What are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are substances attracted to the mammalian nervous system. They are absorbed by nerve endings and travel inside the neuron to the cell body. On their way they disrupt vital functions of the nerve cell, such as axonal transport of nutrients, mitochondrial respiration and proper DNA transcription. The body is constantly trying to eliminate neurotoxins via the available exit routes: the liver, kidney, skin and exhaled air. Detox mechanisms include acetylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, oxidation and others. Often the host is triggered to produce neurotoxins (which are damaging to their own tissues) by the invading microbes through molecular trickery.
The liver is most important in the toxion elimination process. Here most elimination products are expelled with the bile into the small intestine and should leave the body via the digestive tract. However, because of the lipophilic/neurotropic nature of the neurotoxins, most are reabsorbed by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the intestinal wall. The ENS has more neurons than the spinal chord.

From the moment of mucosal uptake the toxins can potentially take four different paths:

1.Neuronal uptake and via axonal transport to the spinal chord (sympathetic neurons) or brainstem (parasympathetics) from here back to the brain.
2. Venous uptake and via the portal vein back to the liver
3. Lymphatic uptake and via the thoracic duct to the subclavian vein
4. Uptake by bowel bacteria and tissues of the intestinal tract.

Here is an incomplete list of common neurotoxins in order of importance:

(i) Heavy metals: such as mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum.
(ii) Biotoxins: such as tetanus toxin, botulinum toxin (botox), ascaridin (from intestinal parasites), unspecified toxins from streptococci, staphylococci, lyme disease, clamydia, tuberculosis, fungal toxins and toxins produced by viruses. Biotoxins are minute molecules (200-1000 kilodaltons) containing nitrogen and sulfur. They belong to a group of chemical messengers which microorganisms use to control the host’s immune system, host behavior and the host’s eating habits.
(iii) Xenobiotics (man-made environmental toxins): such as dioxin, phthalates, formaldehyde, insecticides, wood preservatives, PCBs etc.
(iv) Food Preservatives, excitotoxins and cosmetics: such as aspartame (diet sweeteners) food colorings, fluoride, methyl-and propyl-paraben, etc.
I have found that mercury in its different chemical forms has a synergistic amplifying effect with all other neurotoxins. When mercury is removed, the body starts to more effectively eliminate all other neurotoxins, even if they are not addressed.

What are the symptoms?

Any illness can be caused by, or contributed to, or exaggerated by neurotoxins. Fatigue, depression, insomnia, memory loss and blunting of the senses are common early symptoms (see list of mercury related symptoms on the following pages).

How is the diagnosis established?

1. History of Exposure: (Did you ever have any amalgam fillings? A tick bite? etc)
2. Symptoms: (How is your short term memory? Do you have areas of numbness, strange sensations, etc?)
3. Laboratory Testing: (Metals: hair, stool, serum, whole blood, urine analysis,xenobiotics: fatty tissue biopsy, urine. Mold: Immunosciences mold panel)
4. Autonomic Response Testing: (Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt M.D., Ph.D.)
5. BioEnergetic Testing (EAV, kinesiology etc.)
6. Response to Therapeutic Trial
7. Functional Acuity Contrast Test (measure of Retinal Blood Flow)

TREATMENT

Why would we want to treat anyone at all? Is it really needed? Can the body not eliminate these toxins naturally on its own?
Here is a short list of independent risk factors which can either cause accumulation of metals in an otherwise healthy body - or slow down, or inhibit the body’s own elimination processes.

genetics
occupational exposure to toxic material
prior illnesses
surgical operations
medication or ´recreational´ drug use
emotional trauma, especially in early childhood
social status
high carbohydrate intake combined with protein malnutrition (especially in vegetarians)
use of homeopathic mercury
food allergies
the patients electromagnetic environment (mobile phone use, home close to power lines etc)
constipation
compromise of head/neck lymphatic drainage (sinusitis, tonsil ectomy scars, poor dental occusion)
number of dental amalgam fillings over the patients life-time, number of the patients mothers amalgam fillings

We will discuss here only those elimination agents, which are natural, safe and have also been shown to be as effective (or more effective) than the few available pharmaceuticals. Because these products cannot be patented and exploited for unethical personal gain, little attention has been given to them by European or North American medical researchers.

Many of the best scientific studies on this topic are from Asian countries.

The Basic Program:

1. High protein, mineral, fatty acid and fluid intake

Proteins provide the important precursors to the endogenous metal detox and shuttle agents, such as coeruloplasmin, metallothioneine, glutathione and others. The branched-chain amino acids in cow and goat whey have valuable independent detox effects.
Metals attach themselves only in places that are programmed for attachment of metal ions. Mineral deficiency provides the opportunity for toxic metals to attach themselves to vacant binding sites. A healthy mineral base is a prerequisite for all metal detox attempts (selenium, zinc, manganese, germanium, molybdenum etc). Substituting minerals can detoxify the body
by itself. Just as important are electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium), which help to transport toxic waste across the extracellular space towards the lymphatic and venous vessels.
Lipids (made from fatty acids) make up 60-80 % of the central nervous system and need to be constantly replenished. Deficiency makes the nervous system vulnerable to the fat soluble metals, such as metallic mercury constantly escaping as odorless and invisible vapor evaporating from the amalgam fillings.
Without enough fluid intake the kidneys may become contaminated with metals. The basal membranes swell up and the kidneys can no longer efficiently filtrate toxins. Adding a balanced electrolyte solution in small amounts to water helps to restore intra-and extracellular fluid balance.

2. Cilantro (Chinese parsley)
This kitchen herb is capable of mobilizing mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminum in both bones and the central nervous system.
(Removal and Preconcentration of inorganic and methyl mercury from aequeous media using a sorbent prepared from the plant Coriandrum Sativum”, J of Hazardous Materials B 118(2005) pp 133-139 D Karunasagar et al).

BioPure cilantro uses a special seed from Brazil that is grown under conditions and in soil that enhances its detox power. It is probably the only effective agent in mobilizing mercury stored in the intracellular space (attached to mitochondria, tubulin, liposomes etc) and in the nucleus of the cell (reversing DNA damage of mercury).
Because cilantro mobilizes more toxins then it can carry out of the body, it may flood the connective tissue (where the nerves reside) with metals that were previously stored in safer hiding places. This process is called re-toxification. Itcan easily be avoided by simultaneously giving an intestinal toxin-absorbing agent. Our definite choice is the algal organism chlorella. A recent animal study demonstrated rapid removal of aluminum from the skeleton superior to any
known other detox agent (Intnl J Acup and Electro-Therapeutics Res, 2003).
Dosage and application of BioPure cilantro tincture: give 10 drops in hot waterat bedtime (during the vagus-dominant sleep phase many detox functions are most active) or 30 minutes after taking chlorella. Cilantro causes the gallbladder to dump bile - containing the excreted neurotoxins - into the small intestine. The bile-release occurs naturally as we are eating and is much enhanced by cilantro. If no chlorella is taken, most neurotoxins are reabsorbed on the way down the small intestine by the abundant nerve endings of the enteric nervous system).
Gradually increase dose to 10 drops 3 times/day for full benefit. During the initial phase of the detox cilantro should be given 5 days on, 2 days off. Works most effectively when combined with Toxaway microcurrent foot bath.

Other ways of taking cilantro:

Rub 5 drops twice/day into ankles for mobilization of metals in all organs, joints and structures below the diaphragm, and into the wrists for organs, joints and structures above the diaphragm. The wrists have dense autonomic innervation (axonal uptake of cilantro) and are crossed by the main lymphatic channels (lymphatic uptake).
Good for headaches and other acute symptoms (joint pains, angina, headache): rub 10 -15 drops into painful area. Often achieves almost instant pain relief.

3. Chlorella:
Both C.pyreneidosa (better absorption of toxins, but harder to digest) and C.vulgaris (higher CGF content) see below, easier to digest, less metal absorbing capability) are available. A peer-review literature list is available from BioPure. Be aware that there are huge differences in quality. We only recommend BioPure Chlorella.
Chlorella has multiple published health inducing effects: Antiviral (especially effective against the cytomegaly virus from the herpes family)
Toxin binding (mucopolysaccharide membrane) all known toxic metals, environmental toxins such as dioxin and others.
Repairs and activates the body’s detoxification functions.
• Dramatically increases intra-cellular reduced glutathion.
• Sporopollein is as effective as cholestyramin in binding neurotoxins and more effective in binding toxic metals then any other natural substance found.
• Various peptides restore coeruloplasmin and metallothioneine.
• Lipids (12.4 %) alpha-and gamma-linoleic acid help to balance the increased intake of fish oil during our detox program and are necessary for a multitude of functions, including formation of there peroxisomes.
• Methyl-coblolamine is food for the nervous system, restores damaged neurons and has its own detoxifying effect.
• Chlorella growth factor helps the body detoxify itself in a yet not understood profound way. It appears that over millions of years chlorella has developed specific detoxifying proteins and peptides for every existing toxic metal.
• The porphyrins in chlorophyll have their own strong metal binding effect. Chlorophyll also activates the PPAR-receptor on the nucleus of the cell which is responsible for the transcription of DNA and coding the formation of the peroxisomes (see fish oil), opening of the cell wall (unknown mechanism) which is necessary for all detox procedures, normalizes insulin
resistance and much more. Medical drugs that activate the PPAR receptor (such as pioglitazone) have been effective in the treatment of breast and prostate cancer.
• Super nutrient: 50-60% amino acid content, ideal nutrient for vegetarians, methylcobolamin - the most easily absorbed and utilized form of B12, B6, minerals, chlorophyll, beta carotene etc.
• Immune system strengthening
• Restores bowel flora
• Digestive aid (bulking agent)
• Alkalinizing agent (important for patients with malignancies) Dosage: start with 1 gram (=4 tablets) 3-4 times/day. This is the standard maintenance dosage for grown ups for the 6-24 months of active detox. During the more active phase of the detox (every 2-4 weeks for 1 week), whenever cilantro is given, the dose can be increased to 3 grams 3-4 times per day (1 week on, 2-4 weeks back down to the maintenance dosage). Take 30 minutes before
the main meals and at bedtime. This way chlorella is exactly in that portion of the small intestine where the bile squirts into the gut at the beginning of the meal, carrying with it toxic metals and other toxic waste. These are bound by the chlorella cell wall and carried out via the digestive tract.
When amalgam fillings are removed, the higher dose should be given for 2 days before and 2-5 days after the procedure (the more fillings are removed, the longer the higher dose should be given). No cilantro should be given around the time of dental work. During this time we do not want to mobilize deeply stored metals in addition to the expected new exposure. If you take Vitamin C during your detox program, take it as far away from Chlorella as possible (after meals).
Side effects: most side effects reflect the toxic effect of the mobilized metals which are shuttled through the organism. This problem is instantly avoided by significantly increasing the chlorella dosage, not by reducing it, which would worsen the problem (small chlorella doses mobilize more metals then are bound in the gut, large chlorella doses bind more toxins then are mobilized). Somepeople have problems digesting the cell membrane of chlorella. The enzyme
cellulase resolves this problem. Cellulase is available in many health food stores in digestive enzyme products. Taking chlorella together with food also helps in some cases, even though it is less effective that way. C.vulgaris has a thinner cell wall and is better tolerated by people with digestive problems. Some manufactures have created cell wall free chlorella extracts (NDF, PCA) which are very expensive, less effective - but easily absorbed.

Chlorella growth factor (CGF)
This is a heat extract from chlorella that concentrates certain peptides, proteins and other ingredients. The research on CGF shows that children develop no
tooth decay and their dentition (maxillary-facial development) is near perfect. There are less illnesses and children grow earlier to a larger size with higher I.Q and are socially more skilled. There are case reports of patients with dramatictumor remissions after taking CGF in higher amounts. In our experience, CGFmakes the detox experience for the patient much easier, shorter and more effective.
Recommended dosage: 1 cap. CGF for each 20 tablets chlorella.

4. Garlic (allium sativum) and wild garlic (allium ursinum)
Garlic has been shown to protect the white and red blood cells from oxidative damage, caused by metals in the blood stream - on their way out – and also has its own valid detoxification functions. Garlic contains numerous sulphur components, including the most valuable sulph-hydryl groups which oxidize
mercury, cadmium and lead and make these metals water soluble. This makes it easy for the organism to excrete these substances. Garlic also contains alliin which is enzymatically transformed into allicin, nature’s most potent antimicrobial agent.
Metal toxic patients almost always suffer from secondary infections, which are often responsible for part of the symptoms. Garlic also contains the most important mineral which protects from mercury toxicity, bio active selenium. Most selenium products are poorly absorbable and do not reach those body compartments in need for it. Garlic selenium is the most beneficial natural bioavailable source. Garlic is also protectice for against heart disease and
cancer. The half life of allicin (after crushing garlic) is less then 14 days. Most commercial garlic products have no allicin releasing potential left. This distinguishes freeze dried garlic from all other products. Bear garlic tincture is excellent for use in detox, but less effective as antimicrobial agent.
Dosage: 1-3 capsules freeze dried garlic after each meal. Start with 1 capsule after the main meal per day, slowly increase to the higher dosage. Initially the patient may experience die-off reactions (from killing pathogenic fungal orbacterial organisms). Use 5-10 drops bear-garlic on food at least 3 times per day.

5. Fish oil:
The fatty acid complexes EPA and DHA in fish oil make the red and white blood cells more flexible thus improving the microcirculation of the brain, heart and other tissues. All detoxification functions depend on optimal oxygen delivery and blood flow. EPA and DHA protect the brain from viral infectionsand are needed for the development of intelligence and eye-sight. The most vital cell organelle for detoxification is the peroxisome. These small structures are
also responsible for the specific job each cell has: in the pineal gland themelatonin is produced in the peroxisome, in the neurons dopamine and norepinephrine, etc. It is here, where mercury and other toxic metal attach and is able the cell from doing its work.
Other researchers have focused on the mitochondria and other cell organelles, which in our experience are damaged much later. The cell is constantly trying to make new peroxisomes to replace the damaged ones– for that task it needs an abundance of fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA. Until recently it was believed, that the body can manufacture its own EPA/DHA from other Omega 3 fatty acids such as fish oil. Today we know that this process is slow and cannot
keep up with the enormous demand for EPA/DHA our systems have in today’s toxic environment. Fish oil is now considered an essential nutrient, even for vegetarians. Recent research also revealed that the transformation humans underwent when apes became intelligent and turned into humans happened only in coastal regions, where the apes started to consume large amounts of fish. Why not benefit from that knowledge and consume more fish oil?
The fatty acids in fish oil are very sensitive to exposure to electromagnetic fields, temperature, light and various aspects of handling and processing. Trans fatty acids, long chain fatty acids, renegade fats and other oxidation products and contaminants are frequently found in most commercial products. Ideally, fish oil should be kept in an uninterrupted cooling chain until it ends up in the patient’s fridge. The fish-source should be mercury and contaminant free, which
is becoming harder and harder. Fish oil should taste slightly fishy but not toomuch. If there is no fish taste, too much processing and manipulation has destroyed the vitality of the oil. If it tastes too fishy, oxidation products are present. I recommend to use the product recommended below (grade I), where meticulous care has been taken to comply with all the necessary parameters. The clinical results are outstanding.
Dosage: 1 capsule Omega 3 taken 4 times/day during the active phase of treatment, 1 caps. twice/day for maintenance. Best if taken together with chlorella.
The VegiPearls contain half the amount of EPA/DHA. The vegetarian capsules eliminate even the most remote possibility of containing prions and make the idea of taking fish oil more easily acceptable for vegetarians. Recently a fattyacid receptor has been discovered on the tongue, joining the other more known taste receptors. If the capsules are chewed, the stomach and pancreas start to prepare the digestive tract in exactly the right way to prepare for maximum absorption. Children love chewing the VegiPearls.
To treat bipolar depression, post partum depression and other forms of mental disease, 2000 mg of EPA are needed/day (David Horrobin). For the modulation of malignancies, 120 mg of EPA 4 times/day are needed. The calculations can easily be done with the information given on the label.
Matrix Electrolytes (ME)
The autonomic nervous system in most toxic patients is dysfunctional. Electric messages in the organism are not received, are misunderstood or misinterpreted. Toxins cannot be shuttled through the extracellular space. Increased intake of natural ocean salt (celtic sea salt) – and avoidance of regular table salt - has been found to be very effective in resolving some of these problems. Most effective is a solution pioneered by the American chemist Ketkovsky. He created theformula for the most effective electrolyte replacement, which was further
improved by our research team and is available under the name “Matrix Electrolyte”. I recommend this to all my patients and have observed, that every aspect of the detoxification process seems to be enhanced. Dramatically enhances the absorbtion and clinical effectiveness of herbs when given together with ME.
Five percent of the population is sodium or chloride sensitive – the blood pressure goes up (easily reversible). In these patients the detox process takes longer and is more difficult.
Dosage: 1 tsp in a cup of good water 1-3 times/day
Gradually increase the dosage to 1 tbsp 3 times/day

Additional Options:
Toxaway microcurrent foot bath:
This Australian invention has been greatly improved by Swiss engineers. Toxins are excreted via the plantar skin and lymphatics. The frequencies also stimulate via the ANS both liver and kidneys in their respective detox activity. Yetunpublished German research shows a dramatic toxin elimination effect when combined with oral cilantro.

Phospholipid Exchange:
Soy derived phospholipids, magnesium, alpha-lipoic acid and Na-EDTA. This magical mix encourages the “reverse cholesterol transport” (taking deposits out of endothelium), has a strong anti-microbial effect and detoxes neurotoxins including mercury in the cell wall and probably inside the cell as well. Long term results are dramatic especially in the treatment of Lyme related heart problems and in treating disturbed microcirculation of the frontal lobe of the
brain. Phospholipids have a profound synergistic effect with herbs, facilitating their absorption and distribution into the matrix and beyond. Mucuna powder: used since ancient days in India. Powerful antimicrobial and to restore depleted neurotransmitter levels in the chronic Lyme patient. 1-6 tsp/day
Chloralyte –osmotically broken cell wall chlorella: highly bioactive, releases sporopollein (which is damaged in most other chlorella preparations)
Garlic Tincture – for topical use and treatment of oral mucosa/periodontal disease
Rechts Regulat: potent enzyme-rich fermented drink from Germany that has been shown to break up abnormal proteins in blood and matrix. Fibrinolytic. Can also be sprayed on skin for healing of psoriasis and other illnesses.
Oxo: plant root derived compound that was used as Malaria treatment in the past. Very effective for Babesia
Matrix Microbes: 83 beneficial bactertia and fungi. Great for short term use as bowel probiotic. Cleanes open wounds in a few days (use in ulcerating breast cancer, open pulp during dental intervention, bed-sores). Used to spray the home with dilution to change microbial environment. Great for flu prevention. Use for skin ailments, including hair loss.
NDF/HMD/PCA are expensive combinations of enzymatically broken up chlorella and cilantro
More aggressive approaches, such as i.v. Glutathione, Vit.C, DMPS, CaEDTA
and others have a place in reasonably healthy people but often worsen the
condition in patients with advanced illness.
Most valuable is the addition of psychotherapeutic interventions such as applied psycho neurobiology (APN) and mental field therapy (MFT) to trigger the release of toxins from their hiding places. Chlorella, cilantro, garlic-products and fatty acids vary greatly in quality and nutrient content, also in content of contaminants. A few specifics on neurotoxins and other ways our human system is tricked into becoming a comfortable host.

Lyme Borreliosis

It appears that Lyme spirochetes are highly intelligent and have learned to live with us and manipulate our system to their advantage. Our health becomes compromised, but only rarely severely. This is when we make the diagnosis “Lyme Disease”. Bb is inducing the host to make his/her own
neurotoxins, which disable the host to a degree but are however essential and necessary for the survival of Bb. Most other infectious microbes make their own
neurotoxins and immunotoxins. This adaptation of Bb points towards the fact that Bb or close relatives have been with us for a long time (10s of thousands of years).

1. Quinolinic acid (Quin): potent neurotoxin. Spirochetes induce microglia of brain (4% of brain mass) to convert tryptophane into this compound. Elevated in chronic Neuroborreliosis in CSF. In brain tissue 10 times increased over CNS level. Potent synergistic effect with ROS (Lyme
spirochetes are potent ROS inducers. ROS are used by macrophags andother white cells to kill spirochetes).

Quin-effects:

• interference with neurotransmitter production
• damage to synaptic connections
• brain atrophy/cerebral volume loss
• neuronal death

Treatment:

o chlorella and CGF in high doses (BioPure)
o Cilantro and Detox foot bath (Toxaway system)
o Mucuna Powder (BioPure)
o zinc: prevents hippocampal damage from QUIN
o copper (at low doses) reduces strital GABA depletion and blocks oxidative injury to neurons use combination 30 mg zinc picolinate with 2 mg copper
o Resveratrol from Japanese Knotweed (Source Naturals, 500 mg whole herb/capsule. Use 3-4 caps 3-4 times/day)
o Phospholipid Exchange (BioPure): EDTA, alpha lipoic acid prevent ROS damage, Phospholipids repair toxic injury and work as a shuttle agent to bring other toxin binding substances to deep tissue places. 1 tbsp/day
o KMT microcurrent therapy
o Lymphatic drainage and colon hydrotherapy

2. Gossypol: anti-androgenic substance (Buhner, pg 131) effect:

• low testosterone levels
• fatigue and low sex drive
• immune system fatigue
• adrenal fatigue

Treatment:

o use testosterone transdermal cream for several months, until Lyme tx sufficiently progressed.
o Pregnenolone, DHEA have disappointed in Lyme
o Ashwagandha (ayurvedic herb): increases testosterone levels in both men and women. Repairs adrenal/ovarian/testicular damage(adaptogen)
o Smilax (sarsaparilla): 500 mg caps : 1-3 caps t.i.d.
o Moderate exercise as soon as possible
3. Lyme spirochets have up to 12 linear and 12 circular plasmids
(extrachromosomal DNA) which are activated by environmental cues

Treatment:

o Reduce stress in life, simplify
o Change the clients inner and outer environment!
o moderate, not excessive exercise
o beware of high protein diets (good with chronic mold, often poor results with Lyme)
o lean towards raw foods in diet
o avoid food allergens
o avoid bad energy consuming relationships
o do what you love to do
4. upregulation of virulence factors

• connective tissue penetration

􀂾 example: adhesins ( decorin binding proteins) .Decorin is part of the collagen type III maintainance system. By binding it in the initial phase of the Lyme infection colonization in collagen and tissue penetration is facilitated. Makes it impossible for immunsystem to recognize camouflaged spirochetes.
􀂾 upregulation of plasminogen binding factors as well as its activator,urokinase. Spirochets ride piggyback on plasminogen (which inactivated fibrin during initial phase of infection). Outcome:spirochets move faster through connective tissue then through blood. Spirochetes love connective tissue which explains their 5 favorite tissues to set up their housekeeping:
􀂾 ligaments and joints (asymmetric affliction of large jopints, especially hip and knee)
􀂾 skin and subcutaneous tissues (collagen breakdown and premature aging)
􀂾 meninges and astroglia (connective tissue of brain)
􀂾 heart tissue
􀂾 aequeous humor of the eye

Treatment:

o Heparin 5000 iu s.c or
o Rechtsregulat 1 tbsp twice daily in glass water
o Matrix Electrolytes
o Proteolytic enzymes
o KMT microcurrent
o Lymph drainage
o Auto-urine therapy
o Homeopathic aesculus (horse chestnut)
o Trans-dermal growth hormone
o When giving iv antibiotics, add 3-5ml low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for better tissue penetration
Other factors to facilitate tissue penetration:

􀂾 infection of fibroblasts (fibroblasts are induced to make more GAGs and less collagen)
􀂾 disruption or rearrangement of cytoskeleton
􀂾 collagenolytic, fibrinolytic and proteolytic actions
􀂾 inhibition of wound healing factors, including hGH
􀂾 upon binding to collagen release of porins OMS 28 (form pores in the outer membrane of cells)
􀂾 stimulating the body’s release of metalloproteinases (MMPs) – mostly type 1, 3 and 9 (facilitate travel through extracellular matrix) – the MMPs are responsible for most the damage in Lyme arthritis
􀂾 release of Borrelia glycosaminoglycan binding protein ( binds GAGs to Borrelia surface – Bb uses Gags as food source).

Treatment:

o Chlorella and CGF in high doses (BioPure)
o Matrix Electrolyte
o KMT microcurrent
o Cilantro/Toxaway
o Phospholipid Exchange
o Resveratrol and trans-Resveratrol from Japanese Knotweed (polygonum cuspidatum)
Source Naturals Resveratrol from Knotweed (Hu Zhang) 500mg caps: 3 caps tid immune system manipulation
o Powerful upregulation of TH-1 lymphocytes via unknown mechanism (IL-2, TNF-beta, IF-gamma) treatment: fluconazole 100 mg twice daily for 50 days.
o CD 57: aggressive white cell, gets lowered by Bb via unknown mechanism. Patients with low CD 57 have more co-infections and feel sicker, have more neurological symptoms and more immune problems. Stricker MD recommends this as marker for progression of disease (Ann Agric Environ Med 2002, 9:111-113)

Treatment:

o BioPure energy modulated PC-Samento: start with 4 drops twice daily in a glass of water. Slowly increase to 15 drops twice daily, as Herxheimer reactions permit.
o Energy modulated PC-Noni: 6 drops twice daily. Increase slowly to 15 drops 3 times/day. Take 20 min away from samento.

Mold
Many fungi produce toxic metabolites called mycotoxins, many of which are neurotoxic. Over 100 species known to cause infection in humans.

Three classifications of infection:
1. systemic (by inhalation): in healthy individuals self limited illness, in immune suppressed individuals may disseminate (generally fatal).
Example: Histoplasmosis, Coccidioidomycosis and Paracoccidioidomycosis, Blastomycosis
2. opportunistic infection (common in Lyme and as result of heavy metal toxicity): facultative parasites – can use living and dead substrates for nutrition.

Example:

􀂾 Stachybotrys
􀂾 Candida
􀂾 Aspergillus
􀂾 Mucor
􀂾 Cladosporium (most commonly found genus of fungi in outdoor air in temperate climates; refridgerators and moist window frames, discolors interior paint, textiles and paper, soil of overwatered house plants, sporulates heavily with buoyant spores,together with Alternaria causes hay fever and asthma)
􀂾 Rhizopus
􀂾 Cryptococcus
􀂾 Fusarium graminaerum: in water damaged carpets, often found
in schools, also in cereals
3. Dermatophytes (hair, skin and nails). Usually contracted by direct contact through sharing grooming utensils, showers, and towels). Also passed on via soil.

Mycotoxins:

• Aspergillus and Penicillum species produce:
o Aflatoxin
o Sterigmatocytin
o ochratoxin
• Stachybotrys species and fusarium produce (worst is probably stachybotrys chartarum – greenish-black fungus that grows on fiberboard, gypsum/dry-wall, dust and lint, wallpaper, insulation, particleboard, water-damaged wood. The spores are not destroyed in fire. Spores gravitate to floor: even finding one airborne spore often indicates “lost
cause”):
o Satraoxins
o Tricothecine (extremely potent): several subtypes of macrocytic tricothecenes: stachybotryolactone, verrucarin J, roridin E, satratoxin F, G&H, sporidesmin G, trichoverrols and trichoverrins, 9-phenylspirodrimanes (cyclosporins &spirolactams)
o T-2 toxin
o Vomitoxin
o Fumonisin
o Zearalenone

Clinical tips from Dr Klinghardt.

Most symptoms of heavy metal toxicity, mold exposure, Lyme disease and parasite infestation often look identical. Here is a way to differentiate:
Tip #1:
􀂾 Lyme symptoms worsen during and after successful mercury detoxification (Hg-poisoning was successfully used as a treatment for spirochetes. After eliminating Hg, the microbes recover before the host immune system does).
􀂾 Mold symptoms improve after successful Hg removal (mold uses Hg to protect itself from the host immune system)
Tip#2:
􀂾 Lyme arthritis affects the large joints, mostly knee and hip
􀂾 Mold arthritis affects the small joints of the spine (facet joints) and of the fingers
Tip#3: rythms and biorythms:
􀂾 mold symptoms can flare up within minutes after exposure (ie visiting someone who lives in a moldy home)
􀂾 Lyme symptoms undulate with slower biorythms: 9-10 day cycles, 28-day cycles . When symptoms come back, usually slow rise in intensity over 24 hours.
􀂾 Worm and parasite symptoms worsen for 2-3 days during the full moon
(this is when they are sexually most active and propagate – with accompanying immune reaction). Patient feels relatively well during new moon
Tip#4: location:
􀂾 mold sufferers feel better in dry climates
􀂾 Lyme sufferers cannot tolerate sunshine and often feel worse in dry/sunny climates (avoid sun, get depressed in sun)
Tip#5: behavior/moods:
􀂾 worms in men: risk taking behavior. In women: docile behavior. In both:short episodes of odd crazy schizoid behavior (hours).
􀂾 Neuro-Lyme: episodes of rages and depression. Same mood may last for a few days or weeks, not minutes. Normal/nice episodes even in illest person. Get easily infatuated in inappropriate ways
􀂾 Mold: often moods connected with dullness of brain. Can change in minutes after exposure. Often chronically irritated as long as in mold environment and immediately better, as soon as out
􀂾 Metal toxicity: affected patients drawn to the dark/evil. Man made: artificial environments (prefer Disney land over trip to the ocean), rhythm without real music
Detox has to be done carefully and right!

In the last decade the majority of outcome-oriented physicians observed a major shift: we realized that it was neither the lack of vitamins or growth hormone that made our patients ill. We discovered that toxicity and chronic infections were most often at the core of the client’s suffering. We watched the discussion, which infection may be the primary one: mycoplasma, stealth viruses, HHV-6, trichomonas, Chlamydia pneumoniae, leptospirosis, mutated strep, or whatelse?.
The new kid on the block is Borrelia Burgdorferi (Bb) and some of us have looked at it for a long time as possibly the bug that opens the door for all the other infections to enter the system.
Lyme disease has become a buzzword in the alternative medical field. Since none of the recommended treatments are specific to either one of the microbes, we can never assume that we really know what we treated once a patient has recovered. Microbiologist Gitte Jensen, PhD had shown, that the older we get, the more foreign DNA is attached to our own DNA. Somewhere along the line pathogenic microbes invade the host’s DNA and become a permanent part of it. Since we use only 2% of our DNA, it may not be a problem. In fact, it may make us who we finally become. It may also cause a number of symptoms and chronic illness. Genius Guenther Enderlein’s discoveries take us off the hook: if one microbe can change into another given the right environment, why bother to find out, who we are infected with? . The book”Lab 257” suggests that Bb is a an escaped man- made US military bio-warfare organism (just like myoplasma incognitus and HHV 6).
Other authors suggest that different subtypes of Borrelia which cause illness in humans, such as B. afzelii and B.garinii have probably existed longer then B.burgdorferi and occur naturally (1, 2) and have been with us for a long time, maybe centuries or more. Neurologist Prof. J.Faust MD, PhD of the Albert-Ludwig University in Freiburg, Germany (3) related many neurological and psychiatric illnesses to spirochete infections as early as the 1960s. He was so skilled in his clinical knowledge that he could – only based on clinical neurological symptoms - accurately predict which valley in the Black Forest the infected patient was from! This clearly was a time before Bb - showing that non-syphilis spirochete infections were around earlier then the famous Bb outbreak in Connecticut in the mid seventies. It also makes a strong statement to the fact how easily these creatures may mutate and adapt to local conditions. It may however validate the findings published in “Lab 257”: Tuebingen, the place where German/US warfare spirochete expert Traub was continuing his spirochete experiments in the early 50s, is situated in the Black Forest also. Were these spirochetes genuine or have they escaped from a university laboratory?

Making the diagnosis

It appears, that many patients with MS, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, autism, joint arthritis, chronic fatigue, sarcoidosis and even cancer are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. But is the infection causing the illness or is it an opportunistic infection simply occurring in people weakened by other illnesses.
My experience is based on
a) using direct microscopic proof of the presence of Borrelia burgdoferi (Bb) and other spirochetes (4, 5)
b) the information many affected clients have brought to me
c) my own clinical training and experience ( 30 years in Medical practice, 15 years Bb cognizant)
d) ART testing (autonomic response testing), which is the most advanced and scientifically validated method of muscle testing (6)
e) lab parameters affected by Lyme:
• Abnormal lipid profile (moderate cholesterol elevation with significant LDL elevation)
• insulin resistance
• borderline low wbc, normal SED rate and CRP
• normal thryroid hormone tests but positive Barnes test and excellent response to giving T3
• type 2 (high cortisol, low DHEA) or type 3 adrenal failure (low cortisol and DHEA)
• low testosterone and DHEA
• decreased urine concentration (low specific gravity)

Bb tends to infect the B-lymphocytes and other components of the immune system which are responsible for creating the antibodies, which are then measured by an ELISA test or Western Blot test. Since antibody production is greatly compromised in infected individuals, it makes no sense to use these tests as the gold standard or benchmark for the presence of Bb (7). We also are aware that in endemic areas in the US up to 22% of stinging flies and mosquitoes (2, 8, 9,10) are carriers of Bb and co-infections. In South East Germany and Eastern Europe 12 % of mosquitoes have been shown to be infected. Also many spiders, flees, lice and other stinging insects carry spirochetes and co-infections.
Making the history of a tick bite a condition for a physician to be willing to even consider the possibility of a Bb infection seems cynical and cruel.
To use conventional diagnostic tests such as the Western Blot, one has to think in paradoxes: the patient has to be treated with an effective treatment modality first before the patient recovers enough to produce the antibodies, which then are looked for in the test. A positive Western Blot proves that the treatment given worked to some degree.
A negative Western Blot does not and cannot prove the absence of the infection.

Having taken another route altogether, we have recognized the following:
Today many if not most Americans are carriers of the infection. Most infected people are symptomatic, but the severity and type of the symptoms varies greatly. The microbes often invade tissues that had been injured: your chronic neck pain or sciatica really may be a Bb infection. The same may be true for your chronic TMJ problem, your adrenal fatigue, your thyroid dysfunction, your GERD and many other seemingly unrelated symptoms.

In most places the diagnosis of an active Bb infection is made only, if the symptoms are severe, persistent, obvious and many non-specific and fruitless avenues of treatment have been exhausted. Acute new “typical”cases of Bb infection are rare in my practice. Symptoms tend to get stranger and more obscure every year.
Frequently, if the patient is fortunate enough to see a practitioner who is “Lyme cognizant”, the diagnosis of a supposedly fresh case of symptomatic Lyme disease is made when a significant tissue toxin level has been reached (threshold phenomenon) or when a new co-infection has occurred recently. The symptoms can mimic any other existing medical, psychological or psychiatric condition. The list of significant co-infections is limited: roundworms, tapeworms, threadworms, toxoplasmosis, giardia and amoebas, clostridia, the herpes virus family, parvovirus B 19, active measles (in the small intestine), leptospirosis, chronic strep infections and their mutations, Babesia, Brucella, Ehrlichiosis, Bartonella, mycoplasma, Rickettsia, Bartonella and a few others. Molds and fungi are always part of the picture. The pattern of co-infections and the other preexisting conditions such as mercury toxicity determine the symptom-picture but not the severity.
The severity of symptoms correlates most closely with the overall summation or body burden of coexisting conditions and with the genetically determined ability to excrete neurotoxins. The genes coding for the glutathione S-transferase and for the different alleles of apolipoprotein E (E2, E3 and E4) play a mojor role. E2 can carry twice as much sulfhydryl-affinitive toxins (such as mercury and lead) out of the cell as the E3 subtype, E4 carries out none. Trouble in the methylation, acetylation and sulfation pathways are also common. Other factors, such as diet and food allergies, past toxic and electromagnetic exposures, emotional factors and unhealed ancestral trauma, scar interference fields and occlusal jaw and bite problems are also important (6).

Taken all of the above into account, we do not distinguish between people who have the Bb infection and those who don’t. We distinguish between people who have Lyme disease and those who don’t.
a) patients who are infected with any type of Borrelia and are symptomatic have “Lyme”disease
b) healthy people who are not symptomatic often already have a spirochete infection as well. They may or may not be disasters waiting to happen. But they do not (yet) have Lyme “disease”. Most often several of the “co-infections” are already present prior to the infection with Bb or other spirochetes.

In treatment we focus on exploring the difference between symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers. We treat what the symptomatic person is missing (such as enough magnesium in the diet) or has extra (such as mercury) compared to the asymptomatic one. The group suffering most are newborn babies and young children, who rarely are diagnosed correctly and therefore are not treated appropriately. They often carry the labels ADHD, autistic spectrum disorder, seizure disorder and others. Detoxifying these kids with transdermal DMPS and treating the chronic infections is often curative.

The 3 Components of Lyme disease

Lyme disease has 3 components, which should be recognized and addressed with treatment:

Component #1:
The presence of spirochete infection and co-infections
The co-infections are bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic. Since the spirochetes paralyze multiple aspects of the immune system, the organism is without defenses against many microbes. Many - if not most - of the co-infections are really a consequence of the spirochete infection and not truly a simultaneously occurring “co-infection”.
For this aspect of treatment we use pulsed electromagnetic fields (KMT-microbial inhibition frequencies), niacin in high doses (12)herbs, minerals, bee venom (6) and - sometimes - antiparasitic medication and antibiotics.
The KMT microcurrent technology is new and revolutionary(17). The instruments are FDA approved for pain control. Designed by Japanese engineers they use 4 different - but simultaneously applied - high frequency superimposed biological waveforms. The interference pattern is creating thousands of harmonics which are then manipulated into the specific published microbial inhibition frequencies ( against Bb, mycoplasma etc.). This stealthy microcurrent travels freely through the body reaching every tissue. The instrument measures the skin conductance over a 100 times/second adjusting the amperage constantly (so that the body never creates habituation/resistance against it). The microbes are inhibited in their metabolic and sexual activity and gradually die out or disappear from the body. The instrument looks not much different then a TENS unit and is applied via 4 electrodes to the skin or used by translating the electric field into a vector force field using signal enhancer technology. The KMT frequencies are designed to not only interfere with the reproductive mechanism of the microbes and parasites, but also to awaken the immune system, entrain the white cells to recognize the invaders and at the same time help to absorb and shuttle the effective medication to the body compartment, where the infection actually is. Otherwise, most treatment substances given never reach the target in sufficient concentration.

Component #2: the illness producing effect of microbial exo- and endotoxins
Most of these are neurotoxins, some appear to be carcinogenic as well, others block the T3 receptor on the cell wall, etc. Decreased hormonal output of the gonads and adrenals is a commonly observed neurotoxin mediated problem in Lyme patients. Central inhibition of the pineal gland, hypothalamus and pituitary gland is almost always an issue that has to be resolved somewhat independently from treating the infection. Furthermore, biotoxins from the infectious agents have a synergistic effect with heavy metals, xenobiotics and thioethers from cavitations and NICO lesions in the jaw and from root filled teeth. My published neurotoxin elimination protocol can be downloaded for free (6).
We use toxin binding agents such as fiber rich ground up raw vegetables, chlorella, cholestyramine ( 13 ), beta-Sitosterol, propolis powder, apple pectin and mucuna bean powder ( 14 ). A solid heavy metal detoxification program should be used simultaneously with the first phases of the Lyme treatment. Safe toxic metal elimination is an art unto itself. However, the information is widely available now( 15 ).
The more difficult objective is to choose agents and methods to trigger the release of neurotoxins from their respective binding sites. Only then can they be transported to the liver, processed and enter the small intestine from where they can be carried out by the binding agents. The toxins occupying the T3 receptor are competitively displaced by oral T3 - cycled with the Wilson protocol (available at most compounding pharmacies). The toxins blocking the cortisol receptor are mobilized with the herb forskolin. CGF chlorella - a sophisticated mix of chlorella and chlorella growth factor (14) - and cilantro given together with a non-irradiated mucuna bean powder mobilize most everything else. I also use alternate day dosing of an energetically enhanced phospholipid/EDTA/Alpha-Lipoic acid mix (“Phospholipid Exchange”) which is currently the most tolerated and effective form of phospholipids for the Lyme patient (14).
The KMT microcurrent frequencies dramatically increase the speed of toxin mobilization and access body compartments the biochemical compounds cannot (17). Psychotherapeutic intervention (15) to uncover and treat old trauma is most profoundly effective in triggering a neurotoxin release when none of the other methods appear to work anymore. After each APN session we pre-medicate the patient with CGF-chlorella. Sometimes the extraction of a devitalized tooth or the injection of one of the facial/cervical ganglia with glutathione or another detox agent can trigger a major neurotoxin release (16). Lymph drainage in combination with colon hydrotherapy accesses toxins stored in the lymphatic body-compartment.

Component #3:
The immune reactions provoked by the presence of both toxins and microbes (there are 3 sub-possibilities, which have to be recognized and addressed)
The immune reactions are largely depending on host factors, such as genetics, prior illnesses, mental-emotional baggage, early childhood traumatization, current exposure to electromagnetic fields (sleeping location, use of cell phones, poor wiring in car or home, etc), food allergies and diet, socio-economic background, marital stress etc.
1: Anergy - the absence of reaction due to the successful evasion of the host-defenses . One of the more known mechanisms the microbes use to create anergy is hypercoagulation. The microbes tend to live in the endothelium, where the food is most abundant. They trigger the host’s coagulation mechanism to lay down a layer of fibrin on top of them to evade recognition by the immune system. etc. For this aspect we use 3 techniques: a) the KMT-microcurrent technology and homeopathics to wake up and entrain the immune system
b) Rechtsregulat (“right rotatory fluid”) which is an enzyme rich extract of fermented fruits and vegetables (14). It has outperformed the s.c. injection of heparin in our own trials. Lumbrokinase is far more effective then Nattokinase. Both appear weak when compared to Rechtsregulat. We also client’s system (geopathic stress, EM stress, food allergies, emotional factors, interference fields such as scars and disturbed ganglia and we substitute vitamins and minerals based on ART testing).
c) the Enderlein remedies (especially the haptens) from Pleomorphic-Sanum

B: Allergy - appropriate or exaggerated immune reactions (both cellular TH1-reaction and TH2-cytokine activation). In Lyme disease often (not always) the TH2 (humoral portion of the immune system) is overly active, TH1 is asleep (the cellular immune system). Nothing works better then the APN-desensitization procedure (15): while the patient is exposed to the allergen ( we use a glass-carrier fixated culture of the offending microbes) the ANS is kept in a state of equilibrium, using tapping of acupuncture-points, hypnotherapeutic trauma-recall and intervention techniques and our proprietary psychokinesiology (muscle-biofeedback psychotherapy). A very effective and yet simple technique to turn TH1 back on is auto-urine therapy. The patient’s urine concentrates the antigens (disposed cell walls and cell fragments of offending microbes which the immune system has successfully eliminated). By passing the client’s urine through a micropore filter and injecting it i.m, the lymphocytes on patrol in the connective tissue are brought in contact with the antigen and quickly mount a specific and appropriate immune response. We use 2 ml of filtered urine once weekly for 12 weeks. All other similar approaches (autohemotherapy, homeopathic autonosodes, manipulating the immune system with supplements) are far less effective.

C: Autoimmunity – the toxins and microbes often act as haptens – marking the cell, cellwall or tissue in which they are hiding as foreign and therefore for destruction . This happens especially against a back drop of pre existing heavy metal toxicity, which has to be addressed aggressively and prior to treating the microbes themselves. We use the MELISA test (memory lymphocyte immune-stimulation assay) to establish which metals the patient is reactive to. The same lab in Bremen, Germany also offers the most sensitive Bb test. The KMT microcurrent technology is very effective in recognition entrainment, helping the immune cells to mount a specific and targeted attack on the invaders, sparing the body’s own tissues. It breaks through one of the prime mechanisms the offending germs are using: molecular mimicry (the pathogens present antigens on their surface that are indistinguishable from a normal body tissue).
The technique also breaks another trick the spirochetes have developed: the molecular interaction that occurs between a specific Lyme virulence factor (OspE) and a host protein fH (factor H).

The novice in the field tends to treat component #1 only. We have only rarely observed lasting improvement when course after course of antibiotics was given. Because of the defense mechanisms inherent in the Bb and co-infections, current wisdom suggests that 18 months of antibiotics would be curative in many cases (25). We have observed severe, lasting and unacceptable side effects from this approach (such as tinnitus, kidney failure, intractable immune system breakdown and others). By using the synergistic effect between treatment-modalities which simultaneously address the 3 issues outlined above, lasting improvements are the norm rather than the exception. By using the synergy principle and abandoning the arrogant idea of being able to eradicate all of the microbes in the system “for good”, chronic Lyme patients can often live a normal healthy life again.

The Mineral Issue

To feed, fuel and perk up the cells of the immune system (especially NK cells and macrophages) numerous interventions have been tried, mostly based on orthomolecular and herbal medicine principles. We found that amongst those approaches, abundant mineral substitution based on the red cell mineral analysis is most rewarding. Rarely medical drugs should be used.
Amazingly, the most depleted minerals in our Lyme patients are often copper, magnesium, manganese ( in Lyme) and iron (in Babesiosis). Bb and Bartonella need magnesium to duplicate and deplete the host’s body rapidly. Copper and iron have all but disappeared from most of our supplements based on faulty interpretation of hair analysis. The immune system uses those 2 metals in the process of phagocytosis. They are the main constituent of the enzymes (or “bullets”) the immune cells use in the battle against the invaders. Oxidized used-up iron and copper get displaced into the extracellular compartment and body fluids and appears in the hair and skin, as the body’s most efficient way of excreting toxins without hurting the kidneys. This has led to the dangerous and in its consequence catastrophic assumption, that these metals are the enemy and need to be restricted. It is true, that oxidized metals pose a danger and have to be reduced (=substitution of electrons) or eliminated. However, when copper and iron are needed and substituted appropriately, major improvements have been observed. Appropriate antioxidant treatment can reduce these metals. Homeopathic copper and iron will lead to beneficial redistribution of these metals and makes them bio-available again.
Lithium-orotate or aspartate in low doses (15 mg/day) has been shown to protect CNS structures from neurotoxin damage. Patients almost always benefit clinically from frequent treatment with parenteral magnesium. It is most meaningfully given in a modified Meyer’s cocktail, where we use a 5:2 ratio of folic acid (not folinic) and hydroxycobolamine (not methyl- or cyano-). Hydroxycobolamine is given i.m at the same time as the i.v.injection of the cocktail.
Many Lyme patient’s suffer from Pyrroluria, a metabolic illness where abnormal porphyrins carry out significant amounts of needed zinc and vitamin B6. Diagnosis is made with the appropriate test at the Pfeiffer institute in Chicago. Even though it is assumed that this illness is hereditary I have my doubts, since most Lyme sufferers have a degree of it. I suspect that the appearance of kryptopyrroles in the urine is induced by the illness. However, I am carefull with excessive substitution of zinc. Zinc has a synergistic effect with mercury in the brain and also promotes the growth of the herpes viruses.

If clients show abnormal high losses of sex steroid hormones in the urine, the patient may be cobalt deficient. The urine hormone test and cobalt drops are available at the Tahoma clinic Renton, Wa. For a while selenium should be given in high doses to suppress viral replication and render bioavailable mercury non-reactive.
The element most critical in the Lyme patient however is iodine. A 2 inch square of Lugol’s iodine is painted on the patients skin and should remain visible for 24 hours. The sooner it is absorbed the more deficient the patient. An oral form of Lugol’s is available under the name Iodoral (Optimox, Torrance, Ca).
Filling up the body’s mineral reserves has always been the most essential part of our heavy metal detox program. It is also the most essential part of our Lyme treatment.

Sequencing

There is an inherent order in which the microbes should be treated. If the order is correct, gentle methods work. Treatment should always combine electromagnetic interventions, using specific microbial inhibition frequencies (KMT technology) with the appropriate herb, antibiotic or other antimicrobial strategy. It should also always be combined with a toxin elimination program, good psychotherapy and general life style hygiene (all the stuff, that alternative Medicine stands for).

The Lyme ABC

A. We start with deworming our clients. We often use a simple yet agressive seasalt/Vit C protocol (19) which has an independent effect aginst the spirochetes also. The high salt conmcentration kills large parasites by osmotically induced dehydration (osmotic shock). High salt levels also increase the enzyme elastase which has a strong antimicrobial/anti-spirochete effect (4)
Protocol: 1.5 grams of seasalt per 20 lbs of body weight in 4 divided doses per day for 3 weeks. With each dose also give 1-4 gms of Vit C (dose has to be just below bowel tolerance). Three 3-6-week cycles with a 2 week break inbetween. The BP should be monitored and not elevate outside acceptable levels. 5 % of the population are salt sensitive and react with a significantly increased blood pressure. In the off weeks we give ½ tsp of sea salt first thing am in a glass of water. Sometimes we enhance the program by using the “Arise-and-Shine” herbal program. Often I will add in a course of Albendazole or Biltricide. We developed antiparasitic CDs for entrainment of the immune system. The frequencies were obtained by German physicists by taping the sounds of microbes in their respective live activity in an underground lab which was soundproof and electromagnetically completely shielded (6).

B. the next step is the treatment of giardia, entamoeba histolytica and trichomonas, which most often are overlooked. Lab detection of large parasites in most US labs is hopeless. Amoeba and giardia trophozoites can only be detected in a fresh stool for about 20 minutes. None of the labs available to us comply with this necessity. The detection rate is so substandard that only ART testing, a therapeutic trial or abdominal palpation by an experienced practitioner are capable of establishing the diagnosis. Protocol: organic freeze dried garlic ( 14 ) treats all of the above astoundingly successfully. Sometimes we add Tinidazole 500 mg bid for 10 days always followed by long term garlic therapy (3 caps tid after meals).

C. Next we attend to the chronic strep infections, which often coexist with the herpes viruses. No other treatment has been as successful as Pleo Not (penicillum notatum) from Pleomorphic-Sanum followed by a 6 month course of Pleo Sancom (antidotes for aspergillus niger and mucor racemosus). We always look at the tonsils: if they are scarred with crypts, or lymph tissue has regrown since the tonsillectomy (“tonsillar tags”), surgical intervention is needed. Otherwise these patients (which are most of them) never get well. We recommend a procedure developed by Dr. Sergej Dorochov, MD, PhD called “regenerative cryotherapy” ( 20 ). It involves freezing the surfaces of all lymphatic tissue of the head/neck region which creates a barrage of growth factor and cytokine responses, that often lead to dramatic improvements in our Lyme patients. Lymph drainage using the KMT technology has been superb in speeding the healing of the sinus/head/neck/region.

D. the next step is the treatment of Babesia . There are now at least 17 subtypes of this intracellular Malaria-like organism. Eye, brain and dental symptoms are most often caused by this mean microbe.
Protocol: Frequency #2 in the KMT 22 TENS unit inhibits the metabolic activity of Babesia and is used 3 times weekly.
I also use Artemisinin, 2 cap 2times/day. 3 weeks on, 1 week off. Always with ½ glass of grapefruit juice. 3 cycles. Watch iron levels! Artemisinin provokes the intestinal wall to secrete an enzyme which destroys the medication before it can be absorbed. This process builds up over 3 weeks. After a one week pause the enzyme has disappeared and takes another 3 weeks to reemerge. Grapefruit juice prevents formation of this enzyme. Alternatives are the Swiss Malaria drug Riamet (1 course) which is very well tolerated and Mepron, which is forbiddingly expensive.
Taurox 6X, a sophisticated designer compound marketed as a homeopathic remedy, is very effective in treating the associated fatigue, eye symptoms and erratic emotional behaviour. It has an independent immune system regulating effect.
E. The next step is to start the client on a systemic antiviral treatment. I use the ayurvedic herb cocktail - Indian Gooseberry, Chebulic and Beleric myrobalan ( 14 ) , which has given the most profound and lasting effect on the viruses of the herpes family, which flourish in the immune suppressed Lyme patient. The Japanese mushroom extracts have also been helpful. . I also like the North American product “Pro Boost” (thymus extract) to help awaken the cellular immune system.
Olive leaf, virox and other chaparral- derivatives have been disappointing. The insomnia of Lyme disease is often herpes viral in nature (EBV, VZ or HSV 1, HSV II). As a diagnostic trial I often use 1000 mg of the medical antiviral drug Valtrex at bedtime. If there is a dramatic improvement, herbal antiviral treatment has to be considered for a long time. We have designed an antiviral program for the KMT instruments (frequency #4) and an anti viral CD, which s played through a walk man or regular sound system at low volume 3 times/week. This has been extremely effective. Zinc fosters the growth of HSV I and II, copper and selenium inhibit it.

F. Simultaneously I address the fungal/yeast component which is most often present, especially if clients had prior antibiotic treatment. Fungi and viruses seem to support each other in yet unknown ways. I use both the antifungal CD and the KMT TENS-frequencies in program #4 which contains all known anti-yeast and anti-mold frequencies ( 6 ). With ART technology we could show that the most successful and well tolerated antifungal is either the drug amphotericin B (250 mg bid) or the combination of organic freeze dried garlic and oil of oregano. Substitution with effective microbes is important. We use “Matrix Flora” ( 14 ) which contains over 80 lesser known beneficial microbes. Every patient is also on a more traditional acidophilus/bifidus/FOS product. Eating a low carb diet is often a must. We monitor the fasting insulin level. If it is low, we are ok. If it is high, we restrict the carbs. Do not restrict the carbs if it is not necessary. We have seen dangerous mistakes in this field. Metabolic typing is a safeguard, but time consuming to do at home, especially if you are very ill. I use the “diet therapy software” (21) for a rapid and profound diet evaluation and recommendation. Most successful is the ART food sensitivity test for every single item in the client’s diet (6). It may take 15 minutes, is more sensitive then the ELISA, MELISA and other lab tests - and it does not incur lab fees (6). The rotation diet by Sally Rockwell prevents relapses.

G. Mycoplasma responds well to enzymes, when it is treated in sequence with the other microbes as outlined here. The most effective strategy is the German product Rechtsregulat (14). This simple drink has been extremely effective in eradicating mycoplasma and other cell wall deficient microbes. It also has a heparin like anti-fibrin effect that surpasses injected heparin by far. It has just like heparin, a strong biological effect against Babesia as well. Dosage: 1 tbs/2 times per day. The KMT program #4 is designed for treatment of mycoplasma (6).

H. The spirochetes and their close relatives ( Bartonella, Rickettsia, Ehrlichiosis, Brucella abortis) are best treated last - with antimicrobial herbs or antibiotics., 1 tsp bid. We use an alternating course of teasel root tincture (15 drops 3 times per day) for 6 weeks and then TOS free cat’s claw tincture (10 drops tid). We also use Echinacea root tincture , 2 dropperfull 3 times/day. Organic freeze dried garlic sometimes has a profound effect on the spirochetes. Many other herbs have enormous potential in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease.
Frequency #1 in the KMT TENS unit inhibits the microbial growth of spirochetes and Bartonella, simultaneously activates specific immune responses and aids the uptake of antimicrobial herbs.
Injected bee venom has long been my favorite during this phase of the treatment (22, 23). The peptide mellitin has strong antibiotic activity against all spirochetes (24). Bee venom also contains nerve growth factor, the very substance needed for healing, when everything else has been attended to.
For the psychiatric presentations of Lyme disease I use large doses of Niacin. Niacinamide and no-flush Niacin do not work. 3-6 gms in 3-4 divided doses often show amazing results. It appears that Niacin has tremendous antibiotic potential against all types of Borrelia (12). I suspect that our mentor and genius in orthomolecular psychiatry, Abraham Hoffer, MD discovered a treatment for Bb long before Lyme-disease was known.
The current antibiotic protocols are discussed and listed elsewhere (10). My favorites include Zithromax and Minocycline (both work symbiotically by binding to separate regions of the bacterial 50s ribosomal nucleic acid and both inhibit the microbes from taking part in protein transcription). I also use Rifampin.
Often patients develop sarcoidosis, which is rarely recognized (11). The Lyme infected lymph nodes produce abnormal amounts of 1.25 di-hydroxy vitamin D. The client often develops marked osteoporosis (most often in the spine) along with other more typical Lyme symptoms. The blood test (1.25 di-OH vit D) will usually reveal the pathology (levels over 45), necessitating therapy with the Trevor Marshall protocol (18). It uses antibiotics together with the angiotensin II receptor blocker olmesartan –medoxomil. By adding the KMT lymphdrainage technology twice/week results are often rapid and miraculous. We hope to find alternatives to the antibiotic regimen in the near future.

When the sequence outlined here is observed, few people have severe Herxheimer reactions, which are the rule in other approaches.

Outlook

Most clients will need some support for several years, before they have found and adapted to a new life style in which the symptoms are absent. Lyme disease is marked by cyclic rhythms and unexpected returns of the symptom from time to time. Once a patient has figured out what works for him or her best, most of my patients learn how to manage the illness with very little help - on their own, living normal healthy lives worth living. In the course of conquering the illness there has been a lot of personal growth and a lot of learning. Many treatment modalities have been surprisingly ineffective: ozone, hyperbaric oxygen, ICHT (intracellular hyperthermia) and many others. Some treatments have been unexpectedly effective: dental splints, colortherapy, Tomatis therapy and neurosensory stimulation, elevating the body temperature with T3 supplementation, regular bee venom injections, tonsillectomies and cryotherapy and many others. After 15 years of dealing consciously with this illness, Lyme disease is still a mystery to me. Currently its impact outweighs other important issues like heavy metal toxicity, unresolved psychological issues and nutritional deficiencies.

There has been much speculation, why Lyme disease seems to be increasingly common. The book “Lab 257”is an investigative report on the issues involved. The insects which are the vectors for these microbes thrive in warmer climates. I have no doubt, that to a large degree the greenhouse effect is responsible and will be confronting us with the onslaught of more and more aggressive microbes. The partial pressure of oxygen on the earth at sea level has decreased from 30% 150 years ago to 19% today. The oxygen producing algae in the oceans are dying.
The response of the public health system so far has been denial and anger towards those who try to uncover the puzzle and help the afflicted patients. This will certainly change in the near future. I expect that by the time the institutions discover Lyme disease as a far more important factor in chronic illness then currently acknowledged, we will be confronted with new, far more dangerous microbes. Antibiotics have disappointed in the treatment of Lyme disease as a single modality. Antibiotics alone will not help us to cope with the coming plagues.
All of us “alternative” practitioners have to start looking beyond antibiotics for help and for hope. The microbes have always been with us. They are not the enemy. It is us who have altered the environment so severely and in a way which facilitates the growth of lower evolved species like cell wall deficient microbes and viruses - and ends the life for many more evolved species. Extinction may be forever.
Lyme disease is a messenger. If we don’t change, someday not too far from now we may be on the endangered species list.

There is a “strong probability” the foot-and-mouth outbreak began at a research site, inspectors have said.
But either the private company Merial, or the state-run Institute for Animal Health, both based at the Pirbright site, could be the source…
BBC News
Further :
The Health and Safety Executive have published their Initial Report of potential breaches to bio-security at the Pirbright Site 2007. The Environment Secretary, Hilary Benn, has made a statement in response to the HSE initial report.
From Here :

Production of vaccine it seems, will be carried out at the Merial laboratory,

Perfect timing.
However, there is nothing more obvious than Foot and Mouth Disease.
Imagine the “minor” transgressions that have occurred on a global scale over the past 50 years.

In his report for 2002, the UK Chief Medical Officer, Dr Liam Donaldson stated: “When I produced the first ever comprehensive infectious diseases strategy for the NHS in January of 2002 (‘Getting Ahead of the Curve’), I drew attention to the problem of so-called ‘new and emerging infections’ and gave West Nile fever as an example. Factors such as greatly increased international travel and trade, urbanisation, change in land use and climate change can affect the delicate balance between micro-organisms (such as bacteria and viruses), their
environment and people.

Asian Tiger Mosquito

The Asian Tiger Mosquito () has been identified by the Health Protection Agency as an insect that could potentially arrive in the UK.
If this were to happen and if the mosquito became established, then it could cause a greater biting nuisance and may become involved in the transmission of disease.

Energy Medicine

Society is failing to address the serious deterioration in its health. Epidemics of chronic illnesses are now rampant. Whether autism or chronic fatigue; cancer or mental illnesses; our Government is embarrassingly quiet about potential infectious causes. Exploring this issue will be an affront to the pharmaceutical industry’s self-image of only ever doing good with their vaccination programs. Moreover, our leaders argue, they can not deal with infections that they do not understand.

There is an answer, for there is now a real possibility of effective therapy. The clues have come from organic farmers, old style traditional healers, and some of the prominent pioneers of alternative medicine. Coupled with research findings on stealth-adapted viruses, the promise of therapy clearly lies within the realm of energy medicine.

The research has shown that cells can utilize alternative cellular energy pigments which can capture physical energy from our environment and convert it into metabolic energy. At least in the test tube, the ACE-pigments energized cells can overcome the damaging effects of a viral infection. Nature has provided the building blocks for ACE-pigments, as well as various comparable products. Some of these materials already have the reputation of being able to relieve symptoms attributed to chronic stealth virus infections. These compounds now need to be tested in rigorously controlled double blind clinical studies.

The compositions and formulations of some of the more promising products are being guarded by individuals intent on profiting from what they each believe to be unique and unmatched. An unwillingness to share will surely deny these individuals a legacy far more valuable that money could provide.

Some products are being touted as being homeopathic so as to avoid FDA oversight, or as immune stimulants, as if this system provided all of the answers to infectious diseases. Rather, it appears that they have a unifying mode of action of providing an alternative energy source.

Fortunately, I have come to know a hand full of impressive individuals who will succeed by doing what is right. Their own particular products can be tested individually, and then in various combinations. This is the way to go.

Will there be funding? Not to our group if it has the strings of bypassing FDA, gauging those who are sick, or limiting access to the rich and powerful. Unfortunately, we live in a selfish, money-driven society. Doing what is right has become synonymous with doing what will generate more and more income.

Making a significant difference or addressing a pressing need in society is of lesser importance to many of those that I have encountered. Let them have it their way, we can do better.

I am optimistic that our evolving team will generate early successes that will propel this program into a National movement. The end of the stealth-virus epidemic is in sight, and the rebirth of energy based medicine is at hand.
