It is time to rename LYME;  if we call it LIMES it will change the paradigm and help many more people on the road to recovery than if IV antibiotics suddenly were free for everyone, as often as they wanted them. That is not the best answer for most patients today.  Oxidative treatment would make more sense (UVB/OZONE).

Lyme is all around us but I believe we will help many more if we give up on blaming everything on the tick related introduction of more pathogens than we had the day before we are bit.  Continued

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.

Excerpt:

Invasive species, including pathogens, can have important effects
on local ecosystems, including indirect consequences on native
species. This study focuses on the effects of an invasive plant
pathogen on a vertebrate community and Ixodes pacificus, the
vector of the Lyme disease pathogen (Borrelia
burgdorferi) in California. Phytophthora ramorum, the causative
agent of sudden oak death, is a non-native pathogen killing trees
in California and Oregon. We conducted a multi-year study using a
gradient of SOD-caused disturbance to assess the impact on the
dusky-footed woodrat (Neotoma fuscipes) and the deer mouse
(Peromyscus maniculatus), two reservoir hosts of B. burgdorferi,
as well as the impact on the Columbian black-tailed deer
(Odocoileus hemionus
columbianus) and the western fence lizard (Sceloporus
occidentalis), both of which are important hosts for I. pacificus
but are not pathogen reservoirs.
Abundances of P. maniculatus and S. occidentalis were positively
correlated with greater SOD disturbance, whereas N. fuscipes
abundance was negatively correlated. We did not find a change in
space use by O. hemionus. 
Our data show
that SOD has a positive impact on the density of nymphal ticks,
which is expected to increase the risk of human exposure to Lyme
disease all else being equal. A positive correlation between SOD
disturbance and the density of nymphal ticks was expected given
increased abundances of two important hosts: deer mice and
western fence lizards. However, further research is needed to
integrate the direct effects of SOD on ticks, for example via
altered abiotic conditions with host-mediated indirect effects

We would like to invite you and the NY Metro Area/East Coast patients and practitioners to come to a talk given by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD in NYC.  

Detailed information about the upcoming NYC seminar on Autonomic Response Testing and the special evening talk ,”Healing Long Term Lyme Disease and other Chronic Infections without Antibiotics” is located on our website:www.klinghardtacadaemy.com.   Dr. Klinghardt is known for his complementary work with chronic illness world wide and teaches practitioners how to individualize protocols for Lyme disease, MS, Autism, Cancer and other chronic conditions related to toxicity and pathogens.  

We hope you and local LLMD’s and  interested individuals will attend this unique evening. 

Dr. Klinghardt is rarely on the East Coast, but will be teaching in NYC on Feb 10-13, 2011 at the Holiday Inn Midtown.  We hope you will pass  this information to your colleagues so the NY area practitioners have an opportunity to come see and experience this world wide shift toward individualized health care.  Our goal at the Academy is to equip medical practitioners with the tools necessary to become true medical healers and learn how to combat the growing epidemic of chronic illness. We also want to empower patients with knowledge and optional healing protocols that are affordable. We understand that there is no cookie cutter approach to lyme disease, so all we can learn to add to our arsenal of protocols can only be beneficial to all. 

Please call me with any questions.
warm regards,

Excerpt:

Screening for active tuberculosis (TB) and latent TB infection (LTBI) is mandatory prior to the initiation of tumour necrosis factor-  inhibitor therapy. However, no agreement exists on the best strategy for detecting LTBI in this population. The aim of the present study was to analyse the performance of the tuberculin skin test (TST) and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold in-tube (QFT-GIT) on LTBI detection in subjects with immunomediated inflammatory diseases (IMID).

The TST and QFT-GIT were prospectively performed in 398 consecutive IMID subjects, 310 (78%) on immunosuppressive therapy and only 16 (4%) had been bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccinated.

Indeterminate results to QFT-GIT were found in five (1.2%) subjects. Overall, 74 (19%) out of 393 subjects were TST-positive and 52 (13%) were QFT-GIT-positive. Concordance between TST and QFT-GIT results was good (87.7%): 13 were QFT-GIT-positive/TST-negative and 35 QFT-GIT-negative/TST-positive. By multivariate analysis both tests were significantly associated with older age. Only the TST was associated with BCG vaccination and radiological lesions of past TB. Use of immunosuppressive drugs differently modulated QFT-GIT or TST scoring.

Methods

Human leukemic cultured LAD2 mast cells and normal human umbilical cord blood-derived cultured mast cells (hCBMCs) were stimulated by HgCl2 (0.1-10 microM) for either 10 min for beta-hexosaminidase release or 24 h for measuring vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and IL-6 release by ELISA.

Results

HgCl2 induced a 2-fold increase in beta-hexosaminidase release, and also significant VEGF release at 0.1 and 1 microM (311+/-32 pg/10*6 cells and 443+/-143 pg/10*6 cells, respectively) from LAD2 mast cells compared to control cells (227+/-17 pg/10*6 cells, n=5, p<0.05). Addition of HgCl2 (0.1 microM) to the proinflammatory neuropeptide substance P (SP, 0.1 microM) had synergestic action in inducing VEGF from LAD2 mast cells. HgCl2 also stimulated significant VEGF release (360 +/- 100 pg/10*6 cells at 1 microM, n=5, p<0.05) from hCBMCs compared to control cells (182 +/-57 pg/10*6 cells), and IL-6 release (466+/-57 pg/10*6 cells at 0.1 microM) compared to untreated cells (13+/-25 pg/10*6 cells, n=5, p<0.05). Addition of HgCl2 (0.1 microM) to SP (5 microM) further increased IL-6 release.

Conclusions

HgCl2 stimulates VEGF and IL-6 release from human mast cells. This phenomenon could disrupt the blood-brain-barrier and permit brain inflammation. As a result, the findings of the present study provide a biological mechanism for how low levels of mercury may contribute to ASD pathogenesis.

Although the risk of infection with hepatitis and human
immunodeficiency viruses from blood transfusions has been reduced
to negligible levels, emerging infections continue to offer
threats. Such threats occur with any infection that has an
asymptomatic, blood-borne phase. In the past, it was thought that
any emerging transfusion-transmitted disease would have
epidemiologic properties similar to those of AIDS or viral
hepatitis. Over the past 20 years, however, greatest concern has
arisen from variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, West Nile virus,
and Babesia. These and other emerging infections are discussed in
the context of blood safety. Copyright (c)  2010 Elsevier Inc.

The following page was set up for people to listen to what Dr. Gordon has to say about the importance of finding a “LifeLong Daily Detox” protocol that you can stick to.  I have been on this protocol for over 1 1/2 years and let me tell you IT WORKS.

As a Lyme patient I have been dissolving biofilms and reducing the inflammation chronically ill patients have to deal with.  Reducing your total body burden of pathogens and toxins is important in any wellness journey.  Are you tired of having muscle and joint pain?  Would you like to enjoy that organic cup of coffee ? 

It is well worth the time to listen to the Webinar’s that Dr Gordon presented on his outstanding F.I.G.H.T. protocol.  Having battled (5) Cancers and (2) Lyme infections, as well as a host of other health care problems I’m grateful that I found the FIGHT protocol. 

 Read on for the webinars…
