Living in the Country with Lyme Disease Carrying Ticks

It's hard to ignore the threat of Lyme Disease when 5 out of 6 of your dogs have been diagnosed with it. Antibiotics are the main treatment and even I have been through 3 courses of antibiotics for Lyme Disease. When you and those you love suffer or are always threatened by a disease, you get educated as fast as you can. You want answers. How did you get Lyme Disease? Could have I prevented it? Are antibiotics the answer? Is there such a thing as Chronic Lyme Disease? What happens if it goes untreated? Is there any alternative to antibiotics?

Getting answers is not always easy but thank God we now have the resources of the Internet. I have spent years of research to find out some answers. What I have learned is you are very lucky if you spotted a small tick on your body, see the telltale halo rash, and then showed flu-like symptom 2-3 weeks later. Guess what, you probably have Lyme and should go to your doctor immediately. Then if you are lucky, your doctor will perscribe the correct type and course of antibiotics and that will be the end of the disease in your body.

But what if you miss a step? This easily can happen if the tick falls off before you see it. It can happen if you do not have a telltale rash - only 30-40% of victims see a rash - you may still have flu-like symptoms but without the other identifiers you probably will pass them off to the common cold.

Now you have this parasite called a Borrellia living and breeding in your body and eventually it will leave your bloodstream and entrench in you tissue where no blood test can confirm you have it. Without a confirmation the doctors cannot perscribe antibiotics. You are basically stuck in a catch 22.

Research was my only hope. Weeks on the Internet led me to a natural regieme called C-Salt which is a combination of Vitamin C and Sea Salt. The basic premise is that you change the Ph in your body to a level that is hostile and even deadly to the Borrilia. It takes a long time are there are certain people who should not use it because of pre-existing medical conditions so get informed and check with your doctor before you start.

It takes a long time for a successful outcome. My improvement has taken over a year. During the new diet program you can have some pretty ugly episodes where researchers theorize that the dying Borillia are releasing their toxins as they die. The whole process takes a lot of patience. Quality Sea Salt and vitamin is important so check out the source I used by clicking on the banner below.






I hope you experience the same success I have. Good health and long life!

Living With Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy is a life changing condition that threatens your ability to fully function as time goes by. Living with Peripheral Neuropathy has meant vicious leg cramps, locked feet that refuse to come out of the taut position, and getting a handicapped sign for those days you go shopping on hard surfaces and can't walk after 20 minutes.

I've sought answers from the health world's experts and been on a merry -go-round for over 5 years. Most of that was just to find out what was wrong with me. Finally a trip to John's Hopkins gave me the answer through a skin punch test. It confirmed that the outer layers of the small nervous system in my legs was going away. Why? I haven't found the answer to that question yet. It is somewhat of a coincedence that my father had the same symptoms at the same age as me but I will never know if there is a connection because there is no DNA to test.

Anyway, we all try things to make ourselves more comfortable. My strategies have been to lose weight, get injections in my lower back where I have bad disks and one disk is missing, and sleep on a soft air mattress. The back injections have given me my life back. I am active all day again instead of laying in bed in pain most of the day. This is the first year I have planted a garden and things are growing fast with all our rain.

I'm too young to let this condition slow me down so I'm determined to get to my peak performance every day. The air mattress is a big help. It gives soft support to my back, and the best part, it came with a heated mattress pad, kind of like an electric blanket under you, which helps so much in cold weather when I can't get my legs to warm up.

My neurologist at Johns Hopkins said I was the first patient to ever come to her who had figured it out before seeing her. She said they recommend air mattresses to all their patients. You can get them through many places like Internet stores or local stores. The Mattresses are sold in many versions; King, Queen, twin, platform, etc. They even make Aerobed brand chairs.

I hope my sharing has helped you. We all need to stick together and hopefully we can improve the quality of our lives when we share what has worked for us.
