This board is very fortunate to have someone like GiGi.
GiGi is a very busy lady and only has time to state the facts.
I, for one, am very greatful for all of her input over the years.
Another family member of mine has just been dx with Lyme and I find hope for all from GiGi's experience.
Thanks for never giving up GiGi. You and your hubby are sweethearts.
Mary

Thanks, Angelica. I actually felt great on the Mepron when I was on Biaxin and when I was cutting my zith in half .... it was the full dose zith causing the issues.
My LLMD thought my problem was that it was causing inflammatory cytokines, that my symptoms were more likely the cytokines. The funny thing is, mold also causes inflammatory cytokines, so he was correct .... we just didn't know why yet.
Also, anything like Transfer Factor would cause the same symptoms. My immune system was already on the attack .... I didn't need it any more stimulated.
Last time on Malarone/Lariam, I backslid pretty badly.

Thanks for all your wonderful and not so wonderful input. Many people don't like what I have said over the last many years and don't like the way I say it - so be it. I speak English from the heart, but as a general practice, I do not insult others.
If a handful of people have heard me and have learned something that helped, that's enough to give me pleasure.
Frank, I am willing to bet right now that you will be going to Germany soon unless someone imports the instrument and you can get treated here.
As with any treatment for any disease, it helps to approach it in a positive way and with a certain trust and respect toward the doctor, especially if he is the founder of a proven protocol as is the case here. That is who we are talking about here.
I was able to feel very positive the first time I exchanged information with Dr. W. by telephone, and it has not changed over the last few months. He is a devoted doctor and I will be thankful to my last day that he had the courage and wisdom to develop this protocol into one that cures Lyme. Period.
The exception is a misdiagnosis, antibiotic intake during the treatment, re-infection, or heretofore unrecognized untreated problems, often structural. If people are still heavy metal toxic or have other microorganism die-off with the treatment, that will probably need attention after the Lyme has been treated. The monthly check-up he recommends to his patients, etc. I posted about in my first post when I described Dr. W's Power Point Presentation (in German language) in detail here, in English.
I don't care to be told that I spread another scheme, tell of just another crook who is after your money, or worse, a foreign person who doesn't care for Americans --- I tune out when I hear things like that. It is an insult.
But when one swims against the stream as I have done all my life and certainly on Lymenet, I have never known it to be any different. There are always those old rotten tree branches you have to climb around or over. I will keep doing my thing - whether some people like it or not --- And if what I have posted has helped others, that is all that counts. After all, it got me well a long time ago -- Take care.

GiGi thanks for your continuing efforts to share what you've learned. Information and communication between the lyme community and our doctors are going to defeat this disease. I hope we will see the day soon where there are practioners here learning from Dr. W. and collaborating with each other for even better treatments.
We as a board need to encourage practioners to evaluate Dr. W.'s approach. I've been working on my practioner and some day the bionic 880 will be here, its just a matter of time.
After spending a lot of hours researching LED technology, it is just at beginning stages of research. 880nm triggering biological reactions in cells. 660nm cell regeneration and repair. 1072 & 1280nm's ability to restore neural health. There is plenty that still hasn't been studied or tried.

Hello all... the vibe in this thread is healthy...I must say... I want to wish you both all the best...
Kinda reminds me of the 60's and GiGi first orbited the earth and now two more brave souls will attempt a landing!
Ok ... so beyond the metaphor...I pray for all of us this is the answer!
Lyme is out of control here in the US. As with all medical cash cows someone is benefitting at the suffering of others.
I cant afford 3,000$ a month for drugs... Mepron/zith/ceftin...
Taking your last handful of money and ending a financial bleed-out is very promising to me. That and feeling free from suffering. I'll get a ticket tomorrow!
Gigi and/or anyone... what is the wait time to see this Dr.? How were the accommodations ... meaning do they have a recommended place ect?
Thanx

Cooper, it is very simple. Call Dr. W's office and ask for an appointment. Tel 01149 7231-358378. Call during office hours - do not leave messages on recorder. The girls do not understand the many different American accents! And do not have the time to listen again and again and again to get the message straight.
We stayed at the www.gaestehausklein-dobel.de and it was the best ever - reasonable, happy clean, and nice people in the northern Black Forest with a full kitchen and great stores for reasonable supplies. I am a very thrifty housewife! They (ast the Gaestehaus) are without "wireless". The doctor has made it clear that he does not want people to be exposed to it while in treatment especially.
Ask if you have other questions. I do not know cost, etc. because it differs for everyone. Ask at the doctor's office for this type of info.
Hope you can do it. Lymefree is a wonderful feeling!
Take care.

thanks, joey

GiGi are you Cured, is your husband cured??? Or symptoms free??
I only ask because I am confused about the word CURE being used... I was under the impression that You CANNOT cure lyme and Co's...
If there was a cure I would be all for it considering how sick I am... I am sick of being unable to care for my children and myself.
About computer EMF's... I ALWAYS get very sick at the computer and this didnt start until I got sick. Never had the problem beofre. Unfortunately I need to use the computer for many different things. Actually its all I have, my bed and my computer to keep me connected to the outside world.
Well, I certainly don't have the money to go to Germany or to even treat here.. I dont know... I would think if this were the case then NO one would have lyme.

How is your husband doing now, GiGi? I know he is Lyme-free, but are his symptoms gone, too?
If this is everything it's cracked up to be, we should be able to get a group rate from Travelocity or someting.

Thanks for the well wishes!
Unexpected, this is a new procedure, people here have never even heard of it. GiGi knew someone in Germany who got Lyme and got cured by Dr. Woitzel (yes, cured, he has a very, very low relapse rate)
If it weren't for GiGi sharing about her friend and her own trip we wouldn't have even heard of it here. The doctor over there has been doing this treatment for over 8 years now. More of us are going to check it out.
Read the Bionic 880 I won't delete it thread ..... Nanodubo has posted about her success in Germany. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be able to say the same thing!
