Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Thanks, D.! Agree Dr. Jernigan is right on the money. Discovered him back in 2008 while researching Lyme. Ordered the paperback Beating Lyme Disease - Living the Good Life in Spite of Lyme from his practice, the Hansa Center in Wichita, Kansas. He's a chiropractic doctor whose approach to disease & healing makes a lot of sense to me. The book reading the website & email newsletters have proven very educational & valuable to me. His way of evaluating & remediating apply to any health problem, including parasites & Morgellons. http://hansacenter.com/ Listen to his latest interview here: http://hansacenter.com/lyme-interview.html Really like this guy! Best wishes, Sue bird mites , "D" <cerph1000@...> wrote: Here's an article which supports my feeling it affects our ability to think andbehave "properly"/functionally.D.Lyme toxins the primary cause of your symptoms!Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, April, 2007 by A.JerniganWhen considering toxins, it must be recognized that toxins arepoisonous substances that are irritating and sometimes permanentlydamaging to the tissues of the body. Toxins of any type must beavoided and eliminated at all costs. In this article, we will begoing exhaustively through the primary types of toxins that Iguarantee that you have: microbial toxins and environmental toxins.Microbial toxins, like the neurotoxins of Lyme disease, require adifferent and more targeted treatment approach than do the morecommon environmental toxins. Fifty percent of the health restorationevery Lyme sufferer seeks will come from effectively eliminating thetoxins and reducing the sources of the toxins, i.e., bacteria andtoxic lifestyle products. The other 50% of healing will revolvearound restoring structure and function and optimal coherence withinthe body, mind, and spirit.Research and clinical studies have determined that there are neuro-toxins released by the Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) spirochete[Klinghardt 2002]. Neurotoxins are nerve poisons. These toxins,according to research, are the cause of most, if not all, thesymptoms of Lyme disease. It is also believed that tissue damage isnot caused by Lyme bacteria directly; in other words, the bacteriaare not "eating" your tissues. It is the accumulation of Bb toxins inyour body that is most likely responsible for the symptomsexperienced by Lyme sufferers.In the scheme of facilitating healing in the body, mind, and spirit,toxins are poison in the body. In that the body, mind, and spirit areall interconnected and interdependent, if the body is poisoned, thenthe mind and spirit must necessarily be poisoned as well. Thesetoxins are a major interference to your body's ability to heal itself.An astonishing new finding was released by in ScienceNews (July 2003;164). reported that research performed by F. Prescott found that certain antibiotics, such as thefluoroquinolones, the class of antibiotics that includes the name-brands and generic brands of Levaquin[R], Cipro[R], Tequin[R], andAvelox[R], actually are known to trigger a type of virus calledbacteriophages (viruses that can infect bacteria) to change thegenetic sequencing of the bacteria, causing the bacterium they haveinfected to start producing toxins. These viruses can act as geneticdelivery vans, invading bacteria, such as spirochetes, often lyingdormant, until activated by a change in the host (your body's)environment. Once activated, these viruses insert their toxin-generating genes into the bacterial chromosomes. These viruses canturn basically harmless bacterium into killers through this geneticsequencing of toxins ( 2003).So now we see that not only are these toxins released throughbacteria die-off and not only can antibiotics actually increase theproduction of the toxins, but these viruses can cause the bacteria torupture, spilling their toxins into the body (Waldor 2004).When a doctor uses an antibiotic and kills some Lyme spirochetes,there is a resultant Jarish-Herxheimer (Herx) reaction--i.e., aworsening of the patient's symptoms in response to the increasedrelease of bacterial die-off toxins. The toxins are dumped into thebloodstream and circulated throughout the body, until they can eitherbe eliminated by the body or lodged in areas of weakened tissues. Asneurotoxins, they are preferentially taken up by nerve tissue. Theselodged toxins are one reason why symptoms can persist even after theactual Bb infection is gone, because the toxins can remain as anirritant in the tissues for years.In truth, a severe Herxheimer reaction is a sign of poor eliminationpathway drainage, poor organ support, and poor treatment by yourdoctor. The bodies of most chronic Lyme sufferers are toxic dumps tostart with, therefore, if a doctor does not get the pathways ofelimination open and working, the body grows even more toxic as thebacteria begin to die and their toxins dump. Many doctors think goodtreatment is indicated by the fact that you feel like crap, i.e.,worse than usual, which they feel confirms that they have selected aneffective antibiotic. Most of my chronically ill patients cannotafford to feel worse just from the treatment. The person with Lymedisease has already suffered enough; they don't need to go througha "herx" just to prove they have Lyme disease.One of the more popular herbal remedies on the market causes such asevere herx that it is advised that only one drop be taken. Becauseof my previous Lyme disease books, I have spoken to hundreds ofpeople from all over the world who have taken natural products and/orpharmaceuticals and now not only have their old symptoms but many newsymptoms as well. Remember, no matter what you decide to take,whether the resulting herx is a true bacterial die-off or is a directtoxic effect of the remedy/medication, these toxins must be givenjust as high a priority as the actual infection. Chronic Lymesufferers do not have adequate detoxification mechanisms to detoxifythese Bb toxins.I worked for many years, sifting through and trying many of theworld's finest detoxification products with mediocre results at best.While I was presenting research at the 1999 International Tick-BorneDiseases Conference in New York City, I took a break one day andwandered through Chinatown. In my wanderings, I found a Chineseherbal pharmacy. It had a huge assortment of exotic herbs andmedicines from China, all held in drawers that covered a long wallfrom floor to ceiling. Each drawer had three bins, each holdingsomething different. Since I was on a quest to find the elusivesolution to what would address the specific toxin of Lymespirochetes, it dawned on me to use Bio-Resonance Scanning[TM] (BRS,a real-time, non-computerized testing technique I developed) to testthese herbs to see if there was anything that would work. The BRStesting required only a few moments and resulted in four herbstesting as beneficial, out of the hundreds in the apothecary. TheChinese pharmacists were quite certain I was doing some sort of magicwith my BRS testing. I must have been a rare spectacle to them, sincemy six foot-seven-inch frame towered over them, and the BRS testingis not like any conventional testing. I think they were glad to handover the bags of herbs and be rid of me.Upon arriving home again, I prepared my herbs into a hydroalcoholicextract as I had been taught by the anthroposophical medical doctorsin Eckwalden, Germany. With great elation, I discovered that thefinal product tested out as highly beneficial for some of my Lymepatients who had previously hit a plateau in their healing. The newformula took these patients to another 25% improvement. I and theywere elated. It wasn't the end-all solution, but it definitely was astep in the right direction. Unfortunately, in their rush to be ridof me, the Chinese pharmacists, who spoke no English and had to lookup the Pinyin (the English derivation of the Chinese name for anherb) name for the herbs, must have written down the wrong names.When I called to order more of the herbs from another supplier ofChinese herbs, one who did speak English, the herbs I received werenot the same and would not work. Formula lost! Not to worry, in thosedays, no one knew what the exact Lyme neurotoxin was; it took me fivemore years to identify ammonia as the primary toxin, even though Icould detect the general frequency of the Lyme toxin with the BRSduring the days of the Chinese apothecary. This story is the realityof how I ultimately found better remedies for real people in myclinic.Today, I am convinced that the newest formulations, the NeuroAntitoxII formulas, are the most advanced Lyme-ammonia detoxificationproducts on the market. I once again identified the herbs in theseformulas using BRS. The herbs, Silphium and Pale Spike Lobelia, wereboth growing in my own pasture, and it was just my inborn curiosity,or more likely divine inspiration, that led me to pull up these herbsand carry them into the clinic to test them. Like all of thedifferent formulas I make, the primary herbs cannot be purchased fromany herbal supply house. I must grow, harvest, process, and bottlethem each year. And each formula is the result of striving to helpreal people (over 3,000 patients) in my clinic, after trying, withminimal results, all the big-name, heavily marketed, nutritionalsupplements. Direct Resonance testing, a clinical research technique,along with the Functional Acuity Contrast Test (FACT) seem to verifythat these formulas reach all the hidden reservoirs of ammonia in thebody, even crossing the blood-brain barrier, restoring integrity tothe body, mind, and spirit.It must be remembered, however, that symptoms will not completelydisappear just with the elimination of Lyme toxins, simply becausehealth and healing entails more than the absence of toxins. The toxin-damaged tissues must be restored, the diseased mindset must be resetto that of positive affirmative health, and the spirit must learn andlive the new insights gained during the illness.The FACT[TM] test is a very good test for detecting the presence ofneurotoxins in the brain. It is also known as a Visual Contrast Test(VCS). The FACT test has been successfully used in medical diagnosisand subclinical neurotoxicity detection. Produced by the StereoOptical Company, the test is simple to use and can be usedindefinitely without wearing out. If your doctor does not use thistest, let him know about it, because it is well-researched, and foronce, you can track your progress on a weekly basis if you so desire.As brain neurotoxin levels go down, your test should improve. Toperform the test, you simply hold the apparatus in front of you, asthe instructional sheet will indicate, and the degree to which youcan visually see certain images on a card determines the level ofneurotoxins.Reading about the many general body detoxification nutritional andbotanical supplements that are plentiful on the nutraceutical marketcan be confusing. These products are designed to be generaldetoxifiers of the liver and intestines. While these products are avery good idea for almost everyone, they are not designed to handleLyme neurotoxins, nor do many, if any, of these products actuallycross the blood-brain barrier to reach the ammonia in the brain.Lyme Leaky Brain SyndromeAlthough many people have heard of Leaky Bowel Syndrome (LBS), fewhave heard of (Lyme) Leaky Brain Syndrome (LLBS). I coined this termwhen I became aware of the damaging effects on the blood-brainbarrier (BBB) from the accumulation of Lyme-induced ammonia in thebrain. Ammonia in the brain is a primary cause of neurological andpsychological hypersensitivity. Ammonia alters the permeability ofthe BBB, enabling larger molecules, such as common amino acids, tocross. When these random molecules touch the brain tissues, they setup hypersensitivities, otherwise known as cerebral allergies. Thesymptoms of these cerebral allergies are unique and depend on whatpart of the brain is being affected. Ammonia-induced Leaky BrainSyndrome is one of the primary causes of multiple chemicalsensitivities, cognitive dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome, and amyriad of other chronic conditions.There are only a few ways ammonia can become a problem in the brain.Severe liver disease is a well-recognized producer of global orsystemic ammonia. No one knew, until I discovered quite unexpectedly,that Lyme spirochetes could cause ammonia to accumulate in localizedareas of the brain. I first became aware of brain-ammonia problemswhile treating a gentleman from England who came to me having beendiagnosed with Lyme disease (Neuroborreliosis). Quite surprisingly,my testing revealed Trypanosoma gambiense as his primary microbialchallenge. T. gambiense causes African Sleeping Sickness (ASS). Onlyafter subsequent study did I find that the symptoms of ASS are causedby the neurotoxic effects of ammonia produced in the brain by themicrobe. Interestingly, the man said that for years he had tolddoctors that it felt like someone was pouring ammonia over his brain.The severe debilitation this man was experiencing reminded me of somesymptoms reported by many of my extreme chronic fatigue,fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and Lyme patients. Subsequenttesting revealed that all these people had localized ammoniaaccumulations primarily in the brain, heart, liver, and gums causedby the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent inLyme disease.It would seem that Bb releases ammonia, which is converted toglutamine by way of the glutamine synthetase pathways, leading tolocalized swelling of astrocytes (brain cells). This ammonia-inducedglutamine accumulation may cause dysfunction of astrocytes, whichleads to impairment of vascular reactivity (other than through adecrease in arginine availability for nitrous oxide) and increasedproduction of nitric oxide (Toshiki 2000). It has been reported thatmany neurological problems are caused by either congenital oracquired hyper-ammonemia (Albrecht 1998).All ammonia-related pathological changes predispose these individualsto cerebral allergies, due to alterations in the blood brain barrier,and subsequently allow larger molecules, such as common dietary aminoacids, to pass through to the brain. Neurotransmitter receptors andfunction is impaired, resulting in possibly the most common symptom:altered brain energy metabolism, leading to cognitive braindysfunctions, i.e., the total fatigue of the mind when forced toread, talk, or think for extended periods.Direct Resonance Testing (DRT) was used to test for the presence ofammonia in the brain, heart, and liver of over 100 chronic-illnesspatients; all patients were positive for ammonia over these areas.Several other doctors have confirmed this finding using DRT. A DRTtest is based upon the fact that every bend, rotation, or atomic bondof a given molecular structure, such as NH3, has a certain resonantfrequency (Oschman 2000). When two substances with similar molecularfrequency come in close proximity to each other, they will tend tovibrate "sympathetically" through harmonic resonance ( and Cross1963, Sauer 1995).Weather-Related Worsening of SymptomsDepending upon the severity of infection and tissue environmentalissues, including pH, temperature, oxygen levels, emotional state,etc., the amount of ammonia could cause variable and cyclicalworsening of symptoms. Localized astrocyte swelling would beaggravated by changes in barometric pressure, because anyintracellular swelling is going to swell more when there is lessatmospheric pressure on it, as in the case of falling barometricpressure before a storm, thereby causing a worsening of symptoms.This variable worsening of symptoms is described in medical scienceby the term allodynia. Allodynia occurs when a pain signal doesn'treach the brain, and therefore pain is not felt by the person.Allodynia explains why the "old-timer" knows it is going to rainbefore the weatherman. The old-timer's knees may have mild swellingdue to arthritis, but the knees don't hurt until the barometricpressure falls, as is the case just before a thunderstorm. As thebarometric pressure falls, there is less pressure on the swelling inthe knees, allowing swollen tissues to swell even more. Increasedswelling causes the pain signals to be stronger, reaching the brainand therefore is experienced as true pain. It may help to think of aballoon. If you measure the diameter of a balloon in clear weather,it will be smaller than before a storm, because there is moreatmospheric pressure pushing in on all sides. Now, imagine the braincells (astrocytes) and other inflamed tissues becoming more swollenand inflamed with changes in barometric pressure. This samephenomenon can be seen many times when one goes to a higher altitude.For this reason, living or traveling in the mountains can aggravateLyme-related symptoms. A possible logical conclusion may be to moveto a lower altitude to relieve some of the symptoms while healing.Atmospheric-related worsening of symptoms, as seen with moon phasesand the onset storms, are a common complaint in Lyme sufferers.Understanding this can help preserve sanity, since it can be verydisconcerting to have a sudden worsening of your symptoms and wonderif the treatments have suddenly stopped working. Keep in mind as wellthat any time a symptom worsens even due to something like theweather, the tissues are being aggravated, and therefore the symptomsmay not clear up simply because the storm passes.For those who want to be proactive and avoid increased symptomsrelated to atmospheric/barometric changes, possible preventivemeasures may include purchasing a barometer that also shows thephases of the moon. With careful charting, you may notice that yoursymptoms generally get worse at a certain level of the barometricpressure. If you observe the barometer falling to that level, or hearthe weatherman saying the barometric pressure is falling, you willwant to begin increasing your systemic proteolytic enzymes, such asVitalzyme[TM] or Wobenzymmed[TM]. Both products are the safest anti-inflammatory remedies for people suffering with Lyme disease.Prescription corticosteroids and Non-Steroidal Anti-InflammatoryDrugs (NSAID) are contraindicated for anyone with Lyme and thereforeshould not be used. Another great product and the only product I knowthat has been developed to specifically address weather-related andchemical sensitivities is the German homeopathic remedy SolumUliginosum, which also comes as massage oil. Any good sports cream orointment rubbed into affected joints and muscles ahead of time mayalso help to avoid a worsening of your pain. Staying ahead of yoursymptoms in these situations helps keep you from literally taking twosteps forward and one step back and prolonging your completerecovery. And, obviously, the best way to combat any of the Lymesymptoms is to directly address the toxins (NeuroAntitox Formula II)and reduce the cause of the toxins, Lyme spirochetes.Dietary Worsening of Lyme SymptomsHigh-protein foods, such as grains and meat, contain an amino-acid(the breakdown unit of protein) called L-arginine. L-arginine infoods and as a nutritional supplement should not be taken in thepresence of ammonia. Research reveals that ammonia + arginine +manganese = increased nitric oxide (NO), up to 53% in astrocytes(brain cells), leading to increased brain swelling. When you increaselocalized brain swelling, the symptoms increase dramatically, and theperception of fatigue can escalate to critical. Armed with thisknowledge, health care professionals would be wise to instigate aprotein-poor diet for Lyme patients during treatment to minimizeaggravations from arginine. Another way in which diet can be used tocombat the effects of arginine is to eat foods high in the amino-acidL-Lysine, such as legumes, or one can easily purchase L-Lysine as anutritional supplement from a health food store.The mineral molybdenum, available in capsule form, can dramaticallyaid in the detoxification of the toxins caused by the dysfunction ofmultiple tissues in chronic illness. Molybdenum is very useful fordetoxifying the toxin aldehyde from the die-off of Candida-typeyeast. This is important to Lyme sufferers because aldehydes areconsidered neurotoxins, or nerve poisons. Aldehydes are also thetoxins responsible for the hangover experienced by drinking excessiveamounts of alcohol. I know of many Lyme patients who complain of thishung-over feeling without having drunk any alcohol. (However, it isour experience that molybdenum will not detoxify the specific Bbtoxin.) Even though Lyme sufferers should use molybdenum to get ridof the aldehyde toxins, they also need to drink plenty of purifiedwater to keep the everyday metabolic toxins flushed out of thetissues. Taking molybdenum will help slow the degeneration of tissuesand related symptoms from the toxic overload.Viral Worsening of Lyme Leaky Brain SyndromeThe Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that about 92% ofAmericans would test positive to having the antibodies to at leastsix strainsof Herpes viruses. This means that even without any Herpes symptoms,such as cold sores, canker sores, ulcers in the mouth and genitaltissues, you likely have these viruses. Lyme Disease researchers havefound that a common virus in chronic Lyme disease is the Human HerpesVirus-6 (HHV-6). The Herpes viruses, especially the Herpes simplex,synthesize or produce arginine-rich protein. Herpes viruses needarginine in order to continue replicating ( et al. 1981).Armed now with the knowledge that Lyme spirochetes increase ammoniaand mixing arginine with ammonia leads to increased brain swellingand energy deficits, addressing viruses becomes a very importantissue in healing from Lyme disease.Dietary supplementation with the amino-acid L-Lysine helps block theHerpes virus from replicating by several different mechanisms. L-Lysine limits the absorption of L-arginine in the gut; it promotesthe rapid, enzymatic breakdown of L-arginine; and it generallyantagonizes the growth-promoting actions of arginine on the Herpesviruses ( 1984).I developed the frequency-matched products Virogen[TM] and Microbojen[TM] to provide the body's crystalline matrix with the specificinformation necessary to facilitate the control and ultimatedestruction of viruses. Clinical experience suggests that a generalrecommendation would be to start out using L-Lysine (from foods or incapsule form) for four to six months and Virogen for two to threemonths, then switch to Microbojen for two to three months. Ideally,you will find a doctor to test you on all your nutritionalsupplements before implementing any protocol.Supplemental vitamin C (Ester-C) and/or high-dose intravenous vitaminC has been shown to be beneficial in many viral conditions. Myfavorite form of oral vitamin C is an advanced, highly bio-absorbableproduct called Beyond C[TM] by Longevity Products, Inc.pH Aggravations of Lyme AmmoniaAmmonia is very alkaline. Many doctors have been taught that mostsick people have acidic bodies. The reality is not that simple.People may be predominantly acidic and may also be extremely alkalinein the areas of ammonia accumulation. This is why many people worsenwhen they are given dietary recommendations such as fresh fruits andvegetables, which work to alkalinize the body. It appears thatalkalinizing these people is only aggravating the already over-alkaline ammonia regions of their body, the brain, heart, and liver.The ammonia conditions must be cleared before addressing the moreacidic regions of their body.The alkalinity of ammonia is also another reason why one must becareful when using magnets to heal. Before anyone knew about Lymeammonia, it was generally thought that using only the negativepolarity of a magnet over the body would be beneficial. It turns outthat this thinking is all wrong when ammonia is present. The negativepolarity will increase the alkalinity even more, creating moreproblems in those areas, since too much alkalinity is just as bad astoo much acidity. In the hands of a trained health care professional,4"x6"xl," ceramic, positive polarity magnets used for five minutesonly over these areas of ammonia can help counteract over-alkalinityin the tissues. Too much positive polarity over an area will causethe area to become acidic. Caution: Positive polarity should never beused near any type of cancerous tissue.ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) and Lyme AmmoniaI have found through DRT that every person suffering from ALS has notonly Lyme disease as its instigator; they all have globalaccumulations of ammonia. In other words, most people with typicalLyme disease have ammonia only in the liver, heart, brain, and gums;ALS sufferers have ammonia in every part of their bodies. In mostpeople with typical Lyme, the ammonia is converted virtuallyinstantly into nitric oxide in the extremities, muscles, and joints.In ALS, the conversion of ammonia into nitric oxide appears to beblocked by some unknown biochemical defect.The first time I tested a person with ALS, I was shocked to findglobal ammonia accumulations. Upon questioning, every ALS sufferer Ihave encountered has told me that when they perspire, they smellammonia. One woman said that when her husband with ALS would come outof their infra-red sauna at home, his towels would wreak of ammonia,but no other doctor had ever picked up on this fact.Another fascinating finding is that the muscle fasciculations of ALS--the worming, twitching of the individual muscle that leads to thenerve-ending dying--has been dramatically improved when the personsoaks in a bath with four ounces of NeuroAntitox II Formula. Thisfinding is remarkable in that if one could completely stop the musclefasciculations, the nerve-endings would not continue to die, and theALS would be brought to a halt. However, the reality is still thatthe cause of the lack of biochemical breakdown of ammonia must becorrected, the source of ammonia (Lyme spirochetes) must be broughtto controllable levels, and the tissues must be repaired. So far,the "cure" for ALS is still elusive, but the Lyme-ammonia connectionis a profound revelation. Good results are also being reported in ALSusing intravenous (IV) glutathione, peroxide drips, and IVphosphatidylcholine.RELATED ARTICLE: Aggravating Factors in Lyme Leaky Brain Syndrome andLyme Disease Symptoms* Weather conditions* Diet* Herpes viruses* pH balance* Smoking* Severe constipation* Eating a high-protein or a low-protein diet* Using medicines that increase blood ammonia levels, such asheparin, some diuretics (such as furosemide), acetazolamide, andvalproic acid* Using medicines that decrease ammonia levels, such as neomycin,tetracycline, diphenhydramine, isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine(Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate), heparin, and lactuloseRELATED ARTICLE: How to Test Yourself for AmmoniaRapid Testing for Ammonia:Direct Resonance Testing (DRT) for ammonia is a simple test that alay person, or health care practitioner can perform in one minute,for less than 20 cents. It is recommended that anyone with anychronic condition be tested in this way.To perform a DRT, you will need a vial or small bottle of pureammonia. A muscle strength challenge should be performed to identifya strong muscle, preferably using the deltoid muscle with thepatient's thumb pointing towards the feet. The muscle should "lock"and be strong immediately when challenged, without being spongy. Oncea good strong muscle has been identified, hold the vial of ammoniaover various areas of the brain, heart, liver, and teeth, testing tosee if the previously strong muscle goes weak when the ammonia isheld over any of these areas (Andreev et al. 1994). Due to thetemporary neuromuscular interference caused by the harmonic resonanceof ammonia in the vial with the ammonia present in the tissues, thestrong muscle will go weak (Adolf 1979, Frohlich 1978). The mosteffective treatment can be identified by adding the correctivesubstance, such as one of the NeuroAntitox Formulas[TM]. To determinethe best corrective substance, hold the vial of ammonia and theremedy over the same spot where the strong muscle went weak. If youhave found the proper corrective substance, the formerly weak muscletest now will go strong. You will likely find that general liver andintestinal detoxification supplements will do nothing to clear outammonia.COPYRIGHT 2007 The Townsend Letter GroupCOPYRIGHT 2007 Gale GroupThis article continues online at www.Townsendletter.com with Dr.Jernigan's "Realities of Antibiotics for Lyme Disease."

It is so encouraging to know that this type of research is being done. .... Judy Leaky Brain Syndrome Here's an article which supports my feeling it affects our ability to think and behave "properly"/functionally.D.Lyme toxins the primary cause of your symptoms!Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, April, 2007 by A.JerniganWhen considering toxins, it must be recognized that toxins arepoisonous substances that are irritating and sometimes permanentlydamaging to the tissues of the body.

Unfortunately, in their rush to be ridof me, the Chinese pharmacists, who spoke no English and had to lookup the Pinyin (the English derivation of the Chinese name for anherb) name for the herbs, must have written down the wrong names.When I called to order more of the herbs from another supplier ofChinese herbs, one who did speak English, the herbs I received werenot the same and would not work. Formula lost! Not to worry, in thosedays, no one knew what the exact Lyme neurotoxin was; it took me fivemore years to identify ammonia as the primary toxin, even though Icould detect the general frequency of the Lyme toxin with the BRSduring the days of the Chinese apothecary. This story is the realityof how I ultimately found better remedies for real people in myclinic.Today, I am convinced that the newest formulations, the NeuroAntitoxII formulas, are the most advanced Lyme-ammonia detoxificationproducts on the market. I once again identified the herbs in theseformulas using BRS. The herbs, Silphium and Pale Spike Lobelia, wereboth growing in my own pasture, and it was just my inborn curiosity,or more likely divine inspiration, that led me to pull up these herbsand carry them into the clinic to test them. Like all of thedifferent formulas I make, the primary herbs cannot be purchased fromany herbal supply house. I must grow, harvest, process, and bottlethem each year. And each formula is the result of striving to helpreal people (over 3,000 patients) in my clinic, after trying, withminimal results, all the big-name, heavily marketed, nutritionalsupplements. Direct Resonance testing, a clinical research technique,along with the Functional Acuity Contrast Test (FACT) seem to verifythat these formulas reach all the hidden reservoirs of ammonia in thebody, even crossing the blood-brain barrier, restoring integrity tothe body, mind, and spirit.It must be remembered, however, that symptoms will not completelydisappear just with the elimination of Lyme toxins, simply becausehealth and healing entails more than the absence of toxins. The toxin-damaged tissues must be restored, the diseased mindset must be resetto that of positive affirmative health, and the spirit must learn andlive the new insights gained during the illness.The FACT[TM] test is a very good test for detecting the presence ofneurotoxins in the brain. It is also known as a Visual Contrast Test(VCS). The FACT test has been successfully used in medical diagnosisand subclinical neurotoxicity detection. Produced by the StereoOptical Company, the test is simple to use and can be usedindefinitely without wearing out. If your doctor does not use thistest, let him know about it, because it is well-researched, and foronce, you can track your progress on a weekly basis if you so desire.As brain neurotoxin levels go down, your test should improve. Toperform the test, you simply hold the apparatus in front of you, asthe instructional sheet will indicate, and the degree to which youcan visually see certain images on a card determines the level ofneurotoxins.Reading about the many general body detoxification nutritional andbotanical supplements that are plentiful on the nutraceutical marketcan be confusing. These products are designed to be generaldetoxifiers of the liver and intestines. While these products are avery good idea for almost everyone, they are not designed to handleLyme neurotoxins, nor do many, if any, of these products actuallycross the blood-brain barrier to reach the ammonia in the brain.Lyme Leaky Brain SyndromeAlthough many people have heard of Leaky Bowel Syndrome (LBS), fewhave heard of (Lyme) Leaky Brain Syndrome (LLBS). I coined this termwhen I became aware of the damaging effects on the blood-brainbarrier (BBB) from the accumulation of Lyme-induced ammonia in thebrain. Ammonia in the brain is a primary cause of neurological andpsychological hypersensitivity. Ammonia alters the permeability ofthe BBB, enabling larger molecules, such as common amino acids, tocross. When these random molecules touch the brain tissues, they setup hypersensitivities, otherwise known as cerebral allergies. Thesymptoms of these cerebral allergies are unique and depend on whatpart of the brain is being affected. Ammonia-induced Leaky BrainSyndrome is one of the primary causes of multiple chemicalsensitivities, cognitive dysfunction, chronic fatigue syndrome, and amyriad of other chronic conditions.There are only a few ways ammonia can become a problem in the brain.Severe liver disease is a well-recognized producer of global orsystemic ammonia. No one knew, until I discovered quite unexpectedly,that Lyme spirochetes could cause ammonia to accumulate in localizedareas of the brain. I first became aware of brain-ammonia problemswhile treating a gentleman from England who came to me having beendiagnosed with Lyme disease (Neuroborreliosis). Quite surprisingly,my testing revealed Trypanosoma gambiense as his primary microbialchallenge. T. gambiense causes African Sleeping Sickness (ASS). Onlyafter subsequent study did I find that the symptoms of ASS are causedby the neurotoxic effects of ammonia produced in the brain by themicrobe. Interestingly, the man said that for years he had tolddoctors that it felt like someone was pouring ammonia over his brain.The severe debilitation this man was experiencing reminded me of somesymptoms reported by many of my extreme chronic fatigue,fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and Lyme patients. Subsequenttesting revealed that all these people had localized ammoniaaccumulations primarily in the brain, heart, liver, and gums causedby the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), the causative agent inLyme disease.It would seem that Bb releases ammonia, which is converted toglutamine by way of the glutamine synthetase pathways, leading tolocalized swelling of astrocytes (brain cells). This ammonia-inducedglutamine accumulation may cause dysfunction of astrocytes, whichleads to impairment of vascular reactivity (other than through adecrease in arginine availability for nitrous oxide) and increasedproduction of nitric oxide (Toshiki 2000). It has been reported thatmany neurological problems are caused by either congenital oracquired hyper-ammonemia (Albrecht 1998).All ammonia-related pathological changes predispose these individualsto cerebral allergies, due to alterations in the blood brain barrier,and subsequently allow larger molecules, such as common dietary aminoacids, to pass through to the brain. Neurotransmitter receptors andfunction is impaired, resulting in possibly the most common symptom:altered brain energy metabolism, leading to cognitive braindysfunctions, i.e., the total fatigue of the mind when forced toread, talk, or think for extended periods.Direct Resonance Testing (DRT) was used to test for the presence ofammonia in the brain, heart, and liver of over 100 chronic-illnesspatients; all patients were positive for ammonia over these areas.Several other doctors have confirmed this finding using DRT. A DRTtest is based upon the fact that every bend, rotation, or atomic bondof a given molecular structure, such as NH3, has a certain resonantfrequency (Oschman 2000). When two substances with similar molecularfrequency come in close proximity to each other, they will tend tovibrate "sympathetically" through harmonic resonance ( and Cross1963, Sauer 1995).Weather-Related Worsening of SymptomsDepending upon the severity of infection and tissue environmentalissues, including pH, temperature, oxygen levels, emotional state,etc., the amount of ammonia could cause variable and cyclicalworsening of symptoms. Localized astrocyte swelling would beaggravated by changes in barometric pressure, because anyintracellular swelling is going to swell more when there is lessatmospheric pressure on it, as in the case of falling barometricpressure before a storm, thereby causing a worsening of symptoms.This variable worsening of symptoms is described in medical scienceby the term allodynia. Allodynia occurs when a pain signal doesn'treach the brain, and therefore pain is not felt by the person.Allodynia explains why the "old-timer" knows it is going to rainbefore the weatherman. The old-timer's knees may have mild swellingdue to arthritis, but the knees don't hurt until the barometricpressure falls, as is the case just before a thunderstorm. As thebarometric pressure falls, there is less pressure on the swelling inthe knees, allowing swollen tissues to swell even more. Increasedswelling causes the pain signals to be stronger, reaching the brainand therefore is experienced as true pain. It may help to think of aballoon. If you measure the diameter of a balloon in clear weather,it will be smaller than before a storm, because there is moreatmospheric pressure pushing in on all sides. Now, imagine the braincells (astrocytes) and other inflamed tissues becoming more swollenand inflamed with changes in barometric pressure. This samephenomenon can be seen many times when one goes to a higher altitude.For this reason, living or traveling in the mountains can aggravateLyme-related symptoms. A possible logical conclusion may be to moveto a lower altitude to relieve some of the symptoms while healing.Atmospheric-related worsening of symptoms, as seen with moon phasesand the onset storms, are a common complaint in Lyme sufferers.Understanding this can help preserve sanity, since it can be verydisconcerting to have a sudden worsening of your symptoms and wonderif the treatments have suddenly stopped working. Keep in mind as wellthat any time a symptom worsens even due to something like theweather, the tissues are being aggravated, and therefore the symptomsmay not clear up simply because the storm passes.For those who want to be proactive and avoid increased symptomsrelated to atmospheric/barometric changes, possible preventivemeasures may include purchasing a barometer that also shows thephases of the moon. With careful charting, you may notice that yoursymptoms generally get worse at a certain level of the barometricpressure. If you observe the barometer falling to that level, or hearthe weatherman saying the barometric pressure is falling, you willwant to begin increasing your systemic proteolytic enzymes, such asVitalzyme[TM] or Wobenzymmed[TM]. Both products are the safest anti-inflammatory remedies for people suffering with Lyme disease.Prescription corticosteroids and Non-Steroidal Anti-InflammatoryDrugs (NSAID) are contraindicated for anyone with Lyme and thereforeshould not be used. Another great product and the only product I knowthat has been developed to specifically address weather-related andchemical sensitivities is the German homeopathic remedy SolumUliginosum, which also comes as massage oil. Any good sports cream orointment rubbed into affected joints and muscles ahead of time mayalso help to avoid a worsening of your pain. Staying ahead of yoursymptoms in these situations helps keep you from literally taking twosteps forward and one step back and prolonging your completerecovery. And, obviously, the best way to combat any of the Lymesymptoms is to directly address the toxins (NeuroAntitox Formula II)and reduce the cause of the toxins, Lyme spirochetes.Dietary Worsening of Lyme SymptomsHigh-protein foods, such as grains and meat, contain an amino-acid(the breakdown unit of protein) called L-arginine. L-arginine infoods and as a nutritional supplement should not be taken in thepresence of ammonia. Research reveals that ammonia + arginine +manganese = increased nitric oxide (NO), up to 53% in astrocytes(brain cells), leading to increased brain swelling. When you increaselocalized brain swelling, the symptoms increase dramatically, and theperception of fatigue can escalate to critical. Armed with thisknowledge, health care professionals would be wise to instigate aprotein-poor diet for Lyme patients during treatment to minimizeaggravations from arginine. Another way in which diet can be used tocombat the effects of arginine is to eat foods high in the amino-acidL-Lysine, such as legumes, or one can easily purchase L-Lysine as anutritional supplement from a health food store.The mineral molybdenum, available in capsule form, can dramaticallyaid in the detoxification of the toxins caused by the dysfunction ofmultiple tissues in chronic illness. Molybdenum is very useful fordetoxifying the toxin aldehyde from the die-off of Candida-typeyeast. This is important to Lyme sufferers because aldehydes areconsidered neurotoxins, or nerve poisons. Aldehydes are also thetoxins responsible for the hangover experienced by drinking excessiveamounts of alcohol. I know of many Lyme patients who complain of thishung-over feeling without having drunk any alcohol. (However, it isour experience that molybdenum will not detoxify the specific Bbtoxin.) Even though Lyme sufferers should use molybdenum to get ridof the aldehyde toxins, they also need to drink plenty of purifiedwater to keep the everyday metabolic toxins flushed out of thetissues. Taking molybdenum will help slow the degeneration of tissuesand related symptoms from the toxic overload.Viral Worsening of Lyme Leaky Brain SyndromeThe Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that about 92% ofAmericans would test positive to having the antibodies to at leastsix strainsof Herpes viruses. This means that even without any Herpes symptoms,such as cold sores, canker sores, ulcers in the mouth and genitaltissues, you likely have these viruses. Lyme Disease researchers havefound that a common virus in chronic Lyme disease is the Human HerpesVirus-6 (HHV-6). The Herpes viruses, especially the Herpes simplex,synthesize or produce arginine-rich protein. Herpes viruses needarginine in order to continue replicating ( et al. 1981).Armed now with the knowledge that Lyme spirochetes increase ammoniaand mixing arginine with ammonia leads to increased brain swellingand energy deficits, addressing viruses becomes a very importantissue in healing from Lyme disease.Dietary supplementation with the amino-acid L-Lysine helps block theHerpes virus from replicating by several different mechanisms. L-Lysine limits the absorption of L-arginine in the gut; it promotesthe rapid, enzymatic breakdown of L-arginine; and it generallyantagonizes the growth-promoting actions of arginine on the Herpesviruses ( 1984).I developed the frequency-matched products Virogen[TM] and Microbojen[TM] to provide the body's crystalline matrix with the specificinformation necessary to facilitate the control and ultimatedestruction of viruses. Clinical experience suggests that a generalrecommendation would be to start out using L-Lysine (from foods or incapsule form) for four to six months and Virogen for two to threemonths, then switch to Microbojen for two to three months. Ideally,you will find a doctor to test you on all your nutritionalsupplements before implementing any protocol.Supplemental vitamin C (Ester-C) and/or high-dose intravenous vitaminC has been shown to be beneficial in many viral conditions. Myfavorite form of oral vitamin C is an advanced, highly bio-absorbableproduct called Beyond C[TM] by Longevity Products, Inc.pH Aggravations of Lyme AmmoniaAmmonia is very alkaline. Many doctors have been taught that mostsick people have acidic bodies. The reality is not that simple.People may be predominantly acidic and may also be extremely alkalinein the areas of ammonia accumulation. This is why many people worsenwhen they are given dietary recommendations such as fresh fruits andvegetables, which work to alkalinize the body. It appears thatalkalinizing these people is only aggravating the already over-alkaline ammonia regions of their body, the brain, heart, and liver.The ammonia conditions must be cleared before addressing the moreacidic regions of their body.The alkalinity of ammonia is also another reason why one must becareful when using magnets to heal. Before anyone knew about Lymeammonia, it was generally thought that using only the negativepolarity of a magnet over the body would be beneficial. It turns outthat this thinking is all wrong when ammonia is present. The negativepolarity will increase the alkalinity even more, creating moreproblems in those areas, since too much alkalinity is just as bad astoo much acidity. In the hands of a trained health care professional,4"x6"xl," ceramic, positive polarity magnets used for five minutesonly over these areas of ammonia can help counteract over-alkalinityin the tissues. Too much positive polarity over an area will causethe area to become acidic. Caution: Positive polarity should never beused near any type of cancerous tissue.ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) and Lyme AmmoniaI have found through DRT that every person suffering from ALS has notonly Lyme disease as its instigator; they all have globalaccumulations of ammonia. In other words, most people with typicalLyme disease have ammonia only in the liver, heart, brain, and gums;ALS sufferers have ammonia in every part of their bodies. In mostpeople with typical Lyme, the ammonia is converted virtuallyinstantly into nitric oxide in the extremities, muscles, and joints.In ALS, the conversion of ammonia into nitric oxide appears to beblocked by some unknown biochemical defect.The first time I tested a person with ALS, I was shocked to findglobal ammonia accumulations. Upon questioning, every ALS sufferer Ihave encountered has told me that when they perspire, they smellammonia. One woman said that when her husband with ALS would come outof their infra-red sauna at home, his towels would wreak of ammonia,but no other doctor had ever picked up on this fact.Another fascinating finding is that the muscle fasciculations of ALS--the worming, twitching of the individual muscle that leads to thenerve-ending dying--has been dramatically improved when the personsoaks in a bath with four ounces of NeuroAntitox II Formula. Thisfinding is remarkable in that if one could completely stop the musclefasciculations, the nerve-endings would not continue to die, and theALS would be brought to a halt. However, the reality is still thatthe cause of the lack of biochemical breakdown of ammonia must becorrected, the source of ammonia (Lyme spirochetes) must be broughtto controllable levels, and the tissues must be repaired. So far,the "cure" for ALS is still elusive, but the Lyme-ammonia connectionis a profound revelation. Good results are also being reported in ALSusing intravenous (IV) glutathione, peroxide drips, and IVphosphatidylcholine.RELATED ARTICLE: Aggravating Factors in Lyme Leaky Brain Syndrome andLyme Disease Symptoms* Weather conditions* Diet* Herpes viruses* pH balance* Smoking* Severe constipation* Eating a high-protein or a low-protein diet* Using medicines that increase blood ammonia levels, such asheparin, some diuretics (such as furosemide), acetazolamide, andvalproic acid* Using medicines that decrease ammonia levels, such as neomycin,tetracycline, diphenhydramine, isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine(Nardil), and tranylcypromine (Parnate), heparin, and lactuloseRELATED ARTICLE: How to Test Yourself for AmmoniaRapid Testing for Ammonia:Direct Resonance Testing (DRT) for ammonia is a simple test that alay person, or health care practitioner can perform in one minute,for less than 20 cents. It is recommended that anyone with anychronic condition be tested in this way.To perform a DRT, you will need a vial or small bottle of pureammonia. A muscle strength challenge should be performed to identifya strong muscle, preferably using the deltoid muscle with thepatient's thumb pointing towards the feet. The muscle should "lock"and be strong immediately when challenged, without being spongy. Oncea good strong muscle has been identified, hold the vial of ammoniaover various areas of the brain, heart, liver, and teeth, testing tosee if the previously strong muscle goes weak when the ammonia isheld over any of these areas (Andreev et al. 1994). Due to thetemporary neuromuscular interference caused by the harmonic resonanceof ammonia in the vial with the ammonia present in the tissues, thestrong muscle will go weak (Adolf 1979, Frohlich 1978). The mosteffective treatment can be identified by adding the correctivesubstance, such as one of the NeuroAntitox Formulas[TM]. To determinethe best corrective substance, hold the vial of ammonia and theremedy over the same spot where the strong muscle went weak. If youhave found the proper corrective substance, the formerly weak muscletest now will go strong. You will likely find that general liver andintestinal detoxification supplements will do nothing to clear outammonia.COPYRIGHT 2007 The Townsend Letter GroupCOPYRIGHT 2007 Gale GroupThis article continues online at www.Townsendletter.com with Dr.Jernigan's "Realities of Antibiotics for Lyme Disease."
