- Lyme is curable, even the Lyme that hides in the brain, post antibiotic treatment.
- Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose using the Western blot test which is the standard test that is covered under most insurance policies. It is less than forty percent accurate in diagnosing lyme.
- If the tick bite is not recognized within a few days of the bite, Chronic Lyme can set in.
- It can take several months to several years to recover from the symptoms (see Scalar energy healing for fastest recovery).
- Lyme disease is often called “chronic” if it is not eliminated within two weeks to a couple months.
- Lyme disease is considered “acute” if it is eliminated with 2-4 weeks of doxycycline and symptoms go away quickly. They will often tell you that 2-4 weeks of antibiotics should eliminate all symptoms. They will most often leave you feeling as though you should have been ”better by now” and feeling abandoned with no solutions.
- Recently, the CDC has finally recognized “Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome” to at least acknowledge the percentage of Lyme sufferers who do not improve and/or who’s symptoms linger for months or years. https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/postlds/index.html
- A few clinics exist back east specific to Lyme care, but it is far from the norm at this time and deals with symptom care, rather than eradicating the pathogens.
- Many people have been told by their doctors that they have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis or other incorrect diagnoses, which are actually only symptomatic conditions. These conditions only indicate a “surface diagnosis” for the certain pathogens underneath the illness. These pathogens which can include Lyme, often go beyond the capabilities of standard medical testing, because the condition is not fully understood yet by science and varies from patient to patient.
- It is impossible to show positive markers on the Western Blot test if Lyme(borrelia) is not present, yet diagnosis is denied unless your test reveals 5 markers. (I always showed 2 markers and they were identified as the body and tail of borrelia). ‘Out of pocket’ tests through my naturopath(ispot Lyme TM) revealed a full Lyme infection.
- Ticks can carry up to 11 different co-infections which can require separate types of treatment. Babesia and Bartonella are two of the most common. It can be difficult to diagnose these and payment and treatment is out of pocket.
- Western medical doctors will not test for coinfections. Lyme literate naturopaths can test for these, for a hefty fee not covered by insurance.
- Two to four weeks of doxycycline will kill most of the Lyme but will leave a percentage of the borrelia pathogen in your head/brain to continue to multiply every 21 days. This is a significant reason as to why naturopaths continue to treat many Lyme patients year after year with antibiotics when the patient becomes sick again.
- When Lyme borrelia dies off, it leaves a sticky toxin comprised of the dead borrelia that your body has to eliminate. It can also cause “herxing,” which is an overload of toxins in the system that can be debilitating, but temporary.
- Constant detoxification using cholestyramine, welchol, ionic foot bath, epsom salt baths, systemic enzymes, calcium bentonite, chlorella. charcoal etc. is crucial in the process of beating Lyme. Scalar technology eradicates Lyme and its toxins, however, reducing the constant need for detoxing.
- 25% of the population does not eliminate toxins effectively. This is a genetic mutation that can be tested for by most naturopaths, and it is valuable information to know. Lyme sufferers are often in this percentage.
- Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme) can be extremely debilitating in itself, but can also make the body susceptible to other new and dormant viruses, such as Epstein Barr (if you’ve had mono), HHV-6 (the Roseola virus from infancy), Coxsackievirus, HPV and others. This is often referred to as a “viral explosion.”
- Viral conditions can “move in” and become as chronic and debilitating as the Lyme infection itself, due to the body’s overloaded immune system. Dr. Kathleen Vigano and the doctors at the Stanford Chronic Fatigue Clinic routinely test for these viruses.
- Many people with Chronic Lyme can develop a staph infection in the sinuses called MARCoNS(Multiple antibiotic resistant coagulase negative staphylococci). Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, leading expert in Lyme research, has researched this extensively. This link explains the complicated compensation process the body undergoes to right itself in the presence of this bacteria. The end result can be a dangerously low ADH hormone level which can cause coma or death. Standard hospital/ER tests for lowered ADH levels do not detect this condition sufficiently. A full independent blood panel specific to ADH must be run to determine this accurately. This includes CBC with/diff, CMP, and ADH w/Osmolality. These tests take a couple weeks to get results. Lab Corp sends the tests back to Virginia, then to another lab in North Carolina. If the results show low ADH, desmopressin will be prescribed to raise the ADH level and must be administered in graduated doses for safety reasons to prevent the blood/sodium levels in the brain from spiking. http://dlmcharlie.wixsite.com/dlmmicro/marcons-testing
- CIRS (Chronic inflammatory response syndrome) can become a problem which results from extreme inflammation(raised levels of cytokines) in the tissues and an inflammatory response with many foods. A gluten free diet is essential to keep inflammatory response at bay. This condition is also known as biotoxin illness.
- Household molds can exacerbate symptoms severely and houses need to be tested for mold. Naturopaths frequently test for mold toxins in the body.
- Mold overgrowth can also develop in the body due to over prescribing of mold-based antibiotics(according to Master John Douglas).
- The CDC was working on a vaccination for Lyme that was abandoned many years ago. The vaccination exists for dogs.
- There is no one herbal or antibiotic treatment that will completely cure Lyme. Many herbs can support the body’s functioning, but Lyme will embed itself in the brain and house itself in the impenetrable form of biofilms. This fact necessitates the need for frequency based healing.
- Herbs and antibiotics cannot cross the blood-brain barrier nor can they fully penetrate biofilms.
- Frequency based healing especially Scalar Energy healing CAN cross the blood brain barrier and biofilms.
- Frequent massage is important to move toxins out of the tissues in general and for post-healing tissue recovery.
- Lyme can be something that drives families apart because people are not equipped to understand the symptoms and doctors often exacerbate the confusion. It is not uncommon for some family members to “opt out” due to stress and confusion. Counseling is recommended, if possible. Support is critical.
- It is not uncommon for family members to blame the lyme-sufferer because they believe the doctor who says that their Lyme symptoms should have cleared up.
- Depression and chronic anxiety is very common with Lyme especially due to the damage of the myelin sheath (which protects nerve endings) since the Lyme spirochetes house themselves within the nervous system. Standard treatment options for depression and anxiety are typically unsuccessful.
- Chronic Lyme can be so severe and debilitating that you and your family members feel helpless with nowhere to turn.
- It is common for Western doctors who have only been trained in Acute Lyme treatment to ask Chronic Lyme sufferers to undergo a mental health exam under the assumption that if your symptoms persist after antibiotics, it MUST be YOU. And it MUST be in your head.
- No pill can fully eliminate Lyme. Some patients can get back on their feet or back to work with antibiotics or herbal methods, but many cannot.
- Naturopathic doctors are left with the burden of caring for lyme patients, believing our stories, giving us hope and an empathic ear, testing, diagnosing and treating us with everything from Glutethione pushing to Ozone and Vitamin C therapies, alkaline and gluten-free diets and a dizzying myriad of herbs, vitamins and antibiotics.
- Many naturopaths attend “Lyme-summits” and international councils on Lyme research while standard doctors often turn a deaf ear and blind eye to the epidemic.
- Frequency and energy based treatment modalities are in their grassroots stages in this country(not in others), but are providing much hope in permanently eliminating pathogens from the body(see my web pages on bioacoustic therapy, bicom technology, photon therapy and especially, Scalar energy healing).
- Scalar energy healing is delivering tremendous results in Lyme treatment, typically within 6-12 months on the Standard Scalar Session. Over 400.000 pathogens are included in the remote healing, including all forms of borrelia and co-infections. It is revolutionary technology(based on Tesla’s coil technology) that really works to eliminate Lyme, coinfections, viruses and toxins. Please refer to the main menu under Healing Advice.
