Alternative Treatment Plan

Over the past year I have been treated for Lyme Borreliosis primarily with antibiotics. There is so much information and controversy over treating Lyme with antibiotics; I will need to write a separate post for this. What I found is that IV antibiotics helped in getting the Lyme "under control" for me. They made life livable, but they do not kill the Lyme.

For about 4 months after finishing my antibiotics I felt pretty good and had very limited symptoms. When I did have symptoms, I could rebound fairly quickly. At the beginning of the year I started to exercise, something I had not been able to do for months! I began to do hot yoga with infrared heat see previous post for more information. Then I started regressing. My neurological symptoms began to increase and it started taking me several days to regain strength and never quite fully gained.

I knew that I did not want to go back on antibiotics if at all possible. My gut was torn up and I didn't think my stomach could handle much more. Finally, I spoke with a doctor who has a holistic Lyme treatment approach.

I am so blessed to have an aunt, Laura Belg-Adams, who is a Certified Microscopist and has started me on essential oils. She has given so many of my oils and supplements just because she is awesome. Essential Oils and their healing properties have been used for centuries and are written about in the bible.

Last week I visited a Chinese Herb Specialist whom my doctor told me I needed to see. She has started me on a protocol she follows using various Chinese Herbs. An important note here is various. Lyme is sneaky and hides. This is why it is important to treat with one herb and then change it up and treat with another. The Specialist also recommended that I start an essential oil Lyme Therapy by doTerra. It calls for 3 drops each in an empty gel capsule: Oregano, Clove, Thyme, Cassia, and Melissa. These should be taken twice a day for a minimum of 10-14 days and recommended to continue for 2 months after symptoms have subsided.
**Please note it is very important to use Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) oils when taking orally!!!


Essential Oils and Chinese Herbs aren't the only things that are apart of the alternative treatments I am doing. My doctor also wanted me to start treatments on with a machine called ONDAMED. This is a machine that helps diagnosis what is going on in your body by reading its electromagnetic waves. Here is a video about how it works (it will explain much better than me)!

I am also taking vitamins that I was low in, fish oil, and probiotics. Please know that I had all of these things approved by a doctor who did lots of testing on me and made sure nothing would interact with my current medications. I feel strongly this is VERY important (even the oils) if you are on any other medications. Count on me to let you know how I progress as my treatments continue.
