Medical Medium and Lyme Disease

Thanks Simon Templar. I need to look into what Dr. Greger has to say.

Thank you the for the information and the link Simon. Thats a very interesting thing to point out regarding the paleo diet, I had never thought of it like that.

I was so frustrated I saw a medical intuitive. She was the one who told me I had lyme disease and i needed to seek treatment with a LLMD. This was after spending thousands of dollars with other doctors and not getting anywhere for a year. I saw 4 doctors and none of them diagnosed me at all. Just wanted to give me prescriptions for the symptoms.

The one thing I didn't really like about her was that she pushed me to work with a LLND in NYC. I live in Michigan and really wanted a more personal approach. But once I told her I wanted to find one close to home she backed off. She was so caring and understanding it was so refreshing.

I would go for it. If you want her name, just let me know. I'm sure there are many out there though.

If it hadn't been for her I hate to guess where i would be. You don't have to be there in person. She does it over the phone. I researched a dozen medical intuitives and like her the best.

Hi,

I just want to weigh in. I read the book and he pretty much says EBV is behind everything, that and heavy metals. While I don't know for sure if he is the real deal, EBV wasn't on my radar AT ALL but it did made me think to ask my LLMD about it. Subsequently, he gave me the LDI for EBV and it cured my fatigue and swollen glands. So, while I am skeptical about his gift, etc, the book got me thinking, to sort of think outside the box and some good came out of it.

I guess I'm trying to say, I wouldn't to shut down things you don't understand or don't make sense. This disease doesn't make sense! You never know where or when you will get a piece of the puzzle solved. Also, people thought Shoemaker was insane as well as Jeffry Bland for saying (circa 1998) that our bacteria in our gut is the key to everything (he's the father of functional medicine).

Taking the approach to be openminded is important. I think more information is better. I always say to my kids, Knowledge is power. I go with my gut quite a bit, and that seems to help guide me, so intuition can serve you well as well. As far as I know, there isn't a book on why that works either. Cheers!

So has anyone tried his protocol?

I went out to the grocery store yesterday and got Kale, Parsley, Cilantro, Lemon, Blueberries, Cucumber and Ginger. Made a smoothie of that and my god that was bitter and nasty. I also tried to eat broth with eggs/onions/garlic and I almost threw up with that. I dont think I can handle broth. I don't know but since 2012 I ate mostly plant based diet with only fish and eggs as my animal protein options. It was dairy free, gluten free, and I truly felt the best on it. Back in last year I started incorporating gluten/dairy as I felt really left out at family gatherings, plus I missed bread. Health really started to go downhill after that though.
