Zona Plus for Blood Pressure

You really can lower blood pressure with this device, The Zona Plus, and we still have no reports of anyone having a fatal heart attack while on Beyond Chelation Improved. Looks like a perfect combination,  but when there is a history of prior blood clots, Boluoke  should be added at least for a time. Continued

Vitamin D and Multiple Sclerosis

Dear Reader,

You don’t hear much about multiple sclerosis — mostly because it’s a disease that continues to stump doctors and researchers. While there are a handful of treatments that can alleviate some of the symptoms, there’s no cure for it. But last month, researchers from the UK and Canada did even better. They made a discovery that may prevent it from occurring in the first place. Continued

Contaminated Drinking Water in Our Schools

Drinking water in schools is clearly unsafe; lead is just the tip of the iceberg.
Once we educate everyone, then someday we will have reverse osmosis (RO) units in schools but that will take a long time. In the meantime water is merely one source of toxins now found in everyone so maybe the answer is to put Zeolite in everyone to help filter this stuff out before it gets more concentrated in our tissues like brain and heart.

Healthy Babies Require Well Nourished Mothers.

This latest research should help encourage all pregnant women to measure their urine levels of vitamin C with the C STIX repeatedly during pregnancy. Anyone with the green color essentially has scurvy and their offspring’s brain health will be impaired. Continued

Lyme and Infection Control with ACS 200

[Originally posted to FACT forum on Wed May 27, 2009 11:51 am]

Lyme seems suddenly to be everywhere and now we learn that most of us have Cytomegalic Virus too. This new research helps explain the sudden increase in Lyme world wide!

This information combined with the CMV research should be enough that, when considered altogether, leads me to believe that soon infections might overtake all other challenges including toxins, heavy metals, food sensitivities etcetera, as the key missing culprit that must be dealt with in all chronic disease patients if you are to see real lasting results!

Lyme disease: A Challenging Diagnosis

[Originally posted to FACT forum on Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:03 pm]

This article in the NY TIMES changes everything for Lyme disease patients.

Finally our doctors may not have to fight to keep their medical licenses when they are brave enough to become LYME LITERATE DOCTORS.

This article will clearly change the terrain, as it states that the diagnosis is complex and that antibiotic treatment is warranted in spite of negative test results since there are so many false negative and false positive results. It quotes the May issue of the Mayo Clinic proceedings that says patients are best diagnosed by SYMPTOMS. Continued

Tick-borne infections, Lyme borreliosis and autism spectrum

[Originally posted to FACT forum on Tue Jun 24, 2008 12:15 pm]

What should you focus on to help the most patients? Putting good things in, or getting bad things out, or killing some of the infections we all have? The answer is beginning to be clear; it is NOT EITHER/ OR but EVERYTHING!

The front cover of Time June 6 2008 has a picture of a baby and the key article is The Truth About Vaccines. For once it admits there is a problem and that many are going to opt out of vaccinating their children. There are other useful comments in their article but I draw your attention to their conclusion that GENETICS and ENVIROMENTAL exposures must be behind the increase in AUTISM. Continued

Bacterial and Viral Infections in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Whatever the chronic neurologic disease condition you are treating, the probability of a chronic infection contributing to the disease is extremely high! Garth Nicolson PhD has presented this information to ACAM and other organizations and was the first one to identify the infection component of Gulf War Syndrome.

Chronic Bacterial and Viral Infections in Neurodegenerative and Neurobehavioral Diseases

Garth L. Nicolson, PhD
(Department of Molecular Pathology, The Institute for Molecular Medicine, Huntington Beach, CA)

DOI: 10.1309/96M3BWYP42L11BFU/

Abstract

Often, patients with neurodegenerative or neurobehavioral diseases have chronic, neuropathic infections that could be important in disease inception, disease progression, or increasing the types or severities of signs and symptoms. Although controversial, the majority of patients with various neurodegenerative or neurobehavioral conditions, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and autistic spectrum disorders, show evidence of central nervous system or systemic bacterial and viral infections. For example, using serology or polymerase chain reaction evidence of Chlamydia pneumoniae, Borrelia burgdorferi, Mycoplasma species, human herpesvirus-1 and -6, and other bacterial and viral infections revealed high infection rates that were not found in control subjects. Although chronic infections were not found in some studies, and the specific role of chronic infections in neurological disease pathogenesis has not been determined or is inconclusive, the data suggest that chronic bacterial or viral infections could be common features of progressive neurodegenerative and neurobehavioral diseases.

Military issues, related to service in the military

While I have no doubt this retired lieutenant colonel was diagnosed with Lyme disease,  my question is, has/was any thought given to how many chemical toxins he was exposed to during his military career?? 

With a full career in the military this poor guy was shot full of vaccines!!  How dirty were those vaccines.  Many say that vaccines can and has given patients, especially military personnel.

Lord knows the foods he was fed no doubt were GMO foods?

Bottom-line, we NEED to stop labeling everything with the word “Lyme”!  We need to focus on detoxing environmental toxins, and the poisons in GMO foods.   Plus, if we get word of the work “Lyme” no doubt more insurance companies would pay for treatments.  After all, Lyme symptoms can and are labeled with Fibro, Arthritis, Alzheimers, etc., etc., etc.

Keep your thinking caps on folks, there is more than one way to win this war against the diseases we are dealing with today!!

Drwal drops election bid due to conditions
Medical issues related to service in military
BY JENNIFER BOOTON Staff Writer

Drwal, a 24-year veteran of the U.S. Army who retired as a lieutenant colonel after serving in various regions around the world, has been dealing with military-related injuries for over a decade.

“I had a couple of injuries when I was in the military,” he said. “I suffered injuries to both of my legs, which caused walking problems, and I suffered some neurological problems that affected speech and balance.”

Drwal, a member of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 67, also suffered from a tick-related disease while he was abroad, although the symptoms did not surface until years later.

“Last year I got really sick, and it turns out I had Lyme disease, and they are finding more and more troops that have been stationed in Europe have been coming down with it,” he said. “It just came on last year, attacking my joints and my neurological system.”

We Are All ‘Living In A Sea Of Toxins’

Mark Hyman MD has done an excellent job at the 13th Annual Functional Medicine Conference of organizing thoughts about the EFFECTS of environmental and exogenous chemicals on our health, and why blood testing underestimates the extent of the problem.

I draw your attention to a few paragraphs from his extensive presentation, which discusses some of the impact of chemicals and toxins on our health.

LIVING IN A SEA OF TOXINS: THE PROBLEM

Why should we worry about toxins unless we work with toxic chemicals or spray pesticides for a living? Isn’t exposure minimal? Unfortunately, risks of exposure are substantial, pose significant public health risks, and can no longer be ignored. Continued
