Excerpted From the Writings of Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, Ph.D., edited by Eve Greenberg, LPC, CN, Explore Staff Reporter and Director of the Klinghardt Academy of Neurobiology
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 what else?
The new kid on the block is Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) and some of us have looked at it for a long time as possibly being the bug that opens the door for all the other infections to enter the system. Another one is Lyme disease, which 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 you get, the more foreign DNA is attached to your own DNA. Somewhere along the line, pathogenic microbes invade the host�s DNA and become a permanent part of it. Since you use only 2 percent of your DNA, it may not be a problem. In fact, it may make you who you 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 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 than B.burgdorferi and occur naturally and have been with us for a long time, maybe centuries or much longer than that.
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) Regular lab parameters affected by Lyme:
Abnormal lipid profile (moderate cholesterol elevation with significant LDL elevation)
Insulin resistance
Borderline low white blood cells, normal SED rate and CRP
Normal thyroid 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)
Complex changes in cytokines, interferones, NK cells, white blood cell indicators, etc.
Bb tends to infect the B-lymphocytes and other components of the immune system that 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 percent of stinging flies and mosquitoes (2, 8, 9, and 10) are carriers of Bb and co-infections. In South East Germany and Eastern Europe 12 percent of mosquitoes have been shown to be infected. In addition, 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 that 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.
Many Bb symptoms are mistaken for problems of natural or premature aging.
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.
Common Co-Infections
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.
What Influences the Severity of Your Symptoms?
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 major 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 is 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).
The severity of symptoms is not related to the number of spirochetes in your system but rather to your individual immune response.
Taking all of the above into account, we do not distinguish between people who have the Bb infection and those who don�t. Instead, we distinguish between people who have Lyme disease and those who do not.
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 is 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 (ASD), seizure disorder and others. Detoxifying these kids with transdermal DMPS and treating the chronic infections is often curative.
The Three Components of Lyme disease
Lyme disease has three components, which should be recognized and addressed with treatment: Component #1:The presence of spirochete infectionand co-infections
The co-infections are bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic. Since the spirochetes paralyze multiple aspects of your 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 treatment options, see below. Component #2: the illness producing effect of microbial exo- and endotoxins and toxins produced by the host in response to microbial trigger
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 toxin 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 (14), 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 your liver, be processed, and enter your 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 -- 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.
The KMT microcurrent frequencies dramatically increase the speed of toxin mobilization and access body compartments the biochemical compounds cannot .
Psychotherapeutic intervention 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.
Lymph drainage in combination with colon hydrotherapy accesses toxins stored in the lymphatic body-compartment. German practitioners have pioneered the combination of oral cilantro and the �Toxaway� microcurrent footbath. Component #3: The immune reactions provoked by the presence of both toxins and microbes (there are three sub-possibilities, which have to be recognized and addressed).
Your immune reactions are largely depending on 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.
A multitude of biochemical serum markers is used today to determine the status of the infection (see below). A subset of NK killer cells, CD 57+ is emerging as a valid marker for activity of the illness (lower counts indicate worsening).
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 hyper coagulation. The microbes tend to live in your endothelium where the food is most abundant. There they trigger the coagulation mechanism to lay down a layer of fibrin on top of them to evade recognition by your immune system, etc. For this aspect we use three 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 and frequently leads to rapid subjective improvement.
Lumbrokinase is far more effective than Nattokinase,but both appear weak when compared to Rechtsregulat.
We also work on recognizing and eliminating those factors that block the 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 2: Allergy -- appropriate or exaggerated immune reactions (both cellular TH1-reaction and TH2-cytokine activation).
In Lyme disease oftentimes (but not always), TH-1 is overly active early in the illness and can easily be downregulated by fluconazole. Later TH2 becomes overly active.
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 psycho kinesiology (muscle-biofeedback psychotherapy).
A very effective and yet simple technique to re-regulate TH1 and TH2 back 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 micro pore filter and injecting it intra-muscularly, 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. 3: Autoimmunity -- the toxins and microbes often act as haptens -- marking the cell, cell wall or tissue in which they are hiding as foreign and therefore for destruction. This happens especially against a backdrop 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 your immune cells to mount a specific and targeted attack on the invaders, sparing your 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). Some surface antigens in the spirochete are identical to myelin. This explains why anti-myelin antibodies are often present.
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). But instead 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 that simultaneously address the three 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 use of herbs alone or in combination with antibiotics has emerged as the most important core strategy.
The Importance of Minerals
To feed, fuel and perk up the cells of the immune system (especially NK cells and macrophages) numerous interventions have been attempted, 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 should medical drugs 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. Your immune system uses those two metals in the process of phagocytosis. They are the main constituent of the enzymes (or �bullets�) your 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 your hair and skin as that�s your body�s most efficient way of excreting toxins without damaging your 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 leads 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 your CNS structures from neurotoxin damage.
Patients also almost always benefit clinically from frequent treatment with parenteral magnesium. It is most meaningfully given in a modified Meyer�s cocktail. We also use a 5:2 ratio of folic acid (not folinic) and hydroxycobolamine (not methyl- or cyano-) sublingually several times/day.
In addition methyl-cobolamine is givenintra-muscularly twice weekly and is important in the methylation/restoration of reduced glutathione. Hydroxy-B12 protects your brain from nitric oxide induced damage.
Many Lyme patients 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 Vitamin Diagnostics in New Jersey. 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 careful 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 most critical element in the Lyme patient, however, is iodine. A two inch square of Lugol�s iodine is painted on the patient�s 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 your 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 of Effective Treatment
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.
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 best, most of my patients learn how to manage their illness with very little help.
Klinghardt Lyme Disease Protocol
Biological treatment of Lyme disease and chronic infections: (based on over 900 successful treatment cases)
The treatment of Lyme disease requires 4 distinctive steps:
Decreasing toxic body burden/unloading the system
Improving disturbed physiology
Decreasing microbial count
Immune modulation
Decreasing toxic body burden/unloading the system
Proper sleep
Low EMF (turn off all fuses, sleep sanctuary, turquoise light/photon wave to increase melatonin and non-rem Delta sleep)
Non-toxic/allergenic bedding material (cave: flame retardants/PBDEs)
Avoid light/noise pollution at night
1. Short form of toxin elimination and antimicrobial treatment: �Le Cocktail� Freeze dried garlic (against microbes, toxins, sulfur), chlorella (viruses, bacteria, toxins, nutrients), cilantro (bacteria, viruses, toxins) and fish oil (for microcirculation and cell wall flexibility) The Long Form of Healing
Toxin elimination:
Remove intestinal biofilm: 1 tsp clay followed by 1 tbsp fiber laxative for 6 weeks, prior to do anything else
Assessment via lab work or ART -- correct what is missing and what is too much (hormones, minerals and electrolytes, glutathione, sulfur, etc.)
Genetic testing: find minimal bypass nutrition to correct for SNPs or gene deletions/mutations
Diet: gluten and casein free diet, Specific carbohydrate diet, Metabolic typing, blood group diet or ART based diet
Common deficiencies in Lyme: magnesium: has to be given transdermal or via injection. Oral Magnesium feeds spirochetes
Copper, zinc and iron are spent by macrophages and appear in oxidized form in hair and serum, giving the wrong appearance of excess
Improving disturbed biochemistry and physiology: KPU/HPU
Over 80 percent of our Lyme patients have developed HPU (hemo-pyrrol-lactam-uria). The term falsely used in most US literature is KPU (krypto-pyrrol-uria)
HPU disarms the immune system by catastrophic depletion of zinc, manganese, arachidonic acid, histamin, taurine.
These losses are hard to detect with any current technology (only bone and CNS biopsies are reliable.
Labs to consider:
KPU urine test (Vitamin Diagnostics)
alkaline phosphatase low normal
copper: zinc ration greater than 1 in hair and urine
low Omega 6 in red cell membrane fatty acid test
white blood cell zinc, red cell copper level
If KPU is treated first and the system is restored to normal levels (4-8months), Borrelia, Bartonella-like organisms and Babesia respond tomuch milder interventions without significant Herxes or problems
Neurophysiology
Gives your brain healthy rhythms: KMT technology
Listen to Lyme entrainment CDs
Spend time in nature
Avoid EMF�s (cordless phones, cell phones, wireless technology, home near airport (radar), computer
Exercise
Stretching
Weight lifting
Movement (dance, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, etc.)
Aerobic exercise -- avoid post exercise fatigue and pain
3. Rizols (ozonated castor oil treated with high voltage electrolysis) decrease microbial count. Rizols havestrong and specific anti-microbial properties, no known adverse longterm effects, are relatively inexpensive and are pleasant to take.
They have been used successfully since 1905. (You�ll find the recipes below.)
1: treat parasites, mold and anaerobes
Rizol Gamma (effective dose: 15-20 drops tid)
2: treat both RNA (Borna, etc.) and DNA (HHV-6, EBV, etc.) viruses: Rizol Zeta (20 drops tid)
3: when on full dose of Gamma and Zeta, treat Babesia:
After 2 months on full treatment: stop or reduce Rizol Gamma and treat Bartonella: Rizol My (20 drops tid).
After 2 months reduce dose of rizols Zeta and My to 10 drops tid and treat spirochetes: add Rizol Epsilon and Jota, 10 drops tid each.
Always follow rizol with adsorbent (biosorption): chlorella (20 tbl), chitosan (1-2 caps), zeolite (1 tsp) or charcoal (2 caps) Rizol-Gamma
70 percent Rizol-raw material (ozonated castor oil treated with high voltage electrolysis)
10 percent clove oil
10 percent oil of artemesia
10 percent black walnut oil Rizol-Zeta
69.3 percent Rizol-raw material
10.0 percent oil of artemesia annua
10.0 percent clove oil
5.0 percent black cumin oil
3.0 percent moxa oil
1.8 percent walnut oil
0.9 percent oil of majoram
Biological effects, according to the Steidl/Carstens studies:
The ozonides transfer oxygen and change the environment in which anaerobic pathogenic germs live, making it aerobic
This prevents anaerobic germs, such as Clostridia, from multiplying
The oil is surface-active and, with its active substances, moistens your intestinal mucous membrane where nests of fungi and bacteria and parasites might be located
Rizol constituents have been found intracellularly and in the matrix (indicating anti-microbial activity both intra-and extracellularly)
Cell toxicology studies:
Mitochondria are not damaged,
OECD test for mutagenicity produced the result: not mutagenic.
Normal human cells are guided into apoptosis (beneficial and genetically pre-programmed cell death)
Previously damaged and tumor cells are destroyed
No adverse pharmacological effects were found in numerous cell culture tests
4. Immune modulation
Use the CD 57 test (Labcorp � Stricker panel) to monitor immune status
Enderlein remedies: treat immune responses to mold: Pleo Nig, Not, Muc, Fort, Pef, Ut and UT-S, Lat
Auto-hemotherapy or auto-urine therapy (2 ml biw)
Buhner herbs (Quintessence from BioPure) 8-10 dropperfull in 1 liter water
Adjunctive physics based immune modulation tools:
KMT frequency-based biofield treatment
Health Light super LED treatment of focal areas
Valkion: singlet oxygen energy delivery via inhaled air or drinking water
Photon Wave or Jae Laser immune modulation
Medical drugs: Occasionally the use of medical antimicrobials is beneficial in addition to this program (ILADS recommendations). Top of the list:
anti-virals (Valtrex and Valcyte)
anti-fungals (itra- and voriconazole)
anti-parasitics (Alinia and Biltricide)
antibiotics (with above program, minocycline, and anti-Malarials work again!)
Lyme Disease as a Messenger
In the course of conquering this illness there has been a lot of personal growth and a lot of learning.
There has been much speculation as to 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 percent 150 years ago to 19 percent 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 than is 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 as 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 that 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, we may be on the endangered species list someday not too far from now.
Good info. thanks for bringing it here. I think that Klinghardt also uses MMS.
the comment about Lyme thriving in warmer climates is just plain not accurate. It thrives in deep freeze areas also
including the rugged mountains of Utah, Idaho, Montana. So be cautious where ever you go in the great out of doors.
Mostly ticks thrive when there is sufficient moisture. So dry mountains in a wet year can have more tics with lyme during the summer.
I am also concerned about people who eat wild game. Of course many deer carry Lyme. The meat must be fully cooked. No medium rare preparations.

His treatments are virtually impossible to follow. He knows a lot about the disease, but I do not know anyone that could begin to duplicate that regimen.

That's the sad thing. There's one of him and millions with Lyme. I don't know of any other doctor that uses his protocol. But this gives you the idea of what you have to treat besides the beasties themselves--toxins, immune system, past trauma. Also, it teaches us about some things that are maybe new to us, like Rizols.
Maybe his cases are the toughest ones, but we have done pretty well just using a Rife machine. Killing the bacteria is the heart of the problem. Frequencies can reach where antibiotics and other oral treatments can't.
The Rife machine frequencies can reach where the spirochetes hide? Can you go into more detail about what you mean by 'we have done pretty well'? Which is good news by the way! I believe it's your wife who has Lyme Disease if I remember correctly?
I don't want to give the impression that Dr. Klinghardt is the only successful doctor out there, it's just that I know that he has had success and I'm depressed and disappointed that there are so few great natural doctors in our drug/antibiotic/AMA ruled culture. The respected LLMDs (Lyme Literate Medical Doctors) are mainly the ones who give antibiotics and drugs and many people who see them are on both antibiotics and several drugs at the same time for long periods of time and I just don't see how that could be a great thing.
Dr. Klinghardt uses these, I have no clue what they are, are they anything like Rife:
Adjunctive physics based immune modulation tools:
KMT frequency-based biofield treatment
Health Light super LED treatment of focal areas
Valkion: singlet oxygen energy delivery via inhaled air or drinking water
this machine makes singlet oxygen, highly reactive, much like ozone therapy I would assume. Singlet oxygen will react with a wide variety of microbes and kill them. I really have no further knowledge of this technology.
Dr. Klinghardt is using a frequency method with the KMT, but it operates on a different principle and is a microcurrent machine I believe. I think the KMT attempts to disrupt the reproduction of the bacteria, but I am not real familiar with the treatment.
The Rife machine, as they are commonly called, are not really a Rife machine, since no one has actually duplicated the original. But it is something that attempts to accomplish bacterial destruction through the precise application of a resonant frequency that either damages or otherwise disables the bacteria. It is not a perfect Lyme solution either as the commonly used Lyme frequencies seem to only kill the physically weak spirochete form.
My wife has been infected for about four years and did not get prompt treatment, due to negative testing, so now she basically has chronic Lyme. She had the fevers, bad joint pain, and Lyme rages caused by the brain infection. She was headed for a wheel chair when I started to treat her, first with Samento, and Cumanda, later with the Rife machine. We also tried MMS and it did kill a lot of it, but the stomach problems made it impossible to keep using it.
So we have just been using the frequency treatments for the last year. She is not cured and may never be cured, but she is fully functioning most of the time, with occasional bouts of joint pain. Frequency treatments get rid of it most of the time, but there are times when the Lyme is converting back to spirochete form quickly and that is when the joints flare up. Her Lyme brain problems are gone, and she has no fevers or any other symptoms.
Lately we have been testing DNA based frequencies from Char Boehm. She is a super smart researcher that has her own patented method of calculating frequencies based on the DNA or RNA of a pathogen. These frequencies are calculated to hopefully damage the DNA of the bacteria. With Lyme this would mean that now you can kill all forms with the treatment, not just spirochete. This is the stumbling block of all treatments presently, as they have a hard time killing cyst form.
I hope to find that they do just that, and I am in the process of testing them, but it will take months to know for sure. If it does work, it will be the biggest breakthrough in Lyme treatment to date, that most people will not hear about.
I hope it works, as it has for a few other pathogens, but time will tell. Check out her site at the link below. It is quite interesting.
I use a GB-4000 and a Rife Labs EMX. I often use the GB-4000 with an adapter to the EMX so we do not have to use the contact method, which is inconvenient for longer treatments.
They both do the job, but no cure yet. I guess controlling it is worth quite a bit, but i am going for a cure. Maybe we will get there with the DNA frequencies. I hope so.
I hope it works, Dan. It seems like you have to blast the pathogens with a lot of things and aggressively, plus deal with toxins and past trauma, avoid stress, take supplements and eat right. I wonder if they adjust to what you're doing and adapt so that rotating things is a good idea? It's kind of scary that rife or other things may just kill the spirochete form. Does this mean that stronger forms are left and if you don't get them all, you're left with just stronger bugs? Kind of like when you try and cure candida yourself or try to cure it with drugs or don't use an effective protocol and don't get it all and you're left with a worse infection with resistant fungal forms?
Are many people cured who have Chronic Lyme? Any idea of statistics? I hope it works, keep battling it. I'm glad the brain problems are gone, that's when it's scary. Lyme rages, whew, no fun. No lingering cognition/memory problems?
It seems that someone doesn't want the Lyme problem known and that it's worse than people know. They make trouble for the LLMDs. And the standard tests often show a false negative and one of the reliable tests, the Igenex, is $1100 and insurance doesn't pay for it.
So if anyone gets bit by a tick or a mosquito or other bug and gets the flu like symptoms or a bulls eye rash, though some don't get any symptoms unfortunately and it may not always be bugs that transmit it, go to the doctor ASAP so it can be cured in time before it becomes Chronic Lyme, very hard to cure.
this machine makes singlet oxygen, highly reactive, much like ozone therapy I would assume. Singlet oxygen will react with a wide variety of microbes and kill them. I really have no further knowledge of this technology.
Would ozone therapy work on Lyme? The Rizols use ozonated castor oil treated with high volatage ectrolysis.
I don't know how they apply that ozonated castor oil. Do they eat it?
Ozone therapy is known to be helpful with lyme but I have never heard the word cure, unless you got some ozonated blood work done, that might be more effective. They have a new procedure where they purify all the blood in the body with ozone much like current dialysis for kidney failure patients. Then the machine takes out all the waste products and toxins the ozone creates from its purification process. This is suppose to be highly effective for a lot of diseases but of course you can't get it the US. I think it is now in Mexico and has been in Malasyia for a while... India too I think.
Always with lyme, the issue is not only what will kill the cysts but what kind of product or treatment can get to them where they are hidden. I would think that ozonating all the blood in the body might bring a great chance.
But not to harp on it too much, for us lessor folks who have no money for such therapies, MMS is proving pretty effective for some Lyme cases.
Rizol-Gamma
70 percent Rizol-raw material (ozonated castor oil treated with high voltage electrolysis)
10 percent clove oil
10 percent oil of artemesia
10 percent black walnut oil Rizol-Zeta
69.3 percent Rizol-raw material
10.0 percent oil of artemesia annua
10.0 percent clove oil
5.0 percent black cumin oil
3.0 percent moxa oil
1.8 percent walnut oil
0.9 percent oil of majoram
You can see that Rizol Gamma has clove, wormwood and black walnut--the typical preparation for parasites. That's why I'm wondering how the ozonated castor oil would make it more effective.

Harp away. I'm sure others would agree. MMS is awesome. I'm one of the lesser folks. Rizols are expensive. While I think it's true that a lot of people won't spend the money, a lot of people don't have the money. Especially with a disease like lyme that seems to be hard to cure and most people can only manage it.
I believe the mechanisms of Ozone and MMS are similar in that they oxidize pathogens. But in order to do this there has to be a blood supply to the pathogen and there cannot be a thick biofilm protecting the pathogen.
The standard Lyme frequencies do just affect the spirochete form, or at least affect it more than other forms. Although a rare cure does occur, as with other methods.
I do not think the bacteria can directly protect themselves or adapt to prevent damage to frequency treatments, other than converting to cysts. It is a physical process, like stepping on a bug.
The DNA frequencies I am using now, hopefully will damage the DNA of all form enough to either prevent it from replicating, or kill it slowly from damage.
All I can report at this time is that the DNA frequencies are having an effect on at least some of the bacteria. Only when stepped up to the MHz range though. When we used them in the lower Hertz range they did not seem to work well at all.
