Localized Ammonia Production by Lyme Spirochetes

By A. Jernigan, D.C.

Using " Direct Resonance Testing " to test for the presence of ammonia

in the brain and other tissues of 50 chronic Lyme patients; all

patients were positive for ammonia over some area of their brain.

Several other doctors have confirmed this finding. A direct resonance

test functions based upon the fact that every bend, rotation, or

atomic bond of a given molecular structure, such as NH3, has a

certain resonant frequency. When two substances similar molecular

frequency come in close proximity to each other they will tend to

vibrate " sympathetically " through harmonic resonance.

This is a simple test that can help screen Lyme patients for the

presence of ammonia in various regions of the brain. I have found

virtually every Lyme patient tests positive to having ammonia in

specific locations of the brain.

It is possible that at least one of the potentially many types of

neurotoxins produced by Borrelia burg. is ammonia. I postulate that

the various and many neurological symptoms seen in LD are the result

of small amounts of ammonia affecting localized areas of the brain,

as opposed to the brain swelling due to liver problems, which affects

the astrocytes of the entire brain.

The way I see it is that Bb release NH3, which is converted to

glutamine, by way of the glutamine synthetase pathways, leading to

localized swelling of astrocytes. Depending upon the severity of

infection and tissue environmental issues, including pH, temperature,

oxygen levels, emotional state… the amount of ammonia could cause

variable and cyclical worsening of symptoms.

Localized astrocyte swelling would be aggravated by changes in

barometric pressure, due to the fact that any intracellular swelling

is going to swell more when there is less atmospheric pressure on it,

as in the case of falling barometric pressure before a storm, thereby

causing a worsening of symptoms. Weather-related worsening as seen

with moon phases and prior to storms are a common complaint in LD.

All of the ammonia-related pathological changes predispose these

individuals to cerebral allergies, due to alterations in the blood

brain barrier, subsequently allowing larger molecules to pass through

to the brain. Neurotransmitter receptors and function is impaired and

possibly

the most common symptom – altered brain energy metabolism leading to

cognitive brain dysfunctions, the total fatigue of the mind when

forced to read, talk, or think for extended periods.

The Bb in joints and musculoskeletal tissues may be creating symptoms

due to the conversion of NH3 to nitric oxide (NO), which is well

documented as causing multiple pathological processes, including

sepsis, hyperactive inflammatory processes, and joint pain. Direct

resonance testing has revealed that the liver and heart are often

testing positive to accumulations of NH3, which is not being

converted into urea or nitric oxide.

Lyme-ammonia encephalopathy may explain why Cholestyramine, an

ammonia sponge of sorts, provides some relief in LD. However, in that

ammonia is only a byproduct of Bb, we can hope for symptom relief

only, by using ammonia-clearing products. This is perfectly fine

since many LD patients cannot tolerate the herx of the increased

toxic dump experienced when Bb are killed.

A possible treatment would follow that of Trypanosoma gambiense,

another producer of ammonia in the brain. Eflornithine

(Difluoromethyl-ornithine- DFMO) was considered a " Resurrection Drug "

although it was subsequently dropped from production due to poor

economic value, in that most of the people needing it were poor

Africans suffering from Sleeping Sickness, which is not too far

removed from the fatigue and sleep disorders of chronic LD.

Since DFMO is no longer on the market, I have been using several

supplements. L-Ornithine, a simple amino-acid. Ornithine degradation

provides glutamate for ammonia detoxification into urea, which can

then be excreted via the kidneys. The best ammonia-clearing product I

have

been able to come up with is a combination of chlorella, molybdenum,

beta-sitosterol, and silphium laciniatum. I have researched and

developed two novel use botanicals, silphium laciniatum and Pale-

Spike Lobelia Extract. The silphium is used in a frequency-matched

formulas called the " Neuro Antitox Formulas, " which have been

targeted to the specific areas of the body being most affected by the

neurotoxins. The Pale-Spike Lobelia extract is a single ingredient

that is highly synergistic with the NeuroAntitox Formulas. The

changes we have seen in LD patients via FACT testing (Functional

Acuity Contrast Test), sometimes called a Visual Contrast Sensitivity

Test, are remarkable. The FACT test is admissible in a court of law

to verify the level of neurotoxin interference in brain tissue. It

takes only 5-10 minutes and can be performed by the doctor's staff.

With the NeuroAntitox we have been able to demonstrate consistent

improvement of FACT scores, within a week of oral supplementation.

Improvement continues almost universally on repeat weekly testing.

Symptomatic relief follows the detoxification of neurotoxins, such as

ammonia and heavy metals. It is suspicioned by this author, that

there is a life-sustaining synergy between the ammonia and the Lyme

spirochetes. This suspicion is due to the fact of the more rapid than

usual clearing of Lyme spirochetes from detection via resonance

testing.

Once the ammonia levels are cleared and the Bb microbes are reduced,

supplemental L-arginine can be taken in the morning to " wake up " or

energize the brain. (L-arginine should not be taken in the presence

of ammonia. Research reveals that NH3 + arginine and manganese

increases nitric oxide (NO) up to 53% in astrocytes, leading to

increased brain swelling). Armed with this knowledge, health care

professionals would be wise to instigate a protein poor diet for Lyme

patients, during treatment to minimize aggravations from arginine.

The " Direct Resonance Testing, " molecular vibration phenomenon is not

theory. Complex molecules may contain thousands or even millions of

atoms. How they bind together creates an electromagnetic " signature, "

which is extremely precise and specific to the type of molecule. It

is this molecular resonance that enables a doctor to perform a

simple, quick test to determine the presence of ammonia in the brain

or any other tissue. The same can be done as a quick screen for Bb,

using a fixed Bb specimen.

To perform a direct resonance test the doctor will need a vial of

pure ammonia. A muscle strength challenge should be performed to

identify a strong muscle, preferably using the deltoid muscle with

the patient's thumb pointing towards the feet. The muscle

should " lock " immediately when challenged, without being spongy. Once

a good strong muscle has

been identified, hold the vial of ammonia over various areas of the

brain, testing to see if the previously strong muscle goes weak when

the ammonia is held over any area. Due to the temporary neuromuscular

interference caused by the harmonic resonance of ammonia in the vial

with the ammonia present in the brain, the strong muscle will go

weak. The best effective treatment can be identified by adding the

corrective substance, be it the liquid botanical supplement, Pale-

Spike Lobelia, the encapsulated NeuroAntitox Formulas (Jernigan

Nutraceuticals) or prescription Cholestyramine. To determine the best

corrective substance hold the vial of ammonia and a corrective

substance over the same spot where the strong muscle went weak. If

you have found the proper corrective substance the former weak muscle

test now will go strong.

In summary, I know of no other testing method that provides such

immediate confirmation of localized NH3 as the Direct Resonance Test.

Localized ammonia is present in virtually every chronic LD patient,

either from the spirochete or other indirect mechanism. We have found

ammonia wherever Lyme spirochetes reside in the body, but primarily

over the liver, heart, teeth, and cranium.

a,

Thanks for the very interesting article! I'd seen it and was trying to find it.

The FACT test sounds like the test on Dr. Shoemaker' site for Neurotoxins. It

can be taken on-line too.

I had a friend with late stage Hepatitis C. One day, she was wandering in her

driveway, very disoriented. Her doctor said it was Ammonia in her

brain...typical of late stage...I assume that was " Hepatic Encephalopathy " . I

sure wish I'd know about this then, becasue she is one of several special

friends I lost this year. But much more was involved with the Hep C at that

point.

Since the Lyme doctor says Ammonia is everywhere the bugs are, I wonder if

different causes of Ammonia show it in different specific areas? Like the

Lactate spikes in my brain.

Or does Ammonia just gravitate to same, or random places? Also, does it stay in

same areas?

That's pretty cool to have some more treatments for it...do you gather they will

work, no matter the cause? I am taking 2 on the list. Yippee!

But again, about the Arginine...we have to check that one carefully becasue of

Herpes Virus connection (in literature).

My CFIDS Diagnosing doctor in 1990 wrote my onset date as one he considered a

Herpes viral flare-up that took me to the ER. It was right after I took a big

dose of an Arginine product for a week or so. Don't know what was for sure, but

that was a pretty big co-incidence.

Do you know anyone who has tried this formula?

I have not looked at all of the Brain Ammonia pages, but Hulda , of all

people had some interesting things to say. (hope I'm remembering that right).

What exactlyis Direct Resonance Testing? Not the muscle testing?

Is it MRI?

Yeah, but it sounds just like the woowoo stuff my doc does. I am a scientific

person, but what I care about more than understanding a thing is whether it

works. I call it " woowoo, " but it really has helped me. And my doc, as I

mentioned many times treated me totally free on a weekly basis for many years

and barely marked up anything he sold me, most of which I can check-or buy-

online.

Katrina, and all,

I have no idea if the test this man uses is worth doing, nor do I

know if his treatments clear ammonia. For those who play chess - we

know to always go for the king, not the pawns. In this case the king

is borrelia infection. If you can treat the borrelia you won't have

excess ammonia in your brain.

Katrina, I also just lost a dear friend to liver failure. She

certainly had high ammonia levels in her brain and hallucinated when

at her worst.

I've been doing some reading to see if there is a link between

lowering ammonia levels and sports drinks. When atheletes overdo they

tend to shed ammonia in their sweat. I would be interested if anyone

has some clues about what sports drinks would do. This may be another

clue as to why Recuperation is so helpful for some patients.

I found it interesting that Questran can clear ammonia. A lot of us

have had good success with Questran - not a cure but felt better and

had better vision.

Yes, I look at the pawns sometimes to just because that darn King

Borrelia is so hard to beat.

Sometimes it works to knock down the line of pawns first. Sometimes,

too, going around the corner with the knight makes things more

interesting in a surprise attack. Never discount alternative methods

of achieving a desired result.

This is doodoo not woowoo:

"

To determine the best

corrective substance hold the vial of ammonia and a corrective

substance over the same spot where the strong muscle went weak. If

you have found the proper corrective substance the former weak muscle

test now will go strong.

Hi Bob,

Even tho this type of testing might be doodoo,woowoo, maybe the treatments are

still relevant? People sometimes arrive at other good ones by various strange

measures.

ANd the Orthanine (?) and Cholest.... are mentioned other places for Ammonia and

Neurotoxins.

Can't spell..maybe it's time for a walk on the beach and a Starbuck's Mocha

Frappacino.

Prove that!

The history of science is full of valid discoveries arrived at by

sendipity. This isn't one of them.

Assume that the first part of this bilge - the " resonance testing " -

worked. I don't believe it for an instant, but for the sake of

argument we can make that assumption. Ammonia is a strong alkaline,

and would thus be neutralized by battery acid, so under this

assumpion, the second test might well produce stronger muscle

strength. Does that mean we should consume battery acid? I don't

think so.

I hope you enjoy your walk and frappacino.

Belief prior to investigation can be bad too.

I can't prove to 100% certainty that this is bunk, but:

A search of pubmed

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/en<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/cubby.fcgi>

trez/cubby.fcgi <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/cubby.fcgi> for " Direct

Resonance Testing " showed no hits whatsoever on the phrase. A google search

on " Direct Resonance Testing " found 29 hits. None of them offered any proof

of the concept at all. Some of them led to letters to medical journals by

practitioners who claimed to have diagnosed infection or toxicity by

applying " Direct Resonance Testing " to photographs appearing in articles in

the Journals!

I am glad you have gottn help from your friend. But the science behind this

specific technique has yet to be proven anywhere, IMO.
