got a look at my blood

[kevieb]

i got to look at my blood yesterday.  the red blood cells were stacked together in really long stacks--hardly any individual cells you could get a good look at.  you could see little yellow things darting about around the red blood cells, and you could see that some of the bood cells had white centers inside them.  there was one blood cell that was all ragged and moving slightly--the gal told me that it was being eaten by a parasite and was about half gone.  there was one very large L-shaped thing that she said was either a parasite or something that had held a whole lot of parasites.  you could also see clumps of yellowish yeast in the blood smear.  there was also a large area of a slightly greenish sheen---my friend said it was biofilm.  the dried blood cells showed that i am malnourished---i know my diet needs major improvement.  my blood was too clumped together for the doctor to even be able to get a good look for spirochetes or cysts.   i am on some dietary supplements and will probably get a vitamin IV to help get  things jump started at improving my health.

my friend has seen alot of blood smears at this office and she told me she is almost positive i have lyme disease----but the CDC says that there is no lyme disease in idaho.........but i wasn't bit by a tick in idaho---it was in utah, and i have also lived in louisiana, new jersey and spent about a month in the summers in new york when i was little----so i could have picked it up anywhere besides idaho.                                                                

.this guy treats people from all over the US and even from as far as australia.  he is a chiropractor and a naturopath--i've never been into naturopathic stuff---but the medical community has not been able to do any thing for me.  i'm not sure how i feel about all this yet---or if i can afford the treatments he does--but we will see.

how are most of you being treated?

LLMD.

I went through 20+ other docs, none of whom had a clue.  Only one of them had the grace to look me in the eye and say, "I know you're sick.  I just don't know with what."  The rest of them just blew me off.

One doc, in desperation, ran a Lyme test, which came back positive, but she didn't think it was important.  That piece of paper however gave me the clue, and I found myself an LLMD.

Take care -- let us know how you do.

I was tested by a LLMD. LLMDs are most knowledgable when it comes to testing. Igenex is the best lab.

my only pos was from a LLMD thru IGENEX

i've decided i don't want to follow the line of treatment this naturpath/chiropractor uses---i can't afford it and my husband wouldn't be supportive of it, either, especially since this guy won't actually tell you if you have lyme---he will just tell you that you have a bacterial infection.  
  i would like to get tested by a legitimate lab---like igenex---but i don't want to have to go through our local hospital first.  i have heard that the ELISA tests are not accurate and that igenex tests more bars when they test for lyme.

were most of you tested by regular docs or by LLMDs?

  Same here with Ree and Jackie

Hello-
To answer your question about how are most of us being treated, I am being treated with a combination of natural and traditional medicine. Traditional being antibiotics and natural being different herbs and also various vitamins.

[[oops, hit the wrong key.]]  

The symptoms were very similar to what I was having from Lyme.

I was treated with antibiotics and vitamins/supplements, but would be open to trying Rife and herbs if I got infected again.

If you do have a yeast/fungal infection in your blood, I'm guessing your doc will treat that pretty soon.  I got a systemic fungal infection from the yeast-based probiotics I was taking, and I think from what I read that some people are just more susceptible to fungus than others.  The symptoms were very similar to
