Hello out there in the online world. It's been months since I've posted, so I want to touch base.<br />
Lyme update: Even though my symptoms are 90% in remission, I've noticed a recurring theme of fatigue. Since Lyme is a cousin of Syphilis, which shows up and then goes under, it is a reminder that I should remain vigilant in zapping, exercise and juicing.<br />
<br />
I went to a local Medford, Oregon doctor, Dr. Cullen who said he gives all his patients 30 days of antibiotics for 'treatment'. I asked if he then retests them to make sure the Lyme (Borrelia B forms) are dead, and he said no. I told him this was malpractice. He said his patients 'felt better'. Of course they do, I said, as the spirochete burrows through their tissues, creating inflammation and infection, and the antibiotics address that. It won't kill the Lyme infection, but is like a temporary analgesic for the damage done.<br />
Eye roll. Head shake. Moving on.<br />
<br />
This local doctor was suddenly unavailable indefinitely from his practice after I shared my experience with one of the nurses co-facilitating the Lyme Support group (SOLD/Southern Oregon Lyme Disease). The Western Blot test with Igenex has to be paid up front, and the Insurance Company doesn't allow the patient to pay the bill, so it's obviously a strange combination, as the Clinic won't go into the hole and order and pay for it, not being fully reimbursed. The local doctor wrote my diagnosis as 'fatigue', not Lyme, and said I was 'untreated' because of course I had not had the 30 days of antibiotics. I was treated by Dr. Cowden.<br />
I have felt I was on my own for some time. My dilemma is if I spend the $250 or so? w/ Igenex, for a result that may still not show the 'required' bands for Lyme, can I afford that? The last one showed the antigen? for flagella. C-41? I'd have to dig the test up.<br />
<br />
Good news: Just listed my MPV minivan in Craig's List for almost nothing, as the heater core is leaking, and now some external head gasket leak. A fellow from Grants Pass who has an MPV called and said Don't! I know what is wrong with the leaking. It's a small hose. And, the heater core took him an hour to replace. Hope in the Rogue Valley. (Believe me, it is rogue here. I have never met so many dishonest, dysfunctional people in my life in one area. But, maybe it's the theme for the country with the leaders voted in the last few years.)<br />
<br />
Bad news: Just found out my First Street brand Sweetened Condensed Milk is made from rbST-free milk, but has GMO sugar beets!!! No wonder when I made my turmeric ginger tea I felt like total CRAP every time I sweetened it with this condensed milk and coconut milk. Glyphosate (from GMO's) surrounds aluminum and allows it to pass the blood brain barrier instead of being eliminated by the stomach. Glutamate is also a culprit for cancer, and both aluminum and glutamate are found in vaccines!!!<br />
If you want a final resting place for your vaccine questions, see the video below. An interview with a female scientist:<br />

<br />
I had to call Smart and Final at 323-869-7500 about the First Street brand, and found out it's a private label, and the Customer Relations gal, Karen, found out the sugar on the label is not cane, but beets. So much for muddy labels. "Milk, Sugar"<br />
I'm going to tell Cash N Carry, not that they are an organic store... and look for another sweetened condensed milk brand w/ cane sugar. Sometimes I just want my Mexican Coffee. Iced. It's made w/ the SCMilk. It's an occasional treat. Without it, my life of Lyme celibacy may not be bearable. :o) Only one cup on weekends?<br />

<div>
I am drinking my newest anti-cancer/inflammation concoction this morning..</div>
<div>
My customized recipe is in my comment on Dr. Mercola's comprehensive environmental toxin article, below. He includes a large list of cleaning alternatives. Did you know the US bans 11 toxins in personal care products like soap, shampoos and toothpaste while the EU bans over 1300?<br />

My comment on the article above, and recipe:<br />
(Because of Comment content limits, I've edited my comment below to be more helpful.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
**For water storage, I keep several 5 gallon jugs of 5-staged filtered water, and then, I take it from the ceramic dispenser and put it through a coconut medium filter. Shaklee makes them. The water is sweet. I don't like storing water in plastic jugs, or drinking out of them. I'd like to see a ceramic reservoir container that uses a Coconut filter. (With no plastic jugs on top or plastic pitchers, regardless of BPA free, etc.) In my car I use an empty glass quart container for water. My daily routine is putting a one quart widemouth full of water and working on it throughout the day, to stay hydrated. It's hard for the body to clean out all these environmental toxins without water. My goal is to get 2 qts. of water in a day, but part of that can be tea, etc. A cup of coffee acts as a diuretic, and has to be replaced with 2 cups of water, so for me, coffee is a luxury.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Another 'luxury' I found lately is using organic cotton 'Swisspers' or cosmetic pads to put on a facial PH balancer or take off makeup, which I don't use much any more. Cotton is heavily sprayed, and whether it's used in tampons, clothing, towels or cosmetic pads, I don't want the residues. I actually cut the Swisspers in half to half the cost.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My neighbors use dryer sheets, which fill the outside air with those nasty toxins. Most are unaware of this pollutant. The article above is a great article for cleaning ideas and alternatives. I've been using Shaklee's cleaning products, mostly made from corn and coconut surfactants for a long time. Very economical. I was invited to pay attention when diagnosed with endocervical cancer in 2004. Instead of breathing up chlorine gas with dishwasher products like Cascade, for instance, I encourage my friends to use Shaklee's enzyme-based product, dryer sheets, etc. I like my friends to stay around. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Exercise moves things along in the blood, like water helping me to avoid what I call 'sludge blood'. The newest preventative tea recipe I've found on Dr. Coldwell's? blog is also a welcome alternative to regular tea or coffee:<br />
My version below:<br />
Boil 1-1.5 cups of water. I like 1.5, as some of the water is lost in simmering. Turn down to simmer (5-7 min.) and add 1/4 tsp. dry ginger and turmeric, and about 1-3 tsp's of fresh grated ginger. The original recipe called for adding the ginger and turmeric and bringing to a boil, but I like to use lower heat to preserve enzymes or qualities that may boil out, so I've started doing it this way.<br />
<br />
When my timer goes off, I pour the tea into a large mug through a strainer & add honey to taste (I use a tsp.) Add a Tbsp or so of coconut milk. You can use Coconut cream, or add your daily Alzheimer's prevention of a dollop of coconut oil. (I'd still add the coconut milk, though, even with the oil, because it makes such a smooth creamy cup of tea. Very pleasant!)</div>

The judicial crew that came up with this definition of lack of expression is pretty lame, or corrupt. They didn't want the lawsuits to be successful, or a precedent set to regain accountability in any Govt. office. </div>

Non-verbal surveillance because of whatever fear of abuse of power or public keeping law enforcement accountable because of a legion of illegality and excessive force, or merely expressing interest in the process is a right not to be given up. Ever. Non-verbal expression is legitimate, regardless if the photographers were deaf and dumb. No one has to 'say it right' in the complaint. The act of photographing is expression.</div>

P.S. Asking the American Public to trust Police cameras will operate and be released without doing the Hillary 'dump and smile' is a blatant Conflict of Interest request. It's called Contempt of the very people that hire and trust you to do your job. </div>

Are they really requesting we be that 'Unsophisticated'? Like the holograph images of planes hitting the Trade Centers which showed the side of the buildings through the plane wings? LOLOLOL, The 'wrong' engine left by a Govt. Terrorist employee/Bumbler that United Airlines doesn't use, the stupid placed passport, or the piece of a plane not belonging to the alleged one running into the building. How disrespectful. Like Bush's face. I'm waiting for the Military General to come back and clean house, because folks, we've been dismantled by liars and cheats like the stooges in this court.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Meanwhile, take a listen to Pilot Leer and others (Youtube-before they sanitize it for 'our own good') who explain why the planes never hit the towers or the Pentagon, (impossible and 2 engines, not one hole and no plane parts left...)and how Russian intelligence has satellite proof that our own Terrorist Government created a False Flag to excuse their Oil/Banking hungry illegal invasion of foreign soil.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Most people don't have time to read or listen, and accept media fraud, read from supplied scripts. I am furious at the ignorance, cowardice, relentless crime and apathy. Who can actually stand to look at or listen to Bush, Clintons or Obama? How have they become our Leaders? Disgusting. Stand Up! If not for yourselves, do it for your children and grandchildren, and for the world that depends on the goodness in America. </div>

Scalia's Murder. Should we bend our minds to believe he 'just had prior health concerns', or look at the Abnormal Death Protocol?<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Texas law says an "unattended death" MUST have an inquest. With a pillow over his head, the ranch host being a buddy contributor to Obama and the importance of Scalia's position, anyone should know it was a hit. A phone call to determine cause of death from Judge Cinderella Gueverra, vs. a visit, a reported embalming before... an 8PM phone call with his Physician late in the day after he was found dead, aligns with murder. Brazen murder.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

We cannot blame it on "incompetence" because it was deliberate. </span><br />

We all have heard this 'stand down/open door to opportunity' before...in history.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0d0d0d; letter-spacing: inherit; margin: inherit; padding: inherit;">Saturday, June 14, 2014 is the first post about my experience with Lyme. I include as much information as I can about tests and various treatments. </span></h2>

A special court has paid out several billion for vaccine injury, though thousands have no resources to pursue this for their own children, or their cases have been turned away.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0d0d0d; letter-spacing: inherit; margin: inherit; padding: inherit;"> Since 'safe' vaccines are a myth, and there is no long-term study done on the effects or efficacy of the almost 40? vaccines being marketed, pushed and legislated for us and our children, parents need to do their own research. A former Pharma rep did his when he had a child, and there was so much more research showing why NOT to vaccinate, he and his wife chose not to. Listen to Dr. Moulden's presentation on Youtube about vaccines in general, and catch up on the news that Nagalase levels are very high in Autistic kids, which shut down the immune and cause cancer and autism. The only way it could have been introduced is with vaccines. Dr. Bradstreet found this out, and used GcMAF to activate the body's immune system macrophages. His clinic was raided by the FDA and only days later he was found dead, shot in the chest. The overseas manufacturing plants making GcMAF were shut down. I sent this information to one of the nurses I met with Lyme, who was injecting herself with GcMAF to the tune of $1000 per vial.</span></div>

Every parent has a responsibility to read and protect their family and self.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0d0d0d; letter-spacing: inherit; margin: inherit; padding: inherit;">Why has Europe been able to ban GMO's, and Americans are overrun with them, to the point that there are DARK acts introduced, not allowing us to know what we're eating or feeding to our children? Who puts controls on corporations, and who actually owns Monsanto?</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0d0d0d;">Ebola and anthrax have been introduced as bioweapons. Perhaps that is what Legionnaire's is, or AIDS. Malaria kills thousands each year, and yet two doses of Chlorine Dioxide showed -0- infection when retested. The Red Cross participated in this videotaped study, and now deny it. The CDC, FDA, Red Cross, etc. need to be thrown out and ethical organizations created to replace them.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0d0d0d;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0d0d0d;">If you don't know that the Government redefined Polio, reducing the numbers artificially to show vaccine efficacy when the amount of cases had reduced dramatically prior to the vaccine, that nuclear fallout and a push to tell Mothers to use Formula vs. breastmilk (which passes Mom's immunity to the baby) happened before a rise in Polio, then you need to educate yourself. Laziness or apathy won't protect you and yours, nor will blind trust of your Government or a 'Doctor' getting kickbacks from Pharma.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0d0d0d;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0d0d0d;">The address below on Youtube is of a former Merck sales rep who refused to vaccinate her child after much research. She found that vaccines are about Profit, and not Public Health. When there is risk, there can be no mandatory vaccines. Listen to her detailed, factual presentation to learn how vaccine safety trials are different than normal drugs, how we give our kids twice...the vaccines as European children, and our SIDS rate is very high, and our kids are very sick with Diabetes, Allergies, Neurological Problems like ADHD and Autism, etc. </span><br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a>This post is to follow up on the previous post of my experience with Lyme Disease. It is my belief, that if we share what has worked for us, and what we've learned with this nasty disease, that we can help each other, and our families and friends to better understand and support those who suffer with this horrible infection.<br />
<br />
First of all, contagious vs. infectious: Lyme is considered an infectious disease, as we are infected with the Borrelia Burgdorferi when we're bitten by an infected tick, flea, spider, gnat, horsefly or mosquito. Remember, I shared research of people from Asia infected w/ Lyme who were documented to have gotten it from gnats and fleas. The transmission of Lyme is not just in specific areas, or just because of ticks. The size of ticks by the way, are often as small as poppy seeds. I spoke w/ a Medical person in Utah who insisted that Borrelia are too big for many insects. He is mistaken. When this spirochete or bacteria w/ flagella is threatened by antibiotics, it throws down particles with the DNA necessary to produce new spirochetes. There are six different forms of this bacteria, including the protected, cyst-type, that survive the body's immune system. Borrelia also can hide in the red and white blood cells, in tissue and organs and inside the bone marrow, as people who use the HBOT or Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment tanks for treatment, have learned.<br />
<br />
Like other pathogens, we can kill a majority of them and get the numbers down with certain treatments, but if any are left, they will simply burrow in connective tissue and reproduce, to come out again with a vengeance when the immune system is compromised. Since Borrelia like to feed on cartilage and collagen (think connective tissue), the feeling of losing this on your ribs, the sides of your feet and throughout the body in joints like knees and hips and shoulders is painful, and the residual inflammation a stamp of evidence that you are a host to a hungry band of critters.<br />
<br />
To really complicate and challenge us, there are least 60 (sixty) + different co-infections that can accompany Borrelia when a person is infected. The tick (or other insect bites) are referred to as 'Nature's dirty needle'. The biting insect has also been feeding on blood from rodents, birds, deer or other animals. When the animal population is down, they move on to humans. They are opportunists.<br />
I can just hear George Carlin: "And they like to share"...<br />
Co-infections include parasites, virus's and bacteria, like protozoa, Ehrlichia, Babeesia, Bartonella, etc. that can cause additional symptoms and make humans very...sick.<br />
<br />
Transmission of the Borrelia and its 'friends (tbd)' is a concern, as it's passed in vitro to the fetus, can be passed in families, with fluids involved in sexual activity, kissing, coughing, (any saliva) blood and tears. It can be passed on in Mother's milk, or unpasteurized milk. Though I have not read any evidence that Lyme is contagious as in shedding of virus's like a friend of mine read about after getting a Shingles vaccine (7-10 days or longer), and may have been the cause of the Measles outbreak, flu, whooping cough, etc. from 'the vaccinated' to those unvaccinated or immune compromised, Lyme is 'infectious', so caution is called for or required.<br />
<br />
Last night I listened to a fellow who has had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for ten years, and finally went to a Naturopath who sent his blood to Igenex, and he tested positive for Lyme, Babeesia and Epstein Barr. I hope he starts the MMS protocol, or finds one of the many out there, that will work for him.<br />
A Pathologist educating on Lyme found the spirochete in all of the brains of those he studied who had died of Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's seems to be a placque-involved disease still not fully understood, as to how aluminum (which is in everything from hair dyes, food cooked in alum. foil, vaccines and chemtrail spraying-documented in labs-see story below marked ***), and Vitamin B-12 deficiency etc., are involved. Vitamin B-12 deficiency can come from Bariatric Surgery used to cause weight loss, diet or drugs such as Metformin, etc.<br />
Before a person accepts a diagnosis of Dementia, or early dementia, a nutritional profile should be done, along with what nutrient-sucking/blocking medications they've been put on, because a lack of Vitamin B-12 and other B's can cause confusion, memory problems and other cognitive impairments. And NO, your Doc will not let you in on the secret that his bigger income, supplemented by recommending Pharmaceuticals have caused your problems. Search 'Medication-induced Nutrient Deficiencies' on this blog to see a generalized chart showing different diseases and side effects that come from types of medication use such as aspirin, blood pressure and cholesterol meds, etc.<br />
<br />
One of the isolating and frightening realities of Lyme, is that whole families have gotten it, and it can be passed on during pregnancy to the fetus and cause miscarriage, stillborn babies, etc. if the mother has Lyme. As dicussed, blood, tears, saliva and sexual fluids are also possible transmitters. When I had my instant cough with Lyme, I worried constantly about passing this nasty stuff on. I have not read any scientific study that shows how long Borrelia can survive once exposed to oxygen or air. I found that I had black mold, Candida and Pneumonia in my lungs, along with Borrelia. When Dr. Cowden did his Biometric testing, I had an astounding amount of a certain kind of Lyme to a ratio of body parts. I could have also had a co-infection of roundworms in my lungs. Part of my Lyme treatment was a strong Parasite Cleanse.<br />
<br />
I remember flying home from Texas, and having to keep my coughing mouth covered the entire trip, while breathing in everyone's concoction of deodorant, perfume, sweat, dust, cigg smoke and toxins, etc. It was like an asthma attack for me. Think of those who don't know they have Lyme, and recycled air.<br />
<br />
There is so much to share. I hope my efforts will help inform you and inspire you to do your own research. You cannot count on doctors, who may still think a dose of Doxycycline or several days or weeks of it or various kinds of antibiotics with possible side effects of organ damage and death, will erradicate this Borrelia survivalist.<br />
<br />
Only approximately 50% of those infected actually get a bullseye rash, and it takes up to two weeks for that to appear. To hope the exchange of fluids involved in an infected tick feeding didn't infect us, or a dose of Antibiotics would just kill everything may be a bit illusory.<br />
There are 100 different Genomes of Borrelia in the US, while Europe has 3. This points to genetic alteration to destabilize the bacteria, or bio-warfare, which is what happened on Plum Island. This is where we get the name for this tick-transferred disease: Lyme, (therefore, not Lyme(s))Connecticut. Infected birds were allowed to get the bacteria, and they flew across the bay to Lyme, and a lot of children came down with this disease. I believe they had neural Lyme symptoms, which include seizures, nerve damage and a palsy of the face and Arthritis. 'Lyme' or Borrelia seems to keep morphing and evolving. Does anyone know the number of times our Government has done unethical, illegal tests on the incarcerated, mentally ill, military or general public?<br />
<br />
Within 12 hours, this bacteria is in the frontal lobe of the brain. I think I'll scan my Driver's License picture so you can see what Lyme looks like....on a good day. (Coming soon). You can see the brain fog and fatigue. The amount of sleep it demands cuts into meal times and I was so tired that I often wasn't hungry. I had no appetite and things didn't sound good. I eventually lost 25 lbs. The damage to muscles and nerves, the infection in the brain and heart and other organs and tissues and the amount of horrible pain and damage to the Synovial tissues and joints demand....sleep.<br />
I also ended up with a torn retina in that left eye that I reported had been invaded by this spirochete. Retinitis and other neuritis or inflammation is common with those who have Lyme. Check out the forum reports that most docs seem to be oblivious of. Maybe they see this Qualitative Data reporting as "Anectdotal"-that lousy excuse for dismissive malpractice-kind-of-talk.<br />
My 'retinal specialist' denied or negated any association with Lyme. I bet half of his patients have Lyme. The fact that his office was so full, and the parking all the way down the neighborhood's street said something was going on. I wonder if they even sterilize their tools, or pass this stuff from one person to another, like the dentist's tools that people are way too trusting about.<br />
<br />
Had my pain threshhold not been high, I would have been bed-ridden. I am also single, and had no one to make me meals, check on me daily or able to offer much assistance. I did have a neighbor who would bring me juice from the store and offer to mow my lawn, etc. He didn't cook, and a neighbor that did, didn't have the slightest idea about GMO's, nitrates, etc. He would bring fleas into my house from his infested cat, so that option was out. Another of my neighbors has a wife who is a heavy smoker, and the residue on his clothes would make me sick, as I'm still very allergic or sensitive to cigg toxins. This points to a fungal infection of Candida, which is why diet, lack of antibiotics to cause more fungus and things like Candex and Grapefruit Seed Extract were also part of my treatment.<br />
My neighbor/friend and I stopped walking together for exercise before the Lyme problem because downwind I could get instant sinus swelling and then get sick. So, I had my challenges.<br />
I told my son that should I start having seizures, I may not make it, which at that point, I felt okay with. He of course didn't like hearing that, thinking it was 'negative', but a person with Lyme, undiagnosed by the ignorance of the medical field, left to suffer, will often die of heart failure, etc. Many suicide-as much as 20-25%, so it is an act of courage to fight and survive this disease, not so much for the suffering it brings, but as for the extended suffering set up by a medical field untrained (no internist in Portland, Oregon or infectious disease doctor was trained in Lyme or took my insurance. The insurance company had no list of Lyme Literate Docs. These guys use antibiotics mainly, anyway, which harms the gut flora, causing immune deficiencies and worse problems like Celiac and IBS, depression, Candida overgrowth which morphs into the fungal form. The DNA of Candida is cancer. Candida was what caused my endocervical cancer, along with the Macrobid given to me for urinary tract infections. I also had recurring sinus infections which would often travel to my lungs, causing bronchitis and pneumonia). I remember the Uro-gynecologist who could only offer more antibiotics for urinary tract infection prevention. <u><i>One of the side effects of Macrobid is a reduction of white blood cells, which of course opens you up for infections and cancer.</i></u><br />
A note on antibiotic-using docs: If they don't know which strain of Borrelia or which Co-infections you have, and are not trained on Parasites or nutritional deficiencies, how can they 'practice' good medicine, vs. just giving one Antibiotic at a time, or several, or in a pic once a month like a Niece of mine gets to the tune of $1000+ ? <b>Since even my niece's symptoms come back, that is evidence that the antibiotic may be resolving some of the infection and inflammation of the damage done by this spirochete and friends, but it isn't 'curing' it which in this case means killing the Borrelia and friends.</b> Eventually the dysbiosis of the gut flora will turn on you, as the immune system has a priority of digestive work. Not only will the brain be unable to produce the chemicals to function and you'll have Depression, anxiety and brain fog, but you are on your way to cancer, female problems, colon diseases, etc.<br />
<br />
Pro-biotics are your best friend, found in a simple Optiflora 'pearl' that gets to your large intestine where you need it (I use Shaklee's triple- enteric coated brand), or yogurt and fermented vegetables like Kimchee, raw sauerkraut etc. Dr. Mercola has recipes for fermented veggies you can find from his search box or check Youtube. If you are on Anti-biotics, you'd most likely need to space the Pro-biotics so they don't interfere w/ the Antibiotic. You can put yogurt in a green smoothie, or pop an Optiflora before you go to bed.<br />
<br />
There were two or three Naturopaths in the Portland, Oregon area who treated people with Lyme. They of course were not covered by most insurance companies. I also felt they were just 'practicing' what they knew at the moment. I don't want to 'manage' this disease. I want to eradicate it.<br />
One office quoted me up to $500 for a consultation of what their 'protocol' was. ???. I ended up spending $500 per hour with Dr. Cowden, (usually 2-3 hrs.) who was training another doctor and his clinic members. This included a flight to Dallas, as he practices once a month for a week in Flower Mound, Texas, hotels for a week and renting a car and eating out, and then about $1200 worth of 'supplement's. It was individualized instead of the normal Cowden Protocol which is a one-size-fits-all. They did biometric testing, running my frequencies through a myriad of pathogen possibilities. They can even tell what my ancestors contributed and fought, as there is a genetic cellular history.<br />
<br />
Mainly, I worked up to 40 drops of Samento and Banderol alternated with Houttunia to kill the Borrelia, took Pinella (a brain detoxer) and Parsley alternated with Burbur for detoxing as we killed the Borrelia, took 2-3000 mg. of Vitamin C, Vitamin D liquid drops, drops for my Adrenals and took a Parasite Cleanse every month two days before the full moon cycle till two days after. This may sound strange, but these varmints and parasites actually become active and reproduce during these times. You can find this info on Government websites yourself by Google or other search engines. Killing the Borrellia became about stealth, letting off of treatment, and then hitting them when they came out to play, when they were vulnerable, without the hard cyst protective coating.<br />

<b>My plan has been to kill 90% of these things, which is what the microscope shows after the Cowden protocol</b>, so you do feel better, though there is a lot of healing left to do w/ muscles and nerves, etc. I also started having heart palpitations, and so I backed off the Samento etc. till I'm down to 6 drops, which is like a homeopathic dose.<br />
<b>Then, I'll take the MMS (Sodium Chlorite activated with Citric Acid to create Chlorine Dioxide)</b>, which goes into the blood stream and ends up a small grain of salt. It kills a lot of pathogens, and there are reported cases-a man and his son (I saw their pictures on <b>Ms. Rivera's Autism One presentation</b>), a young woman I watched on Youtube, an Australian who saw results in only two days, and is now symptom-free etc.)<br />
I saw results in one day-like a lifting of this curtain of fatigue and pain. The acidic-like smell and taste like chlorine (it's not chemically the same) didn't appeal to me back then, and I felt I needed more. The killing with detox, immune building and parasite cleansing, etc. was a good mix or balance for me, and I'm glad I went for a more in-depth and personalized treatment. Our bodies are individual. I have my own health history, and the 60+ co-infections possibilities are added to my own biological history and weaknesses.<br />
<b>Not to forget</b>: part of Lyme is dealing with the Biofilms that float like a cancer thru the blood, housing this critter and his friends, protecting them from the immune system. So....I alternated daily taking Serrapeptase and a Vegetarian type Enzyme to dissolve those biofilms. VERY IMPORTANT I think, but a problem is how much enzyme is good for the body, and for how long? Where are the long term studies on dose, etc.? I didn't want to start dissolving critical body parts. When I got palpitations, I stopped the enzymes, and started backing off the Samento, etc. Another woman had palpitations when she took Samento at the beginning. I was already on 40 drops, so I'm not sure what that is about, but there are too many unknowns here, and I opted on the side of safety. It could merely have been a migration of the Bb's to the heart, the Adrenal supplements, etc. but this pointed out my need for a Doctor I could speak with for followup... Not depend on a month or two email reply wait. The lack of trained local doctors is a huge problem. Here in the Ashland/Medford, Oregon area, a nurse said there is not one LLD (Lyme Literate Doctor) in Oregon. Doctors who agree to see Lyme patients here already have 3-400 patients and are full.<br />
<br />
I will start with one activated drop of the MMS or sodium chlorite in 1 cup of water, taking one ounce every hour. I have to set a timer, as it's really easy to get lost in when I'm supposed to take it. I get busy, especially emptying my two storage units and moving them into a new house. The only reason I was able to move and lift and load and supervise a 26-ft. Uhaul is that my symptoms have subsided for the main part with the Cowden Protocol. Movement in Physical Therapy helped, too. LOTS OF SLEEP!!! Pamper yourself. Forget about missing out on something in life. My truth was in order to heal, I had to rest, and I learned to luxuriate in it. I couldn't have done that very easily or well if I was still raising my seven. Lyme folks need support!<br />
<br />
The sun (100 more days of it than Portland) and warmth in southern Oregon helps my Lyme Arthritis, and the Vitamin D is crucial for healing. When I was in Utah and then Texas for a week at a time, my pain level with the arthritis reduced by half. Dry and warm helped a lot. Portland, Oregon is so beautiful, but the wet rain and cloudy weather and changing barometric pressure was really....difficult on the Lyme Arthritis. My challenge is to start juicing and eating well again when my house is a pile of boxes and I'm tired. I get sore from working, but nothing like happened March of 2014 and on. I am healing. There is hope. I still fight feeling alone in this battle, and I get down. When I feel down, I seek comfort, which is not the best diet. Juicing, etc. is such a fight at times.<br />
<br />
Kerry Riviera's crew had the best success taking MMS every hour for 24? hours (See <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5W_ky0RH8A <br />
as part of the protocol, as it doesn't allow the bacteria time to regroup and hide, I think. MMS also kills parasites. Enemas are important to clean out the dead stuff which is toxic, from the colon, and organic coffee enemas get the liver to dump the toxins. The liver is our main filter.<br />
I must be doing something right, as during the look for a place to move, I stayed in a motel and met this guy who was going to his room. He just stared at me, and said...."your skin". I'm sure what also helps is my Shaklee eye treatment and Enfuselle Balancing Moisturizer. I love...it. Anyway, his comment gave me a little boost of hope. Those infected with Lyme need every bit of positive feedback they can get. Meals. A snack. A visit. A phone call. A card. An invitation to 'coffee or tea'. It's easy to be isolated and start down the Rabbit Hole.<br />
<br />
One of my daughters has a Halloween birthday, and mine is the 20th of October. We met at the Olive Garden for supper, which is among the normal restaurant serving GMO's and hormones in the milk and meat and inorganic coffee, etc. Sometimes I had to just 'cheat' to get some food in. She looked at me and said, "Mom, have you thought about your mortality lately? Because you look like you are dying." I was, but I told her my next door neighbor had told me that week I was looking better. I decided to stick to his comment for my reality and direction. He had seen my progression and then inching out of the grave.<br />
Of course it's hard for family to see this type of thing. I then heard how I didn't know what I had, and needed blood tests and a work-up. I didn't have much patience for more idiot Doctors screening for Depression so they can make a little on the side w/ some Pharma scrip, when I could die being treated for my symptoms (100 possible w/ Lyme and I had 30+) while the Lyme was untreated. One internist x-rayed my lungs and sent me to a Pulmonary specialist because the Xray tech said I had COPD. (The 'specialist' disagreed, but tried to market the flu shot three times. Kickbacks a little?) Grrrrrr......<br />
She also wanted me to see a Doc for the Arthritis. When I asked the Rheumatologist's receptionist how many Lyme patients she saw, I heard she didn't know, but my Primary Care Doc should be treating me for Lyme. I said she is untrained in Lyme, and hasn't even referred me to anyone, and seems unable to. She really seemed irritated that I had done my own Medical Research as usual, and came in with my own diagnosis. I needed her to rule out or verify Lyme. What other disease has a Bullseye rash? (Erythema Migrans). I finally got the Western Blot from the next and so far, last doctor who was another epic professional failure, which shows only 14% of the cases of Lyme, and it showed the Flagella, which is the motoring part or Antigen of the Borrelia. There are supposedly only two other bacteria with Flagella: Syphillis or Dental Caries. I'll see if this information is correct.<br />
<br />
Now that I've moved, I will have those 'ruled out' to get an Oregon Medical Doc licensed here to finally give me a Social Security-accepted legitimate Diagnosis of Lyme just in case. You'd think with 30+ symptoms and a Bullseye rash which only about 50% of people get, I'd be lucky enough to get at least a 'Clinical Diagnosis'.<br />
What a bunch of Hooey to have to deal with when you feel so sick.<br />
<br />
During my ordeal, my next-door neighbor saw my decline, until I could hardly get up and down the steps, or drive. Lifting my legs into the car and turning my neck were tough. I had to use two hands to shift the car. I couldn't brush my hair for months, and it fell out wherever I was, until I could move my hand in a circular motion on the carpet when I got to the point that I could bend down that far, and get a big bunch of it. Probably lack of protein or nutrients as I had no appetite and most food sounded awful --contributed. I had to lift my right hand to the shower knob to turn the water on, lift my legs one at a time into the tub to shower, and I could barely shampoo my hair. The right side had much less range of motion. The muscles had atrophied, shortened and pulled other muscles out, until I was a knotted mess. I couldn't reach in the back of the fridge, or get down on my knees or get up easily. I had to be very...careful with the knees, etc. They felt stiff and dry inside, like they could give out.<br />
<br />
When I witnessed a pedestrian being hit at 40+ mph and tried to kneel beside him to determine if he was breathing for the 911 Dispatch, my knees gave out, and I fell to the road. I'm sure the people around thought I must be the one who hit him, and was drunk. Not me, and I don't drink. I certainly didn't want to break my fall with his body.<br />
<br />
After suffering for so long, I got really irritated with the ignorant doctors I had gone to. Half a dozen incompetent people who would only treat the symptoms, deny I had Lyme, argue, not read an article I handed to them of a study of the Western Blot for instance that I included in the last blog that gave very important information, etc. I had to be my own doctor as usual.<br />
<br />
I went in once...to a fellow who immediately began screening me for mental health issues, and asking questions if I smoked, had diabetes, had had a mammogram, a colonoscopy, etc. Marketing all of this crap7489020-093480q1pdfk.mzn,m when I had floaters in my left eye. (Hello-a preview of retinal detachment or a tear...) He became angry when I said I'd be glad to give him blood next week (which he initially agreed to) for a Lyme test, but by the way, which Lab do you use, and which test? He seemed not to know the answers, and all of a sudden came in and said "We are drawing blood today!"in the best authoritative tone he could muster. "We said next week", I said, after having explained that sitting blood over a weekend waiting for the lab to open can clump and mess up the results. No thanks to more time and confusion.<br />
<br />
"What did you come in for, anyway?" (His learning Doctor student assistant who had said it was mandatory by my insurance company to be screened every year for mental health issues like depression had also asked me a lot of stupid questions that I had just filled out on their New Patient Sheet.)<br />
I should have said, have you looked on your Intake Sheet? Instead, I said, "My eye."... He of course didn't have the equipment to see anything, and he referred me to someone, but failed to hand me the referral or put which company it was beyond a phone number.<br />
Later, before I left his dysfunctional office, when I requested the Mental Health Questionnaire, which was provided by ....a Pharmaceutical Company, he got friendly and said they were 'his' forms, and he just does this screening once a year w/ his patients.<br />
<br />
My insurance company's Customer Service Supervisor lied to me, saying if the Questionnaire didn't have their name or letterhead on it, they had nothing to do with it. Since 3 docs in a row had handed me this ridiculous sheet and others, one threatening if I didn't fill them out I would have no insurance, I finally found out through a <u><i>mistakenly honest</i></u> insurance staff that yes, these were Quality Metrics', and there was money to be had for them and the docs for inquiring about six different possible conditions. From whom??? Can you guess? Pharma. This is nothing but a class action lawsuit waiting to happen, lying and extorting unsuspecting people with lousy insurance for the economically challenged to fill out unasked-for forms to market unnecessary drugs and medical procedures.<br />
<br />
I was so angry...wasting my time and the reason I even came in, with marketing to come up with 'unnecessary tests and drugs' to get compensated by Pharmaceuticals. What fraud. More later. This is a serious problem in healthcare today.<br />
<u><i>I have not been to one Medical Personnel that I would recommend since I became infected with Lyme. They would all get F's in several areas. Perhaps it is time to just give them an internet Review.</i></u><br />
<br />
Note on Colonoscopies: A friend just related how his wife went in for a Colonoscopy, was full of tumors, and oops...they called to inform him to come to the ER because of course, they had nicked one of them and she was bleeding. After that reparative surgery, the doctors asked permission to open up her chest and upper torso to do an exploratory. Yes. Full of cancer, which of course now would absolutely go all over, due to the Lymph system that cleans their surgery mess up. Not that she could survive two surgeries when her system was fighting cancer already. She died 30 days later. I told him they asked basically to do a pre-autopsy. Wouldn't a non-invasive test or using the knowledge they now had w/ tumors throughout the colon have given her a chance to seek alternative help?<br />
<br />
It is not the Lyme that causes me to be extremely angry at this malpractice. It's the consistency of the stupidity. So, when you are marketed by idiots saying you need a yearly anything, just say NO>! Mammograms give unnecessary radiation, and a recent article finally admitted with all the false positives and removals of breasts and tissue that were benign, Mammograms have not reduced breast cancer. How about looking into the environmental and food toxins that fatty tissue stores? Use non-aluminum baking soda for your deodorant and eat organically well. And remember my tip-off about the 6 great money-makers so the doctors can afford their steak meals, cars, mortgages and pay off the school loans. What happened to 'the best interest of the patient'?<br />
<br />
After the 6th? Doctor I went to, seeking a Primary Care Doc to refer me out, I went across the street and met a woman quite disillusioned with the gal Physician's Asst. I had just seen. She said she was diagnosed with Diabetes and lectured on her weight before the tests were in, which showed no Diabetes. I realized after my next and last visit that this former Client probably ran into the Screening for the Half a Dozen Procedures and Meds list: Quali-Metrics that I had, in the final visit.<br />
<br />
I requested a Physical Therapist (PT) after paying for a few massage sessions and seeing a young Chiropractor, knowing my range of motion may not come back or my muscles that had deteriorated if I didn't get some help. PT helped immensely. I remember the Internist/Primary Care gal fighting me at every turn, even asking if she had made the referral to the Physical Therapist. I had to call in and request Physical Therapy to get the referral. I finally told her I didn't need this negativity and stress with my Lyme, or actually, at all. I told her I did not have the energy to both fight her (ignorance) and educate her on Lyme, when I needed help. The next office was horrific also. I could write a book just on the ignorance of the Medical Field with Lyme Disease. Cancer was no different, actually. Both my Pelvic Oncologists were unethical. And dense. You really have to do your own research instead of hoping you are going to an educated, intelligent medical person who has integrity. That's a hard combo to find, I've found. Maybe in another post.<br />
<br />
Back to my neighbor and another one or two. They were all amazed at this vibrant active woman changing 180 degrees, to a disabled person who could hardly get down 3-4 steps, and who disappeared in her home to sleep and barely function. I am grateful for their care and offering to help w/ my lawn and watering the flower beds when I left for the week to see my Mom as she was passing with Alzheimer's. She had stopped eating and drinking. It took 12 days for her body to deteriorate w/ the lack of liquid and food and the morphine added in, to let go. Fifteen minutes after I got home to Oregon from Utah, I got the call that she had died. My neighbors-M, J and R helped the following week with lawn care when I was gone to Texas, to see Dr. Cowden, also.<br />
<br />
I am so independent, that when they'd offer to mow the lawn after that, I'd usually say no, and it went a while sometimes, as I was determined to do it myself. My friend R was patient, as he inevitably had to mow after it had grown too long. I didn't want to become an invalid. Not being able to mow my little bit of lawn and water a small garden made me angry. Better fighting angry and irritated than to sink into a Depression. I had to fight for my life. It's pretty disillusioning knowing that even Cowden's clinic was presenting Lyme as being 'managed', not being able to get a Social Security AMA state-licensed positive test or diagnosis and knowing if my money ran out, I was out of luck. People with little resources have my utmost empathy. If nothing else, the best bet is the $20-25 bottle of MMS like one gal on Youtube had used, as she had -0- health insurance. The lab had never seen all but one of the antigens turn from positive to negative, and then all of them negative.<br />
<br />
Another friend brought a portable sauna igloo, but getting to the ground and moving to get inside was too difficult, literally. I did it once. I can't take heat as well.<br />
<br />
I also bought an 'Ultra Zapper to kill the little bugs with a frequency that would rattle them till their guts spilled out like I'd seen on video. It's like the Rife, only one frequency. I felt 2-3 times as tired the next day, like a Herx reaction, but unlike the actress Karen Allen, my symptoms didn't disappear after a four-hour session of alternate zapping (7 min.) and resting (20 min.). I think the different possible co-infections are a big part of the varied treatment results AND how long we've been infected. Who knows which 'bug' has which frequency? I didn't ask her if she had the arthritis w/ her Lyme. (See video below. Yes, on joint pain, which left 48 hours after zapping.) She suffered for a couple of years at least, and spent several thousand dollars-$20-30,000 before finding the Zapper which helped her. Her headache of 2 years was gone the next morning after her 4-hour Zapping session. She uses it if she feels a little bad or ill and has never gotten sick in ten years, or returned to her Lyme Hell. I'll review the emails we shared and add more later. This reminded me to find my Zapper, and use it weekly. (I found and added her video/audio account below.)<br />
<br />
When my mother passed in September, a brother gifted me a little money, and a sister shared part of her inheritance, as I had been cut out of the will and estate. Something about not being Mormon perhaps, or the fact that I was not about to betray my children that had been abused by several family members, to maintain 'membership' in that group. The family back then didn't seem to know how to handle this news, and turned their backs, saying it was none of their business, or just pretending that we were dead.<br />
<br />
When I went to Utah to say my last goodbye to my Mother, I let go and just loved them for who they were. I had forgotten what family felt like. Even today it's hard for them to deal with me, as no, I'm not 'coming back' to the Mormon religion. One sister told me it was because I was angry and bitter and remembered everything that I got cancer and Lyme. She said my job was to 'move on'. Besides requesting she not assign me emotions, or blame the victim as it's also called, I asked her what 'her job' was? She had no reply. It is quite the challenge to be human, isn't it, and to love regardless? The differences in our lives can separate us from our friends and family, but we can only do our best. How would a tick seek out someone who was feeling angry, anyway? Would it be angry all the time, or only when you thought of certain unresolved things that would make one a target? EEEEEK!!! I told her never to utter such things in a cancer ward. And...I am not interested in joining or participating in any religion or organization that shuts others, including family out, like a cult because they choose not to join or belong, or have different beliefs.<br />
<br />
The two sibs that shared enabled me to go to Texas the next weekend without so much financial stress as I hadn't worked in over a year. The brain fog, incessant cough, fatigue and chronic pain didn't allow me to think I could listen to other people's problems as a Social Worker/Counselor and do a good job or last an hour. An appointment had been cancelled by someone else to see Dr. Cowden, and I began my road to recovery. I had the suggested supplements shipped to me after my appointments that week to avoid the airline fluid restrictions post-9/11. The Government will keep us 'safe' while killing us softly with Lyme, GMO's, Chemtrails and vaccines.<br />
<br />
I had been reading and using Silver, Vitamin C and Salt, some MMS, Pao d'Arco, Turmeric, that desert herb Chapperal and Olive Leaf. I thought about Teasel root, but it was tiring not knowing the doses, or how long, etc. Lyme folks need a support medical person. One they can afford. Raping people financially while they are dying is in pretty poor taste. The poor or unfortunately broke may not make it.<br />
<br />
Well, it's now 10:16 AM and I haven't had breakfast or gotten ready for my day. I wanted to write this while it came up, to further give my experience and help others on this road to Lyme recovery. I left my initial account of Lyme on my blog without adding any other subject, to make it easy when anyone came to the site, to find this information.<br />
<br />
I am removing my storage unit lock today and am planning to go to Ashland and put my feet in the creek at Lithia Park as a reward for clearing out this last unit. Believe me I am aware of standing under trees or putting my feet in tall grass or dead leaves without my socks over my pants, etc. I am also going to up my magnesium and selenium, and B vitamins to see if my blood cannot be so tempting to ticks and mosquitos. It might be genetic, like a lack of enzymes or co-factors to make these nutrients that set us up.<br />
<br />
My remaining challenge besides keeping an eye on my diet, exercise, stress level and health in general is to understand when I can safely have a relationship, as I'm single. Those like Yolanda Foster and Avril Lavigne are already married when they got Lyme. The possibility of passing this stuff to someone, even if it's 90% gone or 'inactive' is not what I'd want to do. It is true many have it without knowing it, and the blood in the US is not filtered or screened for it, but I wouldn't want my worst enemy to experience this journey. It's been painful that my youngest daughter with a toddler who is normally a bit overprotective with her first says if there is one chance in a million that her son could catch it, she doesn't want him to be around me, and to deal with that. I've lost the cough thank goodness, but some of my kids still think of me as a Leper, and they are nervous because I've given them a heads up on the 'infectious' part.<br />
<br />
It would be very hard to take, at 60, for me to finally be ready for a mate, when I could pass this on, and be single for the remainder. MMS and I are going to get quite friendly. With the bad, faulty test results, of false negatives and positives, work needs to be done to better diagnose. There are new tests coming out. Now to make them affordable, and for the Medical Doctors to have Lyme Disease become part of their training curriculum. To not be the case, along with the CDC interference and their false information out there like "there is no such thing as Chronic Lyme" and removing two of the antigens from the testing that strongly indicate Lyme for no reason, says there is a Government agenda. Do you know what the reason or agenda might be: past bio-warfare experiments and/or depopulation?<br />
<br />
Testing: Blood Cultures: Check with Sharon, a nurse, who had a lab in Pennsylvania culture her blood. It grew the Borrelia. A positive result, not to be argued with. I didn't quite catch the name of the lab in our phone conversation this morning (7-7-15). She told me there are still no LLD's in Oregon. Just 'practicing' Naturopaths who use antibiotics and herbals... and a few MD's prescribing antibiotics.<br />
Her Youtube video from 3 years ago w/ her contact info:<br />

Information on this lab and culture is now included in the first? Lyme posting.<br />
<br />
Below: Karen Allen on her Lyme Recovery using the Ultimate Zapper.<br />
In my own search for what would work to heal my Lyme, I bought a Zapper as I shared, and used it for the 4 hrs. 7 min. on, and 20 min. off. I felt 2-3 x more tired after using it, but my joint pain was still there. Karen's joint pain left in 48 hrs., but her headache of 2 years was gone when she got up the next day after her first 4 hr. session w/ the Ultimate Zapper. The frequencies kill parasites, bacteria, virus's, etc.<br />
Today when I listened to this Youtube Audio interview again, I realized I may have had on some kind of metal when I did my Zapping. The lethargy of not wanting to move or make efforts to do what you need to was really a strong part of my Lyme, as was depression and just feeling alone. Also, there are copper and steel hand holds and foot pads now. I think w/ our personal frequencies, one may work better than the other. I will contact Ken Presner, as they have a lifetime warranty. He will discuss your purchase via email.<br />
Since my symptoms seem to be in remission or mainly cleared, except for some residual fatigue and depression that comes back when I'm off the Cowden Protocol Supplements totally, it may be a good time for the Zapper. The MMS may also be part of the cleanup of this disease.<br />

After searching and receiving a misdiagnosis of 'depression' (which for me is just an attempt of a Physician to push a patient away because he/she don't have the answers to test and treat Lyme) IV's, etc., here is the simple 6 product protocol of a woman recovering well from Lyme.<br />

***Chemtrail Account: In my journey of looking for a home, I called a fellow who was selling his place. He opened up and said for me not to move there, because he said the chemtrails are so thick, they settle on your skin like a fog, and the red moss growing around his place afterwards, he took to a lab. There, it was found the moss was full of aluminum. He also said he was thinking of New Zealand for a place to live, as the Prime Minister there went to the United Nations and said if there were any planes spraying chemtrails over his country, they would be shot down.<br />
<br />
Yes. The question is: Where is our protection? For aluminum or Lyme? What do our tax dollars support, anyway?<br />

Lyme Journal... Shooting From the Hip<br />

Suddenly. "Shh. I complained to myself, wasn't my endocervical cancer ten years ago enough medical drama?" What is the purpose of this event in my life? Not only does my Government want me to die undiagnosed, (the tests are unreliable) untreated, (hard to find a Lyme Literate Doc, or to afford one) attack the doctors that are having success and believe in and treat 'chronic Lyme', and even remove Lyme as the cause of death on the certificate, I have an 'infectious disease", and am unwanted in many circles. With the cough that comes up mainly when I'm tired, stressed, try to talk or try to lay down to sleep, suddenly, I am leery of passing it to someone else. Like my new little grandson.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(The cough could be caused by Borrelia, Candida, Mycoplasma, Roundworms, or ? Just a little much to deal with. I have to find the humor. I've had to learn a lot with this disease. ) Along with humor, I have to accept with chronic pain and fatigue, my tether is shorter, and I have less patience.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">** (</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cough: parasite cleanse and vitamin d, c and Coq10. CoQ 10 gives energy to the cell and helps get rid of that coongestion on and in your lungs. Hot herbal tea. Hydrate. Exercise to move blood flow and oxygenate.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I had to hand this new grandbaby back to his parents when the asthmatic-like cough felt like it was coming up, and wear a scarf around my mouth. I think my cough began with a toxic exposure, but got really awful with clear really thick congestion.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Tears, sexual activity, kissing, (body fluids) sharing drinking glasses or utensils, mother's milk and crossing the placenta. These are all areas thought to pass this Borreliosis infection.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">**I want to know how long Borrelia can survive when exposed to oxygen, outside the blood and body fluids?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">**Most people are in the dark when it comes to how Borrelia can be transmitted. Infectious or contagious? Transferable by fluids can mean kissing, sexual contact, coughing, saliva and blood, breast milk or unpasteurized milk from an infected animal, placental blood. Whole families have Lyme without each member being bitten by a tick.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">If your doctor tells you that since you didn't have a bullseye rash you don't have Lyme, know that only roughly 50% of people with Lyme get that Erythema Migrans rash. Find a more knowledgeable doctor.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Another large TRUTH: The US doesn't screen its blood supply for Lyme (Borrelia Burgdorferi).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In 1983? when I gave birth to my 6th child, my youngest son, (the father of the new little lad they call their 'little BLT', short for his long name), the placenta had come half way off when my water broke. I got to the hospital Feb. 14th at 12:00 AM, and my son was taken C-section at 12:31 AM. The blood loss almost killed me. Were the truth to be told, the disturbing revelations in my marriage directly before this birth, made me lose some of my will to live. My blood pressure looked non-existent, the Doc doing the surgery cut mistakenly into my bladder, but somehow after blood and 2 units of Pack Cells, Mom survived. My little son was laying in a pool of blood, limp, when they rescued him. Though their APGAR scores foretold of possible trouble, that same son is happily married, and is now a new practicing Attorney.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Who knows what conglomeration was in those 2 units of 'pack cells'?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">About 6-7 years after this birth and blood transfusion, being single, I had a Western Blot done for HIV. There were bands in my blood, but they were 'atypical' of HIV. No one ever told me what they were indicative of. Lyme can be carried for years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(No matter what testing circus your doctor may want to put you in, ONE band is indicative of Lyme.) See Dr.'s Study pasted at the end of this post, below.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The corkscrew Spirochetes nestle down in cyst form, deep in connective tissue. Upon a stressful event-surgery, a trauma, an emotional loss or grief, or some affront to the person, Borrelia can use this opportune time when the immune system is compromised, to unleash with a vengeance, and tear through any tissue faster than blood.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(Or, Borrelia and friends can be shared by that infective nymph- stage tick, 10-14 days later on average, 40-50% of people will get a bullseye rash, and then a menu of symptoms will ensue. 70% of people get a severe arthritis that migrates to all or most joints if left 'untreated'. Muscles can waste</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">But throwing (treating) Doxycycline at Borrelia is just threatening it, and it covers itself with a hard cyst-like covering or throws down particles with the DNA to produce new spirochetes, or it hides in red or white blood cells, tissues and bone marrow. A reduction of symptoms doesn't mean it's eradicated. (A recent Hansa Center article stated a study showed a 100% infection with the spiral Lyme organism, seen in the blood no matter what treatment-HBOT, antibiotics, herbal, Rife, etc. July/2015.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Testing: The Physician writing on the Western Blot (end of post) gives important information about this test, when to send the blood in, why the choice of labs is important, that anti-biotics killing some of the Borrelia will help the immune system create antibodies and show a positive, that repeat tests should clear the antibiotics out of the blood first..</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I had two stress-filled events the last part of March. Overnight, it seemed like my muscles were suddenly deteriorating after use, not healing (especially my biceps, calf and main upper leg muscles), the connective tissue behind my knees became stiff and rigid and my knees swelled so that it was painful and impossible to fully bend them, the connective tissue in my neck would pop and my neck was really stiff. Even the inside connective bands that hold the legs in line were stiff and hurting.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Overnight, I went from having no pain as a woman who was almost 60, and could move like a 20-30 year old, to someone who was partially disabled, like an arthritic 80-year old. Both hips and arm sockets felt like I had grown a full set of arthritic spurs. Quite a thorough feast for the Bb's.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I could have also gotten this Lyme infection when I lay out in the sun in my backyard on a blanket in the grass in March sometime. Or, it could be a reinfection because of the symptoms before...the Bullseye rash. My life has always seems more complicated than it needs to be. March is when Portland, Oregon was getting the usual peek of sun, and then overcast weather and rain. Sun-starved, I lay out one day, and became tired, and allowed myself to drift off, as the weather turned a bit windy. I brought both ends of the blanket over me at that point for warmth, and took a Sunday nap. Ticks can be the size of a poppy seed. I feel like I have paid for finally relaxing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">With my severe overnight arthritis coming two weeks before...the bullseye rash, I either had a toxic exposure, or a reinfection, or both I believe. Later I learned the ratio of Borrelia to my own body was extremely high which indicates a long-term infection. With a toxic exposure and symptoms and then a bullseye, it makes me wonder how I could be so blessed? My karma has been historically clumsy and ill-timed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">**Note: A next door neighbor who grew up in New Jersey said when he was a kid they would put down a blanket in the woods, and the ticks would attach themselves to the blanket. They like the warmth of the body. Had I known.... However, because of the high ratio of Lyme to my body parts, I probably was infected years before through a blood transfusion and had both a toxic exposure and emotional upheavels right before I was re-infected after laying out in the Spring on that blanket. A man I met that is a Tracker w/ his two dogs has been reinfected at least a dozen times. The Tetracycline given to him finally by the VA has helped, but not cured his infection, because of his symptoms of arthritis and memory problems. Sometimes coming out of the woods or wet areas he and his dogs would have 50-100 ticks on them.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I don't have any pets, but since I've moved in, some of my inconsiderate neighbors have allowed their animals to use my backyard as a toilet. Maybe they let the animal out at night, and it finds its way over, I don't know. But between the fleas and cats at large and amount of dogs here, it's a breeding ground for trouble. It's not just deer that carry ticks. Birds, dogs, etc. are carriers, and then there is the new evidence that fleas, gnats, mosquitos, horseflies, etc. are also carriers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">It's also a bad idea to walk or sit under trees, or sit in close proximity to dry oak leaves, etc. Walking through brush or grass can bring contact with ticks, etc. Pants need to be tucked into socks. Wide-brimmed hats.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Taking a good multi-vitamin and a B complex is a good idea, and using lavender oil, etc. before going outside.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Now, Borrelia is not the only one that comes 'to the party'. There are what are called "co-factors" or co-infections, like other bacteria and parasites that add to the misery of the infected person, and making it hard to diagnose. And, yes, people can be infected multiple times.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">THIS is one of the reasons a Dark Field Microscope is needed in EVERY case of Lyme: To hopefully verify Borrelia, and to identify the co-factors. A drop of blood on a glass slide, so the truth is seen. But, it is not always found. How else would a Medical Doctor know how or what...to treat? While it is true the symptoms may indicate Babesiosi or Erlichia, etc., I am one to want to know the beast I am fighting. Now I hear that the Borrelia may not be seen in a drop of blood, and that there are multiple strains of the types of Borrelia. (100 different Genomes) So, that is why my Doc suggested not to spend $750-850 on tests, but on the treatment, and to rebuild my immune system. I still think infected people should have affordable, reliable tests to specifically treat all that's there. Blind treatment is not good practice. It's not just about 'building the immune system and detoxing', it's about killing the specific pathogens that are making you sick. Changing the environment to alkaline with diet and juicing, killing the parasites, etc. is important, but knowing what you are infected with is pretty basic, as bacteria, virus and parasites respond differently to various treatments. The Lyme spirochete is a stealth warrior, for instance, and has to be treated with a pulse-type schedule. On. Off for 24-36 hrs, then on, even doing parasite cleanses before, during and after a full moon. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">AFTER treatment, do NOT think because symptoms have retreated, that your Lymes and co-factors are erradicated. That is a cheap lie or denial, and a danger to you and your loved ones. Why would anyone want to pass this miserable disease onto loved ones, like a sexual partner, or a friend, grandchild, etc., or have it return with a vengeance? Perhaps like HIV, if one gets the 'numbers' down, and the bugs aren't 'active', the chance for transmission is less, but I am more demanding when it comes to being responsible, because I don't want to pass this on. With a previous cough that comes up, like asthma, and then a sudden cough w/ my Lyme, I just work at covering my mouth, and hope to build my immune to the point that coughing is no longer part of my life. Moving away from the cigarette smoke in this small community will help. Flying in an airplane w/ everyone's aftershave, perfume, cigs, etc. is a challenge for me, as I've recently flown out-of-state for treatment. I had my mouth covered the whole flight. I wonder how many have gotten infected by things other than a tick bite.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Dr. Lee Cowden, a Cardiologist, has developed a 190-day Protocol, for instance, with Microbials vs Antibiotics that can ruin the Immune System and can cause C-Diff, etc. After 3 courses of treatment, he smashed the red blood cells under the microscope, and found Borrelia hiding inside them. He then lengthened his treatment, and retested. Still he could only ensure about a 90% kill, which means they can regroup and resurface, like their cousin, Syphilis. This is science- NOT getting relief and having some ignorant Medical Doctor assure you that you're well. Some doctors are now saying perhaps 93% of our population has Lyme, and it has just not emerged yet. A family can have it, and it can look different, as Lyme attacks the weakest areas of the body.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">From my few facts above, I think you can imagine why this disease is isolating and lousy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Within 12 hours, Borrelia is said to be in the frontal lobe of the brain. It's waste and life cycle create neurotoxins, causing brain fog, anxiety and depression. Mine gives me a sleeping-like sickness. An hour after breakfast, I want to lay down. I feel like a zombie. I can sleep till 1 or 2 pm in the afternoon instead of getting up in the morning, and have now set an alarm. I never want to move when I wake, as it hurts almost everywhere. If I don't move, or get my exercise in like a walk, I will feel more stiff and painful. However, if I do too much, I pay for it for 1-3 days. One of the early symptoms I had was using muscles, and feeling sore for days, like the torn muscle fibers were not healing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">For a long time I didn't have any appetite. I lost at least ten pounds. (See update. 25 lbs.) I will list my symptoms, so you can see how 30+ symptoms might feel like to deal with, with this Lyme. Besides looking disabled for some, and exhausted in the face and eyes, or having neural Lyme and having them rip through nerves and give the person a Bell's-like Palsy or seizures, it's hard to empathize when someone looks somewhat normal.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Ignorant doctors who don't know what to do, how to diagnose or treat, often throw abuse onto the Lyme-infected person by saying it is mainly psychological, they must want attention, or they should see a Mental Health Professional. These Medical Personnel need to be written up with their Licensing Boards. I ran into one who is not practicing any more after twenty years, which is a gift for those he would harm. I was discussing my research on Lyme since I'd become infected with it, and suddenly he got up saying he had lots to do, and that I'd find my problems were mainly "psychological". Poor guy. I was giving him a summary of Dr. Cowden's findings, and he didn't want to hear the last sentence. He said he wrote books now for preventative health. With his AMA/Western Medicine outlook, he should just stop writing, and explore some alternative research instead of disseminating more bogus information.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Warning: (A slight diversion:) During our conversation in a Happy Valley New Seasons eating area, I brought up my problem with Michelle Obama's 'plan' for kids' health, as the GMO foods, especially High Fructose Corn Syrup with its Glyphosate/Roundup cause cancer and obesity. What good food choices are there any more? The former Doc pointed to New Seasons. I told him not everyone can afford these prices, and you still have to be diligent to find the #9 in front of fruit, like grapes from Mexico, as it's not all 'Organic'. Our school lunches are not offering organics. What do the Obama kids eat?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">........... Back to Lyme Disease, or Borreliosis....</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A normal experience is going to 6-30 doctors, spending out-of-pocket or more/less till Mr. Piggy Bank is empty, (or facing bankruptcy from traveling to doctors and expensive medications and supplements and tests) until perhaps a Naturopathic Doc is consulted, co-infections found, supplements, detoxers, enzymes to destroy the microfilms housing lots of Lyme and friends and anti-parasitics are given. (See the Documentary a young husband filmed, below. They were from Canada, spent over $300,00 and suffered for years). Many don't have this energy or money or family support, and just give up. Some suicide. The young woman in the documentary shown below, suffered terribly, passing out 6-7 times a night w/ the pain level, seizuring, etc. Not until the newly- consulted U.S. Naturopath put her blood under a microscope and discovered the Malaria-like Protozoa co-infection, did she get anti-parasitics and began to get better.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Whether it's Teasel Root Tincture, Olive Leaf, Pao D'Arco, Neem, Serrapeptase to dissolve Biofilms, Zeolite for heavy metal removal, Timed multiple Antibiotics for 6 weeks that take into account the reproductive cycles of Borrelia and coaxing it into the vulnerable soft body form (because w/ threat, Borrelia hides in Red or White Blood Cells, or forms a rough fibrin coating our Immune System won't recognize or an L-form cyst that keeps safe), 190-day Cowden Protocol, or Macrophages/Homeopathics acting as 'Assassins' from Hansa Center's Dr. David Jernigan, Dr. Dietrich Klinghart's wisdom, Diet and exercise to strengthen, or a $20 bottle of MMS (Sodium Chlorite (I always want to say Sodium Chloride. Must be the residual brain fog. lol)) etc. there are many success stories out there. I've been researching a bit. Below is the success story of Karen Allen of 'Indiana Jones' fame. She had a headache for two years and multiple symptoms before zapping for 4 hours, and losing all her symptoms within 48 hrs. The headache was gone in the morning. Her story in video interview is below. She hasn't been sick in ten years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Despite the disinformation from the CDC like the number of people infected per year (about 300,000 estimated) , or total infected, (Germany had 1 million new cases in 2012) or people that die of Lyme, and their strange little IDSA....lying conflict-of-interest-laden panel and many clueless "Lyme Literate" docs, there is hope with applied knowledge.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Some don't get the bullseye rash. Those w/ the target-like phenomena say it feels hot, but doesn't hurt. I had one appear on my left leg AFTER the arthritis hit. It was April 15th, and the Mt. Hood ER Doc gave me 1 week of Keflex for "Cellulitis". He based this diagnosis on the fact that the center silver dollar size rash was hot, and my arthritis appeared first. Well, people can be reinfected or bitten more than once, and who knows how my individual response played out, and why.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"What do you want me to do?", he asked. "Rule out Lyme Disease", I said. That's for your Primary Care Doctor. We have no way to test it here. I felt like he was a waste of my time. Maybe he was angry because I told the intake gal that I would be asked....before any procedure was done or 'scrip' written, because it's my body. Doctors kill a lot of people. They are not Gods in my eyes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I had no Primary Care Doctor.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Lyme transmission is not just from ticks any more. Asians w/Lyme come to the US having being bitten by fleas and gnats. Spiders, horse flies, mosquitos, etc. are possible transmitters and Lyme is in every country and state. Many Doctors and lay people think Lyme is just on the 'East Coast'.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Everyone has different symptoms of Lyme, with some more usual ones like fatigue, muscle and joint aches, a stiff neck or stiff ligaments on each side of the knees w/ fluid that gathers behind them. Symptoms often rotate or migrate, and can change overnight. The spirochete feeds and moves on. It's said they like the oxygen-scarce connective tissue. Starting each morning deep breathing, and exercise is important.</span><br />

<b><u>My Symptoms So Far...</u></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Bullseye Rash on left leg. Grew to be about 6-7". 3 weeks after...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Hard arthritis in hip, knee and arm joints.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Lack of healing in Muscles.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Atrophy and stiffening of muscles. Causes other muscles to be pulled out of place.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> *Myalgia. It travels.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Stiffening of connective tissue behind knees.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Fluid behind knees. Sometimes in right foot. (Do bicycle exercises on your back, before getting up in the morning. Slowly...respecting your damaged muscles and connective tissue...)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Stiffening of neck/Meningitis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Headache</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Body Aches</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Fever</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Night Sweats.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*They're in my heart. Causes racing heart and odd rhythms.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Strange loss of sight temporarily in my left eye.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">They're in my eyes. Especially the left. (Led to floaters and then a serious Retinal Tear. See Update)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Loss of Appetite. No interest in liquids. Easy to shut down.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Between loss of appetite, sleeping for hours and missing mealtimes, fatigue and chronic pain I lost 10 lbs. Update: 25 lbs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Lethargy. Don't feel like doing much. Making meals is a hardship.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Fatigue. Want to sleep all the time. Feels like some sleeping sickness.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Swelling and dislocation of Jaw.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*All dental work feels like it's leaking.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Can't eat solid food for 2+ weeks. Can hardly talk.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Throat on fire for 2-3 weeks.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Lymph nodes in neck on fire for 2-3 weeks.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Sore shoulder, back and neck muscles. They atrophy and lack range of motion. Have to support my right arm to turn on shower.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Instant cough. Cough till vomiting sometimes. Thick clear mucous-like a biofilm.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Strange nerve sensations in face.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Strange nerve sensations like crawling and numbness on head.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Hair hurts. Can't brush it, and can't reach with right hand to brush.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Extended, angry veins on sides of forehead.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Brain Fog, like I'm observing my life vs. living it. I'm slow and feel like I'm fading.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*A bit depressed. Especially when I feel isolated or contemplate the damage. I figure I'll be around as long as I'm supposed to. The unknown causes anxiety. Chronic pain causes depression and sleep problems.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Who wouldn't feel depressed when we're sick, tired and in pain, and can't find trained doctors who know what tests to use, how or when to test, nor how to treat this Borrelia infection w/ it's 60+ co-infections. The ignorant 'Doctors' want to divert their lack of knowledge by saying it's psychological. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Disabled-vulnerable to walk down stairs, down a street or to cross the street. Couldn't walk faster if a car veered towards me. Very scary to get into the bathtub. Can't imagine what a fall would do with these stiff joints.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Can hardly bend over to pick up anything, put on shoes and socks, etc. Takes a long time. Can't kneel down, get up from the floor easily, couldn't make my bed for months or look on any bottom rack of the refrigerator. No bent over and forward motions. *Disabled range of motion. Very stiff.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I have to lift my legs into my car and to get into the shower.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">*Emotionally vulnerable. Cry more easily, b/c of chronic pain.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Relief:</span></u></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> Soak in a hot bath of Epsom Salts. Throw Alfalfa tabs in the tub. Take Alfalfa or make Alfalfa tea. It is very alkalinizing. It helps arthritis. Buy a meal out if you have to. Stay away from GMO's and more poisons. ie: Panera has good soups. Fruit at Farmer's Markets. Juice! Cucumbers are very alkalinizing. Drink Protein Smoothies and take supplements. Salads. Take a Probiotic or eat fermented foods. Research and listen. Rest. Listen to good music. Walk like your life depended on it, slow or slower. Get sun. Massage is wonderful. Watch movies to get your mind off this Lyme visitor. Read some new books. Have coffee w/ friends. Sometimes a bit of organic coffee will keep you going past the Sleeping Sickness stage. Limit coffee and caffeine. Try and hydrate. Herbal tea-Sun tea or iced-Non-caffeinated is good. Juice. Water. Remember. Despite the disease inviting you to sleep your life away, slowly get up, get a hot shower and greet the day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Plates of fruit and snacks. Cheese, nuts, veggies, etc. Hummus, boiled eggs/deviled eggs, Roasted chicken, salads, etc. Look in cookbooks or online to see what appeals to you. I was grateful for meal shakes and Non-GMO soy protein shakes from Shaklee. Juice gives almost instant nutrition with little energy needed, so the immune can work elsewhere. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Probiotics are critical! Balancing gut flora creates an immune system that operates at optimal levels. I like Shaklee's Optiflora. Fermented foods.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">CoQ10 helps heart health and creates energy at the cellular level.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Vitamin C. I like Shaklee's 500 mg. Sustained Release. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Anti-inflammation/anti-cancer Tea:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Boil 1-1.5 c. of water and simmer 5-7 min. after adding 1/4 tsp. Turmeric, and 1/4 tsp. Ginger or freshly grated Ginger root. (Sometimes I use both forms). Strain into your coffee cup and add a dollop or so of coconut milk.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Ahhhh. Good for you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Another good idea: Make sun tea w/ non-caffeinated herbals.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">One of my favorite juices:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Juice either by hand or in a juicer:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">2 grapefruits and 2 limes. (Peeled if thrown into the elec. juicer)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Meanwhile, bring to a boil and then simmer 1 c. water, 3T. raw sugar (can add honey or Stevia as last step to mixing juice and this mixture. I like the clear taste of the raw sugar.) Grate 2-3 Tbsp. fresh ginger and simmer with water and sugar. Cool this in freezer or fridge, strain and add to grapefruit/lime juice. Heidi from 101cookbooks.com shared this recipe.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I like to freeze little Brandy snifters in the freezer and enjoy this juice.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Don't feel bad if the fog and depression make you not want to do anything. The infection makes you more emotionally vulnerable. Be your own best nurse.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">My best....Peace. Pamela</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Karen Allen had several symptoms, including a 'headache' for two years. One 4-hour session with an Ultra Zapper, and she woke up the next day with no headache. 48 hrs. later her joint pain was gone. She still zaps if she's around sick people, etc. She has had no problems for 10 years, nor been sick.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">**Read this Doctor's Research and Experience below to understand the Western Blot, when it has to be given, how important the lab chosen is, when to draw blood, and why ONE BAND is indicative of Lyme.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b><u>Explaining Borreliosis (Lyme) Western Blot Tests</u></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The Western blot is a type of test that is conducted for detection of</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis (Lyme), but is also used to test for infections other than</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis. Borreliosis is a more accurate name than Lyme disease for this</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">infection. Several different Borrelia may cause a similar clinical pattern</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">in this disease. Old Lyme is a town in Connecticut, not a disease.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Borreliosis is the name that should be used.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />There is no universal agreement on what defines a positive Western blot.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Good laboratories use different criteria to interpret borreliosis blots.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />At the 1999 international borreliosis and tick-borne infection conference,</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sam Donta, M.D. lectured. Dr. Donta is a full professor of Infectious</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Disease at Boston University School of Medicine. He said that if a patient</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">has just one borreliosis-associated antibody on their Western blot, you may</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">assume they have borreliosis. Richard Horowitz, M.D. said the same thing in</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">his lecture, at that same conference.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Research I presented in 1998 involving over 400 borreliosis patients, showed </span></u></i><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">an 87% response rate to antibiotics. This was if they had one</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis-associated antibody on their blot. So if there is enough</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">suspicion that Lyme borreliosis is the cause of a patient's symptoms, so</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">much so that a Western blot is ordered, then if only one</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis-associated antibody is found, it is significant</span></u></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Medical literature is replete with statements about false positive test</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">results for Lyme borreliosis. Since 1988, I have diagnosed and treated well</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">over 600 borreliosis patients. Only 2 of those patients with a positive</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis test did not respond to antibiotics. This is a 99% success rate!</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">So in the trenches of day-to-day medical practice, false positive</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis tests are not an issue. In retrospect, those 2 patients that did</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">not respond to antibiotics may have also had babesiosis.</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></u><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></u><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In my practice, many borreliosis patients also have babesiosis, another</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">tick-borne infection that causes the same symptoms as Lyme borreliosis.</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Babesiosis is caused by a protozoa, which is a different germ type than a</span></u><br />
<u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">bacteria, virus, fungus or yeast.</span></u><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The placebo effect would not explain a 99% response rate. Those borreliosis</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">associated antibodies should not be there, in patients with symptoms. A</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">placebo is like a sugar pill, that has no effect. A placebo effect occurs</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">because patients believe in the pill they are taking, even though it is a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">sugar pill. The human mind causes the response. Placebo effects should more</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">likely be about Z0-30%, not a 99% response rate.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />False negative test results are the real problem in diagnosing borreliosis.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Research has shown that you have to do the right test (the Western blot),</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">done at the right laboratory (one that specializes in testing borreliosis),</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">and done the correct way (shipped express delivery early in the week).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The right test to screen for borreliosis is the Western blot. Research I</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">presented in Bologna, Italy in 1994 at the international borreliosis</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">conference showed this. Other screening tests, such as the IFA, EIA, ELISA,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">and PCR DNA probe were often negative when the Western Blot was positive!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Other doctors like myself who diagnose and treat a lot of borreliosis</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">patients, go straight to the Western blot as their screening test.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Medical articles abound stating that it is best to do a screening test, such</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">as an ELISA, and if it is positive, then confirm it with a Western blot. But</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">the ELISA is often negative when the Western blot is positive so, the right</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">test is the Western blot. It lets you see exactly which antibodies are</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">present.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The "right laboratory" means one that specializes in borreliosis testing. In</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">the past, I have done head to head comparisons with 3 different regular</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">labs. Western blots were drawn and sent on the same day to 2 different labs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The labs that specialize in borreliosis testing typically found</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borrelia-associated antibodies, that the regular laboratories missed. If</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">these specialty labs find a borrelia antibody, I trust it to be significant,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">because patients respond to antibiotics. You get what you pay for, so use a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">lab that specializes in borreliosis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The right way to process the Western blot specimen means for the blood to be drawn and express-mailed early in the week. Research shows the borrelia</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antibodies have the potential to clump together, resulting in false negative</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">test results. So far, unclumping has not been practical for laboratories to</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">do. The fresher the specimen, the more accurate the test results. Patients</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">at our office are scheduled Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday if testing is to</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">be done. This way, express shipping will assure that the specimen does not</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">spend the weekend sitting at the post office. This is the right way to test</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">and ship borreliosis specimens.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Western blots look for antibodies. These antibodies are made by your immune system. In this case, the antibodies are made to fight against different parts of the Lyme bacteria, which is called Borrelia burgdorferi, and other Borrelia species. In other words, your immune system does not make one big antibody against the whole bacteria.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />So, when you see a number on a borreliosis Western blot, it corresponds to a</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">specific part of the bacteria. Compare it to the old story of different</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">blind people touching an elephant. Based on the part of the elephant each</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">one touched, each person had their own perception. Likewise, the antibodies</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">attach to different and specific parts of Borrelia burgdorferi.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Numbers on Western blots correspond to weights. Kilodaltons (kDa) are the</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">units used for these microscopic weights. Think of it like pounds or ounces.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">An 18 kDa antibody weighs 18 kilodaltons.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />To do a Western blot, thin gel strips are impregnated with the various parts</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">of Borrelia burgdorferi. Each of the numbers, 18 through 93, on the test</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">result form, is a part of the bacteria.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Blood is made up of red blood cells and serum; Spinning blood in a</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">centrifuge separates serum from red blood cells and other things, like white</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">blood cells and platelets.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Serum contains antibodies made by the immune system. Electricity is used to</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">push the serum through the thin gel strips for the Western blot. If there</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">are any antibodies against parts of Borrelia burgdorferi present in your</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">serum, and these parts are impregnated on the strip, the antibody will</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">complex (bind) to that part.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />When antibodies form a complex, it is called an antigen-antibody complex.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Anything foreign in the body is an antigen, such as a ragweed pollen</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">particle, germ, cancer, and even a splinter. In the case of borreliosis, the</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">various parts of Borrelia burgdorferi are all antigens. Though each antigen</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">is different, they all come from the same bacteria.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />So all the numbers that are positive on the test report are due to</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antigen-antibody complexes. If enough of the complexes are formed,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">eventually it may be seen with the naked eye as a dark band. -</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Band intensity reflects how dark or wide it is. Controversy exists about</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">band intensity. Many would say the " +/-" equivocal bands are not</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">significant. The problem I have with that, is that there are "-" negative</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">bands. The lab has no trouble calling some bands negative. So they must be</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">seeing something when they put "+/-" at some bands. The only thing that</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">makes sense, is that there is a little bit of that antibody present in your</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">serum.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If the "+/-" equivocal is reported on the borrelia associated bands, it is</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">usually significant, in my clinical experience. This is a strong clue that I</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">am on the right track. Instead of ignoring these, they should be a red flag</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">to keep pursuing a laboratory diagnosis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Giving patients 4 weeks of antibiotics (usually tetracycline, 500 mg, 3</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">times a day), will convert a negative or equivocal Western blot to positive</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">in about 36% of cases. As mentioned, if these positive blots are found by</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">specialty labs, over 99% of those patients will respond to antibiotics.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sometimes multiple antibiotics have to be tried before the patient feels</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">better.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Antibiotics may actually help with the laboratory diagnosis. But patients</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">need to be off antibiotics about 10 to 14 days before the Western blot is</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">repeated.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This sounds like a contradiction. Antibiotics may help convert the test to</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">positive, but patients need to be off antibiotics when the specimen is</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">drawn. It is well documented in medical literature that the presence of</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antibiotics may cause false negative borreliosis testing. Therefore, your</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">system should be free of all antibiotics for an accurate blot result.</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />When the Lyme borrelia are alive, they are geniuses at avoiding the immune</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">system. They may do things like go inside your white blood cells, and come</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">out enclosed by the cell membrane of your own white blood cells! This may</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">partly explain why antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi are often not</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">found when patients are tested.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">What may happen when patients are given 4 weeks of tetracycline (or other</span></i></u><br />
<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antibiotics) is that some of the bacteria die. When Borrelia burgdorferi</span></i></u><br />
<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">dies, it is less efficient at avoiding the immune system. That's when</span></i></u><br />
<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antibodies may be formed against Borrelia burgdorferi, converting the</span></i></u><br />
<u><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">negative or equivocal Western blot to positive, in about 36% of cases.</span></i></u><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />If a borreliosis Western blot is going to be positive, it is usually the</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">first one that is positive. The second blot is the next most likely to be</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">positive, and so on, until the fifth blot. After that, the curve levels off</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">for conversion to positive. This is based on research I presented in</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Bologna, Italy in 1994. Some patients had b6rreha-associated antibodies</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">finally show on their tenth Western blot!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Two Western blots from a reliable lab usually gives the answer. If a third</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">test is needed, a Lyme Urine Antigen Test (LUAT) is done instead of a third</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Western blot. Positive LUATs correspond very highly to patients getting</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">better with antibiotics. False positive LUATs have not been a problem in my</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">practice.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The LUAT finds the actual antigen (Borrelia burgdorferi itself), so arguably</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">it should be the test of choice, but the Western blot is rn6re widely</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">accepted, even though it looks for the antibodies against Borrelia</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">burgdorferi. The presence of antibodies are indirect evidence of an</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">infection, not direct evidence like shown in the LUAT.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />On the Western blot test result form, please note what is "considered</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">positive" and "considered equivocal." Equivocal is another way of saying</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">suspicious or almost positive.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Below this are the ASTPHLD/CDC recommendations. The CDC stands for the </span></u></b><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Center for Disease Control.

I am not in </span></u></b><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">the business of disease surveillance. My job is to try to help sick people.</span></u></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The CDC recommendations do not include the 31 and 34 Kda bands of the blot </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">test. These two bands correspond to outer surface proteins A and B</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">respectively (ospA and ospB). In the world of borreliosis, these are two of</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">the classic hallmark Lyme antibodies. But the CDC does not even have them in </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">their recommendations. You may see why I and other borreliosis clinicians do </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">not agree with using the CDC criteria in everyday medical practice.</span></u></i></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Other bacteria besides Borrelia burgdorferi may produce the 45, 58, 66, and</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">73 kDa bands. These bands may be produced by Borrelia burgdorferi, but are not nearly as specifically associated with Lyme borreliosis as the starred</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">bands. These starred bands are classic hallmark borrelia-associated</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antigen-antibody complexes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">An example of the CDC's criteria of a blot test, is if a patient has the</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">band pattern of 41, 45, 58, 66, and 93, the CDC would call it positive. But</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">if a patient has a 23-25, 31, 34, and 39 band pattern, they would call it</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">negative. This is despite the fact that this second pattern of</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">antigen-antibody complex bands is much more specifically associated with</span></u></i><br />
<i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Borrelia burgdorferi than the first pattern.</span></u></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">As you can see, borreliosis is very controversial. It would be alarming if I</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">was the only clinician who thought that the CDC recommendations should not </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">be used for day-to day medical practice. Many borrelia clinicians do not use </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">the CDC criteria. This is obvious by the fact that the IgX laboratory uses</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">different criteria for positive.</span></u></i></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Again, in my opinion and others', even one borrelia-associated antibody is</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">significant, if symptoms exist. The classic triad of symptoms for</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis is fatigue (tiredness, exhaustion), musculoskeletal pain</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(joints, muscles, back, neck, headache), and cognitive problems (memory</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">loss, trouble concentrating, difficulty remembering what you read,</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">depression, disorientation, getting lost). But there are about 100 symptoms</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">on the borreliosis questionnaire I use. Borreliosis may mimic or imitate</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">virtually any disease.</span></u></i></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Patients often tell me that other physicians they have seen use the CDC</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">recommendations. This is unfortunate, in my opinion, since these physicians</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">are not in the business of disease surveillance, like the CDC is. But I am</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">biased. After seeing patients with borreliosis since 1988, attending many</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">conferences, talking with experts, and doing research on borreliosis</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">testing, there is absolutely no question in my mind that physicians need to</span></u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">not blindly accept any recommendations. One of my hopes is that doctors will </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">someday realize that this controversy is a signal for them to search for the </span></u></i></b><b><i><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">truth.</span></u></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> Why is there such conflict in this very "political" disease if there</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">is not substance for disagreement?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Both IgG and IgM Western blots should be done for borreliosis. With most</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">infections, your immune system first forms IgM antibodies, then in about 2</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">to 4 weeks, you see IgG antibodies. In some infections, IgG antibodies may</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">be detectable for years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Because Borrelia burgdorferi is a chronic persistent infection that may last</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">for decades, you would think patients with chronic symptoms would have</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">positive IgG Western blots. But actually, more IgM blots are positive in</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">chronic borreliosis than IgG.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Every time Borrelia burgdorferi reproduces itself, it may stimulate the</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">immune system to form new IgM antibodies. Some patients have both IgG and IgM blots positive. But if either the IgG or IgM blot is positive, overall</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">it is a positive result. Response to antibiotics is the same if either is</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">positive, or both.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Some antibodies against the borrelia are given more significance if they are</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">IgG versus IgM, or vice versa. Since this is a chronic persistent infection,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">this does not make a lot of sense to me. A newly formed Borrelia burgdorferi</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">should have the same antigen parts as the previous bacteria that produced</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">it. But anyway, from my clinical experience, these borrelia associated bands</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">usually predict a clinical change in symptoms with antibiotics, regardless</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">of whether they are IgG or IgM.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />In regard to the outer surface proteins, think of it like the skin of a</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">human. On the outer surface of the Lyme bacteria are various proteins. As</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">they have been discovered, they have been assigned letters, such as outer</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">surface proteins A, B, and C.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />The following is a brief explanation of the test results. Again, each band</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">is an antigen complexed (bound together) with an antibody made by the immune system, specifically for that antigen (part) of Borrelia burgdorferi.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />18: An outer surface protein.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />22: Possibly a variant of outer surface protein C.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />23-25: Outer surface protein C (osp C).</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />28: An outer surface protein.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />30: Possibly a variant of outer surface protein A.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />31: Outer surface protein A (osp A).</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />34: Outer surface protein B (osp B).</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />37: Unknown, but it is in the medical literature that it is a</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borrelia-associated antibody. Other labs consider it significant.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />39: Unknown what this antigen is, but based on research at the National</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Institute of Health (NIH), other Borrelia (such as Borrelia recurrentis that</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">causes relapsing fever), do not even have the genetics to code for the 39</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">kDa antigen, much less produce it. It is the most specific antibody for</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis of all.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />41: Flagella or tail. This is how Borrelia burgdorferi moves around, by</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">moving the flagella. Many bacteria have flagella. This is the most common</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis antibody.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />45: Heat shock protein. This helps the bacteria survive fever. The only</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">bacteria in the world that does not have heat shock proteins is Treponema</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">pallidum, the cause of syphilis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />58: Heat shock protein.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />66: Heat shock protein. This is the second most common borrelia antibody.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />73: Heat shock protein.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />83: This is the DNA or genetic material of Borrelia burgdorferi. It is the</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">same thing as the 93, based upon the medical literature. But laboratories</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">vary in assigning significance to the 83 versus the 93.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />93: The DNA or genetic material of Borrelia burgdorferi.</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />In my clinical experience, if a patient has symptoms suspicious for</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">borreliosis, and has one or more of the following bands, there is a very</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">high probability the patient has borreliosis. These bands are 18, 22, 23-25,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">28, 30, 31, 34, 37, 39, 41, 83, and 93. This is true regardless of whether</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">it is IgG or I~. But again, there is no universal agreement on the</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">significance of these bands.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Betina Wilska, M.D. from Germany is one of the world's experts on outer</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">surface protein A (31 kDa). At the international borreliosis conference in</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Vancouver, British Columbia, I asked her personally about the 30 kDa band.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">She told me it was the same as the 31 kDa band (osp A). When you have the</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">opportunity to talk to borreliosis experts, this helps in assigning</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">significance to findings, on an imperfect test.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />As a medical doctor, I am stating all of this with no axe to grind, no</span>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">professorship to protect, and no preset opinions. Patients, personal</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">research, and conferences have helped me interpret the borreliosis medical</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">literature in regard to testing. Nobody would like to have available a</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">bullet-proof, 100% reliable Lyme borreliosis test more than I would. But we</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">must use what is currently available. I always welcome second opinions.</span><br />

Then hit them w/ your choice of weapon, or protocol. THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO KILL OFF PARASITES, ALSO, as they reproduce in the full moon. People who have parasites in the brain and seizure, will have increased activity during a full moon cycle. Think 2 days before, the day of the full moon and 2 days after.</span><br />

Shaking the dust off the feet as a testimony against those foreigners, etc. that don't accept 'the Gospel' so they'll fry like bacon when the 'destroying angel' flies in the last days doesn't sound too unconditional. Add not paying tithing, a drop of black blood, etc.<br />
As one Bishop put it as I left...after marrying the missionary in the temple and having 7 kidlets: "But Pam, you're a good person". Meaning I'm not if I'm not a member of your church? Part of this is 'group think', as I've experienced the 'outsider' feeling elsewhere.<br />
Tammo, your statement on priority of love is accurate in my life. I had 9 siblings, who decided w/ my Mother and her husband when my youngest bro and sister's sexual abuse was disclosed with some of my children, to pretend I didn't exist. Me leaving the Mormon religion made it easy for them. Anything my children suffered could be blamed on my 'bad example.' Sad. So much for sibling bonds. Naively, I thought we all loved each other, and were loving, loyal and honest. People like Thomas Paine appealed to me: "The world is my country, and to do good is my religion."</div>

I think that 'intent to defraud' includes claims of 'fact'. Kind of like our current presidency, and previous. US presidency. In the Mormon religion, claims include the First Vision, the Golden Plates, the interpreting stones, etc., including written 'witnesses'. This is fraud. Not belief. Humans are just gullible. And, no matter how many times we hear in a Testimony Meeting..."I know"....it is based on beliefs, lured in by fraud, until the investment is too painful to defrock. Reminds me of 9-11. Pass on the truth. Now, pass the salt. Business as usual.</div>

Investing time, tithing, etc. for years in a cult culture after swallowing fraud, I see how 'emotional intelligence' can be blunted or jeopardized. Asserting oneself after doing ones own thinking or forbidden research in historic newspapers and books will give one the boot-w/ Disfellowshipment or Excommunication. It was with pride in self-scrutiny that I researched and wrote a college paper on 'The Unique Expression of Racism in Utah'. In Graduate School, I merely wrote about Racism Within Religion. John Lennon said basically those that speak the truth may not have many friends, but those that are left, are the right ones.<br />
Out of curiosity, I recently went to watch a man who runs 'the Gemstone Ministries' speak, and realized I was listening to a man like Joseph Smith. He just wasn't as talented. Why would Christ or God need magic, or claims of it, like the Golden Plates, the 'First Vision', the Urim & Thummim (sp), that disappear? As for 'witnesses', the Pastor was in on this fraud w/ the Gemstones guy, and people who had an appetite for magical 'wonders', spoke about the Gemstones they found (where the roving man in socks had just been) and the 'diamond countenance' on people. Too bad Joseph Smith couldn't have used this visual aid, as fine glitter hidden in hats like Epimenandes can suddenly douse a willing participant. The Pastor even had a box w/ his dead wife's ring, waiting for God to come and take it to his wife, since after all, He could send gemstones here. I think we just have to have humor.<br />

For me, it was 9 siblings, their partners, my mother and her husband. The stain of disappointment in humanity, when your own tribe betrays you for their convenience is one that won't bleach out. In ancient societies, the 'shunned' were not expected to live. Grief and stress does cut the longevity. Scapegoating was a ritual. </div>
<div style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Actually, I saw where the sibling bond was stronger than parent/child. Instead of dealing w/ who sexually abused them, my kids just focused the anger on me. That has caused its own dilemmas, as in setting limits, patterns of unequal expectations, knowing Mom is there unconditionally when you really need her, but not being there for her, etc. Still wanting to act out the patterns of childhood, where their Mormon father ate into the one person's credibility they had left to trust, for his own selfish reasons--casting the only one loyal to them and the truth as the 'bad guy', has left them alone. Not one has done any personal work. I get cut out of every grandchild and family outing. Stonewalling. Several who used alcohol and drugs to cope, blamed Mom along the way. After a while, damage from a culture of blaming and lying is irreparable. Too bad my youngest son went into regular law instead of specializing in mediation and problem solving. After reaching out ad nauseum, my role is now to take care of myself and find meaning. A secret in life is service, but the heart can carry wounds that may never heal, and it makes the journey difficult. Time with loved ones can never be made up. Ages of grandchildren, etc. Raised without the wisdom and guidance of Gramma, extends the damage. Those 'kids' who refuse to do their own work will see anyone willing to honestly deal with it, as a threat. If your mate punishes you, expect your kids may do the same. You can divorce the mate, but the modeling residue can be a lifelong challenge. What was he hiding, projecting his own self-hatred? Exhibitionism while serving twice in the Mormon Bishopric. It's best to feel compassion as we are all wounded, but full discovery of further deviance has not yet surfaced, though it's well documented. Who knows if entire lives will be wasted and impacted forever, and death will come before the truth. Perhaps the lesson lies between the human impulse of a mother whose children were violated, man's search for meaning, forgiveness and moving on.</div>

I watched a woman named Leuren Moret on Youtube line out Topol's demo by Russia, which makes every Navy weapon obsolete. The next day there's a media piece about LAWS-Laser ...Weapon System whose limitation is being 10 miles away. Following day a witness says the tail of the aircraft was blown off, and dived into the ocean. Vietnam was honest in the media till the US/British spin took over. Sounds like a couple of gym rats flexing their ego and muscles, w/ human lives. I heard the terms DEMO, payback, killing about 9 trained techs for some company, and that a 22? yr. old gal working for Bitcoin was found murdered on the street in one of the Asian countries where (3) had made Bitcoin illegal. What a time we live in.</div>

The AMA has long tried to divert valid arguments and evidence by using terms as 'anecdotal'. Qualitative data is just as valid as quantitative. The denial, outright dishonesty and corruption in the medical field and our 'protective' govt. agencies is a stench. The suicide rate among physicians is staggering. They start out with good intentions, and find themselves in a system that harms people, and overlooks common sense like nutrition and parasitology, etc.</div>

I am personally glad there are independent thinkers like this Pediatrician. The US now has 1 in 6 children w/ Autism or some other kind of neurological/immune-based disease. Autism rose 30% in 2 years in the US. Our obsession as germ phobes has harmed our kids. There is no long-term study showing effects of all the many vaccines kids are now getting. Parents also need to be more aware of choices, as in vaccines made without preservatives, delayed schedules, etc. With live virus's, foreign proteins being injected into bodies and mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum, we are setting up our kids for disease, as we herd them in to 'protect' them from something they might get. 'Messing with Nature' is a valid concern, especially shown with 'superbugs' from antibiotic-resistant germs, bacteria-imbalanced digestive systems and the vaccinated getting and infecting others w/ a shedding virus. One day maybe we'll get the honest scoop on increased Shingles cases, Whooping Cough, etc. and realize the most dangerous place to be is in a clinic or hospital, if we have to breathe or open our eyes.<br />
Where is the child's voice for instance, if they're already sick, but being herded in for shots on Mom's schedule, or the new infant getting a Hepatitis vaccine, where the toxic adjuvants crossing the blood brain barrier have just altered an entire life-and the whole family's? These problems have to be addressed. Every parent should be informed, and demand safe vaccines, delivered in a protective, timely manner.</div>

Some of us are well-read researchers. It is not important to be 'right', Gaius. But it is a good idea to be respectful and look at all sides, including many 'qualitative' data, not 'suggesting' we have work to do in our country to achieve good health, but 'illustrating' it. Learning is exciting, especially if you can leave this world better than you found it.<br />
Today's children w/ diabetes, neurological disorders, etc. will be the first generation that have less lifespan than their parents. This is not a gift. Ask an Amish person why they don't have to worry about their children being damaged by vaccines and Autism, and the other neurological disorders. Sometimes the truth is living and breathing right in front of us.</div>

The 'lifespan' is going the opposite direction. The quality of life, also. Tho the idea of vaccination is not 'perfect', it is currently imbalanced, ridden w/ 'preservatives' that cross the blood brain barrier, and the FDA who we pay to protect us, is in bed w/ your beloved Pharma. Wait till one of your own kids or grandchildren is harmed by the number of vaccines, or by being an involuntary guinea pig. Wait, we do a lot of that testing in other countries... or prisons, or the military. Documented.</div>

And nutrition. That is a sad subject. Are you on your knees thanking Monsanto, also? When the food we work to pay for, spend time buying and preparing and eating is only a motion and charade because of the lack of nutrition, it is also time for reassessment. Who cares if the strawberry looks perfect, and is tasteless and deficit of any meaningful nutrients? Some of us have been mothers, and care not only for our own, but others.</div>

Americans seem to be the most vulnerable, dense people, believing their 'doctors', who have been trained and paid handsomely to 'market' a plethora of drugs and vaccines. Look around the world, and see who else is sucked into believing babies need a Hep vaccine on their first day of life and children need 17 vaccines in a non-studied time period till 1 in 6 have some form of neurological harm. Notice this 'news' article, and how the title 'defines' this discussion for the sheep. 'Conspiracy', theories, as if every adult who doesn't succumb to blood pressure checks and meds, statins to ruin their health and Coumadin to not only thin their blood, but give them blood clots, gangrene and cognitive decline, as documented in 'side effects' is a problem. Of course you that think for yourselves are a problem. You stand in the way of profit up until the time the undertaker makes his.</div>

B12 deficits often come from meds, like Prilosec, etc. Prilosec was prescribed like mad after a plethora of problems and side effects from other drugs. One side effect of anti-depressants is no appetite=a set up for malnutrition and disease. There are 8 reasons for depression, at least.</div>

Check out FullyRawKristina on YouTube for what to eat. Pretty enlightening. And after seeing how chickens are bred and raised to 'harvest' within 30-40 days, complete w/ ammonia burns on their legs b/c they can't support their weight after the food and crowding and lay in waste, absorbing it..., I'm inching towards dropping the 'white meat'.<br />
And why did I have to watch the documentary on child trafficking that's used to harvest our cocoa pods on the Gold coast? Shame on Hersheys.<br />
Check out MMS, Dr. Simoncini, etc. when you have signs of cancer. Cancer is fungal based, but is also about unresolved inflammation.</div>

Earthworm: I'm sorry, but after reading your comments, finding all the supposed exceptions, and minimizing, rationalizing, etc., me thinks you belong in a field, as you are a 'plant'. Monsanto is not going to support or publish anyone not in line w/ the 'party line', unless they have some angle in mind. Even if it's timely eradication. For instance, the GMO-Roundup Bt? corn study, showing huge tumors on rats was criticized for their 10-rat study, and rats that supposedly are prone to cancer, was already done by the 'big rats', with the same small number and kind of rats, with -0- negative results. I've always hated cheaters. Personal flaw.<br />

Balance is not a bad thing, nor is indulging to enjoy life, but cig smokers don't realize the amount of deaths occurring for those who absorb second hand smoke (50K a yr. in the US plus kid's asthma, ear infections, etc.), or the chemical transfer to their kids and loved ones from their nicotine, et al fingers, just like a patch. Maybe a nasty secret is that the poisons from cigs are found in a female's cervical tissues, and cervical cancer has gone epidemic. No toxic untested vaccine will fix this one.</div>

As for coffee, I hear the new thing is to get organic roasted beans and grind and use them within 7 days of their roasting, so they are not dead, stale and gross beans, with minimal antioxidant value left. Bicycle Coffee (Calif?) is one of those companies who roast and deliver it fresh. But coffee, like other roasted foods contains acrylamide which is a carcinogen. Apparently complete roasting helps remove it in coffee, but burned beans are not popular. Brewing brings the amount down. The FDA has a list of foods high in acrylamide, like Cheerios, Hershey's Cocoa, Postum, chicory roasted drinks, veggie chips in some brands, etc. Lays Potato chips was sued by Calif. for their acrylamide levels b/c of the cancer it causes.<br />
Acrylamide is found in cig smoke.</div>

It seems many people are less than educated in the area of homosexuality. One cannot 'black and white' this subject. Some are born this way, and some suffer sexual abuse or some kind of sexual violation and have their sexual arousal patterns and gender identification patterns affected by this. To lump everyone in one pot would be a mistake, as it would be to refer to all homosexuality as a 'handicap'. What is concerning to me, are the heterosexual and homosexual relationships that begin and seem to be based on sex instead of trust, compatibility and commitment, as if addictions or animalistic behavior create healthy relationships.</div>

Like radiation poisoning or organ failure from chemo, you have to hold the 'treatment' accountable, also. As you do the control and corruption of medical journal articles, research, medical personnel who won't speak up or get educated further from the AMA/pharmaceutical box, etc.<br />

It is irresponsible and 'not very bright?' to lump citizens the police come in contact with as 'scumbags' as much as it would to express a prejudice that all police are always to be blamed. Is it true that this woman was running away and got shot in the back 6 times? When drone assassinations are sanctioned from our Executive branch, which direction will law enforcement be going? Respecting human life?</div>

What a tragic ending to a too-familiar story of unnecessary police violence and murder and the end-product of 'treating' someone's depression and turmoil with anti-psychotics and anti-depressants. This young woman was obviously expressing the anger many have about Obama's betrayal of our nation, but in a fog of drugs that her 'doctors' betrayed her with. Since she is black, and left a one year old, this will affect Obama's conscience. (The 16 yr. old he ordered killed by a drone, obviously didn't.)</div>

Vets are used in unnecessary wars, and are then throw-aways. We all know drugs are not 'treatment' and docs that prescribe don't monitor. It's a broken system.<br />
My favorite is Seroquel being given to Vets for a sleeping pill. Ghastly and criminal.<br />
As for your cancer, that is another area in which not to trust the current medical field. As a cancer survivor, I may be able to help you.

If we can't 'stimulate the economy' further Agenda 21 and invest in petro security by bringing death to other countries, we have to make a business of making money on our own sons and daughters. When there is drug and alcohol treatment offered along with sexual abuse counseling-individual and group, for every economic group, and corrupt judicial and law enforcement removed, the jails will empty. What is the point of years of isolation, rape and abuse of people who need help? The stocks in days of old were more successful to bring change, as were the Quakers giving food, clothing and support.<br />

What a great idea for your Library to implement! Gathering around a WIFI spot where the public can also check out books, free movies and audio tapes for entertainment and learning everything from a new language to gardening tips, etc. is a fabulous evolution. Coffee shops are great for socializing, but there's something about a well-read (balanced) man (or woman). Here in Oregon where it rains a lot in fall and winter, we have indoor computer stations and library WIFI. There's no limit if you bring your own laptop, etc. With economics, I can see patrons walking, biking or taking the bus to check their emails and do research. Comcast recently went from the $50 for a 6 month promotional (w/ taxes) for my phone and internet, to $72 to $111. Now they offered 3 MGB speed for the $50 w/ tax price again. Change is in the wind. The local Centurylink is $15 a mth for basic home phone service, totaling $23-28? a mth w/ taxes. Why not spend that on gas or bus fare or exercise to a library or coffee shop, see humans and answer your phone calls and emails? Besides, this eats too much of my time some days. btw...I'd visit Starbucks if it went organic or offered it, time limit or not. Looking for the Value Package for my time, $ and effort.</div>

First of all, as much as I love the rich smells of various coffees in Starbucks, I don't need that splash of insecticide or fungicide (or growth hormones in the dairy) or know that I'm supporting cancer and birth defects for the indigenous people who are aerially sprayed with the stuff, and have to ingest it through their air and water supply, food, etc. For my comfort? As for WIFI, it's fun to relax and check the emails and read the news amid the people-watching and coffee smells for me, even if I am drinking juice or tea. A reasonable limit is courteous. Anyone can get carried away visiting, etc., and forget how long they've kept a space. I got reminded once in my favorite tea shop, but I guess it's just not like the library in getting lost in a book, etc.. Rotating patrons are their bread and butter.</div>

Oh, now. Discussion is refreshing, but soon it will be defined as economic terrorism, 'comrade'.<br />
As far as manufacturing migrating to other countries, American unions went from protecting the worker, to corruption and wage entitlement till we priced ourselves out of the market. I wonder what will bring the pendulum back. Is it true that China bought one of America's 3 Deep Sea Ports? The one in California? Appliances are a diversion from some other important information.</div>

American quality is sold out. We shipped our factories to cheap labor, and buy from China where prisoners are forced into slave labor, to produce them. The greed and graft has polluted most everything. Just think, our Defense parts are 'Made in China'. Since we don't need to be watching the hen house, let's keep using drugs like alcohol, pot and cocaine and the mind-numbing television, so our children can 'rock it' in the future with a polluted world, in every sense, or wake up.</div>

None of the men named are 'my boys'. My radar usually recognizes liars and criminals. They are a national shame. My alarm went off with even the possibility of Bush's regime. The voices of such-propaganda and lies- grate on my aura. Torture and murder are not acceptable- by the alphabet agencies, shock and awe, drones, etc.<br />
I am one of the many Americans wondering who will return this country to the 'rule of law', and make me proud to be part of it. Since I am a mother, Snowden and Manning could easily be one of my own sons. The treatment of Manning is horrific. Snowden is wise to avoid his own similar fate. Obama is intent on hunting him down and punishing him, with terms like espionage, etc. Let's turn that energy instead, to Obama and associates, then Bush, et al.Why don't we investigate how many nuclear secrets Clinton shared or sold to China, instead, (see the address below) or why the system even allows Obama and his group freedom regardless of the flavor of scandals? Why don't we privately investigate how many witnesses were killed to hide the true 9/11 story, or how large the simultaneous insider-aided insurance fraud was, when these buildings went down with their planned nano-thermate, including Bldg 7? The corruption is so ingrained in every government agency, it is a grief.Interesting article:<a href="http://www.criminalgovernment.com/docs/rel/jminhofe031599.html" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-transition-delay: initial; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #0069d6; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;">http://www.criminalgovernment....</a></div>

Seriously, for the accumulated lies and acts of his Presidency, he is no better than Bush, whom I sincerely hope will find himself in prison with his cohorts, also. Both are responsible for taking innocent people's lives. Or do you condone the drone killings, and the increasing amount of 'suicided' witnesses and hounded whistleblowers? Personally, I cannot stand to even listen to the voices of Bush or Obama. I read one of O's first assertions, that 'we should accept the official version of 9/11' and I was disgusted. I wrote O that based on just that lie, I could not trust him as the leader of this country. Human to human, I asked him to make his life count. Any person, President, Congressperson, etc. is 'responsible' (blame is not an accurate word) when they participate in anything else but representing the truth, and protecting human beings. The latest absolutely retarded attempt at avoiding accountability to the American people is for the Executive branch to 'blame' the Judicial branch for their NSA invasion of privacy.

By the people.I voted my conscience. Ron Paul. The first term of Bush, when the radio announced his possible win, it was November 8th, the day of my youngest child's birthday. I was so upset, I temporarily forgot it was her birthday, poor gal. I knew if he got in, we'd go to war. It's past time the mothers of this country spoke up.These are my true feelings and thoughts. It is not a rant, or some arbitrary 'speech' that can be defined into non-existence. Let's stop neutralizing the truth, sugar-coating it, minimizing it, imposing our ideas of being politically correct, or trying to shame grown adults we don't agree with, as if we have the corner on propriety in petty control tactics, like I've experienced below. My generosity ends where my boundaries begin. We should have all had enough by now.</div>

Many people can't fathom what this breach of privacy-- for years...can really accomplish.<br />
They aren't familiar with it yet. Stored phone calls and emails, even false claims of such "evidence". And we thought the media... was controlled.</div>

Besides the Congress being blackmailed, news reporters disappearing before they can print articles and fear shutting down normal investigative reporting and human interactions with a government surveillance state, our business community is also part of this violation. I remember working at Intel for instance, and knowing anyone found with a cell phone on premises would be fired immediately. Taking photos of technological property: Forbidden. Think of pricing, planning, any commerce open to be sold out to the highest bidder, the discussion of such in any government's hands, especially a tyrannical one such is being demonstrated. It is no more a threat than any other organized crime syndicate.<br />
When I read that Britain has been spying on Americans and giving it to the US, and vice versa, to fit within certain laws of each country, the likely evolution has to be enlarged access, laws passed under the DHS and other bogus threats, till the largest threat is the government and other para-agencies. America is in the midst of an off-balance pendulum swing. Only when we see the horrific results, will it hit home, and even then, there will be apathy for many, hoping someone will 'fix it'.</div>

No matter what shocks and insults are in store for the future, we can bet that the Pres. will have 'just learned about it on the telly', just like us, refuse to discuss it and hope the ripples go away as other media opportunities arise, or simply pull a Holder, saying "Don't know. Can't say. Won't say." There is an agenda.</div>

The boundaries are the 'rule of law'. They are being sidestepped, with puppets put in the banking system, etc. and any whistleblowers punished. And we are chatting and being identified. It used to be the only list we had to worry about was Santa's. There have to be other men besides Snowden and Manning and Assange that are willing to make their lives count. Men that know a paycheck and security aren't worth the selling out of fellow humans.</div>

While I agree that I should not connect Obama with 'what a bummer', being an enraged citizen, watching his murders and lies and intent, following in the path of the Bush admin, everyone deserves a voice, lady. I'm not sure what is worse, punishing those that are speaking up to the level of corruption at the threat of death, speaking ones truth or not seeing the forest. My people did come from Russia, and when my father said, the planes are flying and the ships are sailing, leave if you don't like it here, I reminded him that our country was founded on freedom....including freedom of speech. That is the only way to change things, not silence or guilting someone for cursing, or saying something you don't like. We all have an equal voice.</div>

The time, skill set and resources available in earlier parenting sometimes is not equal to the more relaxed, older parent, later on, perhaps with a second family. The son is probably just reflecting on what he sees as the difference, and what he would have liked to experience, himself. Now that it's expressed, I hope they both build a stronger relationship, so time is not wasted. This is not a dress rehearsal. </div>

Many times the 'child' forgets in his analysis all the sacrifice and love the parent has given to them, in all of the 'imperfection'. Parents are learning themselves, how to parent. When a balanced view is expressed, gratitude and living in the present, points to their maturing 'adult' self. Until the 'splinter' is out, the wound will fester, so these two are on their way to solution.</div>

One of the largest problems in our country has been the emerging abuse of elders by court-appointed 'guardian' or conservatorship. The judges get a cut of the estate, and there is often collusion with these 'guardians', which have kept elders away from their familes, drugged in institutions, controlled- while they suck the estate dry. In my experience of the elder abuse agencies, they have long standing relationships w/ the elder care places and courts, not the families. It's a horror story. I've lived it.</div>

My favorite shopping place for appliances is Craig's LIst. For $50 I found a 1947 Gibson stove that was gorgeous. The fridge that never gave up was the GE w/ the old single hinge handle. The new frost-free kind freezer-burn the food, and the plastic inside breaks, as do the cheap plastic handles. I like to buy older Whirlpool washer/dryers, also, and if they need fixing, I watch YouTube, and do it myself. Not everything new is 'progress'.</div>

What a heartwarming interview. It's often hardest for others to forgive, but Rihanna has found a huge secret in what she was able to do, realize how her father's example played into her choices and feelings, and find peace in accepting where her life goes from here. When we love each other, we want the best, as in healing-- not revenge. It is a process. Her songs and clothing reflected that process. Those tender desires and memories can be marred by anger and violence, leaving a fragile and fractured trust, never to be the same, perhaps. It takes maturity and courage to get help, and move on. I loved how she realized despite her own father's worst, she could also acknowledge and appreciate his best instead of labeling him for the trash. When we do that to each other, we are the ones with a lesson to learn. Beautiful young woman.</div>

When I say coerced, bribed etc. it is the leaders that are. It naturally follows that they pass laws without any true representation of their populace. Instead, the corporations have gained control and the corruption brings on Fascism. In the US, parents are bullied about losing their children for not allowing them to be diagnosed and drugged for supposed ADD/ADHD, or other spins, or vaccinated. It has gotten ugly. When enough parents pull their kids out for private schools, lost funding will force the issue.</div>

Here in Portland, Oregon, for example, the Council and media all pushed for fluoridating the water supply lately, with the attitude of avoiding public consent. Enough fuzzy avoidance/change of focus manipulations of the media, (corporate owned), and the public thinks they will be safe and be able to vote on this issue. While the media focus is elsewhere, Americans have lost many rights, not even knowing what's gone down. Can you imagine drones, making hits on some 'Kill LIst', (instead of business as usual by the CIA) or citizens being able to be arrested and detained indefinitely, stripped of any rights? Laws floating out there... while Americans gather for turkey dinner. A 'President' who is the biggest supporter of GMO's, with business as usual, showboating lies and promises to gain support.</div>

Looks like 'Mother's Day' -or -- monthly days-- a designated time period for all good moms and dads (or humans insisting on alignment for the good of mankind) all over the world needs to be about demanding immediate change, educating and boycotting the grocery stores, All GMO corporations, schools, medical facilities, churches, etc. like the Tinkertoy Battalion. Dismantle. Rebuild. New 'leaders'. New media. Home gardens. Sprouting. Pet chickens in a rolling coop if possible, or trading w/ those who can. Direct bulk food buying from independent farmer coops. Free energy info released. Arresting Corporate Shills and Eu and US Government co-conspirators for mass murder. Mom's signature required for sending your sons to war. Restore US Constitutional individual rights and freedoms and remove the despots. Remove electoral and allow popular vote. Ensure no fraud at polls. Independent auditing groups balanced by a second group in all agencies. Politicians on volunteer time or stipends for living expenses. Public stocks for shameful behavior. Schooling to retrain or teach what wasn't learned. No more Corrections as a business. Stop the endemic sexual abuse of children and violence/objectification against women. Critically review all law 'enforcement' and judicial personnel and hire better fit individuals. Allow our men to be true protectors. Free schooling/education. No more drinking of inorganic coffee so indigenous people get sprayed with pesticides and fungicides and get cancer and birth defects for their children for our convenience or ignorance. No more cancer/growth-promoting hormones allowed in milk or meat. A healing, aware focus. Isn't it time?</div>

Kind of hard to be a 'woman' if you never make it to womanhood, as in losing your ovaries, getting ovarian cancer, etc. Why don't we ask the victim if she feels like a woman, now that she has no ovaries, or how she feels at all? If you haven't bought the Gardasil line, then certainly you've had your 'flu shot', since it's pimped on loudspeakers all over the cities, even at Target and RiteAid, or your Shingles vaccine, or the Pneumonia shot, or the Tetanus that you're not sure you even needed. Are you still lining up for the steroid injections, hoping yours won't have fungus in it, or destroy your cartilage, causing some DVT event? Did you even think to research for yourself whether you should counsel your kids about allowing their babies to get Hepatitis injections, or does the Coumadin you were suckered into taking already cause blood clots, gangrene and cognitive decline, while you picked up your statins and blood pressure meds, anti-depressants, muscle relaxants, Ativan and other Psych drugs, while chewing your Aspartame gum, which obviously crosses the blood brain barrier, making formaldehyde factories in the old gray matter, and blood cancers or breast cancer? And is it even disturbing that animal testing won't show the buildup of wood alcohol poisoning because they're not affected like humans, from that Aspartame, because the 'tests' were done by cheating corporations, with intent to harm, while making profits. Ay vey. Arguments.</div>

Disturbing Video About Who Makes your Pants, etc.<br />
1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in NYC which killed 146 workers, most of them young women, found fire and smoke on one exit, and a locked door on the other. Many jumped out of the windows. This case put Labor Laws in place in two months as Unions, Women's Groups and Community Groups demanded it, but other countries are not given similar laws to protect them.<br />
<br />
Dec. 14, 2010: another factory in Bangaladesh trapped workers on the 11th floor. Many jumped out the windows so their parents would have their bodies to bury. Management locks the exit gates during a fire often, to prevent stealing. Workers labor 12-15 hrs a day with one day off a month.<br />
<br />
In Triangle Factory they made 14 cents an hour. Inflation equals over $3 an hour today. Gap and Walmart wouldn't pay 35 cents an hour. The demonstrators were beaten, sprayed w/ dyed water canons for later arrest, and arrested on the scene.<br />

Shackles of Slavery. A Clearer Picture...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
How are Corporations like Big Pharma able to rape the American people? Watch from several years ago, a list of people who sold their souls and sold out all of us, for a high-paying job. Watch the 'rule' changing, the on-floor bribes and threats at 3 AM, the 1000 page 'bill' written by the Pharmaceuticals, passed after 3 hours of breaking down the present Congress, when they only had 15 min, and what happened after the duping and fraud that ensured Big Pharma would continue their exploding profit margin, on America's back.<br />
<br />
After hearing a local elderly resident who cares for a huge load of other elderly health-stricken people express her gratitude of being only on "one" medication (Fosamax), I did some concentrated research on this drug. Among its toxic effects are cancer, bone rotting, fractures, liver damage and eye damage. So, despite engaging willing movie stars to influence others to use this fraudulent concoction, and paying them well, who is actually paying the cost? Snapshot: slavery at its best. Bankrupt nation, healthcare, medical trust, individual health, and pimping lost, empty souls. We cannot also forget the amount of these chemicals showing up in our drinking water. A true scourge and pollution of this earth.<br />

Feel free to comment below.<br />
Tip: Type in a drug you take, and askapatient.com in your browser.<br />
Read the rating and experiences of those poor folks who trusted their medical personnel, and took the stuff. Become informed.<br />
<br />
The alternative is focused nutrition and detoxing. See information on one company that I recommend-- for their bio-available food supplements. Please pay attention to the X-ray taken that shows several days of Centrum Silver making its toxic undissolved way down the alimentary canal, to become "bedpan bullets."<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">8 hours ago, some alternative media sources shared the Radiation Alert Readings from San Francisco Beaches. If you haven't been listening, or 'fed' information from your regular news provider about the sea animals in the Pacific Ocean dying in hordes, perhaps its time to seek other sources. Last night I read where this radiation-which is only expected to get worse with more failing towers and tipping structures, will infect every ocean. The fallout and radiation-infected garbage is coming to the West coast, and inland in rain, etc.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Over 35 ? years ago, several GE scientists quit their jobs, as they knew the Nuclear Reactors were defective, not able to withstand a break in the cooling process, which could happen w/ earthquakes or other natural/unnatural disasters. The US has 28? of these reactors. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>

<b>National Domestic Violence Hotline:</b><br />
<b>1-800-799-7233</b><br />
<b> 1-800-799-(SAFE)</b><br />
Below is a video documentary of women who have been abused and commentary from those who work with them.<br />
The second video speaks to the damage done to children who see, hear or perceive domestic violence.<br />
<u><i><b>Why don't these women leave? It is said they are beaten down before they are beaten up.</b></i></u> Below is a chart showing 18 different kinds of Verbal Abuse. If they look familiar, seek help. In many areas there are Domestic Violence Programs with FREE individual and group counseling.<br />
<br />
Isolation, financial control and having children with an abuser all complicate leaving. As women hope and wait for change, remembering the charming or 'loving' earlier treatment or having financial constraints, those with children are being damaged by the role modeling of the men and women in their lives. Boys can become abusers and Girls can seek abusers as partners.<i><u> Children many times also treat their mother exactly like their father did, so even after divorce, the family dynamic is scarred and difficult.</u></i><br />
<br />
How prevalent is Family Violence? In Harris County, Texas, which is the Houston area, in which there is one Sheriff's Deputy for every 175,000 people, the Domestic Violence Unit has 250-300 new cases on their desks every WEEK. It is like a lottery, when you think of it, when it comes to the probability of getting help and protection. <a href="http://leb.fbi.gov/2013/december/investigating-domestic-violence-raising-prosecution-and-conviction-rates?utm_campaign=email-Immediate&utm_content=279938">The FBI printed an article </a>in which they operationalize six discretionary investigative techniques to increase prosecution and conviction rates of Domestic Violence. They are as follows:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Take pictures of the victim, children and any property damage.</b><br />
These pictures become the visible evidence for the judge.<br />
In 21 states, it is a Felony if children are present, yet in only 4% of cases are children even listed as being present. Texas is not a state with this law or statute. In others such as Utah or Oregon, if the child sees, hears or 'perceives' the violence (worded differently in each state), it is a felony because of the grave consequences to their lives, and our society. The brain makes changes during a trauma. The most impressionable brain is one of an infant, with it's soft spongy biology, made to pick up language, etc. quickly. In a study done, babies that listen to violence (helpless and afraid and confused as to why Mommy and Daddy/Partner are hurting each other or being hurt) are impacted more than if they themselves are harmed. One baby for instance, grew up to harm another child at age 4.<br />
<br />
In many family violence cases, the children are also harmed by verbal, physical, emotional, and financial abuse, and many are also victims of sexual violence. It makes sense when boundaries have been violated already. A domestic violence perpetrator may be an untreated victim of family violence in one of its forms: sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, etc. Thus they may be projecting this unresolved pain onto those around them, not feeling deserving of love, and acting in a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's kind of like the Snoopy cartoon of PigPen's character, unwashed and dusty, leaving piles of angry residue everywhere they go.<br />
<b>2. Interview and report children if they are present.</b> Never assume a child is asleep and doesn't hear it, or won't know of other incidents they will speak to. Also interview neighbors for any information they might have. Sometimes they witness or hear threats, etc. <b>Prosecution rates go up 66-70% with multiple witnesses. </b>Voice mails or texts or first person witnessed accounts from the victim are often available from family or friends.<br />
<b>3. Prosecution is more successful if a Protective Order is filed.</b><br />
<b>4. Making arrests gets the case in front of a judge.</b> In any case, both parties need help, as do the children. States become the Complainant, so they don't rely on the Victim who may recant out of fear of reprisal, or fear of financial consequences.<br />
<b>5. Listing Multiple Counts or Offenses</b>. ie: Vandalism for property damage to cars, furniture, personal items such as computers, phones, etc. Taking a phone is a 'count'. Habitually drunk in front of children is a count, and should be referred to Child Services.<br />
<b>6. Submitting Reports Quickly.</b> Reports that take over 10 days have a 24% reduction in conviction. Over 30 days is a 50% reduction.<br />
<br />
Each jurisdiction or area of law enforcement creates their own case priority. Half of all homicides are from domestic violence. In Harris County last year, there were 29 deaths from family violence, and 114 in the State of Texas. Only 21 of these 114 victims had taken steps to get away from their situation. We cannot blame these victims. Historically, and now as seen in the case loads, if family violence is not a priority, or if a policy of rotation of Officers means untrained individuals are responding to life and death matters, we can easily see why trust in law enforcement and justice for victims has been compromised.<br />
Personally, I believe a female officer should accompany the responding team, to view all the reported areas of attack, in privacy. This way, with pictures and the officer as a witness, the case will move ahead, instead of the ball being dropped. Each victim may not have another chance for protection.<br />
<br />
1 in 3 women have been or will be abused. Obviously, this affects all of us. 75% of the time the acts of aggression for Power and Control are <i><u>not</u></i> accompanied by drugs and alcohol. This points to cultural problems.<br />
50% of all criminal violence and homicides involve domestic violence.<br />
73% of women who are killed by domestic violence never called to report it.<br />
Children in a home are often killed first, so the female victim sees this, in a homicide/suicide.<br />
The best statistical predictor of impending death or lethality in a domestic violent relationship is if strangulation has been used.<br />

</tbody></table>
In Domestic Violence relationships, they often start out warm and charming, and then there is verbal, emotional, sexual or physical abuse which is blamed on the victim, followed by a honeymoon period of gifts and/or promises, as if it will not happen again, while the victim is in a state of shock.<br />
The abuser will isolate the victim with use of her phone, jealousy, finances, threats, injuries and her children to control his 'love supply'.<br />
<br />
The abuser often has a wounded childhood past, and selfishly holds onto the victim as his love source, in an unhealthy demanding way, based on fear that she will leave. Leaving is the time when there is no longer ability to control and have power over the victim, so this is the most dangerous time. The idea that women are 'property' helps to promote this behavior in our culture, as does male privilege, objectifying women, and inequality and devaluing of women, even in pay scales. All these practices speak to the problem of violence against women.<br />
<br />
**Women need options for leaving, and a 'safety' plan before they leave, and one for after they leave.<br />
15% of victims are males.<br />
<i><u>After acts of aggression and violence, there is a Honeymoon period, followed by increased tension, and then more violence, many times, escalating violence in a faster sequence.</u></i><br />
<br />
Children who are physically and sexually abused in a home of domestic violence are damaged, but statistics show those children who watch violence, not being able to 'fix it', are actually damaged more. Suicides, drug and alcohol use and abuse often involve having been in a home of domestic violence. Instead of being able to absorb layers of development and learning, the child has learned to scan the room and watch hands, faces and voices, because their brain is wired for erupting violence. Their normal and needed human development is often interrupted and abbreviated.<br />

One of my favorite people: Russell Brand. Notice that comments were disabled, but the number of people that watched this interview is over 4 million. As of November 15th, this video has been watched over 9 million times. Are people hungry for truth?<br />

Dr. Carson works at John Hopkins, and was asked to address a recent Prayer Meeting held in early 2013. America is not devoid of voices of hope. I listened to his entire speech, felt grateful for his instruction and shared faith and answers, and decided to share this. Regardless of our varied spiritual paths and beliefs, I doubt anyone can deny the common sense and power of this man's words. He asks God to help him say what he is supposed to say. Tell us what you think in the comment section below...<br />

This morning I viewed the following video on YouTube. It says a lot in a brief time. I urge you to become aware of these survival issues for you and your fellow world citizens. The second video shows Serbia saying NO to GMO, despite the strong arm tactics of world organizations...<br />
