For people with Bartonella

by Greg Lee

 

 

You hear the wail of sirens signaling the arrival of several fire engines.

Down the street, you see firemen carrying hoses up to a house with black

smoke billowing out of it. From inside the house, you hear the sounds of

breaking glass and the shouts of firemen. Suddenly, the smoke from the house

suddenly turns from black to white as firemen spray hundreds of gallons of

water on the fire.

 

 

How is putting out a house fire similar to eliminating a Bartonella

bacteria infection?

 

People with a Bartonella infection can feel just like they are inside a

burning house

People can get this disease from insect bites, coming into contact with

infected pet saliva, or being scratched by an infected animal. As a result of

tick bites, many people with Lyme disease also get Bartonella. They can

have hot, burning, painful sensations in their feet, legs, arms, and/or

hands. Other symptoms can include bouts of anxiety, irritability, and/or

suicidal depression. Unfortunately, this infection can be difficult to

eliminate.

 

 

Bartonella can hide in your blood cells

 

At a recent lecture, Dr. Ken Singleton, a prominent Lyme literate

physician, gave his opinion that Bartonella can be harder to clear than Lyme

disease with antibiotics. Another physician, Dr. James Schaller describes

Bartonella on his website:

 

 

“Bartonella is a powerful emerging infection with 32 species that causes

dozens of psychiatric, neurological, heart, eye, liver problems and

promotes: depression, heart attacks, strokes, rage, migraines, agitation,

damage to

any organ, personality changes, brain fog, ADD, heart valve injury,

fatigue, bipolar disorder.â€

 

 

Research studies show that Bartonella is able to hide inside of red blood

cells1. This may be one of the reasons why some researchers find that it is

harder to kill in the body.

 

 

Bartonella appears to resist many antibiotics

 

According to a John Hopkins website, six species are known to cause

disease in humans. In 2007, the newest species of this bug that infects humans

was discovered in sheep. Research studies have reported that antibiotics kill

Bartonella more effectively in the lab and not as effectively in patients.

One reason is that it is able to develop resistance against certain drugs2.

Other Lyme literate physicians use a combination of different drugs to

combat Bartonella.

 

 

If physicians describe Bartonella as a difficult infection to treat, what

else can help you to eliminate it?

 

 

An eastern solution for addressing Bartonella

 

Since Bartonella symptoms can show up as heat in different parts of the

body and emotional agitation this implies that this infection has a hot or “

Yang†quality. And given that this infection can affect every organ,

including the brain, implies that the bacteria and its toxins are able to

wander

into every part of the body. These qualities can be characterized by

something called “fire toxins†in . Fortunately, there are

ways

to help you to clear these fire toxins and eliminate this infection.

 

 

A Chinese herbal strategy for putting out the fire of Bartonella

 

In Chinese herbal medicine, an herb called “houttuynia†is classified as

“

Clearing Heat and Relieving Toxicity.†This herb has been successfully

used to treat Bartonella by a Chinese physician in New York named Dr. Q.

Zhang3. This herb has antibacterial and antiviral properties in addition to

clearing heat and toxins. Fortunately this herb can be combined with other

herbs to help relieve Bartonella symptoms.

 

 

Carrier herbs help to target Bartonella symptoms

 

Patients experience a dramatic reduction of their Bartonella symptoms when

houttuynia is combined with other special herbs, called “carrier herbs.â€

Carrier herbs are like taxis that “carry†other herbs into specific parts

of the body. If a patient has burning legs or feet, then an herb called “

dipsacus†or Japanese teasel root can carry houttuynia into the lower

extremities. Cinnamon Twigs are used to carry houttuynia into the lymph system,

the hands, and feet. Kudzu is used to deliver houttuynia into the shoulders

and neck. Adding organ protecting herbs also helps to reduce Bartonella

symptoms.

 

 

Other herbs help to protect your organs against a Bartonella infection

 

Ginseng and salvia can be used to reduce palpitations and protect the

heart against inflammation. Licorice and schissandra are used to protect the

liver from infection and damaging toxins. Ligusticum and acorus are used to

help clear brain fog and protect against inflammation. Mint and kudzu help

to vent rashes out of the skin. When adding protecting herbs to a customized

mixture of herbs patients report significant improvements.

 

 

Patients report reduced Bartonella symptoms

 

When patients take 2-4 grams of houttuynia each day combined with carrier

and organ protecting herbs, they have reported a dramatic decrease in their

burning sensations in their extremities. In as little as one week, some

patients have had 90% of their burning symptoms disappear. Other Bartonella

patients have also reported feeling less irritable, having more energy, and

significantly reduced headaches. Others report less heart palpitations and

improved mental clarity. Using the right set of herbs can address your

specific symptoms.

 

 

The right combination of herbs can help you eliminate Bartonella symptoms

 

Just like putting out a house fire, using a customized combination herbs

can help you to put out burning Bartonella symptoms. Adding carrier herbs

and organ protecting herbs also helps you to target painful areas in your

body and helps your organs to heal. Consult with a trained Chinese herbalist

to help you formulate the best herbs for zapping your Bartonella symptoms.
