Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Dan, Some researchers feel Lyme is the result of biotoxins that are trapped in the body's biliary tree. The toxins can exist after the parasite is killed. The researchers feel that there's also a heavy metal connection. I have struggled with GI problems that I think is related to heavy metals (I noticed some relief when I tried DMSA and recently, iodine). A hair analysis from Doctor's Data (a self-test is available through DirectLabs.com) can confirm whether you have toxic heavy metals in your body. I have had 2 hair analysis tests and both showed high lead, cadmium and copper. I also have markers for high mercury as per Dr. Andy Cutler's book called Hair Test Interpretation. I'm a writer/researcher and I found some interesting information about Lyme Disease last year in Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker's book called Desperation Medicine. Here's a short review I wrote about his book (he has a chapter in his book about Lyme Disease). I've also included a review of another book called " The Detoxx Book " (Note: I don't know why the authors put an extra " x " on the end of " detox " ). You'll notice Lyme Disease is mentioned. Foster, Kane and Speight promote a non-drug approach to detox and use Cholestryramine (an old cholesterol-lowering drug) only in extreme cases. >> Desperation Medicine by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker Remember Hollywood’s 1995 movie Outbreak about the emergence of a new virus and the attempts of the authorities to deal with it—starring Dustin Hoffman, Renee Russo, Donald Sutherland and Morgan Freeman? Ritchie Shoemaker’s story about the disease patterns that emerged near the small town of Pocomoke City, Maryland, has many parallels— only the story is real! As thousands of dead fish appeared in streams and rivers near the Chesapeake Bay, debilitating symptoms began to show up in his patients. As a trained molecular biologist and toxicologist, Ritchie identified a toxin-related illness that he saw was linked to Pfiesteria and environmental damage—something that public health officials wished to keep covered up. His book is an account of his fight with federal, state and local bureaucrats who refused to acknowledge the effects of pollution. To care for his patients on his own, Ritchie pioneered the use of the Visual Contrast Sensitivity test as a method for diagnosis of neurotoxic illness, and the use of a cholesterol lowering drug, called Cholestyramine, to trap biotoxins and prevent them from re-circulating through the body’s biliary tree and bile. See: https://www.chronicneurotoxins.com >> The Detoxx Book: Detoxification of Biotoxins in Chronic Neurotoxic Syndromes Doctors John Foster, M.D., Patricia Kane, Ph.D. and Neal Speight, M.D., who wrote The Detoxx Book: Detoxification of Biotoxins in Chronic Neurotoxic Syndromes, explain that parasites and heavy metals coexist in cell membranes. Their research on parasites is, in part, based on the scientific research of Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a country doctor and molecular biologist who discovered a link between parasites and debilitating disease patterns on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake in a small town called Pokomoke City, Maryland. In The Detoxx Book, Foster, Kane and Speight say, “the complex dance of detoxification involves both toxins of microbial origin plus a vast array of toxins from our food supply and environment.” They feel that the patient populations affected are those with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Schlerosis, Depression, Lyme Disease, Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke, Pulmonary Hemorrhage, Mold, Chemical Exposure, Optic Neuritis, Infertility, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Estuary Associated Syndrome (Pfiesteria), Diabetes without family history, Autism and Refractory Heavy Metal Toxicity. >> Note: Dr. Alan Baklyan, who wrote The Hidden Causes of Many Diseases, considers parasites a key factor in disease and says he learned to pay attention to parasites from Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark. Clark and Baklyan have both noticed that heavy metals accumulate in areas of the body that are infected with parasites and that the fight to get rid of them also involves the simulateous removal of heavy metals. Mary Jo Looking for more natural as possible help Posted by: " Dan Winscot " winscots winscots Thu Mar 27, 2008 10:28 am (PDT) Hi, Just joined this group yesterday. I have been suffering from two nasty ailments for the past few years and would like to know if someone has had any success on riding either one or both by the use of natural means. 1-Lyme disease 2-Myasthenia Gravis At present I am taking a lot of a supplement called Juice Plus+R, a couple of Melaluca products, a couple from Natures WayR, one from VisiViteR and Lymph Star ProR drainage sessions. Here's to helping others, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
