My Lyme Disease Journey
Hi Steemers! On May 2013, the night before I was supposed to go to Yosemite to climb Half Dome, my life changed forever. I was up all night with intestinal pain. This one symptom has grown to over 30+ symptoms I deal with on a daily basis.
I went from being a full time yoga teacher and massage therapist, full of energy, vitality, and with a true purpose in life to help people - to a life of trying to survive.
From thriving in every way...
... to just trying to survive the day.
Symptoms I Experience Daily (abbreviated):
- Extreme fatigue
- Sleeping no more than 3-4 hours/night
- Memory, cognitive, reaction speed, and vision greatly diminished.
- Haven't felt safe or capable to drive a car in almost a year.
- 24/7 pain throughout my body with fever symptoms
- Balance problems, dropping things, knocking things over.
- Neurologically impaired
- Constant GI (stomach & intestinal) pain, cramps, bloating... and many, many more.
Things I've tried over the last 4 years:
- Various Antibiotics
- Chinese medicine w/ herbs and acupuncture
- Over 100 different herbal protocols (hundreds of bottles and tinctures).
- Seen 20+ traditional MD's
- Physical Therapy, Chiropractic.
- 5 MRI's and 8 ultrasounds.
- 150+ IV infusions.
- Ozone IVs, UV light, Oxygen therapies, Rife, Coffee Enemas, Infrared Saunas...... and TONS, tons more. Just know, I've exhausted 99% of what's out there to get well with zero results.
Stem Cell Treatment
My last hope is to go to a clinic called Infusio in Los Angeles. They do a 2 week intensive full of different IV's and therapies, finishing with harvesting my own stem cells from fat (adipose) and infusing them back into my body. This is what I feel called to do to save my life and restore my livelihood. Many I know have been healed with this treatment when all else failed.
Conclusion
I've always wanted to help people. It's my purpose. To inspire others. Share my gifts with the world. These are things I cannot do while sick.When I get better, I will be able to work again. I will be able to share all my knowledge I've collected the last 4 years to educate others, help those with health issues seek solutions and answers, and be a voice to those who are too sick to speak. And to fight the insanity of how 99% of what I've done, including doctor visits, aren't covered by insurance.
This treatment costs $25,000. All the Steem & SBD this post generates will go towards my treatment. I cannot afford it at all, and I'm already in massive debt from the last 4 years. Thank you so much for helping me regain my health!
Much Love & Thanks,
Aaron
Hey Aaron. My heart goes out to you, truly. You are in an epic battle for your health now. In my experience, I have seen that Lyme and co-infections are attracted to heavy metal and that wherever you're body has stored the heavy metals from vaccines, dental amalgams and countless other exposure sources, the lyme and co-infections will thrive. I personally believe that a successful program for eliminating Lyme will include ridding the body of heavy metal toxicity. I have other thoughts as well on this if you ever want to reach out, but I have never heard of this treatment you are about to try and hope it is successful for you and that you will have no need of further advice. My you find complete wellness again in your journey, my friend :)

Yes it is. And treatment is never "one size fits all" as you're dealing with so many other issues, infections, complications as things progress. Hope this post gets some traction to help me fund it! @mydrall

Lyme disease is caused by a spirochaete type of a microbe, which means it basically behaves like a drill. Syphillis is also caused by a spirochaete and destroys the nervous system and the brain. Lately I read that antibacterial treamtment may also cause that this microbe strews itself throughout he body. This it is why it makes immunization impossible.
Some people use wild teasel (Dypsacus sylvestris) - pills or tincture and get better.
I can't give you any money, but I'll upvote and resteem you post. Wish you well.

So I am well aware that loads of people will offer you various treatments and you will likely not trust just some random post, but I'll provide this one anyway. I can recommend that you minimally sign up for this free trial and see how you feel afterwards. It's a scalar healing service that uses Tesla technology to treat you at a distance.
You'll likely think this is total bullshit and just some foofy new age garbage, but I can only say that it is absolutely worth your time to just sign up and try it for free. You can't lose and I expect you'll be incredibly surprised. Just be aware though that you might actually feel worse to start with as the body starts dumping all the toxins from the scalar treatment. This actually means that the treatment is working and not that it is failing. I wish you all the best

Hey Aaron,
Sorry to hear about your nightmare experience. I've always been convinced that Lyme disease can be cured with diet. Obviously you're not an average case.
That said, there's an herbalist by the name of Quang Van Nguyen who has a 100% success rate in curing Lyme. He has worked wonders with me in the past. He's in Arlington VT but he may be able to refer or instruct you remotely.
He's a 3rd generation master who started studying at 5 in a Buddhist monastery and is the author of a book called Fourth Uncle in the Mountain. It's a chance if all else fails. Good luck man.
