News and resources for neurological Lyme disease and co-infections.
Some of the checklist materials might be new to you, which underscores the need for another scale to add to the ones currently in existence. This list is based on a massive review of thousands of papers over a decade of full-time reading, 2012 science revelations, and/or massive chart reviews
Lyme is a multisystem disorder that can attack any or every organ in the human body, causing unique infections from organ to organ. Unfortunately, absolute proof would require a biopsy of the infected tissue and the heart can only be studied after death.
However, recent studies using rhesus monkeys by Mario Phillip from Tulane University verify this unique phenomenon by demonstrating that the spirochetes change their genetic code by altering their proteins.
The CDC recently announced that there has been a twenty-fold increase in Babesiosis between 2001 and 2008 – in only seven years! Another study on Block Island showed that Babesiosis is only 25% less common than Lyme disease in the 70% of islanders tested. Even more alarming is that one quarter of the adults, and one half of the children that tested positive for Babesiosis showed no symptoms at all!
Lyme disease can and will mimic any disease or illness. Most doctors will look for the more accepted explanation of our symptoms; fibromyalgia, MS, ALS, depression, arthritis, neuropathy…rather than risk stepping out of the mainstream (and the censure of their peers) by looking for Lyme. We need to insist. Knowledge is power, and we don’t need to understand the details of the medical terminology (and with Lyme fog that may be impossible anyways.) We just need to understand enough to ensure that our doctors are giving us the correct diagnostic tests, and not ignoring what could be vital diagnostic information.
by Greg Lee / Two Frogs Healing Center Ever had a difficult time seeing the road when driving in the rain? You want to avoid crashing into something, so you try all sorts of things to be able to see more clearly. You flip on the windshield wipers. If that doesn’t work, then you turn [...]
What has any intelligent mind shaking in their figurative boots is that he keeps finding deadly new human forms every other second. Other researchers and practitioners will have to begin to pay attention not only because of his brilliant article, but his innovative way to isolate these deadly new forms.
Low body temperature is the plague of the 21st century. People with low body temperature have a weak reaction to even the most ideal medicines and therapies. As the body’s core temperature becomes cold, the energetic crystalline matrix experiences a systemic collapse as tissues condense and cellular tensegrity, the infrastructure of the intra and extracellular matrix, loses its structural conductivity and integrity.
These stories happening in the heart of the medical community will eventually open doors (minds) to the truth that Lyme researchers have understood all along.
Those of us who suffer, should take heart that it is only a matter of time before the big egos get pushed aside in favor of truth and Hippocratic Oath.
Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is a skin condition that takes a progressive course that leads to atrophy of the skin in a variety of ways but sharing certain common characteristics.
Not surprisingly, involvement of the peripheral nervous system is frequently observed as a part of ACA (numbness, tingling, pain…)
As we know, clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis are almost unlimited. They can affect the skin, nervous system, muscles, joints eyes, ears, any organ including the heart. With ACA, the skin becomes papery thin and almost shiny and transparent so that the blood vessels, veins, arteries and tissue can be seen through the skin in various degrees which give the skin a pinkish/bluish color.
It is one thing to lump a couple hundred of sufferers into a group of psychosomatic patients…but how do medical doctors respond to the hundreds of thousands of Lyme sufferers from all 50 states who are becoming more ill and increasingly fragile?
It is time for medical doctors to take their heads out of the sand and re-commit their allegiance to the Hippocratic Oath
