It's been over a month

Well, I've been home over a month now since my last round of treatments.
I have some good things to report!

My energy is holding up, not perfect but I'm working and going through college with minimal struggle. Some days my energy is low and needs to be boosted, this is usually when the oils come in. The oils do help, and they are convenient.

Another breakthrough recently-the week before last I stopped sleeping again, worse than normal. I spoke to my ND, he gave me a bottle of L-theanine to try out. It's actually helping! I'm getting to sleep maybe an hour earlier depending on the night, but I'm sleeping harder. I'm having dreams and waking up on my own at a decent hour now. Another side affect of the theanine is more focus. It's actually helping me focus better when I'm reading and working, which is huge. That's been a hard symptom to adjust in the past, but this seems to be helping.
I first started at a high dose, 7-8 pills.  But Ive only been on it a week and I am doing fine on just 1-2 pills now that I've built it up in my system.

But overall I am doing well, I have been having random bouts of depression on my fatigued days. I would like to see how that will change now that I am sleeping a little bit better.

Treatment days 4/5

I am so sorry, I just forgot totally about my blog :(
I dropped the ball and forgot to write out days 4-5. This past visit to the center was fantastic, I made great strides! But while I was at the clinic I stayed beat, 8 felt worn out the whole time. Most days after treatment I would hit the couch and stay there until dinner. I felt well, just no excess energy.

Okay, cliff notes of day 4 and 5-
The doctor added in a remedy for my stomach, to remove some emotional trauma suppressing enzyme production. He also did the neurophotinic therapy on me again (day5). The first time I did this therapy I had to take several homeopathics to correct missconnections in my system, this time there were only a few.
The doctor said I shouldn't need to see him for 6 months!! When I go back it will be a short visit instead of a full week. 


Since leaving the clinic-
I feel great. I'm in college and working, something I couldn't have done before. It would have had to be either school or work, not both. I'm still experiencing more brain fog than I would like, studying can be extremely difficult sometimes. Energy and pain are well, there's been very few days I've totally felt run down! Sleep is still unchanged, not surprised because nothing has ever affected my sleep positively. 
Exercise is iffy, I can't do a workout. But on a day I feel like I have excess energy to expend, a few push-ups or something will not leave me shaking or in pain the rest of the day. If anything it's a move in the right direction.

This last visit has honestly been the best. It went by in a whirlwind, but the progress made in 5 days was astounding.
Day 1 was the worst, I had no energy, no brain power, all I wanted was to stay on the couch. Day 2/3 were a total shift. I was still tired the whole week, but I felt alive haha

Treatment Day 3

Day three went by so fast...I just realized I hadn't even given my short post.

Doc-he found parasites. Specifically fish tapeworms and rabbit tapeworm eggs. He made a remedy for the parasites and for their toxic affects on me. The doctor also did more work on my back, as usual.
Therapies-Same as always

I am feeling great. The amount I turn around here is astounding to me. I mean I can't just hop out of the chair and do jumping jacks, but I'm fine with that. I'm not in pain, I am able to eat just fine, my spine and all of my muscles are loose and useable, my nose isn't draining, my brain is working. How many people get to go to their doctor, when treated for Lyme, leave feeling better? How many of you raise your hand when I ask, do you feel worse from a herx? I would bet everyone in conventional chronic disease treatment has had some herxing.

I don't know. I am just glad to say I feel good. I don't have a bummed or depressed feeling either. It's just all is well right now

Hansa Round 3 day 2

Yesterday was another productive day here at the center. I had the CRT test first thing in the morning. This test checks the temperature changes in the organs which further denotes malfunction. If something is out of range it will show if the organ is hyper or hypo active.

Doctors report-He worked on my spine, neck, and head with the percussor to free up fixations. I wish this is something I could do weekly, I nearly always get instant results and I physically feel better.
CRT results showed my body systems and organs have gained a significant amount of strength since last time, he said it was one of the better reports he's seen. When I first came here in January my liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and thyroid were under active, significantly. This time around my thyroid is much better, it could even be slightly over active. So that will be in my watchlist for this week and the future to make sure it doesn't become a new problem(though it is doubtful). My liver and gallbladder are working fine according to the CRT, when I first came in I would get liver and gallbladder pain, not bad but it was building. Gone.
My kidneys are the only one that got worse, they are showing more strain. This seems to be stemming from a detoxification overload on them. No big deal at this time, the parasites toxic overload that is being resolved should resolve the kidney strain. 

He said lower jaw looks good, colon is good. I still have sinus irritation(which I knew) and that is irritating my gut(knew that too). So he gave me remedies to knock out these allergies that are going on. My nose has been draining a lot less since I started this remedy yesterday-it's awesome.

He also used an oil on my back called Raven. 

Therapies-same as always, Q laser, sauna, Beamer 2x, st-8, lux, massage, PMF, a head magnet(new to me), and powerplate.

I felt better yesterday than I did Monday, still tired and mentally fatigued

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.

Before Treatment update

Hello you all, I know it's been a little bit since I've said anything. No news is good news, this time.

I go back to Kansas for treatment soon, which I am looking forward to. This visit has the potential to be the last needed. I would love for it to be, but my guy feeling is that it won't be. 

This week I am trying to get back into juicing like I need to be. I have been doing smoothies, which is good. But I really do need to step it up a bit. Every time I juice consistently I feel significantly better, without fail. 
One thing that makes me think, is it the detoxing from juicing that makes me more alive or is it the nutrition.
I know I don't eat much, my stomach doesn't allow it. Too much food makes me nauseas and bloated(still). 

In a last post I had mentioned my kidney pain had taken off again. I drank an herbal tea for a week, which had almost gotten rid of it. The pain stopped, then came back worse. So I made up another herbal remedy, and stuck to that a little longer which seemed to have finished off whatever that was. It may have been some kind of UTI, I didn't have any burning, just major side pains. If I thumped my back it felt almost like a bruise.
This will be making my list of question to ask the doctor when I get to Kansas.

Another recent thing to have popped up is yeast rashes. I had 1-2, around my hips that weren't bad. I noticed them but didn't think much, figuring maybe it's heat related. I have had a yeast rash around my stomach that comes and goes. I put coconut oil on it and it goes away, until I sway to far from my diet for to long-then it comes back to remind me junk food isn't doing me any favors.
But these rashes are more resistant to the coconut oil. Several rashes had appeared and grew before I started doing anything for them. Which was probably my first mistake. 
Yesterday I started to crack down on them, rubbing in coconut oil with a couple essential oils to soothe the itching that has started. Today I did even more. Maybe tomorrow they will begin to sway...

In the past my stomach rash would disapear after diligently rubbing coconut oil on it. Though each time the rash has come back it's been more resistant to the coconut oil, which can't be a good sign.

Other than this I have been doing well. Fatigue isn't at its worst, neither is insomnia. The night before last I went to sleep at a resonable hour, which felt fantastic by the way.
I am hoping this is the beginning of many more restful nights asleep. I still feel like I have a significant ways to go...but I do enjoy the improvement.

I would say since my last visit to my doctor I have had some of the most extreme ups and downs...

Resolving the Situation

Guess what guys, only a few weeks before I go back to the Hansa Center! I am excited to go back and further my treatment. Each visit to the clinic has brought me to a better place physically and mentally. I still struggle with symptoms in between visits, so I will for sure be talking to my doctor about what to do. I will be treated for a week(5days) just like my last visit in April,

Anyway, I am glad to say this week has been so much better than last week. The last few weeks I haven't felt so hot, and I've had the gloom and doom thoughts. It all eventually manifested into another symptom, kidney pain. My kidneys began hurting again, at the same time all of my other symptoms skyrocketed.
When this occurred, it hit me-I can do something about this. Back around November my ND found I had a minor UTI, which manifested as side pain. They gave me a bag of herbs to make tea out of and it worked out well. My pain stopped after drinking the tea for a week.
So last week I made myself another batch of tea. I can't remember all of the ingredients, I know the tea contains marshmallow root and uva ursi. I made up the tea and drank 8oz twice a day. Hallelujah, a few days later I'm starting to feel my normal again. The doom and gloom disappeared, my skin even began clearing up.

Now after going through a pitcher of tea, I'm doing very well. The first three days of this week I spent over an hour outside laying in the sun. I know my vitamin D levels are low, it's been a while since I spent significant time outdoors. The heat will also help my joints, which are often cold.
I believe this has given me a little bit of an edge, since starting sun bathing my sugar cravings went away. It's not normal for me to crave junk food, but recently I have wanted more and more of the nasty foods. Maybe Candida is flairing.
I also have a small, quarter sized, yeast rash on my hip. So I suspect maybe my kidney infection/UTI (whatever it was) was yeast related. Just a thought.

Yesterday and today I exercised a little, it wasn't much but it sure made me happy. My body loves to reject any tiny physically straining, so a little weight lifting and stretching feels amazing when my body allows. My joins are less tight and cold and my back is more limber now, I love it.
In total I exercised 5-7 minutes both days, I pray this can become a regular part of my health routine.

I'm glad to have something positive to write for a change!!
