Human leptospirosis can be a difficult infection to describe, as the
symptoms can vary dramatically between patients. Some symptoms are
extremely common, but only a small number of patients will experience
the severe life-threatening illness known as Weil’s disease. The
severity of the infection depends on the age and general health of the
patient, plus the serovar (strain) of bacteria involved and the number
of bacteria that entered the patient’s body. Continued

Clinical practice guidelines are increasing in number. Unfortunately,
when scientific evidence is uncertain, limited, or evolving, as is often
the case, conflict often arises between guideline committees and
practicing physicians, who bear the direct responsibility for the care of
individual patients. The 2006 Infectious Diseases Society of America
guidelines for Lyme disease, which have limited scientific support,
could, if implemented, limit the clinical discretion of treating physicians
and the treatment options available to patients
Introduction
Clinical practice guidelines are now ubiquitous throughout the
United States. The National Guidelines Clearing House, under the
category “diseases,” currently lists 2,126 separate guidelines on its
web site. Clinical guidelines are intended to assist physicians in
patient care by clearly communicating the results of the guideline
committees’ evaluation of available therapeutic options. However,
the processes by which individual guidelines are constructed may be
less clear, leading to disagreements between the issuing committee
and the physicians who treat patients-physicians who may well be
as experienced and knowledgeable as the guideline committee.

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. Continued

Linda’s Comment: It amazes me that in the following publications do we find any suggestions about reducing our total body burden of pathogens and toxins. It is a MUST that Lymies begin to reduce their total body burden of pathogens and toxins in order to begin addressing Lyme, Lyme Arthritis, Arthritis, and other chronic illness we see with Lyme patients. Some people choose antibiotics…..I personally never went near antibiotics. My whole detox and healing program was using anti-microbials, alternative medicine, alternative modalities, NO GMO foods, NO sugars, NO fast foods, NO soda’s, NO caffeine, NO coffee and I ate and still do eat organic foods. I also have used a PhotonGenie since 2001 and use it daily. I like it better than Rife, as I don’t have to worry about settings, I just turn it on and go. I even sleep in mine. The critters we Lymies fight LOVE heavy metals and especially GMO foods.
There are also some foods that you don’t want to eat if you are having symptoms of Arthritis, however, it is more important to get rid of the GMO, sugars, coffee and soda’s to reduce the inflammation and pain. The great thing about the fight program is you are dissolving biofilms and reducing inflammation on a daily basis. So much of our pain comes from inflammation.
I of course use many more things with my lifelong daily detox protocol. If you can get IV chelation and do weekly colonics you can move things along faster. However, you can start the program one step at a time and move at your own pace. This is one protocol that must be done as suggested to get the full benefit of wellness. The first three months are your toughest, but after that it is a breeze. Yes, ever so often you have a day or two like you did when you first started, but I tell folks, it is like peeling an onion. As you reach a new level you will have a couple of days where you keep your bathroom close. At the end of 60 to 90 days and you begin to feel your life coming back to you, you will be very pleased that you began this journey. Feel free to ask questions and I will share my journey with you. Just remember JUST SAY NO TO GMO!! Continued
