Dear Lisa,

So good to see you here. I also had Lyme for 20 years and started out
really hard with IRT-- not in exactly the same way as you have, but it
was very, very difficult and I can relate.

Thankfully, IRT herxing will get you somewhere in all this, though, it
really will.

Are you Rifing and taking MMS alongside IRT right now? I'm thinking
that if you are, you should maybe take a break from them and just
concentrate on codes and rest for a good while. The body can only
handle so much, and those codes really give the body a lot of
information to utilize. You can always pick the Rifing and MMS up
again later down the road when you're stronger and have less herxing
with IRT.

You're so right when you say it is all about treating the whole
person, so right. The more I learn about that myself, the more
clearly and beautifully I see it. Just this morning I was reading
about a doctor who came up with physical proof of how chemicals
released by our emotional issues/belief system effects our cell
function. I'm so thankful to be using a method that addresses this as
well. True, full healing for many chronic disease sufferers cannot
occur without it.

Hang in there and keep up hope even though it might seem silly and
strained to do so at this point. Your beauty days aren't over! Some
of the best of them are just beginning...

Becky
