Exercise VS Sleep/rest/Healing
« on: April 25, 2012, 08:46:37 pm »
Hey guys,

Slowly recovering from adrenal burnout, lyme, fatigue, digestive issues, toxicity, etc.  I can exercise again somewhat regularly.  There seems to be some debate on how much exercise to do while trying to actively heal.  Obviously rest is important but i also notice that if i don't exercise at all i feel lethargic and sluggish internally.  Right now i do bodyweight exercises alternated with some light jogging or sometimes a mini-tramp for cardio.  I don't mess with heavy strength training as this just crashes me at the moment.  I guess it's finding a balance between the two so you feel good post exercise and not fatigued.  I just obviously want a good portion of my energy to go into healing the body.

How did you recover from the lyme?

Re: exercise, I also notice the same thing. I thrive with exercise. I need mild to medium regularly.

Sleep is the nursemaid to the world. Regular sleep is very important.
Cheers

So many things have helped.  Basically i'm following a modified version of Dietrich Klinghardt's lyme protocol.

Step 1: correct all lifestyle issues, emf's, moldy home, diet, sleep, sunlight, clean water, fresh air, etc

Step 2: Detoxify/Nourish the body.  This includes focusing on detoxing liver/kidneys/lymph as well as detoxifying and making peace with any emotional issues, traumas, stressors, etc.  Emotions/energetics were a big piece for me and i think for most people.  Getting rid of heavy metals would also be included here.

Step 3: Target microbes.  Get rid of parasites/yeasts/lyme microbes.  There is some controversy here.  I mean as your health improves these counts will naturally drop and be eliminated by the body.  Currently i just use high amounts of raw garlic, coconut oil, and maybe some pau d'arco tea here and there.  Might get more aggressive on this step in the future.  There are specific anti-lyme herbs out there as well i plan to add in.

Step 4: Fix the damage.  This would include relaxation, sleep, brain-games to get your neurons firing prime again.  Some forms of immune-enhancing herbs/mushrooms.  I'm not really worried about this step now as i am not that far along yet.

I think the biggest part for me was just trusting my inner voice and not paying attention to what people say so much.  Our bodies are very intelligent.  I believe there is usually a spiritual component to most serious illness.  I think often illness strikes when we have failed to listen to our own inner wisdom and have been out of balance for too long.  Sometimes illness is a way to bring us back into balance and make us look at how we are living our life.  By viewing the illness as a teacher and accepting and trusting your body to heal you, you remove the fear, stress, cortisol release that poisons the body.  Obviously this is a very short list but i am managing to treat myself well without using drugs, antibiotics, etc.  Food, herbs, good emotional/spiritual health, sleep, trust in God/Universe, and good detox protocols.  These are what help me the most.

The reason I mentioned it is that the people here seem to be Quite enthusiastic about the devices.

I can't comment except to say that I have friends who swear by it although I have not heard them discuss lyme specifically, although that may be because I didn't ask.

Ah thanks,

Yea lyme is a tough bugger to shake off.  I just try to remember that anything can be healed.  Also that there is "more than one road to rome."  I try to do 90% correctly and not focus on being perfect.  Trying to be perfect is the enemy of health.
