I am being treated by a new technology called Energy Enhancement System and you can read more at www.eesystem.com ……These treatments are helping me to eliminate the EMF/EMR’s from my body.  The exciting thing about these treatments is I take my lifelong daily detox protocol FIGHT before I enter the room for a 2 hour session….the system ENHANCES the protects I am taking for the FIGHT program.
There are many who are buying these systems for their homes….I wish I could afford a system.
 
Please read all the information below regarding EMF/EMR and learn.  When a chronically ill person is getting too much EMF/EMR they can will not reach the wellness level they want to reach.

Excerpt:
A report that cited more than 2,000 studies found that chronic exposure to even low-level radiation (like that from cell phones) can cause a variety of cancers, impair immunity, and contribute to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, heart disease, and many other ailments. One likely way: EMFs open the blood-brain barrier, causing blood vessels to leak fluid into the brain and damage neurons.

What’s more, a less–well known kind of EMF, known as “dirty” or transient electricity #, may play an even more damaging role. Transients are largely by-products of modern energy-efficient electronics and appliances—from computers, refrigerators, and plasma TVs to compact fluorescent light bulbs and dimmer switches—which tamp down the electricity they use. This manipulation of current creates a wildly fluctuating and potentially dangerous electromagnetic field that essentially charges up the electrons in every cell of your body. Some research suggests that by overlapping the body’s signaling mechanisms, transients may interfere with the secretion of insulin, drown out the call and response of the immune system, and cause other physical havoc.

More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood http://lymebook.com/fight/more-than-200-chemicals-in-newborn-umbilical-cord-blood/ http://lymebook.com/fight/more-than-200-chemicals-in-newborn-umbilical-cord-blood/#respond Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:52:15 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=789 Linda’s comments:  Chemicals in newborns….sounds very scary and disgusting, but a mom carrying an unborn baby is dumping all her poisons and toxins into the baby.  So, if you are wearing perfumes, body lotions, etc., etc., etc. and eating bad foods, then your unborn child will be the recipient of all that garbage.  Pretty sickening isn’t it??

Dr Doris Rapp, MD, a world renowned pediatrician has tried for many years to education the world about all the toxins and chemical’s our children are born with.  She has written many books trying to warn doctors and parents about these horrible exposures our children are being slammed with.
 
Those of us who are chronically ill have carried many of these poisonous toxins and pathogens around with us for years.  We become ill and our bodies can not heal because of the body burden of pathogens and toxins.

consumers are in control and do not realize it.  Ok, so what do we do with our toxic bodies.  We can begin by getting on a lifelong detox program.  We can find the products that will help neutralize these toxins and pathogens and take them daily.  I did, and IT WORKS.

Tests Find More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood
Study commissioned by environmental group finds high levels of chemicals in U.S. minority infants
By Sara Goodman

U.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.

The Environmental Working Group’s study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.

“We know the developing fetus is one of the most vulnerable populations, if not the most vulnerable, to environmental exposure,” said Anila Jacobs, EWG senior scientist. “Their organ systems aren’t mature and their detox methods are not in place, so cord blood gives us a good picture of exposure during this most vulnerable time of life.”

Bacteria isolated from parasitic nematodes…a potential novel vector of pathogens? http://lymebook.com/fight/bacteria-isolated-from-parasitic-nematodesa-potential-novel-vector-of-pathogens/ http://lymebook.com/fight/bacteria-isolated-from-parasitic-nematodesa-potential-novel-vector-of-pathogens/#respond Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:51:53 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=718 Bacterial pathogens are ubiquitous in soil and water – concurrently so are free-living helminths that feed on bacteria. These helminths fall into two categories; the non-parasitic and the parasitic. The former have been the focus of previous work, finding that bacterial pathogens inside helminths are conferred survival advantages over and above bacteria alone in the environment, and that accidental ingestion of non-parasitic helminths can cause systemic infection in vertebrate hosts. Here, we determine the potential for bacteria to be associated with parasitic helminths. After culturing helminths from fecal samples obtained from livestock the external bacteria were removed. Two-hundred parasitic helminths from three different species were homogenised and the bacteria that were internal to the helminths were isolated and cultured. Eleven different bacterial isolates were found; of which eight were indentified. The bacteria identified included known human and cattle pathogens. We concluded that bacteria of livestock can be isolated in parasitic helminths and that this suggests a mechanism by which bacteria, pathogenic or otherwise, can be transmitted between individuals. The potential for helminths to play a role as pathogen vectors poses a potential livestock and human health risk. Further work is required to assess the epidemiological impact of this finding

Do infections trigger juvenile idiopathic arthritis? http://lymebook.com/fight/do-infections-trigger-juvenile-idiopathic-arthritis/ http://lymebook.com/fight/do-infections-trigger-juvenile-idiopathic-arthritis/#respond Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:01:04 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=697 Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology Department, Cerrahpasa Medical
Faculty, Istanbul University, Kocamustafapasa, 34303, Istanbul, Turkey.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a disease that was prominent with
increased inflammation response in immune system, appeared mostly with
peripheral arthritis and endogenous and exogenous antigens play a role
in the pathogenesis of disease. Two major reasons were thinking to be
considerably important. First of them is immunological predisposition
and the second one is environmental factors.

Infections are considered to be the most important between environmental factors but also stress and trauma are also important in the etiology of the disease. However,
the relation between JIA and infections is not clearly defined but the
relation between adult chronic arthritis and infections was
well-defined. A total of 70 patients, 26 with primer JIA, 20 with
recurrent JIA, 24 healthy control were included in this study.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae and C. Jejuni were
detected in 4, 1 and 1 of 10 (38.46%) patients with primer JIA,
respectively. Salmonella enteritidis, EBV, M. pneumoniae, C. jejuni and
Borrelia burgdorferi were detected in 1, 2, 2, 2, and 1 of the 8(40%)
patients with recurrent JIA, respectively. S. enteritidis were isolated
in feces culture and also identified by agglutination method. Infection
was detected in total 18 (39.13%) of patient groups. C. pneumoniae and
C. jejuni were detected in 1 and 1 of 2(8.33) healthy control groups,
respectively. Throat culture positivity was not detected in any of the
patient and healthy control groups. In conclusion, etiopathogenesis of
JIA is not clearly understood and suggested that various factors can
trigger the disease and it is the most common rheumatoid disease of
childhood. However, there are some studies focusing especially on one
infectious agent but this is the first study including such a big range
of infectious agents in the literature for the microorganisms that can
be suggested to have a role in the etiopathogenesis of JIA. We have a
conclusion in the light of our results and suggest that some
microorganisms can trigger and increase the intensity of clinical
situation according to the case. When we evaluate the primer and
recurrent JIA groups; M. pneumoniae and C. jejuni come forward and seen
common in JIA cases. We also suggest that the pre-diagnosis of
microorganisms, which can play a role as primarily or by intervening in
the etiopathogenesis of JIA and adding specific antimicrobial therapy to
the standard JIA therapy, it is possible to perform new, extended,
especially molecular based serial case studies.
