Jenna’s Lyme Blog

Throughout the ups and downs of the disease, the internet has been my salvation – allowing me to get support from other sufferers and eventually allowing me to extend a helping hand too.

The beautiful silver lining of this horrible disease is the wonderful friendships that are forged through the shared experience of Lyme that has been made possible through this blog and through a handful of forums I participate in.

Some people are still able to work with their disease, but due to the extent of my pain and weakness, I have been bedridden for much of four years and have struggled to find ways to earn money on the internet.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, big companies pay individuals and small companies with websites or blogs (or through emails) affiliate commissions on their products.

Advice from Web sites and chat rooms usually does not apply to you. No two people are ever to be treated the same. To seek advice on the Internet is a concern of most physicians and healers. Sometimes you can find mature balanced support from those who are healthy, but not new advanced and solid credible information for your medical care. Many leaders in tick-infection medicine report they are quoted incorrectly, and that the information is often wrong, sometimes dangerous and wastes time and money.

Tick and flea-borne infections cause isolation. They ruin relationships due to resulting fogginess, poor insight, depression, various addictions, rage, extreme hostility – even violence – and refusal to get treatment. Bartonella is likely the worst offender, but Lyme and Babesia and their die-offs can also increase these problems. Isolation leads to decreased treatment options. It can ultimately lead to divorce and the loss of family relationships and friendships. This, in turn, leads to decreased resources and support while ill. Isolated humans, as Mother Teresa often said, are the poorest beings on earth.

The reason Vitamin C was chosen for such an important Lyme fighting role is that Vitamin C is truly a nutrient extraordinaire. Research abounds to show that vitamin C is a key vital substance required for many fundamental processes in the body, including the biosynthesis of collagen, the activation of the fat-transporting molecule, carnitine; it assists in the manufacture of the hormones adrenaline and cortisone; it acts as an electron transporter in many enzymatic reactions; it helps protect the integrity of blood vessels; it is a promoter of healthy gums, an important factor in radiation protection, a regulator of cholesterol levels, a free radical detoxifier and an immune-specific, boosting agent.

Lyme Disease sufferers need to be aware that having mercury poisoning and Lyme Disease at the same time can be a confusing, frustrating,scary experience.

We have ample evidence of the many ways in which we contract Lyme disease – and many ways which seem obvious but are very controversial.

Mercury poisoning is a different type of infection, and the methods for contracting mercury poisoning are incredibly varied.

Perhaps the top ways in which we are poisoned by mercury is from dental fillings.

With dental amalgams, mercury in vapor form is released when the teeth are ground together while chewing. This mercury is absorbed into blood and tissue–including the pituitary and hypothalamus glands. These two glands seem to play a part in FMS symptoms.

Salt & Apples has been updated due to the incredible popularity (and my numerous mistakes) – not to mention a new source for salt capsules that will save you money each month.

I tried to update Gold 360 by condensing the information, but after going over every word…I had to struggle from adding more information. I believe that every person suffering with any kind of illness should be on a regular dose of Gold 360, and I recommend reading the ebook several times to understand the remarkable synergy that has been reliable for over five thousand years!

Thus for about 30 min the deep tissue niches of borrelia such as brain stem, ligaments, and joints are assisted in fighting borrelia with increased temperatures. For this time and some time afterward as the body returns to its baseline temperature, the borrelia are exposed theoretically to 16 to 160 times as much antibiotic.
