I have claimed my life back! (11-20-17)<\/p><\/div>\n

I just finished uploading my notes (and Laird's) online.\u00a0 I have been home for 3 weeks since I came back from Mexico, and I have claimed my life back:\u00a0 reconnected with friends, and restarted my social life.\u00a0 Now I am busy every day,\u00a0 and my future seems brighter and brighter.\u00a0 I hope my story will brighten the life of others who are pursuing their own recovery.\u00a0 Of course, stem cell therapy is not for everyone or for every illness<\/span>, but if you have exhausted all other options, please investigate this one more opportunity.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As of today, I am about 80% recovered, and I have more or less quit Klonopin.\u00a0 I slept 8 hours last night with no medication.\u00a0 You are welcome to keep an eye on my progress as I know that ESC stem cells will keep on working to restore my health for several more months.\u00a0 Again, all I want is for my story to inspire you to discover your own path to a very healthy life, and I will keep on pursuing my own optimum health.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We arrived in Los Cabos safely, which is most important. We checked into the Hampton Inn by Hilton, and to my surprise, the hotel is very spacious and clean and my worries about mold are over. For some reason, I instantly felt better after I arrived. Once again this mak<\/span><\/span>es me wonder if something is wrong with our house. I hope, after I get fixed up, our house won't mess me up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los Cabos is so beautiful.\u00a0 It reminds me the harbor town ZhuHai in China. We went to the Mercado (adjacent to the hotel) where there were many nice small restaurants, but because of worries about my gut, all I ordered was pear juice from a juice bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is also our 15th wedding anniversary, but I have no mood to even talk about it. Of course, Laird knows, but this is not a time to celebrate. Now all I can think about is\u00a0tomorrow:\u00a0 my first day of stem cell treatment. I hate to have such a nasty cold now, and I hope that it won't be an issue for starting my stem cell treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Monday, Sept. 25th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Today Dr. Hanly told me I had severe Bartonella.\u00a0 This explains my severe burning headaches. Before she diagnosed me with Bartonella, she wanted to go slow with my treatment by introducing stem cells to boost my immune system.\u00a0 I appeared to be so weak and had a bad cold.\u00a0 However, when her scan test showed I had one of the most severe cases of Bartonella she had ever treated, she decided to start the normal protocol, that is to kill the bacteria, mold and parasites, and at the same time introduce stem cells. After the initial meeting with Dr. Hanly, right away I was given IV chelation, Vit B17, and then stem cells. At the end of the first day\u2019s treatment, I was given numerous supplements. Some will be taken for just 10 days to kill mainly Bartonella, , and others will be taken for 2 months, and these I believe will boost my immune system. My brain was just too froggy to think and to keep track of all the supplements. I asked Laird to arrange them for me so I would not skip any dose. I also decided to stop almost all of my other supplements, but I kept the prescription ones: Klonopin\u00a0 0.75mg, Progesterone 100mg, and Nature Throid 97mg. I had already stopped Estradiol and testosterone a few days earlier as I believed that the stem cells would balance my hormones. I know I am taking a chance, but I am not the kind of person who likes pills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Hanly and the whole team are unusually friendly.\u00a0 Dr. Hanly is like a wizard, and every patient in the clinic seems to feel lucky to have found her. I know it is too soon to draw any conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n

I asked Dr. Hanly if there was any way she could help me since Laird does not know how to cook. To my surprise, Dr. Hanly offered us to stay at the one condo for rent (the only one that belongs to the clinic), and she said that we could order meals from their cook. This arrangement will save me a lot of trouble!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tuesday, Sept. 26th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Morning notes:
<\/span>Last night I took 0.75mg Klonopin. First I slept like before, and woke up at about\u00a02:30 AM.\u00a0I managed to get a little more sleep in the early morning. I felt emotional in this kind of semi-sleep stage. \u00a0 Anyway, I will try to take it as normal. Today we moved away from the Hampton Inn to the condo above the clinic. I missed our kids, and I do worry about losing their respect for having such a prolonged illness. I talked to Mom this morning.\u00a0 Told her: \u00a0 Thanks for all of her support. Also, Laird is supportive, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

My headache has lessened, and I feel that my cold is starting to go away. Maybe it is my imagination, but I feel my body more solid now. However, I still have a runny nose. This morning I had to fast to get blood tests done.<\/span><\/p>\n

Night notes:
<\/span>I did not feel well in the afternoon. I felt very worried. I had a massage in the afternoon, and at that point I had a low fever. Dr. Hanly thinks I will be OK, and she assured me that there was nothing to worry about.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wednesday, Sept. 27th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Morning notes:\u00a0
<\/span>Last night I took 0.75mg of Klonopin. I woke up many time during the night, and I was able to fall back to sleep.\u00a0 Actually I am sleeping better now than before I came.<\/span><\/p>\n

I woke up feeling OK.\u00a0 I also felt better now than at home, but it\u2019s still not good enough.\u00a0 My mood is just slightly better than before starting the treatment.\u00a0 My brain fog is still pretty much the same, however my energy is slightly improved.\u00a0 I had an OK bowel movement, and this made me feel good.\u00a0 I took a walk along the golf course, and that made me feel better.\u00a0 For breakfast I had a sweet potato and avocado, and it will help my bowel movements.\u00a0 I feel my appetite is getting better.\u00a0 Now I look forward to seeing my blood test results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evening notes:
<\/span>My blood test results show my iron level is quite low, so I will be getting iron through an IV soon.\u00a0 Also my blood test shows my inflammation is very high, and this confirms how I have been feeling.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the afternoon after the treatment I felt very depressed, and I was unable to go to the super market with Laird as I had planned. I had to lay on the couch the whole afternoon. I felt better at about\u00a06:00 PM.\u00a0 In the evening I began to have the feeling that my life would come back.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Thursday, Sept. 28th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Evening notes:
<\/span>Last night I took 0.75mg Klonopin to try to fall asleep, and it was not easy.\u00a0 It took a long time and I just barely fell asleep.\u00a0 However, at about 2 or\u00a03 PM\u00a0I felt my left knee was very painful.\u00a0 It was so bad that I thought I would need a wheelchair by the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the early morning my wrist was very painful, but my knee pain was not that bad.\u00a0 I knew that a wheelchair was not needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning my treatment started earlier (at\u00a09:30 AM). Two patients were going home.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t believe it when I heard that one of these patients, Mr. C., had HIV 10 years ago.\u00a0 People were hugging and kissing him goodbye. I asked him what treatment he had at Stemaid?\u00a0 He said it was not for his HIV because it had been undetectable for quite a while.\u00a0 He came here to treat his left eye.\u00a0 He explained to me that when he had Aids, the virus damaged his left optic nerve.\u00a0 He believes that stem cells may repair his left eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had iron infusion today, and because I had some reaction initially, it took a very long time to finish.\u00a0 One of the Stemaid employees, Holly, commented that I looked better already.\u00a0 I think she is right, but whatever progress I had made, it is not enough. I am still holding my breath, and my cold is not gone completely. Again, Dr. Hanly said it would go away soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still not in any position to have any imagination for my future.\u00a0 However, I must say:\u00a0 so far so good. \u00a0 I communicated with former Stemaid patient Kelly today, and she said that she may come back for another treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

My bowel movements are getting better, and I hope that the iron IV is not going to get me into trouble.\u00a0 I will have my first Ozone treatment next week assuming my iron level is back to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Saturday, Sept. 30th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Late morning notes:
<\/span>Last night I felt so bad that I had to take 1mg of Klonopin to fall asleep. However, this morning things looked brighter.\u00a0 I believe that the iron in my body is restored.\u00a0 My mood is better, and so is my energy.\u00a0 I even proposed to Laird that I could walk to the super market with him, but he said the road is rough.\u00a0 I even meditated before I started the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope I will feel good the rest of today, and I plan to mop the floor.\u00a0 As long as my energy is back, I want to do something physical.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Hanly is not in the office today, and I don\u2019t think I need to talk to her to get reassurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evening notes:
<\/span>I feel pretty decent today. I listed to music through my cell phone in the afternoon: South Pacific. I walked to the beach in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Not treatment today, and I don\u2019t feel well.<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned about the DNRS program.\u00a0 I read this online: from wheelchair to rollerblades. I will look into it whenever I feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know in China people are crazy about shopping these days.\u00a0 I feel that China is a world that is now very far away from me.\u00a0\ud83d\ude1f China, the country that I was born to belong to, but at this moment I wonder if I can ever get close to it again?\ud83d\udc87\ud83c\udffb<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Yesterday I felt very difficult, and I did not sleep well last night. This morning I feel slightly better.\u00a0 My mood is still cycling.\u00a0 Today I will start the treatment at\u00a010:00 AM, and I have to fast for the blood tests.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the day goes by, I feel increasingly better.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Early morning notes:
<\/span>Last night I tried to reduce the Klonopin, but I ended up taking 1 mg.\u00a0 I don\u2019t feel well this morning.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if I am cycling yet.\u00a0 Today is my day for ozone treatment, and I hope it gets rid of the toxins so I will start to feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afternoon notes:
<\/span>I feel a bit lighthearted after the ozone treatment.\u00a0 My inflammation is still high according to yesterday\u2019s blood test. Dr. Hanly said it is OK, and it maybe because the stem cells are working hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wednesday, Oct 4th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I feel good today, and that means yesterday\u2019s ozone works.\u00a0 However, my sleep is still a big issue.\u00a0 Dr. Hanly said I should cut back Klonopin slowly, and I hate that drug! Well, I should start the DNRS program, but I don\u2019t know when the DVD will come in the mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried to take a nap after the lunch, but I felt very bad and unable to get the nap at all!\u00a0 I wonder when I can fall asleep like a normal person?\u00a0 Overall I feel better today, but I still have moments when I felt very bad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is my 10th<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0treatment day, and in theory, the bacteria should be gone. It is hard for me to believe it can be true.\u00a0 However, I do feel quite different compared to the times before the treatment started.\u00a0 I will have my blood retested\u00a0on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

My cold is gone so this is a very positive sign!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

Thursday, Oct 5th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I did not sleep well last night even though I took Klonopin. It must be my brain inflammation.\u00a0 I know that the stem cells help in this regard, because my mood is much better.\u00a0 But why is my sleep is still so difficult?\u00a0 I need to talk to Dr. Hanly today. I know I can never get enough reassurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow<\/span>\u00a0is\u00a0Friday, and I am scheduled to have a retest to see where I am in terms of the bacteria\/mold\/parasites.\u00a0 I doubt that my problems will be all gone.\u00a0 My brain is still ringing, but my head feels lighter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Early morning notes:
<\/span>I feel my mood is better even though my sleep is still very poor.\u00a0 Last night I had to take 0.75mg of Klonopin, and I know how much I hated it!\u00a0 It made my anxiety high. I can\u2019t wait to see how my test results are for those nasty toxins in my brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afternoon notes:
<\/span>My retest showed that my Bartonella has gone!\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t believe it is true!!\u00a0 The ESC stem cell therapy can cure Lyme diseases in just about 2 weeks?\u00a0 Why are there so many patients in other clinics who are suffering to death??\u00a0 I can\u2019t think about that, and I should just focus on my own recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evening notes:
<\/span>I still have a headache, but my brain frog seems to be lifted quite a bit.\u00a0 Yes, at the moment I feel my brain is getting clear!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had to take 0.75mg Klonopin, and I did not sleep well.\u00a0 My mood is fine though. I look forward to\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0as we planned to have a driving tour of the surrounding towns.\u00a0 I hope I will feel good enough\u00a0tomorrow\u00a0to get some sightseeing done as planned.\u00a0 At the moment, what I want most is to kick the Klonopin entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sunday, Oct 8th, 2017<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Last night I reduced the Klonopin to 0.5mg.\u00a0 I really think I should start weaning myself off the Klonopin.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the morning we picked up a rental car, and we drove around as planned.\u00a0 I love the beautiful towns by the ocean. We stopped in some tourist shops.\u00a0 It is not vacation season now, so the deals in the shops are pretty good.\u00a0 However, I was not in a buying mode.\u00a0 I bought a few Mexican hand-made dresses.\u00a0 I think I may buy more stuff when I feel better.\u00a0 But I really enjoyed today just because I can act like a tourist.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
