<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://www.buttecounty.net/publichealth/cder/lyme__tick2.jpg" height="264" id="il_fi" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seventh in our series of tips on Lyme disease is a completion to the question, "Can Lyme disease be cured?"<br /><br />It would appear that everyone agrees that a “Cure” is a condition of the body returning to health. If it is true that “Cure” is a restoration of health and thereby the absence of symptoms, then “Disease” is a loss of health with the onset of symptoms.<br /><br />We are really discussing the role of the bugs versus the role of the body in creating disease, and the role of the absence of bugs versus the role of the body restoring health.<br /><br />Do we suppose that bacteria and viruses are somehow stronger during the winter months? After all, winter is the time of year that people typically get sick the most with infections. Of course not! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bacteria and viruses don’t somehow get stronger in wintertime. The human body is weakened by the extreme cold and inactivity, low vit. D from lack of sunshine, not to mention the mental and emotional fear that has been ingrained in us by the media that “We are entering flu season!” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we see that whether we are talking about Lyme bacteria or the flu, when the body is optimally healthy we enjoy a symptom-free life. When the body is weakened we experience dis-ease.<br /><br />When a person gets over strep throat they are cured and the symptoms go away with or without antibiotics within 10 days. Are ALL the strep bacteria gone? No, and none of the doctors seem too concerned as long as your symptoms go away. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does the fact that you still have some Strep bacteria mean you will get strep throat again? Are you a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off? No! If you go to a rock concert and yell and scream, while drinking copious amounts of alcohol, and smoke, then the mucus membranes in the throat will be damaged and the Strep bacteria, which were always there even in the healthy throat, create the “strep throat” illness symptoms again.<br /><br />“But this is Lyme disease!” I can hear people saying. “But I was completely healthy before I got bitten by a tick!” Of course the bacteria do matter once it has gotten out of control in a person’s body. And no, you were not optimally healthy before you got bitten, even if you were a tri-athlete. No bacteria can thrive out of control in an optimally healthy human.<br /><br />In medical “science” it is convenient in a disease like Lyme disease, where the laboratory tests have such a high rate of false-negative tests, that after a course of antibiotics a person is often proclaimed cured, when the follow-up lab tests come back negative. The person with the Lyme disease is left in a perplexing position because often none of their symptoms are gone and their health has definitely not been restored. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not good science. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every flu/cold, infection you ever had in your life is likely still in your body. Kind of makes one go, "Hmmmm!"<br /><br />Do I believe that Lyme disease is curable? Yes absolutely, to the degree that your body can be repaired. If your body has been damaged beyond repair by the medicines, by accidents, by surgeries, by radiation, by trauma by any means, it will be limited to that degree.<br /><br />The restoration of health, “CURE” is the result of facilitating the restoration of the integrity and function of every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit. Every organ, system, tissue, and cell must be restored to optimum integrity all at the same time.<br /><br />This is the goal of American Biological Medicine, to use the best scientific understanding and to push the natural science as we understand it, beyond the simplistic blood tests, and yes, it is simplistic to base health on the presence or absence of bacteria or antibodies present in the blood, to work with the perspective that at no time can or should a doctor harm one part of the body in order to correct another.<br /><br />When through whatever methods, natural or otherwise, a person experiences a restoration of health, by definition they are cured.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://www.buttecounty.net/publichealth/cder/lyme__tick2.jpg" height="264" id="il_fi" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My sixth tip on Lyme disease deals with the realities of damage due to infection and also from treatments.<br /><br />I have made the analogy of LD being like having termites in the wall of your house. You can kill the termites (Lyme bacteria) but it does nothing to repair the damage already done to the wood of your house (body). Any stiff wind can further damage your now weakened house.<br /><br />People come to the Hansa Center from all over the world. They are damaged often beyond repair from the illness and the previous aggressive treatments. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the Hansa Center, we do not specialize in the treatment of diseases, such as Lyme disease. We are never saying thus saith me you have Lyme bacteria and we are going to give you such and such remedy and kill the bugs for your body. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We specialize in facilitating the restoration of what can be restored.<br /><br />We definitely do not represent here on Facebook, or anywhere else, that we can get everyone well, nor keep everyone well. We are not God, nor do we desire to play God. </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What we represent is what we believe is the most ideal way to facilitate the body's ability to heal. We cannot make any guarantee except that we will do all we can to undo the damage and relieve the suffering to the best of our ability.<br /><br />There is no arrogance in Biological Medicine, just the humbleness of knowing how limited all of us in health care are in the total scheme of things.<br /><br />This is the healing philosophy that I would suggest if you were my mother, sister, brother, wife, child, and father...as a matter of fact it is what they all have benefited from over the last twenty years. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Almost 100% of our patients have experienced the full gamut of huge amounts of antibiotics and show the damage, possibly permanent damage as a result. This damage may predispose them to recurrent infections, to say the least. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel that often people make less than optimal health care choices at the front end of their illness that set the tone for the rest of their lives. They then are greatly upset when we cannot put them back together. Better to adopt a more rounded treatment approach from the start, that may indeed include a short period of antibiotics, but carefully selected and balanced with the natural treatment techniques and philosophy expounded by those trained in Biological Medicine.<br /><br />I am writing these Health tips in order for people who are chronically ill and have been damaged from the illness and possibly their treatments, to do more than just "kill the termites", but to "repair the wood" so they can have the most secure "house" possible. I also hope that those people who took a different path with less than optimal results might be able to advise others who are just diagnosed with an alternate path that might just help eliminate much needless suffering.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img src="http://www.buttecounty.net/publichealth/cder/lyme__tick2.jpg" height="264" id="il_fi" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the fifth tip of our series on Lyme disease, I want to answer the question several people have posed to me. Do I believe that even late stage, neurological, and chronic Lyme disease can be truly cured?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a huge believer that LD can be cured, not just put into remission! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remission is a drug-induced illusion of health. Remission might as well be thought of as magic. In this grand illusion, if you take the pills/IV's away, the reality behind the illusion is that you still have the illness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do not believe in destroying the body in an effort to theoretically kill all of the bacteria. I estimate, based upon research in infectious disease, that if you could eliminate 75-85% of the bacteria AND restore all of the other structural, chemical, stress, and bioenergetic problems, that you could have a complete restoration of health. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you maintain your newfound health, you will enjoy good health for the rest of your life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much of the world has gotten lazy with the advent of illusionary pharmaceutical drugs. With drugs you don't have to learn to watch what you eat...you can always take a purple pill for upset stomach. If you don't control your thinking you can always take an antidepressant for the resulting depression. If you get a fever you can just knock it out with Tylenol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you learn nothing during the journey through restoring health, you will likely get another chance to learn the lessons of healthy living when your illness comes back again, again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the same way that if I had lung cancer from smoking and stopped smoking until I was cured, I wouldn't start smoking again after I was well and expect not to get cancer again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Illness teaches us the benefits of living a healthy, happy, well-balanced life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you take a person who is cured of Lyme disease who starts working too much, eating too much, not controlling their thoughts, words, emotions, reactions, and responses, and continues subjecting their body, mind, and spirit to extremes of negativity, and harmful lifestyles, it will only result in a return of illness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The resulting recurrence of illness is not a coming out of remission...it is the effect of trashing the body in which health had been restored. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To be cured is to have truly restored and repaired all that was wrong in your body, mind, and spirit. Sustained health is the product of properly maintaining your body, mind, spirit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe through the healing philosophies of Biological Medicine, if given enough time and resources, and through thoughtfully applied knowledge and healing modalities, a cure can be had for anyone who does not have permanently destroyed tissues. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">If you live outside of the State of Kansas and are considering coming to the Hansa Center...you are not alone...over 90% of our patients come from other states and countries.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fourth in our series on Lyme disease deals with a question on everyone's mind. Is your treatment plan headed for "cure" or will it only create remission? Do you know the difference between cure and remission? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The answer to this question is pivotal in understanding the different treatment philosophies in the world. The is on the mind of every person treated with conventional medicine, “Am I a ticking time bomb?” “Will the hell that I have gone through just come back someday?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are fortunate individuals who take just antibiotics and experience a restoration of asymptomatic life. From the poll I had on here the other day it appears that most people reading these Health tips have been treated with huge amounts of antibiotics for extended periods.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When a person takes antibiotics for a chronic infection, such as Lyme disease, without addressing the underlying systemic issues that lead to the actual "dis-ease", and because the bacterial overgrowth is indeed a only symptom of underlying problems in the body…you are most often only in remission.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simply having Lyme bacteria and co-infections in a person's body does not mean that person will ever come down with the disease. This means the presence of bacteria is not the ultimate cause of LD. The bacteria might be thought of as the spark, while the weaknesses in the body are the dynamite! No weakness equals no explosion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis are suppressed through drug therapy…you are in remission.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When conventional chemotherapy and radiation destroy cancer cells, and the tumor is only the most evident symptom of systemic problems, without addressing the many causes of the cancerous process…this is remission.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have a knife stuck in your leg and you take morpheme and the pain goes away…you are in remission!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you remove the knife and stitch up the wound and it heals…you are cured.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When all of the various causes and interferences to the optimum integrity and function of the many systems and tissues of the body are removed and the optimum integrity and function of every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit are restored in any named illness…you are cured…the pain goes away, the paralysis reverses, the bacteria become none pathological, the tumor disappears. The symptoms will not return unless you redo the things that set the problem in motion in the first place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The primary difference between the remedies of Biological Medicine and drugs of Allopathic Medicine is that every remedy is used with the sole purpose of restoring some aspect of dysfunction of the body, which once corrected the remedy can be discontinued. The majority of drugs seek only to suppress symptoms and therefore these drugs must be taken for the remainder of the person’s life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most disrespected aspects of natural and conventional medicine’s view of the human body, and its suffering, is that there is little understanding and respect for the wisdom of the body. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is this understanding and wisdom of what problems the body is attempting to adapt to that differentiates the Doctor using Biological Medicine from that of conventional, allopathic medical doctors who justify their suppressive treatments by the disappearance of the symptoms, in spite of what the body is attempting to overcome, and in spite of the secondary side-effects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of the best Biological Medicine hospitals of Europe and those few Biological Medicine clinics in the United States have completely moved away from the treatment of diseases and have moved to the incredibly huge task of systematically of going painstakingly through every issue that can be found in the entire organism of the human. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The philosophy of Biological Medicine seeks to provide the body with the building blocks and corrective bio-information and therapeutics to restore the optimum integrity and function of the entire body, mind, and spirit. From this treatment philosophy the causes and the symptoms of “disease” falls away, and “Health is restored” resulting in cure...in spite of the presence of bacteria!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have included this series on Lyme Disease from Dr. Jernigan's Daily Health Tips on Facebook. Join us at </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/doctordavidjernigan"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.facebook.com/doctordavidjernigan</span></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can Lyme disease really be cured? This is the third in a series on Lyme disease. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The question of whether or not Lyme disease can be cured is a recurring question that is asked every doctor who is faced with a person suffering from the disease. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The term “Cure” is almost taboo in the healing arts profession. No doctor that I know of is willing to say they can cure any illness…especially not Lyme disease.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before we just say an absolute “No” that Lyme disease is incurable lets see what the best medical dictionaries define the word “Cure” as meaning. After all, these medical dictionaries are the basis of what even the most agnostic doctors hold up as “truth.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The following definitions are taken from Dorland’s Medical Dictionary and Stedman’s Medical Dictionary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CURE </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">noun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1. Restoration of health; recovery from disease.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 2. A method or course of medical treatment used to restore health.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 3. An agent, such as a drug, that restores health; a remedy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 4. Something that corrects or relieves a harmful or disturbing situation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CURE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> verb.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1. To restore to health.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 2. To effect a recovery from: cure a cold.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 3. To remove or remedy (something harmful or disturbing): cure an evil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reading these definitions one immediately notices that at no time does the word cure mean all the bacteria are gone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A patient of mine said it best on a Lyme forum, “Antibiotics are for killing, not healing.” Now doctors may read this and say the antibiotic “killing” of the bacteria creates healing by eliminating the cause of the disease…but in their own scientific scrutiny does this line of thought hold up to its claims? Not according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the worlds leading, peer-reviewed, medical journal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Articles in the JAMA encourage doctors to stop treating every suspected infection with antibiotics. This is because international research, which is cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have demonstrated that a doctor will usually prescribe antibiotics for a “routine” sinus, ear, eye, respiratory infection for approximately 7-10 days. What the research found is that even without prescribing antibiotics that the infection was resolved with 7-10 days.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the medical research and the medical definition of cure show that a “Cure” is not the absence of bacteria. The people experienced a “Restoration of health” without killing all of the bacteria. And yes for those of you who might say the body killed the bacteria via the immune system, this too is not borne out by the medical research that reveals the Strep or whatever bacteria is was is still in the body, only it is now non-pathological.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the second tip in a series on understanding what it really takes to get the quality of life back that was lost due to infections, such as Lyme disease. So much has been written by doctors and researchers about how to kill bacteria and dissolve biofilms. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been ingrained into our core beliefs that in Lyme Disease and other chronic infections that a person will not get well until all the bacteria are killed. This is a myth in medicine. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I guarantee that even if you could be irradiated, like a hunk of meat, and kill every single Lyme bacteria instantly, you would still have most if not all of your symptoms for a long time, if that was all you did. Health is not the absence of bacteria. It is the restoration of optimum coherence on every level of human existence. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While bringing down the bacterial population is desirable, the reality is that you will be well when the structural integrity and function integrity of the entire human organism has be restored.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: black;">So many people are dutifully taking their antibiotics, either prescription or botanticals, and running frequencies to kill various bacteria, and have been doing so for years wondering why they are not feeling any better. <br /><br />For those of you who are doing a very much comprehensive approach and are still not getting well, that just means that either your doctors are missing some key issue, or time is what is needed for the body's tissues to heal.<br /><br />I ask that you consider every infection you have ever had. Generally, you might have taken an antibiotic for a short time, or just waited, and your body got over it. All of the bacteria and viruses were not completely killed, yet your body was able to control them and restore the balance.<br /><br />Following are examples of various doctors who have achieved lasting health restoration in many people previously diagnosed with LD by identifying the primary areas of interference. <br /><br />It must be understood that optimum health is the point at which the body, mind, and spirit can adapt instantly and correctly to any changes in their internal and external environment. Loss of this adaptability arises prior to the occurrence of what is known as LD. <br /><br />Every aspect of the human condition must be explored, identified, and corrected at its source before lasting health can restored. <br /><br />Latent or recent infection with Lyme bacteria leading to the eventual diagnosis of LD, in each case, is secondary to the underlying interferences from either inherited or acquired disturbances to adaption.<br /><br />Dr. Osvaldo Font, M.D. in Puerto Rico, who was recently nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his development of Electro-Neuro-Medullar Therapy, has identified an electrical resistance or blockage in the spinal cord, which causes a short-circuit in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Once this accumulated energy is discharged and the current is restored, the neurological symptoms and pain fall away. It has been reported that Dr. Font’s treatments have facilitated almost 500 people to be able to get out of their wheelchairs, many of whom were previously thought to be suffering from chronic Lyme disease.<br /><br />Dr. E. Mark Haacke, Ph.D. is the inventor of MRI-angiography, and is the leading expert on measuring the blood flow dynamics of the neurovascular system. He is the founder of International Society of Neurovascular Disease (</span><a href="http://www.isnvd.org/"><span style="color: black;">www.isnvd.org</span></a><span style="color: black;">) Dr. Haacke has research data soon to be published that defines findings associated degenerative neurological conditions such as MS, ALS, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases that are often associated with LD. His research reveals disturbances in vascular flow in the veins of the brain and neck, the ultimate correction of which has restored neurological function in people with previously diagnosed with M.S. symptoms, neurological diseases, autonomic disorders, pain syndromes, and Lyme disease.<br /><br />There are many other doctors that could be mentioned for demonstrating how what was thought to be completely an infectious disease is actually a loss of adaption in the body, possibly set in motion originally by infection. <br /><br />Every doctor trained in the healing philosophies of Biological Medicine is accustomed to seeing often rapid, and transformative restorations of health after correcting everything that is interfering with the body’s own restorative abilities.<br /><br />The point here is to show that once the diagnosis is made of Lyme disease, 99% of doctors focus their primary efforts toward annihilating the bacteria and coinfections, and all of the other treatments revolve around that primary focus. <br /><br />In chronic Lyme disease especially, it appears that the center of focus must be placed on restoring optimum coherence within the body, with the microbial issues being addressed as a secondary focus.<br /><br />It is interesting that many people who would have adamantly defended the fact that they are sick because they have Lyme disease, had to agree that in the end the treatment of bacteria ultimately played only a small role in the restoring of their quality of life, once they were restored to health through the efforts of the doctors of the type presented herein.</span></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"></span> <img src="http://www.buttecounty.net/publichealth/cder/lyme__tick2.jpg" height="264" id="il_fi" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the first in a series on Lyme Disease and other infections. Bacteria-focused Treatments in Lyme Disease May be Incorrect.<br /><br />In most Lyme disease treatment philosophies the focus of every treatment revolves around the killing of bacteria and coinfections.<br /><br />Whether the treatment is conventional antibiotics, botanical antimicrobial supplements, or antimicrobial rife-frequencies all of these treatment focus on the “bugs” as the ultimate cause of dis-ease, and their annihilation the ultimate cure. Is this treatment focus correct? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clinical research suggests that in the many of the people who experience long-term recovery from chronic Lyme disease (CLD) the bacteria and coinfections played only a secondary role in their recovery.<br /><br />The focus of this tip is to propose a bio-centric, instead of microbe-centric focus in the treatment of people suffering from what is generally called CLD.<br /><br />While many doctors and people can point to remissions in individuals, brought about by antibiotic-type treatments, the ultimate role played by these drugs/supplements is over-glamorized, while the restorative functions of the human body is downplayed or ignored altogether. Health restoration is a function of the body, not a function of a drug.<br /><br />In an illness where all LD laboratory tests demonstrate a high, false-negative rate, even in profoundly sick LD cases, the extensive antibiotic treatment and subsequent finding of a negative lab test means very little to validate the effectiveness of the treatment.<br /><br />In my opinion, having interviewed thousands of people treated primarily with long-term, natural, and conventional antibacterial medications, the vast majority of people report that they have nowhere near the quality of life they once enjoyed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While bringing down the population of offending microbes is important, their complete annihilation is not ultimately what creates the restoration of optimum health<br /><br />Interestingly, when I spoke with the owners to two of the top Lyme research laboratories, each told me that they had never seen anyone's blood tests completely clear of the Lyme bacteria, even after years of antibiotic cocktails, rife treatments, botanical formulas, homeopathic remedy, or silver products. Yet, many of the people tested had regained their quality of life for many years and were no longer considered sick.<br /><br />It turns out we all have Strep bacteria in our respiratory tract, but we may never have "Strep throat." This same Strep bacteria we were told could kill us...and it could in the right body environment.<br /><br />It is the same with LD. A person may always have the bacteria yet never have the disease as long as they maintain a healthy condition. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just testing positive to having a certain bacteria or virus does not mean you will come down with a disease from that bug. Nor are you a ticking time bomb. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Treat the bugs and more bugs will follow. Treat the human condition and health will follow.</span></div>

This is one of my absolute favorite bath therapies. It is the first thing we do for our own family whenever we feel we are developing a cold or illness. Not only does it detoxify the body and relieve pain, but it seems to also stop many infections quickly and help the body regain balance. Through medical studies, this therapy has been shown to relieve pain that did not even respond to narcotic medicines.<br />
<br />
<strong>You will need:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>4-6 cups Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate)</li>
<li>32 to 64 fluid Ounces of Hydrogen Peroxide (3%, as found in grocery stores)</li>
<li>2-4 Tablespoons of Ginger (fresh grated preferably, wrapped in a thin piece of cloth or in a tea ball. An old piece of nylon hose also works well.)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>Instructions:</strong><br />
<br />
This and all bath therapies work best by first dry skin brushing the entire body (see Chapter 15, Dry Skin Brushing). This removes the layer of dead skin that may otherwise block the absorption of energy and nutrients from this bath and stimulates the blood and lymph fluids to rise to the skin to accept the healing effects of the bath.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Fill tub with warm water. Add the above ingredients.</li>
<li>Soak for at least 20 minutes. The beneficial effects of this bath are cumulative and increase in effectiveness the more you use them.</li>
<li>Recommended taken for at least seven consecutive days, or as recommended by yourdoctor. Continued use daily, or as needed, is fine.</li>
<li>Do not use if you are pregnant.</li>
</ul>

<strong>Actions of Bath Ingredients</strong><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Hydrogen Peroxide – a simple, nontoxic molecule of H2O2 that is beneficial in oxidizing (breaking down) toxins as well as killing anaerobic microbes. It will also detoxify pesticides and petroleum-based toxins and oxidize metals. Hydrogen peroxide is also naturally produced by macrophages in the body to kill harmful bacteria. Most harmful bacteria are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. Cancer cells are often very sensitive to increases in oxygen and cannot survive in oxygen-rich environments. When hydrogen peroxide is applied topically to a cut, the resulting bubbling is from the rapid release of free oxygen and, more importantly, from the killing of the bacteria in the cut. Friendly bacteria are aerobic and need and thrive on oxygen.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) – Recent research has shown that when one soaks in a bath of magnesium sulfate, both magnesium and the sulfate independently increase measurably in the blood and urine. Magnesium sulfate helps stabilize Hydrogen Peroxide so that its ultimate breakdown into H2O and free oxygen is more gradual and functional to the process of benefiting the body. This research documents the very real beneficial aspects of this bath therapy. The Epsom Salt Council reports the following about the benefits of Magnesium in Epsom Salt baths.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Magnesium, a major component of Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate), is the second-most abundant element in human cells and the fourth-most important positively charged ion in the body. Magnesium also helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. The National Academy of Sciences, however, reports that most Americans are magnesium deficient, which may account for our society's high rate of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and joint pain, digestive maladies and stress-related illnesses, chronic fatigue and a host of other ailments. The Academy estimates the average American male gets just 80% of the magnesium required for good health, while females get only 70% of their recommended levels. Nutritionists say Americans' magnesium levels have dropped more than 50% in the past century.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>Raising magnesium levels may:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Improve heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots, and lowering blood pressure.</li>
<li>Improve the body's ability to use insulin, reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes.</li>
<li>Flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.</li>
<li>Improve nerve function by regulating electrolytes. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood.</li>
<li>Relieve stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of wellbeing and relaxation.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>Sulfate:</strong> <br />
<br />
The “sulfate” part of Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate). This form of sulfate must not be confused with “Sulfa” drugs, to which some people are allergic. People who are allergic to sulfa drugs will not react to the sulfate in Epsom Salt. The benefits of sulfate in the body are summarized by Dr. Rosemary Waring of the School of Biosciences, in Birmingham, England:i<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Oral supplementation of Sulfate cannot be easily absorbed across the gut walls; therefore, by soaking in this bath, sulfate can be more efficiently supplemented. Sulfate is essential for many biological processes.</li>
<li>Sulfate is needed for formation of proteins in joints; decreased sulfate levels are common in the plasma and joint synovial fluids in cases of arthritis. Sulfate is also low in people with irritable bowel syndrome. ii, iii</li>
<li>Sulfate in necessary for sulfation, a major pathway in detoxifying drugs and endogenous (toxins from within the body) or exogenous (environmental) toxins.</li>
<li>Sulfate is necessary for the repair and formation of brain tissue. Reduced levels of sulfate can lead to faulty neurological connections and subsequent dysfunction.</li>
<li>Sulfate is needed for proper digestion and for proper utilization of digestive enzymes.</li>
<li>Sulfate is essential for the production of mucin, a protein which lines the intestines. Mucin stops food and drugs from sticking to the lining of the intestines. It also blocks the transport of toxins from the gut into the bloodstream.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>Ginger </strong>- functions to open up the pores of the skin and increase the blood flow at the surface of the skin, so that the oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide can do its work in detoxifying poisons and kill bacteria and fungi. The pores open wider so that the magnesium sulfate can be more readily absorbed. Ginger is invigorating and can stimulate perspiration for the elimination of toxins.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The question has been asked as to when Lyme disease first arrived in the population. Of course there is the well-known discovery of Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes in the 80’s, but many doctors know that it has been around for a very long time, though it was called different things based upon what symptoms a person was having. </div><br />
It is interesting to this author that medicine has been chasing one “bug” after another in the attempt to nail down exactly why this is one of the most prevalent diseases on the planet. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
At first these same people were told their primary cause for their symptoms was diet related, and many doctors ran to place their patients on restrictive diets. Next came Candida yeast, and every doctor ran to treat his or her patients with anti-yeast products and yeast cleanses. When that ultimately didn’t work, doctors learned of the prevalence of parasitic infection in many people and yeast was dropped and anti-parasitic protocols were the rage. Still many people were left still sick. So virus’ were then blamed for all the symptoms and exotic treatments were developed to eliminate Epstein-Barr Virus and Cytomegalovirus, and others. Still many remained sick. <br />
<br />
Once Lyme disease was identified as a bacteria spirochete, everyone ran to antibiotics with the promise of annihilating these bugs and delivering a cure finally. The full gamut of prescription antibiotics often still did little to relieve the suffering in the long run. <br />
<br />
Eventually a string of “co-infections” were identified and Babesia microti, Ehrlichia, and the cyst form of Borrelia were added to the most-wanted hit list. This lead to more drugs but often more symptoms as well as the drugs wreaked their havoc of the bodies of the hapless victims of this bug hunt. <br />
<br />
Human-Herpes Virus-6 and Bartonella bacteria were added to the hit list and soon it was all out war against everything from yeast to Bartonella, not to mention swine flu and every other bug that might wander by into the crossfire of the anti-life (anti-biotic) war. <br />
<br />
Bugs, bugs, bugs, and more bugs! What is next and when are we going to learn that killing bugs most often does not lead to a restoration of health? <br />
<br />
While antibiotics have historically and still do save lives in certain situations, it would seem that in the conditions generally lumped together as Lyme Disease, that killing more bugs is not the answer! <br />
<br />
We definitely know that it is not the absence of symptoms, since feeling good is no guarantee of being healthy. We also know that everyone has Strep bacteria and a myriad of other bugs in our body even when we are symptom free year after year. <br />
<br />
True healing can never occur by simply masking the symptoms. And if the bugs are excessively treated without resulting in lasting health, then we know they too are a symptom of underlying problems. <br />
<br />
True Healing is the product of guiding and facilitating the restoration of integrity of every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit through thoughtfully applied physical treatments, natural medicines, and therapies, as well as through teaching and coaching one back to optimum health on all levels. <br />
<br />
Stop the war and start healing today. <br />

<br />
<br />
The reality is that as different as you look from any other person on the planet, your internal organs, tissues, and biochemistry is just as unique. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
It is this uniqueness that causes even aspirin to not work for everyone. <br />
<br />
As a matter of fact, the supposed cardiovascular effects we are told that a baby aspirin provides, in reality only works for one-third of the people…sixty-six percent of the people taking aspirin for their heart are getting no effect. <br />
<br />
While the effectiveness of aspirin is not our target today, it does demonstrate that what a person pays their doctor for is for the doctor’s best educated guess as to what will work for you. <br />
<br />
In the world of Lyme disease, the prevailing medical thought is that one must first and foremost kill all of the bacteria. While clinical experience and laboratory proof have disproven this theory by demonstrating that no one, no matter what treatment regimen, have been found to be completely clear of all the bacteria, even though they may not have had any symptoms for years. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately in Lyme disease, if the person being treated feels even worse after having been put on antibiotics, to the doctor this means the patient is taking the correct remedy. If this isn’t the most backward mentality I don’t know what is! The rationale here is that as one kills the bacteria that toxins are released, therefore causing more symptoms. <br />
<br />
However, with natural medicine, such as herbal, homeopathic, or nutritional medicine, if the patient feels worse, to their physician it indicates that they are having an allergic reaction to the medicine. <br />
<br />
What is a doctor supposed to do? A worsening of a patient’s condition very well could truthfully indicate that the medicine is harmful to the patient or it may be killing bacteria. <br />
<br />
A certain number of doctors have decided that it is insufferable to continue the barbaric doling out of medicines haphazardly and they are learning newer ways to test the patient’s compatibility to the medicines before prescribing or recommending them. <br />
<br />
As it is, without doing some of these new types of testing, no doctor can know with certainty that you won’t be allergic or sensitive to a medicine until you take it and have a reaction that is documented as one of the drug’s more common side effects. <br />
<br />
It is like one of my favorite newspaper cartoons that pictured a doctor prescribing a medicine to a patient and telling him, “Take one of these pills…and if you wake up in the morning, take another!” <br />
<br />
Thankfully very eloquent science exists that has led to the development of very sensitive frequency-based tests that can help eliminate some of the guesswork in doctoring. <br />
<br />
These tests include Bio-Resonance Scanning (BRS), which is four generations beyond Applied Kinesiology (AK), another is called Autonomic Response Testing (ART), Clinical Kinesiology (CK), and Electro-Dermal Screening (EDS). <br />
<br />
Physician training in performing these tests are offered in the post-graduate training that every doctor is required to keep up on in order to maintain their license. The only reason any doctor would opt to learn this unique form of testing is so they can stop the guessing! I guarantee it doesn’t take too many patients dying from the medication a doctor gives them to make the doctor want to learn a better way! <br />
<br />
The reality is that the only doctor who will be able to do these unique tests is one who works outside of a hospital, since the hospitals and the hospital insurance companies dictate what their doctors can and cannot do in the way of testing and treatments. <br />
<br />
Another attribute of these doctors is that they are unique in that they can swallow their pride with their peers and separate themselves from the pack and admit the system is not working very well. <br />
<br />
These tests can help identify with much great accuracy not only if a medicine will cause a problem in the patient…but they can determine the fact before they have even taken the medicine. <br />
<br />
The more advanced testing techniques such as BRS and ART can even help determine which medicine is the most effective for the patient, how much is needed, and even go as far as how much will be tolerated, which in sensitive people can help eliminate problems from the need being so great, but the tolerance of the medicine being so low. <br />
<br />
If you feel like your doctor is just guessing with your health at your expense, you might want to find one who can think outside the box and is willing to test you with one of these new testing techniques. <br />
<br />

At the same time, Lyme in children can be devastating; depending upon their health heritage and the degree of balanced life and stress in the child’s life prior to becoming sick. These issues will dictate how well a child processes through the illness. </div><br />
In a child’s life, stress comes from all directions. In children, as in adults, prolonged stress predisposes one to illness by changing the cellular chemistry. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
It must be remembered that every thought, especially those thoughts backed by strong emotions, is every cell’s command to change its chemical production in order to bring that thought/emotion into reality. Strong negative emotions promote alterations in the immune system’s ability to keep bacteria and other microbes under control, not to mention shift the integrity of every tissue of the body. <br />
<br />
Stress always affects organs. Every type of stress will target a specific organ. The liver is specifically targeted and damaged in the long run by intense and usually suppressed feelings of resentment, frustration, and irritability. <br />
Worry seems to preferentially affect the kidneys, and so forth. Imbalance creates illness. Restoring the functional integrity and balance is the pure goal of biological medicine. <br />
<br />
Stress can start the domino effect that leads to the weakening of the body’s ability to control microbes. <br />
<br />
Even though most children have a high natural vitality, once a child is in trouble from a chronic infection, the treatment decisions become crucial. All efforts must be made to support the body using natural methods that respect the wisdom of the body. <br />
<br />
All treatments must work to address the child on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. High-power drugs and children do not mix well – the resulting imbalance is nearly impossible to reverse. Treatments must work with God’s design of the body, and never opposite of this natural design. <br />
<br />
Every direction a child turns they run into a barrier designed to force them to conform to a society-dictated norm. Parents should recognize that each child is unique in the world and has a unique path and strengths that should be nurtured. A child’s life requires more balance than an adult, due to the fact that they are constantly evolving and developing who they will be as adults. <br />
<br />
Did you know that at the time of birth, the nervous system is still developing? And as the child grows the number of nerve fibers will increase dramatically? <br />
<br />
Those certain neurological developmental stages must be realized, because before it is all completed, the child’s nervous system will determine the best nerve pathways, and will naturally reduce the number of nerve fibers by half? This is why it is important that a child learns to crawl before it walks. If the child learned to walk first then developmental problems would occur as the nervous system would not recognize the nerve pathways used for crawling as important and would eliminate them. Truly a situation of “if you don’t use it, you will lose it!” Developmental balance must be the goal of parents and teachers in every aspect of a child’s life. <br />
<br />
Parents and teachers must help children remain balanced, and recognize the seven year, cyclical nature of childhood development. A discussion of the different cycles is beyond the scope of this writing. Many aspects of the Waldorf school educational philosophy are, in my opinion, superior to the prevalent educational philosophy which seems at times to over-stimulate the intellect of a child. A good reference tool for parents and educators is the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America and their biannual publication, “Renewal; Journal for Waldrof Education” (See references for further information) <br />
<br />
Children are many times viewed by their parents as a bother to adult agendas. Parents must take an active role in creating ways to bring balance to the lives of their children. A child with chronic Lyme has the greatest potential to almost spontaneously heal with the treatment protocol outlined in this book, when all conditions are brought to balance. <br />
<br />
Creativity, handwork crafts, focus, eye-hand coordination, intellect, morality, independent thinking, social development, imagination, intuitive thinking are but a few areas that with proper guidance can help establish the unique path each child must travel to reach a balanced adulthood. The hoops we force our children to jump through in our country’s educational system do little to develop these areas. <br />
<br />
Doctors have been documenting for about a hundred years that children who are driven to be over-achievers and who are over-stimulated mentally by the present educational methods become pale, pasty-faced, lackluster and easily fatigued. This clearly represents imbalance, when children raised and educated in a balanced manner are noticeably more full-blooded, with rosy-cheeks and full of healthy vitality. <br />
<br />
Educational stressors that cause imbalance are part of the problem. Parents would be well advised to look into Waldorf-style educational philosophy, even if it means home schooling when no good schools are in the area. <br />
(Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (www.awsna.org) 3911 Bannister Road, Fair Oaks, CA 95628-6805 call or write for information 916-961-0715 or for a subscription to their biannual journal: “Renewal; Journal for Waldrof Education”.) <br />
<br />
Parental emotional, verbal and physical abuse warps the developmental shields of a child, setting them up for physical illness such as chronic infectious diseases, as well as other aspects of human development, such as spiritual, moral, and psychological development. <br />
<br />
(Remember, just having the bacteria in your body does not mean a child or adult will come down with a disease from that bacteria. Stress can break down the child’s ability to stave off disease.) <br />
<br />
Whether directed toward the child or between others in the family unit, words can wound the body, mind, and spirit causing illness at each of these levels. In the same manner, loving words spoken from the heart can heal all levels. We have all heard and experienced the principle of “Actions speak louder than words”; keep this in mind and don’t simply speak the words, be sure your actions in the future do not belie the words, for the wounds in this case strike deeper. You may be the actual cause of your child’s illness. <br />
<br />
It is definitely all right to admit to your child that you were wrong in how you handled a situation, and ask forgiveness. This sets forth a standard for your children to follow throughout their entire life. <br />
<br />
Parents and teachers must practice and maintain balance in their own life in order to respond correctly to the children in their care. <br />
<br />
One more note concerning the sick child. Many cultures, though not as common in the United States, keep infants and young children in almost constant physical contact with the mother. <br />
<br />
In America it seems at times that we are duty bound from a social perspective to force our children to fight their illness alone. To be tough, self-reliant, and seen but not heard. I highly recommend that especially for the young children that they be held a lot and even sleep in the same bed with the mother, or at least in the same room. <br />
<br />
This provides the ultimate healing energy of love. It also provides a sharing of body energy and warmth. A child should never have to deal with illness alone in their room. This will not spoil the child. You just being their and holding them as they need it is often enough. <br />
<br />
Keep in mind; children may not be able to tell you what is stressing them out. They may be afraid of your response, or it may be that they put much of it on themselves, as in the case of the “perfectionist” child. It may also be that illness, household finances, school pressures, sibling rivalry, jealousy, or any number of things may be responsible. Your job as a parent is to provide a loving, nurturing home environment, as free from adult issues as is indicated for their age. <br />
<br />
Detecting a child with stress problems: <br />
<br />
One of the best ways of determining an overstressed person, child or adult, is to use a penlight and shine the light in one of their eyes. Observe the pupil, the black part of the eye; it should constrict, getting smaller. You see, the eye is like your 35mm camera; the aperture of the camera needs to be smaller in bright light so that the film is not over-exposed. The pupil of the eye works the same to keep too much light from entering the eye. <br />
<br />
The pupil should normally be able to hold a steady size opening. In a child or adult suffering from long-term stress, the pupil will not be able to hold a steady constriction and will begin to pulse wider and wider as the light is held to it. This test is testing the adrenal glands ability to cope with stress of any kind. The adrenal glands are your stress organs. They sit on top of each kidney. Chronic stress fatigues the adrenal glands ability to cope, resulting in an inability to deal correctly to even the light shined in the eyes. Really bad cases are seen when the pupils are almost always very large and will only constrict slightly with the penlight. These children are usually very bothered by direct sunlight or strong lights. <br />
<br />
Another method of finding out if a child is stressed is to shine a penlight in their eye from the side, illuminating their iris, the colored portion of the eye. This takes some patience, but what you are looking for are little rings on the surface of the iris that following the circular shape of the iris. These rings may be only in certain areas of the iris or in really bad cases you may see as many as five layers of rings, between the inner and outer edges of the iris. Any rings always indicate stress in the body, and are actually formed by cramps in the four layers that make up the iris. We should never see any rings in children! Their young lives should be carefree and nurtured. Of course, we should never see these rings in an adult iris either. <br />
<br />
Dealing with childhood stress: <br />
<br />
The following are designed to address the body, mind, and spirit of the child: <br />
<br />
· The above penlight tests reveal stress that has affected the adrenal glands and therefore the child’s ability to deal with stress correctly. The adrenal glands can be strengthened by taking half of a tablet in the morning, of DSF-Formula™, by NutraWest, Inc. DSF was specifically designed as a De-Stress-Formula. At times it is somewhat impossible to completely remove all of the stressors in life, but this product helps in how one reacts to that stress. <br />
<br />
· Diffusing essential oils in the house and in the child’s bedroom can have not only a calming effect, but a healing effect as well. Anything you can smell is a chemical in the air that you breathe into the body. When you breathe in essential oils, they bring with them some of the world’s strongest antioxidants and healing substances. You may remember how you used to feel when holiday potpourris set a festive mood in the house, or simply the smell of your favorite food being prepared. Some of our favorite oils for de-stressing are produced by Young Living Essential Oils, Inc.: Peace and Calming oil blend, Lavender oil, Harmony oil blend, Frankincense oil, Valor oil blend, ImmuPower oil blend, and Thieve’s oil blend. You will find your own favorites after trying a few, but let your child pick the oil for each day. These oils are usually well tolerated even by the chemically sensitive and asthmatic children. <br />
<br />
· The homeopathic remedy “Rescue Remedy” was specifically designed to remedy all forms of stress, especially the acute stressors like a death in the family, auto or other accidents, or any stress that threatens the integrity of the body, real, perceived, or otherwise. <br />
<br />
· Increase family and house organization. Children need some semblance of order even in the midst of their disorder. Consistency of house routines, chores, and expectations should be the rule. A disorderly and trash-out house breed stress and chaos, while a spotless house creates its own stress for children. There must be a flexible balance maintained in the household. <br />
<br />
· Read and teach on keeping a quiet mind, controlling your thinking and emotions. These principles are wonderful to teach your children. <br />
<br />
· Make the difficult decisions that will eliminate stress in your child’s life. This may be anything, moving to a better neighborhood; deciding to home-school; getting a different job that will allow you to be around more or one that will be less stressful for you and the family; change babysitters if you have a bad one, separate siblings into their own bedrooms or bring them together; whatever it takes to eliminate stress. <br />
<br />
· Change your priorities so that your family is the most important part of your life. Find ways to spend quality time with the child, drawing and coloring together, reading stories and books together, take art classes that you can take together, buy models and assemble them together, ride bikes together, purchase bird books or nature books and go for nature walks with them identifying birds and flowers together. You see, it really does matter that you DO it with them, consistently and often. <br />
<br />
· If you have not started the Nintendo-type games with your children, don’t even let it in the house. Children get lost in the “cool” worlds of these games and their real world cannot compete, leading them to discontentment and resentment towards you and the issues of the real world. It is training your child to live in their head only. <br />
<br />
· Increase physical contact in the way of hugs, rocking, massaging, and speaking in affirmation. Give positive affirmations concerning how strong their body is and how well it is healing.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877178699673210330.post-12672485104179487412010-01-12T08:15:00.000-08:002010-08-10T12:38:45.752-07:00Treating Post-Lyme Syndrome<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjdqoyymQGFPWMKLg_EMn5ml3Ew5tJ4elrQwUgCGbfAzt-iNHH_VwyS3vEVfOwRuItijuu7uCcIGzkNiHFL0QYTz8XG3ltAzGX-sq3QILn9a8cokwE6NqG4_pSRtxkpppS_qITg0xvvyo/s1600/natural+medicine+making.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" mx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjdqoyymQGFPWMKLg_EMn5ml3Ew5tJ4elrQwUgCGbfAzt-iNHH_VwyS3vEVfOwRuItijuu7uCcIGzkNiHFL0QYTz8XG3ltAzGX-sq3QILn9a8cokwE6NqG4_pSRtxkpppS_qITg0xvvyo/s200/natural+medicine+making.jpg" width="168" /></a>Post-Lyme Syndrome is a clinical condition where symptoms remain beyond the point where the bacteria can be detected.</div><br />
The damage to the body that was caused by the infections persists even though your doctor feels the medicines have killed all the bacteria.<br />
<br />
Post-Lyme Syndrome is the most obvious problem in the idea that antibiotics are the answer to Lyme disease. It is also the problem with taking natural supplements that are touted to kill the bacteria. Killing the bacteria and even doing extensive detoxification treatments does nothing to actually repair the damaged tissues that are the source of your symptoms.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Of course eliminating the damaging bacteria and toxins is necessary. However, very often the damaged tissues of the body cannot just go back to normal through the body’s natural healing mechanisms.<br />
<br />
Chronic Post-Lyme symptoms indicate that you have most likely dealt with the first phase of the healing process by resolving the infections. Now you must enter the second phase of healing…the repair, restore, and regenerative phase of healing.<br />
<br />
Lyme Disease is similar to another of history’s terrifying neurological infections, Polio, whose allopathic treatment left many to suffer with Post-Polio Syndrome. Both syndromes leave the people who have been declared “cured” in spite of slowly-progressing condition marked by short to long periods of stability.<br />
<br />
The severity of PLS depends on the degree of the weakness and disability an individual had leading up to the infection, as well as the residual weakness and disability left behind by the infection and allopathic treatments.<br />
<br />
People originally hit hard by Lyme Disease and treated with antibiotics often are left with severe residual physical, mental, and emotional problems, and they may develop more severe cases of PLS with the recurrence of many symptoms and more periods of profound fatigue.<br />
<br />
The prevalent thought seems to be that the human body is unintelligent and needs our help to fix its problems. The reality is that the world’s most astute and celebrated physicians cannot fix even the simplest paper cut, much less a serious illness like Lyme Disease. The human body is not dumb. The body needs the physician to see his role as a being a facilitator in the process of restoring the body’s optimal design so that homeostasis can be reestablished and true health can follow.<br />
<br />
The following is a list of what would normally need to be addressed in a Post-Lyme Syndrome in order to restore optimum health in a two to three week intensive restoration program of care.<br />
<br />
• Restore the structural integrity of the spine, pelvis, and musculo-skeletal aspects of the extremities.<br />
<br />
• Reset the visceral circuitry to 100% integrity to enable the restoration of muscle tone and strength and optimize the restorative and regenerative processes within each organ and gland.<br />
<br />
• Adjust all biochemistry, such as hormones, enzymes, amino-acids, neurotransmitters.<br />
<br />
• Eliminate food allergies and source-reduce toxins/allergens from personal care products.<br />
<br />
• Erase the cellular memory of trauma (physical, emotional, and chemical traumas) that were causing fascia restrictions and myofascial interferences.<br />
<br />
• Realign the liquid-crystalline matrix with NeuroPhotonic Therapy (NPT) thereby restoring ability of the body to properly move light through the body for intercellular communication and bioregulation of epigenetics.<br />
<br />
• Brainwave balancing addressed via NPT with Alpha, Theta, and Delta wave stimulation.<br />
<br />
• Counseling and emotional clearing techniques to relieve emotional interferences.<br />
<br />
• Correct bowel movement (peristalsis) by rebound activation of the Ilio-cecal valve and Valve of Houston.<br />
<br />
• Facilitate the body’s ability to control microbial (bacteria, virus, fungus, parasitic) overgrowth through bioinformatics applications of frequency-matched botanical and homeopathic remedies.<br />
<br />
• Detoxify microbial, exogenous, and metabolic waste, toxins, and neurotoxins.<br />
<br />
• Restore the skin’s ability to perspire and eliminate properly (the largest organ of elimination).<br />
<br />
• Clear miasmatic/inherited predispositions as well as drug-induced miasmatic problems.<br />
<br />
• Correct neurological disorganization between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.<br />
<br />
• Work to reset the thermostat of the body and improve core-temperature in order to restore sleep patterns, overall function, and increase sense of wellbeing.<br />
<br />
• Stimulate regenerative/strengthening impulses, as well as improved overall crystalline-matrix integrity with the LUX therapy.<br />
<br />
• Improve the lymphatic system’s ability to flow correctly<br />
<br />
• Balance the body’s electromagnetic and photonic fields around and permiating the body, which help to regulate and restore tissue function.<br />
<br />
• Provide the primary nutritional/homeopathic building blocks needed to address the primary regenerative processes of the body.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-877178699673210330.post-46718795737293517162009-11-18T09:18:00.000-08:002010-08-10T12:41:34.122-07:00Leaky Brain Syndrome<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobsdcWhvqeM4Y_7jhTfpQWXj5Ah7xObh0W7G1u7dkX04VCW_1L0tQtF0T-Zn1qlu8l7Q94hBFDCh03royyFUANYzS84I1uw4kDGzNblbSqOh92JOoQuFi_cKZ-69juMnl93GewFfyyZg/s1600/brain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" mx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobsdcWhvqeM4Y_7jhTfpQWXj5Ah7xObh0W7G1u7dkX04VCW_1L0tQtF0T-Zn1qlu8l7Q94hBFDCh03royyFUANYzS84I1uw4kDGzNblbSqOh92JOoQuFi_cKZ-69juMnl93GewFfyyZg/s200/brain.jpg" width="200" /></a>Although many people have heard of Leaky Bowel Syndrome, few have heard of Leaky Brain Syndrome.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>I coined this term when I became aware of the damaging effects on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) from the accumulation of ammonia in the brain. Ammonia in the brain is a primary cause of neurological and psychological hypersensitivity.<br />
<br />
Ammonia alters the permeability of the BBB, enabling larger molecules to cross, such as common amino-acids, causing cerebral allergies. Ammonia-induced Leaky Brain Syndrome is one of the primary causes of Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Cognitive dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and a myriad of other chronic conditions.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
There are only a few ways ammonia can become a problem in the brain. Severe liver disease is a well-recognized producer of global ammonia.<br />
<br />
However, I first became aware of brain-ammonia problems while treating a gentleman<br />
from England who came to me after being diagnosed with Lyme disease (Neuroborreliosis).<br />
<br />
Quite surprisingly, my testing revealed Trypanosoma gambiense as his primary microbial challenge. T. gambiense causes African Sleeping Sickness (ASS).<br />
<br />
Only after subsequent study did I find that the symptoms of ASS are caused by the neurotoxic effects of ammonia produced in the brain by the microbe.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the man said that for years he had told doctors that it felt like someone was pouring ammonia over his brain.<br />
<br />
The severe debilitation this man was experiencing reminded me of some of the symptoms of many of my Chronic Fatigue, MS, ALS, and Lyme patients.<br />
<br />
Subsequent testing revealed that all of these people had localized ammonia accumulations, primarily in the brain,heart, and liver, caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent in Lyme disease.<br />
It would<br />
seem that Bb releases ammonia, which is converted to glutamine, by way of the glutamine synthetase pathways, which lead to localized swelling of astrocytes.<br />
<br />
This ammonia-induced glutamine accumulation may cause dysfunction of astrocytes, leading to impairment of vascular reactivity of the BBB (Toshiki 2000).<br />
<br />
Depending upon the severity of infection and tissue environmental issues – including pH, temperature, oxygen levels, emotional state – the amount of ammonia could cause variable and cyclical worsening of symptoms.<br />
(It has already been reported that neurological problems are caused by either congenital or acquired hyperammonemia (Albrecht 1998)).<br />
<br />
All of the ammonia-related pathological changes predispose these individuals to cerebral allergies, due to alterations in the blood brain barrier, subsequently allowing larger molecules, such as common dietary amino acids,to pass through to the brain.<br />
<br />
Neurotransmitter receptors and function are impaired, and possibly the most common<br />
symptom surfaces – altered brain energy metabolism, leading to cognitive brain dysfunctions, the total fatigue of the mind when forced to read, talk, or think for extended periods......<br />

Kris B says:<br />
<br />
"I can't express enough how thankful I am for the Hansa Clinic. <br />
<br />
Dr. Jernigan and his staff are outstanding at what they do.<br />
<br />
I had chronic lyme for over 20 years and suffered excruciating pain and fatigue. <br />
<br />
I went all over the county to different lyme "specialists".<br />
<br />
I never got any better or sometimes I felt worse. <br />
<br />
Needless to say I was very skeptical to try anything new.<br />
<br />
I am so blessed because the first day at Hansa my pain basically disappeared. <br />
<br />
I really was shocked. I now feel like a whole new person. <br />
<br />
My fatigue has been reduced as well. <br />
<br />
This was the most wondeful life altering experience and my husband and I are so glad we made the decision to come here.<br />
<br />
Please know I spent years and years reading and searching for help with my illness. <br />
<br />
Hansa Clinic is the answer."<br />

The body is totally integrated and should perform like an orchestra, with every organ and tissue keeping rhythm with all the rest of the body. Taking a multi-vitamin/mineral, or even Borrelogen™ only addresses a part of what is required by your body to restore its ability to heal.</div><br />
If one organ becomes dysfunctional due to illness or trauma, it ceases to move with correct rhythm in relation to the three dimensional movement of the other organs. <br />
<a name='more'></a>When this happens, it throws off the natural rhythm of the entire body. Eventually no tissue is able to maintain the proper rhythm. It is inevitable that this chain reaction will occur progressively over time if left uncorrected. Proper rhythm is part of what is necessary to maintain the integrity of the communication throughout the entire human organism.<br />
<br />
While it is true that there is usually one offending issue that starts the whole chain-reaction, if left undiagnosed and untreated for very long, the problem will become complicated by the after-effects of the original cause. Weakened tissues lose their natural crystalline-matrix resistance to and control of things such as parasitic infection, toxin overload, dysregulated chemistry, and fungal and microbial infection.<br />
<br />
Let us use the example of Lyme Disease. A person gets bitten by an infected tick or mosquito and becomes infected with a few of the bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi. The few bacteria migrate through the tissues, making their way to the weakest tissues… muscles, joints, connective tissues, organs, the brain, and/or nerves.<br />
<br />
If the body is relatively healthy, there may be enough integrity within the body’s crystalline matrix to effectively keep the few bacteria from overpopulating, and therefore no illness may ever manifest as long as you maintain the integrity of the body, mind, and spirit.<br />
<br />
If the infection is not detected and treated correctly in order to enable the body to adapt, the body’s resistance remains weakened, and the few bacteria find the body a perfect breeding ground. The few become many, and the chain reaction begins. The bacterial toxins wreak havoc on your body. To let you know that there is something wrong, your body responds with a multitude of symptoms arising from those weakest areas.<br />
<br />
Like every organism, the Lyme bacteria live a certain life span and then die. This means that even without treatment, you will have a certain number of Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria dying off every few weeks. These dying bacteria end up causing problems since they release toxins upon dying (also known as the cause of a Jarish-Herxheimer reaction). These toxins lodge in the tissues of the body and cause a worsening of the symptoms you feel. Research has shown that there is no direct tissue damage from the spirochetes. The damage to tissues is primarily due to the spirochete toxins which increase the inflammatory and immune responses.<br />
Here is where the chain reaction begins to be most pronounced.<br />
<br />
To better understand the chain reaction, let us start with a hypothetical example. Suppose the toxins are primarily affecting the elasticity of your muscles. The muscles of your right leg become tight and cramp, with wandering pains. You begin to favor that leg, walking with a limp. You are not designed to walk in this manner, so structural integrity is compromised. Your body’s structural components are now exceeding their design limitations. The knee and hip joints begin to swell in response to the strain. The pelvis becomes unlevel, throwing the entire spine into fits as it attempts to compensate for the tilted pelvis. The pelvis and intervertebral discs of the spine become inflamed from the changes in weight distribution, which in turn irritate the spinal nerves. The spinal nerves are important in carrying the brain’s messages for helping to regulate every organ’s function. With the spinal nerve irritation comes radiating pains in different areas of the body, along with tingling, numbness, and loss of muscular control. The organs begin to reflect the spinal problems and cannot get a clear signal from the brain; therefore the chemistry and hormones become dysregulated. Any area of inflammation and weakness in the tissues, such as the spinal nerves, becomes susceptible to viral and bacterial infection. Some of the latest research by Dr. Gary Young, M.D., N.D., has demonstrated microbial infections in the majority of spinal nerve irritations, such as in sciatica, with the pain radiating from the lower back down the legs.<br />
<br />
Every organ is on its own dedicated electrical circuit with at least one set of muscles. When there is a problem anywhere in an organ circuit, it causes the entire circuit to become short-circuited. The damaged organ circuit will only work at about 40% of its normal electrical and functional capacity, though it may not show any changes on blood tests. Most Lyme sufferers can relate to this since most of the blood tests, of all types, reveal nothing of significance even though there are many symptoms.<br />
<br />
The “short-circuiting” is one of the body’s protective mechanisms. The body will “turn down” the available energy to a damaged area so that you cannot damage it further by exerting 100% energy into an area that needs to be repaired. It is like breaking a bone in the leg; upon breaking the bone, special nerve fibers in the muscles called muscle spindle fibers send a signal to the brain to shut down the muscles. In an instant, the brain shuts down the circuit containing those muscles. Otherwise, having 100% energy in the muscles might allow them to break the bone further.<br />
<br />
Decreased energy in one circuit disrupts the rhythm of the other organs, which, over time respond one by one, going into compensation mode, where they attempt to “take up the slack” for the dysfunctional organ circuit; eventually they too manifest complete dysfunction.<br />
<br />
By now, you are suffering from profound and chronic fatigue as all the muscles of the body are only able to function at 40% of their intended output and you hurt all over. You have tender spots in the muscles. Your joints take turns aching and hurting. Your brain won’t seem to work right because the bacterial toxins cause the blood-brain barrier to become “leaky,” allowing large proteins to cross the barrier and cause cerebral allergies and localized swelling, and as a result you can’t seem to sleep even though you are completely worn out all day long. It seems like nothing in your body is working correctly. You go to the doctor, who may not believe that Lyme is a problem in your state, but who runs other tests, which are “inconclusive.” And the Lyme Disease goes on. Electrical Circuitry of the body will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 7.<br />
<br />
Finally, you have found a doctor who determines you have Lyme Disease. “Not a problem,” he may say. “Just take this antibiotic, and you should be better in six weeks".” At the end of six weeks he proclaims you cured. The problems are just starting; even if you were one of the lucky ones who felt better while on the antibiotics, once the antibiotics are discontinued your symptoms return. Another more common response is that even during the six weeks of antibiotics you don’t feel any better or you feel worse, or at the minimum you feel like you are still not well.<br />
<br />
Did the doctor address everything? Does the doctor even have the tools and knowledge necessary to address the structural, chemical, stress-issues, and electromagnetic problems? Usually he has only attempted to addressed the infection. The structural imbalances that have now been there for months or years, and no pill will address them adequately. Even if he recommends vitamins, it is often not enough. How about the organ circuits which didn’t magically come back online after the antibiotics? Did he address the opportunistic parasites, yeast, and viruses that found a home in your body while your resistance was down? How about the toxins stored in the tissues?<br />
<br />
Friends, can you begin to see how difficult it can be to achieve total wellness after a long fight with something terrible such as Lyme Disease? If your doctor is simply giving you antibiotics with the hope that everything will go back to normal as soon as the bacteria is gone, then you need to find a new doctor, one who will cover all the other areas needing healing -- even if you must go outside of your PPO, HMO, or health insurance company. If your auto insurance won’t pay to get your transmission fixed when it breaks down, you would find a way to pay to have it fixed because your car and getting around is a priority to you. Where is your priority regarding your body? You must do whatever it takes to get it fixed.<br />
Addressing the totality of the human body is impossible without a technique like Bio-Resonance Scanning™ or other like electro-dermal screening, Voll-testing, Computerized Regulation Thermography (CRT), or Neural Therapy. All of these techniques have been developed by scientists and doctors in order to eliminate much of the educated guesswork, or “cookbook,” doctoring that has dominated the last hundred and fifty years. Without these techniques, doctors are just guessing at what is needed and hoping you won’t be allergic to the medicines, as well as hoping the combination of medicines won’t conflict or create adverse effects in the body.<br />
<br />
Using natural methods to help facilitate the body’s ability to bring down the population of the bacteria in Lyme Disease can many times be just part of the fight. You now must restore the integrity of every tissue of your body. This restoring of integrity is sometimes called restoring coherence. Coherence exists when every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit is able to communicate freely and adapt correctly to changes in the internal and external environment. This takes time. A general rule of thumb in chronic illness is to expect three months of corrective lifestyle/treatments for every year you have had the problem. This doesn’t mean that you won’t feel better sooner. It simply means that feeling good and being healthy are two different things. When most people are initially diagnosed with cancer or heart disease, they say they have “never felt better” and the doctor just found the problem in a routine examination. So, be patient with the body.<br />
Beating chronic Lyme Disease is much more than killing bacteria. Your body will naturally control the population of spirochetes if coherence is restored. Beating Lyme Disease requires your complete attention and cooperation. You cannot simply take the medicines and hope for the best.<br />
<br />
Keep a journal so you can see improvement over long periods of time. Rejoice in small triumphs. Control your thinking -- don’t allow yourself to become depressed. Do not talk about the various symptoms, talk about the things that are better. See yourself half-well instead of half-sick. Cooperate with the different doctors and therapists who are trying to help you. Don’t be lazy in your mind; rejoice and actively participate in the healing of your body. You cannot afford to just take the pills and live a dark, dismal life, waiting for the pills to work. Change your routines. Strive to be vital in rebuilding your body. You are not a victim; you are simply living life like everyone else.All have problems to deal with. You cannot afford to allow yourself to “become an illness;” this just leads to a rapid decline. The illness is not who you are. Become one with God and one with yourself, not one with the illness. Get outside in the sunshine and close to nature, and simplify life so that your priorities are correct. The decisions you make today will determine your tomorrow. Above all, control your thinking --it’s the one thing you have total control over. It’s your free-will choice to accept or reject the illusions and lies that come to your mind. More information concerning the actual how-to as well as the science behind consciously and purposely creating a new reality of health and prosperity can be read in my companion to this book, <a href="http://www.hansacenter.com/books.php">Everyday Miracles by God’s Design. </a><br />
<br />
You can reclaim your quality of life, and the journey with a worthy destination is the prize.<br />

Yet another confirmation of the prevalence of what is now recognized as the most rapidly spreading infectious disease. The following will bring you up to speed on this illness that is being confirmed in well over 200,000 Americans every year.<br />
<br />
The new “Great Imitator,” Lyme Disease, is increasingly being confirmed in cases of misdiagnosed chronic illnesses.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
It is said to be the “great imitator” because its symptoms are so diverse that it can mimic 200 illnesses. This fact, and the fact that there have been no good laboratory tests available to positively confirm Lyme Disease, has led to the polarization of the medical and scientific community on the topic of Lyme. (<a href="http://www.hansacenter.com/pdfs/LymeDiseaseSymptomsChecklist.pdf">list of potential symptoms).</a><br />
<br />
In the United States, what ultimately came to be known as Lyme Disease started in the city of Lyme, Connecticut, in early 1975 with an epidemic of “juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.” By 1982, Dr. William Burgdorfer, M.D., identified the cause of an illness sweeping the area as a spiral-shaped bacterium (spirochete), ultimately named Borrelia burgdorferi.<br />
<br />
Of course, this type of bacteria has been with us throughout history. Historical records document what is now called Lyme Disease as far back as 1882 in Europe. The classic presentation was a tick bite and bulls-eye rash with joint pain and neurological symptoms.<br />
<br />
For years, it was thought to be confined to a few northeastern states, but as time passed it became apparent that surrounding states were also reporting the infection at an alarming rate.<br />
<br />
Research now confirms that Lyme disease is rampant throughout much of the United States and Europe.<br />
<br />
In the 2008 movie, Under Our Skin; The Untold Story of Lyme, by Open Eye Pictures, Inc. and important quote stands out, “The Centers for Disease Control admits that more than 200,000 people may acquire Lyme disease each year, a number greater than AIDS, West Nile Virus, and Avian Flu combined.”<br />
<br />
Many people with confirmed infection never remember being bitten by a tick. Some of my patients have told me that they have never personally even seen a tick in their life.<br />
<br />
It was once thought that one must have the bulls-eye rash in order to have Lyme Disease, but it is now known that only about 30% of individuals bitten by a Lyme-infected tick even develop a bulls-eye rash, so having no rash does not rule out Lyme Disease.<br />
<br />
It is well recognized that people suffering from Lyme Disease may also have other infections going on at the same time, such as Babesia microti, Ehrlichiosis, viruses (EBV, CMV, and HHV-6), and Candidiasis.<br />
<br />
To make matters worse, we are now realizing that mycoplasmal infections can be detected in the blood of 60-70% of all LD/CFS/FMS sufferers.<br />
Lyme spirochetes may lay dormant for weeks or years after initial infection. This dormancy is due to the fact that no bacteria or virus can replicate (reproduce) at will in a healthy body.<br />
<br />
This will be discussed in detail later. For now, understand that the Lyme spirochetes may lay dormant in a healthy body until the individual experiences a stress on the body that weakens the body’s control mechanisms, thereby allowing the spirochetes to replicate and spread out of control.<br />
<br />
Deer are considered one of the primary carriers of Lyme bacteria, but in fact no animal has been found immune to infection. Even dogs, cats, and farm animals have often been found infected with Lyme Disease. It is this author’s belief that a large percentage of all domesticated livestock are already infected.<br />
<br />
The fact that Lyme spirochetes have been cultured from virtually every body fluid in cows, including whole blood, colostrum and fresh milk, with no conferred immunity, makes one question the safety of such products.<br />
<br />
A report of research conducted with the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin, stated, “Because spirochetes (Borrelia burgdorferi) could be isolated from blood, synovial fluid, colostrum, and urine, these animals (cows and horses) could be important in providing an infected blood meal for ticks and bringing B. burgdorferi in direct contact with humans.”<br />
<br />
Being a vegetarian never sounded so good! At the very least not eating undercooked meat seems prudent.<br />
<br />
The nice thing about the correct diagnosis of Lyme disease is that it is treatable, with a hope of permanent recovery through natural methods.<br />

These viruses can<br />turn basically harmless bacterium into killers<br />through this genetic sequencing of toxins by<br />causing the bacteria to produce greater<br />amounts of neurotoxins (nervous system<br />poisons).<br /><br />· The allopathic philosophy of medicine<br />(antibiotics, etc.) often predisposes one to<br />Post-Lyme Syndrome (PLS).<br /><br />· After prolonged illness a person would not<br />likely be symptom-free or truly healthy even<br />if it were possible to kill every spirochete,<br />because restoring health requires more than<br />killing the bacteria.<br /><br />· It is possible to have Lyme spirochetes and<br />yet never manifest any symptoms.<br /><br />· The unique symptoms experienced by an<br />individual are from the microbes revealing a<br />person’s weakest, and therefore most<br />vulnerable, areas in the body.<br /><br />· High-powered microscopes have revealed<br />that our bodies are a soup of innumerable<br />and greatly unrecognized microbes. There<br />are 20 times more microbes than cells in your<br />body. Another way of saying this is that 90%<br />of the cells in your body are microbes.<br /><br />· A Herxheimer reaction (herx) is a sign of a<br />poor treatment plan and is unnecessary. A<br />herx greatly increases the toxic load on the<br />body; at its worst it can kill an illnessweakened<br />patient outright. A herx can<br />temporarily or permanently disable the body,<br />mind, and spirit.<br /><br />· The sustained restoration of the optimal<br />function and integrity of the body, mind, and<br />spirit will naturally resolve any infection.<br /><br />· No microbe can replicate at will or<br />unchecked in a healthy body.<br /><br />· A component in your blood called albumin is<br />six times stronger than penicillin as a<br />bacteriostatic (preventing microbial<br />replication).<br /><br />· Until the patient’s body can maintain<br />microbial balance without the help of<br />medications, the patient will never reach the<br />point of not needing the medications.<br /><br />· Some of the best research facility laboratories<br />report that they have rarely found any<br />person’s blood to be completely clear of<br />spirochetes, even after every type of longterm<br />natural or pharmaceutical intervention.<br /><br />· Tick bites are not the only way to get Lyme<br />Disease.<br /><br />· Less than half the people diagnosed with<br />Lyme Disease ever have a bulls-eye rash.<br /><br /><br />© 2008 Dr. David A.
