Thinking back I don't know if I mentioned all the treatment methods I have tried in the past.
Homeopathic: I was a homeopath nut for over a decade. Took courses with one of the best and used it frequently. It was good for more insignificant health issues and I did not get relief for the big stuff from Lyme, even under a doctors care.
Acupuncture: Great for short term relief, but expensive, and...short term.
Spinal Manipulation: Part of me felt pretty good short term!
"Tens": Electrical impulse into aching joints. Loved the feeling of the tens, but again, short term.
Massage: The best thing going for detox. Too expensive for me to do every two weeks, but with a trained masseuse in the lymph node system, I got serious detox relief. On -going this would help keep the system cleaned out.
Rife: Kind of freaks me out. I was too filled with toxins when I used it, maybe now with less of a load in my body it would be OK.
Chinese Herbs: Let no one say I am not a naturalist/herbalist a heart. The herbal mix made my stomach and intestines feel better, but it smelled and tasted like cow manure. That didn't last long.
Teas: Love this as a gentle detox. Use it still, and use as many herbs/flowers from my own garden as I can.
Aqua therapy: Great detox, with effects lasting up to 2 weeks or more for me. See post on Aqua therapy.
Epsom Salt baths: Ahhh, still my #1 way to relax and detox. I always feel lighter and less inflamed from these. ES foot baths great too.
OK, yes, long term antibiotics: What saved my life.
Supplements: Both herbal and always derived from what is already in the body. Boosters. These I will always use.
I am not done as of yet, as I move through my new life with a broken body, I find I am moving into new territory all the time. However, thanks to the holistic treatment I am getting now, I have improved, I'd say 80%. That, in my opinion, is the best news yet! :)
The chart is just a beginning of what is available.
