FROM "PENICILLIN TO "MILD SILVER PROTEIN" AN ANSWER TO LYME DISEASE "WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS" http://www.xpressnet.com/bhealthy/burgd.html By: Dr. William Burgdorfer, Ph.D. Rocky Mountain Laboratories, Division of N.l.H. In 1949, Dr. Sven Hellerstrom from the Dermatalogical Clinicof Karolinska lnstitute in Stockholm, Sweden presented a paper"Erythema chronicum migrans Afzelius with meningitis" at the 43rdAnnual Meeting of the Southern Medical Association in Cincinnati,Ohio. In presenting his case, he provided convincing evidence thatboth erythema and subsequent meningocerebrospinal symptoms maydevelop following a tick bite. He also reported on the successfultreatment of his patient with penicillin, a drug shown previouslyby his colleague Dr. Hollstrom to be effective in the treatment ofErythema chronicum migrans (ECM). In the United States, ECM was first reported in 1970 on aphysician bitten by a tick while grouse hunting in northeasternWisconsin. The attending physician, Dr. Rudolf Scrimenti,recognized the similarity of the patient's skin reaction to thelesions of European ECM and promptly and successfully treated thepatient with penicillin. The treatment of three additionalpatients with penicillin and of one with erythromycin resulted incomplete resolution of symptoms within 48 to 72 hours. Considered unrelated to ECM were skin lesions in 13 of 51residents in the eastern Connecticut towns of Lyme, Old Lyme, andEast Haddam where, since 1972, clusters of inhabitants had beensuffering of an illness characterized by recurrent attacks ofasymmetric swelling and pain in large joints, especially the knee.Since such arthritic conditions were not known to be associatedwith ECM in Europe, the illness was thought to be a new clinicalentity and was named Lyme arthritis, later changed to Lyme diseaseonce it was realized that arthritis was only one of severalclinical manifestations of this disease. The search for effective antibiotics in the treatment of Lymedisease began in 1982 with my discovery of a spirochete now knownas Borrelia burgdorferi as the causative agent of Lyme disease andof ECM and related disorders (acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans,lymphadenosis benigna cutis) in Europe. The antibiotics foundeffective include tetracyclines (doxycycline, minocycline),penicillins (penicillin G, amoxycillin), cephalosporins (cefotaxime,ceftriaxone), and erythromycin. Application of these drugs dependson the time the disease is being diagnosed. Early Lyme disease istreated orally whereas late Lyme disease requires parenteral or acombination of parenteral and oral applications. Treatmentfailures have been reported for each of these drugs particularlyfor the tetracyclines that are only temporarily effective unlessthey are applied over long periods of time, i.e. months even years. Controversy exists over the length of treatment using* Mild Silver Protein (MSP). Some investigators consider21 to 30 days sufficient for the elimination of the spirochetes,while others believe that patients must be kept on therapy untilthey are completely free of symptoms. The diagnosis of Lyme disease is a clinical one and is basedon the development and recognition of the skin lesion (erythemamigrans) a few days, weeks, or even months, after the bite of aninfected tick. Unfortunately in up to 40% of the patients, theskin lesion does not develop, is not recognized, or is overlooked.Thus, without treatment, the disease spreads throughout the bodyand may affect the muscular, skeleton, cardiac and nervous systems. Indeed, Dr. Farber's recent claim having used MSP tosuccessfully cure himself from late stage Lyme disease, comes at atime when thousands of patients suffering of this disease arerefused extended antibiotic treatment because their physicians areunable to associate their clinical manifestations with those ofLyme disease. Although never established scientifically, it appears that theMild Silver Protein silver colloid disables the enzyme(s) used bybacterial, fungal and viral agents for their oxygen metabolismcausing them to suffocate upon contact. In vitro studies with* Mild Silver Protein and the Lyme disease spirochete, B.burgdorferi, revealed a lOO% killing effect within less than fiveminutes after exposure to the silver preparation.

What is mild silver protein? The article below mentioned silver colloid. I am taking that right now since it is basically flu and cold season. I have also recently been bitten by a tick, but, I think that it is the common dog tick and is not known to, at least frequently, carry the thing that causes lyme. But, I got bit 2.5 weeks ago, and there is still a mark there, and a hard spot below it. Just a very slight raise in the skin. No bullseye or anything.

I do a fair amount of work in the woods and have had a larger normal amount of ticks on me this year. My dogs actually never had one, just me. But all the ticks were the same, the common dog tick. One bit me before I had discovered it. Again, from what I know, and what a vet once told me, lyme is carried by the deer tick and not the common dog tick. Now I hear it can be carried by the dog tick but it is not a regular thing to happen. I hate the damn things. Wonder what good they actually do.

AOL News - Common Dog Tick Found to Spread Disease

Common Dog Tick Found to Spread Disease

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE, AP

(Aug. 10) -- Scientists have discovered that a very common type of dog tick can spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever, a serious and often-fatal illness that reached historic highs in the United States last year.

Two types of ticks already were known to transmit the disease, but they're not as common and are carried mostly by rodents and dogs that live near wild or rural areas. This is the first time that a tick that routinely plagues house pets has been implicated.

The discovery was made through an investigation of Arizona's first outbreak, involving 16 cases and two deaths in the last few years.

Health officials don't want people to panic or think this will become a nationwide epidemic, because they've only found these infected ticks in Arizona. But the newly implicated tick lives everywhere in the world, and experts have been stumped by many unexplained cases of the disease around the United States.

"We may have been missing this in the past," said Linda Demma, who led the study for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It's almost certainly occurring in other places and not diagnosed," agreed Dr. J. Stephen Dumler, an expert on the disease at Johns Hopkins University. He wrote an editorial accompanying a report of the CDC study in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first recognized a century ago in Idaho but has spread through much of the United States. More than half of cases are reported from the south-Atlantic states - Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Oklahoma and North Carolina have reported the most.

The disease is caused by bacteria that infect ticks, which then bite and infect animals and people.

Symptoms occur 5 to 10 days later and can include fever, nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, lack of appetite and severe headache - signs often mistakenly attributed to common viral ailments. Late symptoms include a spotted rash, abdominal pain, joint pain and diarrhea.

Antibiotics, particularly doxycycline, are effective when given early. But fatality rates as high as 20 percent have been reported when cases are not recognized, and the disease is especially severe in children.

From a low point of 365 cases in 1998, cases have risen to 1,514 last year, but officials think that far more have gone unreported.

The CDC and Indian Health Service officials from Arizona and New Mexico investigated a cluster of cases in rural eastern Arizona from 2002 through 2004.

Blood and tissue samples confirmed that 11 people had the disease; 5 more were called probable cases. Most were under 12, and two died.

Researchers found infected common brown dog ticks in all of the victims' yards. Ticks turned up in the cracks of stucco walls inside homes, in crawl spaces underneath them and on furniture that children played on outside.

The investigators have since found another 3 people they believe had the disease in 2001 from the same area of Arizona.

Until now, the only ticks known to spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever were the less common American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick.

"No longer can we consider Rocky Mountain spotted fever a disease of only rural and southern venues; it has emerged and re-emerged again," Dumler wrote.

"The disease is in the midst of its third emergence since 1920, after peaks from 1939 to 1949 and again from 1974 to 1984," according to Dumler, who has compiled numbers from published accounts and cases reported to CDC.

Officials recommend these steps to avoid ticks:

Wear light-colored clothes so ticks are more visible.

Tuck pants legs into your socks.

Use insect repellents on skin, clothes and boots.

Use a mirror to carefully check for ticks after being in tick-infested areas. Parents should check children's hair for ticks.

Use tweezers to remove ticks and protect your fingers with a tissue or gloves. Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull up with steady, even pressure, without twisting or jerking the tick. Apply a disinfectant to the skin and wash your hands.

Save the tick so it can be identified if you later become ill. Seal it in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer, and note the date.
