Hansa Round 3 day 1

Well you guys, I am back in Kansas. I saw the doctor yesterday for an hour then went through all of my therapies for the day.

Doctors report-bloodwork looks good. Blood sugar has come down to the 80's, vitamin D is ok, immune response is high, iron seems to be ok, good cholesterol is low so I need more fat in my diet, easonophils are high indicating parasites/allergies, liver and kidneys are fine, gallbladder seems to be good.
I would say that's a much improved report over last visits. 

Doctors visit-parasites, yeast, and mycoplasma are what I'm dealing with at the moment. Bacteria and heavy metals did no show up as significant through his testing. To me that means Lyme and Mercury aren't causing me any major issues right now, which makes me happy. Progress made.
I knew parasites and yeast would show up, I've been having itching and yeast rashes. No surprise there.
He found the parasites are affecting my brain, stomach, and heart. Which would explain my weird appetite changes, insomnia and brain fog, and contribute to my inability to exercise. 
He also found I have heart worms, which is relatively rare in humans according to Google. He gave me 3 remedies to take, two liquids he compounded with herbs and homeopathics, and a tablet called parazyme.

He also did some chiropractic work using the percussor on my rib cage. This is on of my favorites, whatever he does always makes my back so much less stiff and sore. When he's done I don't feel so frozen from the tight muscles in my back and abdomen.
I do what I can to keep my muscles loose, oils and magnesium, stretching when I can, Epsom salt baths-it's just not the same.

Therapies-sauna, Q laser, lux, st-8, PEMF(new!), massage, and beamer. 

At the end of the day I was satisfied with my results. I felt well, but extremely fatigued. I managed to sleep very hard last night( praise the Lord!) and actually woke up before I had to this morning. I did not get to sleep earlier than usual though.
I'll take it, sleeping hard and waking up without major struggle is a battle in itself.

Therapies Explained:Part Two

A month ago I wrote an explanation to some of the therapies they used on me at the Hansa Center. The first part of this post included the more major therapies like the infrared sauna and the ST8. This post will discuss the more minor (yet still vital) therapies.

PowerPlate-The powerplate is a vibrating device used for exercise. The high vibrations stimulate the muscles and increase circulation throughout the body. It is great for exercise purposes, the vibration is a workout. The short time I would have to do this was more so for opening up the cold stagnant muscle tissue, not for building muscle.
This was one of the lower priority treatments, I did it every other day for five minutes.

Bemer-This is specifically used for circulation and oxygenation. It is used to speed healing in the cells. While laying on the mat they would have us drink an electrolyte drink for hydration.
I'll be honest, I do not know much about this one. We all typically do it twice a day here for 8 minutes.
Here is the website for more info

Q-Laser-The Q-laser is used to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. I would use this daily and on a different place each treatment (I.e heart, liver, gallbladder, kidney, ears). The laser can penetrate deep in the skin to reduce the inflammation and speed the healing process. Those of us Lyme patients have severly stressed out detox organs, so this device is good for providing an extra boost.
Here is the website for Q-Laser(not the same as Q switching laser)


I know this post isn't as exciting as the original, that's why it took a month to write it. I would like to stress that all of the treatments are important and play a role with eachother by boosting a specific part of the body.

Enjoy! Next on my to-do list is explaining my supplements.

Seventh Treatment Day

I am about to finish my seventh day of treatment here at the center. After talking with the doctor I am very excited for tomorrow. He said we will be getting more into the crystalline matrix of the body and light. This is something that has always fascinate me but I don't know too much about it.

Today- The doctor worked on my spine and rechecked what he did on Friday to make sure it stuck. My balance and shoulders were good. The muscles in my legs and pelvis needed some work.
He also found my mitochondria are low, so he did some further tests to see what my body wanted for that. When he finished with this my muscles were noticeable stronger. He also added a few remedies to bring up mitochondria function. Which in turn will control how well my muscles will be able to hold adjustments.

Another thing I wanted to mention, during his testing he found two Bach flower remedies my body wanted. Both of these were for emotional trauma, emotional darkness, and fear. This came as a shock sorta, I knew I had some form of trauma but I didn't think much of it. It really doesn't bother me except for rare occasion like Sunday...
I wonder if this will

Therapies-ST8, sauna, massage, LUX, Bemer 2x, and laser(ears).

Fourth Day at the Clinic

The fourth day with the doctor went well. At this appointment he looked over my head and neck. He used cranio sacral therapy on my skull.
That was very interesting, I have heard of I before but never actually seen it done. The skull is made out of many plates, the muscles that hold the plates can get tight and stop the plates from shifting like they should. This therapy loosens up the muscles and allows the plates to move again.
The doctor used this device called a percussor, it pushes the muscles into releasing using vibrations.
He also used it up and down my left arm (here's why) to breakup scar tissue. Scar tissue blocks energy from flowing around the body.
If anything, it felt good afterwards. All of the areas with excess scar tissue would itch afterwards for a few minutes. Kinda interesting.

Therapies-st8, massage, LUX, q-laser, Bemer 2X, powerplate, and infrared sauna

Anyway, that was the bulk of yesterday's doctors visit.
Overall still feeling well, but all of the therapies are exhausting. Certainly looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow!

The Third Day

Yesterday was my third day here at the Hansa Center.
It went well. These therapies are truly making a difference. Today I have significantly more energy than usual! I love it.
At the moment my nose is still running some from the sinus infection I contracted the Monday before Christmas and I still cough, but it's dying out. Whatever this infection is that has been so hard to why rid of is slowly going away. I especially notice a difference after doing the St8. So something in that combo of remedies is knocking it down and bringing me up.

Anyway, on to yesterday.
The doctor primarily worked on my muscles, using the precusor to get the fascia to loosen up. My right knee was really locked up for some reason. It started the evening before the muscles all around my knee just felt tight. After he used the precusor on the fascia and a few essential oils on my spine it loosened back up. Very quickly at that.

So far my therapies are similar each day, since toxins are the primary issue my body has to handle they try to be consistent.
They had me do the ST8, LUX, Q laser, infrared sauna, and Bemer 2X. I did not have a massage yesterday like I had been, that's the biggest change I think.

After treatment yesterday I rested for about half an hour. Felt much better after laying down and what was amazing is I had energy up until I feel asleep. I didn't have enough energy or motivation to try something like working out but it was probably the closest I've been to it in months. My sleep has not been consistent since arriving in Kansas. The whole changing beds and changing states throws me off more than usual. Last night was a normal night for me, I was up until about 3:00 AM maybe later. If I have energy during the day to get what I need done, I'm fine with staying awake. When my body is ready for sleep-it will sleep. The detoxing and supplements will all play a role in this. Today the doctor used cranial sacral therapy on my head and neck, that will even play a role in my sleep patterns.
It's all a cumulative effect. One therapy will affect another, in the end the goal is to bring the body into a balance where it once again can maintain itself.

Therapies: Explained

I have had several different therapies since I started at the Hansa Center. Most of them are NOT common and you probably haven't heard of them before. I sure hadn't heard of most of these before I started.
I am going to provide a link to each therapy, these are all to complex for me to explain entirely. In fact I am still learning about them myself. I am not going to write about each therapy I have already done, that would just be so much for you guys to take in. I'm here learning about it from the staff and it's a lot to take in!

ST8-This therapy is focused on the lymphatic system. It is used to clean out the lymph nodes and make lymph fluid more fluid. When the body is unable to warm itself(which is every chronically ill person) the lymph fluid becomes thick and no longer flows like it needs to. The lymphatic system is the system in our body that takes care of toxins and pathogens. When the lymphatic system cannot function, the immune system fails.
More on the ST8

LUX light therapy-This is a unique therapy in my opinion. Out of all of the therapies I feel like this one would make the most sense on paper, but actually using it wouldn't make much of a difference. I am glad to say this is not the case.
Light therapy works off of the principle that all of our body systems use light. Bio photons are what our body systems use to communicate. Bio photon is a fancy way to say light. Each of our organs uses a different set of frequencies which we see as colors.
In example, lets say the liver uses primarily indigo light. Using indigo light can provide the liver with the bio photons it needs to function.
I have done this every day so far. It really does make a difference in how I feel, I didn't expect that.
More info on LUX

Infrared Sauna-This one is my favorite. It is used to warm the body and bring up the core body temperature. This part alone is great for viruses and bacteria, the increased temperature will slow down the growth of pathogens. When our bodies can no longer keep a normal temperature that is warm enough, the immune system becomes dysfunctional. A cold body is the perfect environment for viruses to grow.
The near, mid, and far infrared rays also provide a unique set of benefits on top of the heat. Each set of frequencies have their own benefits. All together they are great for removing toxins from deep inside the tissue, especially heavy metals.
Here at the Hansa Center they use a Sunlighen Infrared Sauna.
The Hamsa Center posted a YouTube video recently with speakers from Sunlighen talking about how their product works. I will warn you, it is a long video but it is packed with information!!


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.
