After a hiatus of over 3 years, I'm back.

Earlier this year, my wife and I have finally decided that we will give Dr. Woitzel's clinic in Germany a try, to see if he could achieve any breakthrough in my chronic Lyme disease.  Despite various naturopathic treatments that I attempted over the past 3 years, including a 2-week trip to Idaho in the United States to the West Clinic for a round of intensive naturopathic IV treatments (daily EDTA, hydrogen peroxide, up to 100g of vitamin C, Procain injections, plus some other stuff), I experienced no improvement to my continued brain symptoms.

Though my experimentation with the Bionic 880 back in 2009 did not yield any positive results, one of my reasoning for paying a visit to Dr. Woitzel's clinic is that his treatment makes use of a nosode of the actual Borrelia bacteria, which is not accessible outside of his clinic.  Besides, I have read mostly positive feedback from the people that went to his clinic.  Most confirmed that their Lyme-related infections were all cleared by Dr. Woitzel's treatments, and that they are living a new life after Lyme.

It's going to be an expensive trip -- our budget for this trip is CAD$10,000 (about the same in USD).  But I was desperate and didn't really have another alternative.  I realized that there is no guarantee that the treatment would bring me back to health, but as long as there is a reasonable chance of success, I had to give it a try.  I simply refused the option of living with my diseased body and mind as a life sentence.
