The tick and the time bomb

Linda’s comment:  Thanks to the Colorado Springs INDEPENDENT for presenting this article on Lyme disease.  It presents what is going on today worldwide.  We need more newspapers to come to the Lyme communities rescue and help us get the word out.  I work with thousands of Lymies doing research and helping to guide them to make better healthcare choices.  I personally have battled 2 Lyme infections and have been blessed to live in a state where alternative doctors are licensed to practice <OUTSIDE OF THE BOX>  The one thing I have come to realize is our bodies are so overloaded with pathogens and toxins, that without lifestyle changes, getting rid of the heavy metals, being gluten free, caffeine free, sugar free, alcohol free, fast food free and most importantly GMO FREE, you struggle reaching the level of wellness you desire.  Getting rid of all the above is difficult, since we have industry shoving it in our faces at every turn.  I’m so thankful that I found the FIGHT program that Dr Garry Gordon has developed.  I couldn’t believe how many pathogens and toxins I have dumped over the last year and a half.  I have a long way to go, but I can tell you, I thank God daily for the FIGHT program.

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

Inflammation Linked to Increased Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s Disease

It would have been nice to test these patients for environmental toxins and also to see how high their heavy metals were??  Simple way to regulate and determine if metal toxicity has an effect on the cognitive decline?

Perhaps someday the conventional docs will get on the band wagon with the alternative world and begin searching for the “cause” and stop treating symptoms??!!

Dr. Daniel Mikol discusses the findings from the multicenter REGARD study.Click here.September 11, 2009 — A new study finds a link between systemic inflammation and increased cognitive decline in patients with established Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
 
In this study, both acute and chronic inflammation, which were in turn associated with increased serum levels of proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), were associated with an increase in the rate of cognitive decline in patients with mild to severe AD.
“The role of TNF-α within the brain is controversial, with evidence supportive of both deleterious and protective effects,” the authors, led by Clive Holmes, MRCPsych, PhD, from the University of Southampton, United Kingdom, conclude. “However, if systemic inflammation has different [central nervous system] consequences depending on the existing relative activation state of the central innate immune system, dampening down systemic TNF-α may prove to be beneficial in AD.”
Their report is published in the September 8 issue of Neurology.
