Robot Fights Lyme Disease

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Camille

Posted July 26, 2013.  Thank goodness for smart people with good ideas! An interesting twist on the war on Lyme disease.   The guys at Virginia Military Institute have come up with a robot that mimics a host in the wild and thereby attracts ticks and subsequently kills them.  Here’s how it works:  a small amount of carbon dioxide is released which triggers the host seeking instinct of the tick.  The carbon dioxide in combination with the movement of the robot attracts the tick.  The tick jumps onto a cloth saturated with pesticide which the robot is dragging behind it and voila!  Many ticks are killed.  It isn’t the be all end all to the Lyme disease problem or tick born disease problem, but any time tick populations are reduced, it’s a good thing.  Guess it beats shooting deer.  Haha!

Anyway, hats off to the professors at the Virginia Military Institute.  Keep up the good work guys!

Full Moon and Lyme Disease

Posted on July 21, 2013 by Camille

Updated September 16, 2013   Jump on it now.  Full moon guys, time to get those Lyme disease bacteria and any other co-infections and/or parasites you might have.  There are credible arguments which suggest that they come out of hiding to reproduce during a  full moon (and possibly during a new moon as well).

Jump on it.  Starting this Thursday September 19, we will be having a full moon.  Talk to your LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor) about upping your meds temporarily to nail as many of them as you can.

Additionally talk to your doctor about crushing and eating as much raw garlic as you can.  Take with food and chase with water.  Raw garlic is a powerhouse.  It will knock out a lot of stuff.  Anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial.  And cheap.

Step up the green juice during the full moon too.  Deliver phytonutrients straight into your blood stream and cells.  Organic fresh green juice on an empty stomach. Bam!

I know this will make you feel awful, but if you want to be rid of this crap (forgive the emphasis), you have to fight HARD.  Take advantage of this moon.

Fight.  That means: eat correctly now, as much fresh green juice as you can, raw garlic and blast the meds.  Once you’ve done all that, lie on your couch and rest so your white blood cells can take up all that good energy and pound away at the crap that’s inside of you.

Fight.  Get in the ring now while you have a good chance.  Fight while the moon is on your side. Yes, I know it’s going to be tough, but Fight!

Bishop’s Peak and Lyme Disease

Posted on July 19, 2013 by Camille

Posted July 19, 2013.  Great hike up Bishop’s Peak today, in fact, ran part of it.  1,546 feet.  Then we scrambled around on the rocks at the summit.  Bishop’s Peak is the tallest of the Morros, or Nine Sisters as they are called,  in San Luis Obispo, which is in central California. It used to be a volcano.  Great views of  Cerro San Luis (another volcano) on the way down.

Lots of switch backs and difficult climbing at points.  Strength.  That’s what Lyme disease is all about.  Don’t stop till you make it to the top.

Irresistible Urge and Lyme Symptoms

Posted on July 13, 2013 by Camille

Posted July 13, 2013.  It’s an irresistible urge.  If I come to a flight of stairs, I have to run up them.  It doesn’t matter what I’m wearing or where I’m going. I’ll often run up stairs in high heels on the way to a client meeting, or to a meeting in judge’s chambers.  I love the sudden jolt, the beautiful pounding of my heart, the high intensity which is so good for my body and my brain.  When at the top of the stairs I feel the oxygen rushing through my body, I am clear and fresh and ready to go into whatever meeting is awaiting me.  My brain is at it’s peak.

Run up stairs if you can and as often as you can! Dr. Burrascano says it’s the ones who exercise who stay recovered from Lyme disease.

Of course if you are still suffering from Lyme symptoms and Lyme disease, don’t do it yet.  But here’s what you can do:  Visualize yourself running up that flight of stairs.  Are you going to take two at a time or do one at a time at double speed?

For one year I had to sleep downstairs in my two story house.  Took a year before I could hobble up the stairs, gripping the banister with all that I had.

Run the stairs now, or know that you will later.  Feel the happy rush of oxygen when you reach the top, whether it is a real rush of oxygen or just in your mind.  Both are important.

Running stairs, it’s an irresistible urge that’s good to have!

Green Shoots and Lyme Symptoms

Posted on July 6, 2013 by Camille

Posted July 6, 2013.  I went for a 16 mile bike ride recently, inland and then all the way to the pacific ocean at Malibu.   My friends and I had a good mile long swim in the cool pacific waters, then we jumped back on our bikes to head back up the steep canyon.   The canyon leading to Malibu used to be plush with green, a stream and birds and all kind of critters about.  Now it is all burned out.  We had terrible fires here in Southern California a couple of months ago.  It was like riding on Mars, the terrain was so barren.  But every once in awhile, I would find little green shoots, like these, growing somewhere amidst the ashes.  Reminded me of my scorched earth body during Lyme disease.  I was a complete wreck, just like the burned out canyon. I couldn’t walk.  I was so thin and in constant pain.  But then little green shoots started growing.  I finally started to be able to move, the pain started to lessen.  I could sit up to eat breakfast!  After the first rain in California, the canyon will prosper again; health and vitality will return to it.  The ashes will absorb into the earth and provide fertile soil.  Next spring the canyon will be more beautiful than ever.  Remember that in your journey with Lyme disease.  Your body may all burned up now, you are just a corpse lying on the couch day after day, but look for the little green shoots and encourage them.   You can recover 100% from Lyme disease.  Be diligent in your treatment, be patient, tend to the green shoots, the markers of health, that are trying to push through in your body.  Spring will come, the ashes will be gone.

Recovery Lyme Disease

New Life Growing Out of the Ashes

 

(By the way, the green stuff may be freaking you out…. but it’s the figurative idea of health and new growth and vitality.  Notice I am not touching the green shoots….Also, when canyons burn, the ticks burn too!)

Take care of you and stay committed to your 100% Recovery!!!
