This last week has been nice, I've had enough energy to do everything I needed to.
This last week I planted a garden. I had bought all of the seeds and planned everything out last year, to plant in the spring.
Well that never happened. So this year I finally made it happen. My energy is not consistent but on average I have enough. This week I started work and finished it yesterday. Next I have to wait on seeds to sprout to be transplanted.
Today has been my most down day out of the last week. As far as diet goes I have been eating like I should, juice and smoothies mostly. I know when I consistently drink juice and smoothies along with healthy meats like liver, I feel better.
This has proved true for my last week for sure. When my energy starts to get down I squeeze in a second juice and the next day it's back up. Yesterday I did something not good, I ate ice cream...there's no secret as to why today isn't a better day. But it is what it is, I'll keep trying to be good.
I have a lot to do in the next month! It is nice to report that I am doing well and not fully crashing!

Standing Tall, I think
I have been home for a week now. After this last trip I have been left encouraged. I not just have hope but I feel hope. That doesn't happen often when it comes to treating chronic, degenerative diseases.
During my entire journey with Lyme disease I have said I will be completely healed. I don't know when, but I will be in great health one day. I will do what I want to do without being in pain or laying in bed with crushing fatigue. This week, or even more like this last month, I know it's true, I can feel myself gaining strength. My face actually looks better, I don't look pale or ashy anymore.
I am able to concentrate more so than before. I don't lay in bed with fatigue that literally feels like I am being crushed. It's unlike any other fatigue. It's not like the flu or like exercise fatigue, it's way worse.
Progress is still to be made. I'm not cured by far, I still have symptoms by the plenty. But now my they have dropped in intensity and frequency. My sleep is better, I am out by 2:00am every night fairly consistently. Some nights it's 1:00am, that's been unheard of in my life pre-Hansa treatment.
Back pain has decreased. I couldn't hold a chiropractic adjustment before, this treatment has strengthened my back and muscles. Now I can support myself better than ever.
I know for sure I will have to go back for treatment. This of course is slightly disappointing just by the fact that I wasn't finished and cured in the first two weeks. I have been sick for years, the fictors at Hansa are great but they aren't God Almighty. Walking in the doors will not remove every ailment in my body...
This next visit in a few months will possibly be my last visit though. I am going to try to do everything I can to build up my body for optimal health in the next 60 days. See, I will be taking all of my remedies a max of 60 days, during this one my body will be utilizing the frequincies and herbs to build up strength. After that, my body is on its own most likely until I go back to the center. All of this needs to count for as much as possible!
I still have progress to make. I cannot exercise without pain and fatigue, concentration and motivation need to he built more(though improved), and I still catch little bugs and colds frequently. Healthy people don't catch a cold every month. I know people that get a yearly bug and that's it, or even every few years. I would like to see what that feels like, instead of single handedly keeping the tissue industry in business.
That's all I have for today, it's great to not just physically feel good for a change but also mentally!

Hansa Round Two Final Day
I have reached my last day of round two with successful results!
My body and my mind are much better than before. Yesterday I even did a little exercise in the hotel room! Get this, I felt good afterwards. I have always heard about how after exercise you feel envigorated. This is never happened to me before, it's not exactly like a switch has been flipped-yet. But my body is doing a much better job at working for itself now than it was in January when I first came.
The results I have seen in me and other people in such a short time is amazing. Not everyone gets dramatic improvements like I have gotten. When I came in to see my Dr. On the first day I was already better than a good number if not most of the patients here. I was not on the downhill side, I may not have been moving uphill but I was in need of someone to pull me out of a ditch.
Even coming one time I had lasting results that carried all the way until my next visit, I did have bad days. Bad days are to be expected, that's the nature of a sick body. No Human doctor is capable of giving you or anyone else spontaneous, instantaneous, miraculous healing. Humans don't have that power. Always remember that when you go to your doctor or even if you come here!
Ok I'll get back to my usual business of reporting my news and moving along (until I have something else to say!)
Doctor today, went great. He did the neurocardial synchronization. I listened to my heart through head phones. During this time the doctor was also listening and using BRS testing to find the hang ups between my heart and brain. My heart rate was a little on the fast side and did not align with my pulse.
He used homeopathic medicine to correct the imbalances he found throughout my body.
It was pretty neat to experience. Some people with arythmias get dramatic results of improvement, if you have a heart issue this therapy could be extremely beneficial for you. They have a great track record of using it here at the Hansa Center.
At the end of today's appointment Dr.Jernigan walks in. This was great, I have wanted to talk to him and I finally have him in my captive audience! I wish I had some kind of amazing, out there questions to ask him to really see what he had to say. But ya know, it is what it is. Nevertheless, it was great to talk to him.
He spoke to me and my mom for about 45 minutes, we spoke about the medical field and chiropractic(because I am looking at going into this field). We spoke about Reiki, which is something that has interested me...I'm not interested in learning it because I think it can be a doorway to opening up a whole realm of things that we have no reason to mess with. It was awesome to have the opportunity to talk to someone who really know what they were talking about.
Therapies-massage, sauna, Beamer 2x, LUX, st8, q laser (neck)
One last thing I would like to mention, I have met some of the best people this time around at the clinic. Many new and many repeating patients.
I would like all to specifically pray for healing for my sauna buddies Paul and Ricky. They have both been through plenty (and should write a blog of there own hint hint).
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. – Psalm 103:1-3
Hansa Center Round 2 Day 4
Yesterday and today's have been a whirlwind! Everything towards the end just seems to move so fast, I can't keep up with it all.
The good news is I am doing great. My brain fog isn't running high and holding me down. All of the therapies wear me out, but this tired is definitely a huge improvement from Lyme tired. Lyme tired I would be in bed watching something mindless. This tired I can still be functional and it's not causing my system damage.
So doctor appointment 4/7-
He tested my body's alcohol metabolism. He found I did not have enough of one enzyme which created a build up of acetylaldehide. He worked with my body to find and correct the hang up.
So now after the remedies my body should be able to break down alcohol better than it was.
He did some more neck work. My neck is now holding better than it was before and I can feel that. So my remedies and his methods seemed to have improved it, I think this is something that will be a part of my next Hansa visit though.
Therapies-The usual minus massage.

Round two Day 3
Hey you guys
I got to sleep in late for a change this morning! That was nice, yesterday I had to be up and at the clinic at 8:45.....
But not today, today I had to be here at 10:45 :)
Ok so here's what went on with the doctor today.
He checked my sensitivity to iodine because my last hair minerals analysis had my iodine levels over 80 points of what it should be! He found that my body couldn't metabolize iodine and that I was also allergic to it. So he made up a remedy to correct that.
He also went through food allergies. Out of his 200 food samples I was sensitive to 29. He made a remedy to correct this also.
He did some more work on my neck and back. He found my neck issues was stemming from my rib cage. My rib cage is also affecting my liver and spleen, so he made a remedy to correct all of this. He also did some more work with the percussor.
The amount of change in my back is great. My chiropractor does an awesome job but it just doesn't stick...so when Dr.J here is able to correct all of the reasons my back isn't holding where it needs to be, I'm a happy person!
Overall I am feeling well, all of the therapies and sleeping in a strange bed makes me tired but otherwise I'm doing fine!
Therapies-Beamer 2X, ST8, LUX, q laser(colon), massage, sauna

Round 2 Day 2
I am halfway through day 2 at the HC.
I saw the doctor a few hours ago and he went over my CRT results. All have improved since last time!! He said usually they don't improve this quickly, changes are fast normally but not dramatic. The only things that stood out mainly were hormones, kidneys, thyroid and liver.
He also did some work on my back, which I gladly accepted. My back drives me crazy, I do not hold adjustments well especially in my neck. When Dr.J looked at my CRT and saw issues in my neck without me saying anything about it, I knew he would get it corrected. So far he has done a great job at correcting my symptoms. The severity of my symptoms changes all the time however. Like when I posted about my insomnia a while back....
Yes my sleep is better than it was before, no it is not cured and no it is not consistently great. Considering I haven't slept well my entire life and no drug, herb, supplement, homeopathic, or remedy of any sort has touched it before, I'll take these results and run with it!
He did do some work with the percussor on my neck, I didn't in particular love the feeling of it..but ya know what? My neck adjusted and it's not bothering me at the moment.
He said we will be watching how well it holds over the next few days, we may need to dig deeper than my current remedies and an adjustment.
Today he added in a remedy specifically for kidney support along with a homeopathic blend.
Several months ago my ND had me drink a UTI blend tea specifically for kidney support, it actually made a noticeable impact on how I felt. On top of that my skin cleared up. It will be interesting to see if something like that happens again.
Therapies today-Beamer 2x,sauna, q laser on colon, lux, st8, massage

Hansa Center take Two Day 1
I have officially started my second round of treatment at Hansa!
I saw the doctor this morning for an hour. After running through his testing he found that virus, parasites, heavy metals, bacteria, and mycoplasma are my top aggravators right now. I am not surprised, I've had some kind of sinus bug for ages now, it's bound to be either virus or mycoplasma.
He reviewed my blood work, it's improved. It definitely shows that my body is functioning more now than it was before. It's not perfect yet, still have a way to go.
Some highlights of my blood work are-my blood sugar has come down from 96 to 93, my potassium is now closer to the normal range, sodium is fine, vitamin needs to come up a little, I have too much iron but lower ferritin. I am going to go back over my blood work later, this is all I can remember.
Overall there were several markers for parasites I did not have before but otherwise improvement is noted.
He started me on 3 things, he changed my HCL, added a homeopathic blend, and also molybdenum.
Molybdenum is great for the liver and detoxifying alchohols especially from yeast (candida). Recently I have been waking up with the so called "hangover" feeling for no reason, this is most likely from candida. I would wake up with a mild headache and feel kinda woosy. Considering neither of those are symptoms I get often at all, I would say I have yeast acting up.
Parasites, these were problem here last time just not a priority. I have had a feeling parasites would be coming up, mainly because of the insomnia. In the past whenever I would do a parasites cleanse in anyway I would sleep less and feel wired. I am hoping that once parasites are knocked out I'll sleep like I was when I left here last time!!
Therapies today-massage, Beamer, ST-8, infrared sauna, D light bed (5min), q laser on stomach, and lux on torso.

Time to Head North
I'm just going to give a short update of what's going on. I haven't been writing much lately because my focus has been all over the place. Up down bad good, it's been everywhere.
The good news is my sleeping is doing better. I haven't stayed awake an entire night in a while now. I've been sleeping my usual 3/4:00 am - 10:00am. I can live with that. It's not ideal, but it's not bad.
Yesterday and today were some of the best days I have had in a long time. I woke up yesterday and today and was able to hit the ground running. I woke up, and just got going.
Yesterday was one of my most productive days in a long time, a few weeks ago I couldn't imagine doing as much as I did yesterday, especially without a crash afterwards.
Today was almost the same. I didn't have as much energy as yesterday, but still more than normal.
Either way, I'm not complaining. I even did a little exercise for the sake of trying twice this week, only for a few minutes(less than five). It went well, still need work but it's improved.
All that I have done recently was up the juice and the smoothies. Recently my diet hasn't been as good as it needs to be and I haven't been able to include things like homemade juice that my body needs.
It's amazing how much food makes a difference. It is a much larger part in medicine than given credit for!
I start back on Monday with Dr.J at the Hansa Center for my one week follow up. I am really looking forward to that. I have my list of questions ready. On top of that, my body is ready for treatment!! Even though I'm better, another boost is needed.
I want him to do something with allergies...I just have a feeling I'm allergic to some foods I eat often.
When I start back on Monday I'll be giving updates daily!
Until then!
