Aug 2015
And here I am approaching my 17th anniversary with this monster. I can't tell you the exact date just sometime between my child's birth and first birthday, closer to the fall of that year I think.
I have many posts in drafts and maybe I'll just publish them as is but this is about today. Been up since 5 and am having a huge huge attack. These days, as in the last year or so, they are not always 4 hour trigger attacks, but sometimes 5 or 6 hours later.
I ate a tomato last night with my 10:00 evening meal. Tomatoes used to be one of the foods I could tolerate. But not any more.
I have tried several things over the past few years and my latest backfired. I have read other testomonials when people have stopped an herb or finish the meds the infection seems to come back worse and boy is that the case with me.
So I started on these herbs last Nov. I had done a program from Healing Within many years ago and I stayed on the herbs for a year because they held it at bay. I found a new doc in chicago and he thought mold was one of my problems and wanted me to go off all herbs so he could accurately test me. Anyway ( long stories I know but isn't that the case with any of us with this terrible parsite inflicted disease), I called them again to see if they had anything new. They have some minor success with blasto treatment. So I went on herbs from "rain forest pharmacy"; A-P and Simarouba. Amazing. They were so clearly potent and by the holiday's I was eating cauliflower and red potatoes with garlic and rosemary - heaven really.
Mean while my functional medicine doctor has been studying ozone therapy. The vast majority of his patients are lyme patients. So I research and read and decide to give it a try and from the first treatment I have die off. I did over 2 dozen and each time like clock work 48 hours later I had serious dies off. But I have extremely low blood pressure and only one vein for the injections so had to stop. I had no adverse issues stopping probably because the dosing had been so small and infrequent.
We discussed treatments where I could chose from either rectal insulflation or vaginally. And so after buying the equipment off I go. I opted for vaginally and in the beginning had die off. This went on for a few weeks and then I had nothing. No twinge, no intestinal movement like it was being annoyed, no cramping or hot spot twinges. And then it really seemed like I was actually getting worse.
I stopped 5 days ago and now I am sicker than I have ever been. I tolerate nothing but chicken and pumpkin and zucchini. I have sat in parking lots this week and cried because grocery stores are out of zucchini and it is all I can eat. I have also gone back to the herbs and while they still seem to bother it, it is clear that they are not nearly as potent. Time to try and find something else. For today though I am going to bring oil of oregano back to see what happens. 10 years ago it was my golden ticket for a year.
I know everyone with blasto seems to have a variation of symptoms and have had it for different periods of time and have different strains etc. It is almost like our finger prints - unique to each one of us. But I am in the Ozone does not work camp. I even read an actual scientific article that not all life stages were susceptible to ozone and it would basically be able to stay put until the ozone dissipated.
Who knows. At some point I think I might start trying to perform research myself.
Until next time - here's to the hopes that you can eat more than chicken today and to having enough faith to believe in healing
