There is a group of 3 things that worked as a team for ME, in order of power, though one may not have worked without the other. I will tell everything I did, it is very lengthy.

Sorry if I CAPITALIZE, I am PASSIONATE and this comes off unfortunately as INTENSE (and I tend to give more information than warranted, sorry).

1)PROBIOTICS: Accepting that health begins in the GUT and disregarding all other mumbo-gumbo (antibiotcs, herbs, vitamins, supplements, which are things that alter the gut, specifically pH, in one way or another).

Life begins in the gut with our first dose of breast milk containing all the flora we will need for life.

Consider that lyme bacteria, meningitis, MRSA, etc are found inside the throat and body of healthy individuals all the time--

YES, swab healthy individuals in the throat and you will see this is true-- some develop sickness, others don't.

What's delegates that? The secret is the immune system, and the basis of that is the GUT. Some things supress the immune system, regard these: radiation, heavy metals, etc.

After doing antibiotics, which did take the edge off I will admit, but left the gut even more altered and vulnerable than before, I changed my diet and started MEGA DOSING (you cannot overdose) on probiotics. I used these:

HLC High Potency Capsules 60 caps (HLC12) - 2 with breakfast and 2 with lunch.

Flora 200-14 7 Day Intensive 7 Caps - 1 with dinner. Use beyond 7 days, you need trillions and trillions of good bacteria, not billions,

if you are to amp your system and fight this off.

DIET: An alkaline intestine from eating alkaline foods (coffee, stress, sugar, wheat, meats/dairy eaten w/o alkaline balancing, chemicals & pesticides, estrogen pills, this junk is not hard to find, it far outnumers the opposite!)

gives rise to an acidic body = bad for health in all major aspects, it proliferates bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and cancer and the majority of disease.

You want your intestines slightly acid by eating acidic foods AND alkaline foods in balance (most acidic foods except for white vinegar -

like lemons, limes, apple cider vinegar, fiber, bitter greens, mega-dosing on probiotics that produce short-chain fatty ACIDS)= slightly alkaline body.

So incorporate alkaline-producing (typically acidic-tasting foods) but DON'T go overboard and get too alkaline in the body because too alkaline aggrivates Lyme too,

especially Bartonella, which thrive in sectors of the body which become too alkaline via ammonia like the brain, liver, etc.

The balanace of acid-producing and alkaline-producing with a slight favor in alkaline-producing will produce a slightly alkaline body-- and this balance is what you want.

You will get in the groove and feel the ails at both ends and figure out the best balance by feel.

The best diet for Lyme, time-tested, tried and true - High fat, moderate protein, low carb, which alone is acidic, but with the incorporation of the above alkalinizing foods, tips you to slightly alkaline on the scale.

3)NUTRITIONAL BALANCING: A whole other realm of information that I will not list, but basically this is the foundation.

It chelates heavy metals and it kills off Lyme because it strenthens the immune system and with a strong immune system, you are IMMUNE to ANYTHING!

This is the woman I am working with and the nutritional balancing supplements from Endo-met Labs, which are vitamins & minerals, I take 3 times per day.

It has been more helpful than the Lyme protocol from ANY LLMD, in my experience, because it is a whole body program.

SO! This gets your system back on track. Bacteria come in and out of your life all the time, it is the body's immune response that will delegate if you are going to suffer with ANY disease or fight it off!!

This is verifyable by me, from being on the brink of death with Lyme and Bartonella for many, many years. Good luck.

My legs itch like crazy when I exercise, too. This only started happening after illness , for me. I actually feel worse after exercising. My sore muscles and joints act up for days, and the day after I am so tired, and generally, feel sick.

Those of you that say exercise, obviously aren't next to bed bound. So were you at one time and got better/or you never got so sick that you could hardly move?

Thanks, Nonna
