Im finally getting my act together and blogging about it.
Day 1-
Todays doctor visit went well, he spent around an hour and half with me. He went over my most recent blood tests, they are still slowly improving. Last time around we cut down on parasite treatment, this time around we are ramping that back up. Mycoplasma, parasites, and possibly heavy metals are the issues so far. My good cholesterol is still hanging lower than it should be, we may be addressing that this week . The body has to have cholesterol to build tissues and hormones, so without it, hormones can go out of control. My adrenals have improved, they are not 100% yet but they are getting better even since my last visit. Tomorrow he will be going on my hormone results more in depth so I will know more on what the plan for those will be.
He tested my reaction on all of the remedies I had been taking, most of them still tested beneficial so I will be continuing on them.
He did start me on several new things today, in total I have 13 supplements to take at the moment.

The parasites are the cause of my recent fatigue that just continues to hang on. The mycoplasma is most likely what has been causing my recent gut issues.
Day 2-
This morning the doctor went over the CRT test results with us. Everything is still improving since last time even though I haven't been feeling so great. My gut, liver, and adrenals are all looking good. My kidneys are still taking a hit and also my sinuses, both of which have been an issue to some degree the entire time.
Today he mainly worked on my spine using the percussor and adjustor. He said this time around my back needed some work for sure, so today was dedicated to that. He did not add any new supplements today, it is likely tomorrow he will add more. Tomorrow he will be going over hormone results with me and he mentioned he may have a few exercises for me to start working on. Last time around he mentioned trying some exercises but then I got so sick we pushed it to the side.

Right now I am still feeling well, very tired and worn out but not sick.
Day 3-
Hi all, today went well. It was just me and the doctor today, he told mom to sit out this appointment. This is the first time I have ever done that here, and it went well. Part of the time he went over the hormone results but he had already spoken to me about them during my phone consult with him a month ago. He did run through some of his testing to see where he could find some of the root of the imbalances we had tested for. It mainly showed up as emotions causing the hormone imbalance.
He found several homeopathics to remedy the causes. When he was done testing which remedies I needed he told me what each individual remedy would normally be used for. For me the remedies were for brain fog, over mental stimulation, fear, excess exertion, self doubt, OCD, and several other things. Some were expected like the brain fog over stimulation, but the others like self doubt and OCD were a bit surprising.
He said basically what I should expect to notice is before long my brain will start to calm down when the emotions begin to release, most of the emotions are affecting me on a subconscious level-not so much day to day.
Because the emotions were tied to hormones, once the emotions begin resolving my hormones should begin improving.
My hormone results this time around were low DHEA, which is created by the adrenals. He says this tends to go either low or high when the adrenals out of balance. Low is the better of the two, and mine isn't low enough to need to be corrected. Last time my hormones were tested my DHEA was too high.
Testosterone was to high, last time it was sky high this time its just a few points out of range. DHEA being high is what causes testosterone to skyrocket, when the body has to get rid of excess DHEA it gets turned into estrogen and testosterone.
My estrogen 2 was to high, last time it was also much much higher than it should have been because of the high DHEA. This time it is closer to in range but it will still need to be watched.
All of my hormone imbalances tie back to the adrenals being stressed, which is normal in anyone who is chronically ill. The adrenals are responsible for creating most of the hormones in the body, so when they are over taxed for a long period of time bad things start happening like chronic fatigue syndrome and hormone imbalances.

The hormone tests also showed my adrenal health has improved, a few years ago I was tested and I was in phase 3 out of 4 adrenal fatigue. Now I am down to phase 1, so not to far off from what they should be.
Tonight is probably my best night this week as far as symptoms go, still extremely tired after finishing up at the clinic but i can live with that.
Day 4-
Today was another productive visit with the doctor. We were talking about brain fog this morning, one of the issues I've had on my blood work is low cholesterol. Guess what feeds the brain? cholesterol. So he started testing me on some things this morning, he tested me for a straight up cholesterol supplement but that wasn't was I needed. However, I did need a ketone supplement. He added this ketone supplement to the mix and proceeded to test my reactions....and once the ketones were added several new things popped up. Hormones came up again and so did kidneys, so he added a couple more things to the mix and that corrected everything.
I do not digest fats well, I crave fats and I need more fats. Fats are used by the liver, our brains are literally made from fat, and our body burns fat for energy. By getting my body into a ketogenic mode and by taking ketones, all of the sudden this cholesterol and hormone problem which has been slow to resolve-fixed. The doctor himself was surprised at todays outcomes, he explained it all to us and how this works but he was surprised that so many different things were corrected by this small change.
We hadn't even planned on going into hormones at all anymore, but that came up once again. E1/2/3/, ACTH, growth hormone, testosterone, and maybe one or two other hormones flagged and were corrected today. So today we may have knocked out brain fog and hormonal issues, time will tell but this looks like its going to be a big hit.

Day 5-
Todays doctor visit was focused on food sensitivities. He checked through all of his tests and I had 20 something food sensitivities, I did not test strait out allergic to anything but these 20 something items were causing an inflammatory response.
Because of how they treat these issues at the clinic, I don't have to worry about what foods I was sensitive too. He makes a remedy to counteract the reaction response my body has-and thats it. The remedy will negate any effects from those foods and will turn off that incorrect alarm response entirely once its taken full effect.
He went through to check any side of affects of this inflammatory response my body would have, it tied back to the adrenals. So energy would be affected by these sensitivities.
He also did a quick check for anything else I could be allergic to, I tested reactive to the metals in the chicken pox vaccine. he had me take a couple of homeopathic remedies to counteract that reaction. This one though was a one time occurrence as far as treatment goes, one dose was enough to stop that alarm reaction entirely. It also tied back to the adrenals and also the pituitary, which controls hormones.

He checked my gallbladder today also, nothing pinging. One of the remedies he gave me early in the week has something in it for mild gallbladder support and that was enough.
He also checked thyroid, once again nothing came up. So today the doctor visit ended a few minutes early because he had covered all of the bases, my body wasn't screaming about anything else.

All in all I counted up my supplements tonight, 5 liquids, 1 powder, and 16 pill bottles ending up with about 35-40ish pills a day for the next 60 days.
He is also going to have me follow to the ketogenic diet for a little while to see if that lifts my brain fog. This diet is a fat/protein based diet, both of which feed the brain. This is also a fairly good gut rebuilding diet because it limits sugars.

And here it all is. The original plan from here was to actually begin recovering and return in December to do a recheck.
This did not happen though, I returned in October to be seen again because I was feeling so poorly...
So I went to the clinic in July, October, and again this month.
