Oh my goodness. I’m not alone.
I have struggled with Lyme and Babesia and Chlamydia Pnemoniae for 8 years. I’m 25, 5’5” and at my lowest weight was 88 lbs. I’m finally at 98 pounds! After finding out what foods were causing inflammation and cutting them out, including almost all grains, sugar, and a few random things like onions and mangoes and cashews. I am also allergic to gluten and dairy. I eat high caloric intake (at least 2600 calories a day, my goal is 3,000) of bone broth stews, tons of organic meat and eat at least 6 meals a day.
My uncle has had lyme for 20+ years and he is 6’3” and at his lowest weighed 117 lbs.
I was accused of being anorexic from all non-LLMD doctors. My uncle didn’t begin to gain weight until he took care of his heavy metal toxicity. it took years.
I am pretty sure I need to treat babesia before I will get better. I just came through 4 years of treating lyme. they just took me off of abx 1.5 months ago.
I for sure gained weight when I focused on healing my gut. I did a mixture of GAPS/AIP for 2 years.

Omg my life story. I have 3 kids and pregnancies were hell it's like I gained less weight with each pregnancy I only weight 114 now I'm 5'7 and I have several bloating and nausea sibo I'm guessing from all the years of antibiotics use. How can I make some broth I looked into that yesterday bt DNT know where to start. And how did your uncle get rid of heavy metal toxicity ?? And do u know what kind he had? I've had yeast problem for 2 months straight I've never experienced this in my life. Im trying dysbiocide now pretty pricey it's for SIBO ibs yeast etc. Only been on it for 1 week with some dieting seems to be working a little can't tell much yet tho. Ive been taking sida acuta, Japanese knotweed, houttynia, red root 20-50 drops 2x a day for 3 weeks now but it's 1:4 ratio I think that's low dose maybe that's y I don't feel too different just increase in arthritis pains

Bone broth is so easy, I promise. Perhaps the biggest challenge for most folks is finding the bones. Because my dad hunts and his neighbor raises organic beef, I have unlimited supply.
I soak a pot full of bones covered in filtered water with 1/4 cup ACV for at least an hour. This helps leach the minerals out of the bones.
Then you bring to rolling boil for at least 15-20 minutes. You can add garlic and onion for flavor if you can tolerate them.
Then put on low simmer and cover for 48 hours. That’s it!
You’ll have a super nutrient rich, flavorful broth that becomes gelatinous in the fridge. Delicious with cooked veggies.

My uncle had a granite encased well and he didn’t know it. It caused specifically uranium poisoning/toxicity, among other heavy metals.
He legit ate a whole head of cilantro with every meal, as well as took binders and detox baths and ate not a crumb of gluten, sugar, grains, or fruit for YEARS.

He has permanent nerve damage in his eyes and tailbone, of all places. His eyes are so light sensitive that his house is boarded up and he wears dark welding glasses at all times outside.

The Lyme he got while being a logger years before, the the uranium poisoning threw him over the edge I believe.

I did too. Had to move out of our super moldy house. Rough detoxing from that junk.

What did use to detox if u DNT mind me asking? I've just done like activated charcoal green tea capsules and a biofilm buster which is NAC . Do u recommend anything good?

Bone broth is easily made in the slow cooker and you can ask butchers if they have any bones leftover and they'll usually give it to you very cheap or free

My treatment LLMD concocted this paste that literally draws mold out of your sinus and pores!

It’s 5 capsules of charcoal, 1 tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp baking soda, 1 tbsp castor oil, 1 tbsp cacao powder (not to be confused with cocoa powder). I triple the recipe in a jar because that above recipe usually makes 2 uses.

Spread on armpits, neck, face, chest and back. Let sit at least 20 minutes and shower off with a good bar of soap or something that will take off the blackness.

I had a runny nose after every time! It draws out so much junk. My skin had like weird acne cysts that poured out junk.

Now I only do it once a week but my LLMD recommended every other day. Not daily.

I also take chlorella every other day.

I have found baking soda baths to be very helpful, as I can’t tolerate epsom salt.

I also take NAC, Pekana Drainage pack, and do castor oil packs for at least 2 hours a day. I’ve found drinking at least 1 lemon’s juice in my water a day helps too.

When I can afford it I do infrared saunas. But honestly the best thing is my Lymphatic Drainage treatment, he also does some kind of electronic pulser machine he hooks up to my veins, lol i’ll have to ask him what it’s called!

that’s amazing! I asked around at local butchers for curiosity sake for other people that needed bones and they charge $7 for a pack of two organic bones here! Bone broth is a fad here tho.

This is so helpful. Do u empty out the charcoal capsules and mix it in with the baking soda and the rest of the stuff?? I wanted to try chlorella bt heard it's so rough on ppl unless u buy the chlorella with a broken cell wall?

Yes I do! I just empty the capsules In the paste.

I have always been recommended to use the chlorella with broken cell wall, so I haven’t tried anything else. I also was told not to eat for at least 2 hours before and after but could drink a ton of water. This is honestly so hard for me as I need to eat very often so I purposefully schedule it into my treatment plan right after I eat a huge lunch so i won’t starve.

Same here can't help bt snack over eat think it's mostly from boredom and being stuck in my house all day with nothing else to do. I HV sibo and it's extremely hard to follow ateicr diet and eat very little. If it's bone broth I'd have it all day tho it's so good. I'm going to try the paste and the chlorella. U said it literally pulls mold and stuff out of your pores and I'm highly allergic to mold and my body is probably full of it.. I just learned how to grab Eid of mold used to clean my shower with just bleach and mold would always grow back due to bathroom being stuffy from hot water. I've learned wash it down with either apple cider vinegar not the best smell or just regular vinegar because the acidity doesn't let the mold grow

Lyme has definitely affected my weight and body. I rarely ever gain a thing and I’ve noticed it’s gone after areas I’ve stored fat. My breasts have gone down half in size (weren’t even big to start with) and it’s just been so frustrating. I was diagnosed with SIBO just last year and so I’m sure that hasn’t helped. Sorry for all the rest of you struggling with this and going through it. It is so frustrating!

I’m so sorry!!! Where I used to live was the same! My parents house was so moldy! we would scrub the bathroom with vinegars and bleached and anti mold chemical junk and it would just grow back. My LLMD told us again and again that my biggest healing step in being able to detox was moving. So now I’m in a relatively new apartment (couple years old) but not too new that it will have that horrid new house smell. I’m so sensitive to smells and chemicals.

The best thing I did to survive while at my parents house was take binders (like chlorella) and also this mix called Detox+ it is from Bulk Herb store. She created it to help cure her own lyme disease. It really helps. And, I love the taste of it! I just can’t take too much of it’ll constipate me! It has Bentonite clay, apple pectin, charcoal, and flax seeds and some other good stuff in it.

The second best thing I did to survive my parents mold house was to open the windows and keep fans going. We live in a super dry climate but it STILL molded wherever there was moist, no air flow areas.

I sincerely hope you can find some relief!

Oh and btw yes it detoxes junk out of your pores, so gross, my skin like went through a detox phase. I was skeptical at first when my dr gave me the recipe but he had so many success stories from other patients and what have I got to lose when I can make it in my kitchen?
