Most Effective Protocol Yet

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share what has helped me the most - I have shared this info through video format. There are a hand full of very effective remedies we can use to help eradicate the Lyme from our systems (and other co-infections that go along with it) and that help heal our cells and heal the "path of destruction" that the Lyme has left behind - this protocol is, by far, the most effective thing I've used.

I have come to believe that one of the reasons why we "Lymies" have a hard time recovering is not only because the Lyme are so tricky to deal with - hiding away and breeding away in cyst form when they feel threatened - but I believe that those who have been dealing with Lyme on a chronic level have cells that no longer function like they should.

I wish I could shout this protocol from the roof tops to all people who have struggled with Lyme as I have. If you haven't found an answer yet to your Lyme - please give this a chance.

Here's my Lyme story:




Here's the Lyme Protocol - 5 simple supplements to kill the pathogens and heal the cells.



You can purchase the remedies I talked about from the links below:

Asea Solution

Liquid Light Minerals

Moringa Powder

ACZ Nano

Vitamin D3 - or get a less expensive vitamin D3 from your health food store. Just make sure you're taking some. Dr. Mercola and other doctors I trust suggest taking at least 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day. Those who are deficient in vitamin D3 usually need to take at least 10,000 IU per day for a week and then go to using 5000 IU on a regular basis.

I don't post on this blog much anymore - my efforts have been focused on not only helping support and give advice to Lyme sufferer's everywhere but in helping people prepare for what's to come. You can visit my Healthy Preparedness blog here.

My Recommended Protocol

I have many people, from around the country, contacting me asking me what I did to overcome Lyme. I have tried more remedies, advice and suggestions than I can count but after 7 years of battling the Lyme I can look back and pin point what remedies made the biggest difference and it's those remedies I share with whomever may come across my blog in this post.

But first off, aside from trying a myriad of remedies (some of which, never really did anything), there's one thing I realize I did perfectly.

I never gave up.

I fought and fought and fought the Lyme to the end. I was determined to live a full life. I was determined to raise my four precious children. I was determined to win the fight - to win my silent battle against the persistent army of evil critters that raged inside my deteriorating body.

Oh, the path is arduous, fairly expensive and seemingly endless but there is an end to this madness and your life can be restored.

(Note: I never used prescription antibiotics - for chronic lyme patients one would need to be on antibiotics for 6-18 months. Seeing as how our digestive system makes up 80% of our immune system (which is exactly what we're trying to restore here) and long term antibiotics are destructive to the digestive system - it isn't exactly the best path to take.

Will it take a shorter amount of time for the natural remedies to heal the body than prescription antibiotics? No. But, in the end, they build our bodies and they restore our body with the ability it was designed to do from the get go - the ability to heal itself and be whole once again.

Here's the protocol I came up with for myself (visual can be found at the end of the post):

1. Cavitation Check:

This is huge and shouldn't be missed. Find a holistic dentist that knows what "cavitations" are (and knows how to treat them) and find out if this is what is pounding down your immune system. This was a biggie for me and has been for other lyme patients. I went to Dr. Wall in Bountiful Utah. He's by far one of the best dentists in the U.S.

If this problem exists - you'll always fall back down to ill health. In fact one Lymie whose testimonial I saw on a video said that everything turned around for him after getting the cavitations fixed and having a few vitamin C IV's after that.

2. West Clinic

If you're situation is rather dire - get yourselves to the West Clinic in Pocatello Idaho as soon as you can.

In the beginning, hit the Lyme hard with IV treatments - go for a week at a time every other week or once a month (or whatever they're recommending for your situation).

3. At-Home Treatments - (here we go...)

In between IV treatments treat yourself at home. The lyme is constantly trying to take over so we have to constantly fight back. But fighting back isn't the only thing we need to do. There are three efforts we need to make:

1. Fight / kill the lyme bacteria and all other infections (diagnosed, realized or not) that come with it.
2. Heal the "path of destruction" the lyme has caused in the body.
3. Detox.

Here's what I recommend based on what helped me the most.

Circulating "Antibiotcs":

Lypo C: I took Livon Labs Lypospheric vitamin C in between IV visits. If you can't afford IV treatments, use at least 1-3 packets of the lypo C every day. Hit your body hard with it for a week by taking 10 or more packets a day then switch it out with one of the other remedies below.

Purchase Lypo C from Natural Healthy Concepts (free shipping, great service). One treatment of IV vitamin C can pump 50 grams of vitamin C into one's body - that's about 25 packets of lypo C in one day. I have found that using 2-5 every few hours works best (instead of taking all 10 or so at once).

Essential Oils: Without a doubt, essential oils need to be used. They're incredibly powerful and were the main "antibiotics" for my protocol. Super powerful. Super effective. I used the oils, in capsules, every day for months. I do recommend circulating these with other natural forms of antibiotics as well (I've listed them below) but take these as needed for what you feel your body needs. I took 3 drops of oregano, thyme, clove, cassia and melissa oils, three times a day (or more sometimes). I'd highly recommend using Doterra oils - they are the best I've found out there.

Here's a video of Dr. Hill explaining in detail why these oils work for the Lyme.

ASAP Colloidal Silver: The bacteria need to be "tricked" quite often seeing as how they can adapt and grow "immune" to the remedies they are being pounded with. Taking high doses of ASAP colloidal silver for a week at a time every 5-6 weeks or so will hit the lyme every time.

GSE: Grapefruit Seed Extract is known, in the health world, as one of the best natural antibiotics out there. I would take 10-15 drops 3-5 times a day, in a capsule. This would be rotated as I felt was needed - I usually took it 1 week at a time, every six weeks or so as a rotated it with other remedies.

Aged Garlic Gelcaps: Garlic is another well known natural antibiotic in the health food world. I took up to 8 of these pills at a time 3-5 times a day.

Lugol's Iodine: Iodine was one of the first antibiotics man developed and it was less destructive to the body than the antibiotics we have today. It's one to consider turning to and using. I used up to 8 drops a few times a day. Do your own research on this one. It's one we should be careful with. There are a handful of books out there about iodine and how it can be safely used as an antibiotic. Here are a couple of articles I liked: The Guide to Supplementing with Iodine & Iodine Remdies: Secrets from the Sea.

Herbs: There are herbal remedies out there such as Cat's Claw/ Samento or Japanese Knotweed but I never really had much success with them or felt like they were kicking the problem. Others have had success with them though so I thought I'd list them anyway.

Anti-Inflammatory:

Turmeric Supplement / Curcumin: I took a turmeric capsule whenever body pains were coming on and it helped to alleviate those.

MSM: Reduces inflammation - used this off and on as well.

Detoxing:

Elderberry Supplement / Tea: As a chronic "Lymie" our immune system has been taxed for so long that after years of dealing with this underlying infection and then being hit with one or more big stressors in our life - our immune system gives and within a matter of months or maybe a year we're left wondering what on earth is happening to our body.

Our immune system has run kaput and can't keep the Lyme at bay. It's in need of help and elderberry, unlike echinacea, can be taken on a continual basis and increases the body's production of cytokines which helps the immune system respond to disease and infection.

Ginger Tea: Drinking ginger tea not only helps to eliminate toxins but heals the digestive system as well. It's a wonderful remedy to turn to and drink every day. Make a big batch and keep it in the fridge for up to a couple weeks.

Sauna: Without a doubt, saunas are a must. Raising your body temperature not only kills off pathogens but it triggers the immune system to work as well. I purchased a portable sauna for $130 off of amazon and used it 3-5 times a week for up to 30 minutes. I always felt better the next day after doing a sauna.

Bentonite Clay: Every once in a while, when I felt I needed it, I began drinking liquid clay, on a daily basis, separate from my remedies, to help cleanse ... well, everything. I had some really amazing cleansing reactions from doing this. I have an article about bentonite clay here. In short, it pulls positively charged pathogens/toxins from your body, cleanses your blood, re-mineralizes and alkalizes one's body.

"Liquid Clay" directions: mix 1 part powdered bentonite clay to 9 parts water. Keep mixture in fridge. Pour 3 ounces mixed into glass of water 2-3 times a day, before a meal. Take a fiber supplement with it if it backs you up.

Baths: Alternate between bentonite clay baths and magnesium baths.

Bentonite clay bath directions: Mix one cup of powdered bentonite clay with 4-5 cups of water in blender. Blend. Pour into bath tub filled with warm water. Stay in tub for no longer than 30 minutes.

Magnesium baths: Pour 1-2 cups of epsom salt into bath tub filled with warm water. Stay in tub for 30 minutes.

Zeolite: Never used this but have read too many good things about it to not mention it here. Wish I knew about this while I was herxing.

Exercise: Exercising not only helps oxygenate the cells but it helps get the lymph system going and the blood circulating - which are all important steps to the healing process with Lyme. Understandably, you probably won't have very much energy ... at all. But get light exercise in when you can even if it's for 30 seconds, 10 times a day.

Liver Detox:

Herbal Liver Detox Supplement: One reason why we're so sick is because our liver's are extremely taxed and "congested". We need to support the liver by helping to support it and cleanse it. There are plenty of herbal liver cleanse remedies out there.

Lemon Essential Oil: A few drops of lemon essential oil dropped into your drinking water a few times a day is a great way to help support and cleanse the liver on a daily basis.

Andreas Moritz's Liver Cleanse: This cleanse is not for the faint of heart ... or faint of body. It's a toughy but I had some amazing results with it. Andreas' book explains how to do this cleanse and why it's important - it's up to you though whether you choose to do such a cleanse. An herbal remedy cleanse along with the lemon essential oil may be all that you need.

Healing the Digestive System:

Probiotics: Taking probiotics, on a daily basis, is a must. Liquid form, from the health food store is best. Don't worry so much about which ones your taking just take! and take every day.

Aloe Very Juice: Drinking 4-8 ounces of aloe vera juice is incredibly healthy to the body and the overall immune system and it's always so refreshing. I loved having this around.

Other:

Diet: No sugar or gluten for a while. Sugar feeds the bacteria. Only good fats: Extra virigin olive oil, plenty of coconut oil, and grapeseed oil. Our cells need good fats to "breathe". Not too many starchy foods. Lots of veggies. Aside from the soy foods, Dr. Weil's chart is a good anti-inflammatory diet.

Other Important supplements:

Selenium

Magnesium

D3

B's

A good, sugar free, supplement containing all minerals and vitamins one's body needs.

Doing a juice fast once a day every week. Kale, carrots, green apple, bit of fresh ginger, celery and collard. It requires a lot of energy for the body to digest food - especially when the body is already in a weakened state. Have one day in the week where you give your body a break from food and flood it with nothing but life-supporting nutrients.

Skirting Freedom

This recent photo says SO much. Really, I was just being silly. 

But even just the fact that I was being silly says so much. If ya know what I mean.

I have felt ready to live. Ready to take on the world. Ready to fly. Ready to have fun. Ready to be less serious. Ready to take life in.

For instance, I went grocery shopping. I had been out shopping, by myself, for three hours and would gleefully giggle while wearing this silly large grin as I pushed my packed cart to the car ... caring very little what other's might be thinking about me.

What's different in this situation than the past?

A) I went grocery shopping. Period.
B) I went alone. (For a couple of years, I couldn't do this alone. Body was too weak mind couldn't think straight.)
C) I was out shopping - for hours.
D) I was out shopping for hours - and felt happy, giddy, and energetic at the end of it all.
E) I was aware of other's around me, of life, of things, of ... shopping!

Life has been different. I'm sillier. I'm annoyingly energetic. I've taken on teaching a variety of classes. I've selected the college I want to go to to obtain my Naturopathic Doctor degree and am ready to tackle it.

Life is good.

It was only one year ago that I began getting the treatments in Pocatello. It was only one year ago I knew I had months left to live.

One small year. So close to exiting this world.

What's changed?

The IV treatments did wonders. The lypo C did wonders. The essential oils did wonders. They brought me to a good point but I've started a new treatment protocol. It requires 1 to 1 1/2 hours of my time every evening. But it gifts me with life the next day and will, one day, be something I won't have to do at all.

I'm still not completely better. There are issues that need addressing outside of the Lyme but I feel free to live life.

And am feeling ... goooood!

Treatments 23-27

Well after that visit with my dear friends we went again about a month later - for another two treatments. After having spoken with Dr. Levy (vitman C guru and author of Curing the Incurables), Dr. J upped the vitamin C dosage. It wiped me out more than usual but I was happy to have boosted what I normally get.

I must say however, that I never really felt relief from symptoms like I normally did after those treatments. It was kind of frustrating.

About a month after that time I went in again - kind of as an emergency visit. I was fighting something off and was so incredibly weak and foggy brained from it. I felt a bit better after the few treatments and the thing I was fighting off for so long was finally able to manifest itself (a sinus infection).

After this visit to the clinic I began taking doTERRA's lyme disease protocol (using a particular line of essential oils to hit the Lyme bacteria in just the right way). AND I started taking this amazing new vitamin C called Lypo Spheric Vitamin C.

Apparantly, even according to Dr. Levy, this vitamin C is superior to receiving IV vitamin C. The body uses 100% of this vitamin C due to the vitamin C particles being encapsulated with liposomes/phospholipids which then, once ingested, is used by the body differently and is brought straight to the blood and to the cells.

Well, I was taking 7000mg of this vitamin C and doing the doTERRA protocol - and suddenly, it hit: the biggest Lyme die-off I've ever had.

Now, I've experienced die off. I've watched videos of other people experiencing full blown die off and never thought I'd experience such a thing. But I did ... arms and legs having spasms, joints feeling full of pressure, muscles twitching everywhere and that feeling! The most dreadful part of it all - a feeling so consuming, throughout my whole body as if the Lyme bacteria were taking on a life of its own and completely overtaking my body - it's terrible.

When a person sees a Lyme patient having die off they see the physical part of it - the twitching and jerking and the look of misery on a persons face but no one can understand the inner turmoil going on throughout the whole body's system unless one has experienced it. It is unreal!

It was hard, taxing, crazy - but I got through it and am happy that I can continue taking these supplements that are making a difference in my body. It took me a few days to recover from that episode but I felt SO much better after that.

I'm also super happy about the Lypo Vitamin C because it's such a wonderful and powerful supplement to keep in food storage and use for my family.

I'm currently experimenting with creating my own Lypo Spheric Vitamin C.

We shall see if I'm successful!

Treatments 17 - 22

I ended up going to the clinic just for one more treatment about a month after my last post. I must have been fighting something off because that treatment wiped me out for 2 weeks! But I recovered after that and was stabilizing.

I spent this last Monday through Thursday at the clinic with a couple friends of mine. I love them dearly. One of them had bladder cancer and still has some low white blood cells that she wants to see go back to normal and the other friend has Fibromyalgia and a handful of other issues that she is so desperately wanting to recover from.

We had a great time together! Some of our adventures were as follows:

* On our way there a car driving behind us suddenly lost its tire and quickly steered off the side of the freeway sending dust flying everywhere. The tire bounced across the opposite side of traffic and it just so happened that a police car witnessed this on the other side of the freeway and quickly went into action to help that person. What a blessing that the car didn't lose complete control and that the cop just happened to be there exactly when it happened! Amazing.

* Shirene working her "magic" and getting us the room we wanted/needed. When we got there we had been put in a tiny room that didn't even have a fridge or microwave. Shirene has outstanding communication skills and worked that skill to get us what we needed. In the end we got a spacey room with that fridge and microwave we were in need of, a fridge that was thoroughly clean, and a table with four working legs.

*  We were frightened to death a couple of times because the pot Amber was using to melt the cheese on her spelt bread was creating a lot of smoke (we had an indoor cooker) and we were worried that it'd set off the fire alarm - that'd be bad!- but with a lot of waving paper plates around, covering the top of the pot and opening the front door we managed to avoid the fire alarm from going off.

*  Shirene was a pro. once it comes to a particular Niacin treatment but on the third day Amber and I were given the Niacin treatment for the first time and had a great time of it. Our bodies burned like they were severely sunburned and our faces and skin turned bright red. Amber couldn't even talk to me without breaking out in a hardy laugh - my abnormally red face was too big of a distraction for a little chat. It was super funny.

*  Then came our adventure with a sinus treatment they did for me. They did an ozone injection treatment into my sinuses which bloated out my face so badly (which is totally normal) that I looked like I either took up professional boxing as a profession or I had a severe allergic reaction to something. I knew what room Shirene was in so I went and showed her how I looked. She just did an intense gasp and said, "did it hurt?" and didn't quite know what to say. But I just laughed. Next I showed Amber who also gasped in horror but then laughed with me as I darn near had a complete laugh attack and hid my face under a blanket. It was seriously funny.

*   However, seeing as how my body isn't as strong as it used to be, about an hour later, I went to get a drink and suddenly felt that I couldn't move. My body was wigging out. An attack was coming on. Amazingly (due to the goodness of God) as I kneeled on the ground and began to cry while thinking "Oh, John where are you.? I need you here with me. Somebody help me." Amber just happened to come out of the IV room and said, "Are you crying?!" She helped me get up. One of the nurses came over as well and got me into another room.

My body shook, my muscles twitched and ached, my heart pounded like crazy and my strength was diminished. Lyme. It isn't fun. But I recovered after a short amount of time and felt ever so grateful that Amber was there to help during that breakdown.

Although we were all quite exhausted from our treatments we had such a great time. We talked until late into the night. Watched Crocodile Dundee until 11pm. Ate together. Did treatments together. Laughed together. Napped together. Allowed ourselves to be couch potatoes together (watching several series of Reba and Leverage). Strengthened one another. It was wonderful. I'm so grateful to have had that experience with them.

We have all made progress with our treatments at the clinic and time will prove that more and more. I was surprised to find myself having more energy than I've ever had as I got the treatments during those four days. I wasn't completely wiped out like I normally am. Thank goodness! That says a lot about the progress I'm making.

As for today - I'm experiencing some good die-off. It's hard going through it but it's comforting to know that things are working and moving and changing.

I am so blessed by Heavenly Father and look forward to complete healing so that I can, more consistently, be the mother, wife, sister and aunt I want and need to be.

An Unexpected Gift.

I received a gift in the mail today. Call it a little miracle. Call it a completely unselfish act on the part of someone I may or may not know. Call it what you may. It was a gift - a gift I do not take lightly and am ever so grateful for.

Thank you to whomever gifted me with another round of treatments. I feel beyond grateful ... I feel humbled.

Thank you.

Treatments 14, 15 & 16

About 1 1/2 weeks after the week long treatment, I went for another 3 days of treatments. (We just got back today.) We decided to make a trip of it with our kids and so we brought them along, stayed in a 2 bedroom hotel and tried to make it a fun event. They got to swim three different times which made it totally worth it for them.

The kids got to see the clinic and watch as they stuck me with the the IV needle and drew out some of my blood for the ozone and light machine treatment. I think it was good for them to see what has been being done to help their mama. It was also fun to see some people I've made friends with over the last couple of months and have my kids meet them as well.

After the second treatment, on the first day, I crashed a bit. I slept from 6pm until 7:30am. And felt that I could have slept a whole other day if I didn't have to get up for another round of treatments. However, the second day's treatments gave me a bit of an energy boost.

We went home after the treatment on the second day where I still felt pretty tired. I'm now anxiously awaiting to see what improvements will take place from here on out.

So onward and upward from here on out. I love the West Clinic. My (new) life long dream is to find a way to get people who are sick and ill and get them over to the West Clinic - their expenses would be paid and their trip be made as smooth and relaxing as possible.

So many people are there that can barely pay for their visits. So many can't afford to go at all. I wish that wasn't so. Money should not hold people back from getting well - I want to be able to help.

It was so nice seeing some of the people I'm closest to - some of those that I pray for every night. I want so badly for them to completely recover. It amazes me to see the progress they've already made.

When I first saw Nancy, she had a feeding tube and was still fairly weak. Her husband took her from a hospital where, after a long stay there, her stomach having shut down and she being in a non-coherent state, the doctors shrugged their shoulders at them and told him to take Nancy and go home.


Knowing that she only had maybe a week left to live, her husband, being desperate to have his sweet little wife live, brought her to the West Clinic not quite sure of their "strange" ways of going about treating people. He brought her there anyway as one last ditch effort to get his wife to live.

A few months later she's alive, walking, talking, functioning. What almost killed her? Chronic Lyme and parasites in her blood, mainly. Oh I love being able to visit with her! It's been 6 months now and she's doing so much better.

The next person is Gayle. She also has Lyme and some other issues. She and I have symptoms that are quite like one another. I've loved being able to visit with her . She lights up my day every time I see her. How a woman, who has struggled for so long, still keeps that twinkle in her eye and smile on her face is a wonder to me! I'm so glad I've met her. And I'm so happy that her symptoms are disappearing. 

 I'm so grateful that the West Clinic exists not only because it's saving my life but because it's saved the lives of people, such as these wonderful women, as well.
