Chiropractic with Dr. Woitzel at 11:30;
Walking around Dobel
Nap and Sauna
Dinner
I awoke fighting a slight headache, feeling quite sluggish and having some pain in my back and side (kidneys and liver?).
Today I had a chiropractic appointment with Dr. Woitzel, much shorter than the lengthy time yesterday. He went over my symptoms and did a urine test, but it looked like everything was fine. He does a swedish form of chiropractic, and it was different than anything I've ever done before, especially since I had to do it in my underwear.
Afterward, we did a bit of shopping and then had lunch at the apartment. We then walked around Dobel and found the public sauna, where I later went back to see if I could sweat some of the toxins out.
After dinner I was dead to the world, very exhausted, and slept from 9:30 until 8:30 in the morning.

My first appointment was with Dr. Woitzel at 2 p.m. today. Pforzheim is about 30 minutes from where we are staying in Dobel, and once we got into the town I could see how much nicer it is to stay in the country. The city is very hilly and congested in the part that we saw, and we were hard pressed to find a parking place. Finally, Neutina, Dr. Woitzel's assistant came, and she rode with us to show us where to park without an hourly ticket.
We sat for some time in a busy waiting room. Then Dr. Woitzel came in, gregarious and genuine, and I enjoyed both he and his staff right away. He met with me for some time going over the tests I had brought and my medical history, then took me in to his bio-resonance machine to test me for Lyme (borreliosis). When he did so he said right away, "You have it very heavy in your system." He repeated this several times during the afternoon, sometimes saying, "You have it very bad." He said he believed I had had it for 15-20 years possibly.
Dr. Woitzel filled out a prescription for me, and Ann and I went down to the corner pharmacy to have it filled. The cost was 135 euros.
Following this, I was set up with the Bionic 880 machine, and spent an hour placing the wand at different points on my body, for a designated amount of time. I was given a pitcher of water and told to drink the whole thing during the time I was using the light device. After this, I was given an infusion of magnesium and zinc, which took another 45 minutes. The Bionic made me tired and the infusion made me cold. It was almost 7:00 p.m. when we made our way in the rain up the hill to the car.
Nevertheless we stopped at the Aldi Market on the way home to gather groceries. I bathed while Ann made some dinner. Not feeling well, I went to bed soon, but got up in the middle of the night.
I am to have treatments every Monday and Thursday for 3 weeks, and on the last Thursday he will test again to see if I need more treatments.

Lyme Treatments with Dr. Woitzel
Sunday night, September 21, 2008
We had a fantastic day visiting the castle at Neuschwanstein with Ruth and Daniel Buchholz.
We did not leave until late -- but before we did, Ruth talked to Karin Klein, the owner of the apartments we will stay at in Dobel, and let her know when we would be in.
I was surprised to find that we climbed into the mountains, and though it was dark, it was easy to make out the towering forest that bordered the road on both sides. We found the apartments easily, just at the beginning of town on the main road. Karin was there to greet us warmly and walk us up to the top apartment where we will live for at least 3 weeks.
Like many German apartments, you walk into a hallway with many doors. There is a door to the toilet, the bathroom (with a great tub for my evening soaks), the bedroom, the livingroom, and the kitchen/dining room (this also has a bed for sleeping).
Tired, we took turns at the bath, and snuggled in.
I am hopeful and a bit scared about tomorrow. I hope that this will help me regain my health, I fear that I have come all this way and it will be less than I hope. I read some verses before drifting off into a deep sleep. I am in the arms of God.
