Dr. Hoffmann’s license has been suspended


Message from Mike From the Wisc Lyme Yahoo Board:

Re: Dr. Hoffmann
It has come to my attention that Dr. Hoffmann’s license has been suspended. The suspension may go into effect next week. The attorney assured us a deal was in place and there was no need for concern. Obviously this is not the case.

I’m speaking with several folks involved in this matter and trying to get a clear picture of what transpired. I should have a further update later this evening. It’s very suspicious to me that a deal is struck, folks are informed not to show up for the hearing and then a suspension is ordered.

The hearing room was packed with TV crews today to cover the case against Doctor’s writing absentee excuses for protesters in the state capitol this past March.
I will update as I get info.

Daryl Hall's Experience With Lyme

Listen to Daryl Hall talk about his experience with Lyme Disease. Did you know his whole family has it?

A-Bart

Introduction to the Byron White Formulas and Their Use in Lyme Disease So many people are trying these herbal treatments so I'd like to give you guys a link to learn a little more about them. I am currently using A-Babs and A-Bart myself.
                                  Byron White's Formulas

Ingredients in A-Bart and what they do:

Gou Teng: This herb has been used to lower the excitability of the central nervous system. Used also in Chinese medicine for hypertension, convulsions, headache, dizziness and apoplexy. A published journal article written by scientists in the Department of Oriental Pharmaceutical Science at South Korea's Kyung Hee University found the aqueous extract of gou teng may increase serotonin levels in the brain, resulting in mood and cognitive improvements, as well as help in the treatment of OCD, IBS, fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety.
Neem: This herb's anti-viral, anti bacterial and anti-fungal effects are well documented. Evidence exists for its use in pneumonia, ulcers, gout, diabetes, hypertension, skin infection and wound healing.The essential fatty acid content in Neem is high.
Grapefruit Seed: Grapefruit seed is considered therapeutic against hundreds of different bacteria, virus, parasite and fungal strains.The extract from the seeds helps inhibit intestinal infections while balancing healthy bacteria. It is a strong antioxidant with high nutrient values, including biotin and Vitamin C. It also is helpful with lymphatic drainage and elimination of toxins.
Indian Sarsaparilla: This herb has its action on circulation, autoimmunity, joint disease, digestive issues and viral infections. It is potentially most important as a rich nutrient and alkaloid source. For example, this provides saponin, panillin, cetyl-alcohol, cobolt, pollinstanol selenium, smilagenin, stigmasterol, zinc and Beta and Epsilon-sitosterol.
Poke Root: Poke root helps detox the lymphatic system. It stimulates production of B and T immune cells and is active as an anti- inflammatory, anti-viral and antibacterial agent. Rich in alkaloids that produce antihistamine effects, it also increases the brain's production of GABA.
Licorice: Licorice binds to many types of neurotoxins, making it important as a detoxification agent. It contains mucogenic agents that soothe stomach and duodenal ulcers. It has been used in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome, and may have antiviral effects.
Garlic: Garlic functions as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and metabolic agent. It has historically been used as an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-spirochete, anti-septic, diaphoretic, diuretic, expectorant and heavy metal chelator. It supports liver detoxification and decreases LDL cholesterol. It is a cardiovascular tonic, helps with the biosynthesis of fatty acids and phospholipids, and acts as an anti-clotting agent.
Clove: This herb acts as a tonic, febrifuge, antiseptic and anti-fungal with anti-parasitic activity. Usnea: This herb is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that affects viruses, protozoa, Candida, trichamonas, Chlamydia and other microorganisms.

You are not alone in this fight.

You are not alone in this fight. If you have Lyme Disease never give up. You never know if there may be a cure around the corner!

Worst things about having Lyme Disease

I think the worst thing about having Lyme Disease is the loss of everything, I mean not just your health, but your friends,  your job, your ability to do things with your kids. And then that results in guilt. Guilt for not being able to be there for people, or do things that they expect you to do. Of course, it is all compounded by the fact that we "look normal." So people expect us to "act" normal, even if inside we are crumbling. 


The relentless, never ending, always changing symptoms just make it impossible to plan anything or know how long you can stay somewhere, even if you are able to get there. Just don't know when and what they will be when the symptoms appear. And some days the symptoms are tolerable, you can function with them, and others, they just make you completely dysfunctional. It's hard to "just be" on those days.
