4. 3-Part Presentation 1. A crash course on Lyme disease
2. The most effective conventional and alternative therapies
3. Supportive treatments and resources

5. What Is Lyme Disease?
A bacterial infection caused by spirochetel bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi
Transmitted by:
Ticks
Sexual contact
Trans-placenta
Other insects
Systems affected:
Spiral shaped bacteria can infect all organs including the brain
Symptoms caused by:
Neurotoxins
Inflammation

6. What are the symptoms? Common beliefs: Reality:
Narrow spectrum of symptoms
Bull’s-eye rash, joint pain, Bell’s palsy, flu-like symptoms
Symptoms identical in every case
Reality:
Symptoms differ greatly between individuals
“Great Imitator," Lyme disease can masquerade as:
Multiple sclerosis
Arthritis
Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Schizophrenia
Chronic fatigue syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Autism
Depression
Candida (believe it or not!)
Irritable bowel syndrome
Parkinson’s disease
Migraine headaches
Cardiac problems
Many more!

7. How Is It Diagnosed? Common beliefs: Reality
Doctors are trained to look for Lyme disease
Laboratory tests are accurate
Modern medicine has Lyme disease figured out
Reality
Doctors are taught that Lyme disease is infinitesimally rare
Laboratory tests are not reliable
Modern medicine largely ignores Lyme disease
Accurate diagnosis is made by clinical observation and/or a therapeutic trial, not laboratory tests

8. Conducting a Therapeutic Trial The Most Reliable Diagnostic Method
How it works:
Administer trial course of Lyme disease treatment
E.g. Rife treatment session or short course of antibiotics
Monitor response
Why it works:
Lyme Disease is one of only a few illnesses involving herxheimer reaction after antibiotics or rife session
Interpreting the results:
Herxheimer reaction indicates likely Lyme infection
Symptom improvement indicates likely Lyme infection

9. How prevalent is it? Common beliefs: Reality A rare infection
Isolated to a few regions
Only in the United States
We have accurate statistics on actual number of cases
Number of cases not increasing each year
Reality
A very common infection
All 50 states have reported cases
Prevalent worldwide
Inaccurate statistics on actual number of cases
Number of cases greatly increasing each year

12. The global distribution of Ixodex spp
The global distribution of Ixodex spp. ticks able to transmit the agent of Lyme Disease, Borrelia burgdorfei.

14. What the math reveals Why CDC estimates are low
CDC: 20,000 Cases per Year in the US alone
Experts estimate only 10% of Cases Reported to CDC
Infected people do not suspect Lyme disease
Inaccurate tests/misdiagnosis
Unrealistic reporting criteria
Real Number of Cases: 20,000 x 10 = 200,000/yr in the United States alone!
Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients agrees: July, 2004 issue estimates 200,000 new cases per year
Unsuccessful or unapplied treatment = cumulative cases
Number of sufferers in 2006 = 1 million? 10 million?
American Cancer Society: 1.2 million cancer cases/year

15. How is it treated? Common beliefs: Reality
3 weeks of amoxicillin or doxycycline is adequate
symptoms after treatment are “all in your head”
Antibiotics are 100% effective
No such thing as “chronic Lyme disease”
Reality
In many cases, three weeks of antibiotics is insufficient
Remaining symptoms after treatment indicate ongoing infection
Elusive and resilient bacteria often survives antibiotic therapy
Chronic Lyme disease results from inadequate therapy

16. What is an LLMD? Lyme Literate Medical Doctor
Recognize and treat acute and chronic Lyme disease
IV antibiotics at high doses for extended courses (1 to 24 months!)
Advocate and hero to Lyme disease sufferers
Increasingly persecuted and disciplined by state medical boards
Some people get cured
Get a referral at
Disadvantages of long-term antibiotic therapy
Often not curative
Dangerous and permanent side effects
Inconvenient and expensive
The stage is set for much-needed alternative therapies

17. The most effective conventional and alternative treatments
Part II
The most effective conventional and alternative treatments

18. Three forms of Lyme bacteria each must be addressed
Spirochete form
Conventionally believed to be primary form but in fact, only a small part of the problem
Most mobile form, responsible for rapidly spreading infection
Spiral, drill-capable shape allows penetration into brain, cartilage, bone
Primary treatment goal to kill spirochetes without inducing their conversion to other two forms

19. Cell-wall-deficient form
Also known as variant form or L-form
Much smaller and less mobile than spirochetes
Can cause horrific disease conditions including autoimmunity and worsening of regular Lyme symptoms
L-form bacteria were once spirochetes, conversion occurred to allow survival of cell wall inhibiting antibiotics and other adverse conditions
Very difficult to kill
Capable of Intracellular infection
Current rife technology does not kill them – other treatments are necessary

20. Cyst Form
Most protective form, assumed when conditions are most hostile
Spirochetes convert to cysts in minutes
Cannot be killed by heat, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, freezing, starvation, cell wall inhibiting and protein synthesis inhibiting antibiotics.
Does not cause symptoms
Can convert back to spirochete and variant form at any time
Can aid in reproduction – one spirochete can produce multiple cysts
Reason for false “cure” followed by unexpected relapse
Spirochetes are intact within cyst
Current rife technology does not kill them – special treatment is necessary

21. Killing the infection 3 treatments for 3 bacterial forms
Rife therapy for spirochete form
Invented/discovered by Doug MacLean in the early 1980s
Entire family infected - antibiotics failed
Laboratory in basement of home – observed spirochetes being killed by electromagnetic frequencies, then cured himself and family
One of the “fathers” of modern rife technology
Very effective – bacterial shape possibly contributes to susceptibility
Treat every 3-10 days
Rife used to fight Lyme disease for more than 20 years
Herxheimer reactions evidence effectiveness
Frequencies on page 115 of my book or in the CAFL
4 specific machines have proven most effective

26. Not just effective, rife therapy is also
Affordable
Convenient
Non-toxic
Autonomous from the medical establishment
These qualities are especially important in the context of a 1-3 year treatment campaign

27. Marshall Protocol for cell-wall-deficient form
Invented by Trevor Marshall, Ph.D., to treat sarcoidosis
Colossal breakthrough in infectious disease medicine
Components
Protein synthesis inhibiting antibiotics: macrolides (azithromycin and clarithromycin), tetracyclines (minocycline, demeclocycline) and lincosamides (clindamycin)
Sun and vitamin D avoidance
Benicar® (olmesartan medoxomil) 
Successfully treats numerous “incurable” diseases!
Antibiotics 10x more effective so 1/10 dose needed
Vicious herxheimer reactions indicate effectiveness
Rosner: take breaks from the protocol. Marshall: do not.
Requires trained physician supervision: more information, doctor referral, at
New and radically different paradigm, so spend time researching this – learn more at
Dr. Marshall

28. Antibiotics, careful timing, for cyst form
Norwegian scientists, Brorsons, published 9 studies on susceptibility of cysts to various antibiotics
5-nitromidizoles most effective:
Flagyl® (metronidazole)
Tindamax® (tinidazole)
Ornidazole (New Zealand, Australia: Tiberal ®)
Secnidazole, compounded, Apothe'Cure Pharmacy, Dallas, TX (972)
Very strong herxheimer reactions
Not sufficiently effective
Most effective cyst treatment strategy is long breaks from all antibiotics
During breaks, cysts convert to rife-susceptible spirochete form
More cysts = longer recovery, 6-48 months, cysts most likely to convert in spring and fall
Process similar to peeling layers off an onion
Can be mistaken for relapse – without rife, it is a relapse!
If antibiotics used continuously, peeling stops, you will never recover!

29. Antibiotics to Avoid: cell wall inhibitors Cause conversion to cyst, cell-wall-deficient form
All penicillins (and similar)
Examples: Amoxicillin (Amoxil®, Trimox®), Amoxicillin and Clavulanate (Augmentin®), Ampicillin (Principen®, Totacillin®), Penicillin G (Bicillin C-R®, Bicillin L-A®, Pfizerpen®)
All cephalosporins (and similar)
Examples: Cefaclor (Ceclor®), Cefadroxil (Duricef®), Cefazolin (Ancef®, Kefzol®), Cefdinir (Omnicef®), Cefixime (Suprax®), Cefotaxime (Claforan®), Cefprozil (Cefzil®), Ceftibuten (Cedax®), Ceftriaxone (Rocephin®), (Keflex®, Keftab®), Imipenem and Cilastatin (Primaxin I.V.®),
Warning! Severe disease worsening!

30. Supportive treatments and resources
Part III
Supportive treatments and resources

31. Mercury chelation
Lyme sufferers are more likely to be mercury poisoned than other people – Lyme bacteria stores and utilizes Mercury
Many wrong ways to get Mercury out, one right way
World’s leading expert on mercury chelation is Andrew Cutler, Ph.D. – lives in Seattle
Mercury chelation is often necessary throughout entire recovery process
Avoid IV chelation at all costs
Oral chelators of choice are DMPS and alpha lipoic acid

32. Systemic enzyme supplementation (Wobenzym®)
Take between meals – not a digestive aid
Enzymes are absorbed into systemic circulation
Contains protein-digesting, proteolytic enzymes known as proteases
Numerous benefits:
Anti-inflammatory
Antibiotic action
Cleans blood of protein debris
Immunomodulatory effects
Rapid symptom improvement
Reduces symptoms of the herx reaction without suppressing immune activity…digests bacterial proteins and neurotoxins

33. Lifestyle Factors Diet Aerobic exercise Mandatory for recovery Rest
Avoid processed sugar
Avoid alcohol
Avoid smoking
Common sense, healthy diet
Aerobic exercise
Mandatory for recovery
Only in moderation, increase as tolerated
Oxygenates tissues, moves lymphatic system, detoxifies, helps digestion, balances brain chemistry
Rest
Adequate sleep is essential
Rest between aerobic workouts until completely recovered
Avoid adrenal exhaustion by learning to manage stress
