Interesting read: Muscle soreness and low body temp connection in Lyme and Fibro

I've rambled about the chemical imbalance (called ATP process) of muscle fiber in lyme, low magnessium slowing ionic cell transfer (mag is the electrical conductive salt between cells) , and general high toxic levels in "lyme" muscles, but the cold body core temp connection is something I have not directly read about before.

John Barnes of Myofacial Release mentions facia tissue surrounding all muscle (between skin and muscle) as being in a certain state of bio-crystal or liquid crystal, subject to change by body energy.

Dr Jerigan mentions the correlation between muscle calcification and body core temps.

My take: These two guys are talking about the same thing, with different words from different angles.

In basic thermodynamic understanding, energy = temperature. Barnes mentions the "body energy" correlation and Dr Jernagan mentions "core temperature" correlation with muscle state. Same thing.

[A note on "liquid crystal theory": Remember glass in NOT a solid, its actually a liquid slowly changing, that's why very old lead-glass windows are blury on the bottom, the glass sags at a slow rate..]

Deejavu pointed out Dr Jernigan's blog on my cold body temp post:

http://davidjernigan.blogspot.com/2012/11/cancer-and-low-body-temperature.html

"Muscles normally have a high demand for energy. Through contraction and relaxation muscles assist in eliminating their own cellular waste products. In a cold body however, the liquidity of the fluids inside of the muscles is gone, and the muscles cannot move the toxins and cellular debris. The deeper you go intobelly or center of the muscle, the colder and more difficult it is to move the toxins. Without normal viscosity of the body fluids, muscular contraction and relaxation grinds to a halt, like an engine with no lubricating oil. The belly of the muscle develops a knot that can be felt when massaging the muscle. These are the knotted, painful areas commonly known as “trigger points” of Fibromyalgia, which most Lyme patients have.

If the low body temperature is allowed to persist and no therapies are applied, even in a palliative manner as in massages to move toxins manually out of the belly of the muscle, the condition follows that of the water molecule. The belly of the muscle, due to the increasing coldness and decreased muscular activity progressively over time reaches the point of zero electrical oscillations at which time the tissue solidifies in a calcified stone in the belly of the muscle."

So, if your still with me, I have to ask........ do you limies who ache a lot ALSO have low body temps?****

I do, and according to the two guys above, I am not alone.

Astroman- I forgot if you said you have access to sauna? I think you were the one who said only a pubic one that seemed rather gross ( I get that. other peoples sweat!). I don't know if you are able to access a sauna or not- but just wanted to say personally that so far the mornings after I do a sauna in the evening my body temp is already .5 degrees higher than before starting the saunas- and I have only just started this type of treatment. also, when I get out of the sauna m body is at a normal temp and it just feels great. I know I have already mentioned this lots-- but I just wanted to say it once more on this thread-- if you are looking to raise your body temp the sauna feels great! I hope you find lots of success and health whichever way you choose to go!! I am still waiting for my "core body temp" supplement to arrive- though I may not be the best person to report on it since I am also adding saunas plus other things too. Wishing you the best!

Gerald Pollock suggests that infrared energy is needed to drive EZ (Exclusion Zone) water into the 4th phase (liquid crystal structure). Not necessarily temperature, as cloud formation is high in the atmosphere.

Dr Jernigan is also a proponent of the liquid crystalline theory.

My aches are so much worse when I'm cold. I've always said it hurts me to be cold.

IHL-

You can sometimes feel cold and really not be.

Do you take your temp?

yeah, I think this is because the lyme community is in such a state of evolving. There is so much unknown still, this is why we have such a hard time treating it. Yes I see a good llmd and this did not come up at all in m treatment, only when I started researching this stuff on my own.I think we are just at the stages of lyme treatment where so much is still unknown. Hopefully in some number of years dr's will know better how to treat this.

Thanks Don for the article.


Illuminated Physiology and Medical Uses of Light
David A. Jernigan, Samantha Joseph, D.C.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to bring a broader understanding to the physiology of light metabolism in the human body and to present novel techniques of utilizing light diagnostically and therapeutically. Much work has been done to use light to achieve altered states of consciousness, and there is much research documenting the presence and activities of light within the body. However, this paper seeks to promote the utilization of light as a primary treatment. A brief explanation of the author's novel diagnostic technique, BioResonance Scanning™, and novel treatment technique called NeuroPhotonic TherapyTM is detailed with clinical gems and case review.

He even references Mae-Wan Ho's book. My new favourite author.

From the Mercola article:

What Creates or Builds EZ Water?


One of the greatest surprises is that the key ingredient to create EZ water is light, i.e. electromagnetic energy, whether in the form of visible light, ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths and infrared wavelengths, which we’re surrounded by all the time. Infrared is the most powerful, particularly at wavelengths of approximately three micrometers, which is all around you. The EZ water can build on any hydrophilic or water-loving surface when infrared energy is available.

It builds by adding layer upon layer of EZ water, and can build millions of molecular layers. This is how it occurs in nature. For example, ice doesn’t form directly from ordinary H2O. It goes from regular water to EZ water to ice. And when you melt it, it goes from ice to EZ water to regular water. So EZ water is an intermediate state.


“Glacial melt is a perfect way to get EZ water. And a lot of people have known that this water is really good for your health,” Dr. Pollack says.

Testing water samples using a UV-visible spectrometer, which measures light absorption at different wavelengths, Dr. Pollack has discovered that in the UV region of 270 nanometers, just shy of the visible range, the EZ actually absorbs light. The more of the 270 nanometer light the water absorbs, the more EZ water the sample contains. EZ water appears to be quite stable. This means it can hold the structure, even if you leave it sitting around for some time. Water samples from the river Ganges and from the Lourdes in France have been measured, showing spikes in the 270 nanometer region, suggesting these “holy waters” contain high amounts of EZ water. According to Dr. Pollack, there’s compelling evidence that EZ water is indeed lifesaving...

EZ Cellular Water Helps Explain Health Benefits of Light and Heat Therapies


Heating equates to applying infrared energy, and Dr. Pollack has found that if you apply infrared, the EZ water builds and doesn’t diminish. The implications of this are profound when you consider the health benefits of sitting in an infrared sauna, for example. Essentially, one of the reasons why infrared saunas make you feel so good is because your body’s cells are deeply penetrated by infrared energy, which builds and stores EZ water. The same goes for light therapy, spending time in the sun, and laser therapy.
