"Nature itself is the best physician."
Dear Reader,
I am pleased to be able to report that I am up to five of the Lyme Core Protocol
supplements a day (on my way to six a day until I reach twelve week by week),
and show no signs of worsening symptoms, and very minor symptoms for both
Lyme and the Candida overgrowth.
It is still a few months yet before I go to see the doctor and get my Candida lab work
back, My hope, is that it will show to be minor after all the changes I've made and
healing work I've been doing.
The SCD diet agrees with me greatly, and I have been making sure to keep on my
outdoor adventures. The mountains really help so much.
It's a fine mixture of the sweat on the hike, the knowledge along the trail (I'm
continuing to develop my woodland identification knowledge), the company I have
with me on my adventures, and the scenery.
I personally find the process beneficial to mind, body and soul.
When I first realized that I had Lyme disease, I had feared that I would not be able to
hike again, or lead any kind of a normal life.
I celebrate each symptom less day, and find in each one multiple blessings.
I still have not bathed in the city water that we have at our current home nor have I ingested it orally, and I believe that this has aided in my health.
On an ecstatic note: WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!
In prior writings, I had mentioned that we has been on the lookout for a house with
good well water and enough land to grow food on, and here this month we have been
with a house that has both to offer.
This past weekend was Halloween weekend, and I spent it packing and preparing
for a garden to start by the Spring. I hope to be able to grow the many vegetables and
berries that I have to eat and pay a decent price for at the market.
I have also made contacts and am able to start buying fresh grassfed cow meat
straight from the farm, and a decent source of raw milk.
So far things are coming together for me nutritionally, which leaves me feeling
hopeful for the future.
I do plan on recovering fully, and leaving this all behind me.
So far, I've had to change the way I eat and cook completely, the way I manage my
stress and some behaviors, my residence and even how much I bathed for a short
while there before we found the house.
These sacrifices and changes will benefit my future, and I feel that something as s severe as Lyme Disease should have a defense just as serious right back at it.
I find myself feeling grateful that I have caught this disease early enough, as well as
having the ability to move, eat the way I need to and supplement myself properly. I
am also grateful that I am not dragging children and a family through this ordeal with
me. I can't even begin to imagine how taxing this all would be for some families, and
parts of it (like the change of residence) impossible.
When the worst becomes worst, I think of these things. And get outside. Alas! The
winter comes, and I dread cabin fever and the wanting to venture out of doors when
it might be better for me to stay put.
I'll find something out, that's for certain.
Tonight, I leave you nearly symptom free, and hoping to stay good and on course.
