I have had Lyme for 30 years. My body and immune system shut down 16 years ago when I came down with another bout of pneumonia, became paralyzed and hospitalized, then doctors put me on IV and oral steroids. Since then, my cells do not recognize the Lyme is an intruder, no matter how much I boost my immune system. I have tried IV, oral and IM antibiotics. I have also tried countless vitamins, supplements and alternative treatments.
I have literally been fighting for my life for 16 years (almost 17 now). Yet, I wanted to share a couple of natural supplements I have been taking for only 3 months. I am not totally well or even near totally well. Yet, I feel like I am going to live despite this hell called Lyme and I have a much better sense of well-being!
For the past 3 months, I have been taking Pure Acai and a Stem Cell Releasing Product [both links are to informational sites, there are links to ordering sites from there].
This may not seem big to others, but I had family come and visit in August. Normally, I am so deathly ill after about 20 minutes that I can't talk or sit up. Then, when they leave, I have NO memory of their visit and am on my deathbed for days or even weeks. Did I go play tennis with them? No. However, I was able to sit at the dinner table and on the couch to talk and enjoy them. I even played with my great neice for the first time and went out to a restaurant! This is the most encouraging and impacting response I have ever had! I can only imagine how others who have not had Lyme for 30 years would do!
Unlike other Acai, this one is pure, organic, no fillers, no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no chemical preservatives and it is NOT processed in China. It is also freeze-dried, which keeps its active properties, unlike other acai products which use spray drying or heat processing.
The Stem Cell Releasing Product helps stem cells sitting around in the bone marrow to circulate in the body. They have a Triple Blind Study showing it increases the circulation of stem cells up to 30%! This means up to 20 billion new target cells in the body! These cells can become any other kind of cell in the body, as they seek to replace unhealthy cells and tissues. For me, I think this is the key to unlocking my cells so that the antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, antibacterial and anthocyanins from the pure acai have access to the spirochetes where they are hiding in cells and tissues. This is just my theory. I am not a doctor.
Anyhow, I would love to hear how others are doing if they decide to try one or both of these!
Blessings My Lymie Friends!

Mount Sinai researchers have discovered that the release of blood stem cells from bone marrow is regulated by the brain through the cyclical human biological clock, via adrenergic signals transmitted by the sympathetic nervous system. These new findings point out that the harvest of stem cells for transplantation may be improved by timing it at the peak of their release.

The study describes the mechanisms at the molecular levels in which signals from the biological clock in the brain are sent via the sympathetic—or "fight or flight" branch—of the nervous system, directly to bone marrow stem cell niches. Researchers, using mice as a model, were able to show the rhythmic release and peak of stem cells in circulation during the mouse’s resting period, and that changes in the light cycle or an experimental “jet lag” altered the release patterns. This is the first time a study has demonstrated that the brain regulates a stem cell niche.
“We don’t know why stem cells circulate in the blood but the maximal release of stem cells in the circulation occurs when the animal is resting. This argues for a role in regeneration,” says Paul S. Frenette, M.D., Professor in the Department of Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. “More practically, the rhythmic oscillations of circulating stem cells suggest that harvest could be optimized by simply timing the collection of stem cells at the peak of release.”
The vast majority of bone marrow transplantation procedures are currently done using stem cells harvested in the peripheral blood. The current harvesting procedure, however, may not be adequate in some patients, particularly in those that have received prior treatments for cancer.
“What is really amazing to us is that the brain—through the autonomous branch of the nervous system—directly controls stem cells in their microenvironment,” said Dr. Frenette. “An important implication in today’s busy world is that changes in normal biological rhythms, for example by working night shifts or a jet lag, could affect the number of stem cells harvested from donors.”
