Ramona's Journey Back To Health

My personal story starts with contracting Lyme disease over 4 years ago, this is important because the research is now connecting these two diseases in that many who suffer from Morgellons also have Lyme. The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is another GMO and it is a nasty. It is apparently THE most mis-diagnosed disease out there but I have begun to have my suspicions that Morgellons is right up there.

My first stage presentation of Lyme was not diagnosed. I had gone to the emergency room thinking I was having a really bad reaction to a spider bite, the bite site was behind my knee. I was given a super dose of antibiotics because I had red lines tracking up my leg toward my groin and migraine headaches (for the first time in my life). Within a few days I was better and after that didn't think about it. Done deal.

The second stage showed up about 1 month later, starting with that same leg where the apparent spider had bitten me, my knee joint became stiff and unable to bend. Within 3-4 days, I went from very activity and healthy to going to an Outpatient clinic for pain killers and muscle relaxers. I felt like an arthritic 88 year old lady - the pain was so intense, especially in my neck and shoulders that I could not pull my covers up and make my bed.

Fortunately I had a friend who was also afflicted with Lyme and as soon as she heard me tell this story, she said, "Go get the Lyme's test. I guarantee you , that is what you have." Mind you, I had not been bitten by a tick- I remember being bitten twice by deer fly in my garden some days before that first stage.

Conventional medicine treats Lyme with several heavy doses of antibiotics over many months, depending on who is your physician and their protocols. I was not going that route.

Toni, our nutritional consultant and liaison here at Healing Grapevine has been a dear friend for a long time. She had battled with Lupus for more than a decade when she had the inspiration to get a Lyme test and sure enough it was there.

She had just begun her treatment program from an alternative doctor which included Cat's Claw and when I started dosing with this herb, the relief was noticeable within just a few days. I continued the prescribed course of Cat's Claw treatments, and all the other supplements for re-building and detox cleanses (including a tea tree oil cleanse that tasted awful but felt great), for 10 months.

However, from that point on my health was always up and down. Apparently the Lyme spirochete is of such a special breed (advanced nano material) that it doesn't kill off very easily. When I would feel the achy and flu-like symptoms returning, I would dose up the Cat's Claw and it was always manageable this way. It did seem like each time I would bounce back a bit faster so I had come to terms that this was the way I may live the rest of my life and felt grateful it wasn't something worse. (hahaha joke was on me)

Fast forward to last summer, 2008. I began to get the weirdest intense itch all on the shins of both legs and patches on the back of my calf. However, NOTHING was there. This went on for a few weeks or so and then a shiny clear texture started occurring on the spots on my calf. In just the right light it shimmered. One of my friends and now part of the Healing Grapevine Team can witness to the oddity of it all.

Another month or so later and I thought I had stepped in some poison ivy. I have never reacted to poison ivy before- my whole life I played in the woods with no trouble. I did read that it can affect you at anytime just like any allergen does, but this was not acting like normal poison ivy. Yes it oozed, but even as I applied the oatmeal and calamine and baking soda drying materials it would still ooze, and for weeks. And here was another curiosity- it was ONLY my shins and the spots on my calf. For as much as I scratched in the first few days before I called it poison ivy, it did not get on my hands, and I kept putting the same shoes on that I had gone hiking with. The plant oil will stay on clothing, dogs, steering wheels, until it is washed off which is why people think it spreads. It doesn't spread unless you keep touching the oil.

I am pretty sure now that it was not poison ivy and again, it was only affecting my previous itchy spots. I clawed myself pretty badly a few times it was so intense, and would not stop oozing. It came and went over the next six weeks and then I went on xmas holiday to the beach. My legs finally cleared up in the sun and salt water. Big hint there!

During the fall, I had friends in another state who were dealing with some strange bug phenomenon. First they called it bird mites, then scabies, and after 4 months of battling, they packed up and ran screaming my way and brought them to us! Then the nightmare really began.

Within days, I was bitten and attacked all over my shoulders and torso and upper legs. Scabies is not suppose to present for about 30 days from contact. My daughters had been traveling and living with them for 2 weeks, they said the felt a bite here or there but no big deal. Over the next several months, my girls would occasionally say they felt something bite them but it did not become the tracks and hatching type symptoms I was having.

At this point my friends were pretty certain it was Morgellons and the fear factor elevated to such a pitch it was really bad juju. I literally asked them to stop telling me about the latest thing they found on the internet. In fact, a doctor friend of ours had said, "stay away from the internet" there is so much fear and misunderstanding and it is so very unhelpful.

Then again, had it not been for the internet, we would not have found Dr. Staninger. Sometimes you have to weed through a lot of junk to find the treasure. And of course, if not for the internet, our team would not have had the quantum opportunity to utilize the information highway and help restore sanity and fully recover from a very insane experience.

During this time I was exhibiting or experiencing:
Intense itching patches that were clear and scaly looking
Creepy crawly all over skin sensations
Biting and 'super scabies' outbreaks that nothing could kill
Super brain fog and mental shut down
Complete loss of libido
Diminished eye sight
Alligator skin/tortoise shell look across shoulders
Weird small electric firings on nerves; like someone kind of hit me with a jolt
Hyper sensitive to computers, I am an internet market reseach so a computer is my office
My symptoms were always worse near electronics and at night

Every night before bed I would soak in a bath, most often with sulfur for at least an hour, and then a super hot shower with sulfur soap and Oil of Oregano when the biting/itching would wake me about 2 AM.

At this point we don't recommend these treatments but I want to add some cautious notes to read:
1. I read that Oil of Oregano would kill the body bugs on contact but to be careful because it will burn you, it does. It will take the top of your head off with the heat if you use too much so be very very careful with this stuff.
2. One time I put too much pure sulfur in my bath and it was in direct contact with my skin around my neck area. I literally burned a few layers of skin off. Now I understand about those chemical peels people do for dermatological issues. I did get a whole batch of skin to rejuvenate but it was very painful and it was sensitive to sun and touch for weeks.

Each day I took the sheets off my bed every morning, never wore the same clothes twice and did at least 3 loads of laundry a day. I was following a hyper hygiene regime, including Dr. Overman's foil wrap and zap technique and aerial antenna, that I think helped me keep control of my environment. But none of this was really a full solution.

I caught hundreds of the specimens and spent hours looking under the microscope at them and the 'other' things that would come out of my skin. I wish I had purchased one of those microscopes that will generate digital pictures...these were truly scarier than any special affects creatures from Hollywood. And most of the time they were wrapped in blue and red fibers.

Once after a bath I was covered in black specks, later under the scope, they just looked like black balls of fiber. And then there was the group that was super fluffy and white and large. Yet the fibers had a particularly polyester look to them. Seldom were there changes in texture along the strands and they always appeared super smooth and almost shiny.

When I did Dr. Staninger's initial intake form for her patients, I scored a 46 out of 100 in terms of exposure and presentation for Morgellons. This is a fairly good score in terms of contamination levels to nano materials. My other friend scored a 63 and she was at one of the ground zero vector points for contact. It is really just a hypothesis but she reported a lot of spraying in her area after a damn broke and caused a man-made lake to drain into the river leaving a large swampy area for potential mosquito breeding.

They recounted the day they found these really weird little white bugs all over their window screens. This is what initially started the theory that they had a bird mite or some kind of mite infestation. After hearing our full story, Dr. Staninger offered the idea that we had been hit with a GMO insect or two that are used for pest control and it unfortunately made perfect sense.

During this very first consultation with Dr. Staninger, she outlined her 90 day protocol to detox my exposure to the advanced nano materials as well as addressing the Lyme pathogen and all other toxins that had built up in my system.

Her 90 day protocol is a comprehensive program with two main strategies:

1. to detox and release the foreign materials from all cellular systems (these toxins are everywhere!) using FIR therapy and the products necessary for cleansing like a Happy Tummy colon cleanse. This begins correcting the cellular dysfunction that occurs due to these compounds and pathogens storing up in our body.

2. to replenish our nutritional needs that support basic cellular function- to simplify this statement, I got on a beefed up program of solid healthy eating habits to restore my health in conjunction with her recommended supplement products during this 90 phase. These products included her products, probiotics, digestive enzymes, Opaline Dry Oxy, Willard Water... the list is extensive and we are creating a couple of e-booklets to offer to our readers...it is coming soon.

Her recommendation to purchase the Far infrared sauna from MPS Global was the absolute best investment I made for recovering then and staying healthy for the future. I also purchased the heating pad for my kids and to easily target areas of concern. As I have stated before, within two days of starting both aspects of this program, I knew I would fully recover and it has taken me far beyond my expectations today.

Not only do I feel that I have the solution to ANY and ALL health issues for me and my family, I am turning the clock back on aging and there is nothing like feeling and looking my best! When my friends take one look at me, they ask...what are you doing? I want to know.

Today as I recount this story for all the folks who are asking how did I recover, I do it gratefully and without alarm. There are so many disheartening stories out there, full of so much pain. I am here to tell you this need not be. There is a solution to the pollution of nano contamination, whether you call it Morgellons or body bugs or unexplainable systemic pain (fibro myalgia, MS)...it is all treatable and I am excited to share the facts.

May the truth set you free.
