When Dr. W tests for borrelia, he uses the Bicom, not the biotensor. The Bicom tests for frequencies. You hold a metal ball attached to a machine in one hand, he puts the nosodes on a plate on the machine and tests your other hand to see if the nosodes stress your system or not.
I was not tested with the biotensor at all when I was there.
Interestingly, I was tested with ART by another patient of Dr. W (you can guess who it was ). I have always used my own intuition on what will work for me .... there are supps I LOVE and ones I HATE or think are useless .... ART had the same findings I did regarding all the supps. There were no surprises.

Brussels and all,
When I repeated the word "gatekeeper", I was referring to the heavy metals as the ones who are there first to have contaminated our bioterrain. They are the door openers for everything else. Once the metals settle, fungi follows very quickly. Other environmental toxins find their way also. The invasion of microorganisms is then also set to take place. They love to live in the contaminated terrain where they are not disturbed by excessive and oxygenrich bloodflow, etc. etc.
Getting rid of all of it differs, I am certain for everybody. We store different toxins/emotional problems in different layers.
Dr. W. has discovered that he does not wipe out every bit in five treatments. He can't, that is my opinion, because the other toxins are in the way; the heavy metals are still everywhere. Some people still have toxic dental situations - another place where microorganisms love to hang out. He has found that by people being retested once a month for at least four months after the original treatment, he can catch if anything remained behind. For that reason, he also recommends that people be tested at least once a year.
Since the damage and neuro symptoms are so very much alike the neuro symptoms caused by the different infections, the metals have to be addressed somewhere. Testing always tells me which one has priority. Now, if I find anything with tensoring I treat all together - knowing that the load has been lowered.
I find with my tensor cord testing heavy metals, fungal residue, mold residue, bartonella residue etc in urin. I have not found borrelia residue because that treatment is several months old. But I will certainly keep testing for it.
All the toxin sources seem to live together, and moving one, will activate the other. That's what I think happened in my case. I never had a herxheimer that I could define as such. But I was always treated for the different metals and infections as they appeared in muscle testing or other energetic testing. It was always a sort of play of back and forth. One leaves, the other shows again.
But it is Dr. K.'s opinion that all starts with the heavy metals, often in childhood before we are born if Mom had mercury in her mouth, and the kids already arrive with fungus and starting into food allergies and other allergies early The problems became increasingly worse with more ticks, more spraying, more microwave towers that help a virus replicate like rabbits, etc.
Got to go.
Take care.

John, I enabled my PM's.
L. was very interested in the treatment since I was doing so much better. She said to keep doing what I'm doing and I don't need another appt unless I get worse again.
She does want me to do blood tests every other month since I'm on thyroid meds they've prescribed.
She said she wanted info on the treatment in case they want to recommend it to someone else.

Six, thanks for the info. I thought he used the biotensor...
If it is, it looks like the ancient Vega... Husband and I were tested for heavy metals with the Vega... It worked pretty well, but absolutely nothing different than muscle tests. Obviously.
I wonder if Bicom would be more sensitive than the biotensor. I suppose not, because it shall be closer to muscle tests, if this works like the old Vega.
The biotensor would get more than the physiological response than the machine, or am I mistaken?
The biotensor just doesn't look that professional, I agree.
The good advantage is that any machine is "theoretically" independent of the autonomic nervous system of the doctor who is testing!
Anyway, I'm curious to know why does he use this machine instead of the biotensor. The only reasons I can think of are the above mentioned, it looks more professional to convince the skeptics and it is independent from the ANS from the tester...
Anyone has any other idea?
----------------
Gigi, thanks again for the info. I guess it's a problem of way of expressing things (I didn't use the word gatekeeper as you did).
For me, I'm interested in how to get rid of heavy metals, and what blocks that release I called it a gatekeeper.
I do agree with you, that toxins play a big role on chronic diseases!!

HEY MOJOY GONGRATS!
Please list the names of all nosodes ( ampulles that you bought in Staufen -Pharma) so every body has them here rather than asking you personaly.I am trying to figure out a list of nosodes from Diferent places...for diferent disease.
BOY I need all the nosodes you got as I have the same thing TOO.( confirmed before with QXCI test/Frequensies on RIFE / BIOTENSOR and ART my LLMD).
I guess is a shorcut for you.Boy all of us bit have EBV, HHV6.Biofeed back test showes that my kids and I have it.Candida ( yeast -fungus)also.
Do you know if every person of the family need to have their own nosodes to test( I talked to somebody and told me YES).Just reconfirming is good to hear.
Wow I am so happy for you.NO kidding BIOTENSOR was the best thing that happened to me( it really saves you time and MONEY as GIGI said).
Thanks GIGI for sharing ALL of your exsperinces with US!!!!
Please mojoy list the names the way are written on your NOSODES.
( I also wrote to somebody that ART and BIOTENSOR showed that MY daughter has LYME and BART -while one of the best LLMD missed it and IGENEX had just one band .Personally I am done with labs /I will run only Cd 57 and that is it from now on)

Joey,
Congratulations & Celebration!!!
Your blog headline brought tears of joy to my eyes for you! And wow, EBV and HHV-6 eliminated as well!
I'm going in April, and want to get those nosodes as well...did you get them in Germany or before hand in the USA? Please list or PM me with advice on purchasing them and bringing them to Dr. W's.
You have a great story to tell the world! I love your style of writing, very entertaining as well. It would be great if you or someone from our lymenet community compiled the experiences of all those that have done the bionic treatment. Along with follow ups over time of continued health status.
i want to follow in your footsteps. i also would like to hear what/where nosodes you obtained. i'm all over them. biotensor, too- did you pick it up at dr w's??
i hope you continue to blast through the ailments. keep us informed.
best wishes
john

I know you tested negative for Lyme but I was curious if you felt better since starting treatment.

I'm not gonna list the names of the German nosodes I got here because the german gov't is closing in on their "over-the-counter" sale.
However, for those that are gonna go to Germany, PM me and I can give you the names of the pharmacies that I went to there.
My symptoms haven't changed significantly, but that was expected. As I've said before, I was one of the sicker patients that came and I still have a lot of work to do. This treatment works, but only on one thing at a time. HHV-6 is my biggest problem right now, and the fatigue and cognitive impairment won't go away with that, co-infections and heavy metals still swimming around.
anyone that plans to use this as evidence that the treatment doesn't work, go ahead and wear your tunnel vision. Very few if any of us Americans have "only" lyme.

Joey -- fabulous news and thanks for such a wonderful blog!
I'm trying to make some of the support groups aware of the blogs so they can get a feel for the treatment. There are hundreds of folks who still don't know of this treatment in my area. I just mentioned it to my support group about a couple of months ago.
All the blogs were such great stories. I think all of you did such a service not just for yourselfs but everyone who now have or may get lyme into the future. I for one salute and thankyou for those efforts.
On a separate note, I heard at the National Capitol Lyme Support Group, Dr. S. of Maryland talked of Dr. W.'s treatment and is now showing interest. So the LLMD's are becoming interested as well. So maybe there's hope practioners will get with the program and have devices here.

thanks everyone! Although I'm still fatigued, I do feel different. Maybe it's knowing that I don't have to take ABx anymore, maybe it's knowing that I'm finally getting somewhere, maybe it's the photons, maybe all of the above. Either way, it does look and feel like a new day.

Dr. Woitzel will not treat Americans for co-infections if you're gonna be there for a month. It takes 2.5 weeks alone just to treat lyme. Also, He doesn't carry other nosodes in his office because his focus is lyme. Europeans don't seem to have the number of co-infections that we have in the U.S., which is why the bionic treatment has reversed symptoms much more rapidly for German patients. Thus he hasn't needed to buy nosodes for those other infections. Also, don't forget he uses live vials of borrelia, not just nosodes alone, as part of his bread and butter treatment.

I just read Scott's and Joey's blog. You guys are amazing. You are still saying this is no miracle treatment but saying you don't have borrelia anymore?
A cold can cause fatigue, fungal infections do cause fatigue, herxes, blurred vision or brain fog...
You may not feel great, but sorry guys, NOT HAVING BORRELIA anymore SO FAST does look like a miracle to me !!!!
Have some pitty for us here, who have been fighting for so long, and stop saying this is not a miracle treatment. If not a miracle, IT IS PRETTY DAMM GOOD!
Congratulations to you guys!
Even if borrelia comes back, if you can make it dormant with a single photon treatment, guys, you got something better than gold in your hands.
Take a look at my post on Sanum treatment for fungi and yeast. Sanum is widely used in Germany against fungi and yeast, I'm also treating loads of tuberculosis and pneumonia remnants with Sanum (I NEVER had any lung symptoms either, like Joey, except for air hunger with babesia), this is an amazing fast and completely different way to treat these infections.
I hope you guys either join the candida-fungi war club and share what you find to treat these VERY persistent critters. Dr. K. suggests that getting rid of fungal and candida infections take about 9 months.
Congrats again, and thanks for having posted. Just come down to earth, look at us, poor borrelia sufferers with compassion and stop saying this is no miracle!

We do have coinfections. I had all of the ones dr. K. could test, and not only once, but every time a tick infected me, it NEVER had only borrelia.
So did my daughter. Multiple infections at EVERY SINGLE bite. She was infected in Belgium and in Switzerland. I was infected in Switzerland.
My lyme doctor in Switzerland says coinfections are extremely common. What is uncommon is to find someone suffering only from borreliosis.
Ricketsia for example, is very known in Belgium, even by the dummy doctors. So nope, Europeans do suffer from several coinfections. Even my cat suffered from mycoplasma.

What I find Europeans different is that they do eat better than you guys. Healthier I mean. I can't imagine Scott still drinking Diet Coke knowing he's got a chronic disease.
That sounds absurd to me. Or eating Burger King. I mean, my daughter doesn't know what is McDonalds or any fast food, and she's almost 5 years old. Never ingested a hamburger that was not home made.
I never bought a bottle of sparkling sodas since I fell sick, and I don't remember taking a glass of soda in the past 2 years.
Bad eating habits, yes, I think you guys have them much more than the average European. That could count on treatment being more difficult for you guys... Just a guess though.

Brussels,
In 3 weeks, there are no miracles. GiGi has also been very clear that many people with Lyme disease have much more than just Lyme. So a miracle would be you wake up and all your ails are gone and never return. Getting rid of Borrelia does not create that alone. There is more.
There is also debate about what the Lyme being "cured" really means. Is it that it is physically gone forever or just that it no longer harms us - no one knows for sure. So, whether or not our conventional doctors and conventional tests also show that Borrelia is gone still remains to be seen in the future. Whether or not we begin to feel better remains to be seen. I don't think anyone here would call it a miracle if they still feel the same.
I agree with you though that I feel very optimistic and grateful to have this tool. Dr. W is brilliant and I am continuing to treat at home and hope to see continued improvement. At some point, I'd like to be able to say it is truly a miracle.
However, to suggest that now and to have people running over to Germany selling their trucks and taking on loans, etc. would also be irresponsible of me. I am attempting to provide an accurate picture of my experience with the treatment so far.
BTW, I drank diet code a few times the days that I was there enjoying myself a bit as well. I have not prior to that had ONE diet coke in almost four years.

Scott, you forgot to add the process of getting well is to think you are well after being sick a good bit of time. Being sick is a condition our bodies get used to. I say have the diet coke and think it will do no harm is another way of saying, I don't have to be soooo careful. And test whether or not there is an adverse physical reaction.
The food you ate in Germany, did it have any adverse reactions to your body?
We get conditioned to believe we have to be gluten free. I had to, I don't have to anymore. In a matter fact I had a bakery sour cream donut today with no repercussions. We had a celebration at 11:00, so I had a piece of cake. Two cookies after lunch. Ok I ate well for my meals, but I'm not so careful. A sign of improvement from 4 month ago.
So yes that is more sugary stuff than I normally allow, but I feel I can handle it.

Cake? Cookies? Oh no!
I actually am usually very careful about sugar due to yeast issues while I was on antibiotics (no longer but still careful).
I ate tons of "backerie" products in Germany and loved every one of them. Now it is back to the US and a decision about whether or not to go back on my no-gluten diet. We will see....
I probably should have a diet coke and think about it. LOL Now that I am back, the diet cokes are gone. I do believe aspartame is bad for us and limiting exposure ideal.
Enjoy your cookie. I need to get off of here and grab a piece of chocolate...

it might just be easier to eliminate wheat but dabble with other glutens here and there...
wheat is a common major intolerance in humans. i think that it goes unnoticed too often. once i got off wheat, i tossed my advair discus ("preventative" for asthma), and my breathing became much better. once the healing had kicked in, i stopped using any rescue inhalers. i bought my last inhaler about 2 years ago and haven't taken it out of the box still.
another thing is to limit nightshades, but you all probably know that already. tough to do in germany with all those tater dishes.
i still eat gluten-free since i don't find it to be much of an issue to avoid it. even when i am all better i still might stay off it, but if i have to eat out, and let's say i order a stir fry that has soy sauce in it, well, that is just one meal and it won't kill me.
gluten sensitive is not the same as intolerant, which certainly isn't the same as celiac disease.
sorry for the brainstorm and topic change, sometimes once i start typing i cannot stop.

Let me just tell you here, I ate anything and everything (without preservatives and articifical colors and flavors) with gusto and got well just the same.
The stress of looking at diet books got to me after the first fifteen minutes.
I drank my coffee, lots of it - I consider it an anti-oxidant. I ate lots of fruit because God gives it to us. American bakery goods are a disgrace - but now the Germans are beginning to add as much sugar as is done here. So I bake my own.
I try to avoid stress. Run from it.
By the way, the combination of Bionic treatment plus the Allergie-Immun treatment www.allergie-immun.de combined with PK (solving unresolved conflicts) clears gluten and dairy allergies very nicely. Per Dr. K., gluten allergy often goes back to "Father" and dairy allergy originates often with "Mom". Thse are the conflicts that can be solved with PK (psychokinesiology = solving conflicts with muscle testing and talk - simplified) , a brainchild of Dr. K. The Allergie Immun website will have some English text soon, hopefully before the end of November.
We are ordering our AI test today for my husband. It is very easy and can be done long distance. It should really be called a sanitizing therapy test. It cleans up some of what we have collected during years of life and illness neglected by a burdened immune system, problems which would be very difficult to pinpoint any other way. A part of energy medicine.
Take care.

I also still eat fruit. Fruits are the 'cleansers', vegetables are the 'builders'. The only times I have gotten better have been with a raw vegan diet, which I'm slowly incorporating again, I have lost too much weight with the anxiety and am trying to gain a little before going full blown diet-wise. I do stay away from aspartame though, I think it's bad stuff. I think a little chocolate or whatever here and there won't hurt, there is a big difference between eating a few and then eating the full bag!
I'd rather eat a homemade chocolate chip cookie with organic ingredients than a rice a roni 'meal', those things are loaded with preservatives/chemicals.
posted
yes, you have to eat some fruit! i like apples. it's apple season here in ny. a typical snack can be apple and walnuts.
when i was last in germany, two years ago, i was already off glutens. but while there, i did eat gluten (just not wheat), and seemed to not have any issues with it. hey i wasn't going to not drink that great beer! i also ate lots of taters, wheat-free pretzels, and even pushed it and ate some vienna-style schintzel (coated in breading- i scraped it off but i am sure i ate some wheat residue).
being afraid of everything will only make you miss out on enjoying good things in life. yes, i avoid gluten at the time being. i don't have to, but i choose to for a good while longer. since i don't drink beer at the moment, and tend to eat primarily asian food, being gluten free isn't a problem. it helps to keep the guts clean for optimum performance.
i also agree that a vegan and raw diet can do wonders. but not when you are trying to gain weight! you can gain weight being vegetarian, though, yet i do feel that cheese should be added for the extra fats. i wish i could go raw/vegan, but i am finally back to my old weight, when i was vegetarian, and i need to keep it on. but i agree with ocean in that raw & vegan can in fact be great for healing from ailments. but dang is it expensive if you don't make your own!

John, I agree with you, doing the raw thing was the only thing that helped me, being sooooo sick for two years was the only reason I became a vegetarian in the first place. I did improve over a few months, being raw is hard and very expensive, you are right about that! After awhile though, I looked forward to the carrot juice in the am and sometimes even the barley grass (although I still plugged my nose!). I also added dulse the last time back in 2005 when I was getting well from my relapse that lasted 2003-2005, and I really think that helped.
I took dulse twice last week, then we all got either stomach 'flu' or food poisioning and I haven't taken it since. But my anxiety has been better, so maybe it was the dulse? I know it also can help with heavy metals and it's anti-parasitic, anti-bacterial, ect.
Yes, right now I am eating cheese, I made homemade chili (veggie with garlic, onions, red peppers, tomatoes, it was yummy!) and had cheese on it tonight. I'm also eating organic eggs, I know they have something in them that is supposed to be good for anxiety.
Gigi, My alternative MD is the same way, one of his employees is a vegan and the dr convinced him to start eating eggs. I just know that my Lyme improved when I went veg (not everyone is the same), I've never gotten back to that rock bottom I-have-to-lay-in-bed all day thing where I literally had to force my legs to move since and that's my story and I'm stickin to it
It's funny b/c when I was in the ER for a panic attack, I really wanted a CBC and e-lyte panel done and I knew the doc knew I was just panicking. I told him that I 'worried' that my e-lytes were off due to my being a vegetarian for 10 years. He ordered them, came back when they were in and said, "Well, you really can't argue nutritionally with these results, your hematocrit is about as high as you can get."
I would love to meet Dr. K though, I've read much of written articles online and I think he's a very intelligent doctor.

That is interesting about the psychological aspects of allergies, Gigi. One practitioner/friend I know and have a great deal of respect for also feels that there are strong emotional components to allergies and we did some desensitization for our daughter early on with NAET and also recently, as well as with another biofeedback system. I have a background in psychology and all of this resonated with me quite a bit.
In our case, however, the solution ultimately was found in clearing infections and toxins. We believe, after much research and investigations, that my daughter was a vaccine sensitive child in addition to getting LD passed to her in birth. And one thing that appears to be common with vaccine sensitive children is multiple food allergies from very early on. She was allergic to many other things as well, but, for whatever reason, it was only the wheat and dairy that needed to be excluded to stop her asthma attacks.
She is now able to eat some dairy and wheat without symptoms... dairy once a week, wheat a few times per week and is only halfway through her lyme protocol.
I had a very similar pattern... not able to eat anything until the infection was reduced, and now enjoying pizza (healthy pizza - viccolo cornmeal crust, organic cheese etc) once a week or so. And crepes!
But for the most part, for me, I like how I feel/look on a more disciplined diet and don't plan to change much. Not vegan, or vegetarian... but organic, fresh foods as much as possible with little carbs, dairy, sugars, caffeine, etc. I just love eating tomatos and avocados for breakfast, maybe with a little sauerkraut or a hard-boiled egg. I just feel great energy from it.
I know... very ahem... interesting.

Regarding vegan, vegetarian, raw foods diets... I wanted to add that I really wanted these diets to work for me and tried off and on for years, but always got too weak. I eventually found that I really needed some animal protein, though much less is required now. However, there are clearly people who do thrive on vegetarian diets, even in illness, and in fact, do progress on it. I think our diets are very individual in the end. We just have to see what works for us... maybe with some guidance from nutritionists and/or other health professionals.
Anyway... back to topic.

I completely agree Claire! Everyone's body is completely different, I know what I need by what I'm craving. I craved fruit yesterday, sometimes it's eggs, sometimes, beans (although I loooove beans, I could eat them anytime). We all need to do what we feel is the best to get well.

Our food supply is poisoned, contaminated, and leached of good nutrition. Even our organic food supply is poisoned, contaminated and often leached of good nutrition, though less so. I want a certified NOFA or California organic, not "Qai" an international certification I'm sure is corrupt and loosely using the term. If you get organic eggs you're still getting eggs from chickens cooped up with no space at all living disastrously awful lives given "organic" feed that is on the low side nutritionally.
If you can shop from your local farmers and from Amish farmers try to do so. You'll see the egg yolks are a bright rich orange-y yellow because they have so much good nutrition (Amish chickens get to have their coop moved daily, out in the sunlight, with fresh wild stuff to eat along with feed; their cows are not fed corn, but grass fed and get to graze or eat hay. Their chicken is unprocessed, even organic chicken may have less antibiotics but it is again, from chickens fed cheap organic feed, and cooped up, and then processed in sodium phosphate. Tastes awful compared to genuine Amish chicken---once you taste the real thing, you can't go back, organic tastes awful in comparison). The tomatoes from my Amish farmers are the best ever like tomatoes from my youth. Organic tomatoes are better than non, but they don't taste that good once you taste "real" tomatoes grown in rich soil naturally and just picked for you last week.
If you have a house, grow your own veggies in spring summer and fall.
In an apartment it's harder.
It's better to get local produce fresh from your farmer even with some pesticides, than commercial stuff.
Look at the color. Celery from local farmers at my greenmarket is always a nice bright green, and organic celery in the supermarket is pale.
Color is a big indication of whether something is really good for you. Organic egg yolks are yellow. Not orange like Amish egg yolks. At least the shells of organic eggs are strong. Non organic eggs have weak shells, showing they are even unhealthier.
Do the best you can...I learn new things daily. I barely eat anything from the supermarket anymore as it is poisoning us with sugar and salt to excess. Nothing in a package is without sugar and salt. I make my own beans, its easy. I just learned that raw cashews are not raw. They are boiled in oil. They just say raw because they're not roasted. There are apparently a few brands that are actually processed RAW.

O2, very good points.
I always think that the modern food industry is mainly responsible for many diseases (even including Lyme) that have been arising sharply.
When you eat a lot of junk food, you don't have a strong immune defense system against invading pathogens.

Yup, O2babe,
I agree! I get my eggs from one of my mom's students. I had her ask him what becomes of the hens when they stop laying. They let them live out the rest of their lives, they have a small farm, several acres, when my mom picks the eggs up, the chickens come to greet her =) We always had chickens growing up, one became one of my good friends, she came to me when called and she died in my arms, I miss her.
We want to move next spring summer to place with several acres, we only have 3/4 acre now, but lots of trees, so too shaded to grow much =(
I am lucky because we are in the middle of Amish/Mennonite country, I bought some gorgeous mums a few weeks ago from a Mennonite place for $2/each! I dread winter because I have no choice but to buy produce made in greenhouses, although we do have a fruit market down the road that sometimes has more fresh items.
Great points, I grew up on organic food, ate things like whole almonds and dried figs and almond butter sandwiches in my lunch, other students thought I was 'weird'. But it's kept me going thus far!
I have read that certified Organic by Oregon Tithe (I believe that is what it is called) is about the best you can get. I personally look for that certification when purchasing food.
Also, the reason that most 'raw' cashews aren't raw is because it is EXTREMELY difficult to get the toxic layer in between the shell and nut off without boiling. The truly raw cashews are expensive due to the laborious extraction process.
Also, California passed a law last Sept stating that almonds much be flash pasterized to ship, so almonds are not raw either now. However, you are allowing to buy and pick up the almonds from the almond grower themselves. I tried to do this before we moved back in Oct, but it was harvest week and they weren't going to be there.

Trying to buy organic even in Calif. can be tricky. One local farmer who I trust told me that the government just checks on paperwork when they drive out to inspect organic farms and some growers sadly lie about what they are growing because they can get more money when pretending it is organic.
I also heard on public radio that stores like Trader Joe's and Walmart will say something is organic like milk and it will be from a very questionable huge dairy that is not really organic.
When I was in Australia the produce was much better then the produce in the USA. I think parts of Australia have better soil that has not been over used yet.
I wish we had Amish farmers around here but at least we have many small farms and some serious organic farmers.

One thing I have considered but not had the time/space to do is, to dehydrate some of the summer produce I get and store it. But really I don't have much space...
I belong to an Amish farmer collective. I particularly use one farm and have had some nice conversations with my farmer over the phone.
I try to eat sardines (fresh!) whenever they are around, as they are small fish that don't get super polluted and have great Omega 3's and are cheap.
I'm sure I could do a lot better but the more I learn, the more I shift my eating habits. In the winter i tend to buy organic frozen blueberries and freeze up small bunches from the bag, and snack on limited amounts.
I have trouble with grains because of mycotoxins. I actually do better with plain old white rice.
I wish I could move to a more natural lifestyle and more self-sustaining.

Well, now the question is whether Bionic 880 is organic or a junk, full of artificial frequencies and preservatives. LOL.

Hey Scott, I though you drank Diet Coke so often, the first thing in my mind was: how the hell this guy spends so much money in treating lyme and still drink stuff with aspartame?
I'm glad to know that was not what you do daily!! Sorry for my comment, then! I just had that flash in my mind that bad eating habits could have been one reason for people not getting better from chronic diseases.
Certainly coinfections are not the main difference. Dr. K. himself got babesia and bart (if my memory is good on bart?) here in Europe, besides his borrelia. And that was a long time ago.
I agree too, everyone is different, but I do think there are some common things like excess of bad fried fats, artificial colorants, artificial flavorings, artificial conservants, etc being bad for any person or animal...
Thanks for explaining what you meant by the Bionic not being a 'miracle'. But I still feel it is! Borrelia for me is not my main issue now, but EVERY TIME it comes back, IT MAKES MY LIFE HELL.
So for me, only getting rid of the devil cycle of borrelia revival would be a miracle. Because so far, there's no other SINGLE treatment that that is able to do that.
I am at the point that most lyme sufferers want to achieve: remission. And I'm not happy with it, because when borrelia comes back, is as though it never left me, the spiralling downwards is so fast:
- multiple FOOD ALLERGIES, GI parasitism, viral infections, brain fog, GI problems, articulation pains, muscle pains, tinnitus, blurred eyes, fatigue, everything comes back and fast.
I do hope borrelia doesn't show up again for most of you guys, or if it shows, that it goes back to dormant with one or few sessions with the Bionic. If it doesn't come back for 6 months, this is already fantastic.
During lyme, I couldn't eat wheat, no milk derivates, not most of fruits, most grains, no sugar, even quite a lot of veggies caused me allergies. Lyme goes out, I can eat virtually everything again almost from next day when lyme goes dormant.
I see a clear relation between active borrelia and food allergies in my case. For me, the relation cause-effect is cristal clear. It happened so many times I can't doubt it (in my case).
Now I eat everything (except for a couple of fruits-veggies-cheese that still test allergic).
I agree that our problems are not only borrelia. But borrelia is a damm hard problem to erradicate, and it IS ONE OF OUR MAIN PROBLEMS.
So nothing changes my idea that this Bionic, if it works to put it to dormant forever (or eliminate it forever) is a wonder treatment.
I'm SURE I'll have LOADS of things to treat after borrelia. Who won't?
After all these tuberculosis and pneumonia nosodes testing one after another, now mucor racemosus again, aspergillus niger again, and so on, I know my war to be heatlhy won't end with borrelia.
But don't say it's not a miracle treatment, because when I think of people like the lady that just died from heart problems, I mean, this Bionic could have saved her.
I had a few heart symptoms, and I also feared for my life. So many other people here in this forum are in the same boat from this woman. Others with the brain totally being eaten alive.
Maybe not only from borrelia, but believe me, bartonella without borrelia is soooo much easier to deal with. My daugther caught bart twice, once with borrelia, another without. With borrelia, her whole treatment was a hell, it lasted 5 months of pure hell, bartonella was testing until the end togehter with borrelia.
Second bite, without borrelia, her bart disappeared with light homeopathics (like Apisinum or so) and the KMT a couple of times in a matter of few days.
Third bite again, without borrelia, the treatment was difficult because she caught TBE, but if she had caught borrelia, I believe she was not going to have left without permanent neurological damages. She left this strong viral infection without permanent problems.
Borrelia complicates the life and treatment to a scale of 10, in my experience. Without borrelia, we are still in the world of normal people treating diseases normally. And not needing to bomb all over and still feeling our healths are escaping through our fingers. --------------
I think it is a bit like cancer treatment. When the cancer is cut off, chemo or radiotherapy done, do you think the patient gets healthy after?
No way. The cause of cancer is not eliminated like that, but some patients have the chance to survive, at least, a bit longer, or for many years still. The guy that escaped cancer cannot be considered healthy after these 'normal' treatments, but so what?
When the cancer is there already, something radical has to be done, or your life may be lost forever. The knife is one alternative, then the 'bombings' another (chemio-radio), but if he wants to be really healthy, he'll have to change his lifestyle, do extensive detox, treat the innumerous pathogens that cause invisible sickeness, parasites,etc, EXACTLY LIKE a lyme patient.
If the Bionic does what is said to do, eliminate borrelia, I see it like a 'cancer' treatment, the radical treatment of knife-bombing. And it can save lives!
Of course this is too early to tell. We have to see how you guys will do in 6 months, 1 year and so on. I live close to dr. W. that for me I'm not betting all my economies on that.
I know what borrelia does to me when it comes. I know it in a cause-effect relation, as I said above. At least, I believe I know, because of energetic tests, all those symptoms appearing suddenly point borrelia. And I don't have anymore tick born coinfections to treat for quite some time. Even bart never really came back.
I feel borrelia can take my life fast if left untreated. My fungi-candida too, but it will take a VERY long time compared to borrelia.
Many people here don't think borrelia really kills. Or if it kills, it takes long time to do. I'm NOT in that group! That is why I'm looking forward to see dr.W!

My good friend Leslie Wermers died of Lyme on Nov 2, 2008. So I agree with you that this is a very serious disease and we have to treat seriously as well.
I hope you find Dr. W. to bring you some answers. He is brilliant. I am so glad that I went.

Selma, because you are already *so* intuitive and have done so much interesting good work on yourself with nosodes, herbs, and remedies, it will be very useful and interesting to me to hear your full report. Can you do a blog, too, when you're there?

Just finished reading the book 'The Hundred Year Lie: How Food and Medicine are Destroying Your Health' by Randall Fitzgerald. VERY eye opening. A must read, not to produce fear but rather to educate so you're able to make better decisions about what you put in your body.

When seeing Dr. W for the last of your sessions and he sees if you are lyme free, does he use his tool to find out what you may still be fighting?
IE, would he be able to tell you if you have viruses, co's, yeast...or whatever left or is that something one must figure out once returning to the States?
I'm understanding that getting rid of the lyme doesn't make you "all better" since we are carrying so many things with it, but in theory, I would think that by unloading the lyme, some of the other things may be easier to get rid of????????????
Also, is anyone hearing how far his new location will be from his current one and if the same guest house is still a viable option?
I'm still weighing this all out but chalking it up to a vacation in Germany so all the weight wouldn't be put on "curing lyme".
I lived in Germany two years as an Army wife, so going back has been something we have always discussed, so if you could take a vacation AND perhaps feel better, it would make a great dream and leave "hope".

The new location is close to the old one. The same guest house in Dobel will be fine.
As for other directions, this is an area that Dr. W in my opinion will evolve over time. He looks for Bb, Chlamydia, and FMSE. Beyond those, he does not test for much more with the Bicom - at least not for me and others I have talked with.
Several of us purchased nosodes of things we "thought" were issues for us and he was willing to test us for those items.
In 3 short weeks, it is hard for him to do more than the Borrelia and so it is limited to that for the most part.
He has a device which I have seen him use on a couple of people that did not feel that they had improved much. It apparently can get into other potential causes and infections.

So in getting the nosodes for Epstein Barr, HHV-6 etc, are you fairly confident that you can rid yourself of these too using the bionic 880 and these nosodes, or is it strictly "experimental" at this time?
thanks, Rachellemarie

The photons are reported to work the same for other infections. That's all I can say at this point.
I think that the treatment of LD with photons is experimental, at least in the US. That said, it may be one of the best tools we have but it will take time to have more clear observations myself.
