Excerpt:

BOSTON — Public health officials say more Massachusetts residents are being diagnosed with Lyme disease, and many of them are picking up the tick-borne ailment in areas of the state where it was relatively rare a decade ago.

State Department of Public Health figures show that the disease, once most common on Cape Cod and the Islands, is now seen more in Middlesex, Norfolk, and Worcester counties.

There were 4,042 Lyme disease cases statewide last year, compared with 1,194 in 2000.

Its about time: a “mainstream” study of rife technology. Dr. Steven Phillips, M.D., of Connecticut (ILADS member) is recruiting volunteer participants for “a matched cohort study to assess for DNA damage, or the lack thereof, in patients using rife machines.” See Dr. Phillips’ flyer on the study for more information (the flyer has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the hospital he is working with for this study).

While I’ve long felt that rife therapy is among the most helpful modalities for Lyme patients (as I wrote in the book I published in 2004), there has been very little study on the benefits or harm of this treatment. Perhaps this will be the beginning of an open door for many more such studies in the future. Thanks, Dr. Phillips!

The 2009 Rife Handbook, which is revised and hardcover format, has been on sale for about a year now. Below, rife researcher and nutritionist Richard Loyd, Ph.D., provides his impression of the book. To learn more, read excerpts, or order the book, click here.

I have obtained a copy of Dr. Nenah Sylver’s 2009 The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy with a Holistic Health Primer.

This library-in-a-book is hard cover, has more than 700 pages and it weighs more than 5 pounds. Some of the chapters would easily qualify to be books in their own right. What follows is like a skipping a rock on a lake. It gives you only a surface look at what is a very large amount of material.

Chapter 1 covers the current medical care situation (as opposed to genuine “health care”), vaccines, injury to children by medical treatment and much more.

Chapter 2 shows how pathogens can change form depending on nutrition, toxins, electrical stressors and many other stressors. The research and inventions of Dr. Rife are discussed. The work of other recent researchers is described.

Chapter 3 contains a massive amount of material on water (how to provide good water and why it is important and how much to use), food (how to choose good food and dangers of certain foods), supplements, oxygen therapies, colloidal silver, cleanses, exercise, light and color, sauna therapy, structural correction and much more.

Chapter 4 covers how to do frequency sessions and when not to. Types of equipment are described including contact, radiant, laser, frequencies on CD and much more. There is an extensive sixty page FAQ section.

Chapter 5 is the 200 page frequency directory. There is background information and descriptions for the various conditions along with frequencies.

Arizona Lyme Disease Association is hosting a discussion of the book Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment on July 10. Details here, http://www.tucsononthecheap.com/health-and-wellness/insights-lyme-disease-treatment/

With all the wild and unsubstantiated claims running around the internet for just about every supplement available, it is a breath of fresh air to have an independent university study confirm the health effects of a popular Lyme supplement or supplements: in this case, Nutramedix Samento and Banderol.

The study was called “In Vitro Effectiveness of Samento and Banderol Herbal Extracts on the Different Morphological Forms of Borrelia Burgdorferi.” It was conducted by Akshita Datar, Navroop Kaur, Seema Patel, David F. Luecke, and Eva Sapi, PhD of the Lyme Disease Research Group, University of New Haven.

You can access the study via PDF or on the website of the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients. To learn more about the products in the study, visit the following Nutramedix websites:

• Nutramedix company homepage
• Information about Nutramedix
• Nutramedix information on Lyme disease

Disclosure: Nutramedix engages the services of BioMed Publishing Group for our “flyer insert advertising program” and several other advertising programs. However, BioMed Publishing Group was provided no incentive or compensation for this blog post.

Wouldn’t it be powerful if dozens, or hundreds, of Lyme sufferers could exchange information about which supplements are working for them, in real time? Here is your chance to share your favorite supplement - the one you took with breakfast this morning - and to learn about the supplements other Lyme sufferers are currently using. Just click here to visit our Facebook page, where you will find that the most recent poll question on the page focuses on this very question. Anyone, even those without facebook accounts, can read about all the supplements people are talking about. If you want to share your supplement(s), simply log in to your facebook account before visiting the page, and then click “like” on our facebook page, and then you will be able to share!

The email went out too late; if you weren’t able to listen to Connie’s Radio interview, you can do so here in an archived, recorded version:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gabwiththegurus/2010/06/02/lyme-disease-the-tick-transmitted-disease–what-it

From Connie Strasheim, author of Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment:

Tomorrow I will be participating in a podcast panel on Lyme disease, along with Pamela Weintraub, author of “Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Disease Epidemic”; Dr. Leo J. Shea, III, Vice President of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) and Phyllis Mervine, founder of the California Lyme Disease Association (CALDA. The link to connect to the show is at:

Now you can interact with author Connie Strasheim on Facebook. She wrote Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment.

About Connie’s book: PRAISE FROM OTHER LYME AUTHORS: “A wealth of valuable information, and an excellent resource … especially for patients looking for novel, non-toxic healing therapies to augment (or possibly replace) standard allopathic therapies … this book should be in the library of all Lyme patients.” -KENNETH SINGLETON, M.D., M.P.H. Author of “The Lyme Disease Solution” “One of the most important books on Lyme disease treatment published in the past decade-an essential resource for both clinicians and those suffering from Lyme.” -STEPHEN HARROD BUHNER Author of “Healing Lyme: Natural Healing and Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis And Its Coinfections” FROM THE PUBLISHER: If you traveled the country for appointments with thirteen Lyme-literate health care practitioners, you would discover many of the cutting-edge therapies used to combat chronic Lyme disease. You would also spend thousands of dollars on hotels, plane tickets, and medical appointment fees-not to mention the time that it would take to embark on such a journey. Even if you had the time and money to travel, would the physicians have enough time to answer all of your questions? Would you even know which questions to ask? In this long-awaited book, health care journalist Connie Strasheim has done all the work for you. She conducted intensive interviews with thirteen of the world’s most competent Lyme disease healers, asking them thoughtful, important questions, and then spent months compiling their information into organized, user-friendly chapters that contain the core principles upon which they base their medical treatment of chronic Lyme disease. The specific practitioners interviewed represent a variety of medical disciplines, including allopathic, naturopathic, complementary, chiropractic, homeopathic, and energy medicine. Two European physicians were also interviewed. PHYSICIANS INTERVIEWED: * Steven J. Harris, M.D., Redwood City, CA * Steven Bock, M.D., Rhinebeck, NY * Susan Marra, M.S., N.D., Seattle, WA * Ginger Savely, DNP, San Francisco, CA * W. Lee Cowden, M.D., M.D. (H), Panama City, Panama * Ingo D. E. Woitzel, M.D., Pforzheim, Germany * Ronald Whitmont, M.D., Rhinebeck, NY * Deborah Metzger, Ph.D., M.D., Los Altos, CA * Peter J. Muran, M.D., M.B.A., San Luis Obispo, CA * Nicola McFadzean, N.D., San Diego, CA * Marlene Kunold, HCP, Hamburg, Germany * Elizabeth Hesse-Sheehan, DC, CCN, Kirkland, WA * Jeffrey Morrison, M.D., New York, NY All aspects of treatment are covered, from anti-microbial remedies and immune system support, to hormonal restoration, detoxification, dietary and lifestyle choices. Furthermore, the book ponders patient and practitioner challenges of treating chronic Lyme disease, and offers helpful insights to the friends and families of those coping with chronic illness. Patients can use this book to get new treatment ideas and to educate their local physicians. Practitioners can use it to learn about and stay current on the latest therapies. Lyme disease treatment is complex and controversial, and this book puts the treatment information you need in the palm of your hand.

Under Our Skin DVD now available!

SYNOPSIS: A gripping tale of microbes, medicine & money, UNDER OUR SKIN exposes the hidden story of Lyme disease, one of the most controversial and fastest growing epidemics of our time. Each year, thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, often told that their symptoms are “all in their head.” Following the stories of patients and physicians fighting for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of the health care system and a medical establishment all too willing to put profits ahead of patients.

At the recent Lyme/Autism Conference I had a great conversation with Steve Hines, who helped create the new Spiro Stat laboratory, which is a brand new Lyme and co-infection testing company. I don’t know much about the company yet but they have an impressive list of organisms which they say they can test for:

Borrelia afzelii
Borrelia burgdorferi
Borrelia garinii
Borrelia hermsii
Borrelia parkeri
Borrelia valasiana
Brachyspira aalborgi
Bracyspira hyodysenteriae
Ehrlichia ewingii
Francisella tularensis
Mycoplasma fermentans
Rickettsia spp (9 species)
Treponema pertenue
Treponema carateum
Treponema denticola
Coming very soon Babesia microti

As I said, I don’t know much more about the lab at this point, but I wanted to share their existence with readers. Website:

At the Lyme-Autism conference last week I had the opportunity to try a device which I was sure was a scam but now am a believer. Note: read this article with the knowledge that I have only used the device a few times and just a week ago, so no conclusive evidence as of yet. I felt compelled to write a review, however, so here is my review of the MRS 2000 Designo unit.

Have you heard the hype and conspiracy theories about Plum Island (that this was the origination of Lyme disease, created by irresponsible [or worse] US Government employed scientists)?

Well, here are a few studies that prove that tick-borne diseases were in fact studied in depth at Plum Island, right around the same time period (early 90’s) as Lyme disease began to take off. You decide what happened…

My new video on shifting your paradigm when it comes to thinking about Lyme disease treatment:

http://www.lymebook.com/lyme-disease-the-bacterial-next-door-neighbor

The Minnesota Medical Practice Board reluctantly agreed to look the other way when Lyme doctors prescribe “long term” antibiotics for Lyme disease. Does this mean Lyme patients will be flocking to MN for Lyme treatment now? At least it is progress in the right direction…

http://presspubs.com/articles/2010/03/16/vadnais_heights_press/news/doc4ba0153b5eec0480200174.txt

MINNEAPOLIS — It was a bitter pill to swallow, but members of the Minnesota Medical Practice Board agreed to look the other way when it comes to disciplining physicians who treat chronic Lyme disease with long-term antibiotics.

The resolution circumvents legislation that would protect physicians who prescribe long courses of antibiotics for persistent Lyme patients. At a House committee hearing Feb. 17, a bill by Rep. John Ward (DFL-District 12A) was laid aside to give the state board a chance to find a non-legislative solution to the treatment issue.

The compromise barely passed by a 8-6 vote at the board’s monthly meeting March 13. It basically reads that in the interest of allowing time for science to resolve the issue, the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice (MBMP) voluntarily will take a five-year moratorium on the investigation, disciplining or issuance of corrective action based solely on long-term prescription or administration of antibiotic therapy for chronic Lyme disease.

When I wrote my book entitled The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments, and included a chapter on magnesium deficiency (see the Table of Contents), some people questioned the veracity of my claim that magnesium deficiency is related to Lyme infection. Well, I’ll now share some evidence.

The date is 1997 and the place is Romania, at the Department of Clinical Immunology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy. It was seen that not one, but 3 patients had concurrent magnesium deficiency and Lyme disease, and that furthermore, the patients failed to respond to antibiotics unless magnesium deficiency was addressed first. I’ll let you read the article for yourself:

Excerpted Key Points:

In June 1997 we had under observation a 26‐year‐old man who came to the hospital for articular pain localized in both knees, cephalea, evening subfebrility starting 10 days before. During this time interval, the patient saw his family doctor who prescribed him oral anti‐inflammatory, antipyretic medication, as well as bed rest. As his general status did not improve, he was referred to the hospital with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. At the objective examination, performed in the ambulatory service, he was pale, subfebrile, sweating, with discrete splenomegaly. History revealed acute endogenous uveitis, treated with retro bulbar injections with cortisone and atropine. Laboratory examinations showed moderate anemia (Hb ∓ 11.4 g\dl; Hct ∓ 34.4%) and leukocytosis of 9.9 K\ìL. A low serum magnesium concentration was also found ‐‐ 1.21 mEq\L (14.7 mg\L). We confirmed the presence of uveitis and arthritis and proposed the continuation of anti‐inflammatory therapy associated with antibiotherapy for 7 days. After another 10 days, the patient came again, complaining of flu‐like phenomena and having an erythematous area of approximately 6 cm on the anterior face of the thigh, with satellite inguinal adenopathy. The clinical and laboratory aspects were suggestive for Lyme disease (table I and II). Read the full article

We are working on getting together some information on Lyme disease in the spanish language. Connie Strasheim, author of Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment, is bilingual, and has put together this rough draft of information. We hope to expand on it and possibly even create / translate books in spanish for the spanish-speaking population. Here is what we have so far:

Ok, so what does this have to do with Lyme disease? Nothing. I am experimenting with a new Works in Progress section of the website in order to test new book ideas. I injured my achilles tendon last year and found some incredible exercises to heal the problem; I am pretty excited about the success I had (after seeing several useless doctors) so am considering writing a small book on the topic. Before I do, however, I want to float the idea to an internet audience and see what they say. You can read what I have so far on the topic of healing achilles injuries with eccentric exercises.

I am always excited to see people with conventional scientific qualifications (e.g. letters behind their name) write about the legitimacy of Rife technology. Someone just forwarded me this PowerPoint Presentation, put together by Holly Ahern, Associate Professor of Microbiology at Adirondack Community College. She gave this presentation on Dec. 2, 2009 at the Saratoga Springs Library for the Adirondack Lyme Disease Foundation. Link: http://lymebook.com/Rife-Microscope-Holly-Ahern.ppt .

Apparently Anthony Holland, who is a professor at Skidmore College, was also at the Dec. 2 meeting. He made this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=166985105043992526&hl=en .

My research is continually leading me to biofilms. I have a lot to say on this topic but until I get my thoughts more organized, I’ll just be sharing bits and pieces. Here is a great overview of the biofilm problem by Dr. Alan McDonald:

http://www.molecularalzheimer.org/files/Biofilm_New_Haven_ppt_Read-Only_.pdf

Lyme sufferers already have reason enough to look for self employment - the flexibility, autonomy and (sometimes) work-at-home benefits are often the only conditions under which a chronically ill person can consistently bring home living wages. Pre-planned corporate schedules and the rigor of a 9 to 5 work day are usually too much for the Lyme sufferer and can lead to unemployment (and if you are lucky, disability benefits).

This is why I believe Morris Rosenthal’s web page on starting a new business and making a living may be valuable to some readers who have been considering, or should be considering, alternative means of bringing home a paycheck. If it isn’t enough to propel you into a new career of your dreams, I suspect the information will least serve to get enough juices flowing for you to evaluate if you are cut out for self-employment and if so, which roads you may want to go down and which you may wish to avoid. (I’ve learned that avoiding the wrong roads is twice as important as finding the right ones). Best of luck meeting the challenge of procuring income while at the same time being dedicated to your physical recovery.

This is not word wrapped and pretty, but it’s my working hypothesis.  Please contribute and or correct anything you deem correctible.  Never mind the mispells, that will be dealt with.  Just need your input?  Forward on to friends or someone just learning they have an autistic child.  I claim no intervention/idea/thought here is scientific, or tested or proven, but I do claim that this is what mothers gave me as their running hypothesis.  Many researchers also helped me find some interesting tidbits.

THE PERFECT STORM
by KATHY BLANCO

A “perfect storm” is an expression that describes an event where a rare combination of circumstances will aggravate a situation drastically. 
The situation of the state of our nations health is eroding rapidly.  When we study a toxin, is it never studied in context of the numerous toxins
with it, and it’s synergistic effect?  Just as we know that mecury and aluminum combine to make their neurotoxins more potent, so is the perfect storm
which gathers upon us, with every breath we take, every food we ingest, ever infection we get, and every faith and hope, that the “authorities” that regulate our
health and well being, are asleep at the switch.  This article may take you down a rabbit hole, that you may not want to read.

Dear Friend in the Lyme disease Advocacy Community: Read the full article

In my book, The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments, there is a chapter on the Marshall Protocol, which helped me tremendously in my recovery. Since the book was published, many people have said they feel the Marshall Protocol is not a valid treatment. So, I like to see other success stories similar to mine and I like to post them, to add validity and credibility to the Marshall Protocol. Here’s one that appeared today on a discussion group:

I just wanted to put out to the group that I have been using the Martial
Protocol now for 6 months. I don’t post much on here but if anyone wants to know
more I would be willing to answer, and I will try and keep and update on how I
am doing.

I like others have tried many things, spent alot of money. I came across the MP
about 2 yrs ago and wasn’t willing to try it. Due to nothing else working was
willing to give it a try with not much trust in it, but it is cheaper and I
needed to do something more. But to my surprise it is working.

I want to say I also rife on a regular basis and have great herxes from this. I
purchased the Doug Coil Machine not quiet a year ago. I herx for Mycoplasm,
Bartonella, and Lyme, I have played with times and how often I treat. I do one
every week for 30 min a time and rotate the 3, and this seems to be working. If
I do too much, my nervous system gets way out of wack.

The MP consists of taking a blood pressure pill called Olmetec every 6 hrs, and
a low dose of Minocycline and a diet consisting of no VIt D, you never get above
the dose of 100mg, you are on this for about a year, called phase one. Then
another small dose of ABX is introduced along with the above. This is called
phase 2.

I am amazed at where I am at today, I almost gave up in believing anything
worked for us lymies. I am able to have many more good days than bad, I still
have the bad, but they pass and are tolerable, I have had symtpoms that have
left that I look back on and say to myself, was it really that bad. I sleep now,
I may have the odd bad night. My headaches have cleared, I get the odd one, but
mainly stress brings them on. I actually have the energy to endulge in things I
enjoy. My depression use to be so dark at times, now I can handle it much better
before I spiral down and can’t see the light.

I have an amazing, passionate doctor who also has lyme and his wife. He was an
MD and saw his wife suffer, untill one day, he said enough. He is now an
Integretive Doctor and he and his wife are well. He has a very busy practice
and takes time on his own at home to answer patient emails. He makes very little
money on treating lyme patients in his practice, and this to me speaks huge
volumes about his passion for helping people.

Be Well, Keri

Coffee is bad for you, right? Or at least, the caffeine is…….right? Not quite. In fact, this year, research has shown that coffee prevents parkinson’s disease, protects the liver, and boosts mental clarity. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that it isn’t just the caffeine in coffee that does this - decaf coffee has similar health effects. Some experts say that the coffee bean is the most nutritious and anti-oxidant packed food most americans eat on an average day.

I avoided coffee for years due to the stigma that it is “bad for me” but recently began drinking decaf coffee. On the last 10% of my Lyme recovery, I found that consuming decaf coffee has actually had tremendous benefit for me, and that is what inspired this blog post. I will probably avoid caffeinated coffee due to the potential health effects of caffeine, but if you are a Lyme sufferer who has been avoiding coffee, you might discuss with your doctor the possibility of giving some decaf coffee a try.

It has long been known that coffee enemas aid in detoxification. I don’t do enemas; or colonics; I simply can’t handle the thought of such procedures. However, perhaps drinking coffee has a similar detoxification effect? Having shoved massive quantities of antimicrobial herbs and drugs down my throat over the years, I can say with certainty that the effects of coffee (benefits) for me are not antimicrobial but are instead related to detoxification, especially of the liver. As a complement, I’m also beginning to take Milk thistle again starting today, perhaps my liver needs more help than I guessed it did.

In any case, maybe its time for us Lyme sufferers to give Coffee a second look!

But this is just my opinion. If you happen to be wondering how Lyme physicians are treating Lyme disease in their practices, now you can find out in our most recently published book, Insights Into Lyme Disease Treatment. You can learn more here.

Every year, there is a new buzzword in the Lyme disease community. For a year or two, everyone focuses on the buzzword, and researchers and physicians are in a frenzy to find new treatments for the buzzword. Supplement companies go banannas making money on the buzzword.

In 2009, the buzzword is “biofilms.” I’m not exactly sure how much biofilms really have to do with Lyme disease, and how much of it is just ”the word of the year buzz.” I’ll leave that to the experts to decide. But, one of the interesting factors when it comes to biofilms, and the reason I’m even writing about it, is that this buzzword may be a clue as to why rife machines may work to treat Lyme disease.

That’s right, folks. I (Bryan Rosner) signed up for my first multi-level marketing company EVER. I have never signed up before because I haven’t believed in the product enough until now. Here’s my story with EIRO. Learn more about Eiro here.

I would not have signed up for this unless I believed that the product was valuable and helpful. It has helped me personally and some people I have known.

I cannot talk about the specific medical benefits of the product - that would be “making medical claims” but I did put together a little video on my perspective on Eiro.

NOTE: Eiro also has an energy drink. The product I’ve used and benefited from is just the plain Eiro juice, not the energy product.
