(Public Health Alert Newspaper - by Dr. James Schaller, M.D. - Why Aggressive Lyme Treatment Can Fail: Focusing on the Bee and Ignoring the Stinger)



I have never been comfortable with failed care. You know what I mean. You do
an intake, get some lab testing done, you are given a diagnosis such as Lyme
disease, and then you take full and aggressive antibiotics for complete
trials. Yet they do not hit the home run you hoped for, and in fact at times
you
actually feel worse. At best, you improve partially and then hit a wall. Why?
How is it that the *cure* makes you sicker and leaves you far short of a
return to normal health?

Last month, we mentioned one reason for Lyme treatment failure--Babesia has
over 11 species that infect humans and our labs only test one or two. We have
also found that Bartonella has at least nine species that infect humans and
99% of our lab testing is fair and only tests for two. I will discuss this
more in an upcoming Bartonella textbook. Still another cause for Lyme
treatment
failure is exposure to indoor surface mold spore toxins found in 30% of USA
structures (per EPA).

These mold spore surface toxins highjack dozens of body chemicals and weaken
your ability to fight Lyme. Are your air ducts dusty? If you answered, *Yes*
this may be adding to your illness. Mycotoxins are almost entirely ignored,
and sometimes actually naively belittled in advanced Lyme medical care. In
this article, I would like to discuss biotoxins that are not from special
indoor molds, but from the Lyme bacteria itself. How often do you hear this
discussed as a problem in Lyme treatment? If it is discussed, is it merely in
the
context of **it might be good to take some cholestyramine to bind up some Lyme
biotoxins?** But when I listen to discussions about Lyme*s surface biotoxins
it is usually clear the reasoning is confused.

I would like to make this critical area of Lyme biotoxins and your ability
to remove them simple and understandable.

First, we should not be surprised that any organism has biotoxins because
the biological world is teeming with organisms that use toxic chemicals to
function and survive. In the animal kingdom snakes and skunks have killing or
annoying chemicals. Fish carry toxins in their barbs or their body. Insects
have
a wide range of toxic stingers and toxic inflammatory bites. Fungi and molds
have dozens of toxins that have absolutely no safe dose.

Finally, bacteria and viruses have many toxins that serve to undermine host
defenses and increase the damage of these infections. In this context, that
Lyme bacteria have toxins on its outer membrane should be no surprise. Lyme
has over two-dozen plasmids designed to defeat the attacks of the immune
system, so why not also have biotoxins to defeat the immune system and
undermine
the human body?

Simply, Lyme bacteria release more than bacteria debris when they die, they
also release highly specific chemicals that are designed to disrupt and
damage a mammal*s body. With each passing year, medicine and science learn
more
and more about the seriousness of biotoxins such as those made by Lyme
bacteria. Biological toxins like those found in Lyme bacteria have so many
ways to
harm your body, that it would take a small book to show how they harm humans
when released. Yet here are some brief examples.

Lyme biotoxins disrupt the fat cell system and if not removed cause a type
of obesity highly resistant to diet and exercise. The critical Leptin hormone
increases and creates a type of bloating, puffiness or abdominal distention
that is demoralizing to those trying to have a healthy weight.

Lyme biotoxins can disrupt VEGF that make and open capillaries throughout
the entire body. These biotoxins undermine VEGF function so your capillaries
ability to get oxygen to many types of tissues is impaired. A disrupted VEGF
system often leads to profound fatigue and body pains, particularly after
exercise or pushing yourself to perform a **full days work.**

Similarly, Lyme biotoxins can disrupt the manufacturing of erythropoietin, a
crucial chemical that produces red blood cells that carry oxygen to all our
body organs. Amazingly, the number of red blood cells does not control
erythropoietin levels, but instead it is regulated by low oxygen in your
tissues.

The body knows you can have *average* numbers of red blood cells, and still
have tissues starving for oxygen. That biotoxins can sometimes disrupt tissue
oxygenation is not unique, since other illnesses also cause this problem,
e.g., kidney or liver diseases, excessively thick blood, inflammation
chemicals, nutritional deficiencies, hypothyroidism, infections or cancers.

Lyme biotoxins also undermine the making of MSH (melanocyte-stimulating
hormone), which according to Dr. Cone*s definitive text has about fifteen
critical functions. It controls inflammation, so it is being used to treat
inflammation disorders like asthma and psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. It
helps
repair nerves and makes the natural pain system work normally.

Perhaps one reason some struggle with addictions is their MSH is abnormally
low—under 35-40. This super anti-inflammatory chemical is currently
manufactured all over the world for a wide range of illnesses. After passing
the
extensive FDA process it will eventually be available in the United
States—just
not soon.

Another chemical impacted by Lyme biotoxins with some similar abilities is
VIP (Vasoactive intestinal peptide). VIP is the topic of over 10,000 research
papers and is involved in dilating the heart*s blood vessels, promoting
breathing by bronchodilation and controlling the immune and hormone systems.
However, its role in the brain is the cause for great excitement. It can
undermine
brain tumors, improve brain blood flow, improve learning and memory, and
protect the brain.

The introductory article is only meant to show you sample ways Lyme
biotoxins can harm the human body. Do you wonder how effective your body is at
removing Lyme biotoxins? You can easily determine your unique genetic ability
to
remove Lyme*s specific biotoxins by ordering a special 5-part HLA inherited
gene marker test from LabCorp (test 012542), which is one of the largest labs
in
the United States.

This HLA test is not the HLA-DR4 test that is involved in aggressive Lyme
arthritis. It is also not the HLA-B27 that is found in people with ankylosing
spondylosis, various types of arthritis, and some people suffering from
psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease or other autoimmune disorders.

This 5-part HLA test is able to determine how well you can remove the
dangerous biotoxins of different organisms that live in the oceans, lakes,
forests,
and buildings. But for our purposes in Lyme disease treatment, we are
particularly interested in two patterns—the 15-6-51 or the 16-5-51 pattern. If
you
have these you will not be able to remove Lyme biotoxins.

So when you try to kill Lyme with antibiotics, antibiotic herbs, HBOT, or a
wide range of traditional or progressive means, you will release Lyme’s
surface biotoxins and they will pass throughout the body easily and disrupt
and
damage dozens of human body functions.

Simply, this Lyme poison has no natural body antidote for those who cannot
naturally remove it—it will simply stay in your body and damage gene
expression, hormones levels, protein function and cause dozens of other
injuries.
Consider it to be an eternal disruptive chemical poison able to easily pass
through water pores and cell membranes.

If you make the mistake of thinking you are still ill because of residual
Lyme, and try additional antibiotics at higher doses, you will release still
more biotoxins and they will damage your body. Therefore, no one should be
treated with antibiotics unless it is known how able they are at removing
Lyme*s
biotoxins.

You do not open a drum of industrial chemicals until you first know how well
the body is going to survive the exposure as you remove the top! For
children who fear lab testing, their HLA pattern can often be determined from
their
parents. If both parents do not have the Lyme problem gene, then none of
their children can have it.

Other HLA patterns exist which will cause Lyme toxins to be released slowly.
But they are outside the scope of this introduction.

Further, one often hears that the treatment for those who have biotoxin
damage is simply the use of cholestyramine, an old cholesterol medication with
broad biotoxins binding abilities. Unfortunately, in reality, by the time most
patients with the 15-6-51 pattern or the 16-5-51 pattern get to my office,
they have had these biotoxins disrupting many body systems and my
interventions
need to be equally as complete. The idea cholestyramine will reverse all
damage in a few months of aggressive use is profoundly simplistic.

Further, after these individuals are physically repaired from biotoxin
damage, they then require very tailored and carefully paced Lyme treatment
along
with treatment for their co-infections.

(The original Lyme biotoxins and HLA pattern work was done by Dr. Ritchie
Shoemaker. It has been replicated by a small number of clinicians who
understand this medical science.)

Thank you Seasprite,

That was a very good read and necessary.

sh

[hilly]

Seasprite..thanks for that.. but does he go on to say what the treatment is that does work ? Or can you only find it by going to see him ?? an impossible task for me anyway.
Hillyx

[Seasprite]

yeah, i'm alarmed he offers no alternative.

prayer? raw foods? reiki?

i'm baffled, and depressed.

Kritters,
I was astounded to read that too..never thought about it.

...Lyme biotoxins disrupt the fat cell system and if not removed cause a type

Now I know how come I don't lose weight no matter what I do. I always thought my hormone levels have changed after pregnancy. But if I think about it...my tic bite was 20 years ago and ever since then I gained weight for no reason. Well I'm not that overweighted but it still bugs me....

And I do have the bloated stomache too sometimes.....

Good to know where this comes from.
If we treat our Lyme will we get back to normal weight again?
You know what? that would be GREAT!

And thank you Seasprite....A++ information!

This doctor has a "free" intitial 5 minute consultation.

I was asking his what his medical background was to get
an idea of where he is coming from.

He said "I have written more books on tickborne illness than anyone in the history of man." (that's exactly what he said)

I asked about his medical background, (there is no info on that anywhere on his site!)

"Why do you want to know that?"

I said because I want to be an educated consumer.

He said somethign like that if you were educated you would know that information
is not necessary. I am self educated. I have written all these books.

I said I want to see your CV. He said "it's 15 pages long, it's proprietary information"

then he said "I can't help you" and he hung up on me.

Woah. Serious energy issues there!

His whole website says how wonderful and kind he is, but apparently only if you can go there pay his fees and meet him in person.
