- At worst
- Very severe (bedbound, unable to do basic care)
- Ill for
- 1 year
- Published
- Jan 2012
Summary
After a year completely bedridden in what she calls a "strange comatose condition" - unable to chew or speak, washed by family - she took megadoses of magnesium, zinc and vitamin C while resting in bed doing nothing, and rose to about level 8 functioning. Over the following 26+ years, during which she was later found to have chlamydia pneumoniae, mycoplasma, Lyme, ehrlichia, babesiosis, EBV and HHV infections, her course has cycled repeatedly between level 8 remissions and level 1-2 relapses lasting up to six months, so the gain has never been permanent.
What they credit
