It’s called by many names:  EMF Electromagnetic Fields, EMR Electromagnetic Radiation, Electrosensitivity, Electrosmog…it doesn’t matter what you call it- we are all exposed, and while not everyone experiences symptoms, Everyone is affected.

 

We are subject to natural radiation all day long, both indoor and out.  The sun is our most important natural source of radiation, i.e. sunlight.  We are use to it and most of it is harmless but not all radiation is safe or beneficial.

 Most of what I have learned has come from my patients.  Being in the trenches everyday challenges practitioners to continue to learn and grow in their understanding of what makes us sick and how we get well.

It is no different with wireless technology and its potential health hazards. It began about 10 years ago when I met my first patient who told me they lived in a home without electricity, used carbon based paint and other shielding on their walls, dressed in protective clothing, and rarely  ventured outside of their home.  I admit, I first thought this person may need a therapist more than a functional medicine practitioner. But the stories grew and the patients spoke of unexplained and idiopathic symptoms such as:

  • arrhythmias,
  • ringing in the ears,
  • depression 
  • pain in the teeth,
  • burning,
  • itching, swelling, rashes, night sweats, pain or burning in the eyes and many sensitivities especially light and sound.

At around the same time, my mentor, Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., Ph.D began speaking out about electro-magnetic radiation and reminded us how the brain is a gland (biochemistry) and a bio-computer (electricity) and that a healthy brain has normal levels of hormones, neuro-peptides and nutrients, as well as normal electrical activity, normal blood inflow and outflow and lymphatic drainage in all of its parts.  The brain also has has a blood brain barrier.   In 2008, at the "Healing  the Brain" conference, Dr. Klinghardt presented the cause of most current chronic states of illness were due to sub-threshold infections (such as mold, borrelia, chlamydia, herpes, Epstein Barr, etc) which grow in a disturbed or polluted environment. In one research experiment a mold culture was exposed to EMR (electrical magnetic radiation) while the other was not. The one exposed to EMR had 600 times more toxic biotoxins and its growth rate was dozens of times faster.  For patients dealing with mold toxicity, it has become essential to do home hygiene and address wireless technology.  It appears EMF may not only harm our body’s cells but it may also be impacting the microbes within each of us. This bioaccumulation of  xenobiotics, heavy metals and microbial biotoxins.  has a correlation with the expanded use of cell phone radiation and other sources of EMR.  Research shows the microbes perceive these wireless frequencies as a threat or attack and respond with an increased output of biotoxins and increased virulence of their toxins.   In 2010, at the conference on Autism held by the Klinghardt Academy of Neurobiology, Dr. Klinghardt addressed electrosmog and autism.   There has been a 60-fold increase in ASD Autism Spectrum Disorders in recent years, which cannot be accounted for by improvements in diagnostic methods and can only be explained by changes in the environment.  The increase corresponds in time to the proliferation of mobile telecommunications, WiFi, and microwave ovens as well as extremely low frequency fields from household wiring and domestic appliances.   Dr. Klinghardt taught how the effects of electromagnetic radiation impact the unborn child and focused on two parameters:   1.  The sleeping location of the pregnant mom-to-be,  and 2.  The sleeping location of the infant after birth   When Dr, klinghardt began treating autistic children he noticed what was missing in the conventional approach was a complete lack of understanding how electromagnetic fields may be contributing.   Dr. Klinghardt did a pilot study where they went back to where the Mom was sleeping when they were pregnant with their now diagnosed autistic child and found the average exposure of an autistic child to a non-autistic child was 20 fold higher of the combination of low frequency EMF (from household currents) and the exposure to microwave from incoming cell phone radiation was difference of 20 to 1.       The body acts like an antennae for ambient electric fields and builds up electric tension against the ground. Since our neurons operate at voltages between 80 and 120 milliVolt (mV), the threshold at which artificially induced body voltage interferes with our normal physiology is at a level at or about 80 mV.  The higher the body voltage, the worse damage to the developing neuronal networks, to cell signaling mechanisms, the epi-genome, the cell membrane and interruption or stimulation of cell signaling molecules and damage to the DNA itself.   Microwave exposure of the infant after birth.  Anything  over 1 microWatt/square meter in the sleeping location is expected to cause biological, immunological, physiological and neurological consequences.  The higher, the more devastating.  Known biomedical effects include:

  • Decrease in pineal function with decreased melatonin production (insomnia, lowered immune status)
  • Opens blood-brain Barrier
  • Autism and other neuro-developmental disorders in exposed infants
  • Increased leukemia and cancer rates
  • Brian fog, fatigue, short term memory loss
  • Synergistic effect with all other types of radiation
  • Disturbs all known intrinsic rhythms(EEG, Heart rate variability, breathing pattern,
  • 24 hour meridian activity
  • Bowel movements
  • Detoxification
  • Synergistic effect with other fields, increases mold growth and mycotoxin production in homes
  • Lowered immune status (decreased IL-10, increased IL-1, IL-6, decreased NK cell activity

 

How may EMR be affecting our physiology?

We have Dr. Martin Pall to thank for his pioneering research in this area.  He is professor emeritus of Washington State University, trained in physics, biochemistry from Johns Hopkins University and California Institute of Technology.  Dr. Poll’s research show that EMR’s work by activating what are called "voltage-gated calcium channels."  These are channels in the outer membrane of the cell which detect electrical changes across the plasma membrane and open the channel.  Because of the structure of the voltage sensor and its location in the plasma membrane it’s extraordinarily sensitive to the electrical forces from EMF’s.  The forces are approximately 7.2 million times stronger on the voltage sensor than they are on single charged electrical groups.  When  they are activated they open up and allow calcium to flow into the cell.  It’s the excess calcium in the cell which is responsible for most if not all of the biological effects.  When calcium is out of balance, which it is in diseases like cancer and arthritis, and probably in all diseases to some extent, there are 10,000 chemical reactions that also become faulty.   The inward leakage of calcium ions from electromagnetic fields also opens the various tight junction barriers in our bodies that normally protect us from allergens and toxins in the environment and prevent toxic materials in the bloodstream from entering sensitive parts of the body such as the brain. The opening of the blood-brain barrier has been shown to cause the death of neurons and can be expected to result in early dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The opening of the barrier in our respiratory epithelia by electromagnetic fields has been shown to increase the risk of asthma in children. The opening of other barriers, such as the gut barrier allows foreign materials from the gut to enter the bloodstream, which may also promote allergies and has been linked to autoimmune diseases. The industry has been claiming for at least 25 years that ionizing radiation is dangerous, but this non-ionizing radiation can’t do anything.  We don’t have to worry about it at all.  Now we know the mechanism of impact with the voltage-gated calcium channels and the increase in calcium signaling.

Dr. Andrew Goldsworthy, MSc PhD

His interest in the biological effects of electromagnetic fields dates back over 30 years.  Dr. Goldsworthy draws attention to the similarity between the symptoms of electrosensitivity and those of low blood calcium (Hypocalcemia). The symptoms of hypocalcaemia are very similar to those of electromagnetic intolerance such as:  skin disorders, pins and needles, numbness, sensations of burning, fatigue, muscle cramps, cardiac arrhythmia, g.I. problems and others. His work suggests electromagnetic fields and low blood calcium are removing structural calcium from cell membranes to produce similar physiological effects. The ELF frequencies that give damaging biological effects as measured by calcium release from brain slices and ornithine decarboxylase production in tissue cultures lie between 6Hz and 600Hz.  Virtually all digital mobile telecommunications systems use pulses within this range. In February 2013, Dr. Goldsworthy advised Parliament on the potential risks and dangers as a result of Smart Meters and the impact of EMR on the autistic. Dr. Goldsworthy is an Honorary Lecturer in Biology at Imperial College London. He retired from full time teaching in 2004.

I first heard Magda Havas speak in May 2013 at the "Healing Your Brain" Conference held by the Klinghardt Academy.

According to Magda Havas 1 out of 3 adults have mild to moderate symptoms of electrosensitivity.   Magda Havas is Associate Professor of Environmental and Resource Studies at Trent Univrersity where she teaches and does research on the biological effects of environmental contaminants.  Magda has co-authored three books on these topics.  She is called to give expert testimony internationally on the health effects of electromagnetic pollution as they relate to occupational exposure, high voltage transmission lines, magnetic fields and both cell phone and broadcast antennas as the science advisor on EMF-related issues. 

 Her website is an invaluable resource to for anyone who is serious about understanding the science, research, and politics of electromagnetic radiation. An important part of her current work is as an advocate for protecting school age children from the harm of EMR and has been producing studies and research on its correlation between illnesses such as: ADD, autism, allergy, asthma, and more. 

Havas Recommendations:

  • No microwave in the home
  • No cordless phone
  • No WiFi
  • No baby monitors 
  • Her acronym is R.I.D.E
    • Reduce exposure
    • Support the Immune system
    • Detoxify.
    • Emotional/psychological trauma needs to be healed 

Silver fillings in your mouth?  Are you at greater risk?

Amlagam restorations consist of mercury, silver, tin, copper and a trace amount of zinc.  The dental amalgam has two fundamental flaws that adversely affect a patients health,  First, all amalgams are cations and the net result of the tendency for covalent ionic and metallic bonding and van der Waals forces between amalgam cations is a weak repulsion so there is a sustained release of mercury and other metals from the amalgam in to the body.

Also, the five dissimilar metals in the amalgam have a galvanic action between them.  Galvanism produces electricity that flows through the body which has been measured between o.1 and 10 microamps, compared to the body’s natural electric current of 3 microamps. Not only do amalgam fillings attract EMR and electricity to your body, they create electrical current, and they contain mercury.

 

What is Electrohypersensitivity?

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is defined by the World Health Organization as: "…a phenomenon where individuals experience adverse health effects while in the vicinity of devices emanating electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields."

In Sweden, it is classified as a disability.  Health care facilities with low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation are available. The Canadian Human Rights Commission report also acknowledges environmental sensitivity attributed to electromagnetic exposure.  Researchers estimate that approximately 3% of the population has severe symptoms of EHS and another 35% of the population has moderate symptoms such as an impaired immune system and chronic illness (Havas, 2007)

The electrohypersensitive people have their own handicap organization, The Swedish Association for the Electrohypersensitive (http://www.feb.se; the website has an English version). 

Electrosmog Diagnosis

There are electronic instruments which are very objective but cannot predict the biological effect.  -

 EXPOSURE:

The keyboards of laptop computers send dangerous radiation into your hands! Solution:  Attach an external keyboard.

2. Exercising on a treadmill raises blood sugar markedly because of the EMF’s! Solution: Exercise out-of-doors.

3. Compact fluorescent light bulbs give off high levels of EMF’s! Solution: Stock up on incandescent bulbs or change to quartz halogen

4. Teachers in “hot rooms” in schools (computer labs especially) took far more “sick” days than other teachers! Solution: Get out of computer labs! General solution:

Buy a Gauss meter and take measurements of EMF’s at home and school.

5. Hire an environmental consultant

6. Biogeometry

7. Meter – Cornet ED88& – Under $200 Amazon

Purchase filters for electrical outlets that block dirty electricity. Remove all computers, plasma TVs and wireless phones from the bedroom

The dangers of Electro-magnetic fields–EMF, EMR, Electrosmog—are now widely recognized as a serious 21st century health threat by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Report, The Cleveland Clinic and independent researchers from Harvard, Columbia and Yale.

What Can You DO?

Educate yourself and your family. This is easier said than done.  As a grandmother of 5 between the ages of 4-14 and a Functional medicine, bio-energetic practitioner my daily challenge is education on this important topic.  We live in a culture of technology—we all want super downloads, super speed, faster connections, stronger signals which means, more EMF’s.

Human beings are bio-electrical systems.  Our hearts and brains are regulated by internal bio-electrical signals.  Environmental exposures to artifical EMFs can interact with fundamental biological processes in the human body. (Sage, 2007)

This is a fast and changing environment and the fact is we do not have all the answers.  In the meantime, here is a list of action steps to consider for you and your family.

  • Create a sleep sanctuary.  Our brains glymphatic system removes toxic waste at night
  • Metal free mattress & bedframe
  • Sleep sanctuary or turn off the fuses
  • Take rosemary, propolis, melatonin, magnesium 
  • No alarm systems,
  • Put your phone in airplane mode
  • Ethernet
  • Lower exposure – limit wireless including Xbox 360, smart chips, smart meters, Alexa, have digital detox days
  • Get rid of cordless phones and replace with corded phones
  • Use a voice-activated baby monitor
  • Avoid  compact florescent lightbulbs
  • Do not live within 300-400 yards of cell phone towers
  • Use Essential oils, shunghite, structured water, build your energy body and support your immune system
  • Avoid use of electric blankets and waterbeds
  • Lighting:  Try to work with the florescent tube lighting turned off.  Remove CFL from your work area
  • Have a qualified technician measure your  home and workplace for electrosmog

 Join us for a screening of the powerfully moving and thought-provoking documentary, "Generation Zapped" which investigates the potential dangers of prolonged exposure to Radio Frequencies from wireless technology. 

This film was born of a personal and deep investigation by Executive Producer Peter Sullivan as to why his two sons growing up in the tech capital of Silicon Valley, California, were manifesting signs of bein on the autism spectrum.  He teamed with award winning fim director Savine El Gemayel, to create a social-awareness documentary combining personal stories from others directly affected, along with discussions with doctors, health researchers and other experts discovering the mounting scientific evidence.

Why Can I Get Better??? https://rasahealth.com/2014/01/why-can-i-get-better/ https://rasahealth.com/2014/01/why-can-i-get-better/#comments Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:23:03 +0000 http://rasahealth.com/?p=2809 Continue reading ]]>  Why CAN I Get Better?

 

Richard Horowitz, M.D. did chronic Lyme sufferers a huge favor when he not only appeared on the Katie Show to announce to the world his understanding of Chronic Lyme Disease which he calls (MCIDS – Multiple Chronic Infection Disease Syndrome), he  also wrote a book , Why Can’t I Get Better?

 

According to Dr. Horowitz …"This is  a very comprehensive overview of Lyme and Tick Borne disorders with a map which can be applied to all chronic diseases.  Nothing has ever been done in this scope and breadth.  It should really help patients and doctors have a deeper understanding of the disease and how to get patients better. "  He  writes M.D. stands for "Medical Detective," and it has been this unrelentlng desire to uncover the hidden cause of disease which has helped him succeed.

 

Now Dr. Horowitz has the listening ear and attention of chronic sufferers and health care practitioners around the world. 

 

I have been a Lyme sufferer.  I have written about my experiences before but I also see patients everyday who have fallen between the cracks,  been misdiagnosed, undiagnosed or whose prior treatments have provided little relief or even worse have left them penniless and without answers. 

 

Did you notice the name of this post?  “Why CAN I Get Better?  Sometimes a small shift in perception can open an entire new landscape of possibility and potential than we had accessed even a a second ago.  Let me use one of Dr. Klinghardt’s favorite allegories to explain.

 

 

A drunk loses the keys to his house and is looking for them under a lamppost. A policeman comes over and asks what he’s doing.

“I’m looking for my keys” he says. “I lost them over there”.

The policeman looks puzzled. “Then why are you looking for them all the way over here?”

“Because the light is so much better”.

 

We all look for things where the light is better, rather than where we’re more likely to find them. In words of Anais Nin, “we don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are”.

 

A friend wrote, "If this is true – and, who am I kidding? of course it is – I worry that we all stagger around, destined to be misunderstood. Or, worse. We’re all methodically, apocalyptically misunderstood, and it’s too dark to notice."

 

 

 Perhaps we are all looking for the cure where the light is.  And where is that light?  It is shining on the science of chemistry, the labs, the symptoms, the diagnosis and care plan treatments the medical doctors were required to know and are often insisted to incorporate by the insurance companies who are paying the bill.  So, what are they taught….for starters

 

Biochemistry but not Quantum Physics.

Anatomy but not Subtle Anatomy

Surgery but not Psychic Surgery

Pharmaceuticals but not Nutraceuticals.

Isolated organs but not organ meridian Systems

Genes but not Epigenetics

Orthopedics but  not how to interpret the tongue, nails, or pulse

Muscles but not Miasms

Food but not whole food

Cavities but not Cavitations 

 

 

 Do you get the picture? 

 

Dr. Horowitz expanded this model by devoting an entire  chapter to Meditation and Mind Training as well as providing a 16 point check list that includes:  Immune dysfunction,  Inflammation, Environmental toxins,  Functional medicine abnormalities with nutritional deficiencies, Mitochondrial dysfunction,  Endocrine abnormalities,  Neurodegenerative disorders,  Neuropsychiatric disorders, Sleep disorders,  Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction and Allergies. 

 

Kudos to Dr.  Horowitz.  Yet,  even Dr. Horowitz is only looking for the keys where the light has been turned on.

 

Quantum Physics

Let me introduce you to a perspective of health and healing where the light is still quite dim yet amazingly bright for those who are willing to see it?  Are you the type that "believes" only after you have seen it or are you the type that knows sometimes you have to “Believe” before you see it.

 Quantum physics is a branch of science that deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta.   With the discovery of Quantum physics,  our understanding of the world has changed considerably.  Prior to its discovery,  it was thought that matter was solid and rigid.  Quantum Physics has shown us that all matter is made of the same materials and it is the vibration, tone and coherence of these particles that gives matter all of its properties.  This includes you and me.

 

 Today’s scientists not only view the body as a physical structure, but also as an energetic system.  This understanding is revolutionizing the health care system and our ability to heal and be well.  While at a glance this may seem like just another strange theory,  it contains many clues as to the fundamental nature of the universe and may be more important then even relativity in the grand scheme of things.  Furthermore, it describes the nature of the universe as being much different then the world we see.  As Niels Bohr said, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."

 

"Dr. Amit Goswami as usual has the most brilliant insights into how consciousness conceives, governs, constructs, and becomes biology." – Deepak Chopra

 

Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D. Ph.d  has a unique perspective on health and how we heal because he is trained and practices in both Germany and the United States.  He remarked that  his German patients don’t want “more tests” and “drugs” they want more energy based solutions and frequency based medicine.  His U.S. patients demand a diagnosis and treatment based on their Biochemistry and Biology.

 

Which model is correct?



 

They both are.

 

 

It’s time to shine the light on the wholeness of humanity not only as it relates to humankind but to Everykind.  The animals,  the plants, elements, solar system and multi-verse.  After all don’t we say as above so below?  We live in a multi-verse not  a Universe–our body comprises multiple systems not just one.  We have a spleen and a liver but we also have consciousness and a Bio-field.

 

Take a look at this chart which shows an example of how a few systems are inter-related.  .  As a Chiropractor,  if I find a patient who continually presents with a subluxation at T9/T10,  I will also check Liver/Gall Bladder function as well as any dental contribution at Tooth #6.  Using ARTesting we can determine if the tooth is contributing to the subluxation /Gall Bladder dysfunction or the other way around.

 

 

The Quantum practitioner is aware of:

 

Bi-directional  forces of nature and human beings

Living, structured  water and molecular hydration

Patterns, shapes,  colors & sacred geometry

Frequencies,  light,  sound & music and chanting

The biofield and the information stored therein

Resonance, coherence and wave function

Planets, solar flares,  Electro-magnetic fields, Geopathics, and their impact on humans and our impact on them

Interrelationship of teeth, organs, muscles, emotion, nutrition, vertebra and more

The meridian system and chakra system

Cellular function based on voltage, sound, light and raw materials

 

Patients in our office are assessed using both models.  We apply the science of logic, reasoning, lab reports, diagnostics and technology but we also value intuition, spiritual concepts, quantum physics and the frequency of love which is nature’s inherent healer.

 

 Geneticists report that 25% of our genes are hard wired. 75% are not. Epigenetically speaking then, diseases of civilization spring mostly from inner and external environmental "obstacles to cure" matrices - colds to cancers – mycoplasmas to miasms- prions to parasites- Lyme to ley lines – ground matrix to geopathic stress - hormones to hormesis etc.

 

How does a health practitioner begin to unwind the complexities and layers for the patient entrusted in their care?

 

If one is only skilled in MTHFR–then everything will look like it’s an MTHFR issues, if one is only skilled in Adrenal Health…then everything will look like an Adrenal issue.  If one is only skilled in Gastrointestinal dysfunction then everything will look like a Gut issues.  Get the point? 

At raSa health we are skilled in using Autonomic Response Testing which applies the principles of Quantum Physics and has proven to be the most accurate form of muscle testing used to determine what an individual needs at any point in time in order to restore balance to the system.

.

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, ARTesting can determine where, how and why the Autonomic Nervous System is BLOCKED and what it will take to return it to proper flow.  We also use it to determine the proper nutrients the body needs and prioritize the underlying issues that are stressing the body.

 

Health and healing is never a “one size fits all” approach.  For one patient, the choice of chemotherapy and surgery may be the best choice.  For another that may not be an option. 

 

If you are seeking a model that embraces the whole system and not only the parts, you may find the answers you seek at raSa health. 

 

A branch of medicine that recognizes this is known as Anthroposophical medicine.   Anthroposophic Medicine (Anthropos=human being: Sophia=Wisdom.  Health is a result of a harmonious relationship between all systems.  This is partnered health care.  It is not the result of someone with a white coat writing a prescription.  It is the result of partnering with a practitioner that beholds the truth of your being even when you do not know it for yourself.  This model requires communication, commitment, inner work, discipline and a willingness to experience joy, divinity and health.

 

Why CAN I Get Better?  Because we come with a divine blueprint that recognizes we are more than our biochemistry.  Until we shine the light on the intrinisic principles of our very nature we will continue to chase the bugs, destroy our environment and pollute our own bodies.

 

Why CAN I Get Better? because you are better. Embrace the fullness of your divine blueprint and you will soar to a new level of health you may have never been told is possible.

 

I can tell you it is.  I see it everyday in different ways.  If it happens for others,  it can happen for you.

 

If you have found yourself reading this and saying, yes, yes, that makes some sense to me.  Come on in and let’s shine the light on all the underlying issues that may be contributing to the process.  What I love most about this work?  The testing is so sensitive we detect imbalances BEFORE they become pathology.  We don’t wait for the car engine to fail before we bring it in for service….Doesn’t your body deserve the same care?  

 

"We do not think ourselves into a new way of living, we live ourselves into a new way of thinking." – Richard Rohr

Can Lyme Disease be Cured? https://rasahealth.com/2012/10/can-lyme-disease-be-cured/ https://rasahealth.com/2012/10/can-lyme-disease-be-cured/#comments Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:14:22 +0000 http://rasahealth.com/?p=2003 Continue reading ]]>  

This is a question I am often asked. Having a diagnosis of Lyme myself I have given this a lot of thought. Cancer is said to be “cured” if a patient remains asymptomatic for a period of 5 years.  Does  asymptomatic equal cured?  What is cured? 

 

With my own diagnosis my goal is to focus on feeling well and living well.  I don’t really think about finding a cure for Lyme as much as I think about finding my wellness point. Two  thoughts cannot occupy the same space at the same time.  If you have the thought “ I have Lyme,” you cannot at the same time be thinking, “I am well.”

 

 

At raSa health I have patients who come in with diagnoses of everything from Thyroid disease to Cancer and Lyme disease to headaches.  I do not treat the diagnosis.  I do treat the person who has the diagnosis. In fact, I treat the wholeness of that person.  In the 5 levels of health and healing model adapted from Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., I recognize my patients are much more than their physical bodies.  They also have an energy body, a mental body, an informational body and consciousness.

 

When I care for a patient with a diagnosis of Lyme disease, I treat beyond the symptoms.  I treat the system. Lyme disease is no longer one infection. Richard Horowitz, M.D. renamed Lyme disease “MCIDS.  Multiple Chronic Infection Disease Syndrome.  There are multiple layers to Lyme disease and there is no one herb, antibiotic, tincture or remedy that can address each and every one of them.

 

A common thread I see in those of us with a Lyme diagnosis is we have multiple issues on multiple levels to varying degrees.  Each patient must be addressed according to their uniqueness.  The healing comes when we can identify the level the original wound appeared and begin the unwinding through each of the levels affected.  This is different for each of us.  Lyme is not “cured” by an antibiotic.  The symptoms may be reduced but the Lyme Disease is NOT cured.  Just like cutting off a cancerous breast doesn’t cure the cancer or if you abandon a child doesn’t mean you are not a parent.

 

The cure is a process.  A journey of life itself. The cure is not found on the highways or the freeways of life…but more likely to be found in the ditch or the pothole.  Those patients who are willing to look at the potholes and get down under their own hood and assess the damage, the corrosion, the rust, and dents are the ones who often “find the cure.”

 

Killing bugs doesn’t create a cure anymore than war brings about peace or darkness brings about light. There are several steps in our approach to caring for a patient with a diagnosis of Lyme disease.

 

Step 1

 

Accept that Lyme or whatever diagnosis has come into your life is there for a reason.  It is a messenger.  We never benefit from killing the messenger.

 

Step 2

 

Recognize that Lyme may not be only affecting your biochemistry and physiology but also your energy body, your mental body, your informational body and your consciousness.

 

Step 3

 

Be willing to look under the hood.  Assess the damage. Ask the tough questions.  Where in my life is there a wounding that is asking to be healed.  Where in my life does resentment need to be replaced with forgiveness or  worry and control asking to be replaced with faith and surrender.

 

Step 4

 

Get a plan.  Just like you would get an estimate to have your auto repaired we need an estimate and a plan to return to our wholeness. 

 

Step 5

 

Ask yourself does my plan include:

 

Immune modulators

Anti-microbials

Repairing the biochemistry

Rebuilding the physiology

Detoxing  and unloading the system

Removing and mitigating the offending electro-magnetic, dirty electricity and geopathic stressors

Healing the trauma

 

Is there a cure for Lyme disease?  This is how the dictionary defines “cure.”


n.

 

1. Restoration of health; recovery from disease.

2. A method or course of medical treatment used to restore health.

3. An agent, such as a drug, that restores health; a remedy.

4. Something that corrects or relieves a harmful or disturbing situation: The cats proved to be a good cure for our mouse problem.

5. Ecclesiastical Spiritual charge or care, as of a priest for a congregation.

 

In my 10 years of working with patients who have a diagnosis of Lyme disease, the difference between those who were “cured” and those that weren’t is listed here.  Those who

 

  1. Had the ability to embrace the idea that recovery was possible,
  2. Followed a course of treatment,
  3. Corrected their harmful or disturbing situations and
  4. Found their spiritual charge.
