<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I came across a very interesting article about how Veteran soldiers are coming back from Iraq and a soldiers men and women are committing suicide every 20 minutes!.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This i</span>s an alarming figure to say the least. <br />
<br />
Why would this be happening?<br />
<br />
Apparently soldiers who are serving in Iraq according to the USDA in a published report revealed that sand flies were biting the troops as much as 1,000 times a night!<br />
These insects are also rife in Africa, The Middle East, Afghanistan.<br />
<br />
There were 100 infectious diseases identified for consideration based on illnesses contracted by soldiers the list will be all too familier to those who who do have Chronic Lyme or suspected Lyme:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Borellia Burgdofen</li>
<li>Bartonella (cat scratch fever)</li>
<li>Anaplasmosis</li>
<li>Qfever</li>
<li>Rickettsiosis </li>
</ul>
<br />
Dr Rick Sponaugle founder of <a href="http://sponauglewellness.com/wellness-programs/lyme-disease/" target="_blank">Sponaugle Clinic</a> Tampa Florida has written the following article regarding the possible connection between the continued spread of Bartonella and the war he writes as follows:<br />
<br />
<br />
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">"Is the Iraq War Partly Responsible for the Surge of Bartonella Infections in America</span></strong></h1>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">I found the
study below from University of California Davis both alarming and
thought provoking. It reveals that 47 percent of the domestic dogs
tested in Iraq had an active Bartonella infection. The infection rate is
potentially much higher because the antibody testing they used has far
more false negatives than testing with actual blood smears.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Are our troops getting exposed to more Bartonella in Iraq than they would here in America?</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">The answer
is most likely yes. Americans spend more money on their pets than Iraqi
citizens. They treat their pets for fleas and they often pay their
Veterinarian to test their dogs and cats for Lyme disease and
Bartonella. Fleas on cats were found years ago to spread Bartonella,
thus the original name for Bartonellosis was “cat scratch fever.”</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">As the
Medical Director of Sponaugle Wellness Institute, I have treated
hundreds of patients with Bartonella, most of these patients did not
have cats. You don’t need a cat to get “cat scratch fever.” Ticks,
mosquitos and fleas have all been proven to harbor Bartonella and the
Lyme spirochete.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Desert sand
fleas in Iraq were given credit for causing the first “Gulf War
Syndrome.” They infected our troops with Mycoplama, a bacterium that is
even smaller than the tiny Bartonella bacterium seen on my patient’s
blood smear below. Surely, the desert sand fleas in Iraq transport
Bartonella from Iraqi dogs to our troops!</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">The slide
below demonstrates just how small the Bartonella bacterium looks when
compared to the red blood cells surrounding it. For a frame of
reference, our red blood cells are only 8 microns in diameter. Common
sense dictates that the Bartonella bacterium is small enough to be
carried by almost any vector, desert sand fleas included.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Are American troops infecting their wives and husbands with Bartonella when they return from Iraq?</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Most likely
they are. We know that the larger Lyme spirochete is passed from one
spouse to another during sexual activity. We also know the Lyme
spirochete can cross the placenta infecting an unborn baby. Why would we
not believe that the much smaller Bartonella bacterium would readily
pass through the placenta and infect sexual partners.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Soldiers
returning from Iraq have experienced a much higher rate of psychological
disorders than other war veterans including; depression, anxiety
disorders, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, and addiction issues.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Do
Bartonella infections have causation in the higher prevalence of mental
disorders seen in soldiers returning from Iraq verses soldiers returning
from other wars?</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">If indeed
our troops are getting infected with Bartonella in Iraq, the answer is
definitely yes. Bartonella is notorious for causing mental disorders,
especially rage issues.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">I have
performed clinical research in hundreds of Lyme patients comparing their
psychological symptoms to changes on their brain scans and their brain
chemistry patterns. Those Lyme patients, who on blood smear testing,
revealed a significant Bartonella infection, always experienced more
severe psychological symptoms. This is with the Lyme biomarker CD 57
being relatively equal.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">More
specifically, patients with the worst Bartonella infections demonstrate
dangerously high levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter, Glutamate.
When Glutamate levels are excessive, calcium channels in brain neurons
remain open causing rapid and repetitive electrical firing.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">These
Bartonella patients suffer from a phenomenon called
excito-neurotoxicity, their brain is over-electrified. They often state
their brain feels like it’s going to explode or it feels like it’s on
fire. Symptomatically, they suffer with insomnia, anxiety disorders,
panic disorder, rage issues and in the most severe cases, paranoia.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Perhaps too
many veterans from the Iraq war are being misdiagnosed as having PTSD,
when in fact they are suffering from brain infections with Bartonella.
We could argue that these soldiers have experienced no more
psychological trauma than veterans from previous wars.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Lyme
literate doctors are fully aware that Lyme disease goes undiagnosed in
millions of Americans. I have personally treated hundreds of patients
who were infected with both Lyme and Bartonella and I am convinced that
Bartonella is under diagnosed far more than Lyme disease!</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">At
Sponaugle Wellness Institute, we diagnose Bartonellosis in 90 percent of
our chronic Lyme patients. Many of these Lyme patients were previously
informed by other Lyme physicians that they were not infected with
Bartonella.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Problematic
is that antibody and PCR testing for Bartonella will often produce
false negatives when the Bartonella bacteria are sequestered in a
“bio-film bubble” as seen below in my patient’s blood smear.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5em;">Perhaps
the most compelling question is whether our military would find it more
efficacious to routinely test Iraq war veterans for Bartonella than to
label infected soldiers as mentally disturbed and treat them with
psychiatric medicines.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">As I
finished this article on April 23, 2013, I picked up the St. Petersburg
Tribune which I had not read for two weeks. Maybe it’s a God thing. I
found the following Associated Press Article titled “Iraq Vet Pleads
Guilty to Killing 5 At Clinic.”</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">The story
explains that Army Sergeant John Russell went on a shooting spree at an
Army mental health clinic in Bagdad. It was one of the worst instances
of soldier-on-soldier violence in the Iraq war.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Russell was
nearing the end of his third tour in Iraq when according to other
soldiers in his unit he became distant and paranoid. He was referred to
the Camp Liberty clinic where he received prescription medication which
apparently made him suicidal, he later returned to the clinic and shot
five soldiers.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">I couldn’t
have made up a better story to match the science I just explained in
this article. I wrote a similar blog on Adam Lanza pleading for testing.
Perhaps if enough of you Lyme – Bartonella literate people share this
on your Lyme blogs, we can unite in an effort to mandate testing for
soldiers like John Russell."</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Dr. Rick Sponaugle, </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5em;">Medical Director of Sponaugle Wellness Institute.</span></h3>
<br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Department
of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine,
University of California Davis, Davis, California, United States of
America.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Abstract</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Bartonellae
are emerging vector-borne pathogens infecting erythrocytes and
endothelial cells of various domestic and wild mammals. Blood samples
were collected from domestic and wild canids in Iraq under the United
States Army zoonotic disease surveillance program. Serology was
performed using an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test for B.
henselae, B. clarridgeiae, B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. bovis.
Overall seroprevalence was 47.4% in dogs (n = 97), 40.4% in jackals
(n = 57) and 12.8% in red foxes (n = 39). Bartonella species DNA was
amplified from whole blood and representative strains were sequenced.
DNA of<strong> a new Bartonella species</strong> similar to but distinct
from B. bovis, was amplified from 37.1% of the dogs and 12.3% of the
jackals. B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii was also amplified from one
jackal and no Bartonella DNA was amplified from foxes. Adjusting for
age, the odds of dogs being Bartonella PCR positive were 11.94 times
higher than for wild canids (95% CI: 4.55-31.35), suggesting their role
as reservoir for this new Bartonella species.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;"> <strong>This
study reports on the prevalence of Bartonella species in domestic and
wild canids of Iraq and provides the first detection of Bartonella in
jackals. We propose Candidatus Bartonella merieuxii for this new
Bartonella species.</strong> Most of the Bartonella species identified in sick dogs are also pathogenic for humans. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: small;">Therefore,
seroprevalence in Iraqi dog owners and bacteremia in Iraqi people with
unexplained fever or culture negative endocarditis requires further
investigation as well as in United States military personnel who were
stationed in Iraq. Finally, it will also be essential to test any dog
brought back from Iraq to the USA for presence of Bartonella bacteremia
to prevent any accidental introduction of a new Bartonella species to
the New World.</span><br />

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have not written for a while not because of ill health not at all but just because well I have been rather busy.<br />
This makes a change to before the treatment of MMS when my life was slowly but surely taken away from me by the illness or rather the infection.<br />
<br />
From one day to the next I would not know if I would be well enough to even get out of bed let alone rush around after my kids!<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>The long journey</b>.......</h4>
<br />
The other day I had to make a trip back to the very place I was bitten by the horsefly well the area anyway.<br />
I went to visit my old haunts, places I used to go as a carefree child unbeknownst to me that I would contract a debilitating illness that would take over my whole life.<br />
I sat in the pretty public gardens looking at the blooming flowers and smelling the scents that were carried on the breeze and realised how far I had come on my very long journey back to good health.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Nature hurt me so much...... </b></h4>
So Ironic the one thing I love is going out into nature, I love watching the seasons change and I love watching the insects like bees going about their busy lives.<br />
The very thing I love hurt me and made me and my children sick.<br />
At first when I realised all my ailments stemmed from a bite of a horse fly nature actually scared me well what if it happens again?<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Forgiveness</b>....</span></b></h4>
Well now I have forgiven nature and now I can enjoy it again only this time I take precautions like insect repellant carrying tick removal tweezers that sort of thing. Being more aware of the insects and their habitat and the insects that could pose a risk of spreading infections.<br />
I was angry when i first found out the truth about my ailments and now I have forgiven and let go of the anger because well holding onto the anger is not going to help any ones immune system now is it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Best wishes<br />

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have been away for a while all thanks to the terriable weather we have had in the UK.<br />
My bathroom roof collapsed and we had to vacate our rented house because well we could not stay in the house without a working bathroom or toilet for that matter!<br />
<br />
I am sorry I have not been online for a while but i had no access to the Internet. <br />
<br />
Well i am now settled back into my home and i am back on the Internet and able to write this blog.<br />
<br />
I have not got bored of writing the blog and i am still willing to keep you updated with our MMS progress we are still doing well i am glad to report and yes MMS does work well it has worked for my children and I.<br />
<br />
Good Luck<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have been very busy phew. You see I home school my youngest and for the past 4 months she and I have felt more able to take part in our home education group and the activities.<br />
<br />
This is quite a giant leap forward for the both of us seeing as while we were in the process of treatment we wouldn't know how we would be physically or if we would herx or just be plain old exhausted!<br />
<br />
This would make it extremely difficult to make any plans or even have a routine or even do anything remotely active oh the joys of treating chronic Lyme or a Spirochete infection/s.<br />
<br />
Well we can report that we are still going strong and getting better all the time.<br />
<br />
It is a great feeling to become part of the human race again.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Vitamin B </h3>
<br />
I increased my Vitamin B intake (supplements) and have noticed this has helped immensely now of course you should consult a medical professional if you wish to do this.<br />
Lyme and Spirochetes do gobble up all the vitamin B we need and people with Chronic Lyme and M.S do suffer from the lack of Vitamin B in their system.<br />
To me it made sense to increase my Vitamin B intake and I am glad to say it has really helped me with my body strength and immune system.<br />
<br />
Well at the moment this is all I have to report and just to say it is so worth treating a Spirochete infection whether with MMS or Antibiotics just to get your life back.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good Luck<br />

<br />
<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I am still here and I am still going strong!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
How have I been? </h3>
Well I have gone from strength to strength and in the past month I have also had to deal with a cold!<br />
I have recovered from the cold in record time unlike last year.<br />
Obviously my immune system has a better ability to cope.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Am I still taking the MMS?</h3>
Yes I am still taking the MMS and will continue for the foreseeable future.<br />
<br />
<h3>
How are my children?</h3>
They too are going from strength to strength and they too had the cold as well.<br />
My eldest is getting so much better she is now attending a place of learning every day to do her GCSE's!<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Burn Out!</h3>
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.<br />
<br />
We hoped and prayed she would be alright and not have The Burn Out as I call it.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Needless to say I do not regret taking MMS not one bit.<br />
<br />
Yes Lyme I have won I have beaten you!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
No doubt....</h3>
<br />
I am so happy I have managed 2 years at last and I am glad to say the MMS has worked without a doubt. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Well the drugs I was being prescribed were not doing me any good at all in fact they were causing more<br />
<br />
harm than good.<br />
<br />
MMS on the other hand was doing me good and my Children are also still here as well.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Top of the Mountain...</h3>
<br />
I had to climb a mountain metaphorically speaking, well it felt like climbing a mountain.<br />
<br />
The mountain was a hard climb yes there were parts that I felt I was going to fall,<br />
<br />
but I hang on in there.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Been unwell longer than well...</h3>
<br />
I have had the Lyme/Spirochete infections for the majority of my life.<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Good day...</h3>
<br />
Yes I think this is a good day my 2 year mark wow!<br />
<br />
Good Luck<br />

Hello all,<br />
<br />
Today is a momentous day for me, I was finally able to fit into a pair of jeans!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Two years.... </h3>
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Happy...</h3>
I am so happy I am getting back to a normal weight and I am able to wear normal clothes like every one else.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Today I was able to put on a pair of shoes other than trainers as well!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Keep Going...</h3>
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.<br />
Keep going with whatever treatment you have chosen to do it is worth it really it is.<br />
<br />
Yes this is a momentous day for me that is for sure.<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I thought I would look at Stomach/Gastrointestinal problems and Lyme/Spirochete infections. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Kick in the stomach</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
Lyme/Spirochete infections will/can affect every organ in the body so I have found out from my own and<br />
<br />
family members experience and my own research on the subject.<br />
<br />
I have had my appendix removed because of Lyme/Spirochete infections.<br />
<br />
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).<br />
<br />
The doctors wanted to remove my gall bladder and my spleen (they did not thank goodness).<br />
<br />
Yes the wonderful infections not only affect the brain, eyes, ears, throat but also it gets one in the stomach!<br />
<br />
<h3>
My stomach problems</h3>
<br />
As I have mentioned I had my appendix removed about 2 years after the Horse fly bite.<br />
Now whether or whether not my appendix was due to rumble at the time that it did I am now pretty certain<br />
it may not have if I had not of been infected by the Horse fly. <br />
<br />
The reason I come to this conclusion is because the Spirochete infection affects every organ in the body,<br />
well it has in my body at least, so it would stand to reason the appendix would get inflamed.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Career Change.... </h3>
<br />
When I was 20 I got my first managerial job, how i managed to pass my course I will never know<br />
but I did it.<br />
<br />
The job was extremely stressful well the Catering industry is. Long hours little time to eat a proper meal,<br />
constantly on your feet.<br />
<br />
It was inevitable I was going to have a burn out and sure enough I had the ultimate burn out.<br />
My back gave in, I mean I could not move and with this my stomach started to have extreme pain in my<br />
stomach and I had a terrible heartburn feeling.<br />
<br />
The Dr advised I should have a white food diet i.e. White rice, white fish, Chicken.<br />
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!<br />
Funny how all of a sudden out of the blue my body started to fall apart from just my first job as a manager.<br />
The Doctor advised the job i was doing was too stressful and highly dangerous for me.<br />
<br />
I had spent years studying at collage and acquired debts with being a student and then I was told i had<br />
chosen the wrong career all because my stomach and GI were not coping.<br />
<br />
Needless to say i went down the homoeopathic route and yes gave up my career as a Hotel manager.<br />
I did not have my spleen removed or Gall bladder either.<br />
<br />
<h3>
While Pregnant.....</h3>
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"<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
During treatment...... </h3>
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
I am glad to say that this part has seemed to have calmed down quite a lot. <br />
<br />
<h3>
My Motto </h3>
<br />
My motto is when dealing with the heartburn or stomach problems is to:<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Good Luck<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have not written for a little while because I have been outside enjoying the beautiful sunny weather here in the UK.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Has it helped me?</h4>
<br />
Yes the sun has really helped me health wise and mood wise too.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
They can run, they are scared, they are cowards those Spirochetes</h3>
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
I have already written about sunshine and Lyme before here : <a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/sunshine-heat-lyme.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/sunshine-heat-lyme.html</a><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
That is the beuaty of MMS you can go into the sun while taking MMS and there are no adverse reactions.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Walking through sand.....</h3>
<br />
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<br />
and my knees used to not be able to bend with ease,<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
This was when I would go in the sun before treatment with MMS and now after treatment with MMS<br />
<br />
I am happy to report that these problems do not occur!<br />
<br />
<h3>
The sun has got his hat on Hip Hip Hippo ray! </h3>
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
Good Luck<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
I have felt anger and frustration to say the least.<br />
<br />
I have been in pain from the affects of dead Spirochete fragments that rest on my joints and cause swelling.<br />
<br />
there have been many regrets about the fact that the infection was not dealt with.<br />
<br />
but I do not have any regrets for taking MMS not at all.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
I want to also show others that 1.MMS is not harmful 2. that there is hope at least not all is lost.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
the main thing is to trust your own intuition and follow that rather than listening to negativity and self doubt.<br />
<br />
So here am I nearly at the 2 year mark and i am better or rather getting better.<br />
<br />
Just do not give up i keep telling myself I have come so far and have had dramatic improvements.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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"<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
It would get so bad I would just dive under the shade or get away from the source of heat a quickly as possible!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Now after treatment....</h3>
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Yes I can now have hot baths, which is something one should do when treating Lyme/Spirochete infection.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Sun is now my friend! </h3>
<br />
Yes now the sun and heat are my friends and are now helping me rather than hindering me.<br />
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!<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have noticed that with Lyme or Spirochete infection time awareness is totally non existent.<br />
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.<br />
All I know is from my experience with Lyme/Spirochete infection and living with others it is a constant daily struggle.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<h4>
Congenital </h4>
<h3>
</h3>
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.<br />
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!<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Hello all,<br />
<br />
The million dollar question is Does Lyme cause weight gain? the answer is yes it does. Lyme can also cause weight loss too.<br />
<br />
What i have noticed is since treating the Spirochete infections I have gained weight some of this is probably due to inactivity.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Double edged sword.... </u></h3>
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
If one does do some sort of exercise one could end up bedridden,<br />
the Lyme loves it when one is injured and goes to the places that have been injured .<br />
<br />
Yep there is another flare up of pain and maybe swelling and then more tiredness.<br />
<br />
So it goes on and on in a viscous circle.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>My own personal experience....</u> </h3>
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Seeing as Candida also can cause weight gain as well maybe when Lyme and candida get together well perhaps that causes the weight gain.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Thyroid </u></h3>
<br />
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.<br />
I am going to try some natural remedies for my Thyroid gland as well.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
It does seem protein is the key to helping with weight gain and cutting out all sugars in the diet.<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Early Days </u></h3>
<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello all,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have written and mentioned MMS a lot in this biog and treating the Lyme/Spirochete infection. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The one thing I failed to focus on is the dreaded Fungal infection Candida.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is one horrible ghastly so and so. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">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!</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Old Enemy </u></h3>
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
With Lyme/Spirochete/Mycoplasma infection simply does not exist or rather Chronic infection does not exist.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Candida is worth Billions of to big Pharma and they know it!<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Men do not suffer in the same way so can be completely oblivious that they could be infecting their partners. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<u> Bit more about Candida</u></h3>
<br />
Candida can affect the body in more ways than one would ever realize.<br />
A Candida overgrowth/ yeast infection can affect every part of your life sounds very like Lyme/Spirochete/mycoplasma infection doesn't it?<br />
<br />
It can be very debilitating in so many ways.<br />
<br />
Candida can be the cause of many health problems or rather many health problems can be associated with the yeast infection.<br />
<br />
People go to Doctor after Doctor get told "it's all in their head" and get prescribed antibiotics which make the situation worse.<br />
<br />
There is no quick and easy cure for a yeast infection gosh I wish there was.<br />
It can hang around waiting for the ideal conditions to thrive again and cause another flare up.<br />
A yeast infection can take months to eliminate throughout the body.<br />
<br />
Don't give up hope though because eliminating the yeast infection can be done.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">If it takes longer than a few minutes for anything to show up, the candida
is not as serious.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">If the saliva just floats on top and the water stays perfectly clear, you
most likely <i>don’t</i> have candida overgrowth. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The logic behind the test is simple.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">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. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Candida concentrates in saliva overnight, so this test is most accurate
first thing in the morning. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I feel that if one has a Spirochete infection one no doubt will probably have a <span style="font-size: small;">Candida overgrowth because Lyme and Candida are best buddies.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">If one does choose the Atibiotics to treat the Lyme then no doubt this can cause a Candida overgrowth<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">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 g<span style="font-size: small;">et out of control.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Good luck</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I was bitten by a Horse fly about 30 years ago and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis age 22 but as I have quoted Lida Mattman "Multiple Sclerosis should be renamed Multiple Spirocehtes" so I deduced (well the NHS etc had let me down and nobody that I must have Chronic Lyme which is debilitating anyway so in many respects not a lot changed for me<br />
The only thing that has changed is the fact that I am now treating the infection.<br />
Because I was untreated for the spirocethe infection from the horse fly bite the infection became chronic and as the spirocehte infection/s are contagious unknowingly I had two children because one is told it's ok to have children if you have M.S.<br />
I never would of spread this to anyone if I had known the truth, the facts.<br />
Thank goodness I know now and at least I can treat myself and my loved ones.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>The Bulls Eye type rash</u></h3>
<br />
The other day my youngest daughter flared up in the same old Bulls eye type rash again refer to pictures:<br />

<h3>
A Child's view who has congenital Lyme/Spirochete infection</h3>
<br />
Now these pictures are quite shocking to say the least, my daughter wanted the pictures taken and to be put on this blog for others to see and to help others.<br />
She says the rashes feel like " Tingling pain, a bit worse than nettle rash. Most of the time I don't know if they will get bigger or smaller or stay the same. Sometimes they are very itchy and they prevent me from moving my wrist with ease because the skin is rough and feels thicker and hurts and aches.The skin is very dry and flaky.<br />
When I touch any surface it burns and hurts.It does not matter what creams or moisture's I put on the rashes nothing helps except when i have a MMS bath does help and eventually the rashes do go away and skin gets back to normal and no sign of the rash and there is no lasting damage.<br />
When it has gone I think how did i ever live with these rashes.<br />
Sometimes the rashes can last a couple of weeks sometimes a couple of months the bigger the rash the harder it is for it to go away. Before the MMS treatment the rashes I used to get consumed my whole body my face, neck, legs, torso, hands, feet and ankles surprisingly never my back<br />
Now just my arms,hands,face and just my left knee.It feels like I have a rash life.<br />
The rashes would really badly flare up in heat.<br />
I can never forget I have a rash, it is always there night and day but then when it goes completely I can forget it was ever there"<br />
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Finding a cure.... </h3>
<br />
We have lived with these type rashes the whole of my children's lives.<br />
Before I found out about Lyme,Spirochete infection I would take my children to the Dr's and skin specialists and no one had an answer to what was wrong with my children.<br />
We changed diet, washing powder, soaps, used creams and lotions all to no avail.<br />
Now we know the truth and what the actual cause is and are treating with MMS all of our lives are a whole lot better.<br />
Even though the rashes now do look very dramatic they are far less troublesome for my children.<br />
As a mum before the MMS treatment it used to break my heart watching my kids have all these rashes and I was at the time unable to help them as much as I tried.<br />
Thank goodness now my kids are being treated properly even though it does take time we will get there in the end and my children and I will be Spirochete free.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Hot Potato </h3>
<br />
Congenital Lyme/spirochete infection is very real and obviously a very hot political potato but the truth must be told as far and wide as possible to stop the needless suffering of so many, so that the children who do have congenital spirochete infection can be treated very simply with antibiotics or MMS and live healthy happy lives without disability.<br />
<br />
I had a partly disabled childhood and teens my children did too but now at least my children will have a non disabled adulthood we have MMS to thank for this and I am sure if we had taken antibiotics instead we could have the same results the MMS was thousands times cheaper and a lot less harmful with a no side affects.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I would hope many others in the UK (and of course anywhere around the world) would be able to treat their own autoimmune diseases that are connected to Lyme/spirocehte infection so they too can lead healthy happy lives and also be able to have back their careers or even have a career.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I never thought it possible that there was a treatment for any autoimmune disease and one could have ones life back. I had just resigned myself to the fact that M.S was a part of life and that was that and I would just have to get used to it that I would need help for the rest of my life and I was just going to be lucky if I lived past age 50!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I have got one over on the M.S/Lyme now and I am taking back what it stole from me!</span></div>

Hello All,<br />
<br />
We have reached another milestone with treatment with MMS for the Spirochete/Lyme infections.<br />
<br />
The improvements have continued if anything have got better and more!.<br />
<br />
My sleeping pattern is much much better than I have ever had since the Horsefly bite.<br />
My physical strength is improving everyday and Brainfog is lifting every day as well.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Am I still on the same dose of MMS? </h3>
Yes I am and I still take MMS in the morning and before bed. I still use it for brushing teeth and do still have MMS baths.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Do I still need help? </h3>
Well yes I do but the help is different to before the healing is going to take time.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Could I hold down a full time Job yet? </h3>
No not yet but i have had this Illness for a large part of my life. I am willing to give it time. I have goals that I want to achieve with regards to this.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Could I take part in sport yet?</h3>
I could not do this either, I could not do disabled sport either yet due to the fact I do still herx and yes I do get swelling and with that comes pain.<br />
<br />
I have noticed that I have to give myself lots of breaks I cannot repeat the same procedure over and over again for extended amounts of time because I would pay for that so in some ways just as it is with Multiple Sclerosis my recovery time is a lot shorter though. This is why I could not hold down a full time Job especially if I do get a cold or something like Norovirus which did take it's toll on me and recovery wasn't that fast. Refer to this page:<a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/norovirus-lyme.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/norovirus-lyme.html</a><br />
and this page : <a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/flu-lyme.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/flu-lyme.html</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Please don't let the above put you off from treating yourself with antibiotics or MMS because treating the infection will take time if one does have Chronic Lyme/BB/Mycoplasma infection your body does need time to heal all the damage the spirochetes have caused.<br />
<br />
Treating the infection is so worth it to break the chains of disability caused by an infection.<br />

<h3>

Hello all, <br />
<br />
As I have quoted Lida Mattman many times over with regards to Lyme/BB/Spirochtete infection and M.S.<br />
I quote "Multiple Sclerosis should be renamed Multiple Spirochetes". <br />
<br />
Anyone
who has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis must keep this in the
forefront of the mind because it is oh so easy to forget that Multiple
Sclerosis is a Spirochete infection the MRI scans prove this, even
though the radiographers and neurologists etc cannot say so.<br />
<br />
Multiple
Sclerosis is an infection, it is an infection that can be treated with
antibiotics or other treatments like MMS. It is not just something that no one knows how it comes to be, or that no one knows how to cure it or no one knows the best form of treatment like so many other autoimmune diseases. <br />
<br />
<br />
Lida
Mattman is no longer with us but her message lives on and should be
told as much as possible so no one forgets or that it is brushed under
the carpet very conveniently and the labels of the autoimmune diseases
just dished out to people who do not know what they suffering from,
which can be very scary don't I know that.<br />
<br />
Instead of people
being told the actual truth and being given the right treatment for an
infection not just medicines that treat the symptoms.<br />
I feel it is
a crying shame that when a person is in fear and suffering that they
are not told the facts and the person just has to suffer from day of
diagnoses forever more with a label.<br />
This is one of the main
reasons I started this blog to try and spread the truth about autoimmune
diseases and the connection to Spirochete infections.<br />
When one is diagnosed with something like M.S ones world changes forever one loses ones freedom.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Chains of Disability </u></h3>
<br />
I lost my freedom with the chains of being disabled my freedoms had been taken away with the diagnose of Multiple Sclerosis <br />
I
felt excluded from society, my life stopped I was now classed as
disabled many did not understand and many had absolutely no sympathy at
all. It was like I was an outcast not quite right, unable to hold down a
job or take part in many social events because there was no where to
sit.<br />
<br />
It is hard for anyone to imagine what it is like being a prisoner in ones own body. <br />
There is no way of increasing your own income and you become reliant on benefits which becomes your only source of income because the chains of the disability prevent you from holding down a job or actually being able to do a job physically, mentally or emotionally.<br />
I felt like a non human. I am sure everyone goes through this who has been diagnosed with a autoimmune disease and has become disabled.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Trust </u></h3>
<br />
I had no idea that the diagnose the label I was given was connected to a Horse fly bite I got when I was 9 years old. Why would I know?<br />
We trust the Doctors<br />
We trust the pharmaceutical companies<br />
We trust they will help us and treat our conditions.<br />
Why would they hold back on the truth?<br />
<br />
I had no idea my own children would also be infected or my husband or even my pets. <br />
There was never a thought that because of that one bite my friends at school and close friends would also be infected.<br />
That the infection could cause sudden infant death syndrome.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Truth</u></h3>
<br />
Now I have the truth the answer to free me from the chains that bind me the disability chains.<br />
I can now treat myself and my children so that once and for all we can become humans again especially in these times of uncertainty for all disabled people.<br />
Everyone else can also get rid of those chains of disability that an autoimmune disease creates once and for all with the right treatment we just need to spread the information as much as possible to as many as possible to give back the freedom that has been lost.<br />
<br />
I have never said treating chronic infection would be easy but in so many ways it is easier than living with an autoimmune disease.<br />
OK the treatment whether it's antibiotics or MMS does not work over night but it is a darn sight better than not treating and succumbing to the illness and becoming chained and loosing your freedom.<br />
<br />
So many go into denial and refuse to treat the infection and this too is a crying shame.<br />
<br />
Keep remembering that Lida Mattman did find that most if not all autoimmune diseases main cause is a Spirochete infection please refer to this very good video and see for yourself :<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WozrCFW0mRM" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WozrCFW0mRM</a><br />
<br />
Lida Mattman focused her attention in culturing the Spirochete from blood samples,she did find a method and now most Laboratories use these methods.<br />
When Lida Mattman was asked "Is M.S a spirochetal infection?" she replied with an unequivocal "Yes".<br />
For myself that just says it all not only did Lida Mattman say this about Multiple Sclerosis but her findings also included other diseases. <br />
<br />
It is now time for the Truth to be spread far and wide with regards to Multiple Sclerosis how many more have to suffer with this debilitating disease with no hope in sight?<br />
How many more people with any autoimmune disease have to suffer in silence with the chains of disability?<br />
<br />
Please spread the word as much as you can about the real truth about Multiple Sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases and tell as many as possible that they can be treated and given their freedom back.<br />
We all have to come out of denial.<br />
<br />
Lyme/Spirochete infection does exist and it has reached epidemic proportions you can be born with it, it can be sexually transmitted, it is spread by many different insects these are facts.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Stop the needless suffering </u></h3>
<br />
I just don't want to see anymore needless suffering it has to stop.<br />
<br />
The truth must be told and people must be able to break their chains of disability and gain back their freedom.<br />
<br />
It can be done the right treatment is all it takes and of course knowing the truth.<br />
<br />
I wish I had of known the truth when I was first diagnosed or even when I got bitten I could of been saved from years and years of pain and suffering.<br />
<br />
My children would of been saved from having congenital Lyme/Spirochete/Mycoplasma infections.<br />
<br />
We the human race deserve good health well that's my belief anyway. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello All,<br />
<br />
Boy when is Spring going to arrive here in the UK?<br />
<br />
This ongoing cold freezing weather is going on and it's never ending! <br />
<br />
The price I pay for such cold weather is my joints and bones. I used to go cold from the inside out this is hard to explain, now since I have been treating myself my internal thermostat seems to keep my body at a constant warmth even when I venture outside.<br />
This is a good thing.<br />
Now since this Springs bout of snow here in the UK something we have not seen since the 60's, before my time, my shins have really hurt.<br />
<br />
My shins feel as though I have done 50 rounds in a football match being constantly kicked! They feel bruised and battered.<br />
This is impeding my walking ability (my legs are quite stiff).<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Lyme Fragments </u></h3>
<br />
Now I know about the experiment with the mice refer to this page:<a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/lyme-fragments-and-oxygen-therapy-other.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/lyme-fragments-and-oxygen-therapy-other.html</a><br />
<br />
The fact the scientists found that even when the mice were clear of any living BB the Lyme fragments from the dead BB would still be present and wherever the fragments rested i.e joints the fragments would cause swelling and I presume pain but mice can't speak so we will never know if they actually experienced pain with the fragments and the swelling, I know I do!<br />
<br />
Well my shins as I said are quite painful I do not have the stripy leg this time refer to this page : <a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/stripy-leg-swollen-foot.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/stripy-leg-swollen-foot.html</a><br />
<br />
Or the swollen foot bit I do have very sore shins!.<br />
The bone does feel slightly swollen well the skin does there is really not a lot visible to the naked eye but I can sure feel something going on that's for sure.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>I remember when...... </u></h3>
<br />
Perhaps this is living Lyme causing the pain or perhaps it's the fragments or both I do remember after the bite from the horse fly, we used to visit my Great Grandmother in Scotland and the temperature change would be quite drastic for me, I would be rolling around in agony rubbing my shins tears pouring down my face for at least the first week of us being there, yes it would take me at least a week to get acclimatised to the temperature change.<br />
The shin pain would come whenever I would have to go through drastic temperature changes mainly from warm to cold. My mother would take me to the G.P only to be told I was suffering from growing pains of all things!<br />
How many other people suffering from a undiagnosed Spirochete infection are palmed off with such a load of twaddle<br />
Most children who get Lyme do get swollen knees which become very painful I suppose for me my shins were the main problem area.<br />
<br />
Maybe it was because I fell on my right shin when I was about 3 and had a huge gash a scar I have had since and perhaps because of this the Spirochetes have attacked the most.<br />
Yes I have always had clicky knees (since the bite) and my knees have also been weak but I have not had what the children had in the towns of Lyme and Old Lyme, Connecticut USA identified in 1975.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Since Treatment......</u></h3>
<br />
Since treating with MMS my shins have only just recently flared up since this Spring snow but at least I am not rolling around in pain with tears pouring down my face could that be my age?<br />
I know with the MMS this symptom will lift maybe when the Spring does finally arrive in the UK, I will be mobile and pain free again and hopefully this will be the last time my shins will ever be affected again..... well here's hoping.<br />
<br />
The stripy leg has not come back.......<br />
No one said treating the spirochete infection/s would be easy or quick for that matter it defiantly is like running a marathon rather than a sprint!.<br />
I will just have to keep on with the MMS even when I feel better and symptom free but you know it will be so worth it after having an undiagnosed infection for 30 years of my life, having so much stolen from me by the spirochetes! I will overcome this.<br />
Keep on going never give up!<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
Norovirus was a really hard illness to get over I know the advice is it takes 75 hours but it didn't with me and not only that I got the flu straight after probably because my immune system was down because of the Norovirus.<br />
<br />
Well the flu really did take it's toll on me maybe it was the fact my body was already dealing with the Lyme healing.<br />
<br />
What I have noticed is my brain fog was real bad since January and it has only been for the last couple of weeks I can now safely say my brain fog has lifted once and for all.<br />
My energy levels are better no more than better.<br />
The annoying cough is going nearly has gone now.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>The Real Story...</u></h3>
The real story of the Norovirus and the flu is that both do last longer than is stated and that some symptoms are harder to go than others.<br />
<br />
I did not take antibiotics for either illness and maybe they would of gone quicker if I had of taken antibiotics but there is a part of me which does disagree.<br />
No I just stuck to the MMS and I would say it probably worked as well as any antibiotic could of ever of done.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>My Throat&Voice</u></h3>
What I also noticed was my throat and voice were affected by the flu now my job is a speaking job so became quite a challenge to say the least.<br />
I will say it felt exactly as it did when I lost my swallow all those years ago only this time I did not lose my ability to swallow thank goodness.<br />
<br />
My voice would come and go and the only remedy for this was Cadburys drinking chocolate. I am not advertising here not at all. I tried all sorts from luxury to cheap and the only one that worked for me and kept my voice working and my throat working was cadburys believe it or not.<br />
<br />
Now I do not know why only this brand worked but hey at least I could do my job.<br />
I thought I would post this in case anyone else had the same problem as myself and could not find a solution or anything to help.<br />
<br />
Some may say it is pshcological some may not believe me I personally do not care if any one believes me or not Cadburys worked for me. <br />
<br />
I am still drinking it and my voice is slowly but surely less affected I don't lose my voice as much as I was it is not as crackly as before.<br />
<br />
Well maybe a lot of my symptoms were to do with die off of the Lyme/Spirochetes or maybe a lot had to do with the fact that Lyme does communicate with other bacteria and therefore made it harder who knows at least now I am back to normal and able to at least go through each day with more energy.<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have started to take Molasses water with Sage and Coriander every morning after the MMS (an hour<br />
<br />
after) as all of these are helpful to detox the body and not only that they help when treating Lyme/Spirochete infection. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Zinc </u></h3>
<br />
I also use a Zinc cream as normal moisturisers do not work for reoccurring Lyme bites or to put this a better way reoccurring bite type marks.<br />
<br />
I use Zinc cream for rashes as well and any marks connected to the Lyme/Spirochete infection and hexes.<br />
<br />
The Molasses water concoction has helped and has really helped with detoxing.<br />
This should be drunk in the morning as it does give a lot of energy take it from me it keeps you awake!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Coriander is a wonderful herb!</u></h3>
<br />
Coriander is a very powerful herb and has many health benefits.<br />
<br />
Traditionally it is a perennial herb and has a sweet smelling aroma.<br />
<br />
The leaves contain:<br />
Protein<br />
Fat<br />
Fibre<br />
Carbohydrates<br />
Minerals which are: Vitamin C, Calcium, Phosphorous,Iron, Calcium, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Sodium,Potassium, Oxalic acid.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<br /><u>Health benefits</u></h3>
<br />
Coriander can help digestion by helping proper secretion of enzymes and digestive juices and can stimulate digestion motion and peristaltic motion.<br />
<br />
Reduce fevers,<br />
<br />
Help Flem,<br />
<br />
Reduce Swelling Cineole, one of the 11 components of the essential oil, and linoleic acid, present in coriander,
possess anti rheumatic and anti arthritic properties, which are very
beneficial for swelling caused due to these two reasons. or swelling due to malfunctioning of kidney or anaemia. <br />
<br />
Helps nausea,indigestion,dysentery, reduces pain.<br />
<br />
It can be used internally and externally <br />
<br />
Coriander is an excellent antiseptic and can be used for mouth ulcers,<br />
<br />
Skin disorders The disinfectant, detoxifying, anti-septic, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties of cumin are ideal for curing skin disorders such as eczema, dryness and fungal infections.<br />
<br />
Eye care,<br />
<br />
Conjunctivitis.<br />
<br />
Blood sugar Due the stimulating effect of cumin on the endocrine glands, the secretion of insulin is increased from
pancreas which increases the insulin level in the blood, thereby helping
proper assimilation and absorption of sugar and resultant fall in the
sugar level in the blood. This property is very beneficial for the diabetes patients and others too.<br />
<br />
It can be used for Menstrual disorders by helping proper secretion of hormones.<br />
<br />
Coriander helps cure ulcer, inflammation, spasm and acts as an
expectorant, protects and soothes liver. It is anti-carcinogenic,
anti-convulsant, anti-histamine and hypnotic.<br />
<br />
We also sprinkle coriander on our food every day as well as drinking the molasses water with cut up coriander in the water every day. <br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Molasses is a good sugar!</u></h3>
<br />
Molasses is full of nutritional value and contains many minerals:<br />
<div>
calcium, magnesium, copper, manganese, iron, potassium</div>
<br />
Just two teaspoons a day is enough for the RDA for the above Blackstrap molasses is the best.<br />
<div>
It has been known to help in curing fibroid, anaemia, anxiety,
constipation, arthritic pain, heart palpitations, etc.<br />
It also helps to
turn Gray hair back to its original colour.</div>
<div>
We do also use it in cooking but for our healing we use it in the water.</div>
<div>
Apparently it also is good for cancer prevention not sure if this is anecdotal or not.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
<u>Sage the antioxidant....</u></h3>
<br />
Sage is a great antioxidant and has many properties. It is a antinflammatory and can be easily absorbed.<br />
It can provide better brain function and some use it to treat Alzheimer's.<br />
Sage can also help with the menopause and can also help with diabetes and help boost insulin action.<br />
We also add sage to our food as well as drinking the molasses water.<br />
<br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<u>Ginger the great antiinflammatory!</u></h3>
<br />
Ginger can relieve painful swelling and helps arthritis.<br />
<br />
Helps nausea and can also help with circulation and digestive problems.<br />
<br />
It makes platelets less sticky so this in turn helps the circulation system. Of course it also helps with colds and can also help with allergies.<br />
<br />
Ginger also helps as an antioxidant and helps to clear gas and helps bowel disorders.<br />
<br />
Can relive headaches helps menstrual regularity.<br />
<br />
Helps to stop the spread of cancers too!<br />
<br />
Helps promote <u> </u>healthy skin, hair, nails and teeth.<br />
<br />
We also add ginger to the molasses water and sprinkle on our food.<br />
<br />
This is what we are using as well as the MMS and I have noticed a difference it really is helping with my healing from Lyme/Spirochete infection.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Now the hair pulling has a name it is </span>Trichotillomania and is a condition that affects many people.<br />
<br />
There is no known cause or cure for that matter.<br />
<br />
All i can say is now she is back on the MMS the hair pulling seems to have stopped. I say seems to have because it can come and go.<br />
<br />
Her hair pulling started when she stopped treatment for congenital Lyme.<br />
<br />
This symptom has shocked her more than anything, as she said<br />
<br />
" What could of happened next? I dread to think!"<br />
<br />
Maybe she has the urge to pull her hair regardless of whether she has congenital Lyme or not who knows, I have a strong suspicion that it is connected to the spirochete infection.</div>

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I was told about this very interesting video by Dr Tent and it is well worth a watch.<br />
It basically verifies that Autoimmune disease is caused by something in this case viruses but I also believe that it is caused by a Spirochete infection.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
Having suffered from Lyme/spirochete infection which was diagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis at first, for a number of years, I have had to adapt my lifestyle to cope with a brain that behaved as though I had a brain injury.<br />
<br />
I did not have a brain injury just cognitive dysfunction.<br />
<br />
I wanted to know more about how does one cope with a cognitive dysfunction it's well and good knowing and reading about it but how does one cope?<br />
<br />
I needed to know so I could help my children as well as my brother.<br />
<br />
There is this one particular article for exactly this problem and this article may be written for CFS/F.M. I feel it can be applied to any autoimmune disease or Lyme/spirochete Infection.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Up until the 1980s,
most physicians believed that cognitive dysfunction rarely occurred in
people with MS. But since that time, studies have shown that between 55-65
percent of people with MS have some level of difficulty in this area.
The best way of managing cognitive problems is to first understand the
problems then practise strategies to overcome or compensate for the inconvenience
they cause.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Cognitive process involves
attention, memory, learning, organising, comprehending, thinking, and
judgement. In MS, cognitive problems result from demyelination or plaques
in the cerebral tract of the brain. Not everybody will experience cognitive
problems, and those who do will usually have quite mild symptoms. Also,
the symptoms may vary from person to person. "Only about 10 to 20
percent of individuals develop symptoms severe enough to limit daily functioning,"
says Dr. Jill Fischer in her article, "Cognitive Impairment in MS:
The Forgotten Problem."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sometimes recognising
cognitive impairment is the hardest first step. Family members may be
the first to notice some of the following difficulties:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Impaired attention,
perception and/or memory</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Disorganised thinking
or acting</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Inefficient processing
of information</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Difficulty processing
new information, rules and procedures</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Unable to remember
old or stored information</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Ineffective problem
solving and judgement</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Inappropriate social
behaviour</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Impaired goal setting,
planning or awareness of strengths and weaknesses </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The most common cognitive
problems associated with MS are short-term memory loss, word-finding (selecting
the right word to express a thought), and attention. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The following strategies
can help you compensate if you have problems in these areas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Memory</b><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Remembering things that happened years ago is often easier than remembering
something that just happened. To avoid the frustration of short-term memory
loss, try some or all of the following:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Keep a calendar.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Clocks and watches
with beepers or alarms can remind you to do something.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Use a tape recorder.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Keep lists (shopping
lists, questions to ask physician, etc.).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hang post-it stickers
on the refrigerator door.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Writing things down
may facilitate memory.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Arrange your environment:
for example, combine clothing according to outfits, or keep frequently
used kitchen things in a certain place.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Word-finding</b><br />
Remember that communication is the key. The main goal is to convey the
idea, even if the exact words are not used. Ask family and friends to
give you adequate time to express yourself. When you can't find a word,
try some of the following strategies:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>Description</i>:<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">describe the word
or idea you can't get out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> <i>Distraction</i>:<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">think about something
else - the word you want might come to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> <i>Visual Imagery:</i>
<br />
painting a picture in your mind helps elicit words.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> <i>Non-verbal:</i><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">gesturing and
drawing can help communicate your idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> <i>Categorisation and
function: </i><br />
describe what group or function your word or idea belongs to.</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Clarification:</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br />
clarify your ideas with your listener, repeat back. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Don't
let someone leave with the wrong message.<br />
</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Association:</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br />
connect people's names with other people or ideas.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Attention</b><br />
Attention is the ability to focus on something over time and retain the
information for immediate or later use. To improve attention:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Reduce background
noise and distractions.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Maintain eye contact
with conversing with others.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Rephrase what someone
has said.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Ask other people
to speak more slowly.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Above all else, keep
the following in mind:<br />
</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Poor memory
is often the result of poor concentration or trying to do too many things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Stress, anxiety, and
fatigue affect memory.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> No body's mind is perfect.
We all forget things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Encouragement, patience
and support from family and friends is crucial.</span><br />
<hr />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Melissa Kaplan notes...<br />
</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Many of the
techniques for remembering to do things, learning, dealing with attention
deficit problems that are taught to post-traumatic brain injury survivors
are also very useful when you have the neurocognitive impairment common
in CFS, FM, and Lyme. Contact your local brain injury rehab centres to
see if they offer any programs that you can participate in. Many insurance
companies (and Medicare and Medicaid) will cover structured programs. </span><br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
Nightmares are one of the worst symptoms of Lyme/Spirochete infection.<br />
I say one of the worst because all the symptoms are quite bad as it is.<br />
<br />
Not only can one suffer from Insomnia and when one finally does get to sleep the sleep disturbance can start from waking up or night terrors or nightmares.<br />
<br />
I would suffer from nightmares that could be quite gory, also nightmares of being chased and attacked, nightmares of awful monsters and demons, how can a child explain that?<br />
<br />
As I got older my brain was able to cope better but not much real scary stuff to say the least. <br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
<u>Sleeping Pills</u></h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<br />
<br />
After the horse fly bite age 9 my sleep pattern was so bad the doctor prescribed me sleeping tablets,<br />
yes at the age of 10!<br />
<br />
Sleeping tablets and Lyme do not mix, well they didn't for me anyway.<br />
<br />
All they did was make me hallucinate during the day my nightmares just got more vivid and even more scary than before.<br />
<br />
I was taken off them at age 12 at least somebody used their sense, I was sent to a psychologist as it was thought, my disturbed sleep was a psychological problem.<br />
<br />
As I have already mentioned on this page : <a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/insomniasleep-disturbance-lyme.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/insomniasleep-disturbance-lyme.html</a><br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Treatment and Nightmares </u></h3>
<br />
I have found that when I first started taking MMS before bed,<br />
the sleep disturbance , sleep talking, walking and nightmares did carry on for about 6 months.<br />
Now I have found my sleeping pattern has vastly improved, I do get a restful sleep.<br />
I do not suffer from insomnia, except when I did contract Norovirus, then the insomnia did come back, while I struggled with that and the flu I had afterwards.<br />
Refer to this page :<a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/norovirus-lyme.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/norovirus-lyme.html</a><br />
<br />
and this page:<a href="http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/flu-lyme.html" target="_blank">http://diaryoflymegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/flu-lyme.html</a><br />
<br />
Maybe the insomnia came back because well both illness's are quite a challenge, when one is trying to cope with treating an illness like Lyme/spirochete infection or even the fragments that have been left behind, it really is not surprising something has to give.<br />
<br />
I am still recovering from the affects of the flu and slowly but surely am getting better, thank goodness the insomnia is gone. <br />
<br />
Since treating the Lyme/spirochete infection the vivid nightmares have ceased.<br />
<br />
I am not going to say yet, once and for all as I am not 100% sure all the spirochetes are gone yet.<br />
Still the fragments are there which in themselves can be disabling, painful and the swelling comes and goes and yes I will say my condition does fluctuate but treating is oh so worth all of that.<br />
<br />
After talking to those who are on antibiotics for their Lyme, they also suffer from nightmares, most have been on antibiotics for a year or more.<br />
<br />
So it seems no matter how one chooses to treat the spirochete infection, one can still suffer from the nightmares, night terrors, sleep walking/talking, insomnia and any sleep disturbance but this will pass eventually.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Don't give up</u></h3>
<br />
I feel the most important issue is treating theLyme/spirochete infection, whether one has been diagnosed with any autoimmune disease, which as Dr Lida Mattman said :<br />
" The root cause<u> of any autoimmune disease </u> is a bacterial infection"<br />
<br />
Even if one has been diagnosed with M.S and as I have Quoted Dr Lida Mattman :<br />
" M.S should be renamed Multiple Spirochetes"<br />
the main issue is treatment whether it be MMS or antibiotics, just be rest assured one day ones body will be rid of the infection for good, the nightmares will go.<br />
<br />
Just do not give up treating yourself. <br />
<br />
Treating Lyme/spirochete infection is not a sprint it's a marathon.<br />
<br />
I know how hard it can be and yes even when one is feeling better keep on with the treatment cos those spirochetes are crafty little devils.<br />
<br />
There is many a time my children and I have given up hope or got fed up with taking MMS day and night but we gently motivate each other to persevere.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
This is again a very intresting article about cognitive impairment and Lyme.<br />
<div class="p5" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p5" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Introduction:</span></b></div>
<div class="p5" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
patient is a college graduate with <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span>
encephalopathy (LE). While stopped at a traffic light, she described her
thought processes as having a “fog-like” sluggishness. When the light changes,
she knows the change from red to green has significance, but at that moment
cannot recall that green means go and red means stop.</span></div>
<div class="p5" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
is one of many examples of cognitive impairments associated with <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease. Although some cognitive symptoms are indirectly
a result of other neurological or emotional impairments, others are a direct
result of dysfunction of the cerebral cortex where cognitive processing occurs.
Laboratory tests such as SPECT scans, <span class="SpellE">MRI’s</span>, PET
scans, and psychological testing have demonstrated physiological and anatomical
findings associated with<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>dysfunction
of the cerebral cortex in patients with <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> and
tick-borne diseases. The <span class="GramE">examination of human and animal
brains have</span> further supported these findings.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="p8" style="line-height: 15.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The cognitive impairments from <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span>
disease are very different than we see in Alzheimer’s disease. <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease is predominately a disease of the white
matter, while Alzheimer’s is predominately a disease of the gray matter. Memory
association occurs in the white matter, while memory is stored in the gray
matter. White matter dysfunction is a difficulty with slowness of recall, and
incorrect associations. In contrast, gray matter dysfunction is a loss of the
information which has previously been stored. For example, and Alzheimer’s
patient may not recall the word “pen”, while an LE patient may have a slowness
of recall or retrieval of a closely related word. Some of the symptoms I will
describe are also found in <span class="SpellE">encephalopathies</span>
associated with other illnesses, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus
stroke, AIDS, or other diseases which affect the brain. Although no single sign
or symptom may be diagnostic of <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease in a
mental status exam, we instead look for a cluster and a pattern of signs and
symptoms that are commonly associated with <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span>
disease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Everyone with LE has their own unique profile of
symptoms. The assessment of these signs and symptoms is one facet of the total
clinical assessment of <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">There are many
ways of categorizing cognitive functioning. Let’s begin with a simple model of
perception, encoding these perceptions into<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">
</b>memory, processing what we perceive, imagery<sub>, </sub>and finally
organizing and planning a response.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Simple mental functions<i> </i>such as flexing the index finger of the
right hand, correlates with a relatively simple brain circuitry<span class="GramE">..</span> More complex functions such as flying an airplane <span class="GramE">requires</span> the action of a more integrated neural circuitry.
The difference between these two actions is like the difference between playing
middle C on a piano vs. a symphony playing an entire concert.</span></div>

<div class="p5" style="line-height: 14.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Many
<span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease patients have acquired attention
impairments which were not present before the onset of the disease. There may
be difficulty sustaining attention, increased distractibility when frustrated,
and a greater difficulty prioritizing which perceptions are deserving of a
higher allocation of attention.</span></div>
<div class="p22" style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0in; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; tab-stops: .5in 97.0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>If we compare attention span to the
lens of a camera, we need the flexibility to constantly shift the allocation of
attention dependency upon the current life situation. For example, we shift
back and forth between a wide angle and a zoom lens focus to increase or
decrease acuity of attention depending on the needs of the current situation. A
loss of this flexibility results in some combination of a loss of acuity (<span class="SpellE">hypoacusis</span>), and/or excessive acuity to the wrong
environmental perceptions (<span class="SpellE">hyperacusis</span>). <span class="SpellE">Hyperacuity</span> can be auditory (hearing), visual, tactile
(touch), and olfactory (smell). </span></div>
<div class="p22" style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0in; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; tab-stops: .5in 97.0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Auditory <span class="SpellE">hyperacusis</span>
is the most common. Sounds seem louder and more annoying. Sometimes there is
selective auditory <span class="SpellE">hyperacusis</span> to specific types of
sounds. Visual <span class="SpellE">hyperacusis</span> may be in response to
bright lights or certain types of artificial lighting. Tactile <span class="SpellE">hyperacusis</span> may be in response to tight fitting or scratchy
clothing, vibrations, temperature and merely being touched may be painful. Some
patients prefer to wear loose fitting sweat suits and are frustrated that being
touched can be painful. Olfactory <span class="SpellE">hyperacusis</span> may
result in an excessive reactivity to certain smells, such as perfumes, soaps,
petroleum products, etc. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Memory is the storage and retrieval of
information for later use. There <span class="GramE">are</span> several different
memory deficits associated with LE. Memory is broken down into several
functions – working memory, memory encoding, memory storage and memory
retrieval. </span></div>
<div align="left" class="p29" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: .5in 74.0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Working memory is a component of
executive functioning. An example of working memory is the ability to spell the
word “world” backwards. Sometimes there are impairments of working memory as it
pertains to a working spatial memory, i.e. forgetting where doors are located
or where a car is parked.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="p29" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Encoding is the placement of a
memory into storage. We cannot retrieve a memory that was<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>not encoded correctly into memory in the first place.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>One patient described being upset that
someone had eaten yogurt in her kitchen during the night. Her activity during
the night was not encoded into memory.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="p29" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Short term (recent) memory is the
ability to remember information for <span class="GramE">relatively<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brief</span> periods of time. In contrast,
long term memory is information from years in the past (or remote).</span></div>
<div align="left" class="p29" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In LE<span class="GramE">,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>there</span> is first a
loss of short term memory followed by a loss of long term memory very late in
the illness. Patients may have slowness of recall with different types of
explicit (or factual) information, such as words, numbers, names, faces or
geographical/spatial cues. Not as common, there may also be slowness of recall
if implicit information, such as tying shoes, or doing other procedural memory
tasks.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="p29" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: left;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Errors in memory retrieval include
errors with letter and/or number sequences. This can include letter reversals,
reversing the sequence of letters in words, spelling errors, number reversals,
or word substitution errors (inserting the opposite, closely related or wrong
words in a sentence.</span></div>

<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Processing is the creation of associations which allow us to interpret
complex information and to respond in an adaptive manner. Some LE patients say
they feel like they acquired dyslexia or other learning disabilities, which
were not present previously. Examples of processing functions that may be
impaired in the presence of LE include the following:<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

result in spatial perceptual distortions. One example is <span class="SpellE">microscopia</span>,
in which things seem smaller than they really are. One patient lost depth
perception, and had several accidents when the car in front of her stopped. A
problem associated with visual spatial processing is optic ataxia, in which
there is difficulty targeting movements through space. For example, there may
be a tendency to bump into doorways, difficulty driving and parking a car in
tight spaces, and targeting errors when placing and reaching for objects. One
patient with optic <span class="GramE">ataxia,</span> was stopped by a policeman
while driving two miles to my office because he kept swerving across the center
line. Before <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease he could consistently shoot
13 to 14 out of 15 free throws from the basketball foul line. Now he averages 3
of 15, and misses some shots <span class="GramE">be</span> several feet. </div>

scientific terms: it is best described as a slowness, weakness, and inaccuracy

An assessment of each of these areas of functioning is a
critical component in the clinical assessment of LE. The cognitive assessment
is only a part of the assessment of LE. Other components include the
psychiatric assessment, the neurological assessment, <span class="GramE">a</span>
review of somatic symptoms, epidemiological considerations and laboratory
testing when indicated. I have gradually developed a structured cognitive
assessment which focuses upon the areas mentioned after examining many patients
with late stage <span class="SpellE">neuropsychiatric</span> <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span>
disease. I have also incorporated concepts from others that have made major
contributions in this area, such as Drs. <span class="SpellE">Rissenberg</span>, <span class="SpellE">Nields</span>, Fallon, <span class="SpellE">Freundlich</span> and <span class="SpellE">Bleiwiss</span>. It is difficult to explain exactly how <span class="SpellE">Lyme</span> disease causes cognitive impairments. The variability
of these symptoms suggests an episodic<br />
release of <span class="GramE">a</span> <span class="SpellE">endotoxin</span> or
cytokine which may contribute to the cognitive dysfunction. This is an area
where considerable research is needed, and is beyond the scope of this article.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The symptoms described are
often very difficult for patients to describe, and are difficult for many
physicians to understand. As a result, patients with these impairments are
sometimes erroneously viewed as being <span class="SpellE">hypochondriachal</span>,
psychosomatic, depression, or malingering.<br />
These symptoms are real and must be explained: that cannot be discounted as
being imaginary.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many treatment
strategies. Antibiotics and a number of different <span class="SpellE">psychotropics</span>
are helpful to many. I have found <span class="SpellE">Aricept</span> to be
helpful in the treatment of “brain fog” and problems with slowness of
retrieval.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To those of <span class="GramE">you</span>
who have LE, be realistic about your limitations and the validity of these
limitations. Use strong areas to compensate for areas of weakness. Avoid
excessive stress which compounds the problem. Be aware that certain tasks
challenge many higher level attributes. Maintain hope and retain an effective
working relationship with your family, support system and treatment team.<br />
