Okay. Welcome, everybody. Today is another Wednesday. Webinar, September 25, 2024. I think that’s right, and welcome, and thanks for joining me. And today I thought I would do another talk describing Lyme disease, or talking about. I was actually, what happened was I was sent a. I think it was an article or a thing, whatever, from the Mercola website describing a new documentary that was just made about Lyme disease. I don’t even know whether the documentary is out or not. I saw the trailer, but I will admit upfront that I have not seen the documentary. So I’m only going on what was written about it.

So, just to be clear, I have not seen the documentary, but I know there’s a lot of interest in Lyme disease, and I did a show on it. This thing is going in the background. I think I’m going to get rid of that. I did a webinar on Lyme disease some time ago, and I know the Bailey’s have also done a show on Lyme disease. So those are other places to check. There’s a woman named Steph Young, and she has written about Lyme disease. So there’s other places to go to check into this. So, yeah, so basically, Lyme disease is a big subject.

Interestingly, I happen to live in the county that I hear. I didn’t confirm this, but supposedly has the highest number percentage wise or per capita Lyme disease diagnoses in the country. And so that may be actually in the world. So I’m in the epicenter of Lyme disease right here. And for sure, we see there’s a lot of people who say they have Lyme disease. There’s doctors whose specific practices, mostly so called Lyme literate, alternative type practitioners whose practice is mostly Lyme disease patients. And there’s all kinds of people doing all kinds of work around Lyme disease.

I can say for sure there’s a lot of ticks around here, although, interestingly, this summer, there was less than last summer, and I don’t know why, but I will pick. I think I’ve probably picked off ten or ten to 20 embedded ticks from myself in every summer. And last summer, I used to spend maybe ten minutes a day picking ticks off pumpkin, especially big fat ones that were engorged with this blood. He never seemed to bother him, except if I pulled too hard to get one of them out. But mostly he just sat there and let me pull them out.

It only was a problem. There was a few that sort of got around his eyes, and those he didn’t seem to like, but otherwise, he didn’t seem to bother him. So there’s a lot of ticks, a lot of people with Lyme disease, a new documentary made and a big article written about it. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to take another look at what do we really know about Lyme disease. So I’m going to share my screen. So the first thing is, I want to bring. Pull up this article. Let me just check for a minute.

Okay. So this was the article that got my attention. I believe the new movie is called the quiet epidemic. And this was recent, September 21. That’s like four days ago. And there you see the story at a glance that Lyme disease, 500,000 Americans, 20%, have long term symptoms. And the documentary explores the treatment and the illness and why it’s so controversial and challenging to diagnose. Now, the first thing that you notice is the disease mimics various conditions. Certainly, we’ve heard that before. The great mimicker, like syphilis, supposedly also caused by respirochete, therefore, the misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.

And it’s a lot like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, MS, Alzheimer’s and rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and there’s a few other ones. And so that’s part of the problem. And certainly we’ve heard that before, that once you get into the specific and sort of believe in these disease categories, you have a hell of a time trying to figure out which one is chronic fatigue and which one is fibromyalgia and which one is MS and which one is maybe Alzheimer’s and which one is severe allergies. And you also noticed that over the years. I remember a time early on when everybody seemed to have chronic fatigue syndrome, and then everybody seemed to have fibromyalgia, and then a lot of people had MS, and now everybody seems to have Lyme disease.

So it’s sort of like the diagnosis of the day. The testing is unreliable. There’s a lot of debate about it, and there’s a lot of stories in this, and certainly nobody’s saying there aren’t people who are sick. And there’s even some heart wrenching stories, I’m sure. But that’s not what we’re focusing on here. This was also interesting, promising research and imaging techniques that could definitively detect the borrelia bacteria, which causes Lyme disease. That’s a definitive claim in patient’s body. I tried to look for what this imaging technique, like an ultrasound or a CT scan or a PET scan or what are they talking about here? But I was not.

I was unable to find out what imaging technique they’re talking about, and let’s just say I have my doubts. Then they talk about patient advocacy. In other words, they’re calling for, like, governmental intervention so that the government can get involved, similar to what happened with AIDS, to help people manage and understand this complex chronic illness and get a better handle on how to treat it. I looked at some of the quotes here, especially from some of the doctors. So here’s investigative reporter. 500,000 cases, more Lyme disease than HIV and breast cancer. Every single one of these, of course, we’ll get into this.

Nobody really knows how to define this. So here’s the first one I wanted to read. Richard Horowitz, a Lyme disease specialist featured in the film, and apparently this is a quote from him. Lyme disease can be the great masquerader of the eighties and nineties, and that it can do almost anything. The most common misdiagnosis that I see in my practice are people who’ve been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, a big one. Patients have dementia, Alzheimer’s. Lyme can imitate all of these different diseases. So the first thing I want to say about that is, so we have a problem, right? The problem is there is no differentia.

Ability to differentiate clinically, in other words, from the story, which person has lupus or rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue from Lyme disease. Can’t be done, right? Cannot be done. Lyme disease, apparently so they, Lyme literate doctors apparently say it can imitate those. So therefore, it must be true. Think about this, what I’m about to say for a minute. It must be true that the only diagnostic difference is that Lyme disease is caused by this borrelia spirochete bacteria, and the others apparently are not. So that becomes an important part, right? Because symptom wise, there’s no way to tell.

Let me say that again. Symptom wise, you cannot differentiate between what we call chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or Lyme disease. Therefore, it must be based on the understanding that lyme is caused by a borrelia and the others are not. So that’s the differentiation. So then, of course, there’s the heart. Warm, heart wrenching stories of the person who can’t feel their arms and legs. And I don’t want to downplay these stories, and I’m not saying these things aren’t happening, but they’re also. It’s also playing on your emotions. And so here we then get into the next quote. Neil Specter, Duke University cancer researcher, Lyme disease patient himself.

So we need better diagnosis, right? Because we can’t tell who’s got it. There’s only one known, and that’s the people are falling through the cracks. The burden should not be on the people, but should be on us to help them better understand what’s going on. Okay. Then we get the doctor. Zhang, a microbiologist, describes a phenomena observed in Borrelia Borg dorphea. Again, a specific claim. The bacteria that causes Lyme disease. We’re dealing with a very unique situation. The current lyme antibiotic does not completely eradicate borrelia bacteria. We found this dandelion phenomena. The mower is equivalent to the antibiotics that chopped off the top part.

Because the root, the possessor, is still there, they grow back. You need drugs targeting both parts in order to more effectively cure this persistent form of the disease. So here we have the claim that the bacteria are causing Lyme disease, and the wily bacteria, they’re not killed by just usual antibiotics. So you need to get at the root, because they somehow hide and evade treatment, unlike other bacteria. So that’s part of the story. Here we get into. Spectre says you could image this in the body. That removes all doubt. That’s pretty definitive evidence. You got the bacteria and you need to be treated for an active infection.

There’s no mention here of what this imaging technique is, and I couldn’t find anything on that, so I can’t really say, here you have something that says, well, here’s another Julia’s story, I guess. I don’t think I need to go into that. Let me see. Disease of many faces. Okay. I think that may be it for that. Yeah, the human cost and the imaging. So what I wanted to really highlight from this is that there’s no way, clinically or through the story. I’m not saying the story isn’t the key. What I’m saying is to hear the story and then make the claim that they have Lyme disease.

That can’t be done, because there’s no way to differentiate Lyme disease from all these other syndromes and fibromyalgia, etcetera. So it has to be based on diagnosing that there’s an active infection with this borrelia, spirochetic kind of bacteria. And they’re looking into a mysterious kind of imaging technique that will allow us to see this infection in real time, and then it does go through some things, like Klinghardt, about how you have to do all kinds of stuff, get into, you know, energy, medicine and all that’s fine. I’m not saying anything against that, really. What I’m talking about is this claim and the belief that there is a disease called Lyme disease, and it’s caused by a bacteria called borrelia.

Okay? So that’s really the issue here. So here was another paper I saw. This one is called Lyme with a side or two of babesia, the most common co infection that is frequently missed. This was by the Bay Area Lyme foundation, somebody named Wendy Adams. And the only thing I want to say here is there’s also been what’s happened in my career time. The evolution from this was a simple borrelia bacteria infection to now there are co infections from various parasites in particularly a parasite called babesia. Now, I would hope that most people have seen the recent episode I did with Daniel Reuters on debunking the whole parasite thing, even the existence of what we call the protozoa, examples of parasites, which is what babesia is.

So babesia is a protozoa type of parasite. Parasite. And so here you see the words, although Lyme disease caused by the bacteria borrelia burgdorferia, again, a very specific claim as to the cause. The most common disease that human acquires from tick bites. Again, there’s a claim the cause of this is tick bites that transmit a bacteria called borrelia. They can also transmit other bacteria, viruses, and parasites. And multiple infections can even be transmitted during the same bite. This confusing and overlapping disease symptoms caused by multiple infections makes it extremely difficult for doctors to recognize, diagnose, and treat the different infections.

And the most common co infection, or I. They’re saying the infection that is transmitted during the same bite or maybe a different bite by a tick, is this parasite protozoa called babesia. And the only other thing I found interesting in this article was that this Wendy Adams, who’s the research director and advisory board member, she has a history of, as well as her background in product development and business strategy for companies like Cowen, Genentech, and Averon. But that’s the different spelling of Cowan. As far as I know, nobody named Wendy Adams has ever worked for us or had anything to do with us.

And if she ever applied, I certainly have a lot of questions for her, so don’t be thrown off by that. Okay, so again, we have a very specific claim. Hang on a minute. That wait a minute. Okay. The very specific claim is we have a infection transmitted from the tick to the person called borrelia. And by the way, at the same time, the borrelia is injected into the body and causes these myriad of symptoms. There’s also other infections, particularly parasites, that are also transmitted by the tick into the person and apparently reproduce and cause their own set of disease symptoms, which is why this is such a difficult infection and syndrome for doctors to diagnose, because there’s multiple parasite and infections and bacterial infections going on at the same time.

And so it becomes very difficult to diagnose. So that is the claim. Okay? Now, when you go to all of these papers, or if you google, if you Google foundational papers that prove that the spirochete, the Borrelia burgdorferia, is the cause of Lyme disease, they essentially all point you back to this one paper. It was published March 31, 1983, New England Journal of Medicine. And you can actually see one of the co authors of the paper is none other than Willy Burgdorfia, PhD, himself. So that’s where the name of the spirochete, takinobacteria was named. And this is the foundational paper.

So if you read the abstract, we recovered a newly recognized spirochete from the blood, skin, or cerebrospinal fluid from patients with Lyme disease. So let’s, of course, as we always do, we go to the method section, and it’s a little small here, it’s even hard for me to read. So we did scrapings from the blood, or we took blood samples, skin biopsy specimens in scraping cerebrospinal fluid, lymph node aspirates, urine specimens were obtained from adults with Lyme disease of recent onset. Now, interestingly, there’s no definition of Lyme disease, so how could they have possibly known that these people have Lyme disease, since there was no cause at this time? This was the foundational paper describing the etiology or the cause of Lyme disease.

So all they had was a bunch of symptoms, which we have already just found out that you cannot diagnose this based on symptoms, because it’s the great imitator, and the symptoms are identical to many other diseases. So there’s no way they could have diagnosed these people with Lyme disease of recent onset. So then they talk about how many milliliters of blood or fluid they extracted, and then we go down, hopefully, and we get to more about the methods. So this first part is just about actually how the mechanics of how they did the skin biopsy. And then we get to the culture, which is what? So the specimens were cultured in these pyrex screw top tubes.

They contain 7 modified Kelly’s medium. That’s sort of a growth medium. We use a combination from previous modifications. By whose its face. They include this stuff with glutamine and 90 sterile water protease, tryptone buffers, some sort of yeast, sodium citrate, sodium pyruvate, sodium bicarbonate, n acetyl, glucosamine, magnesium chloride, and a bunch of other stuff, gelatin, etcetera. So then they grew the bacteria in that from the samples taken from every kind of tissue they could imagine from these patients. Now, here is the most important finding of this, and I’m going to really emphasize this. So here we have a situation.

Let’s just put this in context, where we have a bunch of people who are sick of unknown etiology, right? We don’t know what causes their symptoms, their symptoms. They have fairly severe symptoms. But as we know, we cannot differentiate the diagnosis. We cannot make a diagnosis from the symptoms. So we have no idea that these people actually have Lyme disease. And that’s why I say the diagnosis can only be based on the finding of this specific spirochete that was eventually called Borrelia burgdorferia in their biological fluids, which would then differentiate them from MS and fibromyalgia, etcetera, etcetera.

All right, so here are the results. They took 142 specimens from 56 patients. Three yielded spirochetes. The isolates were recovered from different patients and different parts of the body, one from blood, one from skin biopsy specimen, and one from cerebrospinal fluid. That was then they go on to describe. It took a few weeks for the actual spirochete to grow. Characterization the three spirochetal isolates from patients and the original isolation, etcetera, that isn’t so important. But it took two to three weeks for them to grow. Now, why is that so important? Let me just say this as clearly as I can.

They had 142 specimens from 56 patients. 56 patients of unknown disease. Three of them, one, two, three had. Were they able to grow out the bacteria that they then claimed is the cause of Lyme disease? Think about that for a minute. Imagine I have 56 houses that were exploded on my neighborhood. They’re in ruins, and the other houses are normal. And you go and investigate, and you find raccoons in three of the 56 exploded houses, no raccoons in the other 53 houses. And somehow you conclude that it’s the raccoons are the cause of the houses being exploded.

I don’t know if I should say that again. That is absolute craziness. I mean, I think anybody hearing that would have to think, no, tom got that wrong. That cannot be what they’re saying. Let me read it again. 142 specimens, 56 patients. Three yielded spirochetes. In other words, you have 56 people who are sick. They examine them every which way they can for a bacteria which they say is culturable and growable through that medium. Three of them have the bacteria, 53 of them have no evidence of the bacteria, and somehow they conclude that that bacteria is the cause of the disease.

In all 56. I can only imagine that anybody listening to this a would think, this cannot be this. Tom has this wrong. I don’t. I’m not going to read it again, because that is exactly what they concluded, that, and this is the foundational paper that essentially proved that this bacteria is the cause of Lyme disease. Whereas anybody in their right mind would have to say, this actually proves that that bacteria couldn’t possibly have caused the symptoms in those 56 patients, because 53 of them didn’t even have the bacteria. They were unable to grow it. Now they can go on all they want about how difficult it is to grow, and the bacteria is hiding and all that stuff.

That is. I think the word is post hoc rationalization. If you’re going to say that this bacteria is the cause, and the gold standard for finding the bacteria is a bacterial culture, and in something like 85% to 90% of the cultures, it’s negative, that cannot possibly be the cause. And I would say it doesn’t matter if you find the bacteria in the ticks, it doesn’t matter if you have antibodies, which you claim are specific to that bacteria, and you find those in certain of these patients, you can’t possibly say that, because the gold standard is finding the bacteria.

They drip everything they could to find it. They failed to find it. And that proves that there was no evidence for the bacterial causation of Lyme disease. That means that since you cannot differentiate it based on symptoms and there’s no bacterial cause, we don’t have a defined disease here, period. We have a collection of symptoms for unknown reason. We don’t even know if the symptoms are the same. And for those of you who’ve been listening to me over and over again, and maybe who watched our recent talk on going beyond diagnosis into the story, every one of those 56 patients has a different story, and there is no evidence of a borrelia infection as the factor that unites these people together.

I don’t know how else to say that. How much clearer anybody needs this to be. Then they go on to show pictures of the bacteria on electron microscopy, which means nothing. They already proved that it has nothing to do with the diagnosis. Okay, now let’s go on to the next paper. So what about babesiosis? Clinical Practice guidelines by Infectious Disease Society of America 2020 guideline on diagnosis and manage of babesia. Okay, we go down here, and how should it be diagnosed? And they say a whole lot of things, but at the end of the day, the most, the gold standard or the diagnosis of Babesiosis or infection with babesia parasite, which is a protozoa, is a peripheral blood smear.

So you have to have visual evidence of the protozoa infecting the red blood cells, and that’s the gold standard for the diagnosis of babesia. And then they go on to talk about all the antibiotics that they need to give you. They talk about. Antibody tests are not specific. PCR is not specific for obvious reasons, which we don’t need to go into. But I want to. I think this is it. Nope. Okay, so this is what I wanted to show. Open a new table. So in. In this paper, they whoop, wrong one. I’ll find it in a minute.

Yeah. Here we go. How should the diagnosis be confirmed? The bottom line is you got to see it in the blood. And again, I hope everybody has watched the talk we did with Daniel Roytus, or Daniel did on looking at slides of Babesia. There you go. That’s what you see, red blood cell. And then you see the parasite infecting the red blood cell. And that is the definitive diagnosis of babesia in the blood. And that’s from the official clinical guidelines for how to diagnose and determine that this person has a babesia infection. Okay, I know I’m fumbling around a little bit.

I’m gonna have to stop this share, and then I’m gonna have to do it again. I want to show you this. Okay, so this is the same image. I just figured out how to download it. So this is the light microscope picture of the parasite babesia, the protozoa infecting the red blood cell. So that is the definitive diagnosis. Now take a look at this. Yeah. Hopefully you can see them side by side. So like this, right? Red blood cell parasite. Red blood cell parasite and the different stages of it. And so here we have the diagnosis of babesia protozoa infecting the red blood cell.

Except truth be told, this picture on the left is not babesia at all. It’s a slide showing a malaria infection with a totally different organism. And then you see these 20 different images, which, like this, are allegedly the 20 different life cycle stages of the babesia or malaria organism. And I can clearly remember from medical school, looking at slides like this, and somehow I was supposed to say, this one is Babesia, this one is malaria, the one on the left, look at the fourth column to the right and number a on the, on the right slide.

And it was beyond me. It was beyond everybody. And. And that’s why you see in these papers the wording. And it takes a skilled microscopist to be able to distinguish the parasite of malaria from the parasite of babesia. Right? No kidding. In other words, somebody who’s used to making this up and bullshitting their way through this for some 20 years, and suddenly they can tell you that this is one and this one is a different one. And at the end of the day, these are not the life cycle of any organism. These are just typical stains of degenerating red blood cells, because something is wrong with the red blood cell.

Something has interfered with the integrity of the red blood cell, apparently. So it’s breaking down, gets picked up by the stain, and there is no babesia organism here. There is no malaria organism here. It’s just make believe. So that’s the end of that one. And now, final paper promotes the established Borrelia Borg Dorfia. I think this was just another paper, right? It was just. Same thing with the image. Yeah. So this was just the image. Okay, so now we know that there was no. There’s no way to distinguish the symptoms of Lyme disease from the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia and a whole lot of other things, which then would make sense of the fact that we used to have epidemics of chronic fatigue syndrome, and suddenly that was caused, they said, by reactivated herpes virus.

Somehow that’s all gone. The herpes virus decided to go somewhere else, and then we had fibromyalgia, and we couldn’t figure out what organism that one, so they had to get rid of that. And then we have a whole lot of other things, and then AIDS, and now we have Lyme disease. And each time they run out the same blueprint, the same party line. This is caused by an infection with this bacteria or this virus. And you look at the foundational evidence for these claims, and it’s literally laughable. If three out of 56, you can find the bacteria, the bacteria ain’t the cause.

And if you can’t tell that that’s a babesia organism infecting the red blood cell, and you can’t differentiate it from any of the other toxoplasmosis or malaria or any of the other protozoa, then you don’t have a babesia infection, and that cannot possibly be the cause. So now we have a situation where we have no clinical symptoms, we have no test, we have no gold standard. The antibody tests we’ve been over and over are nonspecific, so therefore useless. And if you can’t prove that the babesia are even there, that they’re even an actual organism that infects people, because at no point has an isolated borrelia or babesia been isolated and exposed to people, like through injection under the skin, and cause anything called Lyme disease, at no point has this been established.

So it’s just another make believe diagnosis. In the same way they create all the other epidemics, by hooking up all the different symptoms into one, and then when they make a supposed treatment for it, they then redifferentiate it and make it into the ten diseases that they were in the beginning, and that’s how you create and stop epidemics. Okay? So hopefully that’s clear. And again, I would say, if you want more information, I did another thing on Lyme disease, and the Baileys did, and I would absolutely take a look at the webinar we did a few weeks ago by Daniel Reutes on are parasites what we think they are? Now? Some people will then say, which always happens in these situations.

So, Tom, you cruel human being, are you saying these people aren’t sick? The other thing they may say. So are you saying this has nothing to do with tick bites? So let’s just be clear about that. First of all, just like so called Covid, or any other rheumatoid arthritis or AIDS, or any of these other so called diseases, what I’m saying is they are not specific, discrete diseases caused by what they are claimed to be caused by. In no way am I saying that there aren’t sick people, and no way am I saying your knee isn’t swollen, your foot doesn’t hurt, you’re not thinking properly, your brain is seems foggy, you’re tired, you don’t feel well.

Those are actually real experiences that people have. What I’m saying is there is no evidence that these symptoms, a, are a discrete disease called Lyme disease, b, they are caused by a borrelia spirochete, or the so called co infections like babesia. That’s what I’m saying. So then the next claim. Am I saying it has nothing to do with ticks and actually, no. Ticks have stuff like poisons that they may be able to inject in you. There’s some people who are trying to demonstrate that ticks even inject environmental toxins that they concentrate in their saliva, and they inject those in you, they may inject anticoagulants to help them suck out your blood.

There may. It’s not necessarily a good thing to be bitten or chewed on by ticks, so that may be a factor, and it may be a factor in some people. I will say there’s a lot of people who have identical symptoms and identical lab tests who have no memory of having a tick bite, and it’s likely that that never happened. So this is not a unique tick borne disease, although it’s certainly possible that having tick bites has something to do in some cases, with the cause or with making some people sick. Unfortunately, like everything in this world of conventional medicine, their blindness and their adherence to the germ theory, and the claim, which I would say has been deep disproven that the syndrome is a unique disease caused by a unique bacteria and parasite.

Because of their blind allegiance to those disproven claims, nobody is looking into, or maybe not nobody, but we don’t hear much about what actually ticks do inject in you, or what may be the other factors that make this sort of somewhat interesting constellation of symptoms in certain people happen, knowing that it’s not going to be the same in every person, that all illnesses are multifactorial. In other words, there’s many things that need to happen in order for somebody to get sick. There’s a lot of factors that need to be investigated, and the contents of tick bites may be one of them.

So that’s what I would say about that. So then, now we come to this speculation on my part. So what could be the cause of this type of constellation of symptoms, whatever you call it, Lyme disease or fibromyalgia. So we need to get rid of that word and just say, describe what the person is experiencing and what you see. Does their knee hurt? Is it swollen? Is their thinking more difficult than it used to be? Just stick with describing what you see. You don’t need to put a name or a label on it. All that does is throw you off.

So what could be the reason for this? And we go back again a, it’s different for every person. B there’s basically four reasons. One, injuries. You fall off a horse, so there may be an injury to your knee, and that may be why it settles. Your symptoms settle in your knee rather than your foot or your hand. So that’s one cause of illness. Another is starvation. And starvation means food and nutrients and minerals and love and shelter and warmth and purpose in life. If you’re starving for any of those things, you’re more susceptible to getting sick.

And so all those possible types of starvation need to be investigated and hopefully remediated. So number two is a big category, and then, of course, we have number three, which is probably the biggest category, which is your poisoned. And that could be something from a tick bite, it could be emfs, it could be glyphosate, which may be something in tick bites, it could be just the poison on your food, could be electromagnetic fields, it could be the way you think. It could be a lot of things. There’s myriad ways that people poison themselves. People are very creative about that.

And our society and culture as a whole is very creative in the way that we poison people, especially through injecting them with very specific and strong types of poisons. So that’s category number three. And category number four, which I also talk about a lot, is delusional thinking in this case. Again, it’s always sort of victim consciousness that you are a victim of your genetics and you got bit by a tick. You didn’t do anything. It’s not what you eat. It’s not how much booze you drink or cigarettes you smoke or pot you drink, you consume in order to not have to think about your life.

None of that matters. It’s just you are a victim of a tick, and that bit you. And so you’re never going out in the sun, in the woods again, because then you could die. And so you’re just. You have happened to have this certain mutation, and that’s what’s causing you to be sick. And all that comes under the category of delusional thinking. So, to reiterate, you could be injured, you could be starving in all the various ways. You could be poisoned in all the various ways, or you could have delusional thinking in all the various ways people delude themselves.

None of that, by the way, is amenable to imaging techniques to figure out what’s the matter with you or to a vaccine, which is just simply more poison and more delusion. So what would I do about it? Now? Here I want to be very cautious, because obviously, if there’s no one size fits all. In other words, if this is not a specific diagnosis that needs to be treated, I can’t possibly come up with, here’s how you treat Lyme disease, because then I would absolutely be falling into the same trap. And we don’t want to do that.

But I am going to say a little bit more than I usually say. And partly this comes because we just had a situation with our friend. Kelly Brogan gave a talk to the graduates of the new biology curriculum. What really struck me is she has come up with a very innovative program, I think, called the Vital Mind Reset, which she has published many case studies and case series in the peer reviewed medical literature, showing that people with all these various diagnoses, Lyme disease and fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and Hashimoto’s and rheumatoid and lupus, they get better when doing this vital mind reset program.

And in a sense, it’s very formulaic, in a sense. And so I thought, given that, that there is an argument for what are the general principles? So one option for people who, who think they have the symptoms or the category that would fit them into this Lyme disease or any of these other things would be to contact the new biology clinic and make an appointment with one of our practitioners. That would be the best, so that you can be, your story can be examined properly and find out which of these factors are work for you. But I do have some generic suggestions, which, with some peril I’m going to share with you today, because I’ve seen this work in my practice and with people who’ve contacted me, with those who think they have Lyme disease.

The other thing I’m going to say, and again, I must say, I stole this from, or I’m stealing this from Kelly and her vital mind reset program is when people do that program, it’s very strict. In other words, they’re meant to eat a ancestral type diet. And she outlines what that would look like. And, for example, no sugar. And you do that for something like 30 to 44 days or something like that. I don’t know exactly. And what I want to point out is, in that time, if you go to a wedding or something and eat some wedding cake, because why not? And you eat some sugar, that means you have to start over.

So this is serious business. In other words, you’re taking one month or six weeks to change your life because something isn’t working for you and how you’re living. This is a way for you to get out of this victim mentality, and to take responsibility for what’s happening with you, you’re going to own this program and do it. So, in that spirit, here’s what I would suggest and what I’ve seen actually help turn people around who come with the claim that they have this Lyme disease. So this would go for six weeks. Now. The first thing I would do, and there’s no negotiation about this.

This addresses the delusional part. As long as you are identifying as a Lyme patient, you cannot be a person who doesn’t have any of those issues ever again, which is where what we’re going for. Therefore, for these six weeks, you are not to say the word Lyme disease even once, in no context ever. If you say the words Lyme disease, even in I’m doing this to cure myself of Lyme disease, then you have to start the six weeks over. Why? Because what the words you say and how you communicate communicate something to your mind, to the totality of your being about what’s happening.

We are not treating Lyme disease. It doesn’t exist. The symptoms do not define it. There’s no infection that has been shown to cause it. So there, it has evaporated. It’s make believe, therefore, don’t give it voice. And I was very clear about people with this. Sometimes I said, three months, don’t mention the word. If somebody says it, that’s fine. You don’t have any control of that. Don’t say those words. And over time, it seems like that has. What’s the word? Like? Kind of evaporated it from their awareness. Because if you stop saying things, you eventually stop thinking things.

And if you stop thinking them, you’re no longer deluded by that thing. And then you don’t have that disease since you never had it in the first place. Six weeks, don’t say the word Lyme disease. Next thing. Strict ancestral, nourishing tradition. Diet. No sugar, no processed food. No kidding. Any slip ups on that, and you start over, you’re better off. If you can’t get good food, you just don’t eat that. This also communicates that we’re changing what’s happening here. Boddy, we’re serious. We’re taking this serious. We don’t want to live like this anymore. Like, let’s get with the program.

And then, because there’s this toxic component, I would suggest people doing the coffee enemas once or twice every day and probably adding some chlorine dioxide solution given in the general way, and we have protocols for that, because that also adds a certain charge. And I think that whatever is affecting you has degraded your ability to create this charge. And I think the chlorine dioxide solution will help with that. And so those are the three things that I would do strictly for six weeks. There’s also many other things. Working with movement is certainly good, and getting out in the sun and earthing and just examining everything about how you live and seeing if there’s things that just don’t fit in what you want for your life.

But if you really stick with those three things, and then you can talk that over with one of the practitioners at our clinic, I think you will go be well on your way to living a much healthier, better, more joyous life without this situation of so called Lyme disease. Okay, so I hope that clarifies it and I’ll be looking forward to your comments. And again, I don’t need to hear about how much you’re suffering. I already know that people are suffering tremendously. That’s not what the point is. The point is a what has led to this suffering? That’s the first key.

And then given that, how to get out of the suffering towards a more healthy, joyous, balanced life. Okay, as always, thanks for listening and hope to see you next week.
