I’ve been thinking about the many, many, many doctors I’ve seen and the numerous treatments and therapies I’ve done. I wanted to start documenting both of these - what better place to do that than right here? * means I continue to see this practitioner or still doing this therapy Doctors & Practitioners At least…
Girl Talk!
We never talk about the one thing we girls need to be talking about - vaginal health. It’s uncomfortable. It’s private. It’s personal. And it’s important. I’ve been lucky enough to have not been burdened with many problems I’ve the years. Periods were pretty normal until after my 2nd baby was born. After that, they…
In 2022, I went to Florida for prolotherapy injections in my neck. The damage to my neck is significant. I have cervical instability, which means the ligaments in my neck are loose (they should be tight like coiled bed springs). You can learn more here: Hauser Neck Center visit. That has helped tremendously but more…
I’ve been interested in grounding (or earthing as some call it) for several years but really hadn’t looked into it until recently. Several years ago, I told one of my doctors that I feel like my feet are claustrophobic - I hate wearing shoes. He took one of his shoes off and showed me his…
Reducing Sound Levels
One of the challenges with Lyme+ and HSP (Highly Sensitive People) can be sensitivity to light, sound, touch, & smell. Touch and smell I can usually avoid (especially at home), but light and sound is more difficult. My daughter is extreme HSP and often has to recluse to her room because the world is just…
Procaine Injections
Cervical Instability is when the ligaments in the neck are too loose. It literally feels like my neck isn’t strong enough to hold up my head. I went to Florida last summer to get prolotherapy - which is essentially injecting sugar water to force the body to flood the neck with healing cells, helping to…
Parasites
Every full moon, pain and weakness increase and I feel just awful. Parasites are active during this phase - moving through the body and into the gut. We are going to start a protocol to try and reduce or eliminate parasites. My daughter is extremely sensitive so she is on reduced dosages over 52 days…
Tools for Healthy Living
I've been seeing a lot of articles and videos about getting well lately that are pretty linear in thought. Do THIS and you'll get well! To be honest, these rub me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong - the tools they are proposing are good tools, they're just not necessarily the cure all they…
Ayurveda – Pancha Karma
Yesterday, I started a new to me therapy called Pancha Karma. If it sounds like I'm speaking a foreign language, I am. Ayurveda is the traditional medicine practice in India. Ayurveda means "knowledge of life" (ayur = life, veda = science/knowledge). It is rooted in the concept that disease is due to a person's imbalance…
Update – Jan 12, 2023
Happy New Year! The end of the year is always hard to stay on track with wellness protocols - especially detox. January, for me, is a good time to set goals and create a lifestyle focused on moving my health forward. My husband and I met with my doctor, Steven Harris, this week. The two…
