Insights Intro Lyme Disease Treatment by Connie Stransheim
Hi, It was an interesting book with 13 doctor's protocols to help Lyme. There is one doctor who allowed people to find their dose of things which I thought was good since they are inside their own body and know what helps/hurts.The doctors mention lots of anger people had who had Lyme. Lyme/coinfections is like having the flu nonstop for 2 years with fear and pain/suffering/hell. Adrenals are burned out and anger may mean the liver needs detoxing. The person maybe very weak/worn out/no sleep. To see others die who didn't get help or didn't know how to help themselves enough and took medicine nonstop that may have hurt their kidney/liver etc is sad. I know 2 people who got cancer due to Lyme and one died. Don't let Lyme treatment be like Chemo/radiation that destroy the person. Herbals help and give energy. Raising oxygen/pH/sunlight/exercise/energy/thyroid not suppressing always is needed. Medicine may lower ATP or coenzyme Q10 or thyroid or mitochondria or Mg. Some people died from heart attacks. They may have thought I need to feel bad before I feel good and need to Herx..never giving their body a rest and beating it down until they died. They may not have known enough to say something to the doctor that they needed a break, but still help which herbals can give.I don't believe in too many medicines at the same time. It may hurt the liver/kidneys. Low oxygen in the brain may cause depression/anxiety/obsessing panic/no sleep/suicidal thoughts. Drugs for sleep/pain/depression may hurt and not help. Things that help raise oxygen may help depression/sleep etc...exercise/no gluten/coenzyme Q10/Amour thyroid dose/Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot/coenzymated B vitamins/pulsing antibiotics/herbals and more. If a person needs to rest...lay there. Getting up before a person is ready may burn out adrenals even more. Eating small meals and protein before bed may help adrenals. Less sugar may help adrenals as blood sugar is more stable. Oregon grape root may help blood sugar level.I like Herbals the best since they give energy and don't hurt me. A L complex (affects hormones, but for me in a good way and helped heal my gut lining and may help cancer...has 11 herbs...is awesome), Artemisia and clove, Teasel, cryptolepis, garlic (has S and Se)/oil of oregano/monolaurin, Banderol and more helped me.I didn't like antibiotics except Minocycline/doxycycline. Minocycline went into the brain and helped me sleep for the first time in 30 years, but gave strange cognitive errors and dizziness. Bactrim hurt my heart, but I could take it with food. Antibiotics hurt my gut lining causing more leaky gut and temperature was like 93.3 or 95 often and precancer/clots when it lowered my thyroid/mitochondria. PQQ helped make more mitochondria. Antibiotics may poison mitochondria.Taking Mg citrate helped since Lyme and antibiotics lowered Mg. Antibiotics lowered good bacteria in my large intestines. Ultra Floral Critical care or Orthobiotic dairy free probiotic helped me...taken before food. Antibiotics can't be taken with food or Mg may block it. Antibiotics at night may not work since the Lyme is in cysts. 2 Serrapeptase at night may eat up cysts..taken once a week.Buffered Powder C hurt me...changed my pH fast which killed the microorganisms, but it went into my brain cells and didn't let me think well.Sunlight increasing Vit D/exercise increasing oxygen/organic food/good water/ Celiac diet helped me.Eating organic vegetables: onions/radishes/mushrooms/ scallions/cabbage/carrots etc. and some slow sugar fruit helped my pH/minerals. Gluten is wheat/barley/rye..oats may act like gluten with avenin...may lower the immune system/hurt intestines so less nutrients absorb. GMO corn may hurt the gut lining. Eating no gluten/dairy/soy/sugar/GMO...taking vitamins/good oils, LDN, detoxing helped me. LDN taken in the day (Taken at night it kept me awake, but it may work better at night) helped my immune system and block hidden gluten. LDN was awesome help. It is about $1 a day from a compounding pharmacy and helps the immune work right and helps block hidden gluten.Gluten maybe hidden in food in a box/bag/label/restaurant/nuts not in the shell/some spices/meat basting/certified gluten free may have 20ppm of gluten. Lotion and much more may have hidden gluten that may lower the immune system and nutrients absorbed/B vitamins etc. It took me 1 1/2 months to heal my gut lining from hidden gluten.Vit C, zinc, 2000mg of fish oil, 400mg of Mg citrate,Vit A10,000 IU, Vit D3 5000IU daily, rhodiola, coenzyme Q10 HCl and enzymes with food, probiotic far from stomach acid, Vit B12 methylcobalamin 2500mcg shot daily or spray/under the tongue kind/cream/intrinsic factor kind often and MTHF folate, coenzymate B vitamins far from synthetic kind, Nature's Plus- Source of life multiple and more helped me. 4 Sight by Orthomolecular helped my eyes. Valerian and Osteoprocare, probiotic, Vit B12 methylcobalamin shot helped my sleep.Gluten made antibodies to my thyroid so I take Synthroid (T4 only) and Amour thyroid (T4/T3/T2T1/calcitonin). Zinc/Se/enough iron/probiotic is needed to convert T4 to T3. Antibiotics/Lyme/heavy metals lowered my temperature/energy/mitochondria/thyroid so thyroid dose needed to be increased during those.Bioidentical hormones..estriol/progestrone/testosterone helped my circulation in my brain/sleep/thyroid medicine to work/energy/stiffness of skin/blood vessels/intestines/blood pressure etc. The bioidentical hormones were needed for survival.Hair tests show good minerals and heavy metals. Lyme/coinfections may lower Fe/Mn/Mg and more. Far Infrared Sauna may lower heavy metals. Far Infrared Sauna (130 degrees 30 minutes once a week. The Far Infrared Sauna may go 3 inches into the skin...kill Lyme/coinfections/yeast and detox them in the sweat. Drinking enough water before and after is needed and sea salt afterwards that has ~84 minerals in it. I use reverse osmosis water, not tap water that has F in it.Detoxing: EDTA/DMPS IV chelations may eat up cysts and remove heavy metals and S in it kill Lyme etc. I drink lots of distilled water during/after it and I don't eat before the IV chelations.Now brand- Detox support/organic sulfur/Vit C IV and glutathione push (helps increase white blood cells to kill Lyme with Vit C and detox and help connective tissue along with Si. Glutathione may lower free radicals which help in detoxing heavy metals and more.) 600mg of cilantro, chorella/spirulina/chorphyll, Far Infrared Sauna. Epsom salt/bath soda bath may help detox with S/Mg and help pH.Fermented food/coconut oil may help fight infections. Coconut oil clogged my blood vessels. Gluten free chocolate chips may help raise Mg and help constipation. Mg may help K get into cells. Vit C and Si may help connective tissues. Low sugar/starch may help not feed Lyme/coinfections.Squinting may mean low B vitamins. Microscopic gluten may lower B vitamins and other nutrients. Probiotics may multiply B vitamins so low probiotics may hurt. Probiotics may help T4 change to T3 for thyroid also.Yeast on tongue...oil of oregano or garlic and later dairy free probiotic may help. Onions have inulin which may cause yeast and sugar/starch may feed yeast. Antibiotics may increase yeast.Constipation: Low Mg due to Lyme and antibiotics lowering Mg. I took 400mg of Mg citrate which helps cramped muscles in my foot/back and constipation. Mg may help 350 chemical reactions in the body/brain. Mg may help K (potassium) get into cells and hydration. Chocolate may help constipation. Enough thyroid medicine, bioidentical hormones, raw walnuts (open shells to avoid hidden gluten and freeze) and then drink lemon juice in water, exercise, carrots/ pumpkin, Osteoprocare drink (Ca/Mg cofactors), probiotic may help constipation. Cyst busters may lower minerals and cause constipation. Taking them too often and too high a dose may hurt by removing too many minerals.Overdoing antibiotics or cysts busters may hurt. Too much plaquenil hurt my eyes as it removed minerals and I forgot to take my vitamins/good oils/minerals one night due to cognitive errors and eyes got hurt.Hobby to distract...dance/walk/music etc helped me. People who understand you are very sick. It may take 2 years to heal since it is hard to squeeze all in a protocol and food may block antibiotics.Prayer/friends and family/internet/books/Integrative doctor and more helped me.Books by Buhner/Waisbren/Dr. Kevin Conners/Singleton/Schaller and more are also good.http://www.people.com/article/avril-lavigne-lyme-disease-bedriddenIt was an interesting book with 13 doctor's protocols to help Lyme.

Thanks For Letting People Think
If you want to be told how to think, this is the wrong book. It is NOT for the thought police.It is also NOT for those trying to control who are the approved healers and physicians of people who are still ill.It is a buffet book. I like buffets, not because I like all foods the same, but I get to explore. When did intellectual exploration become a vice? If people are still ill after five years, with fatigue, disability, or personality troubles, perhaps it is time to rethink some things. Connie offers SOME ideas to ponder, with no expectation the reader will like any one position. She has no wish to control any reader. She is not afraid of diverse ideas. She is not a controller. I was not asked to change a single word in my submission.Connie does NOT presume to limit herself to any one treatment ideology, and so offers exposure to many people in this book.If you just want a set system, with double blind clinical control trials, you will not only miss some useful pearls, but you will be placing yourself outside of ALL HEALING. For example, most physicians use most medications in off label uses.[By the way, is this "real me" or not? Hardly simple and anyone can take any identity in five minutes--including the authors, mine or your name].Thank you Connie for your patience, and tolerance with my delays, and allowing me to offer some thoughts in your text.I know this was no fun. I know it was not done to make money. Since that would be "bad," but also unrealistic book economics. Thanks for your efforts.This is not a text for courts or medical boards. Because it was written for ill patients, she was able to offer highly diverse opinions. In the halls of deep academics, wide reflections, speculations, and opposing perspectives were always felt to add to debate and the search of truth and superior thought. When did that stop? It should never stop. And certainly do not feel obligated to eat every food at the buffet--that was not the goal here.Good luck in your search for healing.

Vast array of treatment options
This book was excellent, but overwhelming. Although there are similarities, each practitioner has their own approach to treatment. I was thinking, "Yikes, which one do I try?!" Personally, I'm not ready to go out and buy a bunch of expensive equipment and supplements and pay for expensive lab tests. For those suffering with lyme, I would consider a more simple approach. Get involved in lyme-rife discussion groups, chose a few basics, and go from there. For me, I've found vast improvement through use of good quality colloidal silver and a plasma rife machine (although random frequency generating rife machines from Jim Meissner appear to be a good option too). Daily walks help my body to mobilize and remove toxins and raw foods (primarily blended) have provided nutrients for my body to rebuild. Avoid dairy products, sugar, and refined grains.So, read this book to get ideas - lots of them, and good ones that work - but don't get overwhelmed with the options or try too many options at once. I would suggest you discuss options you are interested in with your Lyme Literate Medical Doctor and work with him/her on your treatments.
