Hey Guys,
I just wanted to send a shout out and ask you guys to be
praying for me and my little family over the next six weeks. Next week I will
begin a treatment for the Lyme called Ozone. It may sound a bit crazy, but in
essence they simple draw my blood out and treat it with ozone (which is similar
to oxygen) and then pump my blood back in.
You may wonder why this is even important and that is a good
question. The main reason that we have, after much prayer, decided to proceed
with this treatment is that in most cases it can kill up to 80% of bacteria in
your body. We feel this treatment will drastically help the antibiotics and
other treatments in killing the Lyme.
The main caveats to this treatment are that it is time
consuming, costly and may leave me feeling much worse than before. Again, you
may ask, why? As the Lyme bacteria dies, it releases toxins into my body that
may make me feel worse. I like to think of this as good pain…it means that I am
healing.
We will be in Atlanta two days a week and will be staying
with family there. We are so thankful that Jason’s bosses have been kind enough
to allow Jason to take sick leave on those days, so we will not lose his income
during those six weeks.
We ask you to pray that miraculously this treatment and
healing will be painless. Also pray that all other sickness will stay away from
our family (as we found out last week, my body simply can’t even handle a
little sniffle). As always, please pray for healing of my body and our
finances.
This was a bit short, but I just wanted to give you a quick
update. If you would like to read more about Lyme check out this website: http://www.columbia-lyme.org/research/lymetbd_center.html

Joy and family
