Happy One Year Anniversary to the best week that started with the most magical 48 hours at The Rose Popup and then The Rose Concert 😍😭🩷

Also the 48 hours when I sat in the bathroom and cried before going because OCD is hard and my brain kept telling me I didn’t deserve to go and even if I did I wouldn’t be present and it would be a waste.

And OCD was loud…but I was there. I was present. But it doesn’t get to own this day…and it was a day i remembered that things don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful and the best memory. 😭😭🥹

And that being as present as you can be is also a joy and a gift and enough.

This moral conflict consumes me

Disclaimer: My bad experience with naturopathy doesn't mean I don't think it has benefits for others. Because it stole my childhood from me doesn't mean I'm targeting you and your healing journey. Part of mine is sharing my experience so I can finally move on and feel like someone has heard my anguish.

I have a chronic illness, a disability, a condition that causes musculoskeletal pain. The pain has dictated my life since it started to get worse when I was 10-11. I went to my pediatrician and was told I had a temporary knee condition common in children and growing pains.

I continued to complain about the pain until I was around 13. She took me to a naturopathic. She was convinced they saved her from her rheumatoid arthritis up until a year or two ago. It's hard to tell because she went to functional doctors for a while. I'm 21 now. However, she has since gone on medication prescribed by her rheumatologist and is seeing improvement.

I was misdiagnosed multiple times with conditions that they put in my charts without ever telling me about. Diagnoses they never treated me for, such as Hashiomoto's. I was on a Lyme disease protocol consisting of four different antibiotics over the course of three years. Prescriptions like Malarone, a slew of vitamins (literally prescription high dose potassium), the paleo diet, and nasal sprays, and she would mix her own tinctures and never provide an ingredient list. Just write on a label stuck to the brown bottle what it was for and how many drops to take.

There was an increase of general practitioner doctors in my area not taking in new patients after COVID-19. Between the pain, anxiety, and paranoia associated with my OCD that was only just now being medicated; it took me until this year to get an appointment with the appropriate specialist to get the diagnosis my GP and I already were pretty confident I had. 6 of the months it took was just finding one that had availability and wanted to take me on. I live 6 hours from my rheumatologist. I had three different GPs say they were pretty confident with my diagnosis, I just needed the specialist confirmation.

So why did I have to spend my childhood suffering in extreme pain for Lymes disease I didn't have? Why did I have to take holistic sleeping medications, go on a diet, and drink mystery tinctures that cost over $100? Why did she give up on me when I was 16 and pass me on to a different person in her clinic if I had Lymes? If had any of the over a dozen diagnoses she had handwritten in my chart? Why did I have to suffer with a mother who was convinced that $20,000 in naturopathic medicine was worth it? Medical debt and useless medications.

She moved me to a functional doctor because she didn't believe in Western medicine still after the naturopathic failed for three years. I was put on a year-long homeopathic Lymes protocol and had weekly oxygen. I spent four years on Lyme disease protocols because I tested negative on the high end, tested barely positive, and then negative again.

I was on antibiotics for so long that my immune system started to fail. They told me it was a natural detoxification process. At the start of COVID-19, my immune system was failing and I wasn't producing white blood cells properly. She again, gave me a tincture she hand-made with no ingredient list. I became temporarily infertile during these 'treatments.' My body still hasn't recovered, I haven't been hungry in years, and I have no desire to eat and do it because I know I need to. I used to love food, I used to find comfort in the flavors and revel in getting to eat snacks. I don't even want to taste my food because it makes me nauseous. I miss loving to taste things. I miss savoring flavors.

I spent a decade struggling with pain that stole my friend, sent me into a depression, and put a financial strain on my family to the point that I've been blamed for years because my medical was too pricey. Only my partner loved me throughout. I wasn't even happy to have my diagnosis official from the right doctor because it's incurable. There's no way to reduce the pain other than gentle exercise. I'm going to be in pain for the rest of my life, but I had to go through all of the medical hope, suffering, and improper treatment because 'natural is best' because 'my body will heal itself'

All I feel is numb.

My heart is heavy because my body still hasn't recovered from the naturopath and functional medicine doctors and my body doesn't function properly so is it going to recover?

I want people to be able to do what they want with their medical pursuits. I want people to find hope in natural options. I want people to find the RIGHT doctor who won't overprescribe and give them the best they can without straining the body too much. I want people to have a holistic medical experience that accounts for the Western and natural. But to have two doctors in the same clinic misdiagnosis and mistreat me for so long. To have a functional medical doctor do the exact same. To have an incurable condition that doesn't have any proven naturopathic remedies to 'cure' it like they say the 'body always will' haunts me. When I see other preteens and teens in the office I hurt thinking that maybe they don't have a choice like I didn't because they can't afford copays and their parents might not believe like mine.

It haunts me to know that I didn't need to suffer but I did, for years with only more damage than good coming to my body. I attended the high school I work for now. I'm fully remote because the verbal abuse and nonconsensual touching of my in-pain body when I was younger made me feel unsafe. Then I was denied testing for my OCD because I was "performing well at school." I'm remote because I know I can help students in need but believe the teachers at the school don't give a single fuck about the disabled and exploited like I openly was when I was a student. But my teachers who didn't take my disability seriously, humiliated me for brain fog and chronic fatigue, and made me participate in competitive events when I was barely walking and not allowed accommodations, a lot have left 5-star reviews for the doctors that I feel ruined my life to an extent.

I mean temporarily infertile because I was overloaded with things my body didn't need and put on diets my body couldn't handle? Because I needed to combat an infectious virus I didn't have? They gave tinctures for our dog water for fucks sake. The functional doctor told us to put the homeopathic medicine in my chicken's water to protect them from fucking tapeworms. I feel like I'm crazy because they're not vets and they're convincing my mom to buy tinctures to 'shed gut-destroying tapeworms.'

I resent my mother. I basically raised my brother because she was already absentee in our youth, but to watch me deteriorate and keep paying when I said I hated those doctors, they didn't listen, they put me in more pain, they touched places that hurt until they hurt more and then said it was chiropractic healing.

I could've been on medicine that helped my pain all these years and simply wasn't because of this. Because of an obsession with Lyme disease. I'm so bitter and angry about this because I could've at least been working towards comfort all those years. Instead of waiting until I had an income to buy comfort items like icy hot, hand support, my partner bought my hot water bottle, and so on and so forth. My partner has been with me since we were in 10th and 11th grade. I don't think I would've survived all these experiences without him there promising to support me no matter the outcomes.

There's no happy ending. I'm numb and tired, I still haven't found a desire to eat, and I'm never going to know what it feels like to not be in pain. My joints have been hurting more and more every year and I think I'll need mobility support soon but don't know how to approach it, my hands have been hurting more and more and yet art is what helps me to maintain the headspace I need to not fall into codependent sniveling.

Thank you for reading. No matter the medical path you choose, I hope you find nothing but healing and happiness. No matter the diagnosis, I hope it takes you on the path to the most fulfilling life you can.

[neuroborreliosis]

this evening will mark two days since i started antibiotics. this evening, instead of taking just bactrim, i'll add cefdinir to my regimen.

so far, it seems like my body is okay with bactrim. apparently about fifty percent of people who take bactrim experience an allergy to the medication, the most common symptom of which is a rash. i haven't gotten a rash, but katie did say it could take up to two weeks to appear. i'll note any changes in the skin department.

yesterday, i felt herxy. a flare-up of all the inflammatory symptoms of lyme caused by the toxins released by the spirochetes when they die, before they have been flushed from the body. this is good. i've herxed before, and apparently if that's the case for someone, they'll probably herx again with treatment. it means the meds are working.

i don't know how much worse i'll feel once i am taking both antibiotics, but so far, my stomach has been okay. i felt pretty nauseous when i first took the bactrim, and again yesterday, but once i took my probiotics, that eased pretty much completely. so i'll probably feel shitty for the hours between when i take my antibiotics and when i take my probiotics.

i have mixed feelings about being on suboxone while undergoing this treatment. i am worried that i won't be able to tell what all is happening, the full extent to which my body is responding, because the suboxone numbs a lot of the pain. i'm probably going to taper down to a lower dose again. i am hopeful that i will eventually, hopefully not too long in the future, be able to stop taking suboxone entirely.

my dad sent me some articles about the effects of nicotine pouches on oral and overall health, and it's got me freaked out. i'm doing a little research into the matter, and i'm beginning to think about trying to quit. christina asked me today during my appointment if i'd be interested in quitting. i was apprehensive - i'm wary of trying to quit nicotine, my one vice, in the midst of this intensive treatment. but i got home and read what my dad sent me and i feel more motivated now. i think i will ask christina about the nicotine gum and lozenges at our next appointment, and i might start tapering. it's an expensive ass habit, and it's unhealthy, and i'm trying to enter my healthful, wholesome, financially responsible era. i am researching herbs that help people quit smoking/nicotine, and i'm going to ask katie about them at our next appointment. if it wouldn't interfere with lyme treatment, i will probably try some of those herbs.

Jesus Doesn’t Always Heal

A new and important post on healing...

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9) My husband and I have lived with chronic illnesses over 35 years, sometimes painful and sometimes debilitating. And for the past 7 months, my husband has been battling…

[alilarew23]

Hi, ALi! How are u feeling?? I have a success story to share with u. But not the type of success story people might expect.

So this morning, when I woke up, I decided to listen to theta waves and just fulfill myself in my imagination. I was in my dream apartment, just revising my past choices, all I felt was so much relief! My anxious feelings were gone. It is the same rn! I think I truly fulfilled my inner girlie so now 3D has no choice but to follow 🤭

That's it. I was so glad to finally catch this feeling lol. I can see this as success story right? Lol anyway, I hope u had a good day todayy <33

this is my favorite ever. "inner girlie" lmao the best.

YES this is a success story!!

theta waves are my go-to for meditation + visualization sessions - so healing/soothing and your subconscious is wiiiiide open to suggestions in that state. theta waves also helped me recover from late-stage lyme disease and ptsd, so for any of my chronic illness/post-traumatic homies, check that out.

fun fact - my first conscious SP manifestation materialized the morning after i fulfilled myself (solely for the sake of fulfillment) in imagination. went to sleep in zee wish-fulfilled, woke up to a frantic 4:30 a.m. facetime after being in no contact for months LOL. i was shooketh. this was in my early days of learning about the law.

anyway, i am thrilled to hear you experienced genuine fulfillment - that is the end goal - the reflection is a byproduct - and yes, the 3D shall follow. where you go in imagination you shall go in the flesh. it is done. proud of you! keep me posted! x

dear science side of tumblr...

i got a severe lyme disease infection in my brain when I was 16. im now 31 and i am a COMPLETELY different person than i was at 16 before i got sick. did the whole chronic illness thing affect my personality?

to be clear, i had was a bacterial infection (lyme is a bacteria) and it gave me what we called seizures but def werent--i legit though they were panic attacks for a year and went to therapy looking to treat anxiety. looking back i have no clue why i thought that. the first episode i had i was in the kitchen making a snack at home alone after school. zero pressure from anyone, no problems with school work, i finally had friends for the first time in years, things were actually pretty good at the time. after a year of therapy my therapist was like “yeah, you don’t have anxiety problems.

i didn’t get diagnosed until almost 18 months had gone by and by then my immune system was basically nonexistent and i probs would have died if i got the flu. it was BAD. i spent months rebuilding my immune system and slept like 18 hours a day minimum for a year (my senior year of hs, but the school was really great about it and i still graduated on time. wish i had taken a year off though, all my friends were in the year after me anyway).

i went off to college the next august and was IMMEDIATELY suicidal. like my parents dropped me off and within an hour of them leaving i realized i wanted to kill myself. 

i didint find a med that worked for my depression for 2 years (i tried to kill myself once by overdosing on painkillers--do not recommend. i got an ulcer that took months to heal) and shortly after discovering i was no longer suicidal a new lyme treatment led to chronic migraines. like, i was in unbearable pain for 21 months. i get botox now and get maybe 4 migraines a month, SOO much better.

all this time i was losing interest in everything i liked as a teenager and didnt really get new interests until like 5 years ago

also ive gained like 150 lbs since i got sick, so that has led to some issues, but im currently positive in my self image for the most part

i also think im ace now? idk i def masturbated a lot in hs but never actually had an orgasm (i always blamed ADHD becuase i would get bored even though i was turned on) but now its like whatever. i have a lot of chronic pain now, so maybe thats why i never feel aroused? when i use edibles for pain treatment i feel so good and pain-free that i sometimes think im turned on but im actually not. i think its just the absence of pain that leads to a pleasurable expereince of not feeling shitty that my brain thinks is good and equates with being turned on? im so confused about my sexuality at this point

the thing is, i dont feel like i am at all who i was going to be before i got sick. like, i feel like my whole persoanlity and being has changed as a result of my illness, not just my health and life/circumstances. 

i have no clue what is going on or what to think. 

any help?

The Rise of Home Hyperbaric Chambers: What You Need to Know

In recent years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has emerged as a potential treatment with varied health benefits. Traditionally confined to specialized clinics, this form of therapy can now be available for home use through portable hyperbaric chambers. Whether you need one for general wellness, recovery, or a particular medical condition, this article guides you through everything you need to know about home hyperbaric chambers.

What is a Hyperbaric Chamber?

A hyperbaric chamber is an apparatus designed to provide 100% oxygen at elevated atmospheric pressure. It makes the body take in more oxygen into the bloodstream by creating an environment that has a higher pressure than normal. This increases oxygenation of the tissues, reducing inflammation and supporting cellular health in general.

Benefits of Home Hyperbaric Chambers

1. Enhanced Healing and Recovery

One of the most common uses of HBOT is to help patients recover more quickly from injuries and surgeries. Higher oxygen concentrations in the blood reduce swelling, promote tissue repair, and aid in fighting infections. Many athletes employ hyperbaric chambers to accelerate recovery from intense workouts or injuries.

2. Cognitive Function Improvement

HBOT has also been proven to improve cognitive capabilities, especially among people recovering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or having other neurological issues. The extra oxygen supply helps improve focus, memory, and clarity of the mind.

3. Anti-Ageing Effects

The hyperbaric chamber aids in the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and improving blood circulation. With constant sessions, one may gain energy and well-being.

4. Relief for Chronic Ailments

Patients with diseases like fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and multiple sclerosis stated that they do experience relief symptoms with frequent visits to the home hyperbaric chamber. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve the quality of life and reduce inflammation.

5. Convenience and Accessibility

Schedule your therapy time at your discretion with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber at home. You wouldn't have to go to any clinic so save time by avoiding trips down the road.

Home hyperbaric chambers are available in various designs to meet the needs of different users. Here are the major types:

Soft-Shell Chambers:

Portable and lightweight.

Operate at lower pressures, typically up to 1.3 ATA (atmospheres absolute).

Best for general wellness and mild therapeutic use.

Hard-Shell Chambers:

More durable and can reach higher pressures (up to 3.0 ATA).

Ideal for people with medical conditions that require intense therapy.

Multiplex Chambers:

For use by multiple people at a time.

Larger and pricier, these are rarely used in domestic settings.

Using a Home Hyperbaric Chamber Safely

1. Seek Advice from a Healthcare Professional

Before HBOT, a doctor should be consulted to assess if it suits your particular medical needs.

2. Manufacturer Guidelines

Every chamber will have guidelines that should be strictly followed in assembling and using it. These provide the best outcomes and safety results.

3. Monitor Pressure Levels

Always use the chamber at recommended pressure levels. Over these can cause discomfort or adverse effects.

4. Avoid Flammable Materials

Since the chamber is an oxygen-rich environment, avoid bringing flammable items, such as oils or sprays, inside.

5. Gradual Decompression

When ending a session, decompress gradually to avoid ear discomfort or barotrauma.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Home Hyperbaric Chamber

1. Purpose and Needs

Determine if you require a chamber for general wellness, specific medical conditions, or athletic recovery. This will determine the type and features you should focus on.

2. Budget

Home hyperbaric chambers range from $5,000 to over $20,000. Consider your budget while factoring in long-term benefits and potential savings from reduced clinic visits.

3. Size and Portability

Soft-shell chambers are easier to store and move, while hard-shell chambers are more robust but require dedicated space.

4. Pressure Capability

Higher pressure chambers provide more intensive therapy but may not be necessary for general wellness.

5. Warranty and Support

Look for chambers with a reliable warranty and accessible customer support. This ensures peace of mind and assistance in case of issues.

Potential Risks and Precautions

While home hyperbaric chambers are generally safe, there are some potential risks:

Oxygen Toxicity:

Long-term exposure to high oxygen levels leads to toxicity. It is essential to follow the specified length of time required for each session.

Barotrauma:

Sudden changes in pressure can lead to earaches or sinus pain. Slow compression and decompression avert this.

Fire Hazard

High concentrations of oxygen are extremely flammable. Safety measures always prevail.

Contraindications

Take an HBOT session only if recommended by a physician. Those with a history of untreated pneumothorax or severe claustrophobia should not take the session.

Future of Home Hyperbaric Therapy

With the advancement of technology, home hyperbaric chambers are becoming more affordable and easier to use. Innovations like automated controls, compact designs, and enhanced safety features are making HBOT accessible to a wider audience. Ongoing research also continues to unveil new therapeutic applications that further solidify its role in modern wellness and healthcare.

Conclusion

Atlanta Hyperbaric Center differs from other hyperbaric oxygen therapy centres in that they now provide premium home hyperbaric chambers, so you can access HBOT from the comfort of your own home while being safe, comfortable, and efficient in your improvement of recovery, reducing inflammation, and overall health.

We ensure that all users experience a smooth experience with our help from experts, friendly user designs, and top-quality materials.

Exploring Ozone Therapy for Arthritis and Lyme Disease Relief

Ozone therapy has been gaining popularity in recent years for its potential to alleviate various medical conditions, including arthritis and Lyme disease. This non-invasive treatment involves introducing ozone gas into the body to promote healing and reduce inflammation. In this article, we will explore how ozone therapy for arthritis works and the potential benefits it offers for those suffering from chronic pain and Lyme disease.

Understanding Ozone Therapy Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses ozone, a form of oxygen, to enhance the body's natural healing process. When introduced into the body, ozone stimulates the immune system, improves oxygen delivery to tissues, and increases the body's ability to fight infections. This therapy has shown promise in treating a variety of conditions, particularly chronic diseases like arthritis and Lyme disease.

Ozone Therapy for Arthritis Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. For many individuals with arthritis, traditional treatments such as pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs may provide only temporary relief. Ozone therapy for arthritis offers an alternative treatment option by reducing inflammation and promoting the repair of damaged tissues in the joints.

By injecting ozone gas into affected joints, the therapy helps to increase oxygenation, which may reduce pain and inflammation. The therapy is believed to stimulate the release of growth factors, which promote tissue regeneration and support the body's ability to heal itself. Some patients report significant improvements in mobility and a reduction in the severity of arthritis symptoms after undergoing ozone therapy.

The Link Between Ozone Therapy and Lyme Disease Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is another condition that may benefit from ozone therapy. This disease can result in a range of symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, and neurological issues. Ozone therapy has been suggested as a treatment option for Lyme disease due to its potential to enhance oxygen delivery, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system in fighting off infections.

The application of ozone in Lyme disease treatment may help patients by increasing the oxygen levels in tissues, which in turn can improve the body's ability to combat the Lyme bacteria. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory effects of ozone therapy may alleviate the chronic joint pain and swelling often associated with Lyme disease, providing relief to patients who have struggled with long-term symptoms.

How Ozone Therapy Works for Lyme Disease When Ozone Lyme Disease is introduced into the body, it interacts with the bloodstream and tissues, helping to improve overall oxygenation. This increase in oxygen supports the immune system by enhancing its ability to detect and fight infections like Lyme disease. Furthermore, ozone therapy has been shown to possess antimicrobial properties, potentially aiding in the reduction of bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. By addressing both the inflammation and infection aspects of the condition, ozone therapy offers a comprehensive approach to treating Lyme disease.

Conclusion Both ozone Lyme disease and ozone therapy for arthritis show great potential as complementary treatments for chronic conditions. While more research is needed to fully understand the extent of their benefits, many patients have found relief through ozone therapy. This treatment offers a promising option for those seeking alternative or adjunctive therapies to manage arthritis pain and Lyme disease symptoms.

For individuals suffering from these conditions, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional who is knowledgeable about ozone therapy to determine if it may be a suitable option for their specific needs. As medical advancements continue, ozone therapy may become an integral part of holistic treatment plans for chronic diseases like arthritis and Lyme disease.

How Doxycycline Ruined My Life - Risks Exposed

Doxycycline, a widely prescribed antibiotic, is used to treat a range of bacterial infections, from acne to Lyme disease. For many, it’s an effective solution to clear up infections and promote healing. However, for some individuals, the consequences of taking doxycycline are anything but positive. If you’ve been searching for doxycycline ruined my life  you're likely among those who have faced severe side effects or long-term health complications after taking this medication. In this blog, we will explore the stories of individuals who feel that doxycycline has had a detrimental impact on their lives, the possible side effects, and the steps to take if you’ve experienced similar issues.

What is Doxycycline?

Doxycycline is a type of tetracycline antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like acne, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and even sexually transmitted diseases. While it has helped millions of people recover from infections, for others, it can lead to severe and life-altering side effects. These adverse reactions are not always immediately apparent, and they can manifest weeks or months after beginning treatment, leaving some individuals wondering if their problems are linked to the drug.

When a Prescription Becomes a Nightmare: How Doxycycline Can Alter Your Life

For many people, the journey with doxycycline begins innocently enough. A visit to the doctor, a prescription for an infection, and hope for a quick recovery. However, after starting the medication, many experience symptoms they never anticipated. What was meant to heal them can turn into a source of pain, confusion, and frustration. Here's how doxycycline can go from a helpful treatment to a life-altering experience:

Gastrointestinal Issues: One of the most commonly reported side effects of doxycycline is severe gastrointestinal distress. This can include nausea, vomiting, and intense stomach pain, which may be so severe that they interfere with your ability to eat or function normally. For some, these symptoms persist even after stopping the medication, leading to long-term digestive issues.

Photosensitivity: Doxycycline can cause extreme sensitivity to sunlight, making even short periods of outdoor exposure lead to painful sunburns. This side effect can be so intense that it forces individuals to stay indoors, cutting them off from outdoor activities, social interactions, and a normal lifestyle. For some, the physical appearance of sunburns and rashes caused by photosensitivity can be distressing and deeply affect their self-esteem.

Skin Reactions and Rashes: Some individuals experience severe skin reactions, including rashes, itching, and blistering, which can lead to permanent scarring or discoloration. These skin problems can be emotionally distressing, especially if the individual already struggles with their appearance.

Mental Health Struggles: Another aspect that people don't always connect with doxycycline use is the potential for mental health side effects. Depression, anxiety, brain fog, and feelings of confusion or disorientation have been reported by those who feel that doxycycline ruined my life their lives. This can be particularly challenging as these mental health symptoms might not be immediately linked to the medication, leading to confusion and delayed treatment.

Liver Damage and Other Serious Health Issues: In rare cases, doxycycline has been linked to liver damage, which can cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), fatigue, and other symptoms. The potential for such severe reactions may go unnoticed until the damage is already done, leading individuals to feel trapped in a cycle of deteriorating health.

Long-Term Impact and Lingering Symptoms: Even after stopping doxycycline, many people report lingering effects that can last for months or even years. Chronic fatigue, joint pain, persistent gastrointestinal issues, and emotional distress can continue long after the medication is discontinued. This long-term impact often leaves individuals feeling like their lives have been irreparably changed, with no clear path to recovery.

Bowen therapy

i will always speak up for Bowen therapy. Evey body is différend, every condition is specific, but for sure it helps even with chronical diseases to reduce the symptoms.

I tried it on my self and I studies 1st course and tested it in my family. There are thousands results and testimonies all over the world. It is not panacea, but it helps. I am not a therapist, just a content patient and was curious to try to see if I can do it to someone else and it works.

"Bowen works like no other therapy. People often say, “what is it like?” There really is no comparison.It is a gentle type of bodywork that focuses on stimulating the fascia or connective tissue surrounding everything in our bodies. These unique movements over very specific parts of the body shift the nervous system into a “relax and heal” mode instead of the “fight or flight” mode many of us are in. The body cannot effectively heal itself until it can rest. Usually all that is needed for relief is 3-5 sessions. Children often respond even quicker. Some chronic conditions may need regular sessions but the goal is to increase time between sessions and ultimately have the body balanced and healing itself.Some conditions responding well to this technique are:

Neurological or immune disorders

Parkinson’s disease

Lyme disease

Fibromyalgia

Chronic fatigue syndrome

PTSD

Stress and anxiety problems

ADD/ ADHD

Traumatic and overuse injuries

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Sciatica

Concussion

Sprains and strains

Neck, shoulder and back pain

Scoliosis

TMJ syndrome

Migraines

Gastrointestinal dysfunctions

Orthopedic problems

Podiatric problems

Support sessions—pre-and post-surgery and during chemotherapy."

I used it post surgery, this year I had to extract my last wisdom tooth in my lower jaw, it was again surgery in the bone. I was really scared because the last time I got it, the pain was insane and did not want to go through this again soon and it took me years to take the decision. But the tooth showed me it's time. But this time I knew I will use Bowen to recover. I felt pain in my nerve till the brain and just after first session, the tissue started moving and restoring inside, the bone, everything and I did not felt pain anymore and restored very quickly.

With chronical deaseas it will take more sessions and with some sicknesses it can at least reduce the pain. What is more important, it can be combined very well with other healing therapies that does not include massage or stimulating the fascia.

Comprehensive Healing and Wellness at Soma Health Center LLC

Introduction Soma Health Center LLC is a leading healthcare facility specializing in advanced treatments and therapies for chronic illnesses, with a focus on the Neurological Integration System (NIS) and comprehensive Lyme treatment in Baltimore. Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized care for individuals struggling with complex health issues. As a trusted Lyme specialist in Maryland, we offer innovative solutions to address Lyme disease and other neurological challenges, ensuring our patients receive the highest level of care. Our mission is to help you achieve optimal health and well-being through our holistic and integrative approach to healing.

Understanding the Neurological Integration System (NIS) The Neurological Integration System (NIS) is a revolutionary healthcare approach that addresses the underlying causes of health issues by focusing on the body's neurological pathways. Developed to identify and correct imbalances in the nervous system, NIS helps the body regain its natural ability to heal and function properly. At Soma Health Center LLC, we use NIS to assess and treat various conditions, from chronic pain and autoimmune disorders to hormonal imbalances and stress-related issues. By targeting the root cause of these conditions, we aim to restore optimal health and well-being.

How NIS Works The Neurological Integration System operates on the principle that the brain controls and coordinates all functions of the body. When there is a disruption in the communication between the brain and the body, it can lead to various health issues. NIS involves assessing the body's neurological signals and identifying areas where these signals are compromised. Our practitioners use gentle, non-invasive techniques to correct these imbalances, allowing the body to restore its natural healing processes. This approach not only addresses the symptoms but also targets the source of the problem, resulting in long-lasting health improvements.

Benefits of NIS at Soma Health Center LLC By incorporating the Neurological Integration System into our treatment protocols, Soma Health Center LLC offers numerous benefits to our patients:

Holistic Healing: NIS addresses the entire body rather than focusing on individual symptoms, promoting overall wellness.

Non-Invasive Treatment: The NIS approach is gentle and does not involve medication or surgery, making it a safe option for individuals of all ages.

Personalized Care: Each treatment is tailored to the patient's unique needs, ensuring the most effective healing process.

Long-Term Results: By correcting the underlying neurological imbalances, NIS provides sustainable improvements in health and well-being.

Lyme Treatment in Baltimore – A Comprehensive Approach Lyme disease is a complex and often debilitating illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through tick bites. If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to severe health complications, affecting the joints, heart, and nervous system. At Soma Health Center LLC, we specialize in providing effective Lyme treatment in Baltimore, using a combination of advanced therapies and holistic approaches to help patients recover and regain their quality of life.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Lyme Disease The early symptoms of Lyme disease can vary, making it difficult to diagnose. Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, fever, headaches, and a characteristic "bullseye" rash. In more advanced stages, Lyme disease can cause neurological problems, heart palpitations, and severe joint inflammation. Early detection and treatment are crucial for preventing the disease from progressing and causing long-term damage. If you suspect you have been exposed to Lyme disease, seeking help from a qualified Lyme specialist in Maryland is essential for effective treatment.

Our Lyme Treatment Protocol At Soma Health Center LLC, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to Lyme treatment in Baltimore. Our treatment protocol includes:

Accurate Diagnosis: We begin with a thorough evaluation and diagnostic testing to confirm the presence of Lyme disease and assess the extent of the infection.

Targeted Antibiotic Therapy: For early-stage Lyme disease, antibiotic therapy is often the most effective treatment. We tailor the dosage and duration of antibiotic use based on each patient's needs.

Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition is essential for boosting the immune system and aiding the body's recovery. We provide dietary recommendations and supplements to support healing.

Neurological Integration System (NIS) Therapy: NIS plays a vital role in our Lyme treatment approach by helping to restore the body's ability to fight the infection and repair damaged tissues.

Detoxification: Lyme disease can cause the accumulation of toxins in the body. We incorporate detoxification protocols to help eliminate these harmful substances, reducing symptoms and supporting recovery.

The Importance of Early Intervention One of the key factors in successfully treating Lyme disease is early intervention.

At Soma Health Center LLC, we encourage patients to seek immediate medical attention if they suspect they have been exposed to tick bites or exhibit symptoms of Lyme disease. Our Lyme treatment in Baltimore is designed to provide fast and effective relief, ensuring that patients receive the care they need without delay.

The Role of NIS in Treating Chronic Lyme Disease Chronic Lyme disease can be challenging to manage, as the symptoms may persist even after standard antibiotic treatment. In such cases, the Neurological Integration System offers a unique advantage by addressing the neurological aspects of the disease. By using NIS, our practitioners can help re-establish proper communication between the brain and body, enabling the immune system to function more effectively.
