I almost died from Lyme but found a doctor after I had given up who understood much about Lyme. He diagnosed me as having Wilson's Syndrome. My body temp was 92 degrees! My pH (body toxicity) was under 5. I was acidic to the extreme. Metabolism had almost stopped which caused my body to retain toxins but not keep good nutrients in my cells. The trillions of cells in my body were almost pure acid. ALL because of Lyme!
By taking thyroid T3 medication my temp quickly returned to 98.6 and my metabolism began to detox my body but it took over three months to move my pH up above 6.5. I felt sooo much better! I was then half way home (from Lyme).
Then my brilliant LLMD discovered Lyme causes gluten intolerance. Ingesting gluten is a vicious circle. I cut out all gluten (white bread etc.) and felt MUCH better within two days! Have lost 40 pounds in three months and feel like my Lyme is almost gone. A year ago I couldn't get out of bed. Now I again have energy, stamina - amazing!
So there is hope until you die. Take your body temp and if it is low you just read the journey I took. Repeat it and you may recover as I did. I've learned so much - like pure cilantro can remove heavy metal poisoning. I now test metal-free where I was off the charts two years ago. Do not feel better from it as the metals had burrowed deep into my organs no longer causing problems. But good to get rid of the metal regardless.
I've discovered dozens of other minor things that also help but restoring body temp and eliminating ALL gluten were the two that restored 99% of my health. STILL have full-blown Lyme but much like HIV positive person who tests at zero but still has AIDS. I still need to rest and avoid germs as my auto-immune system is still almost gone due to Lyme.
