Doc says my heart is doing better this week. I agree, although it tends to flare up at night. Sleep is the only symptom of mine that has gotten worse. The immune reaction on viruses may be eliciting a strong ANS response that doesn't quiet down at night. Across the board, every other symptom has either stayed the course or gotten slightly better.
Brainstem doing better, although he quickly migrated to certain tender points on the back of my neck that were problematic and treated them. He treats the 4 quadrants of the mouth not only because of dental issues but because of access to the ganglia. Besides trying to open things up at the intracellular point, he treats any and all lymph nodes that test and other stalled "access points." He said he may treat 6 things successfully, but if he doesn't hit the 7th--the lynchpin--you may not get better.
For the sleep issues, he prescribed me Atenolol, a beta-blocker which tested really well for me, to help me with the autonomic nervous system at night. I've been taking Trazodone, melatonin, and Doxepin to help with sleep, but Traz & melatonin both tested really poorly and I don't like the idea of blocking histamine reactions (a normal immune reaction) with Doxepin. I actually don't like the idea of taking any drugs, but with a reduced side effect profile via its inability to penetrate the BBB, the benefits may outweigh the costs if it will help with sleep temporarily. My goal is to get off all sleep meds permanently as soon as possible, even if the process cockblocks my ability to function in the short-term. Drugs can definitely interfere with treatment efficacy by either dampening down the intended immune reactions, stalling hormone re-regulation, or blocking neuron repair. I'm continuing to get IV amino acids as well as minerals, B vits, 750mg EDTA, and started 0.05cc (1.25mg) DMPS. I generally feel more energetic, has less OI after treatment and IVs. I met a few more patients in the office today--some cancer patients that are in remission and coming back for maintenance, a Parkinson's patient. For the most part they seem to be getting similar therapies. We all remarked on how amazing it is that such a simple idea, although complex and dynamic in practice, could be used to treat such a wide gamut of different diseases. A nurse in his office told me about a young man that came in with a similar presentation as Mike. He's now back in school and hasn't been back to the office in several months. Onward and upward. |
