LYME Disease Therapies
(Alternative)
(revised and updated 8/8/08 by Jack Baker)
Editor’s note: We
appreciate Jack Baker giving us an updated and revised version of his original
paper on Lyme disease and alternative medical approaches. Before you give up your body to the
experimental motif of conventional medicine you should read this. It may save you a truckload of pain and
unnecessary suffering.
First, before we get to the possible solution, it should be
established from the start that there is no perfect cure for Lyme (at least
none that is known by orthodox allopathic medicine), and that, for allopathic
medicine to be at all effective, it must be caught at the inception. It is very hard to diagnose and is much more
common than most people think. From
CNN:
Lyme disease is
more common than you think:
To understand
health officials' battle against the disease, take a look at the statistics.
More than 100,000 cases of Lyme disease have been reported since 1989,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and these
numbers are conservative and probably do not reflect the true number of cases.
Health officials have a difficult time counting the actual number of patients,
since Lyme
disease mimics other diseases, and people can go for years without a proper,
correct diagnosis.
What to look for if you're bitten by a tick:
CDC research
shows that the hallmark "bull's-eye" rash appears in 80 percent of
patients within days or weeks of being infected. Symptoms also include fatigue,
fever and stiffness.
If caught early,
doctors can successfully treat patients with a three- to four-week course of
antibiotics. Those who don't respond or those who do not get prompt and proper
treatment may develop late-stage symptoms, which include neurological
difficulties, heart problems and debilitating body pain. These symptoms are
much harder to treat.
"The new vaccine is a mixed bag,"
says Meed. "We still don't know how long the vaccine is good for, and it
ruins the ability to use a blood screening test to (identify) the
disease." Those who do get the vaccine, which is only effective in 75
percent of recipients, should not rule out Lyme if they do get ill, he advises.
"The remaining 25 percent are still at risk."

Yes, they are hard to treat.
And impossible to cure. I have
personally seen people who have finally discovered they are infected, perhaps years
after the initial tick bite, and noted the strange symptoms they manifest, many
that mimic other diseases. However,
even after correct diagnosis and treatment the prognosis with drugs is not
good: See:
The bacteria that
causes Lyme disease can live both inside and outside human cells. Massive doses
of antibiotics can kill the Lyme spirochetes outside cells, but not those
inside cells (1).
"Why
Lyme Disease Persists" by Dr. Mirkin
Also see:
Persistance or Relapse of Lyme Disease:
Lyme disease
represents a disorder of potentially chronic proportions, and relatively little
is known about the in vivo pharmacodynamic interactions of antimicrobial agents
with borreliae. So far, evidence-based drug regimens for the effective
treatment of Lyme disease have not been definitively established. Moreover, therapeutic
failures have been reported for almost every suitable antimicrobial agent
currently available. Resistance to treatment and a protracted course of the
disease, therefore, continue to pose problems for clinicians in the management
of patients suffering from chronic Lyme disease.
"Appropriate" or "Conventional"
Antibiotic Therapy
Does that
mean all is lost and hopeless?
No, it just means most people have to be at their wits end before
they will be open to anything unorthodox or alternative etc. Then of course
there is the political economic suppression of alternative therapies that
actually work. Here is one example as
it relates to cancer. There are many
others.
For some this is unthinkable and they would rather die than come
to distrust the safe and predictable world they think they live in. Strange as it sounds, some actually want to
be sick and to die. Every doctor knows
patients that really have a deep-seated death wish or a quilted wish for
punishment, attention, etc. But this is
not you because you have gotten this far and that means you are determined to
get well. That is what it takes.
Bear with me now; first,
what does not work?
The authors showed that
three months of antibiotics does not cure fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
syndrome or presumed Lyme disease. However, people who have reactive
arthritis must be treated for longer than three months, often for more than a
year. We still do not know what chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia really
are. Long term treatment with antibiotics is controversial and not accepted by
most doctors; discuss your particular situation with your doctor.

(Actually, they do know the causes but they may be too manifold
and diverse, e.g. a combination of toxins and pathogens. I would recommend reading the full article
on Lyme disease by Dr. Gabe Mirkin):J You may notice that the full regime of drugs
and their side effects do little to “cure” the condition. Sometimes the treatment can be worse than
the disease.
They
limitations of allopathic, drug-based medicine are obvious. There are alternatives! From my own experience and knowledge I know
that the proper application of “rife frequencies” can
and does provide great relief and possibly a full recovery not only from Lyme
disease, but many, many other pathogens from parasites and
bacteria to viruses. I have
been privy to demonstrations of the efficacy of properly applied rife therapy
and witnessed the almost miraculous effects and eventual recoveries. There is an unmistakable experience that most
lyme sufferers have when they first encounter a true rife treatment. There is first a sudden Herxheimer or
kill-off effect that tells them something is being accomplished in their body.
As the pathogens are killed off, the blood is flooded with the debris of their
breakdown. Correctly administered, this
kill off effect is brief and painless, with only a feeling of fatigue which
goes away quickly depending on the person and their health. Incidentally, this
is the main reason one should always follow the correct protocols when dealing
with any serious disease like Lyme. In
Dr. Rife;s original clinical trials, he was very careful to limit the treatment
cycle to allow the body to eliminate all the breakdown toxins and poisons from
the destroyed germs. An example from
Dr. Rife’s work with cancer patients, from a paper by Gary Wade, Physicist:
Let us first deal with cancer. If
cancer is suspected it is important not to kill off a tumor too quickly. If large
amounts of tumor are killed off, you now have a bacterial feeding ground which
can lead to toxemia which can lead to kidney and liver failure. So, if the
suspected cancer you have is susceptible to specific frequencies of ultrasound,
as the great majority of cancers were in Dr. Royal Raymond Rife's time, you
should consider perhaps one treatment cycle every two or three days giving the
body adequate time to deal with the kill off.
(One device, like the Gary Wade machine on this host website, is almost idiot proof in its simplicity and
ease of use even though it is incredibly effective.)
Since the therapy is not allowed (at least not approved by the
almighty FDA) in the USA, I cannot endorse it even though I know it works. But, fortunately, the world’s greatest
proponent and expert on rife therapies has his papers on this web site for you
to read. And, he makes the best and the
least expensive unit (my opinion), that can be built and used under the USA law
for experimental purposes under certain conditions. I have personally seen it work on Lyme very effectively, but that
is just my word and it might have been a fluke or even another misdiagnosed disease. There are few clinical studies for obvious
reasons, but the science speaks for
itself if you think a little. See at:
What else might you try?
Many of these approaches are synergistic, in that they can be used
together. This is in contradistinction
to allopthatic medicine, where drugs and other orthodox approaches can conflict
heavily with any alternative therapies, e.g. herbs, homeopathy, etc.
Well, there is a good case for using sauna or steam therapy
combined with activated oxygen (ozone therapy). Again, if you are new to this, you have a lot of catching up to
do. However, it will be worth it. Most laymen are familiar with hyperbaric
oxygen. Not so well known is the fact
that it is used to treat the infamous flesh eating disease that resists
all antibiotics more and more. You can study up on oxygen therapies in
general by going to:
In particular, if you are familiar with ozone therapies you might want to jump
right to the essential information.
Here, a careful reading will yield tremendous practical data on Lyme and
many other problems like MCS,
CFS, Fibromyalgia, etc. More and more doctors are
becoming aware of the tried and tested therapies for treating these similar
maladies successfully. See:
I have experience with ozone treatments both with myself and
others. It has been clinically used and studied for well over 50 years in
Germany and is being used in Russia, Mexico and even Cuba, although you might
be better off getting your own equipment and treating yourself. It is far cheaper and just as effective in
many cases. Unlike rife therapy which has been almost totally suppressed by the
vested interests (read large pharmaceutical companies, etc.) over the years,
ozone therapy offers literally thousands of controlled studies and clinical
data up the Kazoo. If that is what you
need to get started great. I would say
rife therapy is better, but there is little clinical proof and no double blind
studies to my knowledge. It is
dangerous to the established power structures and elites. See:
Short essay by physicist Gary Wade:
Brief explanation of how rife works:
Lately, there is a movement afoot to take more of our
self-reliance away as they have all over Europe and in Australia through a
treaty known as Codex Alimentarious. Canada
has been under attack. We are next.
The term Codex will become very important to all of us in the not
to distant future, as their plans are to control us even further with the
endorsement of the United Nations. If
they get their way, vitamins will be prescribed and not legal in any
quantity that might be effective.
To understand the true significance of this, in case you do not already,
see the article on Vitamin C by Gary Wade. At:
This will rock your world.
Vitamin C therapy has been suppressed for a century and all the clinical
data be damned. Yes, we have a
wonderful Constitution and Bill of Rights in the USA. Maybe someday we will be fortunate enough to actually be able to
live under it. Functionally, it is dead
and only window dressing. The
politicians have sold us out. Before long, no school child will ever see a copy
of this marvelous document, let alone read it! It has been by-passed by
Treaties, Appointed bureaucrats, illegal agencies, sneaky riders attached to
Bills, etc. etc. and will be replaced by the UN version which is available to
read if you want to. Pray. In the meantime, you are still
free to read and experiment. Ofcourse,
this is just my opinion. Freedom; Use
it or lose it! Best.
