rays of sunshine

I want to share some of the amazing improvements we've observed since I began IV antibiotics.

I was on oral antibiotics for a year, and made very little progress. Naturally, we've had many friends and family members asking whether IV treatment is helping me.

It is!

I still have really horrible days - severe pain and fatigue, inability to walk, seizures, psych issues, etc.

BUT my "good" days are getting better and are occuring more frequently.

Just to give you an idea of what we're seeing:

the "norm"	improvement
crushing fatigue confining me to lying in bed nearly all day	able to sit up more in bed & rest on the couch for a change of scenery
barely able to walk with assistance from bedroom to bathroom	less difficulty walking with assistance & increasingly able to walk on my own!
only able to walk from one room to another, if at all, & SO exhausted from doing so.	able to walk longer distances & not be so wiped out
incapacitated by perfumes, gasoline, detergents, fabric softener, etc.	it still really wears me down, but I'm not as reactive
blacking out, fainting routinely	not as frequently
little to no appetite, unable to gain weight	appetite has really improved! & I've finally regained some weight

I'm still housebound and severe fatigue confines me to bed/couch most of the time, only going out for medical appointments. But the increase in stamina, strength, and mobility is HUGE. So encouraging.

Besides the powerful IV antibiotics killing off lots of stuff, we've also been able to use more detoxification modalities* to better clear out the toxins released by the dying bacteria. That is really making a difference in me not being so toxic.
*IV glutathione, methylcobalamin [B12] shots, Meyers cocktails (IV vitamins), IV lactated ringers, colonics, lymph massage, etc. Our local MD, who is following some of Dr. Klinghardt's protocols, is having both of us slowly start the KPU/HPU protocol which will further help with detoxification.

Lately, we've been able to take occasional scenic drives - definite morale booster. Several weeks ago, I was strong enough for us to go to the beach! We lay out on a quilt and enjoyed the sunshine, sea breeze, and watching dolphins play in the waves.

I've got a long way to go, but am feeling much more encouraged and optimistic. This treatment is working.

We are so thankful that God is giving us these glimpses of blue skies that lie ahead.
