Yes I know it is too soon to tell.
And who knows I may need to continue them to stay feeling well? but that is the chance of many therapies..

So this is so interesting
Each week has been the same so far...The day of the treatment I am quite tired and want to sleep the rest of the day away. But a good sleep. THen the next day too I can tell I am still working through and feel fatigued etc.
BY the 3rd day I then can feel a surge of energy and healing and my skin even feels different. Its amazing. I slept like a baby and had good dreams.
This is very interesting and nothing like anything I have ever felt before. I can barely explain it.
I see there is not much interest and I will stop posting about it soon for now at least.
But at the same time I feel that if something is working for someone that others "might" want to know?
Maybe I am wrong or this is too far out there and different for people to want to persue or try?
So I will leave this post alone and maybe after the 8 weeks is done type an update on it and that is it.
For now I got to say this is a really exciting thing and feeling and I hope it is sustainable and incremental.
Blessings

Spring,
Thanks for the update. Have been thinking about you and how it went. This is so exciting and so glad it's making you feel better.
PLEASE do keep us updated as to how you are doing with this tx. Thanks for being such a pioneer.
We have such few options in beating this beast down, and if this works for you, and you have capable medical people doing it. Well who knows how many people might ultimately benefit. You are a real trooper.

Spring,
It's fantastic that you are taking the time to give us a thorough and detailed explanation of how this treatment is going.
I for one, may look into IPT.
You have fought this battle for a long time and I commend you for stepping out and trying something new.
Please keep us posted.

Thanks Gael and Haley
I am actually astonished and in a bit of disbelief so far. It has been working so well that I just can not quite go ahead and hold on to it yet.
I have done Many therapies and tried many things and I have my jaw kinda hanging down not knowing what to feel or say really.
I do know I want this to be how it goes forward and if it does this could be a huge deal and could help many as Gael is saying.
Blessings to all

THis weeks update. Is this week is nothing like the week prior. After the treatment it was the same and I then just had worse days instead of the better days I had the week prior.
It does feel like a herx. Sweating and achy and headaches and feeling just sick.
So we will see. I go for another treatment tomorrow. It has put a damper on my enthusiasm that is for sure.
But many say to hold out and keep on..

Wishing you continued success, Spring. Been thinking of you. No matter what happens, each step you take is one more than you had taken before and you are nearer your goal of healing. Hang in there!

Sounds like a herx. Sometimes when beginning a therapy there is an initial reaction of feeling better. I had it several times with different protocols.
The achys, sweating and headaches sure sound like the meds are making you herx. Probably a good thing even tho I am sure it doesn't feel good. Just keep going and know these beasties are dying. Sending healing thoughts,
Gael
