Hey guys. My name is Kenny (30) and I’m from Vancouver Island BC. I’ve never been diagnosed with a test but I’m 100% positive I have Lyme and co-infections. Many bites and rashes as a child but never diagnosed. I had mercury toxicity from cracked fillings in 2012 but fixed myself with chelation therapy using Andy Cutlers’s protocol from www.noamalgam.com. Andy recently passed away but you can still buy his fabulous book. You use frequent low doses of alpha lipoic acid around the clock for 3 days on and 4 days off. I completed 80 rounds since 2012. My ringing ears, debilitating hand tremors, ocd rituals and insomnia disappeared quickly. This protocol took away many symptoms but I still have a few remaining. Stirring up mercury gets Lyme pissed off. Many Lyme sufferers need to address heavy metals for a full recovery. Viruses and bacteria are attracted to mercury. Part of die off is Candida and Lyme releasing more mercury back into the system. Everyone has some degree of metal toxicity. Andrew Cutler was a health care consultant in the Seattle area. He had a PhD in chemistry from Princeton, a BS in physics from the University of California, is a patent agent and a registered professional chemical engineer. His research has led to a number of publications in chemistry, chemical engineering and space related journals.
The symptoms of mercury and Lyme are
very similar.
My bad Herxheimer reactions are jaw, face, ear, and tooth pain. Dark circles under eyes, dark foamy urine, explosive anger, complete loss of memory, brain fog, no motivation, sounds fun hey? When I’m not in herx mode I actually feel really good most of the time. I work full time and have a loving wife. I used to get the classic Bartonella streaks when detoxing but they seem to have stopped. I like the natural way of healing so no antibiotics for me.
Natural remedies to the rescue! What has worked best for me.
Over the last decade I have tried over 100 superfoods, herbs, teas, extacts, tinctures, sea vegetables etc. and these ones below produce the most violent Herxheimer reactions ever! These certainly abolish Lyme and co-infections so if you try any of them please take it slow.
# 1 - AIM Barley Life with Icelandic Kelp - a potent juice powder concentrate made from freshly juiced organic barley grass. The original “green juice powder” for over 35 years. It takes a 10-gallon container of fresh grass to make a 360-gram canister. This stuff is so concentrated it’s bloody ridiculous. One tablespoon mixed in water is equal to 6-1/4 cups of leafy green vegetables. The Herxheimer from this product is intense, the worst ones I’ve ever had are from this product. Certified gluten-free.
This green juice powder contains hundreds, if not thousands, of disease-fighting compounds such as Superoxide-Di****ase, P4D1, Amygdalin, Selenium, Iodine, Lutonarin, and Saponarin. These compounds have a synergistic effect and work together to heal the body.
I’ll toss up some more info:
"Barley Grass is the only vegetation on earth that can supply sole nutritional support from birth to old age."
- Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara, M.D.
Barley juice is anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, it lowers blood sugar levels and increases endurance according to Dr. Kazuhiko Kuboto, Ph.D. He has performed extensive research on barley leaf extract and discovered many pharmacological functions including those mentioned above.
"Barley Juice has the widest spectrum of all the necessary vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins (amino acids) and chlorophyll of ANY source on earth" - Dr. Yoshihide Hagiwara M.D.
"The variety of vitamins and minerals found in barley juice is unmatched by any other single fruit or vegetable" - Dr. James Balch, M.D.
A biologist by the name of Yasuo Hotta from the University of California, La Jolla, found the substance P4D1 in barley grass. This structure was found to have strong anti-inflammatory action, but was also shown to repair DNA in cells. What this does is prevents carcinogenesis, aging, and keeps cells in good repair. He reported his findings to the Japan Pharmacy Science Association. The report included the following|: P4D1 suppresses or cures pancreatitis, stomatitis, and inflammation of the oral cavity, dermatitis and lacerations of the duodenum. Also he found barley juice to be much stronger than steroid drugs, and had few if any side effects.
P4D1 is the first known substance to actually stimulate repair of the DMA molecule. It is possible that disease cells can be repaired with P4D1 so that when they reproduce they will actually produce good cells. P4D1 has also been shown in laboratory tests to eat the protein sheath off a cancer cell so that the white blood cells can attack and destroy them.
Dr. Howard Lutz, director of the Institute of Preventive Medicine in Washington, D.C had this to say about
barley grass: “Barley grass is one of the most incredible products of this decade. It improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and reduces addiction to things that are bad for you. Barley grass juice also improves the texture of the skin, and heals the dryness associated with aging.
# 2 - Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract Formula 103 - A powerful blend of immune boosters. Research proven Kyolic with Vitamin C, Astragalus, a proprietary mushroom complex (maitake, poria, reishi, crapake, agaricus), oregano and olive leaf, energizes essential immune functions, and protects against viral and allergin invaders. (This product brought out Bartonella scratches all over my body when I first started.)
The All-Around Health Benefits of Aged Garlic Extract
by Carmia Borek, PH.D.
Garlic ranks highly among health protecting foods, largely due to its antioxidant sulfur compounds. Fresh garlic, however, is not for everyone; it can cause indigestion and its odor is a possible social deterrent. The health benefits of garlic, however, do not depend on freshness or pungency. Scientific studies show that aged garlic extract (AGE), which is odorless and richer in antioxidants than fresh or other forms of garlic preparations, is more effective in boosting immunity and protecting against cardiovascular disease, cancer, aging, and drug toxicity.
AGED GARLIC
AGE is produced by extracting and aging organic fresh garlic at room temperature for 20 months. By combining this extraction/aging process, the antioxidant levels in the extract become higher than those in fresh. The process also converts garlic's more unstable substances, which are generally not available to the body, such as its odor-generating compound oxidant allicin, to more stable, bioavailable, and health-promoting substances. Garlic aged in this way contains stable water-soluble sulfur substances, including S-allyl mercaptocysteine (SAMC) and S-allyl cysteine (SAC), which are powerful antioxidants and have high bioavailability with 98 percent absorption into the blood. Also present are some oil-soluble sulfur compounds, flavonoids, a phenol allixin, and other nutrients, including selenium. However, it's the water-soluble sulfur compounds that are largely responsible for the health benefits of AGE.
ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which include free radicals, are toxic by-products of a normal metabolism. ROS increase during inflammation, exercise, and exposure to environmental pollutants, radiation, and sunlight. ROS damage DNA, lipids, and proteins which leads to aging and disease. AGE's antioxidant activity enhances the body's ability to make glutathione, providing powerful protection against ROS damage.
CARDIOVASCULAR PROTECTION
The risk of heart disease, stroke, and dementia increases with high levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, high blood pressure, platelet stickiness (which promotes aggregation and clotting), and high homocysteine (the possible result of a folate deficiency). Clinical studies show that aged garlic and its major compound SAC reduce risk. Given at 2.4 to 4.8 gm per day for six months, AGE lowered total cholesterol by 5 to 7 percent; reduced LDL, triglycerides, and blood pressure; prevented platelet aggregation; and increased HDL (good) cholesterol. SACs act similarly to statin drugs and can work synergistically with them to reduce cholesterol. With a folate deficiency, aged garlic lowers homocysteine, helping prevent the serious consequences of this toxic amino acid.
In a recent breakthrough at the University of California (LA), cardiologists reported that AGE cut risk factors for heart attack by 50 percent. The placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial showed that AGE given to cardiac patients, at 1200 mg per day for a year, reduced coronary artery plaque build-up by more than 50 percent and increased HDL compared to the placebo. AGE lowered blood homocysteine, while patients on the placebo showed an increase.
These results add to a growing body of data showing an AGE supplement lowers cardiovascular disease risk factors including anti-clotting and antiinflammatory effects, stimulation of blood circulation, and the reduction of LDL, triglycerides, and blood pressure.
IMMUNE BOOSTER, ANTIVIRAL, ANTI-BACTERIAL, ANTI-FUNGAL
AGE boosts immunity more effectively than fresh garlic, enhancing immune cell numbers and activity, improving specific immune actions in AIDS patients, and increasing the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which destroy invading organisms and cancer cells.
In a three-week clinical study, subjects ingesting 1800 mg of aged garlic increased NK cell activity by 155.5 percent, while those receiving 35 grams of fresh garlic per day (the equivalent of 10 cloves) had a 139.9 percent increase, indicating superior immune-enhancing benefits. A study with AIDS patients showed that NK cells, depleted by AIDS, rose to normal levels after six weeks of supplementation with the aged garlic.
Aged garlic is anti-fungal, preventing the growth of Candida albicans, the cause of infections in HIV-positive patients and in sexually transmitted conditions. AGE also kills Helicobacter pylori (H-pylori), the bacteria linked to stomach ulcers and cancer and is resistant to antibiotic treatment in 84 percent of infected individuals.
Lyme Ease?
One item that I have not tried yet is Lyme Ease by Harmonic Arts. It looks insane!!!
Maybe I’ll grab some next payday. I’m assuming the herx from this would also be brutal.
“Made with organic cane alcohol, spring water, and organic, wild crafted, or grown chemical free Cat’s Claw, Andrographis, Smilax, Ashwagandha, Teasel Root, Japanese Knotweed.”
Please share what natural remedies work for you. Happy healing everyone!
