Anybody had treatment at Arizona Center for Advanced Medicine?

I thought my email is enabled, no? What am I doing wrong?

The DDS is great, but he is at a loss too. I developed viral ulcers and then a bacterial infection. The ABX(2 different ones) didn't seem to help and now it seems the virus is back. The doc said he has never seen this before. He has been having me come in every day(and on his days off) for various holistic treatments, but nothing is helping. He is really trying too.
He gave me a name of an intuitive doc who lives in FL who he says will help me over the phone. I am not opposed to alternative medicine at all. I am treating Lyme herbally after all.
I just want a medical doc to investigate and maybe some lab testing.

I just feel so defeated. I really thought this surgery was my ticket; but I guess with a faulty immune system I shouldn't expect normal or even positive outcomes.

I emailed my LLMD in Europe who says the surgery likely caused a reduction in the activity of my cellular immunity and I need immunotherapy. So yeah we're thinking Lyme related. Our immune systems are just shot. Sigh.

I didn't think it was at first glance. Sorry, my mistake.

It's still early, TrialbyLyme...I know you feel defeated...but once you get this infection and virus under control, then you can heal.

@Blue-thanks for the email. I will look at it. We have done ozone injections, trigger point therapy, acupuncture, halo light treatment, homeopathics, and gargles/rinses with silver, salt, essential oils, and hydrogen peroxide. I will start oil pulling again with my ozonated coco oil now that I am a month past surgery. I am allergic to bees so BVT is out. What is stabilized cd?

@Girlie- Thanks for your encouragement. I guess my worst fear is that I will be in the same boat or worse than before surgery. If the bone has already started growing infected in the jaw then I am back to square one. And my sweet hubby(and caretaker) is across the world, making a living for us. So I am on my own and feel so lost. Just had to vent for there for a second. ;)

Aww...you go ahead and vent...that's what we're here for.

Chlorine dioxide ....its mms but a commercial company makes a mouth wash called closys.a dentist i met says it works for 80%of his clients ...the one that workwd for my friend was a chlorohexadine mouthwash but you need a script for that ..

With bees most think they are allergic ,Does your throat close up ,swell up to elephant size on bite ?red localized golf ball or even base ball reaction is normal ..unless sweats and diarrea anaphylaxis, it not true allergy ...
ellie lobel thought she was allergic just needed desensitization like iocaine powder on the princess bride

This is why I have avoided surgeries unless they are deemed "emergencies" - and I've had a few of those. The 'fall out' (my term) after surgery can be extensive. I'm so very sorry that you are going through this!!

Not only the anesthesia, but the stress of surgery work against us - and any other drugs administered can add to the toxin load that our body is already dealing with, and there are always those 'unexpected' issues that crop up with a person that has these infections. Not to mention any potential herxing from the said drugs - even if they are necessary for the surgery and recovery.

I've been moderately allergic to bees my whole life. I can get stung on my hand and have my whole arm swell up to and including my shoulder. Because of this, I won't do BVT. I would encourage you to be very careful if you consider it. Maybe go to a practitioner that will support you in this, so that should you have a severe reaction, they can administer the meds necessary to save your life if need be. Anyone that has a potential to have a severe reaction to a bee sting should not consider BVT as a possible treatment, as the goal is to build up to 10 - 15 or more stings a day, if I understand right.
