Essential oils

Edit: sorry to be so long winded. Read it, if you care to. Essential oils are a great help. On Guard, DDR Prime, and oregano are a few good ones. The oils can help you get better, but you gotta support your body too. That's important.

Essential oils saved my life, I'm firmly convinced. I haven't healed to where I'd feel comfortable saying that I am better, but I have improved in some areas, I'd say.

The improvements aren't all owed to the oils, but I'd say that they started to help me when nothing else had, and the pain was feeling too much to bear. I'd have this terrible, chronic low grade brain inflammatiom, with lots of personality disturbances. I was a mess, to say the least.

With herbs, or even with pharmaceutical drugs, I think it, again, depends on the individual and their needs at any given point along the path to getting better, peeling away the layers of those onions.

Thankfully, most of the things that we use to take, are antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, you pick. So, if there's some pathogenic business going on, if you were to throw them at it, there would be work to be done.

As much as things like supplementation and caring for oneself in ways that support strength and detox are important, it's also important to lower the pathogenic load, which are taxing your body.

If you're like me, four years into treatment, not being able to see an LLMD until this year, you can say that treatment for Lyme disease and the coinfections can be a bit of a paint smear.

Throw a can of a paint on a canvas, and then throw some more. Eventually, the picture will start to take form. It may be hard, and take time, but remain steady. Keep trying.

Also, I'm not saying four years is what it will take for anyone, just saying it. I have heard of people responding really well and quickly to things. It's just the individuality of it, again.

The ticks give us a cocktail, and they can vary, but we have our own ingredients too. We're all very different, and in Lyme ways too.

But, the short answer is that essential oils are very likely to help you. Try DDR Prime oil, Thieves, On Guard, Frankincense, lemon, garlic, oregano, tea tree oil. These in particular were best for me.

DoTerra offers for the DDR Prime and OnGuard, while Thieves is Young Living. You can get similar blends elsewhere, but I recommended getting theirs for quality.

For the other oils, I personally used Mountain Rose Herbs.

I don't sell or anything for these companies, and this is just my opinion: I think their products are solid. They have history in the Lyme community.

I think I've been slow with Lyme treatment due to my own dim mental status, but a recent discovery has been that I need to pay more attention to detox and supporting myself in recovery.

A balanced diet, support for proper gut function and flora balance, and detoxification are the foundation of treatment. I think anyone else would agree.

We want to kill, obviously, but take care of yourselves too.

Also, try to find ways to smile.
