Excerpt:

Lyme disease is a vector-borne multisystem inflammatory disease
caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. This
disease is frequently seen in North America and to a lesser
degree in Europe. However, its presence in England is uncommon
and we present a case in which the patient developed a palsy of
the common peroneal nerve.

Linda’s comments: Linda’s comment:  This is the reasons why I try and guide people to make their own healthcare choices and learn all they can about holistic/alternative medicine….There are wayyyyyyyyyy to many folks with Lyme disease who are given these products…..<sigh>

Levaquin and Cipro Reactions

In 2001, Dr. Jay S. Cohen published a ground-breaking article* on the severe and often disabling reactions some people sustained while taking Levaquin, Cipro, or another FQ antibiotic. Dr. Cohen says, “It is difficult to describe the severity of these reactions. They are devastating. Many of the people in my study were healthy before their reactions. Some were high intensity athletes. Suddenly they were disabled, in terrible pain, unable to work, walk, or sleep.” 
The 45 subjects in Dr. Cohen’s study reported the following side effects*.

Peripheral Nervous System

: Tingling, numbness, prickling, burning pain, pins/needles sensation, electrical or shooting pain, skin crawling, sensation, hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia, allodynia (sensitivity to touch), numbness, weakness, twitching, tremors, spasms.

Central Nervous System:

 

Dizziness, malaise, weakness, impaired coordination, nightmares, insomnia, headaches, agitation, anxiety, panic attacks, disorientation, impaired concentration or memory, confusion, depersonalization, hallucinations, psychoses.

Linda’s comment:  ALERT….COPY AND PASTE THIS TO  EVERYONE YOU CAN…SEND TO YOUR ADDRESS BOOK AND ANYWHERE ELSE YOU CAN POST.

IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY, PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS OF YOUR TIME AND SIGN THE PETITION AT THE LINK BELOW.

AS AN ADVOCATE, I HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS WRITING LETTERS AND ARTICLES AND TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF THE LYME COMMUNITY, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT.
 
IT IS IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE. ALTHOUGH YOU MAY BE WORKING WITH YOUR OWN HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN A FAVORABLE WAY, THE CLIMATE REMAINS DIFFICULT IN OTHER STATES. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS ENDEAVOR BY CIRCULATING THE PETITION TO YOUR GROUP MEMBERS.
 
I ASKED A LEADER OF THE ARIZONA LYME DISEASE ASSOCIATION, WHOSE MEMBERS.ARE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE ARIZONA STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT BY CIRCULATING IT AMONG HIS MEMBERS. HE REFUSED TO SO SO. I FIND IT ALARMING THAT A SUPPORT GROUP LEADER WOULD DENY HIS MEMBERS THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE THEIR FREE WILL AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION AS TO SIGNING A PETITION THAT WOULD DIRECTLY IMPACT THEIR HEALTH.
 
THEREFORE, I AM CIRCULATING THE PETITION ONCE MORE TO GARNER MORE SIGNATURES AND AM REQUESTING THAT OTHER PATIENTS AND ADVOCATES SIGN THE PETITION IN SUPPORT.
 
PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL ON YOUR LISTS AND ON FACEBOOK, ALSO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROJECT AND A BIG THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY RESPONDED.

Simultaneous presence of A. phagocytophilum and different genospecies of B.
burgdorferi s.l. complex was recorded in 16 ticks, co-infection with
different B. burgdorferi s. l. genospecies was found in 15 ticks and eight
ticks harbored mixed infections with F. tularensis and B. burgdorferi s.l.
genospecies. Less common were triple pathogen species infections, detected
in three ticks, one infected with A. phagocytophilum / B. burgdorferi s.s. /
B. lusitaniae and two infected with F. tularensis / B. burgdorferi s.s. / B.
lusitaniae. No mixed infections of A. phagocytophilum and F. tularensis were
detected.

Linda’s comment:  WHEN I was first diagnosed, they diagnosed me with SLE, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and a host of other autoimmune disease…I remember when a group member, whom I’m not close friends with, said, “no, you have lyme disease and co-infections”…I thought he was nuts….didn’t take long until I realized, after hours  and hours of research that HE WAS RIGHt….I even had carotid surgery, as a spirochete was wrapped around the carotid and choking me….the idiot doctors, argued with me that it was not Lyme…it wasn’t until 6 months later when I finally got my hands on the pathology report, with the pathologists requesting more testing using specific dyes, did I know….THANK GOD for my alternative docs who diagnosed me and alternative treatments began….

Excerpt:

A 
number of studies previously published, and new information presented 
here, suggest that EA infections may be an underlying, undiagnosed cause 
for these and other immune system diseases. This hypothesis, long 
overlooked, has never been subjected to adequate, rigorous study 
sufficient to prove or disprove its truth. If so, patients may be 
treated with antibiotics, and marrow transplant manipulations already 
used in treatment of diseases such as lupus and leukemia may become more 
effective.

Linda’s comment: The first Swiss patient with meningovasculitis due to neuroborreliosis, with recurrent multiple ischemic strokes in multiple vascular territories is evident in clinical manifestation of borreliosis. Strokes have also been found with patients with Bartonella.

Excerpt:

I know that there’ll be a better day

When the clouds break and the sun shines my way

When all my troubles are kept at bay…

But that day is not today

 

I know that better times are ahead

When I will feel like getting out of bed

When my body wont weigh so heavy like lead…

But for now those are just words to be said

 

I know there will be a better time

When I wont spend my life living on a dime

And every moment I’ll be feeling fine…

But of “better days” I have seen no sign

 

I know that there are battles to be won

Like a stroll on the beach in the bright hot sun

Or going shopping with my daughters and having some fun…

But of victories I have not seen a single one

 

But still I keep pressing on each day

Hoping a cure will come my way

And all that happened in my adversity….

Will one day be just a sad memeory

 

So here’s to “better days” ahead

For all of us whose lives are led

By the hope that all the dreams that be…

WILL ONE DAY BE REALITY!

Linda’s comment:  Dr Gordon is a brilliant doctor and I have learn over the last 15 years, what he says is right…..I have been on his FIGHT protocol for 2 years now and IT WORKS….there are many that show signs of Lyme Parkinson, Lyme MS, Lyme ALS, Lyme Lupus, Lyme Fibromyalgia….if the would start focusing on reducing their total body burden of pathogens and toxins, their symptoms will begin to GO AWAY and by removing the heavy metals more quickly will make all the difference in the world….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Here is proof that my FIGHT concept is on target! My treatment is the same for most chronic degenerative conditions. Infections are always part of the degenerative diseases we are fighting. Thus, for doctors that can learn to offer ultraviolet blood irradiation and/or ozone along with using large doses of the strongest proven silver product on the market, ACS 200, you are really lowering the total body burden of pathogens that is getting at the causes. With zeolite first use ACZ for three bottles then ZeoGold. You are then offering the best possible detoxing program particularly if used with my Power Drink (Maca, organic Green, Beyond Fiber and BioEn’R-G’y C).

Then using curcumin for effective inflammation lowering is needed for a time so use the best forms of curcumin like Meriva.

Remember we have documented that most people have CMV and it links to vascular disease and hypertension so we must always remember to lower the total body pathogen burden in addition to lowering the burden of all toxins. Use zeolite and chelation, etc. because everyone has heavy metals in excess no matter what test you use, as lead is always 1000 times too high in bone!

Then we all have flame retardants and Bisphenol A and other organic toxins that are all clearly linked to chronic diseases like Parkinson’s but your patients need a miracle now!  They cannot wait for the 15 years it takes for bones to remodel and slowly release bone lead. If they take oral chelation and zeolite for 15 years they will have lowered that toxic challenge but they need to function better today!

So learn PEMF and add it to your practice now, as doctors are reporting a big increase in their practices when they offer PEMF for an additional fee of $30-45 per ten minute treatment! Watch the Parkinson’s patient get up and move almost normally after one
such treatment. Go to www.pemf.us for details or www.pemf.us/info to watch YouTube videos with Guillian Barre getting out of wheel chair after 9 years and autism at age 18 speaking for first time. 

Of course that gives patients hope so they will stay with you and let you get them on a total FIGHT program. Download the 18 page review of my FIGHT program on my website and you will be helping patients more than any other approach, as you are treating causes. But with earth changes we now all suffer magnetic deficiency syndrome and leaving out PEMF means results will not be as dramatic, as they are when you do it all!

Watch webinars on PEMF on my www.gordonresearch.com website and treat more effectively any condition, acute or chronic, as the science is there to explain why!

‘Friendly fire’ may be at the root of Parkinson-like diseases

  By John Pastor • Published: May 16th, 2011

Scientists have suspected exposure to viruses and other environmental factors may trigger symptoms associated with Parkinson-like diseases, but why such exposure would actually destroy certain areas of the brain has been mysterious.

New research suggests a pathway located at the base of the brain that is essential for the execution of smooth, coordinated movements may be selectively damaged by the friendly fire of the body’s immune response, according to University of Florida and Mayo Clinic Florida scientists writing today in Nature Neuroscience.

Linda’s comments:  What amazes me is they have said for years that those who suffered from MONO ended up having Lyme disease.  So now they feel they have made a discovery that many doctors and patients have known about in the alternative arena….Bottom-line, at least they are now publishing about these issues…

UC Davis Finds Lyme Disease Bacteria in Lymph Nodes
by Maejoy Tutor in Diseases on Jun 15, 2011 

One of the most significant and considered as threatening and rising diseases in US is the Lyme disease. The bacteria which causes this seems to be hiding particularly in lymph nodes. University of California Davis researchers have reported that this can trigger a considerable immune response, except that it is not too strong to defeat the infection.
