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
• Narrow spectrum of symptoms
• Bulls-eye rash, joint pain, Bells 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 Parkinsons disease Migraine
headaches Cardiac problems Many more!
7
How Is It Diagnosed?

• Common beliefs
• 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 TrialThe 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
• 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

What the math revealsWhy 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?
l

• Common beliefs
• 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 http//www.lymenet.org
• 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
Part II

• The most effective conventional and alternative
  treatments

18
Three forms of Lyme bacteriaeach 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 infection3 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

22

• Doug Machine (a.k.a. Coil Machine or QSC1850HD
  Machine)
• Longest track record
• Frequency range 20-2200 Hz
• Build it yourself for 1100
• Building instructions athttp//www.lymebook.com/p
  owerpoint

23

• EMEM Machine (a.k.a. Plasma Machine)
• More affordable, portable, easier to use than
  coil machine
• Frequency range 20-10,000 Hz
• Build it yourself or purchase for 450-1500
• Very effective, but probably less effective than
  coil machine
• Many models available, only a few are effective

EMEM5
EMEM3D
EMEM3DV
24

• High Power Magnetic Pulser (HPMP)
• DC machine - does not use frequencies
• Purchase for approx. 650
• In addition to killing bacteria, this machine has
  many other healing benefits
• Works well in combination with an AC machine
• Body-size coil reaches deep tissues and
  entrenched infection
• Battery powered

High Power Magnetic Pulser
25

• GB4000 Amplifier
• Most effective contact machine according to
  available user reports
• MHz carrier frequency is mandatory

Mandatory amplifier
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
  www.marshallprotocol.com
• New and radically different paradigm, so spend
  time researching this learn more at
  www.lymebook.com/marshallprotocol

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 [phone]

• 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 inhibitorsCause
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!

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
• Worlds 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
• Learn more at www.lymebook.com/Mercury

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 activitydigests bacterial
  proteins and neurotoxins

33
Lifestyle Factors

• Diet
• 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
