1. A crash course on Lyme disease
2. The most effective conventional and alternative therapies
3. Supportive treatments and resources
What Is Lyme Disease?


A bacterial infection caused by
spirochetel bacteria known as
Borrelia burgdorferi
Transmitted by:

Ticks
 Sexual contact
 Trans-placenta
 Other insects

Systems affected:


Spiral shaped bacteria can infect all
organs including the brain
Symptoms caused by:

Neurotoxins
 Inflammation
What are the symptoms?

Common beliefs:




Narrow spectrum of symptoms
Bull’s-eye rash, joint pain, Bell’s palsy, flu-like symptoms
Symptoms identical in every case
Reality:


Symptoms differ greatly between individuals
“Great Imitator," Lyme disease can masquerade as:
Multiple sclerosis
Arthritis
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Schizophrenia
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Autism
Depression
Candida (believe it or not!)
Irritable bowel syndrome
Parkinson’s disease
Migraine headaches
Cardiac problems
Many more!
How Is It Diagnosed?

Common beliefs:




Doctors are trained to look for Lyme disease
Laboratory tests are accurate
Modern medicine has Lyme disease figured out
Reality




Doctors are taught that Lyme disease is infinitesimally rare
Laboratory tests are not reliable
Modern medicine largely ignores Lyme disease
Accurate diagnosis is made by clinical observation and/or a
therapeutic trial, not laboratory tests
Conducting a Therapeutic Trial
The Most Reliable Diagnostic Method

How it works:




Why it works:


Administer trial course of Lyme disease treatment
E.g. Rife treatment session or short course of antibiotics
Monitor response
Lyme Disease is one of only a few illnesses involving herxheimer
reaction after antibiotics or rife session
Interpreting the results:

Herxheimer reaction indicates likely Lyme infection
 Symptom improvement indicates likely Lyme infection
How prevalent is it?

Common beliefs:






A rare infection
Isolated to a few regions
Only in the United States
We have accurate statistics on actual number of cases
Number of cases not increasing each year
Reality





A very common infection
All 50 states have reported cases
Prevalent worldwide
Inaccurate statistics on actual number of cases
Number of cases greatly increasing each year
The global distribution of Ixodex spp. ticks able to transmit
the agent of Lyme Disease, Borrelia burgdorfei.
What the math reveals
Why CDC estimates are low


CDC: 20,000 Cases per Year in the US alone
Experts estimate only 10% of Cases Reported to CDC




Infected people do not suspect Lyme disease
Inaccurate tests/misdiagnosis
Unrealistic reporting criteria
Real Number of Cases: 20,000 x 10 = 200,000/yr
in
the United States alone!




Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients agrees: July,
2004 issue estimates 200,000 new cases per year
Unsuccessful or unapplied treatment = cumulative cases
Number of sufferers in 2006 = 1 million? 10 million?
American Cancer Society: 1.2 million cancer cases/year
l
How is it treated?

Common beliefs:





3 weeks of amoxicillin or doxycycline is adequate
symptoms after treatment are “all in your head”
Antibiotics are 100% effective
No such thing as “chronic Lyme disease”
Reality




In many cases, three weeks of antibiotics is insufficient
Remaining symptoms after treatment indicate ongoing infection
Elusive and resilient bacteria often survives antibiotic therapy
Chronic Lyme disease results from inadequate therapy








Disadvantages of long-term antibiotic therapy




Recognize and treat acute and chronic Lyme disease
IV antibiotics at high doses for extended courses (1 to 24 months!)
Advocate and hero to Lyme disease sufferers
Increasingly persecuted and disciplined by state medical boards
Some people get cured

Often not curative
Dangerous and permanent side effects
Inconvenient and expensive
The stage is set for much-needed alternative therapies
Part II
The most effective conventional
and alternative treatments
Three forms of Lyme bacteria
each must be addressed




1. Spirochete form
Conventionally believed to be
primary form but in fact, only a
small part of the problem
Most mobile form, responsible
for rapidly spreading infection
Spiral, drill-capable shape
allows penetration into brain,
cartilage, bone
Primary treatment goal to kill
spirochetes without inducing
their conversion to other two
forms
2.
Cell-wall-deficient form







Also known as variant form
or L-form
Much smaller and less
mobile than spirochetes
Can cause horrific disease
conditions including
autoimmunity and worsening
of regular Lyme symptoms
L-form bacteria were once
spirochetes, conversion
occurred to allow survival of
cell wall inhibiting antibiotics
and other adverse conditions
Very difficult to kill
Capable of Intracellular
infection
Current rife technology does
not kill them – other
treatments are necessary


3. Cyst Form
Most protective form, assumed when
conditions are most hostile
Spirochetes convert to cysts in minutes
Cannot be killed by heat, oxygen,
hydrogen peroxide, ozone, freezing,
starvation, cell wall inhibiting and
protein synthesis inhibiting antibiotics.
Does not cause symptoms
Can convert back to spirochete and
variant form at any time
Can aid in reproduction – one
spirochete can produce multiple cysts
Reason for false “cure” followed by
unexpected relapse
Spirochetes are intact within cyst
Current rife technology does not kill
them – special treatment is necessary
Killing the infection
3 treatments for 3 bacterial forms

Rife therapy for spirochete form

Invented/discovered by Doug MacLean in the early 1980s









Entire family infected - antibiotics failed
Laboratory in basement of home – observed spirochetes being killed by
electromagnetic frequencies, then cured himself and family
One of the “fathers” of modern rife technology
Very effective – bacterial shape possibly contributes to susceptibility
Treat every 3-10 days
Rife used to fight Lyme disease for more than 20 years
Herxheimer reactions evidence effectiveness
Frequencies on page 115 of my book or in the CAFL
4 specific machines have proven most effective
1. Doug Machine (a.k.a. Coil Machine or
QSC1850HD Machine)

EMEM5
GB4000 Contact Machine
Mandatory amplifier
Accessory Package

Not just effective, rife therapy is also




Affordable
Convenient
Non-toxic
Autonomous from the medical establishment
These qualities are especially important in the context
of a 1-3 year treatment campaign

Marshall Protocol for cell-wall-deficient form



Invented by Trevor Marshall, Ph.D., to treat sarcoidosis
Colossal breakthrough in infectious disease medicine
Components









Protein synthesis inhibiting antibiotics: macrolides (azithromycin and
clarithromycin), tetracyclines (minocycline, demeclocycline) and
lincosamides (clindamycin)
Sun and vitamin D avoidance
Benicar® (olmesartan medoxomil)
Successfully treats numerous “incurable” diseases!
Antibiotics 10x more effective so 1/10 dose needed
Vicious herxheimer reactions indicate effectiveness
Rosner: take breaks from the protocol. Marshall: do not.

New and radically different paradigm, so spend time researching
this – learn more at www.lymebook.com/marshallprotocol

Antibiotics, careful timing, for cyst form


Norwegian scientists, Brorsons, published 9 studies on
susceptibility of cysts to various antibiotics
5-nitromidizoles most effective:
Flagyl® (metronidazole) Ornidazole (New Zealand, Australia: Tiberal ®)
Tindamax® (tinidazole) Secnidazole, compounded, Apothe'Cure
Pharmacy, Dallas, TX (972) 960-6601








Very strong herxheimer reactions
Not sufficiently effective
Most effective cyst treatment strategy is long breaks from all antibiotics
During breaks, cysts convert to rife-susceptible spirochete form
More cysts = longer recovery, 6-48 months, cysts most likely to convert
in spring and fall
Process similar to peeling layers off an onion
Can be mistaken for relapse – without rife, it is a relapse!
If antibiotics used continuously, peeling stops, you will never recover!
Antibiotics to Avoid: cell wall inhibitors
Cause conversion to cyst, cell-wall-deficient form

All penicillins (and similar)

Examples: Amoxicillin (Amoxil®, Trimox®), Amoxicillin and Clavulanate (Augmentin®),
Ampicillin (Principen®, Totacillin®), Penicillin G (Bicillin C-R®, Bicillin L-A®, Pfizerpen®)

All cephalosporins (and similar)

Examples: Cefaclor (Ceclor®), Cefadroxil (Duricef®), Cefazolin (Ancef®, Kefzol®),
Cefdinir (Omnicef®), Cefixime (Suprax®), Cefotaxime (Claforan®), Cefprozil (Cefzil®),
Ceftibuten (Cedax®), Ceftriaxone (Rocephin®), (Keflex®, Keftab®), Imipenem and
Cilastatin (Primaxin I.V.®),
Warning! Severe disease worsening!
Part III
Supportive treatments and
resources
Mercury chelation







Lyme sufferers are more likely to be mercury
poisoned than other people – Lyme bacteria stores
and utilizes Mercury
Many wrong ways to get Mercury out, one right way
World’s leading expert on mercury chelation is
Andrew Cutler, Ph.D. – lives in Seattle
Mercury chelation is often necessary throughout
entire recovery process
Avoid IV chelation at all costs
Oral chelators of choice are DMPS and alpha lipoic
acid
Learn more at www.lymebook.com/Mercury
Systemic enzyme supplementation
(Wobenzym®)




Take between meals – not a digestive aid
Enzymes are absorbed into systemic circulation
Contains protein-digesting, proteolytic enzymes
known as proteases
Numerous benefits:






Anti-inflammatory
Antibiotic action
Cleans blood of protein debris
Immunomodulatory effects
Rapid symptom improvement
Reduces symptoms of the herx reaction without
suppressing immune activity…digests bacterial
proteins and neurotoxins
Lifestyle Factors

Diet

Avoid processed sugar
 Avoid alcohol
 Avoid smoking
 Common sense, healthy diet

Aerobic exercise
 Mandatory for recovery

Only in moderation, increase as tolerated
 Oxygenates tissues, moves lymphatic system,
detoxifies, helps digestion, balances brain chemistry

Rest



Adequate sleep is essential
Rest between aerobic workouts until completely
recovered
Avoid adrenal exhaustion by learning to manage stress
