I have been reading a lot, and there is a lot of research that people with Lyme disease needs to go gluten free. I was tested, and am positive for gluten resistance. I think it's very important to not eat gluten.

I have also added oil of oregano, and teasel root to my herbs, along with juicing, and drinking digestive tea that Don had suggested on here. It's delicious, I love it, and it's easy on the belly. The tea is green tea Kombucha, by Yogi, I brought mine online as it was cheaper by two dollars then the store is.

Since I have tested positive for high heavy metals, I am thinking of adding cilantro to the mix, the only thing is I hate the taste.

I have been in to much pain, and two sore to get on the treadmill this week, but I hope next week I can get back on it. With the first week of Ondamed, I was pretty worn out last week. I do trust the LLMD I have , and I think we are going in the right direction, it's just going to be a long road.

I do believe the theory that it's like peeling the layers of a onion, you don't get better until you get to the core. I also believe my mental state plays a big part in me getting better. In order for my body to start to fight this disease I have to build up my immune system, I am working on that each day, and trying to have a good mental attitude, some days that is easier said than done.

In saying all of this the Lyme community has reached out to me, and has helped me both on here, and On Facebook, and I don't know where I would be without all of you guys.

I hope we are get into better, and start to enjoy our lives again.

Ditto Justme. We will get better. I'm having a lot of set backs with the abx currently. Had to stop biaxin and restart at just 1/4 of the dose I was taking. I'm herxing from 1/4 of a dose, still! I will have to order some of that tea, thank you for the tip! To each his/her own. I have my heart issues and other people have different things. What a strange disease this is.

peeling an onion is almost worse than lyme! I choose not to do either....if it were possible.

Well, congratulations on feeling a bit better, Just me!! It's been pretty tough on you, and I'm really glad to hear that you are able to even think of getting on a treadmill!

I agree that the mind set has a lot to do with healing! If you know that you will heal once you find what your body needs to heal, then I believe that you will find it! Of course eating right is incredibly important as well as other things like detoxing. It all plays a big part, and to leave one out means that the body won't heal or at least not as quickly - and that's something we can all agree on....wanting to heal as quickly as possible!! :-)


Opugirl,
I'm so sorry to hear of the issues that you are now having! Please take care and be careful to continue to detox as much as your body will allow!

Thank you, I agree , I have been detoxing everyday, trying to get the toxins out of my body.

I am sorry Opugirl, abx is rough on our body, but people have gotten well on them. I wish they would work for me, at this point they haven't.

If it wasn't for the herbs, I wouldn't be able to walk, there were months there I had to use the cane everyday. Now I only use the cane every once in a while.

I had a horrible seizure , my whole body is shaking. Lyme does crazy things to my body. I pray for a cure.

I'm so sorry Justme! I know so well what those are like. I pray for a cure as well, but until then we just have to spread the word!

I hope you can rest well tonight.

Hi Justme.

Sorry that you are having such a difficult time.

I read above that you don't like the taste of cilantro. Have you tried parsley instead? It is also very good for detox. I rotate between cilantro and curly and flat leaf parsley.

Be careful not to overdo it on just one green. When eating raw greens, it is important to rotate the greens that you use. All greens have very low doses of toxins in them. This is a natrual defense mechanism to prevent animals from eating the entire plant. If you continuously eat only one type of green, you will get too much of it's natural defence toxins and end up feeling sick.

I got this information from "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko. It is a great book that covers everything you might like to know about Green Smoothies... in case you are interested.

I wish you good health. I hope you feel better soon.
