Patience needed?

Thanks to the comments from Sixgoofykids on my last post, I was reminded of the patience that I need in this treatment process. Six was under the care of Dr. W in Germany and learned from the horse's mouth that the treatment would take longer to work without the live borrelia vials that are used at Dr. W's clinic. Having heard that, I don't feel so bad that I didn't quite herx or improve as quickly as I had hoped. The "miracle cure" that I had in mind for the Bionic 880 wasn't so realistic an expectation after all, at least not without the live vials.

I guess I'll have to bug Lady X for longer than I previously anticipated. I can't emphasize enough on her graciousness.

This morning, I'm not feeling too bad. Brain fog is there but not too debilitating. My extremities were extremly cold throughout yesterday and last night, and I eventually went into a hot bath to bring my body temperature back up in the evening. I did feel a bit of a headache after the hot bath, which was not usual for me. Perhaps my immune system was working to kick some Lyme butts bugs?

The day after treatment

Today, the day after my 3rd treatment with the Bionic (2nd at 100% power), I have not noticed any significant worsening of symptoms.  My brain fog is just as usual (no improvement compared to pre-treatment).  As such, this deviates from my previous two treatments following which I had noticeable increase in symptom intensity.  

I do wish to report that for the last week or so, I have been having an abnormal sensation in my liver / right kidney area.  It is not unpleasant, but it rather feels like a minor cramp that is barely noticeable.  It also comes and goes, rather than being a constant sensation.  

I was tested positive energetically for Lyme affecting my liver, so I don't know if my body is going after the Lyme infection there and deal with the brain later.  Wishful thinking perhaps?  But it is not inconceivable that the body exercises such intelligence once the immune system is rectified by the photons.  

As it stands, I really don't know what to make out of the Bionic treatment thus far, but I'll definitely stick with it for at least 6 sessions at 100% power.  I have also made an appointment with my LLMD to get tested on his Vega machine for Lyme after the 6th treatment, so I'll know if the Bionic did anything for me at all even if I don't feel it.

I have ordered the Borrelia Burgdorferi nosodes from Staufen-Pharma today.   Those are the exact same nosodes that Dr. W uses for his patients in Germany.  I really should have ordered them before I started treatment on the Bionic, instead of using the Desbio ones; but I'm in a rush to get well so I dove right into it with the Desbio nosodes.  Anyway, if things don't improve after a few more treatments, I would consider switching to the S-P nosodes and see if they make a difference.  It is always good to have a Plan B.

Another thing that came to mind regarding the effectiveness of the treatment as I administered it would be the use of vials with live Borrelia samples by Dr. W on his patients in Germany.  That is the one thing that I don't have the luxury of having when administering the treatments on myself at Lady X's place.  Perhaps the lack of the live sample vial on the solar plexus would take the treatment longer to produce results?  

I am not going to quickly write off this treatment as another one that I fail to respond to.  After all, I have only really had 2 treatments so far with nosodes that are frankly less than ideal.  There are simply too many success stories from fellow Lyme sufferers who's been to Germany and came back Lyme-free.  This is the most promising treatment modality that I have come across yet, and I am not changing my opinion unless I have made sure I've done everything correctly as Dr. W would.  

It is an experiment with my own body to say the least.  But then again, isn't that true with so many other treatments that I have explored so far?  Salt/C, MMS, ozone, IRT, etc... So this process is not foreign to me in any way.

My 3rd Bionic 880 Treatment

Had my 3rd Bionic 880 treatment today; my 2nd at 100% power.  

Not much to report on the treatment itself, other than the fact that I have transferred my nosodes from my fat clear vials to skinnier ones that Lady X got from eBay.  The skinnier vials are similar in size to the original amber vials that the Desbio nosodes came in.  

The reason for the transfer is so the vials could all stay closer to the center of my body (at the solar plexus), rather than being spreaded out like a belt across the bottom of my chest.  Hopefully the treatment would work better that way.

I will see if my brain fog and other symptoms get worse tomorrow.  If so, that would be a clear pattern of the Bionic 880's effect after each treatment day so far.  

On another note, I received a Lyme disease wristband from Lady X today similar to this one:

I'll make sure I wear it if I ever go camping again to remind myself and others of the reality of Lyme disease out there.

Second day after the second treatment

I am definitely feeling better this morning upon getting up, compared to yesterday.  I truly can't say if I was having a herx from the Bionic treatment yesterday, but the brain fog and mental debilitation was definitely notable.  I guess I will see if the pattern repeats after my 3rd Bionic session before drawing any conclusion.

Today, my mental clarity is better (compared to yesterday), though it is still within the range of my usual symptom level prior to the treatment, so I can't say I am improving from the Bionic treatment either.  

And since I haven't been knocked off my feet yesterday by any means, I would like to push ahead with another Bionic session tomorrow.  

By the way, I have sent in my saliva sample to Allergie-Immun for their testing and prescription of the special drops.  The sample should arrive at AI's door in about a week or two.  I'll keep you posted on that front as well.

I think it might be the herx...

Half way into the day, I think the heavy brain fog today is likely an indication that the Bionic treatment is up to something.  No crying spell or anything like that yet as warned by Lady X, but the heavy brain fog is unusual.  Normally I could sit in front of my computer throughout most of my days, but today I found that it is necessary to get away from it because my brain just couldn't quite take it.  

So I hope this is truly the effect of the Bionic treatment, but compared to the first treatment where the power level was only at 25%, I was definitely expecting more from the 100% power level treatment that I had yesterday.  I will continue to report how I feel in the hours and days to come.
