I Didn't See That Coming!

Three days ago I noticed a strange mark on my torso, just above the pubic area.

No itching, no scaling, no pain. 

I didn't recognise the rash although realised immediately that it was an inside job (excuse the poor picture below - not easy to take a selfie at the angle).

Not really knowing what to do, I did the only thing a natural health mentor could do with what was to hand in the bathroom - lathered the mark in coconut oil!

I did this for two days, noticing that the mark hadn't changed in size or colour.

Unsure how to find out the cause without resorting to a GP visit which I haven't done for many years, I used AI to begin my research.

What looks like ringworm but isn't?

Lyme Disease was the unanimous conclusion.

How is Lyme Disease cured? I asked next and found that a course of antibiotics is recommended by the medics - no surprise there then!

Common Side Effects

Less Common Side Effects

Long-term Concerns

Promising remedies include:

Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, Japanese knotweed, black walnut, sweet wormwood, and cat’s claw have shown antibacterial effects against *Borrelia burgdorferi*[1][3][4].

Cinnamon bark, clove bud, and oregano oils demonstrated effectiveness in killing Lyme bacteria in lab studies[5][6].

Stress reduction, regular exercise, and quality sleep can support recovery[2][4].

Infrared saunas, photon therapy, and bee venom therapy may alleviate symptoms[2][4].

This characteristic rash, known as erythema migrans, is a common early sign of Lyme disease, appearing in about 60 to 80 percent of cases[4].

Key points about the Lyme disease rash:

Important considerations:

Only a small number of ticks carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, so not all tick bites will result in infection[1].

Approximately 1 in 3 people with Lyme disease may not develop a rash at all[1][2].

Flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, muscle/joint pain, and fatigue may also occur with or without the rash[1][2][4].

I have several options from doing nothing, to adopting many strategies.

Doing nothing in my world simply doesn't exist, so what's afoot?

During this next month I will adopt these approaches simultaneously:

• increase my daily intake of quality organic nutrition, especially the usual suspects including turmeric, ginger, garlic, onions, greens.
• have more healing tea - I make and enjoy a blend of hibiscus, star anise, cinnamon and clove using structured water.
• consult Joanna Broughton, Hypnotherapist who will help me to invoke my 'inner pharmacy' to aid healing.
• talk kindly to myself and be more careful of the language I am using to heal.
• adopt the Metta Meditation kindly sent to me by healer Fiona Clark.
• listen to the sensible and kind words from Fiona Maguire
• use a blend of oregano and clove oil in a carrier of fractionated coconut oil topically on the rash area, navel and on the soles of my feet
• source 1% Ghanaian quinine - research shows that a 7day therapeutic treatment can fix the blighter.
• take Ivermectin 12mg daily.
• take hydroxychloroquine and fenbendazole. 
• increase my daily dose of Aloe Vera juice sourced from Yvonne James.
• continue with specific balance oil to ensure optimal cell health and uptake of everything I am doing.
• continue using my Olylife P90 healing device.
• use my Powertube more often
• continue use of the Prife premium healing wand
• reduce some of my commitments - I am doing too much (again).
• get to bed earlier - this has started itself naturally of late.
• re commence sewing, crochet, knitting, painting.
• research and write more health articles

As quinine helps, in the short-term, I am chilling with a gin and tonic. Cheers!
