About three years ago, the balls of my feet began to hurt and my toes were going numb while I was running. It got worse and worse until it was hard to walk too many steps in a day. 3 podiatrists, cortisone shots, sonograms, and an MRI turned up nothing. 

My wife of 18+ years has had Lyme for 25+ years, but was just diagnosed a few months ago. Working on a guess that I might have contracted Lyme from her (as an STD), I bought a used EMEM from a nice person on this board.

I gave myself a treatment directed at my feet (2m@432, 2m@800, 2m@4328, 2m@10K) before bed one night last week. I could feel electrical pops every couple of seconds in my feet at 432 and 800. I woke up the next morning with no pain in my feet. It lasted for five days, longer than I’ve been pain free for a couple of years. I’ve followed it up with another treatment to not as good an effect, but I’m patient.

In a word, I’m stunned. I was a HUGE skeptic, and here I have evidence it works, at least for me.

I don’t know that I have lyme, but I apparently have something, and the EMEM is working.

The interviewee in this chapter, Dr. Nicola McFadzean, ND, also recently published her own excellent book on Lyme disease dietary guidelines.

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:

Informacion de Lyme Disease en Espanol, Spanish

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.

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

Bryan,

I am writing to thank you for your excellent books, which helped me cure my 21-year-old son, and to tell you a few things we discovered in the process.  Our treatment process could not be easily reproduced just anywhere, but it was very effective, and I feel an obligation to let somebody know about what we did that worked.  You seem like the best choice of “somebody”!

In June, 2007, my son was in London (where we had lived for 17 years before moving back to the States) doing an internship at a hedge fund.  He was perfectly healthy (as far as we knew, anyway!) when he started.  However, one week into the internship, he began having leg pains, and from there advanced (or perhaps I should say declined) rapidly to severe pain, exhaustion, and the onset of Bell’s Palsy only four weeks later.  The conventional medical establishment tried various things, and then a blood test came back positive SIMULTANEOUSLY for Lyme, Epstein-Barr, and walking pneumonia.  The minute they saw the Bell’s Palsy, they wanted to put him on IV antibiotics for neurological Lyme.  They threatened permanent brain damage if we did not commence cefalo-something immediately, and put enormous pressure on me to follow their recommendations.

My son is both extremely gifted, and also significantly autistic spectrum.  Because of the autistic spectrum issues, I knew enough about mercury and it’s inter-relatedness with Lyme to be leery of the quick-fix-antibiotic theory.  The more I read on the internet, the more I became convinced that ESPECIALLY in this sort of co-infection case, antibiotics were the road to long-term difficulties.  Then, mercifully, I found your books (at the Hale Clinic, the best of London’s health stores).  From you, I began to understand WHY antibiotics might not be a great choice:  a) antibiotics weaken the immune system in general, so if you are co-infected the best you can hope for is that the antibiotic will help with the Lyme but everything else may get worse as your immune system suffers; and b) since the spirochete morphs, the antibiotic probably will not really treat the Lyme effectively anyway, by that stage.

Using what I learned from your books in conjunction with my other alternative healing resources in London, we put together a treatment program which proved extremely effective.  In particular, I worked with a fabulous acupuncturist, and an alternative physician who is an MD but believes in using non-pharma treatments when they are the best thing for the patient (which is often the case).  The MD came to think that the most likely explanation of his sudden decline was a protozoan infestation which knocked out his immune system and created a field day for anything else that was there lying in wait.
Our treatment plan consisted of:

* IV Vitamin C and other nutrients — I don’t know all the details of what my alternative physician put in the drips, but the Vitamin C in particular was spectacular for “mopping up” all the neurotoxins and inflammatories, thus providing substantial symptom relief and also reducing the burden of what his body had to struggle to eliminate.

* Daily acupuncture — several sets of needles every day, 7 days a week: some for symptom management, some for strengthening his system to fight the various invaders.  Acupuncture is particularly effective for treating Bell’s Palsy, which is considered by the Chinese to be merely a chi shortage in a weak channel, and very susceptible of treatment.  Using a combination of acupuncture and IV Vitamin C, we were able to completely eliminate the Bell’s Palsy in two weeks (starting from a case so severe that he could not talk or eat without using his hand to pinch the left side of his mouth closed).  The conventional doctors had said that it would take months, ranging even up to a year.

* Chinese herbs — sent by our acupuncturist’s mentor from China, where they apparently have plenty of experience with Lyme.  These were apparently high-quality herbs, harvested in remote mountain regions so that they retained their strength & purity in a way that commonly available herbs sometimes do not.  I do not know what all was included, but apparently artemisinin was among the ingredients.

* A rotation of non-pharma treatments including Samento, colloidal silver, etc to keep the spirochete on the defensive.

* Various homeopathic treatments, some included in the IV’s, and others taken by mouth.  Among the treatments used were remedies from Sanum (see https://www.helios.co.uk/sanum/Sanum%20Intro.html) which are in the tradition of Enderlein remedies, homeopathic remedies which (as I understand it) are taken by the patient but targeted at the spirochete, to cause it to morph back into a form which the immune system can manage.

* Nutritional supplements, again directed at building the body’s ability to defend itself.

* Eventually, as he was recovering, we added a Rife machine which he began using regularly to help root out the remaining spirochetes.  He also used other frequencies to target viral, bacterial, and protozoan invaders.

All of the treatment was guided by the use of sophisticated muscle testing (sometimes called applied kinesiology, or autonomic response testing) to select treatments and Rife frequencies.  Our alternative physician has many trays of small vials, both of pathogens and of possible treatments, and he uses them (in conjunction with his medical knowledge) to muscle test so as to choose which of many possible treatments to use at a given time, based on the body’s response.

My son first became ill the second week in June.  By four weeks later, he had severe pain and fatigue, and the Bell’s Palsy had robbed him of all control of the left side of his face, and perhaps half of the control of the right side.  At that point, we made the choice to adopt our combination of non-pharma treatments.  Within one week, the Bell’s Palsy was mostly gone and he was pink again (rather than that awful scary blue color he had become).  By the end of the second week, his dimples were fully-functioning again (ie the Bell’s Palsy was completely gone).  At the end of the fourth week of treatment, he announced in a tone of amazement that he thought he felt good enough to play Super Mario again!
At the end of the seventh week of treatment, he returned to Williams College in Massachusetts to begin his junior year.  He was still plagued by pain in his joints & elsewhere, and he had severe unpredictable intermittent herx reactions, and he had no stamina or resilience to speak of — but he was improved enough to be able to carry a 3-course load (one shy of the normal 4) and he made it successfully through the year, healing gradually.  In November, ill as he was, he took the Putnam Exam (national college-level mathematics contest) and placed among the top 100 students nationwide.  (So much for permanent brain damage!)  He returned to London in October, at Christmas, in March, and in June for further acupuncture and IV treatments, and adjustment of his supplements etc based on further muscle testing.
By June 2006, a year after onset and 11 months into the treatment, his body seemed to be managing the pathogens reasonably well, although his energy level was still not back to normal.  He was able to participate fully in a summer mathematics research program, and then (15 months into treatment) carry a full academic load for his senior year.  He continues to visit London every 4-6 months, to use the Rife machine, and to take both Chinese herbs and a much-reduced assortment of other supplements and treatments.  He is planning to take a low-key gap year before heading to graduate school, because he wants to make sure he gets his full strength back, and also because the past couple of years have been very tiring emotionally as you can imagine.  But he is mostly WELL!!!!! with only the occasional very minor herx, after he uses the rife machine and/or when he is very very tired.

I believe the keys to our success story were:

* the good fortune of my finding your books when I needed them, so that we did not ever get started in the downward spiral of antibiotics;

* the good fortune of our having enormously gifted, creative, dedicated healers in the persons of our acupuncturist and our alternative physician in London (whom I found separately, so that they did not even know each other, but were nonetheless able to support one another’s work);

* the use of kinesiology to make the treatments as responsive as possible to what his particular body needed specifically at a given stage;

* the good fortune of having the financial resources to do what we wanted, since the insurance company paid for virtually none of the treatment; and

* my son’s faithful adherence to his treatment regimen, through a long and discouraging illness.

People ask me what our treatment was, hoping to offer suggestions to someone they know who is afflicted.  Unfortunately, this is not a treatment plan which can be reproduced in a mechanical fashion.  It relies on the presence of two very gifted healers, working together.  It cost a lot of money, mainly due to the frequency of acupuncture required.  There is no “formula” which could then be used on someone else; rather, much of what they did was very specific to my son’s particular vulnerabilities, and would have to be different for a different patient — although of course certainly some of it was particular to the pathogens.

On the other hand, I feel that we have been enormously successful in triumphing over this illness, and surely somebody somewhere would benefit by knowing what we were able to do.  I don’t know whether you will be able to do anything with this information, but I wanted to send it to you, just in case.

Thank you again for your pioneering work which gave me the information I needed at a crucial moment to find the right way forward.

Yours sincerely,

Janet

My answer:

This is an excerpt from my book, Lyme Disease & Rife Machines, http://www.lymeandrifebook.com which explains my opinion on this topic. Needless to say, Lyme brains are already messed up by Lyme, and the antidepressant drugs rarely “behave” as they should. Be careful.

Excerpt:

—

Another problem experienced by almost all Lyme Disease sufferers, especially during herx reactions, is depression.  In Lyme Disease, depression can be caused by a variety of physiological problems in the brain resulting from neurotransmitter imbalances, hormone imbalances, the physical presence of the infection, Borrelia neurotoxins, systemic metabolic disturbances, etc. 

Here again the strategy of conventional doctors, often even LLMDs, is to prescribe chemical drugs that “alleviate” depression by changing brain chemistry.  Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are usually the drug of choice.  These drugs have many unwanted side effects including the incidence of unpleasant mental symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, hyperactivity, and more.  These side effects are particularly undesirable for a Lyme Disease sufferer because they already occur as part of the disease process itself! 

And let us not forget that the FDA just issued the king of all paradoxical warnings for ALL anti-depressant drugs:  The “black box” warning that states antidepressant drugs cause suicidal thoughts and ideation.

Another reason to avoid antidepressant drugs is that it is very important for Lyme Disease sufferers to be able to accurately assess their symptoms at any given time.  Self-symptom assessment is one of the most effective tools in determining which therapies work, which don’t, and what it feels like to get better or worse. 

A Lyme Disease sufferer already has enough brain imbalances caused by the infection; taking a drug to induce more unnatural brain changes is obviously not a smart idea.  Feeding brain chemistry-altering drugs to someone whose brain is already completely thrown off due to an infection can cause a confusing, dangerous roller coaster ride of symptoms.

PEMF is helpful in treating the symptoms of many types of depression and in some cases can be a substitute for taking chemical antidepressants.

In a February 2004 Science and Society article, Marianne Szegedy-Maszak reported that severely depressed patients who were taking pharmaceutical drugs for treatment and underwent brain evaluation with MRI machines actually ended up experiencing dramatic improvement in their depression from the MRI machine itself.  A patient who had been so depressed she could barely speak became ebullient after the 45-minute brain scan. Then a second patient, who seemed incapable of even a wan smile, emerged actually telling jokes.  The article concludes that in theory, since the brain itself is an electromagnetic organ, stimulation with electromagnetic energy appears to be beneficial in depression and possibly other illnesses such as Schizophrenia and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

I used the frequency generator on a Friday night at about 4 intensity
with the recommended frequencies in the book.
The next morning I used some settings that were further in the book.
All for lyme.
After program 208 which was in the 900 frequency range. My bowels let
loose and I had a major heart arrythmia.
Then for the next week plus I have had major heart problems. Just not
in sync or something.
I will NEVER use a rife again.
Anyone else ever have this problem.????
I am very concerned I did permanent damage.

————-

My response:

When I was my sickest, I had heart herxheimer reactions that made my heart pound so hard people could hear it in the room, and I had horrible pain, and arrythmias, and even passed out once after a rife treatment. In my opinion these are herx reactions not side effects. It makes no sense that they would be side effects. It just so happens that Lyme is very common in the heart and other people do not experience any heart side effects to any rife machines. Of course I am not a doctor so I cannot tell anyone what to do or not do. But I am very convinced these are herx reactions.

Nonetheless as herx reactions they can STILL be dangerous!

Over the past few months, I have created one video which overviews the Marshall Protocol and one video which provides practical instructions for using the protocol. Hopefully you have found these videos to be helpful. 

Today I am going to share a video put together by Amy Proal, author of the Bacteriality
Blog. Her video is very, very comprehensive and goes into detail on all aspects of the Marshall Protocol. I highly recommend watching it (below). Comprehensive at 89 minutes, this video is a must-see for anyone considering the Marshall Protocol.

One of the most fascinating aspects of her video, in my opinion, is that she talks about a topic which I have always known to be true: that cephalosporin antibiotics (also known as beta lactims) actually PROMOTE formation of dangerous l-form bacteria, meaning that using antibiotics such as penicillin, amoxicillin, or rocephin, can lead to a worsening of chronic disease. This is a must-watch video!

An Overview of the Marshall Protocol from Amy Proal on Vimeo.

The biblical concept of sowing and reaping has always intrigued me.  There is a barbaric and creepy example of it in Judges 1.  The Israelites go in and capture a local king, Adoni-Bezek, and they cut off his thumbs and big toes.  Yikes! Then he says, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table.  Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.”

I love to listen to Joyce Meyer.  The other day she said, “If you sow to the flesh, you reap to the flesh.  If you sow to the spirit, you reap life.”  I couldn’t help but relate it to my lymie physical flesh.  I thought, “If you eat sugar to the flesh, you reap candida to the flesh.  If you drink coffee to the flesh, you reap jitters and sleeplessness to the flesh.  If you don’t detox the flesh you reap migraine, fatigue and acidosis to the flesh.”

And that got me to thinking about the seeds I have sown in my mind. 

In the course of my Lyme education I have gained tons of knowledge about Lyme, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, babesia, ehrlichia, bartonella, mycoplasm fermentans, various and sundry parasites, candida, and any other number of microbials, including malaria and West Nile Virus.  Because of the knowledge I gained, I developed a mindset that it is impossible to kill them all.  Over the course of time “my coodies” became my friends.   My identity became “steaming vat of coodie soup.”

I want to be like the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 who just touched the hem of Jesus’ robe and was instantly healed.  I reread the story the other day and was reminded of the fact that before she was healed she had been bleeding for twelve years!  A couple months ago I had pneumonia for the second time in less than a year.  In my fatigue and sickness I prayed, “Jesus, heal me or take me.  I don’t care which.  I just don’t want to live like this.”  I felt desperate, like the woman in Mark 5.

Watching from my sick bed, Joyce Meyer spoke on the attitudes of the mind and she exhorted, “Come on, give the Holy Spirit something to work with!”  It hit me like giant herx – I have sown bad seeds in my mind.  No wonder I don’t like my harvest.
I stopped focusing on the impossible and began to sow God’s healing Word into my mind:

• Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:  Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.  Psalm 103:2,3

• Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.  Proverbs 12:18

• A cheerful heart is good medicine, but the crushed spirit dries up the bones.  Proverbs 17:22

• Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.  Proverbs 16:24

• All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.  Proverbs 15:15

• The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?  When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.  Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.  Psalm 27:1-3

This one I love:

• Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.  He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.  Psalm 126:5,6

I am no longer a steaming vat of coodie soup.  I am once again Bonnie, child of God, created in His image.
