Although Lyme disease is said to have been first discovered in 1977, after a mysterious outbreak of arthritis near the town of Lyme, Connecticut, it was actually first identified in Germany in 1883, in the town of Breslau. (1) Conventional wisdom asserts that Lyme disease is relatively rare and only transmitted by ticks. In actuality, it is now an epidemic; and it can be spread by other insects, not just ticks- fleas, mosquitoes, mites, and flies. There has also been a correlation with the transmission of Lyme via human-to-human contact,  blood transfusion and including breast feeding.[Dr. Katrina Tang, M.D., H.M.D., Reno Nevada]

With 35,198 new cases reported to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2008, "Lyme disease accounts for 90% of all vector-borne infections" in the US.(2) In fact, the CDC estimates the number of actual cases to be 6 to 12 times higher than reported. (3)

Although Lyme is typically identified by an initial rash- a "bulls-eye" rash, only 30 to 40% of adults with Lyme disease and less than 10% of infected children exhibit the "bulls eye" rash. Because of these numbers, Lyme disease-if left untreated, inevitably spreads throughout the body.

Symptoms of Lyme disease in early and late stages of dissemination are variable and include Chronic fatigue; headache; weakness; muscle pain and swelling; chills; fever; sore throat; nausea; vomiting; facial paralysis; swollen lymph glands; enlarged spleen; profuse perspiration; irregular heartbeat; seizures; blurry vision; memory loss; cranial and Bell;s palsy; impaired muscle coordination; gait problems; stabbing pains along the extremities; diminished reflexes; brain and spinal cord infection; bladder and kidney problems; infertility; liver problems and skin disorders. Depression has been noted, by Vanderhoof-Forschner where it has affected as many as 1/3 all Lyme disease patients. Other disorders in this category include mood swings, dementia, personality changes, hallucinations, panic attacks, impulsive violence, paranoia, schizophrenia and eating disorders (4).   Lyme disease can also be a cause of other degenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer's, fibromyalgia, and MS.

The main reason that Lyme is so resistant to detection and therapy is that it is pleomorphic, meaning it can radically change form- cell wall deficient. This means that it doesn't have a fixed exterior membrane presenting information- a target- that would allow our immune system or drugs to attack it. Because of this the testing may not be valid. Several researchers have noted that because it is extremely diverse in its appearance, its activity, and its vulnerability, one can't expect any one antibiotic to be effective. Also, bacteria share genetic material with one another, so the offspring of the next generation may have a new genetic sequence that can resist the antibiotic.

Treating Lyme disease effectively involves a comprehensive, knowledgeable approach that integrates both western medicine and alternative medicine. If you have been diagnosed with Lyme or feel you  may  have Lyme disease and would like to work with us, as an alternative, please contact us.

Risk Profile for Lyme Disease

This is information is for those who have been diagnosed with cancer and who would like to explore other alternatives to complement their journey back to health.

There is no 100% cure, at this time, for Cancer- whether it be a vitamin, mineral, enzyme, herb, or other treatments of any kind. Therefore, our goal will be to complement the western medical treatment with adjunctive use of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and herbs to increase the chances of survival by targeting those very vulnerable areas of Cancer and/or metastasis of sort.

This is an incomplete story and it is yours to complete with the right adjectives. Take for example a cheerleading squad. Each person has his job to be a part of a complete formation. However, if one of those people does not do his job, the formation is incomplete and vulnerable [a fall].

Look at this from a nutritional aspect. The core of the squad is western medical treatment-all along the sides and above are nutritional/botanical agents that will either enhance treatment or support further positive actions in releasing stress on the body.

Remember too, it is not just the supplements/herbs and medical treatment. To complete the circle is to find the emotional, spiritual, psychological and social support from within, from family members, friends, church groups and even acquaintances who might be familiar with “Cancer”.

Cancer is fatiguing! What is needed more than not are rest and relaxation, and maybe meditation and affirmations to help in the healing process. This is what we, you and I, hope to accomplish.

Although there are a number of supplements, both nutritional and botanical that have been shown to  target the many different aspects of Cancer biology, researchers have done studies to support  those that were found to work the best as powerful synergistic agents. These are evidence based, meaning that there is scientific research that exists supporting these recommendations.

GOALS

• To enhance your nutritional status with cancer-fighting whole food phytonutrients
• To assess body organ function with a series of laboratory tests, and to help identify those areas in need of support [with occasional retests to monitor your progress]
• To maximize immune system function with the education of  use of dietary supplements
• To utilize botanical supplements- Those that have scientific research showing that they may help impact  cancer
• To provide nutritional support for the chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments you may choose to have
• To create a lifestyle that will not only integrate a holistic approach to maximize internal healing- but also to incorporate a spiritual awareness- e.g. Faith in a supreme being that gives the strength or desire to be healed.

Educational in-office tools available for detecting stresses in the body

1. Adrenal function test - Ragland Test - using blood pressure cuff; pupil response test
2. Thyroid function test - in addition to 3 day basal thermometer - iodine absorption test
3. Calcium reserve deficiency test - blood pressure cuff
4. Sesame seed test - to measure how long transit time is within the alimentary system
5. If applicable, mineral taste test - to determine if there are sufficient mineral reserves.
6. Evaluation of dietary journal to find imbalances in ratios of food groups.
7. Urine test - Includes urinary free radical test, urinary PH test, urinary chemstrip test, urinary adrenal test, urinary mal-absorption test, urinary calcium test, urinary vitamin C test, urinary nitrate test, urinary sugar test, urinary electrolyte test, and urinary ammonia test. [optional] Osteomend urine test to determine risk of osteoporosis.
8. Blood typing kits for those who do not know what their blood type is.
9. Blood work-up available with extensive report (optional-price varies but is very reasonable). Highly recommend getting this extensive work-up. Or if current blood work-up is sufficient then an analysis (Apex Blood Nutrition Software) will be done of it (included in price).
10. Sclerology assessment - health status using the whites of the eyes, as well as visual assessment of face, hands, and feet.
11. Muscle Testing (Kinesiology) to determine which supplements help strengthen the body, as well as to determine food sensitivity/allergy.
12. Bio-Feedback - bio-energetic de-stressing of the body's systems.
13. Optional - recommended for some: Hormone profile testing/neurotransmitter profile/and or saliva testing for imbalances. Other testing if applicable - included in protocol.
14. Zyto Technology introducing the Compass- another bio-energetic tool to assess stresses in the system.
