Any new therapies, alternative or mainstream?

Hi, I'm hoping to hear thoughts on some of the new therapies and any ideas on treatments like the ones at Klinik St. Georg in Germany.

So far I have been through chelation, many supplements, ozone treatments three times a week for almost a year, diets, and finally various courses of antibiotic pulses. I'm currently using Samento, supplements, and probiotics, going to ozone treatments three times a week, and continuing a variation of an Adkins diet that my doctor suggested. I have allergies to turmeric and oregano, and my doc says that my body won't tolerate the Cowden protocol.

He monitors progress with frequent blood testing, and I've been seeing him for almost ten years. I have a history of chronic inflammation and have quite a few allergies. After seeing a number of specialists, he is the one that first suspected and confirmed Lyme. I have no idea when I contracted it, but, having once been an avid hiker, it could have been any time in my history. Symptoms started appearing in 2004 when my kids were toddlers, and my health has steadily declined since that time.

My doc was very reluctant to put me on antibiotics last November because of the effect on gut health and informed me that they will only provide short term results, but he agreed because I needed to visit a sick relative overseas. I continued with various antibiotics for almost a year, but problems with candida and intestinal health with a decrease in the effectiveness of the antibiotics has led me to stop them.

My symptoms include debilitating fatigue, sleep problems, headaches, low grade fevers, various fungal infections, brain fog, increasingly painful arthritis, and weight gain. I'm starting to become more homebound every day. I don't use a cane yet, but I probably should. I still have three teenagers at home, so stress is pretty high.

I'm just interested in any new ideas to try since I'm getting progressively worse. I see people like Yolanda Hadid and Debbie Gibson and think, "How in the heck are these people doing all of this and looking so healthy?" Does anyone know what treatments they've used? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what has worked for you or what you've heard might be worth looking into.

Thanks, and I hope you have a good day!

I sure don't think so since I'm not sure what that is!

Check-out the following for information on Biological Dentists:

The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT)
/iaomt.org

My Dentist is a member of this organization.

If you have done all the things you list you should get checked by a good biological dds. My opinion is the best is Margolis in Phoenix and he has a special ultrasound called a cavitat

could be the missing piece

No they check much much more.
They look for infections-most every other dds will miss.
Bad root canals
Fillings that you are actually allergic to.
At the lyme summit many docs spoke abut this sometimes being the key to getting well.
Both of my docs look at dental first. The best example is Dr. Rau at Paracelsus in Switzerland- he has 5 biological dds working at his clinic and you don't get to be his patient without being checked by one first.

Can you tell me more about Dr. Rau and if you've had success with any treatments in Switzerland?

I've never really had anything wrong with my mouth except a few mercury filling replaced years ago, and my LLMD treated me for heavy metals just in case, but I guess it's worth looking into.

Alyeska:

I'm curious how your LLMD "treated" you for heavy metals.

1. How did your LLMD determine you had a heavy metal burden? Blood test? Hair analysis? Oral chelation? IV chelation?

2. What was the protocol your LLMD used to rid you of the heavy metals?

3. Did your LLMD follow-up with the same test (See #1) to confirm your body no longer had elevated levels?

Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

Dr Rau- helped some but Dr. Yu in St. Louis has been the most help.

First I took a supplement, but blood tests didn't really show much of a change, and then I did oral chelation for months and showed improvement. That was years ago. I haven't been treated for it in a long time. Do you think I could have somehow gotten elevated levels again? We have a water purifier, and I have no mercury fillings.

Oh, and yes, same blood test both times.

Thanks, Alyeska.

Unless you have a job or lifestyle where you're frequently exposed to toxicants, I would imagine you have little about which to be concerned.

Personally, I'm more cautious of the heavy metal testing itself. That is, I question its validity. I have little doubt that most practitioners perform the testing with the best of intentions, but I find everything else suspect. But, that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the info.

I'm very lucky to have found my doctor who is a really wonderful guy. However, I feel like I'm learning along with him and want to discover new treatments. He'll let me try anything as long as he feels it's safe... he warned about the abx but let me have them anyway because he knew I needed to feel better to see my uncle one last time, even if the treatment only worked for a short period. Very few doctors seem to listen to their patients, but this guy does.

Oh, and you should know that the chelation made me feel even MORE exhausted and made me smell funny if you want to know the truth. I was very glad when it was over!

lyme bacteria store mercury in their biofilms, been proven. when the lyme bacteria are destroyed, the mercury (and other toxins) in the biofilm are released. so it is possible that yes you became more mercury toxic as you treated. but I dont know if that is your problem.

simple way to determine this - get some alpha lipoic acid, take 1 tablet every 2 - 3 hours every day for 3 days.

if no improvement, you are almost certainly not mercury toxic, if you do improve then graduate to taking DMSA

also check out my thread on DMSO, it is helping me tremendously

Alyeska said: "Now I'm back to where I started or worse. He really tried to get my gut health back to normal, boost my immune system, and get me methylating before we did anything else like chelation."

I think your doctor feels like an open guy and guiding you well already.
Don't go back to abx, if you have all these fungal problems, allergies etc.
that's my advice, I'm not a doctor, just based on what I suffered all these years...

In my case, candida / fungus is the worst persistent infection I ever had (for about 30 years).
Lyme was easy to treat, in my CASE, compared to fungal infections.

Are you treating babesia and bart?

---------------------
As for chelation, it's not a punctual treatment that will eliminate the body burden.
It's a life long process.

Dr. K is in chelation since the 80s, much before most of us heard about lyme disease.
He never stopped taking things to clean heavy metals from himself, so you can imagine that chelation is not an easy business.
He's been doing that for 40 years for himself!

I myself have been rotate protocols for 12 years, and I swear that adding some substances will create incredible healing crisis that convince me I'm still full of heavy metals, despite all these years chelating...

Yesterday I heard an interview with Dr. K who said: the problem today is EM radiation, that breaks the ion pumps of cell walls by displacing calcium.

the consequence is that toxins have easy access inside and cannot come out.

He gives the patient chelators, mobilizers, then heavy metals are expelled, then again taken by cells due to EM radiation: there are scientific papers showing the mechanism of destruction of ion pumps.

Anyway, he said that one of the ways he's finding to raise cell voltage of patients who are exposed to EMFields (the great majority of us are), is to make them do ionic foot baths.

He is advertising one specific brand, but in the past, he was using another device.
So I just guess that any device would do the job reasonably well.
It takes 4 months to start seeing results.

once the patient goes on ionic foot baths 2x week, replenishing minerals, taking right binders, etc the patient can do then chelation with success.
Otherwise, he said, chelation does not work anymore efficiently.


I know my cell voltage was low, because the moment I used a small device that raises cell voltage, using high magnetism, I had a tremendous huge change in my energy levels.

A tremendous healing crisis, specially from nerves that started pushing toxins out.
Incredible pain all over my body, then days after, a relief.
I still use the device (that cost me 25 dollars), called Violet Ray.

I no longer have lyme, but i still fight candida, that also takes part of my energy away.

---------------------
The MOUTH treatment is a wise advice too.

I also treated my mouth, jaws, dead teeth, amalgams...

Everything is out, cavitation surgeries done...
A lot of time and money spent, but I guess, I would not have a chance to get well if I had not done that.

Every dead tooth I pulled had severe bone infections under.
Every single tooth.

Xrays showed nothing.
Only energy tests did (or Cavitat exams can do that too, but I trust my lyme doctor for energy testing me).
He rarely failed, when all dentists told him wrong.
He was right, dentists saw nothing bad.

7 times, 7 teeth, 7 severe infections.
It was unbelievable.

-------------------------------
So mouth is one thing to do, and gut is another (in my opinion).

Mouth is done for me, I think, but I'm still treating my gut.
It's a more complex puzzle than lyme.

why?

Because almost all lyme bacteria are in the gut too (if not all), + parasites, + nutrient absorption problems, + food allergies, + toxictiy + leaky gut + bad microbiome ...

so lyme is just one little part of the picture for the gut to heal.

But the good thing of this all: when you treat at least mouth and gut, you are treating your whole body's health too.

A lot of diseases can be prevented or treated just by treating these two parts of your body.
