In Reply to: Treating with antibiodics posted by John B. on December 11, 2008 at 20:06:20:

John,

I have had more than 23 years of experience with heavy duty antibiotics, including Rocephin. This is an Intervenous Antibiotic and can have very serious side effects including death. But it is one of the few Ab that can penetrate the blood brain barrier and overcome an infection of the brain and spinal cord. But there is another effect that you may not know about....the Jerrosh Herxheimer reaction. (I don't know if I remembered the "J" word correctly). When this Ab (and some others) actually do their work, they are killing off extremely bad bacteria (plus good ones too). The extremely bad stuff is incredibly toxic to the human system and may be the cause of the alergic reaction. I have been through this many times. It usually sets up a cycle somewhere between 5 to 10 days for each successive Herx, but they usually last in high intensity for about 2 days, and then ease up, each following Herx is less intense. When you are not Herxing anymore, you have killed off the major population of bad bacteria. I went through a 10 day period of Rocephin I.V., it was not long enough to do the job completely, the following year had a 5 week run of IV Ab therapy, and it was not long enough, and have had oral Ab's on/off since, but the initial run of 10 days left a tougher bunch of bacteria as the parents of successive generations, and I am probably uncurable. But the oral Ab's help me to stay in remission, and I can continue my life albeit not the full life I had before me prior to the infection. But there are a lot of people with some form of disability still on the "green side" of the grass, and I am just one of them.

As a reply to all those who think their fundamental Christianity protects them, enjoy your dream. I get so tired of the judgemental people who think I should die because that would be the result without current medical treatment. I worked my full career, paying my taxes, paying my full share of Social Security, and paying my full family plan medical insurance, and raising my 5 children in a Christian environment. So who made the Borrelia Burgdorferi bacteria, and who caused that deer tick to embed in my belly button while working in a hay field during first cutting of 1985? My tick borne disease is Lyme Disease, and it has dramatically changed my life. For you "non medicine" people, just look back at history and see the average human lifespan was between 25 and 40, depending on what period of history you want to look at. Most of you are already older than that, so you are on the lucky side, but without meds as needed in some future time, you are getting close to the end (statistically). Make your own decision for your life, but do not make any decision/judgement about when I should be "finished". I am just very tired of being judged by the "I'm a better Christian than you are" group. For the majority of you, I apologize for this rant.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
