I just received the results from the first mycotoxin lab work I’ve done and it explains a lot. My doc, to her great credit, has been pushing me to do this test for several years, probably from my first appointment with her and I finally got it done. Why did I delay? I always suspected […]

How to get and stay healthy
What I’ve learned about healthcare through 15 years of illness and continuous research would be shocking to the average person (if they believed me). The average person, though, is healthy enough to have little interest in learning the truth. As they say, it’s easier to fool a person than it is for a person to […]
Nutritional Balancing Science
I was astonished when I plugged my latest hair test numbers into the spreadsheet I use to analyze result. But I was more than surprised, I was overjoyed-and tears began to stream down my face. That’s because I’ve been working on normalizing my mineral balance for nearly 4 years and consistently falling into the most […]
Vitamin D deficiency and sunlight deprivation
This is a very painful post to write. It’s about my mistakes. There have been so many missed opportunities over the years and many times I have been on the right track but given up too soon not having clearly understood what was happening. What am I talking about? I gave up on ozone, vitamin […]
Lyme disease and co-infections
Yep, I’ve got everything but the kitchen sink, so we might as well add in Lyme disease and co-infections, the more the merrier! My first Lyme disease test was 10 years ago (Igenex) and one of my blog readers said it was possibly positive even though the MD who ordered it never mentioned that to […]
What must be done
If you suffer with chronic illness, by definition you’re stuck in a vicious cycle. Some imbalance is causing a disruption which further worsens the imbalance that triggered the disruption. And you go around in circles. For example, let’s say you’re low in magnesium or calcium which causes insomnia which triggers a cascade of other insults […]
It’s the iron, stupid
If you research either vitamin D or copper enough, you’re bound to come across Morley Robbins contrarian views eventually. I tend to listen to people who seem to have deep knowledge in tightly confined areas especially when they say everyone else is wrong. So about a year ago, I stopped trying to take vitamin D […]
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
I’ve never liked labels like CFS and I was really angry when they diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the Mayo Clinic — seemed like they were just washing their hands of me with that diagnosis. Now my doctor has diagnosed me with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and this time it feels different, […]
Fenben fever
I’ve started using a de-wormer commonly used for horses, goats, dogs, cats and tropical fish. It’s called fenbendazole and how I happened on it is a strange story. When I started liver flushing and began seeing all kinds of weird things in the toilet, someone suggested I join the Facebook group called Morgellons Support Science […]
Strongyloides POSITIVE
Strongy’s is not a typical parasite, and hittin’ it with a little diatomacious earth or pumpkin seeds is not gonna touch it. These guys burrow into small intestinal wall, they self-populate, they hang out in lungs and other organs, move through skin… and only two or three meds have been identified as killing them. -Lori […]
EMF mitigation? Really?
I’ve dabbled in electromagnetic field (EMF) shielding over the years but never had any evidence that I’m sensitive to EMF… until now. For the most part, all of the EMF reduction tools are pretty expensive and I felt I couldn’t afford the best stuff like the filters for removing RF pollution from household wiring or […]
Superoxide dismutase 2 – my genetic timebomb?
[N]early 2 years after receiving my 23andme genetic information, I’m still piecing together the puzzle but… my SOD2 polymorphisms are starting to look more and more like the ticking time bomb. Or, maybe a better metaphor is a bridge that crumbled underneath of me slowly for years and then suddenly washed away. For those who’ve […]
Can mold grow in your body?
[L]et me ask a few more questions so you can answer this for yourself: Is your body warm? Is your body damp? Is your body humid? Is it dark in your body cavities? Clearly our bodies are ideal environments for growing mold! So, knowing that I have a strong allergy to mold, why did it […]
Ozone is a powerful healer
[N]ot only is ozone good for you, but it may be one of the most powerful healing substances available to us. If you don’t know anything about the healing properties of ozone yet, you probably think of the smog over Los Angeles. It took me a very long time to get educated about it but […]
My first coffee enema
[I]f we met in the street, you probably wouldn’t notice there’s anything wrong with me at all. You might even remark that I look young for my age. But I am disabled and would do almost anything to recover my former reasonably good health. So for years, I’ve been reading about people doing coffee enemas […]
