I have 6 weeks of treatment to catch up on the blog so I will try to start at the beginning. Of course this round, I didn’t start from scratch. I know what medications I did last time, what my diagnoses were and what wasn’t tested last time.
One of the reason I chose My Healing Spot* is the heavy usage of scientific data. This means labs, lots of labs, and often. They use a spectrum of labs including both blood and urine depending on each patients needs. My initial lab test kits were sent to me in a large cardboard box along with 6 pages of lab codes for LabCorp and Quest.
These lab tests included (but not a complete list):
- Amino Acid and Neuro-Biogenic Amine Comprehensive Tests
- Toxic and Essential Elements Test
- Toxic Metals and Essential Elements Tests
- DNA Methylation Pathway
- Advanced Stain Test
- Organic Acid Test (OATS)
- GPL-TOX Test
- Glyphosate Test
- MycoToxin Test
- Food Allergy Test
- Lyme Panel B
- Wellness Blood Panel: thyroid, liver, pancreas, WBC, RBC, glucose, etc.
The biggest areas that showed as MAJOR issues:
- Very little Amino Acid absorption of any strain
- No Vitamin C absorption
- Lyme markers CDC positive (test results below)
- Lyme co-infections positive (test results below)
- Mold toxicity, off the chart Ochra toxin
- Biofilm** showing tree like rings of layers (Blood slide shown below)
Anyone who has ever had a meal with me, knows food and I have always had a love/hate relationship. I have known for years that my malabsorption rate is in the 97th percentile of all persons tested. I was not aware that my absorption of vitamin C and aminos was so poor. Keep in mind, when these tests were taken, I was on 2,000mg of vitamin C orally per day and a once a week IV bag of vitamin C.
If there is a test you are wondering about, please message me and I can send it to you!

Bio-film** Blood Slide
Ideal blood slide is ALL black dots (red blood cells). Any fluorescent colors are bio-film.
Next, off to the races in treatment!
**A quick education on bio-film: Bio-film is a “spiderweb” in your blood that toxins can hide in and your immune system doesn’t know that it should even consider attacking it. All toxins, bacteria and even parasites will gravitate toward these “spiderwebs” as a way to hide. While in the bio-film, they have access to all of the nutrients that pass by in the bloodstream and live a very happy life. Not so happy for the host. For those of us that have years of bio-film build up (this girl), the images look almost like the rings of a tree. Each “ring” can contain different toxins, bacteria, etc. which usually match a point in time where the bio-film was pulling in new tenants.
*if you’re interested in the actual name please ask! With all of the lawsuits aimed at Lyme doctors I won’t be using the name in any posts.
