Dennis was my patient coordinator... and sponaugle said they had been working together for years... so dennis's departure is surprising given his praise by sponaugle, bit not surprising in that im sorry to say he was not a sharp individual.
for me buying an ozone generator was totally worth it... ozone saunas 3x times a week... herx hard at first but short intense herxes... with the hyperthermia and ozone double tagging the infection... the sweating also allows many toxins from the herx to bypass the liver.
you can also get a setup for ear insuffulation to get the lyme out of the brain, rectal attachment best used after enema for 10 min for colitis etc.. and the vaginal insuffalation, not an option for me as im male, is said to clear the lymphatic system.
my gut was really messed up w inflammation, pills supplements not getting absorbed, passed undigested.... so vegetable juicing was and is huge for me.
greens, kale, celery, a lime, thumb of ginger and turmeric, cucumber, even bell pepper, parsely and cilantro for gentle heavy metal chelation....
all help with easily absorbable nutrients...and an apple or pear to make palpable... shoot for at least one liter a day
juiced vegetables also provides what is termed structured water, it is natural and different than processed water on a cellular level with many benefits over drinking water, even expensive ones
i felt very weak after sponaugle but after 3 months of juicing and ozone saunas i looked and felt alive again
turmeric was a life saver for neuroinflammation which i had severe bouts of, i was hardcore and drank shots of straight turmeric juice but it really works
i think from my experience dedicated veggie juicing is far more efficient than handfuls of supplements... and is necessary to repair gut lining
b and d vitamins alomg with c need to be replenished... a high quality fish oil
and lugels iodine is big as well... research the methylation cycle... its huge... check out dr amy yaskos work... thorne brand has a product called methyl guard to get this crucial biochemical process back on track
a diet of steamed organic veggies, progressing to include salads, and high quality proteins fish, chicken are the way to while the gut is healing
i wake up with a liter of veggie juice, then late breakfast with poached eggs, quinoa, spinach... maybe ham
then steamed veggies or big salad for lunch, then fish, or high quality protein and more veggies for dinner
the juice helps re regulate blood sugar levels as well
i dont think lymies can go straight to raw foods, paleo and heavy veggie juicing works for me
also broken cell wall chlorella is my favorite toxin binder to grab the neurotoxins lyme and co infections throw off.. taken away from food and supplements so you can scoop and poop em right out
a tummy full of chlorella while in the ozone sauna would be ideal
america is iodine deficient... about 50 yrs ago all natural iodine in food products was substituted with bromine which has the same outer electron valance as molecular iodine and displaces it in the body... same group as chlorine classified as halides, also including chlorine so if youve ever been a swimmer. iodine supplement with detox the chlorine out of your endocrine system and other tissues as well im sure... but chlorine and bromine which were put into our food supply have an afffinity for the endocrine system
iodine is huge for the thyroid which many lymies have low function of...
also enema therapy is proven as the colon is lined with the portal vein that goes straight to the liver and then heart
coffee enemas supercharged with glutathione powder will help detox the body and liver... ive done liver flushes w hulda clarks recipe and got out some early stage bright green still soft gallstones...
then yoga has been big for me, but unfortunately i had a hand and shoulder soft tisdue injury that now prevents me from it
also a good product called Cell Food is a great source of trace minerals
The above is the result of years of research and trial and error... its fairly simple and really not that expensive... 1 year of the above is the cost of one month at sponaugles clinic....
they accused me of fabricating my neuro herxheimer symptoms saying "that i liked to play games" and told me if i felt like that i should go to the ER after taking about $30 k... the money goes to the "clinics" insane overhead, theres literally almost 20 people on staff....
i went late 2012 early 2013, maybe thimgs have improved, but no one else while i was there was very happy... one girl i was there at the same time with was literally cussed out by sponaugle for complaining after an error by her coordinator cost her over a week in treatment progress while still staying hotel
sponaugles a good man, but has a god complex... and alot of what he presents as his own i had already read during years of undiagnosed illness...
his clinic was a substance abuse detox center until renamed sponaugle wellness center in early 2013.. after he found most addicts lots of opiate addicts while i was there which he treated with subutex or whatever its called...
but he found that most addicts had lyme and co infections and were self medicating... so that is a major contribution... but when i was there.. i went after a mold exposure.. then found out why id been ill for ten years after diagnosed lyme, rmsf, bart, mycoplasma....
but they treated me like an addict... its been 3 years so maybe there staff turnover has come with a change in patient empathy
but if you know you have lyme, i strongly advise not to get into that place... take care of yourself and dont subject yourself to that place when you know what i know
the protocol i outlined above may not be complete, but if ypu stick with it you will get better... it may take a year... i quit some of it befire ozone saunas, cheating on diet... some alcohol and caffeine as i am in my twenties and trying to blend in...
but know that any deviation is a setback...
treat it like a drug rehab program, stay committed to yourself and you will see results... light exercise is important... i found yoga to be the best for me as it opens up the spine joints as its where the little buggers hang out
promolife is the company i bought my ozone generator and oxygen concentrator from
you can always find a wellness clinic near you... for a vitc, b iv... maybe they have a myers cocktail... and you just pay for the iv not the salaries of an overblown staff
research dr robert rowan... he trains all of the ozone practioners in the us
major autohemotherapy and UV blood irradiation work...
i found a guy in the greater dallas area that does both combined and it helped
if youre in dallas his name is AG Patel down in Cedar Hill
if your in a major city, search google for dr robert rowan and ozone to see if there is a practioner near you if u want to try iv
iv may be necessary if you want to tackle biofilm busting fast, but concurrent detox support is crucial
he takes 200 cc of blood out, ozonates it, passes it through the UV light then back in through IV... it was $250 a pop, not cheap...
but if i had found him before sponaugle...
i could have had about 120 of those ozone UV treatments (at that volume i bet i could have bargained a 50 % discount) ... 2 a week for a year while living at home for what i paid at sponaugle for three months... and about 25 glutathione ivs and 20 or 25 hydrogen peroxide ivs along with a bunch of bs
sponaugle did also utilize dark field microscopy labs from Fry labs in AZ which is huge tool... you can see the infection, biofilms and gauge your progress
even if you find a dr who is not lyme literate, a CD57 panel series, and fry lab blood smears will enable you to take control of your treatment and spend as little time in our rat maze of a healthcare system as possible
Stephen Buhner has a book with an herbal protocol, the protocol uses nutramedix i believe... some people say that worked for them
again i had a very severe late stage case... so hopefully your journey back to vitality will be swifter than mine....!
the overseas clinics in germany offer hyperthermia, major autohemotherapy ozone, and iv nutrtion supp... but as ive illustrated that can all be done in comfort and affordably at your convenience in your home
whenever i have fallen off ozone saunas and diet i start to not feel as well... but now im back on it.... its not a bad way to live... so many toxins in todays world outside of lyme disease as well
H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) and ozone are both forms of OXIDATIVE THERAPIES.... oxidation is a huge bio chemical process of the body
along with METHYLATION. [Dr Amy Yasko], and organic sulfur is part of livers stage 2 function I believe...
if you have MERCURY POISONING, the DR CUTLER PROTOCOL is available online, with many followers using Alpha Lipoic Acid as a safe gentle chelator
To round all the bases there is one last thing i have read about called the PK PROTOCOL, it is an IV phospholipid and glutathione program developed by Dr Patricia Kane... all membranes in the body are composed of phospholipids and are broken down and inflamed by lyme and co
i think her program may work for some but isnt necessary... essential fats re fish oil, high quality proteins... broths... etc work to the same end and when you heal the gut... IVs are as necessary as your body can assimilate nutrition you ingest normally once again
many swear by a product called MSM, not to be confused with MMS, which is another oxidative therapy but it was rough for me...
this is a rant, but I just spent 2 hrs collecting my thoughts from years of walking through the fire.
if youre in the same boat print this info and do your own research on the key points... most allopathic drs are not up to speed on these things
best wishes, James
