RHODE ISLAND
David Charboneau
- November 2004. I was in horrible condition. I was in constant
pain, my legs barely worked. I wore a double brace on my left knee
and walked with a cane. Getting upstairs was becoming nearly
impossible. I could not work, I could not sleep. My abdomen was
bloated and tender. My jaw hurt and my teeth hurt. My ears rang, my
head buzzed and I could not see straight some of the time. I dared
not drive as I seemed prone to making poor and dangerous decisions
behind the wheel. I was easily overstimulated and excessively
emotional... I could go on. This was nothing new, it was just as bad
as it had gotten. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in June 2001. At
the end of Sept. 2004 I had just completed a four month course of
antibiotics. My third time around with these. I was somewhat
improved from the condition I was in in May when I had gone back to
the doctor for more treatment. Within a month though my symptoms
began to return... with a vengeance. I had to find another doctor. I
found someone very reputable and experienced with Lyme Disease. He
told me I should consider a 12 to 18 month regimen of antibiotics.
Besides any consideration for the outrageous expense of this, it
just seemed outright absurd that this could be the best course of
treatment he had to offer. I could not accept this. I began looking
for answers; better choices, better results. I did not know where I
would find them or how far I would have to go. I got lucky. I found
Lymefree.com. By chance it turned out that the offices where I could
obtain the services described in this website were close to home. I
called and made an appointment. The next week I was in the offices
of Allergy Alternatives. What I encountered changed the course of my
illness and of my life. I was introduced to the technique that was
developed called Immune Response Training. I was given a treatment
based on this technique. It was remarkably simple and utterly
noninvasive. Just some reading. It took 30 minutes. When I left the
office, I felt quite strange. My body ached from head to toe but not
as it had ached before; just a low dull ache, no shooting pains or
the like. This ache persisted for about 24 hours. After taking a nap
the following afternoon I awoke to find myself feeling better than I
had in weeks. The following day I found I could do without my cane.
I returned for more treatments. I continued this for eight months
gradually tapering off the frequency of the treatments and without
including any other form of treatment other than some nutritional
supplementation. By the end of this period my health was very nearly
fully restored. Any lingering complaints gradually improved over a
few more months without any additional treatments. September 2007.
That was two years ago and I remain a strong, healthy, fully
functioning man with no sign of trouble from my past illness. My
work is physically demanding and I am quite able to keep up and keep
things moving along. In recent months, my Dad has been receiving IRT
treatments and is experiencing excellent results. I also have a few
friends and aquaintences who have had very good results with these
treatments. At this point, I have decided to start doing everything
I can to share this remarkable opportunity for getting rid of all
the nasty organisms that constitute Lyme Disease and other illnesses
and restoring health to the body. You do not have to live with Lyme
Disease. I am proof.
