MMS Update 2 Years 2 months & 1 week Today !!!







Hello all,

I am still here and I am still going strong!

The Blog has not been abandoned not at all. I have had a very busy month and now the days are getting darker here in the UK I am spending more time inside luckily the weather is still quite warm for this time of year compared to last year.

How have I been?

Well I have gone from strength to strength and in the past month I have also had to deal with a cold!
I have recovered from the cold in record time unlike last year.
Obviously my immune system has a better ability to cope.

Am I still taking the MMS?

Yes I am still taking the MMS and will continue for the foreseeable future.

How are my children?

They too are going from strength to strength and they too had the cold as well.
My eldest is getting so much better she is now attending a place of learning every day to do her GCSE's!
This is quite a milestone in itself because as with most if not all children who either contract the spirochete infection or are born with it they cannot have a productive learning career.

 Burn Out!

 It was a bit of a gamble for her to go to School as from my experience I would be fine for about a month on anything I embarked on bit then I would burn out and become disabled.

We hoped and prayed she would be alright and not have The Burn Out as I call it.

I am still waiting for my burn out as well and as of yet this has not happened either it's a bit like waiting for the other shoe to fall off so to speak.

I suppose having been ill most of my life it will take some time to adjust my brain to the fact that I am on a the healing and getting well path.

Needless to say I do not regret taking MMS not one bit.

Yes Lyme I have won I have beaten you!

MMS Update 24 months 2 Years & 2 weeks Today !!!!!





Hello all,

I have waited for this day it seems for a very long time but yes I have made it I have reached 2 years and 2 weeks of MMS treatment!

 

No doubt....


I am so happy I have managed 2 years at last and I am glad to say the MMS has worked without a doubt.

If people still doubt the efficiency of MMS and the safety well that is their own opinion but I can say I am still here and am getting better.

Yes I doubted at first of course that is perfectly natural but I had to override my doubts and fears because of all the scare stories plastered all over the net.

Well the drugs I was being prescribed were not doing me any good at all in fact they were causing more

harm than good.

MMS on the other hand was doing me good and my Children are also still here as well.

Top of the Mountain...


I had to climb a mountain metaphorically speaking, well it felt like climbing a mountain.

The mountain was a hard climb yes there were parts that I felt I was going to fall,

but I hang on in there.

 Been unwell longer than well...


I have had the Lyme/Spirochete infections for the majority of my life.

I was thinking I was well for the first 9 years from birth and had the infection for 30 years so in my mind really what is 2 years or more of taking MMS so that perhaps I can be well longer than when I was disabled and unwell?

2 or 5 or even 10 more years of taking MMS is more than worth it if it means in the end I will be well enough to not have to call myself disabled or unwell.

I am not in any way putting down disabled people in anyway not at all it takes courage and strength emotional strength when one is disabled.

But for all those who have become disabled because of a diagnoses of M.S or an autoimmune disease, those invisible illness's that many do not understand because the affects cannot always been seen by others and if you are not always in a wheelchair or using a cane many do not believe there is anything wrong with you.

I've been there oh boy have I ever yeah sometimes I would look well on the outside but oh so much was going on on the inside that people just could not see.

I am hoping this blog will help to show that there is a chance that perhaps it's all because of an infection just like Syphilis that can be treated all is not a dead end, like the dead end I reached when the medical profession just wrote me off or when I had written myself off.

Good day...


Yes I think this is a good day my 2 year mark wow!

Good Luck

Weight gain & Lyme part two








Hello all,

Today is a momentous day for me, I was finally able to fit into a pair of jeans!

Two years....

After two years of treating the Lyme/spirochete infections and having an extreme weight fluctuation from putting on a lot to loosing a lot it seems the weight fluctuation has now stopped and the swelling has ceased.


I have spent two years observing other people who are able to wear jeans with ease but for me this was not the case at all.

In a way I was quite envious but I knew deep in my heart of hearts after talking to others who had been taking antibiotics for five years or more yes the weight does stabilize and once one is clear of any infection the weight goes back to normal.

Happy...

I am so happy I am getting back to a normal weight and I am able to wear normal clothes like every one else.
Before I would try to put on some nice shoes and because of the swelling I would be crippled in pain and agony I would not be able to put any sort of shoe on other than trainers.

Today I was able to put on a pair of shoes other than trainers as well!

Keep Going...

All I can say is I shall keep on treating myself with MMS and going to Oxygen therapy I cannot say for how long but I shall keep updating.
Keep going with whatever treatment you have chosen to do it is worth it really it is.

Yes this is a momentous day for me that is for sure.

Stomach / GI problems and Lyme/Spirochete Infection


Hello all,

I thought I would look at Stomach/Gastrointestinal problems and Lyme/Spirochete infections.


Kick in the stomach

  

Lyme/Spirochete infections will/can  affect every organ in the body so I have found out from my own and

family members experience and my own research on the subject.

I have had my appendix removed because of Lyme/Spirochete infections.

My brother had to go on a specialized diet due to Spirochete infection (not that anyone knew at the time the cause of his stomach problems).

The doctors wanted to remove my gall bladder and my spleen (they did not thank goodness).

Yes the wonderful infections not only affect the brain, eyes, ears, throat but also it gets one in the stomach!

My stomach problems


As I have mentioned I had my appendix removed about 2 years after the Horse fly bite.
Now whether or whether not my appendix was due to rumble at the time that it did I am now pretty certain
it may not have if I had not of been infected by the Horse fly.

The reason I come to this conclusion is because the Spirochete infection affects every organ in the body,
well it has in my body at least, so it would stand to reason the appendix would get inflamed.

Career Change....


When I was 20 I got my first managerial job, how i managed to pass my course I will never know
but I did it.

The job was extremely stressful well the Catering industry is. Long hours little time to eat a proper meal,
constantly on your feet.

It was inevitable I was going to have a burn out and sure enough I had the ultimate burn out.
My back gave in, I mean I could not move and with this my stomach started to have extreme pain in my
stomach and I had a terrible heartburn feeling.

The Dr advised I should have a white food diet i.e. White rice, white fish, Chicken.
This was when I was told I had an ulcer and a problem with my spleen and gall bladder and they or one may have to be removed!
Funny how all of a sudden out of the blue my body started to fall apart from just my first job as a manager.
 The Doctor advised the job i was doing was too stressful and highly dangerous for me.

I had spent years studying at collage and acquired debts with being a student and then I was told i had
 chosen the wrong career all because my stomach and GI were not coping.

Needless to say i went down the homoeopathic route and yes gave up my career as a Hotel manager.
I did not have my spleen removed or Gall bladder either.

While Pregnant.....

When I was pregnant I suffered from terrible heartburn and reflux I drank bottle after bottle of antacid I was told "Oh quite normal, many pregnant women suffer from this"
I wonder now if a lot of my problems during my pregnancy were actually made worse than most due to the Spirochete infection i would say now Categorically yes.

During treatment......


I have suffered from bloating in the stomach while treating with MMS but if I had taken antibiotics this would also happen so MMS is not to blame.
I have also had really bad reflux and indigestion while treating and again this could happen if one is on antibiotics neither are to blame only the spirochete infection is to blame.
I am glad to say that this part has seemed to have calmed down quite a lot.

My Motto


My motto is when dealing with the heartburn or stomach problems is to:
Just eat plenty of Yogurt and bananas cut out processed foods and sugar and drink lots of water until acid burning subsides. I find Cranberry juice helps immensely and Acidophiles and manage my stress levels with yoga as Lyme loves it when we are stressed and not at our best.

I would suggest if one is suffering with a GI problem bear this in mind the infection does cause inflammation and if one is taking treatment like MMS or antibiotics it does seem to be all part of the process of ridding the infection.

Good Luck

Sunshine,Heat & Lyme Part two


Hello all,

I have not written for a little while because I have been outside enjoying the beautiful sunny weather here in the UK.

I have been sitting in the sun mainly for medicinal purposes really of course I have not been sitting in the sun for extensive periods of time and never in the midday sun.

 

Has it helped me?


Yes the sun has really helped me health wise and mood wise too.

I used to get a tingling sensation when I went into the sun or a sauna or a hot bath and in the past because i did not know the truth about M.S. and Spirochete infection I would automatically assume it was an M.S attack.

Before I was diagnosed with M.S I used to think there was something wrong with me or it was psychological or that was what I was told by the Dr's etc.

They can run, they are scared, they are cowards those Spirochetes


Now I am aware of what was wrong with my body I realize the tingling is not an M.S attack at all but a  reaction from the spirochetes trying to escape or dying off because they hate the heat they hate the sun.

When I used to get the tingling I would immediately get out of the heat or sun and go into the shade exactly what the little blighters wanted!

I have already written about sunshine and Lyme before here : http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/sunshine-heat-lyme.html

I do know most people with autioimmune diseases or other conditions do get adversly affected by heat and sun and it is always wise to be careful I would suggest to do what one feels one can cope with.

I also feel that if one is actually treating any condition that is actually related to Lyme?Spirochete infection, treating with MMS or antibiotics well the person is on their way to being cured and can maybe tolerate heat and the sun better than before.

I do know that with some antibiotics one has to stay out of the sun so always consult your LLMD and consult the instructions for any medication.

That is the beuaty of MMS you can go into the sun while taking MMS and there are no adverse reactions.

I personally grit my teeth and ignore the tingiling and itching, in my mind I can see the little blighters shriveling up and dying once and for all!


I refuse to rush to the shade like a bat because that is what they want no tough make me tingle make me itch they will not win!

Now since treating with MMS the tingling and itching is nothing like it used to be not at all now it is fleeting if at all, I feel happy in the knowledge that I won and they did not and now can enjoy a sauna or a sit in the sun with more ease not discomfort.

I now say this to all who do suffer in the sun and the heat try to grit your teeth perhaps when the itching starts before diving for cover.

 

Walking through sand.....


Yes in the heat I found it harder to walk I felt like I was walking through sand my legs were really hard to lift
and my knees used to not be able to bend with ease,

my ankles would ache and throb or my shins would ache and throb or i would get stabbing pains or electric shock sensations all over my body or my scalp.

This was when I would go in the sun before treatment with MMS  and now after treatment with MMS

I am happy to report that these problems do not occur!

The sun has got his hat on Hip Hip Hippo ray!


So hopefully as long as our UK summer lasts I shall keep on with my daily routine of getting outside whenever the sun has got his hat on!

Good Luck

MMS Update 1 Year & 22 months Today!!!!









Hello all,

Today is the day i have reached 1year & 22 months of taking the MMS to treat the Lyme/Spirochete infection! wow I am almost at the 2 year mark.

It has not been easy in any way, it has taken a lot of will power on my part and it has taken some time to get to this point.

Yes there have been times when I just wanted to give up,there has been times when i have gone through remorse for what I did lose for all those years I had an undiagnosed infection.
I have felt anger and frustration to say the least.

I have been in pain from the affects of dead Spirochete fragments that rest on my joints and cause swelling.

there  have been many regrets about the fact that the infection was not dealt with.

but I do not have any regrets for taking MMS not at all.

I am happy that for once and for all something is been done and i am not a write off anymore i am able to start my life again Ok I am at the halfway mark of my life yes but at least I know the truth now and am able to tell others to prevent the needless suffering.

I want to also show others that 1.MMS is not harmful 2. that there is hope at least not all is lost.
There are many out there that try to berate MMS. I have never said MMS is the be all for treating a Spirochete infection treat it in any way you feel happy with as long as one treats it.

the main thing is to trust your own intuition and follow that rather than listening to negativity and self doubt.

So here am I nearly at the 2 year mark and i am better or rather getting better.

Just do not give up i keep telling myself I have come so far and have had dramatic improvements.

Good luck

Sunshine, Heat & Lyme


Hello all,

I have not written for a little while because well we have been enjoying the lovely sunshine well the little sun we do get in the UK.

The sun really does make a difference I know many who have been diagnosed with M.S cannot stand the heat or the sun for that matter but we have to remember what Lida Mattman said "Multiple Sclerosis should be renamed Multiple Spirochetes"

Lyme/Spirochetes do not like heat or sun so of course it goes without saying these pesky spirochetes will make it as uncomfortable as possible for the host so the host gets out of the sun or any heat.

I noticed in the past as soon as I used to go in the sun or a sauna or hot bath my skin would become extremely itchy and very uncomfortable and then i would get numbness and electric shock sensations.
It would get so bad I would just dive under the shade or get away from the source of heat a quickly as possible!

 Now after treatment....


Now i know different and I am treating myself killing off the infection the affects of heat and going into the sun are much better I mean I can actually stand it!

No awful painful itching or electric shock sensations my eyes can cope as well unlike before treatment it would feel like I had poured acid into them they would burn and become very uncomfortable and ache.

Yes I can now have hot baths, which is something one should do when treating Lyme/Spirochete infection.
I am certain that when the Spirochete infection is not being treated with antibiotics or MMS or other treatments then yes having Hot baths and saunas could be detrimental as the infection always goes to the weakest areas and will not allow the host to go into the sun or a sauna.
While treating the infection this in turn is weakening the Spirochetes therefore having hot baths and saunas would help further to kill off the infection.

Now I am not 100% sure how people who are suffering with Fybromyalgria or CFS are affected by the sun or heat I can only guess it's like M.S.
I have met a few parents who have mentioned how their own children who have been diagnosed with autism also cannot cope with heat or sun.

The Sun is now my friend!


Yes now the sun and heat are my friends and are now helping me rather than hindering me.
Now i can enjoy both and can now relax when I have a sauna or a hot bath because if i do feel slight tingling or slight itchiness it's the Spirochetes trying to put up a fight but they are weak and will eventually give up the ghost will be no longer in my body all thanks to the MMS!

Time & Lyme


Hello all,

I have noticed that with Lyme or Spirochete infection time awareness is totally non existent.
Now could this be down to the part of the brain that helps us to be aware of time the same part that helps our spatial awareness.
All I know is from my experience with Lyme/Spirochete infection and living with others it is a constant daily struggle.

I seemed to be able to get a system where I could have quite a good idea of what the time is and also be able to get to appointments on time.
Some members of my family did not unfortunately, whether it was because they were just bad time keepers or the Lyme exaggerated this part of their personalities.

Not only does Lyme affect every area of our lives but it can really cause havoc on a daily basis, from hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second one really does not get a break does one?

The other way lyme does affect our aspect of Time awareness is well as a child who got bitten at age nine from my perspective before the bite I could tell the time I also understood the 24 hour clock but about 3 months after the bite it was like I suddenly had a sort of clock blindness I could not tell the time at all, I had no concept of time or the 24 hour clock for that matter everyone around me could not understand what was wrong with me they said it was because I was attention seeking!

Congenital

My children who were obviously born with Lyme/Spirochete infection before they were treated they really had a hard time getting the concept of time or even telling the time.
I am pleased to report now they are being treated they have no problem with the 24 hour clock or telling the time at all their time keeping is impeccable!


Taking the treatment is totally invaluable to enable us all to control the Lyme rather than the Lyme controlling us it certainly does make our lives a whole lot better that's for sure.


Ok MMS is not the most fantastic taste in the world and yes it can get very tiresome to keep on taking it day after day, dealing with the herx's on a daily basis but hey it is so worth it in the long run at least we will get our lives back.

Weight Gain & Lyme, Spirochete Infecton








Hello all,

The million dollar question is Does Lyme cause weight gain? the answer is yes it does. Lyme can also cause weight loss too.

What i have noticed is since treating the Spirochete infections I have gained weight some of this is probably due to inactivity.

Double edged sword....


This is a double edged sword because due to pain one can't be active and due to extreme tiredness one can't be active.

 If one does do some sort of exercise one could end up bedridden,
 the Lyme loves it when one is injured and goes to the places that have been injured .

Yep there is another flare up of pain and maybe swelling and then more tiredness.

So it goes on and on in a viscous circle.

Lymies can't do too much exercise but must try and keep as active as possible because Lyme/spirochetes love inactivity so moving is vital.

My own personal experience....


I have been treating the infection/s with MMS  some use antibiotics, now it is well known that medication can cause weight gain but I also feel that maybe there is also a connection to treating Lyme/Spirochete and the weight gain no matter how one treats the infection.

I am not a medical Doctor and i don't have a lab for testing all I can say is about my own personal experiences and speaking to other Lymies.

Seeing as Candida also can cause weight gain as well maybe when Lyme and candida get together well perhaps that causes the weight gain.

Thyroid


Weight gain can also be connected to Low thyroid so it is always worth while getting the thyroid checked as the spirochetes do love the Thyroid area and the spirochetes gobble up progesterone as does Candida.
I am going to try some natural remedies for my Thyroid gland as well.

Maybe when one is clear of any infection the body does get into balance eventually and the weight gain stops well here's hoping anyway.

It does seem protein is the key to helping with weight gain and cutting out all sugars in the diet.
I have been on the Atkins diet myself but I am afraid this has not helped my weight gain since I started treating the Lyme.

What I have noticed is since I increased my acidophiles I do seem to be losing weight now (thank goodness) and the symptoms of candida overgrowth have now all but gone.

I really hope I continue  to lose the weight I have gained since the start of treatment and I am sure MMS is not to blame and perhaps the antibiotics don't cause a lot of weight gain as we are lead to believe it could all be down to maybe Lyme die off who knows.


Early Days



It is very early days I am on day 5 now but I shall see if the weight gain starts to decrease further and my body gets into some sort of balance.

Boy isn't Lyme so multi- faceted and how it just about affects every part of the body it can drive one nuts but it is so worth treating it in the long run.

Candida & Lyme, Spirochete infection






Hello all,

I have written and mentioned MMS a lot in this biog and treating the Lyme/Spirochete infection. 

The one thing I failed to focus on is the dreaded Fungal infection Candida.

This is one horrible ghastly so and so. 

People with weakened immune systems due to a Lyme/Spirochete/Mycoplasma infection, do have a weakened immune system that's for sure don't I know it for sure first hand!

Old Enemy


I have had to contended with my old enemy I suppose most of my life along with Lyme/Spirochete infection only there is a difference, the medical profession are willing to acknowledge one has Candida to a point but not very well in my opinion.

With Lyme/Spirochete/Mycoplasma infection simply does not exist or rather Chronic infection does not exist.

The medical profession  say "oh you just need a couple of days antibiotics and you will be clear of infection" which of course is not true.

Candida is worth Billions of  to big Pharma and they know it!

At least when a woman has a Candida overgrowth and suffers from thrush she can buy products to relive the symptoms more like a sticky plaster because these do not treat the cause of the overgrowth just the symptoms.

Men do not suffer in the same way so can be completely oblivious that they could be infecting their partners.

 Bit more about Candida


Candida can affect the body in  more ways than one would ever realize.
A Candida overgrowth/ yeast infection  can affect every part of your life sounds very like Lyme/Spirochete/mycoplasma infection doesn't it?

It can be very debilitating in so many ways.

Candida can be the cause of many health problems or rather many health problems can be associated with the yeast infection.

People go to Doctor after Doctor get told "it's all  in their head" and get prescribed antibiotics which make the situation worse.

There is no quick and easy cure for a yeast infection gosh I wish there was.
It can hang around waiting for the ideal conditions to thrive again and cause another flare up.
A yeast infection can take months to eliminate  throughout the body.

Don't give up hope though because eliminating the yeast infection can be done.

Candida can cause:


Hyperactivity
Depression
Hypoglycemia
Menstrual problems
Urinary disorders
Respiratory problems
Food and environmental allergies
Learning difficulties
Muscle pain
Short attention span
Headaches
Memory loss
Skin problems
Autism
Chronic hives
Fatigue
Irritability
PMS Digestive disorders
Impotence 
Weight Gain
Joint pain
Gastrointestinal distress.
Jock Itch
Sinus problems ear infections
Frequant colds
Thyroid problems
Tightness of chest
loss of balance/dizziness
Nervous irritability
Strep throat 
Bad breath
Sugar craveings
Sagging breasts 
Thinning hair 

Some also say  Candida is also associated with Cancer.
I am sure it probably causes a more than listed.
Candida also devours progesterone which in turn can cause even more problems and i am sure it devours a lot more besides!

How I get affected


All I know is it does affect my general well being i cough more I have a lot of mucus i can get very depressed and irritable.  
My sleep is very disturbed and i get very bloated in the stomach area.  

It also affects other parts of my body which cause great discomfort and i get a terrible acid reflux which in turn affects my throat and my swallow.

I would not be surprised due to a Lyme/Spirochete/Mycoplasma infection which suppresses my immune system if there is a Candida overgrowth well with the two combined one would be very affected with the above symptoms and combine that with the great mimic well what a mess!

How I treat the Candida overgrowth 


After I got the Norovirus and then the flu yes I got a Candida overgrowth.

Refer to this page about Norovirus:  http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/norovirus-lyme.html

The worst part of it was it did take me a couple of months to realize that I had the Candida overgrowth yep it crept up on me with a sting in the tail and it was not until i was affected in the vaginal area that i realized it had got totally out of control.

I was taking probiotics but due to my now very weakened immune system this was not enough I had to go back to the drawring board so to speak.

I increased my Acidophilus 3 billion which contains Lactobacillus acidophilus to restore the healthy bacteria in the gut.
Normally  I would take 2 capsules of the 3 billion but i increased my dosage to 15 billion.(each capsule is 3 billion).

I also ate more asparagus every day and raw garlic.

I drank more cranberry juice and more salmon.

I drank water with Bicarbonate of soda about a teaspoon mixed in a glass of water each day.
Plus i increased the Vitamin C as well. 
I eat yogurt each day just plain with no added sugar. 
Onion in Apple cider vinegar

 This combination worked for me and I shall continue for perhaps a month or two or even longer.

Foods that one should not eat while treating a Candida.


Peanuts
Honey
All sugars
Alcohol
Beans
Processed foods
Coffee
Oats
Wheat
Grains.
Milk
Cheese
Tomato
Potato's

One can reintroduce things back into the diet eventually I say always consult a Medical professional or LLMD and also listen to your body.


Spit Test   


You can also do the spit test to check if you do have a Candida overgrowth.

The test is as follows:

In the evening, put a clear glass of water by your bed.
First thing in the morning,briefly rinse your mouth, swallow, then gather some saliva in your mouth and spit into the glass of water (be sure to spit out saliva, not mucus).

Keep an eye on the water for half an hour -- especially the first few minutes.
If you have candida overgrowth, you will see one or more of the following:



1. Strings (legs) hanging down from the saliva.
2. Heavy-looking saliva at the bottom of the glass.
3. Cloudy specks suspended in the water.


This test is very affective and costs nothing.



If, within three minutes after spitting into the water, you see “strings” hanging down, cloudy specks showing up in the water, or “debris” sinking to the bottom, you most likely have extensive overgrowth, which will require more candida-fighting action on your part. This is especially so if you see this develop almost immediately. The more you see and the faster you see it, the more candida overgrowth there is in your body.


If it takes longer than a few minutes for anything to show up, the candida is not as serious.
If the saliva just floats on top and the water stays perfectly clear, you most likely don’t have candida overgrowth.

The logic behind the test is simple.

If you have candida overgrowth, it will show up in the saliva, a friendly environment for yeast. When you spit into the glass, the aerated saliva is lighter than water. 

However, candida is heavier than either. Whether it sinks as "legs", falls to the bottom, or floats around in the water, all are indications of candida. The more you see, and the faster you see it, the more systemic the infection.

Candida concentrates in saliva overnight, so this test is most accurate first thing in the morning. 


I feel that if one has a Spirochete infection one no doubt will probably have a Candida overgrowth because Lyme and Candida are best buddies.

If one does choose the Atibiotics to treat the Lyme then no doubt this can cause a Candida overgrowth.
MMS does not affect the good fauna in the gut but as i found if one does get something like Norovirus or the flu then well yes the Candida can get out of control.

Good luck
