Nature's Battle Plan: Conquering Lyme Disease with Naturopathic Wisdom
Hello there, health warriors and Lyme disease troopers! Today, let's embark on a journey into the realm of naturopathic medicine and explore how the Stephen Buhner protocols are arming us with a holistic arsenal against the formidable foe that is Lyme disease. It's time to trade in the metaphorical swords for herbal remedies and embark on a natural quest for healing.
Understanding Lyme Disease: Before we delve into the naturopathic approach, let's unravel the mystery of Lyme disease. This tick-borne villain, often underestimated, can wreak havoc on the body, causing a myriad of symptoms from fatigue to joint pain. Traditional medicine may treat the symptoms, but naturopathy seeks to address the root cause and strengthen the body's innate ability to heal.
The Stephen Buhner Protocols: Enter Stephen Buhner, a pioneer in herbal medicine with a specific focus on Lyme disease. His protocols blend traditional herbal wisdom with modern research to create a comprehensive approach to tackling this stealthy adversary. Picture it as a carefully crafted battle plan, with each herb playing a strategic role in supporting the body's immune system and targeting the Lyme bacteria.
Cat's Claw and Japanese Knotweed: The Dynamic Duo In the naturopathic arsenal against Lyme, Cat's Claw and Japanese Knotweed take center stage. These powerhouse herbs are like the Batman and Robin of the natural medicine world, working synergistically to combat inflammation and target the spirochetes responsible for Lyme disease. It's not just about symptom relief; it's about dismantling the enemy's stronghold.
Eleuthero and Andrographis: The Reinforcements Just as any army needs reinforcements, the body needs additional support to combat the complexities of Lyme disease. Eleuthero, known for its adaptogenic properties, helps the body adapt to stress and boosts overall resilience. Meanwhile, Andrographis steps in as the immune system's loyal ally, enhancing the body's ability to fend off infections. It's like giving the immune system a superhero upgrade.
Holistic Healing: Mind, Body, and Spirit Naturopathy goes beyond herbs—it embraces a holistic approach to healing. Incorporating stress reduction techniques, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications are crucial components of the naturopathic battle plan against Lyme. Imagine it as fortifying the castle walls to prevent future invasions and creating an environment where the body can thrive.
In the face of Lyme disease, naturopathy offers a beacon of hope and a comprehensive strategy for healing. The Stephen Buhner protocols, with their herbal allies and holistic principles, provide a roadmap for reclaiming wellness and restoring balance. It's not just a treatment plan; it's a declaration of war against Lyme disease, fought on the battlefield of natural medicine. So, fellow health warriors, let's rally our herbal troops and march forward on this journey to conquer Lyme disease with the wisdom of nature. Victory awaits!

Drow Name Tables
Something I did as a special favor to @kimmurielsscryingmirror (@eldritchmist ) who showed interest. Because it’s...pretty big I decided to make it into it’s own post.
These are a few Drow naming tables that were originally found in an issue of Dragon Magazine. It’s two d100 tables of prefixes and suffixes commonly used in first names. The second couple of tables is a list of common house name prefixes and suffixes.
EDIT: Just a little something for those who care which I didn’t add before because it took me so long to finish the transcription I just wanted to post it lol. The gender difference is noted in the related Dragon Magazine article as being significant. Non Drow may not notice but a Drow will notice the difference. Female names sometimes borrow parts that are normally only considered male and this is considered fine...but a male with a name that borrows a typically only female part would be seen as extremely taboo.

ok fr though anyone got that autism trait where u were shit at learning human social cues so u picked up animal social cues and mannerisms instead
I’m fucking 23 and I still do the cat thing where u close ur fucking eyes and move ur head around to get someone’s hand where I want it when they gayly stroke my hair and yes I also have to fight the urge to lay across fucking keyboards when they’re on someone’s lap and SORRY but if you have a silly fucking goober dog I WILL be dropping on all fours to chase your dog and regardless of the situation I WILL start barking and if u don’t like it u are ableist and I will transmit rabies and spread my mange to you. Pulls off my Lyme disease infected ticks and drops them into your carpet while u watch. Bitch
Don’t act like u aren’t fighting the urge to do the same I heard you talk about slow blinks and cat tail language I wasn’t born a kit yesterday I can smell the dusty 2011 warriors rp forum login mouldering, engraver on the chamber walls of your skull

Fellow Lyme warrior "Bartonella Babe" checked out of this mortal plane a few days ago.
Apparently her quality of life had decreased to a point where she could no longer bear it.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for people with Lyme disease.
Lyme patients deserve better.
Rest in Peace, Jake

special interest rant
Ok, so the iron age Britons and Boudicca are my special interests...and there's a new Boudicca movie coming out...I saw the trailer and I am PISSED. (And I know some people spell it with one c, but I'm doing it with two)
This is going to be a rant of things that they have already gotten wrong, because I am autistic and filled with rage.
Celts in rectangle houses...Boudicca would have lived in a roundhouse, these are ICONIC to the period. Roundhouses are beautiful works of engineering. The rooves ripple with the wind, they hold heat better than Roman houses did, and when they were abandoned they collapsed in a neat way (they rotated down, which is really cool)
It looks like they've made Boudicca a Roman who married into the Iceni tribe (unconfirmed, but this is what it looks like) I don't even have words for this. Boudicca was a local.
Romans are apparently taking over because Prasutagus left no male heirs? NO! Prasutagus left half of his land to Boudicca and their daughters and half to the Romans. The Romans took it all because they could. They would have done this regardless of the heirs' gender.
Black face paint. The Celts painted themselves with WOAD. Woad is blue!
The hair. No celt would have worn their hair like that. Celts wore their hair in braids, or stiffened with lyme. There have been preserved braids found in bogs. This type of grooming was huge in their culture, they were also known to take good care of their nails.
No mustaches. The Celtic men had mustaches, big ones, again this was iconic to the period.
No mention of the Druid massacre at Anglesea. This was another reason why Boudicca revolted. The Druids were hugely powerful in Celtic culture, and the Romans didn't like this, as it challenged their authority. This was an aggravating factor in the revolt.
Why is a woman warrior new to the Romans? The Celts were known to have woman warriors, the Romans wrote about this even before the invasion of Britain.
No mention of the banning of weapons. Another aggravating factor of the revolt was the banning/confiscation of weapons, for a warrior society this was an insult.
Battle lines. The Celts didn't fight in rows, they fought in small but organised groups, think like a three or four people fighting together.
No mention of the other Celtic tribes that joined the Iceni.
Modern hairstyles...I know I've mentioned this before, but I'm gonna do it again because it annoyed me that much
Inaccurate costume. I don't even know where to start with this. The celts were a gaudy people, they liked bright colours, fancy patterns, and jewellery. I'm glad they used torques, these were important, but I hate literally everything else about their costumes
Why isn't Boudicca ginger? It's literally the only thing we know for certain about her appearance.

In the distant future, on a planet named Novaterra, a young warrior named Elara roamed the ancient ruins of what was once a thriving city. With her fiery red hair flowing in the wind and clad in intricately designed silver armor, she exuded both strength and an enigmatic beauty. Her piercing blue eyes scanned the landscape, ever vigilant for signs of danger or opportunity.
Elara was on a mission, one that had been passed down through generations of her family. Her ancestors were among the first to discover Novaterra, and they had left behind clues and artifacts hinting at a great secret buried deep within the planet's crust. The key to this mystery was intertwined with the life and discoveries of Mary Anning, a pioneering paleontologist from Earth's distant past.
In her armor's memory banks, Elara accessed the historical data on Mary Anning. Born in the early 19th century, Anning was renowned for her discoveries of Jurassic marine fossils in Lyme Regis, England. Her work had revolutionized the field of paleontology, but Elara's research suggested that Anning had discovered something far more extraordinary—something that had been lost to history.
Elara's journey led her to a vast underground cavern, where the walls were lined with fossilized remains of ancient creatures, both familiar and alien. Among these, she found a peculiar fossil that matched descriptions from Anning's lost journals—a creature that seemed to be from neither Earth nor Novaterra. This fossil was the Rosetta Stone to understanding an ancient alien race that had once inhabited both planets.
As Elara examined the fossil, her armor's built-in AI, named Poincaré after the famous mathematician, began analyzing the intricate patterns and symbols etched into the surrounding rocks. Poincaré's voice echoed in her helmet, "Elara, these symbols correspond to a form of vector calculus used to describe multi-dimensional spaces. It's possible they were mapping out a way to travel between worlds."
Elara's heart raced. If she could decipher these symbols, she might unlock the secrets of interstellar travel that the ancient race had mastered. But she wasn't alone in her quest. As she delved deeper into the cavern, she encountered a rival faction known as the Chrono Raiders, a group intent on exploiting ancient technologies for their own gain.
A fierce battle ensued, with Elara using her agility and strategic prowess to outmaneuver the Raiders. Her armor's advanced capabilities allowed her to deflect their energy weapons and strike with precision. Just as the battle reached its climax, Elara activated a hidden mechanism in the fossil, causing the entire cavern to tremble.
A holographic projection of Mary Anning appeared, her image shimmering with an ethereal glow. "To those who find this message," the projection began, "know that you stand on the brink of a discovery that will change the course of history. Use this knowledge wisely, for it holds the power to unite or destroy worlds."
With the Raiders momentarily stunned by the apparition, Elara quickly translated the remaining symbols, revealing the coordinates to a long-lost starship buried deep within Novaterra's core. This starship, known as the Anning Explorer, was equipped with technology that could bridge the gap between distant galaxies.
Elara knew her journey was far from over. With the knowledge passed down from Mary Anning and the power of the Anning Explorer at her fingertips, she would continue her family's legacy, exploring the stars and uncovering the secrets of the universe.
As she stood at the cavern's entrance, gazing at the vast expanse of the night sky, Elara felt a profound connection to the past and an unyielding determination to forge a brighter future. The legacy of Mary Anning lived on through her, a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration and discovery.

‼️ UPDATE ON THE TERRIBLY EMACIATED SENIOR GIRL WE TRAPPED IN ARCANUM, OH LAST MONTH ‼️
Please let us know in the comments what you think about her progress!! 👇
CAHIRA (ca-hi-ra). The baby girl name Cahira is of Irish origin. The meaning of the name is “a woman warrior”.
You’ll certainly remember the pictures of this poor, sweet girl but this is a recap of what she had going on:
“Cahira is currently heartworm positive, Lyme disease positive, diabetic with bg 600+, anemic, hypothyroid, with elevated liver enzymes, and has an ulceration of the cornea in her left eye.”
Our friends at Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue have really worked miracles with this girl! Here’s how it has gone
WEEK 1: the first week was spent getting Cahira’s insulin dosages correct in order to get her blood sugar well-regulated, in conjunction with feeding several times a day to allow her system to adjust slowly.
WEEK 2: by the end of week 2, the scale told us Cahira had put on 4-5 pounds, which we were glad to know because it was still not at all apparent by looking at her!
WEEK 3: Cahira was definitely feeling better and her true colors started shining through—she is quite a hellion! She broke out of the gated area in which she was confined (more than once!) to take herself shopping in the treat bins!
WEEK 5: we are THRILLED to report that Cahira’s followup bloodwork came back great! With her diabetes under control and, being given other proper care, most of the issues resolved on their own, as we hoped.
With her overall condition much improved and her strength returned, it’s time to begin the dreaded heartworm treatment. We are really pulling for this girl and we know we can count on you all, too. Please keep her in your thoughts prayers as she undergoes this months-long treatment. 💕
Cahira’s recovery has been already been expensive. Her diabetic food is $$$. As many of you know, the heartworm treatment is also costly. If you would like to contribute to Cahira’s ongoing care and upcoming medical expenses, you can donate from the button on the post or you can also donate directly to this tumblr

It’s not just going to an event it’s should I go to the event waffling back and forth…it’s the worry and maybe I shouldn’t have come and oh Lord I’m going to have to talk to actual humans on the way there.
It’s the during event anxiety and the what the heck do I say? Why can’t I think of anything to say? I said that already drat I’m repeating myself
It’s the rumination on the conversation topics you could have brought up but didn’t think to, it’s the shame for the social conversation cues you deliberately ignored, and the ever increasing horror of realizing the things you actually said…the words and phrases that left your lips.
It’s exhausting but it’s the price to be paid for having a “good time”…which i genuinely did have but sometimes the sheer weight of all that’s going on unseen just to human astounds me. We are warriors

Larry
Firstly let me just say if Lyme disease was a place, it would be on fire, people would be running around looking for the sole fire extinguisher within 300 miles, everyone would be shouting at each other and yelling at their own reflections, windows in shops would be broken, puppies howling, babies crying, and all the residents would hear a loud alarm go off at 12 midday sharp, and upon that appointed hour, all who were outside would be chased by a very angry, hungry bear… for an hour…Oh, and none of the letterboxes would have house numbers on them, and every time you opened one it would fire a torrent of peas at you… I truly hate peas. In my opinion, they are the scourge of the vegetable kingdom and should be avoided at all costs.
I think Larry came to become my longstanding houseguest about 10 years ago. When I got bitten after bathing my now husbands dog. She had bounded joyfully into a dirty water lake and I had the honour of making her smell less like a gym sock. Whilst making sure Amy the dog got the best bath/spa treatment ever, I got bitten. By Larry. Hiding in Amy’s fur. Clearly he thought that residence de soggy dog fur was not upmarket or suitable for him, and he saw my uncovered pale leg as a step up in accommodation. Whatever the reason, he decided to bed in, take off his many shoes, and start unpacking his IKEA flat pack furniture whilst simultaneously calling up his buddies and organising a non stop house party from then on. I didn’t know it was Larry at the time, but what I did know with all certainty, is that I had 3 massive bullseyes on my leg, and my legs were starting to swell up like two overfilled sausages. The dog by the way was fine. Of course.
I hotfooted it to A&E after feeling like my legs were going to burst open. The only thing that would stop my legs exploding was a dose of IV hydrocortisone. I felt awful as well. Like I had caught flu and someone was using my body as their own personal thermostat. I think I had a few days antibiotics, I also know that I came out of A&E and went to a job interview a few hours later… after being pumped full of hydrocortisone and enough painkillers to stun a rhino. I can’t tell you anything about what happened during that interview, but for some inexplicable reason I got the job. Maybe they appreciated the wide eyed, dragged through a bush look. Maybe that’s the way to go for all future employment opportunities.
I actually asked to be tested for Lyme disease during my last hospital stay. My spine had decided it no longer wanted to be inside my body, and in my opinion was trying to forcibly escape. It had gone into a permanent spasm, and even though I thought I could massage my way through the pain, I ended up curled up in a ball, swearing, writhing on the floor and cursing the fact my door keys were in a place which was not sadly floor level. After I was admitted to hospital taking every single painkiller they offered me, and coming with new and fun exciting swear words to describe my pain level during ward rounds, my beloved husband and equally beloved and savvy mother had done their research and decided that I may have Lyme. At this point I had almost shouted house on the ‘Chronic illness’ bingo card, and I got the feeling that if they could, they would push my ‘please sit here and tell me what’s going on swivel chair’ through the door and out of the ward into the mouth of an awaiting dragon. They almost certainly viewed me with a mixture of exasperation, perspiration and furrowed expert brows. “It’s Fibro” they would tell me confidently. “It’s not” I would respond with my head in my hands… “course it is” nodded Doctor number 5…. “So you erm you know, keep doing what you’re doing and we will refer you to our head guy” only to find out it’s a broom in a cupboard. So I was apparently tested… begrudgingly… I can only imagine by Dr broom handle because when they discharged me, still gritting my teeth and unable to stand properly or move my neck, they basically yelled after me “it’s not Lyme byeeeeeee.”
Spoiler alert yes. Yes it bloody was. 10 years after this sodding Larry came to stay and continuing to decorate my insides with vibrant colours and exotic furs. Someone finally helped. By this point I was struggling. Now I deal with pain fairly stoically. I also deal with any of my many chronic illnesses with humour and positivity. It’s my coping mechanism. But I had points where I would be inwardly and outwardly cursing the b**ard who invented stairs because I would be losing my balance and turning into a human vibrator because my hands would shake. It also appeared that the entire bloomin internal Jess body orchestra had started off their winter season by playing flight of the bumblebee, using every single nerve point in my body as piano keys. They must have got rave reviews, because they have continued their repertoire to include brain fog concerto, and the hibernation symphony in C. And immune system knock out piano solo in D minor. Thank goodness for German labs, thank goodness for my wonderful Lyme specialist, thank goodness for my tenacious Mum and stubborn husband, for getting all the research together, for fairly sternly encouraging me to make the appointment and finally making me get tested.
I was so sure it wasn’t lyme. So,so sure. In fact when I got my super positive results for Larry, (who has now branched into his singing career singing all the hits along side his back up singers; co infections Bartonella, Babesia and Borrelia), I was in my friends car, going to dinner blissfully unaware everything was going to change. I remember vividly getting the email, and then subsequently going into a garbled expletive filled rant explaining to my startled friend why previous Drs have all the nouse and common sense of a grilled aubergine. I then looked at my report and my blood cells looked like furry creatures. Misshapen, fuzzy, furry looking alien blobs. I don’t know anything about what blood cells are supposed to look like under the microscope, but I can safely say they are not supposed to look like they are alive. Larry and his trio had had a field day over the past 10 or so years, it looked like he had grabbed my blood cells and then proceeded to try and sculpt them into another shape with all of his feet. It was horrifying. Truly horrifying. How the hell could they have missed it?
I am now acutely aware that Lyme is completely overlooked in the UK, and also in other parts of the world. It is misdiagnosed, mistreated, misunderstood. Research is underfunded and drs are woefully ignorant of the symptoms. Mine were and I am now a passenger in Larry’s super fun happy rollercoaster ride of pain, brain fog, gut issues, hyperactive or completely catatonic immune system, skin issues, joint issues, pain and fatigue. And there’s no sodding toffee apple at the end of the ride as a reward. It goes on and on until I am completely nauseous, confused, full of rage, tears and vertigo. It effects every cell, every muscle, nerve, neuron, and because it wasn’t picked up and treated, it’s now in the chronic stage, which is an absolute minefield to treat.
So nearly 6 months post diagnosis, here I am fighting. My ‘friendly drugs cabinet’ looks like a pharmaceutical wonderland. My schedule is bananas in regards to what to take, what to eat, what to bathe, soak, marinade, brush, rub, drain… I am on a concoction of functional medicine to try and will Larry and his trio into submission, I drink funky teas, I watch what I eat, what I drink, how I sleep… it’s hard work. The routine is hard work. I am tired, I get fed up and sick and Ill and sick of being ill. It is hard. It is relentless. But I will defeat that crafty son of a b**** and banish him out of my body. Because the choice otherwise is too much to bear. I refuse to lose. I refuse to let them have their own way for any longer. So yes it is exhausting and expensive (because Larry and his trio are not treated on the NHS) and yes my treatment cabinet is bursting at the seems, and yes the results from mould exposure means there is more to do, but I am officially serving Larry and his friends with their eviction notice. They are not welcome anymore and I urge anyone who may think their symptoms don’t fit the usual ‘diagnosis mould’ then please stand up for yourself, follow your gut, seek a second opinion, third opinion even. Be your own advocate. You are not alone. We are in this battle together. Don’t give up. I will draw up the eviction notices and you can bring snacks and placards. Let’s do this. After all our our disease may be invisible but we sure as hell are not.
