Any suggestions for the brain fog???

I went from a near photographic memory before the tick bite to forgetting even basic things, unable to balance a checkbook even, and constant annoying brain fog. Is there any supplements I can take to help out? I have never had treatment and have had this for well over ten years, so it's a part of my everyday life and I am disabled now. The pain is bad at times, but the dang fog in my brain is what really makes this disease a pain in the neck. I space off constantly!!!

There are MANY layers Cave.
I never said this was going to be simple. lol!
This is for everyone who happens to read my post.
Please be patient. It may be very rewarding if you are able to use some of the following information

I base  EVERYTHING primarily on  Energy .
Every single breathe you take, every heart beat, every thought,
every emotion, every food you put into your mouth, every chemical in your body.... well you get the idea, it  all has to do with Energy.

David Hawkins, the author of Power vs Force, gives us a very simple scale of Energetic frequencies/vibrations in a numerical representation of attitudes and emotions,  and by using principles from kinesiology* and acupuncture, he then establishes the association of  attractor fields
with  our health and well-being.
One great tool stemming from Dr. D. Hawkins work as a healing psychiatrist, which work by the way has been driven by his own childhood spiritual experience of the Infinite Presence, is  the methodology to determine instantly the truth or falsehood of any statement or anything presented as fact!

Now, I have studied Energy Medicine extensively, an upcoming field in Health and well-being that holds the possibility to make remarkable inroads in addressing our serious medical crisis, in regards to physical, mental and emotional health.
My intention here is not to convince anyone that this is the New Big Secret, that will change you lives forever, nonetheless it did change mine lol!
No, what I posit here is to challenge yourselves outside the established
medical box, look into other possibilities, expand your knowledge, but to do this you must be open to what information you come across.
Discarding advice  prematurely as controversial, not approved by FDA, not endorsed by some government dept or whatever may not be to your own best interest!
Special interest groups, big business and politics dominate the playing
field, so it is NOT level!!!
I'm sure, dealing with Lyme Disease you have your own negative experiences  within  such a dysfunctional system.

So I hope you take some time to research some of the ideas I'm
posting here, with an open mind.

*Applied Kinesiology can be used to evaluate the vibrational frequency of foods.
Low vibrational foods include all packaged and processed. Meat, pasteurized dairy products (most contain hormones and antibiotics), cereals, grains, refined sugars, sodas, alcohol and caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and refined vegetable oils (corn, soybean and canola oils) vibrate at lower frequencies.
Natural fats like butter, olive oil, and Coconut Oil have a high vibrational lfrequency.
Coconut oil also  is Anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic and it does not become pro-inflammatory when used in cooking with heat. Source: The coconut research center website.
  Table salt has a low vibration because it is an unnatural chemical manufactured from sodium chloride and chemical additives at very high temperatures. Almost every processed food contains this type of salt, many in large amounts unfortunately
Himalayan salt  and natural raw sea salt on the other hand, contain all of the 84 elements found in the body, which are connected to the crystalline structure in a harmonious state.

There are many different ways to raise your own vibrational  frequencies.
Some that I use are :
1. Proper Breathing. (normal breathing website)
2. Meditation (daily -conscious breathing meditation) -I LUV Sonia Choquette- my favorite spiritual teacher- free  video clips on YouTube
3. High vibration foods.
4. Alkaline water.
5. Chanting Mantras
6. Practicing good Karma.
7. Seeing the goodness in everyone.
8. Learning from the ones you can't (in #7) They are there to Teach you!
9. Connecting with nature.
10. Heal Your Life!!! Read the book -Louise Hay- with the same title.

By no means this is a complete list, but I just wanted to give you an idea.

Once you climb much higher, on the frequency scale, you will never look back. You lives will be changed for the better, forever, no matter what!

  Cave, I'm very happy you are in remission.Truly!
A rare success story here!
Shamans, meds, prayer,placebo, whatever works.

What I posted earlier, has been my own journey and I needed to rise well above my suffering and search for something much  greater than what was then offered to me.  In this journey, I discovered healing.
Words won't do it justice. So, I will leave it as such for now.

It doesn't matter what's in front of us, besides us or behind us.
These are small matters.
What REALLY matters is what's within us!

This is not intended as a substitute for medical advice.

I might be way off topic here, however, I'm hopeful, that it will help
some(one).  It's helping me anyway lol! see #6 above.
If anyone needs more details, please let me know!

Blessings to all!
Niko

Ah, thank you, I think. :)

So I assume that you had some rather serious health issues which you decided not to try and have diagnosed or treated by the 'medical merry-go-round'.

Where does coconut oil factor into that?

>It also sounds as if you were very disillusioned by the doctors and the medical community, which many here, and certainly myself, have experienced. Some, though, have become well without sitting with the 'healers'. I had a wonderful 3-4 year remission with no shamanic help. I did have a lot of help from bicillin.

Cave, this rabbit is hard to catch, even for me.lol!
Excerpt from my reply in question:
"The fact is that I come from a similar place, NOT from Lyme disease, NOT from MS, NOT from FMS, NOT from some Psycho-neurological disorder, but a condition that I considered at the end to NOT have it diagnosed, as the medical merry-go-round, was not for me!
It was a life altering decision to disregard totally the value-or rather the lack of value to me- of a medical label."

I really don't know what I had, but deep inside me I believe underlying  whatever I had, there was a strong component of PSTD.

Love and Peace.

Niko----- humor me, please, with simple a yes or no. (grin)

Do you have Lyme disease?
Have you ever had Lyme disease?

Your 'answer' to my question sent me down the rabbit hole on a scavenger hunt (to mix metaphors) and I never did find an answer. (grin)

"Cave76, you answered your own question in a way, just read again my  second reply above your question."
