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

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

Folks what we have here is very valuable! I have been taking the ACZ nano Zeolite for over a year, and recently graduated to the Zeo-Gold. AWESOME results!
For those of us with Lyme disease and/or compromised immune systems, you will need to begin very slowly. Our bodies are FILLED to the brim with heavy metals and other toxins, and you can have a “herx” (herxheimer) reaction.
I will be happy to walk this journey with you… as you begin your “lifelong” detox journey. You won’t regret it!
I received the following email and want to share it with those who are thinking about beginning a new journey of reducing your total body burden of pathogens and toxins. Continued

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

These are my thoughts on how to more effectively help EVERY patient better by using my F.I.G.H.T. for Health Program. F.I.G.H.T. is an acronym that stands for: Food allergies/sensitivities and leaky gut syndrome, Infections and pathogens, Genetics and epigenetics, and methylation issues needed for detoxing, Heavy Metals and Hormones, and Toxins that every person is exposed to everyday, everywhere. Regardless of the condition or disease your patient is suffering from, you will have better results by addressing each of these categories in every patient. Continued
