After I dropped out in 2011 I realized that I had been fighting all kinds of ailments and fatigue since 2003 but I attributed this to stress at work, busy with two little boys at home, a flu…. And an energetic, dynamic, mama who keeps going until the last gasp .. ;-(

The first diagnosis in 2011 was burnout, I went into therapy and followed a mindfulness course, all of which was interesting but I didn't get better, on the contrary I got sicker all the time. Then I was diagnosed with CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and I was even further away from home. In Belgium, CVS was not recognized and I was sent from box to wall.

For 2 years I followed therapy, received magnesium IVs, went to several university hospitals with several internists and other specialists. They all confirmed the diagnosis of CFS and immediately said that they could not help me. In the meantime I got sicker all the time. In my third year of work incapacity I ended up with an orthomonecular doctor, for 10 months I took cart loads of supplements and I started to pay close attention to my diet. But unfortunately without any improvement.

Then one day a family member asked if I had ever been tested for lyme. Incomprehensible but true, none of the specialists I had seen in recent years had thought of testing this.
I then had my blood tested in the Infectolab in Germany and it showed that I had lyme, great joy everywhere because I finally knew what was wrong with me and I could start the correct treatment. The euphoria soon passed when I started to inquire about the treatment of chronic lyme.

In Belgium is simply denied that chronic lyme exists! I was back to square one.
Dr. De Meirleer treats Lyme patients with, among other things, courses of antibiotics for months, but since my body had already passed so much, I did not want to start such a course.

Until I came across another doctor who suggested natural antibiotics, Argentyn or colloidal silver.
I took these natural antibiotics for 11 months, there was improvement but after 11 months I expected to have recovered at least 50% and that was not the case. And I had left with parasites, fungi and candida.

Then I heard from a Dutch friend that her friend Tessa had taken a similar agony and eventually is better by self-healing and works with Erik Noteboom. I had the necessary questions about the (self-help) treatment, unknown to me and Belgium, and moreover, I had to go from Antwerp to Amsterdam every week, but given the reliable source of this information, I have dared to to go to Lyme (Borrelia) Self Help Group The Netherlands.

Now 30 weeks later I have made incredible progress. I rarely have to spend an afternoon in my bed (the past few years have been a daily occurrence). I can do things that I no longer dared to dream of, I have a life and quality of life again and I thoroughly enjoy not having to drag through my day every day.

It was not an easy 30 weeks, the self-healing process is not in a continuous upward trend, it is trial and error and it takes a lot of patience. But I'm so happy that I pushed through and I'm incredibly grateful to Erik and Tessa for their commitment to providing Lyme patients with this self-treatment. I am grateful that they have made the LTN 4 system and the Bionic 880 available for self-treatment for Lyme patients
