By Linda on Jan 22, 2010 in Toxins | comments(0)

Linda’s comment: This is a GREAT list compiled by Dr Michael…They are finding moe and more things with Mercury. Everyone puts focus on vaccines, however Mercury is everywhere, including our foods…..Corn syrup, fish, the list goes on and on…..check out this web site >>>>>
http://www.healthobservatory.org/library.cfm?refID=105040 <<<<list of 55 brand names containing Mercury!! Any foods that contain high fructose corn syrup has mercury in it. HFCS is found in so many things, including some yogurts, salad dressings, cereals, sodas, and countless sweets favored by children. Here is another good web site on the dangers of Mercury>>>>
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/phs46.html….. Here are some human exposures that are important….. http://www.epa.gov/hg/exposure.htm…

How many of you buy your children those cute shoes with flashing lights? Or those cute clothes with flashing lights. Every time those lights flash your child is getting a shot of mercury!! I ask myself, WHAT IS THE INDUSTRY THINKING WHEN THEY LOAD OUR CHILDREN’S CLOTHES WITH MERCURY???? Is money that important?? We the consumer need to stand up and SAY NO MORE!!

When you read information like I have supplied you above and below, it should scare you enough to focus on detoxing these toxins from your body. Everyday you walk out your front door you are getting slammed with 500 to 600 environmental toxins. A lifelong daily detox is vital to your health and well being.

I have been on the FIGHT program for 1 1/2 years now and I thank God daily that I have had this experience. Those of us with chronic illness need to detox daily or we will never get well.

Lyme Encephalopathy

By Linda on Nov 29, 2009 in Infections | comments(0)

Encephalopathy is like fine art: Most people know it when they see it, but there is very little agreement on how to define it. At the 14th International Lyme Disease Conference, Brian A. Fallon, MD,[1] of Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, tried to do just that. More importantly, he described the different ways one can define encephalopathy, the strengths and limitations of each approach, and significantly, what other aspects of life can give the impression of encephalopathy where none exists. First, one must evaluate patients with persistent Lyme encephalopathy by asking the following questions:

Is the diagnosis correct?
Are there comorbid psychiatric disorders that could be treated better? Does the patient have a psychogenic medical illness? What was the patient’s response to prior antibiotics?
Was previous treatment adequate? How long was the course, and what was the route of administration? Was there a subsequent relapse

Neurological manifestations of Lyme disease in children

By Linda on Nov 24, 2009 in Infections | comments(0)

Lyme Disease is transmitted by an arthropod, the Ixodes dammini tick. The spirochete causing the disease is the Borrelia burgdorferi.

Over the past nine years, we have treated over three hundred children for Lyme Disease in the hospital because they had significant neurologic manifestations of Lyme Disease or, in the minority of cases, an arthritis necessitating hospitalization for intravenous antibiotics. Continued

Clinical trials validate the severity of persistent Lyme disease symptoms

By Linda on Nov 16, 2009 in Infections | comments(0)

BACKGROUND: Persistent Lyme Disease Symptoms (PLDS) have included fatigue, headaches, poor concentration and memory, lightheadedness, joint pain, and mood disturbances. Evidence-based guidelines committees disagree over the severity of PLDS. The 2004 International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) concluded that PLDS are severe. The 2006 Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) guidelines committee concluded that PLDS are nothing more than the “aches and pains of daily living” and an ad hoc International Lyme group concluded that PLDS are “symptoms common in persons who have never had Lyme disease.” Continued
