bacteria toxins in the body causes metabolic stress which affects the adrenals glands and over all immune system which raises cortisol out put and over time adrenals can not keep up with the stress and eventual burn out. This cauases sugar imbalances as well as low stomach and pancreatic enzmes which set up and other chain reaction for severe malabsorption of protein carbs and fats. Vicious cycle begins !!

Parasite vs Hand hoof and mouth syndrome.

It sounds like you might have hand hoof and mouth syndrome. It's not serious and you will get over it, but you just have to wait it out. Ask your doctor what he thinks. There's really nothing you can take to get rid of it faster but maybe your doc can treat the symptoms. I had this a couple of years ago, and it took a few weeks to get over. Usually in kids it will cause sores on the hands and on the bottom of the feet, but in adults it causes sores in the mouth. I don't know if it has anything to do with your stomach problems but it might. You should get an antibody titter to Giardia preformed. You can get giardia from swimming in lakes or ponds or possibly from eating under cooked fish. It doesn't sound as if it's from undercooked meat because you would probably be in the hospital if it was from bacteria (sepsis/bacteremia). Just make sure you give a stool specimen to your doctor to make sure you don't have an active parasite infection, and the giardia titter will tell you if you had it recently. If everything comes back negative, you should seriously consider having a colonoscopy done so you can make sure nothing serious is wrong with your colon. For now I would stop taking any supplement and I would take a break from the gym, because your body can't repair itself if your stressing it out with exercise. Just some friendly advise. let me know how you do.

alright..second appointment was yesterday..she found a urinary,bladder, and kidney infection..she says all the trauma and shit i went through as a kid has basically detroyed my immune system and i will have to rebuild it...thus making it harder to fight Lyme Disease at the same time...Also using a new tool called the Zapper. I use it at home, twice a day for 7 minutes. It sends electrical currents through my body tio kill the bad bacteria/parasites. ..just be glad u aren't me..

Oak you are like a walking problem. Did you never have any symptoms of all these problems i.e. the bladder kidney infection? You have a bajillion problems going on bro....GOOD LUCK! We are all here to help you through it....I think you need to get in touch with your body to catch these problems as they arrive rather then get them all discovered at once.

Scary! I had this same kind of thing for nearly 4 weeks! I seriously think the US should stop importation of food because not all nations are as clean as we are.

To start off with, I find that R-ALA makes me more hungry. Anway I'll tell about mine.

It started about 30-60 minutes after I ate taco bell. I felt sick to stomach and could have thrown up but held back (major mistake).Then a little later in went into lower digestive track problems. I started using the restroom frequently. For the next week I was constantly running to the restroom and my appetite was very high. I was nearly eating all day. Then it calmed down and I was still going to the bathroom more than normal but now I was getting bad cramps. I never get cramps even if I have a crap coming on. The cramps are quite painful and happen throughout the day. In the 3rd week crapping went down to 3X a day and cramping still there. Decided to self medicate by drinking 10 beers and an adios mother F-er. I did this because I figured it was a parasite at this point. Next day cramping is gone. A new symptom arises. This time it is a burning sensation when I eat. This lasts for the next week. I then had a doctor appointment set for the end of the week that I scheduled the week before and the doctor thinks I'm crazy because I told him I had no symptoms that day.

My question is will your body naturally get rid of parasites? Could parasites still be in my body even though crapping has returned to normal (2X a day)? I've heard certain parasites when left in the body cause organ failure over time. Would symptoms of the parasite still be around? Is it possible for the high levels of drinking to have killed whatever was in my system?

My best suggestion of you catch it early is to identify the problem with a stool test from lab other then lab corp or quest diagnostics. THEY SUCK for parasites at least. Start eating 13 raw chopped up galic boiled in 1 cup milk for 5 minutes. It should make like a paste and take that for 5 days and it should kill anything that is in you just recently caught. Antibiotic are can cauase more damage then good becauase it kill good flora as well.

Any other cures for parasites? If I eat that much garlic I'm going to have gas that stinks so bad they won't allow me to work along with my body smelling like garlic from it coming out of my pores.

1. Identify the pathogen by stool test or urine test
2. worm wood, black wall nut, cloves - combination
3. increase ionic minerals will help kill them as well.

Alot of parasitic infections are due to subclinical mineral defieincies (zinc, copper, selenium) due to lowered immune system and lack of stomach acids

justin
low blood oxygen can be related to a couple possible things.
1. kidney govern the acid/base balance so if your kidneys are affected you could have altered ph in the blood. Dr needs to check out metabolic acidosis
or more the natural person said "you body is loaded in acid" which with high acid levels ph your digestive enzymes are pretty much shut down and when there are little or no enzymes to break down food then your body will steal them from other organs (thyroid, adrenal, tesosterone, pituitarr, kidney) eventually this organs will start to malfunction as well.. Plus I am sure you are low on alot of essemtial nutrients which is not helping. The reason digestive enzymes are not working is becuase your natural supply is so low that it takes a good while for it to replenish...Dr really needs to check blood level co2 and bicarbonates..This will really tell how acid you are

Man you seem to have a lot of knowledge in this area. In fact I put money that you know a lot more about it than my doctor. I have no idea what the following are but I'll look online, not sure if this stuff would be sold at a super market (worm wood, black wall nut, cloves - combination)

specifically what kind of tests need to be run?

Alright peeps, listen up. I just got some huge news from my kidney test. Measuring ph, on a scale of 1.005-1.030, I scored an 8. that's right, an 8. My body is in a state of acidosis and my kidneys aren't processing protein efficiently. A simple change in diet won't be enough to solve this problem. It's gonna require more drugs to fix this. The good news is now I know why my stomach hurts all the time and I have sever indigestion. Hopefully, once I get my kidneys and immune system back to normal, I can overcome the Lyme and get back to school and the gym.

Oak did the doctor say the condition of the kidneys? Is there a pill you take for a certain length of time to fix this? I would guess the long standing bladder infection could have worked up into the kidneys and fuck them up. Did they mention any cause of the trouble with the kidney? Did they tell you how to avoid it happening again?

Good to hear things are getting solved...now you just have to treat it and you'll be all good.

ok well i made a decision along with my QXCI practioner to stop taking Mepron and Zithromax..it's ripping up my stomach and it's my third week and I still have not goten any better. I am embarking on a natural course to recovery. I will be taking the vitamins/aminos mentioned above along with a good multi, super grren formulas,..basically all the essential aminos/vitamins/minerals that my body needs

any input appreciated

Justin,
Its smart that you are plugging in the holes where your body is missing. By correcting the imbalances it will bring your body back in balance and give it a chance to recover. I am in the same boat, GOOD NEWS is that your liver seems to be detoxing pretty good becuae the detoxification pathways amino acids are not low. By correcting the other amio acid abnormalities it will open up other enzymatic pathways thay have been shut down due to the toxins givenoff by your lyme disease. The main problem that I see is that the lymes disease is fucking up your ammonia pathways and this would be probably cause of your brain drain because glutamic acid is used as priorary fuel for your brain and that is also a need for enzyme to convert to GABA. Gaba is a relaxation chemical in your brain so correcting the gaba deficiency you will be a much calmer person and will also decrease hyperventalation you have been having. The glutamic acid will be the most important one because your body can not get rid of the ammonia then it would cause your body to be oxygen starvation. Digestive enzymes will help out the whole picture and also take burden off your pancrease and inturn off all the other organs in the body. Take them before your meal and inbetween 3 times as well becuase it will help you to replenish your enzymes. Digestive enzyme are not only used for digestion, but go out into the blood stream to kill bacteria and pathogens. So possible explaination may be is that your body was stealing enzymes from digestion to help fight off the bacteria in your system. So theory of thinking is "if you replenish your enzyme bank then your body will not steal from the process of digestion and body will be better suited to recovery from the main source the LYME disease !! If the practioner has abiity to kinesiology test you. Have her test enzyme and also possible Cats claw as well and then she can determine how much you will need. Person I go hit every thing on the nail so it was a wise choice to go natural route. you may also look into the big universites some time they have alternative medicine departments that are covered by insurance



GABA
(Gamma Amino Butyric Acid)
Non-Essential - Non-Proteogenic

Main Functions:

One of the two main inhibitory neurotransmitters, the other being Glycine.
Glutamic acid is the main precursor of GABA.
Does not easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, which has important clinical implications. Although GABA supplementation is used widely for a calming, sedative effect, there is mixed data indicating that GABA taken orally has much clinical effect. Glutamine, a precursor of GABA, readily passes through the blood-brain barrier and is, therefore, a better supplement to take if one wants to increase brain levels of GABA, since Glutamine, once it is in the brain, converts into GABA. The question of GABA's clinical usefulness may be a function of its dosage. That is, it appears that only mega doses of GABA have clinical effects.
Benzodiazepines, such as Valium and Librium, activate GABA neurons.
GABA activity found in glands controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, namely: pancreas and thymus.
Mega-doses of GABA raise IQ.
Mega-doses may be helpful in treating seizure disorders.


PHENYLALANINE
Essential - Proteogenic - Glycogenic and Ketogenic
Non-Polar, Hydrophobic - Aromatic

Main Functions:

Precursor to Tyrosine, which, in turn, is the precursor to the neurotransmitters: Dopamine and the excitatory neurotransmitters Norepinephrine and Epinephrine.
Precursor to the hormone, Thyroxine.
Enhances mood, clarity of thought, concentration, and memory.
Suppresses appetite.
Major part of collagen formation.
While the L-form of all of the other amino acids is the one that is beneficial to people, the D and DL forms of Phenylalanine have been useful in treating pain.
DL-Phenylalanine is useful in reducing arthritic pain.
Powerful anti-depressant.
Used in the treatment of Parkinson's Disease.

Phenylalanine Deficiency Seen In:

Depression.
Obesity.

GLUTAMIC ACID
Non-Essential - Proteogenic - Glycogenic - Acid Side Chain

Main Functions:

Glutamic Acid is a precursor to Glutamine and GABA (2 neurotransmitters).
One of two excitatory neurotransmitters, the other being Aspartic acid or Asparagine.
Excesses in brain tissue can cause cell damage. This is thought to be one of the mechanisms by which strokes kill brain cells; that is through the release of large amounts of Glutamic Acid.
Helps stop alcohol and sugar cravings.
Increases energy.
Accelerates wound healing and ulcer healing.
Detoxifies ammonia in the brain by forming glutamine, which can cross the blood-brain barrier, which Glutamic Acid cannot do.
Plays major role in DNA synthesis.



I just find it strange that you are not low on minerals, but thats a good thing I guess.
