Hi all,

I'm seeing an Klindhart trained, ART pracicing specialist in the UK and have been doing so for the last 6 months.

I diagnosed with Lyme by an elisa and CD 57 (low score of 18) in September 09 and have been recieving a combination of antibiotic and herbal treatments since then.

In the ART testing, borrelia never seems to come up for some reason. Mycoplasma is fairly consistent as well as virus such as herpes and chicken pox which come and go. I've asked my practioner about why it never comes up and he says its fairly unusual.

I'm having another blood test done for Lyme next week.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with muscle testing, art etc where borrelia never come up despite being formally diagnosed.

I'm still suffering from a variety of neurological symptoms, as well a seeing what look spirochettes in my left eye.

Could it be that I've actually gotten rid of lyme and that virus + mycoplasma are causing my woes?

Any feedback is most appreciated.

Thanks

Ade

I get a form of muscle testing done with one of the doctors I see.

I found my last appt particularly interesting because I tested positive for having adrenal issues. BUT, I didn't test all that great for adrenal support supplements.

However, when I tested with some anti-parasite supps, my testing for the adrenals showed that would be good. In other words, he believes if I treat my parasites, my adrenals will do well.

I hope that makes sense.

I wonder if what is happening with you is that lyme isn't the major issue at this point? Maybe you need to address some other infections or problems FIRST, then address the lyme?

Feels like everyday I'm alone. Not because I don't have any friends around me at the time, just because no one understands what I really feel like everyday.

I pretend to be happy so I don't have to explain myself to people who'll never understand.

Thanks for the swift repsonse.

I think his approach is all about dealing with things in layers to give your immune system a break in order for it to allow your body to heal itself.

Removing the strain of parasites would give your body more resources and energy to invigorate your adrenals so I guess this makes sense.

Perhaps I'm simply too impatient Smile

I'm curious to see who my next blood test goes next week, I'll be sure to keep you guys informed.

Thanks again

Adey
