What happens in Bad Aibling hopefully stays in Bad Aibling

Blog # 2 - Day 3

Where the hell is Bad Aibling 

We have arrived in Bad Aibling, 56 KM south of Munich. Famous for 2 things :

(1) A Techno and House music festival that takes place annually in August

(2) A Bavarian Spa town with several renowned rehabilitation clinics

Unfortunately we are here for the latter, although I am not sure spending a week at a Techno Music festival is our thing either !!


Deena has checked into the Clinic where she will be spending at least the next 3 weeks. It is certainly not a modern hospital, but the nurses and doctors couldn’t have been more welcoming. I actually can’t believe how genuinely nice all the Germans have been.

The Clinic has a 75% success rate of eliminating Borreliosis, the bacteria that causes Lyme.  

Over the next 3 weeks Deena has multiple treatments each day that include aggressive detoxification, blood washing, mitochondrial repair, immune regenerative therapy, and photodynamic laser therapy. However the real reason we are in Germany is that on Monday she starts Antibiotic Augmented Thermoeradication, try saying that in German. This treatment is not available in USA.

For six hours they will heat Deena’s body to 107 F and then pump her body intravenously with a cocktail of very strong antibiotics.Will update with pictures Monday .

I have checked into the 5 star Hotel opposite the clinic and will spend my days checking in on Deena, working and deciding between a menu full of Schnitzel's, Therma Spas, Sauna’s and Mud Wraps.

Thank you for keeping us posted and wishing Deena only the best thoughts for a successful outcome from this treatment. She is so brave! Marc, At least you got the priority right between visiting Deena and the schnitzels, therma spas, saunas and mud wraps! Sounds like Bad Aibling is only bad in name! (Michael)

Thanks for the update and sending all our love and best (James & Laura)

Ps Marc - can’t beat the Zigeunerschnitzel (with a bell pepper sauce) with some potato salad but don’t eat German sausages because they are the wurst. Also don’t mention the war(s).
