The Treatment Protocol

Todays the day!! The last day I have to take my remedies from the Hansa Center. While I was at the center my doctor formulated mixes of remedies that he compounded. Each remedy was tested with my body to show it would be beneficial before I actually started taking it.

I finally decided I would write up my remedies I have been taking, here it goes.

Remedy 1
Borrellogen, echinacom, Immunoplus, Ferrum Phos 6, Lobellia quercus, urtica conchae

All of the supplements in this remedy except for the ferrum phos are specific for a low immune system. All of them are used to bring up immune function.
The ferrum phos is also used for bringing up body temperature.
Borrellogen is specific for lyme disease, it has been clinically proven to help the body expel dead lyme bacteria.

Remedy 2
NAII/PNS, total thallium, total chlorine, total arsenicum, arnica betula A, ferrum silicum urtica, larynx levisticum.

These are all homeopathic remedies, NAII/PNS is for nervous system detox. The total chlorine is for dumping chlorine, total arsenicum is for arsenic, total thallium is for thallium. arnica is for pain, inflammation, and damage. Silicum is for mood, colds, and sore throat, urtica is for physical pain and damage. Larynx levisticum is for the throat.

These were the first two remedies I was recommended to take.

Remedy 3
Free and Easy Wanderer , Liver Flow
This two ingredients are from Chinese medicine. Free and Easy wander is for synchronizing the liver and kidneys. Liver flow is used to open up liver pathways and detoxification.

Remedy 4
Star of Bethlehem, Mimulus, Gentiana Absinthium, Pulmo tartarus 6/8 , Sulphur 30, Saromanthus aurum, mag sulph bryonia.
Star of Bethlehem and mimulus are Bach Flower remedies for emotional trauma(most likely associated to being chronically ill). The rest in remedy 4 are standard homeopathics.

Remedy 5
B Liquitrophic, Hypericum Bryophyllum, Hepar Stannum, Silicea Belladonna
All homeopathic remedies. The B Liquitrohic is a mix of homeopathic B vitamins.

Remedy 6
Hemo Liquitrophic, Cell Salt #6, Sulphur 30, Aurum equisetum A, Formica arnica, Medulla Arnica, Apis Levisticum, argentum 8

Remedy 7
Equisetum Formica, Secale Nicotiana, Liver Comp., Renes Mesenchyme, Gentiana Absinthium, Renes Betula, Arnica Plumbum Mel, Aurum Equisetum B, Bambusa pulsatile, Myristica argentum, Hypophysis Stannum.

Remedy 8
Harmonize Water and Fire, Total Bromine, Total Niccolum, bt detox
This is a mix of homeopathy and Chinese medicine. It is for liver and kidney detox as well as bromine and nickel detox.

This is all of the compounded remedies. Confusing isn't it??
Unless you are educated in homeopathy you probably do not know much about any of the remedies. I do not even know much about a lot of them.
Overall each remedy is for some kind of detox or repair. All of the Total X are to detox the specific ingredient. Total Bromine for example is to remove bromine.

B-Liquitrophic is a homeopathic blend of B vitamins. Hemo Liquitrophic is a blend for blood cell support.

There are a significant amount of remedies for bromine, chlorine, gold, silver, nickel, lead, thallium, sulphur, iron, and arsenic. They will either help my body remove the ingredient from my system or help my body utilize them better.

There are also specific remedies for liver, throat, stomach, and nervous system healing.

Overwhelmed much? I am.

Then I have the standard packaged remedies-
CholestPure, a natural form of Cholestyramine. This is a binder that helps the body remove pollutants safely.

CheleX, this is a natural and pharmaceutical chelator. I just started this last week per the doctors recomdations so I will not be stopping it until I go back to the center. It contains Cilantro and EDTA to remove heavy metals and lead especially.

Total Male, this is a high quality multivitamin for males. Also has ingredients good for the liver.

GB Plus, this is for gallbladder support. My gallbladder showed some significant stress, this remedy will help support it.

Adaptocrine, this remedy is to feed the adrenals. It contains many of the common adaptogens used for adrenal fatigue.

Lastly Betaine HCl. I take this with meals to help raise my stomach acid. According to a stomach acid test I produce very little of my own. This is another remedy I will not be stopping until I go back to the center.

All of these remedies are meant to bring my body back into balance. They support several organ systems and pollutant removal. Now I get to stop them until I go back and probably get prescribed something new for my next phase of healing.

I know this post was a mouthful!!

Second Day of Treatment

Still impressed with the methods and results here at the Hansa Center!
I met with Dr Jowdy yesterday morning. He tested me on some remedies and started me on 4 different bottles.
What I really liked is how he was able to test me on so many different remedies, find the correct combination, and then mix them into 3 different bottles. So I am taking more than I did before, just compacted. He did some more testing as far as pathogens and toxins go, heavy metals and mycoplasma are the highest priorities my body is talking about.
When he was doing the testing for everything it was interesting to see how the results changes after adding a remedy.
For example when he was looking for a remedy he checked ammonia after adding in the remedy. The ammonia went from being concentrated in my heart/liver/brain into being splattered everywhere. He added something else to it, the ammonia disappeared entirely.
The first remedy pushes my body into releasing the ammonia then the second pushed it into detoxifying it out.
The same thing happened for heavy metals.

The therapies they had me so yesterday were-massage, infrared sauna, LUX(abdomen), powerplate, q-laser, Bemer, and ST8. After doing all of this I feel extremely tired. Some of this stuff I wasn't so sure about like the LUX but even that does change how I feel when I'm doing it.

I fell asleep about 8-8:30pm then woke up from 10:30-4, getting up this morning at 8:50.
My sleep has certainly changed, my sleep quality has improved. Sleep timing is all over the place. Dr.Jowdy said its a good thing that I have started sleeping deeper and it's a good start.

At the moment it is easier for me to post yesterday's information, so tomorrow I will post about today and so on.
This therapy is making a difference in my symptoms and is really wearing me out.

Current Treatment

In my last post I basically just gave a long list of the remedies I have taken in the past years. Today, I am going to describe my current treatments, and possible changes for the future.
My current protocol is helping, but it will certainly not be my saving grace. I still have pronounced symptoms on a daily basis and I still have flairs weekly.
I did have this under control at one point, daily symptoms were minor and I wouldn't get any major flairs. I want a repeat of this! I have stuff to do and places to be!

Ok here is the list of supplements-
L-Glutamine powder, 1 tsp per day
Artemisia Combinations, 2 pills 3x daily, 3 days on 4 off
Black walnut capsules, 2 pills 3x daily
POA phytolens(TOA cats claw), 1x daily
sublingual glutathione, 2-3 daily, 50mg each
ALA, 100mg 3x daily
5 MTHF, 1 daily
Dopalift, 1/2 cap daily
FIveHTP Thrive, 2 before bed
Calc.Phos. 30C, 3 pills 2x daily
1 calm magnesium packet daily
1 Methyl B12 injection weekly
Cinchona bark tea, made with 1tsp bark

Long list right? It needs to change, with as much as I am taking I should be feeling better.
Lets analyze and dissect everything I am taking, maybe something will stand out to you(please tell me if you notice something!). I already have a general idea of what I want to change.

The bacteria killers are, Artemisia, cats claw, and cinchona bark tea. Plus the black walnut, which is more so for parasites.
Artemisia and cinchona are strong, they are certainly making a difference. I haven't even built up to a high dose yet. At some point I will probably move up to 3 cups of tea. These are both primarily for babesia/blood parasites(if present). Artemisia might kill borrellia, I don't know for sure. All of the information on Artemisia and borrellia is conflicting, some say yes it kills it some say no.
This is strong enough for the time being.

The POA phytolens isn't strong, 1 cap a day(450mg). This isn't a significant dosage at all! This is my ND's preference for treating lyme...because it is TOA free, its supposed to be stronger. When I followed the Buhner protocol with cats claw, I took a huge dose compared to this. According to the Buhner protocol I should work up to 1-4 tabs 3-4x daily, each pill is 450mg! I know there is some conflicting info on the TOA free vs non TOA free, but there is NO WAY this makes one 450mg pill capable of replacing a max dosage of 7,200mg. Its not possible.
I would take more but, this brand he wants me to take is $38 for 30 pills. I want to call BS. That's nearly $1 a pill, its not considered one of the strongest remedies for lyme disease, and that is expensive. The Buhner protocol made a difference for me, this does not...
This will definitely change in the future, its way too expensive for something that is too weak to make a difference.

I take the Dopalift for alertness, fatigue, and low dopamine levels. I have been tested twice for neurotransmitter levels, dopamine was almost non-existent on both tests...
I did one bottle of this earlier this year, nothing notable.
Then I did the second neuro test he wanted me to do it again because I didn't take it long enough for it to have an effect. I put it off for a while, I want to treat the cause of my symptoms, not the symtpoms themselves. Low dopamine is a result of a stressed, infected body. Not a pill deficiency.
This second round with the Dopalift was different than the first, for one it made me quit sleeping. As soon as I started taking it I was wide awake almost until sunrise!
So I spoke to the ND, he told me to half the capsule. So far this is working fine for me, it may give me a tiny bit of energy, nothing significant. He did tell me I would have to stay on this a little while for it to really make a difference, which is fine. There are 60 pills in the bottle, and I only take half of one daily...the one bottle will last me 120 days at this rate. Already bought it, might as well use it. So for now this doesn't need to change.

The L-glutamine is for gut health. The stomach uses it in the stomach lining, without it we develop problems. I started this after the first neuro test, I don't really notice a difference. I already have the bottle, at the slow rate I am using it this bottle will last at least another 6 months. So for now, this has no reason to change. Its an essential nutrient and I already have it.

I have been on and off magnesium for years. Its good for pain, muscles, and detoxification. The body uses magnesium to create enzymes used for detox.
I noticed at first if I missed a dose of mag I would have more muscle and joint pain. Now its no big deal. Its needed for detox and most chronically ill patients swear by it, so it can stay.

5HTP Thrive is used for sleep, I started this with the last bottle of Dopalift. It may be helping me sleep harder,  not earlier at all, but waking up has been easier lately. I will leave this one be because its new, it still has time before I can feel the full effects.

Glutathione is used for detox. This is an OK supplement, it doesn't seem to have any strong effects. I started this to help up my detox about a month ago. It may help some, but I wouldn't brag about it...
When I finish this bottle I will replace it with something new.

ALA I started because of the Andy Cutler protocol for chelation. It is supposed to help detox heavy metals from the brain. In the beginning it was VERY strong, I had to cut the 300mg pill into 5ths, and took two each day. For the time being I wont change this, it isn't as strong as it was,but I think I need to add in another chelator like DMSA. When I was taking both is when I felt the best.

Methyl B12 shots were something Dr.L wanted. I showed low for B12 on a test in the beginning so this was something she wanted me to do. I started with regular B12 but it didn't do anything. Gene tests showed I needed the methylated form of B12.
The ND during this time also added me onto his B-complex. It is a good one, the B12 is methylated, it has loads of B vitamins, plus it has a high dosage of each. According to the ingredients the B-Complex is stronger than the injection, but ill be honest. Neither of these gave me significant results. I don't test low for B12 anymore, I don't need to be doing both of these.
I have since finished the B-Complex, still working on my B12 injections. For the time being, I am going to finish the injections and come back to it.

The 5MTHF is something the ND wanted me to do because of the results of the gene test. I cant remember exactly which gene is the reason he wanted me to take this. This for now, I wont change. He feels really strongly about it and the whole methyl B vitamins can make a difference for some. Ill give it a shot for a while longer.

Then last is the Calcarea Phosphorus 30C. This is something I started on my own. I researched homeopathic remedies to help with scoliosis, and this is the one that matched me. It is for calcium and phosphorus absorption, so it really isn't for symptoms. It can stay too.

Now that the overview is established, what should change in your opinion?
I am not treating Lyme disease, or at least strongly. Babesia is covered well, but nothing I am taking will significantly affect borrellia.

Another thing is I need to work on chelation again. I had to take a break because it was wearing me out. I had to wake up at night to take the pills, keep track of the time and make sure I had DMSA and water for the next dosage. With low dose chelation it is really frowned upon to miss a dose, so i stuck to this strictly.
Now I feel like its time to add something stronger than just ALA.

To recap-I am going to get rid of the POA phytolens and glutathione, and add something in for lyme and heavy metal detox.

If anyone has a suggestion as to what herbs to add, please comment!

Ok, my fingers are tired and I am too dizzy to stare at this screen any longer, I am out for tonight. :)
