WOW!

It slipped by me............

Anyway...It is no longer available (ICHT) but I always said I would report to you all good or bad.

To make a long story short.....

It worked.

I have my life, my family, my eyesight.

For those of you that went with me thru my first experience and cheered me on and for those that did not believe....

I made it.

I take no vitamis, no supplements, no test, NOTHING!

Since July of 2003 and thru the guidence of my pathologist (and others) I live a perfectly normal life.

I have a job promotion and I am a teacher for my company when I never thought I would even wind up with a job out of all of this.

This is an inspirational message to those of you that think life has passed you by and there is no way out.

Always think outside of the box, never give up!

THERE IS HOPE, ((((hug's)))) KAT

I took Doxy 100 mils a day in 50 mil increments twice a day for 7 weeks before my first ICHT. That is all I could take.

The herx was to severe.

After ICHT in Oct 2002 I started, in Jan 2003, amoxicillin & tetracycline cocktails and I believe later he added Bixan.

I did not take it daily as I could not function and work. Some days I took it some I did not. Many times I went for weeks without using any abx.

I quickly went downhill in 6 months and re-did ICHT a second time July 2003.

The reason my LLMD put me back on abx was, I had what he thought was clotting issues from die off (later found out it was Candida) and wanted to get any left over bacteria & not reabsorb.

Since July 2003 I stopped all abx & since March 2004 after my second Bradford Viewing I stopped all vit's & enzymes in mass doses.

I took vit's only on occasion. And take none now.

No relapses for 16 months and counting.

T.P.

9-10 months I believe when I noticed symptoms. By the end of those months I was a zombie.

GiGi, yes, it is great. Miracles do happen and I wear a smile everyday. You are one of those that I paid close attention to and appreciated the help.

Thank you to both, it is nice to hear from those that have been around for awhile.

Hi Kat....we were talking about babs awhile back. Did you take anything for that or was it unnecessary??

Glad you're feeling good.

Charlie
