My Lyme Diseae Treatment

Many people have been asking me what my treatment is and how it is going.  I thought I would attempt an explanation here, though it is rather complicated.

  1. I am seeing my family doctor very frequently to get sleep support.  Insomnia plagues many with Lyme Diseae.  I have tried every natural sleep therapy and supplement I can, and nothing has worked.  I've heard one doctor describe sleep as nature's nurse.  There is little hope of improving my health if I am not sleeping, and actually my health takes a very drastic dive when I lack sleep.  This means I am taking some sleep medications until I can teach my body to sleep on its own.
  2. I am awaiting appointments with an Infectious Disease Specialist as well as an Environmental Health Speciacalist in order to delve deeper into what is happening in my body.
  3. I am receiving gentle detox protocols from a doctor in order to try to eliminate heavy metal poisoning from my body.  These are supplements that I take. 
  4. I am receiving acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic care and naturopathic care to help me cope with all the varying symptoms (intense pain, debilitating fatigue and weakness, emotional fragility, etc).
  5. My primary treatment is the most complicated to explain.  In order to kill the Lyme Bacteria, I am being treated with a Bicom machine, a technology from Germany, which is energy therapy. Basically, the Bicom Machine is able to reverse the energy imprint of the Lyme bacteria in my body.  When that energy imprint is reversed, the environment in my body becomes impossible for the bacteria to survive in.  In my research, I have found that this seems to be the most effective and safest way to treat Lyme Disease.  The typical way to treat it is with long term antibiotics (for up to 3-4 years or more).  Taking this many antibiotics can be quite dangerous, and still not be very effective.  Lyme bacteria is a spirochete (like the Syphilis bacteria) and it also has a biofilm which allows it hide in the body undetected...even when attacked by antibiotics.  This bacteria has become more and more resistant.  So this is why I have chosen the Bicom therapy.  Every three weeks I go to the clinic and sit in a comfortable chair for 2-3 hours.  I sit against a pad that is connected to the Bicom Machine, and it does its work.  I feel slightly groggy and a little funny during the treatment, but other than that nothing crazy happens.  Usually I am quite tired for the next three days after a treatment.  I have experienced great improvements already because of this therapy.  For a while my stomach got to be so sensitive it hurt to eat carrots.  I didn't know what to eat anymore.  Because of these therapies I am able to eat a lot more variety of food.  I am also very slowly increasing in energy.  I pray that God will hear my prayers and use this device to completely heal me.

    1. There is hope Lynette. Glad to hear you are being treated and that you are seeing improvements. The Lord hears the prayers of the righteous, and there are lots of people praying for you. Praise God for what he is doing in your life and in the life of others through your trials.

    2. Is the bicom therapy covered by Ohio?

    3. Hi Anonymous,
      Bicom therapy is under alternative medicine. I don't know if anyone in Ohio uses this, but if you found a naturopath who has this machine, it might be covered, depending on what kind of insurance you have. I am Canadian, so I don't know much about American insurance. I do know that Bicom is not covered by OHIP here, and it is not covered by my work insurance because I am seeing a homeopathic doctor for this. It is expensive, but worth it if I can get some semblance of a life back. And it is cheaper for me than going the route of antibiotics, as that may not be covered by my insurance either, because it is highly controversial to give long term antibiotics. Let me know if you have any other questions!
