Arrived

We have landed and found dinner and the hotel.  The Bellamy Brothers tour bus was outside in the morning. Here's a few photos of yesterday through 9 am.

Biopterin Pathway

I realized it has been a while since I've blogged.  Got caught up in the lack of schedule over the last month.  Things are fully back to normal for us Friday, as we go back to our homeschool co-op.  It is a God-sent for us, as it gives the kids a different offering of classes from what we do at home, and it also gives them a social outlet too.  For me, it has given me a change to get back to teaching, as I teach Algebra 1, 2 and Chemistry. So, what have we been up to?  John and I were off to the western coast of Florida for the last 10 days.  We were hoping to reboot him a bit in his healing.  I've come to the realization that the more time he spends in the sunshine, the better.  We discovered kayaking through mangrove tunnels - what a blast that is.  There used to be a freshwater lake off the coast of Lido Key.  Residents there had realized that this lake was a breeding ground for mosquitoes.  The Army Corps of Engineers came in ...

Letting go, dumbest thing ever, and more

It's been a while since I have blogged.  As much as things have changed, much has remained the same.  John is continuing to have very hard days.  He's very tired and has roving joint pain still.  We ran blood work and found low vitamin D again and low iron.  His thyroid looks good, so it's just the nutrient deficiencies and the Lyme issues.  The constant fatigue is tough to deal with, so he decided to  take a hockey break. He handled it better than I did, as I cried on and off for days.  It wasn't that he isn't playing hockey... it's the fact that he even had to choose to give up something he loves. We read in our local Lyme support group on Facebook that someone had cancelled an appointment with our doctor, so I tried to take the appointment 11 minutes after I saw the cancellation.  Nope.  Taken.  That quickly.  But, there was another slot, Tuesday at 9.  It took me 2 hrs 10 min to get to the clinic during rush hour. ...

Detox

Most people with Lyme have issues with toxins, and the ability to get rid of them.  Toxins that need to be addressed include heavy metals like aluminum, mercury and lead, acetaldehyde and gliotoxin (byproducts of candida overgrowth), mold, and dead spirochetes from Lyme treatment.  This is a probably a short list, but it covers the bulk of what is fairly typical. How do you know you have toxins built up?  We did the Nutreval test from Genova Diagnostics and a hair mineral analysis from Doctor's Data.  Between these two, we were able to see that John had lead (despite no exposure to lead paint) and uranium (not sure where this came from.. I speculate drinking the city water supply down stream from 3M but it's just a wild guess).  His mercury came back normal, but he also doesn't have any cavities.  Side note: if you have cavities, you might want to look into getting the mercury back out of your mouth.  Research for yourself - there's a pretty big mo...
