I'll jump right in to my post. Opinion: I became aware of the "fibers" after a bout with chronic Lyme's. After 18 months of herbal/homeopathic/acupuncture etc. I feel I am now recovered from "active" Lyme's disease. "Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men......"
Like many, I became aware of the "fibers" before I had any knowledge that other people suffered from the fatigue, itching, biting, rashes, lesions. etc. The NUSPA website was my first contact.
Where do they come from? Opinion, I think they may be everywhere. I have used clear packing tape to take surface samples and .... clear blue green and red, plus a couple of others that keep showing up. Granted, they could be textile fibers but not in my opinion. If so, how do they get in your ears, or does the ear canal just have a color changing effect on certain fibers on the Q-tip, turning them blue, black, red, and that coppery green color. Huh, green, could they be hemocyanic?
Why doesn't everyone suffer. I adhere to the opinion that an injured or weakened immune system plays a big role. I have had most of my success by not just treating symptoms but addressing the matter holistically. Hard as it is , exercise is big. Lots of water. Lymph tonics. a big one is the Hulda Clarke cleansing and zapping. Co-conditions...I am currently doing a three week parasite cleanse next week off and another extended cleanse. I am hardly passing anything suspicious at the end of my first three week session. Lots of itching around my upper body though.
Monitoring and adjusting my PH seems to help.
Homeopathic sulfur seems to help,
The itching, I have tried so many herbal topicals. When the rash was devouring my ankles, I would get relief with something and a few days later the rash would evolve next to the spot that was healing. Like they packed up and moved next door!
RELIEF! When I zap, I keep it away from my eyes. I zap behind my ears and get relief for that area and the scalp. I stay away from the eyes.
The one thing I have found and have heard others mention is topical heat. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. I have found a way to minimize the risk and have not burned myself in a couple of years. It has been a long road but my improvement has been steady and I intend to manage this condition right out of my life!
The way I apply the heat is steam. For small easily reachable areas I use a washcloth (very important) folded length wise by thirds so that down one long side you have a fold and the other long side is a fold and an outer edge. Fold both ends to the middle and then fold at middle to create a square pad. Folding is important because I do not want it to unfold while I use it as a compress. There is a risk of burning if it does. Next, I soak the cloth and wring out the excess water. I do not want water dripping from the cloth when I apply it to my skin. Next I heat the folded cloth in the microwave until I see steam, either on the window or by opening the door and looking. NEVER look through the window of a running microwave from a short distance. Next. I remove the folded cloth by placing a baggie on top and then a potholder. This keeps the steam from reaching my hand. It must be held securely.Rubbing can unfold the cloth, the core temperature is scalding, but the exterior is not. It is the escaping steam that does the job. I then, press the compress and after a quick 1-2-3 remove it. I try to use common sense, so I don't burn myself! I then have, after a few minutes, what looks like a mild sunburn from the increased blood flow. The topical relief is pretty much immediate and last for about 24 hours. I try to pay close attention to any itching upon waking the next day. I then treat that area.
For my upper back I use a hand towel. Again, folding is important. I place a kitchen garbage bag on an ottoman, the floor would work, and then a bathtowel, and then the hot hand towel. I then, CAREFULLY, do sit ups, placing the various areas of my upper back upon the towel. When it cools down, I turn it over and do some more. This is not about tolerating the pain, My goal is not to burn myself. More is not better. I also learned that long applications of very warm compresses seems detrimental. They seem to pack up and move into the lymph system.
I want to point out, I am only sharing my experience and my opinion. I do not suggest that anyone try this and if you do, you do it at your own risk. I wish you all luck on your journey of battling this condition.
