the real dose.  By the next day her tummy hurt but not like before.  She also started w/ random pains.  Today her brain was not here.  Hannah had moved to her own place last week.  This was a HUGE event in our house.  And very big to Rachel because she was getting her sisters room.  Today she could not remember why Hannah was not there.  She could not remember that yesterday she tore out the carpet in Hannah's room.  Today, my Rachel was lost in lyme land. 

I am very much trying to praise my Heavenly Father through this.  Today especially.  Knowing that her lack of memory is evidence that we are killing those bad lyme bacteria!  Oh, Lord, get us through this hard time!
