Lyme Case Study:
There Is Hope for Chronic Lyme Disease
BACKGROUND
Lyme disease
is the most vector-born infection in the U.S. and is the fastest-growing
epidemic in the world. According to the CDC (Center of Disease Control)
confirms that “there is a considerable under-reporting” of Lyme disease,
maintaining that the actual infection
rate may be 1.8 million, ten times higher than the 180,000 cases currently
reported. Nick Harris, Ph. D., Director of the International Lyme and
Associated Disease Society (ILADS), states” Lyme is grossly under-reported. In
the U.S., we probably have about 200,000 cases per year.” Dan Kinderleher,M.D.,
an expert on Lyme disease, stated on the Today Show on June 10, 2002 that the
number of cases may be 100 times higher (18 million in the U.S. alone) than
reported by the CDC. Conventional belief attributes Lyme disease through tick
bites, classical Lyme is caused by a bacterial spirochete, called Borrelia
Burgdorferi. More recent literature has shown it to be contracted also by:
1.Mosquitoes
2.
Spiders
3. Stinging Flies
4. Mites and fleas
Some people
may have contracted the disease through body fluids or from the
placenta of
their mother’s womb or breast milk, rather than a tick bite. This
means that
the disease may be much more widespread than anticipated.
CHARACTERISTICS
Borrelia Burgdorferi moves through the blood
and tissue by means of an internal arrangement of flagellae that propel it in a
corkscrew fashion. It can invade the various body systems and remain dormant
for long periods of time only to cause illness months or years later when the
immune system becomes compromised. Lyme spirochetes are masters of collagen
tissue and they can travel through them easier than through blood.
Zambrano, m. et aL. “Borrelia Burgdorferi
binds to, invades, and colonizes native Type 1 collagen” Lattices, Infect
Immune 2004; 72 (6):3138-46.
Spirochetes
are regularly found in people who have been on antibiotic therapy for years.
Research suggest these atypical forms may
allow Borrelia to survive antibiotic treatment infection,1996 Vol.24 (3):218.
The Lyme organism
is highly adaptable and can change from the spirochetal form into encysted form
from which they can emerge from the red blood cell when conditions improve.
This phenomenon is what makes Lyme disease so difficult to diagnose and treat.
Stages of Lyme
disease
Stage 1
Bulls eye rash (but only25% of people get
this), flu-like symptoms (antibiotics are effective at this stage)
Stage2
Muscle aches, fatigue, joint pain, “migratory
arthritis”, weight gain or loss.
Stage 3
Severe to mild neurological symptoms, profound
fatigue, memory and concentration problems and severe pain can all manifest.
CO-INFECTIONS
Lyme disease does not occur alone but
together with a number of co-infections.
Patients
with chronic Lyme disease often have multiple co-infections these
symptoms
overlap other disease (Nicholas et @ J. Occup. Environ.Med.1996:38)
When the
immune system becomes dysfunctional the patient then becomes infected with a
multitude of secondary, bacterial, fungal, micro plasma and especially viral
infections
*Borrelia *Bartonella *Herpes Virus
family
*Babesia *Myroplasma *Coxsakie’s virus
*Ehrlichia *Viruses (CMV) *Parasites
Also fungus thrives in Lyme infected patients.
The treatment needs to be
broad based
and address all the co-infections in order to succeed. Borrelia Burgdorferi
change shape and form perhaps its most insidious characteristic.
“Only 10-20%
of the total Lyme bacterial load is in the extra cellular space is the
spirochete form.”
“The
remaining 80-90% of Lyme bacterial load is intercellular in the stealth
cell-wall-deficient form, hidden from the eyes of the immune system, therefore
preventing an attack.”
"Most Lyme
antibody test are made to detect this 10-20% spirochete forms and there are no
conventional accepted markers for the 80-90% of intercellular forms which
constitute the majority of the Lyme Bacterial load. “
“However
there is a new test –CD-57 (a Natural Killer Cell or aggressive white blood
cell, that seems to be specific for Lyme spirochete) It appears to be a
reliable diagnostic marker for unresolved Lyme.CD-57 count begins to be reduced
after the organism has established itself and adapted to its environment. The
treatment patients that had CD-57 Test showed a great improvement in their
natural killer cells, one patient increased from a CD-57 count of 40 to over
200 after 12 weeks of the alternative protocol. People that have normal
functioning immune systems have a CD-57 count of 100-200. ” Hamid Moayad D.O.

Lyme Study
September 2006 – December 2006
Study
Proposal
Ten Lyme
patients who had failed to improve with pharmaceutical treatments involving
antibiotics and I.V. treatments were chosen to begin an alternative treatment
for chronic Lyme disease. In this pilot Lyme study the ten patients in the
natural treatment group will be compared with at least ten other patients of
approximately the same degree of illness who continue to receive conventional
therapy. Can alternative therapies make a difference in Stage 3 Lyme Disease
with a uniform comprehensive natural protocol?

Research
Program
Research
Investigators and Medical review board agreed to the following
guidelines
to attempt to change to terrain of the cell and the body. The key to
improving
chronic disease is meeting the needs of a single cell. If you give the
body the
nutrients a single cell needs to function normally, the body often has the
power to
heal itself. Spirochetes have a tremendous ability to sense the make-up of the
environment they live within (the cell). They can sense chemicals they need for
food especially sugars. For this reason the nutritional changes, pH balancing
and supplements were included in this study.
1. HYDRATION– All “treatment patients”
were asked to drink at least 50% their body weight in ounces daily of purified
water, not to exceed 100 ounces. Water counts for approximately 70% of total
body weight and is the foundation of all life. Reduced water causes every cell
to function improperly, causing dehydration. Thus the cell can not flush out
waste.
Soda and
coffee will not substitute for good purified water but creates acid conditions.
Everything that is acidic is an electron stealer creating inflammation.
2. DIETARY
CHANGES - All were given a Blood Type Diet along with a Low
Glycemic
Diet. Grains, Fruits, and Vegetables according to their blood type. Agglutination or cells clumping together
happens when we eat foods not compatible with our blood type.
A.)The seven most allergenic foods were
eliminated: 1. wheat, 2.sugar, 3. peanuts, 4. dairy, 5. soy, 6. shellfish, 7 corn, Replacing these with
Hemp bread, Xylitol, Stevia, nuts for
blood type, goat’s milk or almond milk, cold water fish and grass fed beef.
B.)DRINKS-All treatment patients were
asked to eliminating caffeine and sodas, and use herbal teas and drinking
purified water with lemon.
“Eliminating or reducing coffee, tea, and
alcohol as it blocks zinc and selenium.
Zinc is one of the most important elements in the body without zinc you
can’t make stomach acid or digest your food properly. Without zinc you can not
make neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, norepenephrine, and
epinephrine.” Jerry Tennant M.D. Tennant Institute for Integrative
Medicine “How the Body is designed to
Work” p.7
C.)GOOD FATS - are very important daily, as
they make healthy cell membranes. All were asked to use extra virgin olive oil
also organic eggs and avocadoes daily, nuts, especially walnuts. NO
hydrogenated, peanut or corn oils as they create free radicals and ‘steal’
electrons from the lipids in our cell membranes and cause cell damage.
D.).Low
Glycemic foods –All treatment patients were asked to eliminate sugar, honey,
maple syrup, aspartame and any artificial sweeteners, instead they used Stevia
or Xylitol (natural sweeteners).
“Foods that have a high glycemic index turns
to blood sugar very quickly after we eat them. When we eat foods that have a
high glycemic index, our blood sugar rises rapidly. This is followed by an
overproduction of insulin. When insulin levels get high enough, then our bodies
sugar drops rapidly until we eat again. This roller coaster of insulin and
blood sugar causes sugar cravings and prevention of fat burning, decreased
metabolism and worst of all Insulin Resistance. This nutritional program was
designed to improve your overall health; however weight loss is a beneficial
effect.” (Dr. Hugo Rodier Medical Review
Board. )
By reducing
the sugar and blood sugar spikes the spirochetes are forced to
pleomorphiclly change size and form.
Nutritional Support
A) Enzymes ( FOOD ENZYMES) 5 daily
Each tablet
will digest 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of fat.
Digestive enzymes improve absorption of vitamins and minerals, helps maintain
normal pH levels and stimulates the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria. The
most important action of enzymes is aiding in elimination of toxins and
neurotoxins created by B. Burgdorferi. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
of 2004 study found that digestive enzymes help reduce homocysteine levels a
dangerous toxin that is connected to heart disease, common in chronic Lyme
patients.
B) Vitamins/Minerals/Amino Acids
(VITAWAVE) 1 oz. daily
Vitawave
provides at least 100% of 17 essential vitamins and minerals in a base of
herbs. Amino acids, plant-derived trace minerals and helpful nutrients
including lutein also the glutathione precursor ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid)
important from detoxifying from heavy metals)Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity
may overlap symptoms of Chronic Lyme
disease and associated co-infections.16th International Scientific Conference
on Lyme Disease and other Tick borne Disorders. May 2003 U.S.A. (The Journal of
the American Medical Association) . Study states “ Most people do not consume
an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone pending the strong evidence of
effectiveness from randomized trials it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”
C) Antioxidants (THAI-GO JUICE) 2 oz
daily
Is a blend of botanical ingredients rich in
natural antioxidants magosteen’s powerful antioxidant also have antibiotic,
antifungal, anti-inflammatory actions as well as histamine blocking properties.
Wolf berry fruit is used in China as blood, liver and kidney tonics. Sea
Buckthorn and Green Tea enhances the immune system. Grape skins, blueberries
and granny smith apples contain powerful antioxidants and enhance the taste.
D) Fiber(EVERYBODY’S FIBER) 2 Tbs. daily
This combination mucilaginous herbs blends
soluble fiber with insoluble fiber to soothe and heal the gastrointestinal
tract also we recommend fiber so that the dead microorganism can be carried out
of the colon easier. Mucilaginous includes Slippery Elm, Marshmallow and
Asparagus. Relaxing herbs Chamomile, Peppermint and Fennel improve digestion
and reduce gas Flax meal provides bulk preventing the reattachment of parasites
to lower bowel wall.
E) Essential Fatty Acids (SUPER OMEGA 3
W/ DHA) 3 daily = 1,000mg
Fish Oil is the most important component to be
observed in an alternative treatment of Lyme’s disease. Fatty Acids make of 80%
of the brain and are necessary for every cell of the body. The cell wall
membrane is made of fat, it also controls the cell which is considered the
“brain”. The liver is responsible for the production of bile which breaks down
fat, the liver contains 35,000 sq, meter (about the size of 7 football fields)
these membranes are made of fats. If you don’t eat enough good fats or eat fats
that have been processed they are similar to plastic the cell membrane becomes
stiff and doesn’t work correctly.
F) Probiotics (BIFIDOPHYILUS) 3 daily
for 15 Billion of friendly Bacteria
Friendly bacteria should naturally inhabit
your intestinal tract and help break down food. Aid digestion, enhances your
immune system, provides absorption for B12.The gut has been called the second
brain and is responsible for many of our neurotransmitters.” THE SECOND BRAIN”

Testing
Procedures
1. SELF
HEALTH ASSESSMENT - All ten treatment patients in the Pilot study were asked to
quantitate on a scale of 1 – 10 the degree of severity of their 10 most
problematic symptoms, every 2 weeks through 12 weeks
2. SF8 FORM
- Each patient also filled out on each visit an SF8 form (which is a validated
historical questionnaire developed by the Medical Outcomes Trust of Boston)
3. PH
TESTING - By using a litmus paper which measures the concentration of positive charged ions in your body fluid.
The more positive charged hydrogen ions present the more acidic. The fewer the
hydrogen ions present the less acid. The pH of saliva and urine was taken every
2 weeks on an empty stomach.
The average
pH of saliva on treatment group was 7.0 average pH of urine was 5.5. At the end
of the study average saliva was 6.4 and average urine was 6.2.
Our bodies
have an internal environment, which is called our biological terrain and is the
interstitial fluid that nourishes the 100-trillion cells in your body. Our
biological terrain is based on the composition and quantity of fluids our cells
live in, which include blood, lymph, gastric juices etc. When these fluids are
in proper balance, our cells flourish. When they are out of balance they create
an environment conducive to the growth of fungi, bacteria, viruses and
parasites. It is important to understand the pH of your blood and is critical
to your life and has only a very small degree of tolerance for variation. These
fluids serve as indications of the health of our Biological Terrain.
This measurement is called pH or Potential of
Hydrogen. The urine is a catabolic process the saliva is an anabolic process.
This measurement will indicate the Acidity or Alkalinity of your Terrain.
Specific pH levels are necessary for optimum digestion and absorption. Ideally
the pH of saliva should average 6.5 and the urine will fluctuate between, 6.0 –
7.0 Prior to an immune dysfunction there is a pH imbalance to reflect this
condition.
4. Refractometer (sugar) – A refractometer is
used for this test since it records all the sugars in the urine (Blood sugar
only record glucose). It is considered the fuel gauge or amount of possible
energy available. The sugar reading expresses the ability to digest and store
sugar properly. The optimum maximun number, at least 3 hours after a meal
should be 1.5. This represents the amount of dissolved solids in the form of
complex and simple sugar. The units are expressed in sugar brix. One degree
Brix is equal to one percent sugar in the liquid being tested, in this case
urine. Therefore the ideal carbohydrate number of 1.5 means 1.5 Brix or 1.5%
sugar in the urine sample. If sugar is too high (over 1.5) the body may be
insulin resistant and form excess gas, yeast, or fungus. If too low, look for
hypoglycemia conditions.
The average
SUGAR BRIX of the treatment patients was 3.6 at the beginning of the study, at
the end of the study it was 1.9.
5. Conductivity – A Conductivity Meter
was used for this test. It gives vital information about the flow of
electricity or voltage in the body. It also can indicate the congestion and
stagnation within the body’s tissue measured through a small amount of urine.
This reading involves the minerals or salts in your fluids. Minerals are needed
for many critical actions and reactions in the body; if you put distilled water
in a battery it won’t hold a charge, so it is with your body. Minerals need to
be balanced. Only when your body is depleted of good minerals do heavy metals
attach themselves to cell walls. When fluids become congested with too many
minerals (toxins) stagnation and congestion may occur which limits the cell’s
ability to function properly. With too few minerals the body can’t hold its
electrical charge and can cause cellular dysfunction.
6. The average Conductivity of the
treatment patients was 9.5 at the beginning of the study, at the end of the
study it was 7.4.
7. Darkfield Microscopy – Through the
advent of technological advances in microcopy, new discoveries have been proved
by such leading researchers as Royal Rife, Gaston Naessan, Dr. Gunther
Enderlein, Dr. Majid Ali, M.D. and many others. In the rapidly emerging field
of what is known as live cell analysis an understanding of biology as a
wholelistic science has emerged. Health imbalances in the body may be averted
by observing the state of ever-present floras found in the blood and by
correcting the milieu that allows the floras to remain in the regulatory forms
or to move into pathogenicity. Or conversely, to be reduced from pathogenic
forms back down to regulators. These observations are made in what is known as
Darkfield Microscopy. Examinations of live blood in a darkfield are valuable
for recognizing imbalances in the body and for tracking the progression toward
improvement .
“Under
Darkfield Microscopy when the red blood cells are crushed the intercellular
stealth pleomorphic Lyme bacteria can be seen in these Lyme patients.”
The majority
of the treatment patients had:
Erthrocyte Aggregation and Rouleau - red blood
cells clumped or stacked together.
Fibrin -congestion in the circulatory system
and is associated with blood clotting disorders.
Poikilocytes -
Free radical damaged or deformed RBC’s with appearance of bottle caps.
Many of the white blood cells were
immobile/non-viable.
At the end
of the study the majority of the treatment patients the RBC’s were negative
charged (or not clumping) white blood cells were Phagocytic/Viable very little
or no Fibrin and Poikilocytes were gone. When the RBC’s were crushed the
intercellular Lyme bacteria sprichetal form and cystic form were greatly
reduced. The darkfield reflected the positive results that the treatment
patients were experiencing.
Biological
Terrain is not a new concept but was part of a great debate in the early
1800’s. The argument that changed the course of medicine was Louis Pasteur who
had the opinion that non-changeable microbes caused disease (monomorphism) on
the other side was Antoine Bechamp who stated that the microbe changed
according to Biological Terrain. Not until his deathbed did Pastuer change his
mind. “The microbe is nothing the terrain is everything” Unfortunately the road
was paved for the Germ Theory and it was too late for medicine to turn around.
Maintaining the proper balance in the body’s ph (or Biological Terrain) can
positively affect all major body systems. A Lyme patient with a strong immune
system will be able to defend himself against outside invaders. The fact is
that many people are bitten by ticks and mosquitoes and don’t have health
problems that are associated with Lyme disease.

Lyme Recovery:
Man suffering with Lyme for 35 years, now has his life back!
Although I didn’t know it at the time, and would not know it for 35 more years my battle with lyme disease began it seems, when I was just 16 years old.
At that time I had persistent and extreme fevers with no apparent cause along with the fevers came joint pain, weight loss and a host of other symptoms that are consistent with lyme disease.
I suffered with these symptoms sporadically until my early twenties then seemed to have a period of good health that lasted until I was in my early 30’s .
Then the only way to describe what happened to me was I crashed totally. No energy, bedridden at times, joint pain that would affect some joints for a period of time then move to affect others , mental fog, various neurological disorders (some mimicking Parkinson’s Disease), heart issues, the list goes on.
I saw every type of doctor you could imagine from MD’s to witch doctors only kidding about the witch doctor (they were too busy and couldn’t get me in).
No one could explain my symptoms this went on for twenty years with no apparent cause or explanation. To say it was challenging both physically and mentally is a gross understatement.
We had really just about given up. I say we because this disease affects those around you as well as yourself. Fortunately for me I had Miriam my wife who just would not quite give up.
She had heard about a doctor from someone, so it was one more of what we had come to expect to be a wasted trip.
But this time fortunately we were wrong just a few minutes into the appointment the doctor said sounds like lyme disease. I was tested cdc positive.
The enemy now had a name. What next? Looked at the options researched, researched, and researched some more. Tried all kinds of natural remedies, rife machine, ect, ect, wanted to avoid antibiotics if we could. We joined a local lyme support group, someone mentioned allimed, and you know the rest of the story.
I had, no, we had 30 years of our life stolen by a disease that I didn’t know existed, Allimed changed that. After six months of taking allimed I have recovered almost completely, I don’t know what you are supposed to feel like at 53 but I had a rebirth. Thank you more than you will ever know.

Lyme Recovery
I contracted Lyme disease in 2001 at which time I exhibited classic symptoms – recurring low-grade fever, stiff neck, night sweats, flu-like fatigue, anxiety and insomnia. My doctors dismissed my symptoms as stress-induced.
Many months later, I developed new symptoms: numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, aching joints and sensitivity to chemical smells, but had no idea that they were related to my earlier symptoms.
Eventually I became pregnant and my symptoms seemed to stop. In 2004, I weaned my daughter after a year of nursing – shortly afterwards the numbness and tingling, joint pain and chemical sensitivity returned, but I learned to live with it. In the summer of 2007 I traveled to South America and contracted parasites – which were treated with a strong antibiotic called flagyl. It killed the parasites, but reactivated my Lyme and this time it came back with a vengeance.
All of my above symptoms returned ten-fold – I slept up to 14 hours a night and was in a constant fog. I had difficulty understanding spoken language and my speech was slurred. My balance was affected – I would have to run my hand along the wall in order to walk without falling and my right leg would drag. I had an insatiable appetite and thirst –and though I ate ravenously, I lost 15 lbs. in two months.
I became intolerant of most foods and was in extreme gastric discomfort most of the time. Finally I was diagnosed with Lyme in December of 2008 and was placed on oral antibiotics for 5 months. The antibiotics worsened my gastric issues and led to awful herx symptoms. My previous symptoms improved gradually, but never entirely went away. When I stopped the antibiotics, I returned to my previous miserable state in a matter of weeks. Allimed got me functioning again – but without the stomach upset.
Outside of initial fatigue as I increased my dosage, I had no herx reactions. After a year of taking Allimed along with other vitamins and supplements to heal my immune system, my energy gradually increased, my balance was regained and my food intolerances resolved.
After two years, my energy levels are better than ever - I can run 5 miles nonstop and play field hockey twice a week. I’ve had to eliminate gluten and sugar from my diet but can otherwise eat most anything again and have gained back all the weight and muscle mass that I lost.
Though I have done many things to heal my body: detoxing, diet change, exercise, meditation, supplementation, acupuncture – I believe that the Allimed has been one of the greatest contributing factors to my returning health.
