MOre on Dr. Oz from the Oprah Show. I know this is not directly related to lyme disease but many of the things he said were helpful.
I know before I had a label for why my health went south, I felt like I went from 50 to 150 in years.
Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen devote an entire chapter of their book, YOU: Staying Young, to another aging antidote...great sex.
"We've known for a while that having sex can increase your longevity," Dr. Oz says. "In fact, if you can double the amount of sex you have, you'll actually add three years incremental to your life. ... I'm talking about monogamous, loving sex."
June, a 47-year-old woman who tested Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen's anti-aging plan for eight weeks, says her sex life was ho-hum before joining the program.
Sex wasn't the only thing in June's life that was suffering. "When I got out of bed seven weeks ago, every joint in my body ached," she says. "Everything was sagging, especially the breasts and the behind."
Now, June takes two minutes to stretch every morning and has introduced yoga into her routine "This has helped me considerably to reduce stress," she says. "It also has taught me control."
In addition to yoga, June walks two miles a day and sticks to a vitamin regiment prescribed by Dr. Oz. June's diet has also changed dramatically. Instead of stocking up on fattening foods, June now fills her refrigerator with healthy fruits and vegetables.
June says these lifestyle changes have helped kick-start her sex life! "The fireworks are back, and if I can be so bold, and say the orgasms have multiplied and intensified," she says. "I'm telling you, ladies, all we have to do to see fireworks is eat the right foods, stretch, exercise and have a positive outlook on life."

A lot of what Dr. Oz talks about was/is part of my healing routine. My llmd pointed me in the right direction.
I am now often mistaken to be about 36 rather 51. When I was sick with Lyme and co-infections I looked pretty bad.
Now, if I can get my SO to do all the good things so his sex drive improves I would be vary happy and not frustrated!!!

I also seen that Oprah show the other day. I love Dr Oz. I wrote down some things that I had heard before but had forgotten.
He reminds me so much of Gigi and he's thinking about our toxic world. Every little bit of toxins that we eliminate helps our bodies to heal.
Oz trying to get Oprah to drink the cod liver oil was so funny.

I like the fact he kept it sane and simple. Like suggesting that a really great AIR PURIFIER is to buy one of three plants!!!
One was a spider plant, another was a swedish ivy and then there was another.
I LOVED that!
Another was to enjoy the great outdoors by getting enough sunlight (15 minutes). Vitamin D needs to be supplemented by people who live in the north, like people in Chicago!
