The India Story, Lyme Disease, Drugs & Treatments

Global Post writer Mridu Khullar nailed an article on Dr. Shroff's stem cell therapy in India, fairly telling the story and accurately covering the delicate issues that surround it. My story as well as my doctor's comments were also included. Thank you Mridu for going beyond what most of the media ever does -- and reaching a place where the story ends up telling itself.

After a recent discussion about stem cells and Lyme Disease on Lymenet.org, an online Lyme community, a fellow stem cell patient who underwent therapy in India chimed in to offer his experience for other people to read. I am posting his experience here with permission. I have had many requests for other patient stories and I thank him for being willing to do this.

I'm writing this partly for self-sanity, partly for all the other Lyme patients brave enough to embark on this journey of healing and up against one of the most difficult challenges in their lifetime: being misunderstood.

It seems I have to answer this, totally emotionless, once and for all. I may paste it on my forehead and the signature tagline in my e-mail. I get asked it so many times that my answer seems canned. And despite absolutely loving that I can inspire hope in so many via the phone and e-mail, prospective patients need a place to go and read this for themselves. Over and over if they wish.....

I am still marveling at the color copies of my SPECT brain scan, although somewhat in disbelief. My passion for photography does not come close to producing pictures like the ones that manifested from last week’s scan, just days before I left India. In fact, I could not intentionally capture colors so vivid, or an image so real and telling of an illness that has now officially lost its battle, little by little and day by day since my first stem cell injection December 11, 2007.

I've caught myself accidentally wincing a few times lately. I'm not proud to admit this, but it's a consequence of full disclosure. My antibiotic shots have been making it less than pleasant to sit, roll over in bed, or get up from any "not already up" position I might be in. The last time I did this was May through October of last year. It's like my muscles remembers the needles. I'm not even a week into my routine and already, I have a boycotting butt.

I don't know what she calls herself. In technical terms, she's a holistic chiropractor. But, she claims she has a keen sense, and is able to "read" energy. Even more stunning, she can do it over the phone.
