October 16, Exit Test:

Rather than a regular blog post, I figured I would do a video one instead to provide a better overall picture of what the Klein Guesthouse is like in addition to providing an update on the outcome of the exit test that I had at Dr. Woitzel's clinic.

I also apologize for the first part of the video in which the noise of the traffic totally drowned out my voice.  I was talking about the lack of EMF pollution in Dobel, which is the reason Dr. Woitzel recommends all his international patients to stay there.  According to Dr. Woitzel, it is important to minimize EMF exposure during the treatment period.

Despite the lack of apparent improvement to my brain symptoms, I am grateful to Dr. Woitzel and his staff at the clinic for taking care of me during my stay in Germany.  I still believe the photon treatment that Dr. W pioneered is the best and most effective treatment out there for chronic Lyme disease.  In my humble opinion, there is simply nothing more effective and have fewer side-effects at clearing the chronic Lyme infections than what the photon treatment offers.

However, since chronic Lyme is more than just the infections, I am not surprised more work needs to be done after the photon treatments to bring me to the level of health that I was hoping for.  From what I have heard though (from Karin and the clinic), most people experiences significant improvement after the standard round of treatments.  I guess I'm an odd case, but I'm not at all surprised as all of the numerous treatments and protocols that I tried over the past 7 years have failed.  At least now I know what I should focus on to get well, rather than playing a guessing game.

Would I recommend making the trip to Germany?  Had I known what I know now (about mercury toxicity being my primary issue), I would probably focus on detoxing mercury first before considering heading to Germany.  There is always a chance that the body's immune system would be restored to a strong enough level to go after the Lyme infections if the burden from heavy metals is lifted.  I just didn't know mercury was playing such a central role to my ailment all along.  I figured with the extensive chelation treatments that I have received over the years, mercury wouldn't have a chance.  But boy was I wrong.

I have just done some research on the product PCA-Rx and it seems to be a truly unique and excellent product for mercury detoxification.  I have just placed an order for 3 bottles to see how well it works.  I may also consider adding the homeopathic remedies ("sugar pills") to the mix to get the body to loosen up additional mercury during its use; sort of like a one-two punch.

Based on what I know now, I believe the use of chemical chelators is only one piece of the puzzle for mercury chelation.  I don't doubt that chemical chelators work for many people out there.  But for the most stubborn cases (i.e., myself), I believe a combination of energetic treatments (i.e., homeopathics and photons) and chemical chelators are required.  I have yet to try PCA-Rx so I can't tell if it alone would do the trick, since its manufacturer claims it works on the principle of clathration rather than the usual chelation.

I hope my little journal from Germany is of help to you if you are considering making the trip to see Dr. Woitzel.  Please feel free to send me any questions you have at lymiccanada@gmail.com.
