LYME DISEASE: AN OVERLOAD OF BUGS AND SYMPTOMS!


©
This is my thinking, not a scientific advice of course:
I was asked by a friend if I agree we all have a germ overload, and if I think that by killing the parasites the bacteria and other might be fixed by the immune system?
Yes in Lyme Disease there is an overload of bugs, organisms, bacteria, protozoans, viruses and mold. 
Why or how? By the transmission of the tick bite, other might be awakened because the immune system is suppressed maybe by some bacteria capable of doing this or precisely because the system is totally overloaded.  Also because the ticks transmit not just one type of bugs, at least the American ticks seem to pass more than one organism and they all enter our bodies and create an "ecosystem" inside us.
For example the mold, we might all have some of it in our "regular healthy lives", but because of the infection, the parasitic die off or the large amounts of antibiotics the mold grows.  So probably it was not received from the tick but it is an "opportunistic organism"??  When we kill the parasites if there are no bacteria to eat that dead body, the body will have a fermentation process which really means fungi or mold trying to destroy it. Meaning count on having mold too for sure, and this is a big organism not easy to eradicate!

Another thing very obvious to me is, if we have a little stick inside our skin, let's say the tip of a finger and we do not take it out what happens?  it gets infected, meaning the bacteria would show up and live there unless we treat the infection and get rid of the stick.  Now imagine thousands of sticks inside our bodies, and then hundreds of thousands in the blood, brain, muscles?  well, those are the parasites and yes the bacteria feeds from the left overs of these parasites.  There are some researchers who dare to say that these parasites are so smart they "grow" these bacteria as food for them?

I just think it is obvious to have multiple organisms if an infection is not treated on time, more this type of zoonotic Disease that brings big parasites that go to our blood and then the brain and glands and muscles and bones.  So of course the response is to have an overactive immune system, adrenal system, circulatory system; the Central nervous system is infected almost since the beginning, the Lymphatic system is their favorite dessert and with all these the constellation of symptoms is obvious.  Pains of all types, infection all over, septicemia, countless signs.

So because of my posts you ask me if I think that by first treating the parasites the other infections could be fixed by the immune system?  I would have to say I don't know for sure, but I can say that it is not logic to treat the bacteria first and after years of being devoured by parasites consider treating them.  I can say for sure the logic is to treat the big ones first.  Yes treat the parasites and then try to fix the infections and mold and viruses before the body is so broke, is the logic thread.  I cannot understand people having intravenous antibiotics for two three years and not having one anti-parasitic.  It is like trying to kill a snake with flea spray?  yes it has killed thousands of fleas but it might take many years to kill that snake!

But the problem is much bigger; the problem is the concept of what Lyme Disease is or what it is not.  I hear people saying, "my Doctor found my bigger problem was not Lyme but the Babesia?"; others "I found pots is my problem and not LD"?  So the concept of what is Lyme has to be defined, to be able to properly treated; the same as the bugs in Lyme have to be IDENTIFYIED to be properly treated!

I've seen LD as the multi-infection that generates a constellation of symptoms, but I don't loose the North of seeing the origin of such infection as a zoonotic disease and as such what type of medicines to use.  This because most Drs and specialists treat the symptoms but not the cause, so the person receives tons of pain killers, psych medicines and hundreds of supplements but not even one anthelmintic?  So Lyme is what and how it must be addressed to fully recover the person? 

So we have to go back to the concept again because most Doctors and medical books in the US think there are no parasites in this huge piece of earth; everything is free of worms and longer bugs?  the soil, the water, the grass, the animals??  I don't know why parasites are denied with such fervor, lol, it is like saying the rest of the world could be round but this part is flat! 
So if the WISE say there are no parasites at all, just very weird cases, so exceptional they are good to do a scary TV program full of Monsters, how can someone like me say LD has a huge component of parasitic infection?  And let me clear, not just me but a Dr and a group of Drs that have influence from other places of the world, meaning this is not "American made"... so is there or is there not a parasitic infection in Lyme Disease.  Are parasites transmitted by the tick when it bites the victim or not?  Is Babesia a parasite?  Is Borrelia a parasite?  and do some of the co-infections re or not parasites or act like parasites?  And if this concept is not defined due to it might raise susceptibilities as saying the US is now ewww full of parasites, LD is not going to be properly treated.  Like the spray for fleas to try to kill a snake, or ten snakes or one hundred snakes or thousands hatched every 21 days inside our bodies... does this is a picture that needs to be taken care or we can still ignore it to not be offended?

How come LD is "malaria like"? i don't understand what is to be like and not to be it, what this means medically or scientifically talking; I just understand the words that mean it is as bad as malaria and it should be treated with the same priority as this disease, is this correct?  How come "Babesia" is a parasite that acts like the parasite of the falciparum malaria but it is not treated as a bad dangerous parasite?  Amoxicillin for these? Doxycycline for two weeks? This treatment was not even made in the past century in the endemic areas of the planet why would that be the treatment in the US in this century? I asked the Dr if he would consider the blood transfusion and he laughed at me... why?  Don’t I deserve to be properly treated for such infection?  My friend C asked her Doctor to test her and consider treating her for parasites, her Doctor said he won't test her because he won't change the protocol no matter the results of the labs!  TRUE STORY! And many like this one that has name and last name! 
So again, are there or are there not parasites in LD and if the answers is yes should they be treated or not???  Is it ok and proper to not treat parasites and not to treat the zoonotic parasitic infection in Lyme Disease?
And if this brings some light at the end then there will be the discussion of what is a parasite and what not?  Because many think parasites are just intestinal, they just get the concept of a white long worm, but can you even think what is like to have bugs that go inside the red blood cell and feed out from it, live there, multiply inside there; or inside the brain cells?  Something not so serious to treat or something too ewww to talk about?  We have parasites coming out of our eyes, we've seen them and have pictures.  Bugs coming out from our skin, bugs killing our brain cells to the point the "DEPRESSION" is nothing different than brain damage made by the parasites that leave the cell blank so we cannot think, remember things, connect images, get to the extreme point of not even being able to pray, the brain just can't do it, too hard to do it.  Does this sounds strange?  it is not for any Lymie! 

So are parasites just white long worms or those "malaria like" as Babesia, that invade our red blood cells three bugs at a time, sucking our life out, are, or not parasites, and should they be treated or not?
And of course we do have intestinal parasites, lol, those are the easiest ones to treat, those are the less of our problems; so why not treat them?  Why the medical profession in the US does not deworm regularly and moreover why not deworm and detox a person who is infected in so many ways with so many organisms? 

So, do I think that by treating the parasites the other bugs might be fixed by our own bodies?  Still cannot say the last word, hope there is someone that could, but Dr K said that while treating the bigger bugs the smaller can be detoxed too; and this Dr in Fl said that Borrelia attaches to the parasites so we cannot let one parasite in the body not treated in order to cure Lyme Disease.. if this answers part of the question?

The other problem I see is that if all the bugs were properly identified and addressed the point would be how to treat them, in which order and when?  From the biggest to the smallest, and then repeat treatments, ok that sounds logic, but how to know the exact combination?  The more you research about Lyme the more weird names show up, so can you explain me how can the tick in North America transmit  Rickettsia, Mycoplasma, Bartonella, Babesia, Borrelia, Viruses, etc???  Does each Lymie has them all?  Or just some of those?  And to put the cherry on top of this dessert, the homeopathic Doctors insist there is a huge load of metals blocking the body that have to be treated too to be able to respond to the rest of the long treatment! 

So we are talking about a multi-bacterial, poly-parasitic infection with numerous co-infections that cause a constellation of symptoms and damage to the body and health that is not clear how to detect it, to address it; it is denied, hidden and ignored, that is now the plague of the century, spread from the US to the world and no one knows how to cure it? (I say use anthelmintics to start, Eureka!!!).

I don't know if the chicken was first than the egg but one thing is certain, a zoonotic infection is parasitic everywhere of the planet; an "intracellular bacteria - like Borrelia - means it is a parasite but smaller - and if Babesia is not treated the person would never recover.  So talking parasites is talking Lyme Disease.

The one only truly good thing I find after so much suffering this disease brings is that no matter how many say this is chronic and won't be cured, when properly addressed by killing the parasites and treating the infections, in most cases, even the very lost ones, the immune system responds and recovers and the person can become healthy after being sick long time.  I have seen that with people just receiving some antibiotics and feeling some recovery and others having anthelmintic and starting to live again. Even the anemia goes away by itself! The immune system doesn't seem to be broken, it is overloaded and affected, but it still works everyday truly hard to help us out; it is not chronic by any means.  Treat the infection and the chronic is gone! 
So my answers is yes, I do think that if you treat first the parasites and re-treat from time to time, and properly address the infections and co-infections the immune system would do a better job and the healthy life would come back, slowly but would do! 
No it is not a fake expectation; it is the reality some business people want to take away from us just to make money by treating forever or by some companies that do not want to do long term treatments, but the sun is there no matter how much they try to hide it with a finger!

With all my heart to all my Lymie friends, may God heal you!

LYME DISEASE, IS AN INFECTION BASED IN THE MEDULLA OBLONGATA!

"The medulla Oblongata is the lower half of the brainstem. In discussions of neurology and similar contexts where no ambiguity will result, it is often referred to as simply the medulla. The medulla contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotor centers and deals with autonomic, involuntary functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure." - From my friend Wikipedia!

Reading Sarah Vaughter's blog she said LD infection starts in the "Medulla Oblongata", YES!!!! I have been saying the infection is based behind the nose, that is is like a sinus but stronger, but this information of the medulla fits perfectly: "The medulla contains the cardiac, respiratory, vomiting and vasomotor centers and deals with autonomic, involuntary functions, such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure." So it is affecting our bodies before even spreading anywhere else!  
This is why the heart rate is affected, not because of the thyroid this one comes later; this is why the breathing stops and changes during the day or while sleeping; this is why we can get involuntary movements and look like drunk people or crazy ones; from the medulla the infection travels to the "nerves" or to anywhere of our Central Nervous system and that is the cause of such horrible pains.  The infection in the medulla is why we vomit and have diaharreahs; this is why we loose our memory, become forgetful, blurry vision, neurological disorders, anger, depression! 

This nice blog of "Sacredluna" teaches to "use the brain" to contact "Our Higher Source" of the Universe  by "putting images in the medulla", they say: "There is a non-physical cord that attaches us through our Medulla Oblongata to our origin", well, from experience I can say that when the medulla is infected with Lyme Disease there is no contact with God, nor with happiness, cannot laugh, cannot even love! Maybe that website is saying the biggest truth, if the medulla is infected there is no connection to the Universe and that is why there is clinical depression and suicidal fears?
The important thing is to know where it starts to be able to end it.  Learning that the bugs are grounded in the medulla gives the option of treating it directly.   Just wonder if the big wise medical organizations of the country and the world are going to maintain their guidelines to treat Lyme Disease with just two weeks of antibiotics to an infection that is parasitic and that is located in the base of the brain spreading over all the brain and the body?

The first symptoms and all the relapses fit perfectly, it is not a sinus but rather an infection in the medulla and from there it goes to the rest of the brain, the sinuses, mouth, glands, thyroid, heart, wowowowowowwww!
I'm I discovering the hot water here? everyone knew this but me? I'm in shock! This is why the heart rate is affected, not because of the thyroid; this is why the breathing stops and changes; this is why we can get involuntary movements; from the medulla the infection travels to the "nerves" or to anywhere of our Central Nervous system; come one this is the place where all Lyme Disease starts and where it has to be ended! Attack the base!!!
 
When the tick bites transmits infection from his mouth to the skin and from there this infection  moves to the blood stream the same as it does with the mosquito bite transmitting malaria.  The infection is not just bacterial as all say trying to dismiss the severity of Lyme Disease; the infection are parasites who look for food and for a place to make their camping! When they invade the blood the anemia is severe; the malaria parasites go inside the red blood cells, one bug per one red blood cell; while the Lyme parasites are three at a time invading each red blood cells, three times worse than malaria - this is the Babesiosis - and the Borrelia that is always called a "resistant bacteria" it is just another "intracellular bacteria" which certainly means another type of parasite malaria like.  So after having such infection in the organism the body breaks. The sudden anemia causes fatigue and from there tons of symptoms start.  The bugs stay in the blood for a short period of time but soon they migrate to other places, they want to hide in the smaller veins to hide from the attacks of the immune system and or antibiotics when the person receives treatment, and they're hungry too,  so they go where they can feed and reproduce better.  The malaria parasites go to the liver and the brain, that's why they kill their host so fast.  The bugs of LD are smarter, they migrate to many places to not kill their host, there are many cases of people living with Lyme for more than 20 or 30 years and all the time symptomatic and suffering; yes many others die from a heart attack and other complications but these bugs do not pretend to kill just to live long. 


The parasites of Lyme Disease love to feed out of brain cells, of glands tissues, organ tissues, bones and muscles, and of course their favorites are all related to the brain like nerves all over the body. Lyme Disease in inflammatory - of course the body swells trying to get rid of these multiple infections; LD is autoimmune well, sort of because if the red blood cells are attacked by some bugs, also the Borrelia bugs hiding inside the white blood cells make the infection look like the body attacking it self right? Lyme Disease is "chronic" well, it lasts until the bugs are killed and certainly two weeks of Doxy do not do the miracle.Lyme is the best imitator because it looks like ALS, MS, Lupus, etc, well it is not imitating it is doing it; the bugs are infecting the muscles so the fibromialgia is not fake it is real; the bugs are eating the brain so the neurological is not a fake Parkinsosn or Alzheimers it is real damage until the bugs are killed or wiped out; it is not imitating heart problems it is a real infection in the heart; it is not a fake arthritis it is more real than the old known one because the bugs are feeding of the tissue around the bones; but if you ask me how to combat these multiple symptoms so complex and painful I would easily say killing the bugs, but not, that is not made, barely.  The wise ones wrote that two weeks of Doxycicline could clean the infection if catch "on time" or four weeks of intravenous antibiotic if not treated early would wipe off all the bugs, so inf the person is still sick they say the illness is chronic and won't treat anymore.  Meaning will let the bugs to reproduce now freely everywhere and anywhere they want, owners of that host. But please notice, Doctors will give tons of opiates for the pain, lots of psychiatric medicines for the neurological symptoms, many drugs to help the sleeping disorders and thousands of supplements to help the body heal; their hands do not shake to prescribe morphine, hydrocodone, and all those strong pain killers; but try to convince them to give you Flagyl for two weeks or Albendazole, or Ivermectin for one month?  noo, those drugs are too strong and can cause reactions.  The IV antibiotics are too risky, the long antibiotics treatments are not good, and so on until finding that the only ones that would treat longer, but still denying parasites, are the ones that charge more... 

Lyme Disease is an infection originated from the base of the brain, it has to be treated there to be eradicated, cannot be left untreated infecting the brain and the rest of the Central Nervous system and the Lymphatic system and the circulatory system and the muscles and organs and bones.
We need Doctors to help us, we need research and compassionate people to help us!
Cannot let Lyme Disease to propagate in more cities and countries;
 you, the "wisest and powerful"  are letting both things to happen:
the infection spreading all over the body and all over the world!
May God help us and may we find a cure to your injustice!

I need to add that I think the small parasite that goes to the medulla could be a parasite called
"Sarcocystis neurona",  a parasite that resembles toxoplasmosis that can be in the cat's feces.  My lab test made by Clongen Laboratories reads "numerous round motile unknown organisms" ... and other elongated with dubbell heads swimming in my blood,  I guess those resemble toxoplasmosis and as an article writen by Stephanie Pappas reads "they make toxoplasmosis, the disease caused by T.gondii infection, worse. The result is brain swelling and death.".  Hope researchers and scientists help with this "discovery".  The blog of Dr "J" LYMEMD continusly speaks about this numerous motile round organisms that no one knows what are they.  I think these are the  Sarcocystis neurona because the symptoms match perfectly!

LYME DISEASE, GETTING BETTER WITH IVERMECTIN!

Sleeping without pain, waking up with no symptoms but the "natural" cramps...
Ivermectin and now Alinia together made a huge difference for me. No pain, enjoying the bed, relaxing, sleeping well, no fear of death, not the incessant exploiting inside my body, no light nor sound sensitivity, no muscle pain, no arthritis pain, no bells palsy, no heart pain!!!!!   I'm still some swollen and I'm still fighting some co-infections but I am recovering, for first time in 5 years I feel a huge change!  I'm not having antibiotics now, since I took the CIPROFLOXACIN I have no need of more, just antiparasitics!!
  I recently had Bactrim again, it is magic too!
How come some Drs and certain organizations state Bactrim or Flagyl are not good when they're maybe the only ones that really help with Lyme Disease infections?  Maybe those companies are not in the top ten money makers? lol!  And how come the US does not have the human version of Ivermectin sold in South America and given for free in Africa after having such zoonotic disease growing every day all over the country?
Why few talk about Lyme Disease being a parasitic infection? The only word mentioned is bacteria, but it is not just that Lymies only get intestinal parasites but parasites in the blood, parasites inside the sinuses, parasites in our glands, parasites living inside our muscles and bones and of course parasites invading our brains and hearts. Yes PARASITES not "just" bacteria; that's why the bugs are "resistant to antibiotics" because they're bigger than bacteria: they are parasites!  Like trying to kill snakes with flying bugs spray!

Treat the parasites and the symptoms will fade; if you don't believe me just try and see! 
A zoonotic infection is parasitic, lol, I didn't invent that, it is known everywhere in the world, scientists, medical personnel, everyone knows but the ones that treat Lyme Disease nor the ones that postulate the guidelines to treat it, don't ask me why?  The illness is growing everyday but the truth is still hidden!
 
Plus more than 75 % of the cases of Lyme Disease are infections of Bacteria (Borrelia Burgdorferi) and parasites (Babesia), plus other called "co-infections of bacteria and parasites like Bartonella, Erlichia, Mycoplasma and some types of viruses.  So most of the Lymies have Babesia too, that is worse than having malaria. 
When the blood is seen in a microscope the malaria parasites are seen invading the red blood cells, one parasite per one RBC, while the Babesia is recognized for having up to three parasites invading the red blood cells, three times the damage, three times the anemia!  The other difference is that malaria parasites feed from the liver and brain, so they kill their host really fast; Babesia parasites are travelers who love to eat brain cells, heart cells, gland cells and the more they reproduce the more they migrate to other organs, nerves, muscles and bones, so the host lives longer but suffering more until dying in pain. If that is not a parasitic infection please correct me and tell me what that is????  I know a person who's child has the parasites in the sinus, brain, glands and body, but she is worried for the child having mold in the blood, can someone measure what is more damaging for a human being? why the denial of the damage parasites do to humans? 
If you are interested in the Ivermectine the human version in the US is called STROMECTOL, needs a prescription and the treatment should be careful because the die off is truly hard. Each parasite throws a toxin when they die, plus their dead bodies are another toxin and of course, the medicine to kill the parasite is a poison, so what ever dose you take, multiply it by three, that is the load your body will have to deal with. So you better start low, but repeat it regularly to kill the eggs, to stop their reproduction, to clean your body form their continuous devouring you.
There is a human version of Ivermectin sold in South America and other countries that come sin small bottles of 6 ml, like tear drops bottles.  The dose is one drop per one kilogram.  Well that for healthier people, because when the person is very infected is always advisable to start with lower doses.

The veterinary version is called Ivomec, Ivermax, Zimectrin and Iverchoice to mention some; these come in pastes and in liquid in huge gallons or bottles. The veterinary version is made to deworm and treat cows, horses and pigs. The concentration of it is  the double of the human version or even more, so if someone decides to treat with these the amount of medicine given has to
be half of the medicine you would take in a human version. 
For the human dosage the liquid Ivermectina is taken one drop at 0.6% concentration per one KILOGRAM of weight ONCE A WEEK. If you are a Lymie, infected for long time you better don't start with a "normal" dose, my Doc said the best should be to start with half of it and be prepared to herx; but also be prepared to have great days, good ones, glorious ones!  If you don't repeat the anti-parasitic treatments the parasites will take over again and again!!!  I mean repeat once a week or once every two weeks but never before because the medicine stays in the body during four days, so if you repeat it before that time you could be duplicating the dose and making it poisonous.  One year is probably the minimum time you might need to do the treatment.  I take it once a week, and will keep on doing it!
I had a friend taking 5 drops of Ivermectin a week, didn't help her at all, lol, too low. I heard this person stating Ivermectin didn't do much good, but the person just took one dose, felt recovery and  never took it again, which means the eggs hatched and reproduced again.  I saw this guy who one night took one bottle of the human liquid version (not sold in the US), then the next morning he took another full bottle of the human version (6 ml); he herxed like crazy but then he was fine, lol, he says that is the correct dose... I would not try that too much I guess. I read about this girl two years old who drank more than half a bottle of Ivermectine for cows, a huge one ltr bottle, they took her to the hospital, induced vomiting and the girl was fine... so I know it is toxic but not that is going to kill us not even taking the complete little human version bottle. It is safe for humans, but the herx is bad the more bugs it kills.  I found a very recognized Doctor is treating with 12 mgs a day of human Ivermectin every day for two weeks, I found this a strong dose but that is just my personal opinion not a medical advise.  My Doc from my home country told me that the medicine is not cleared up in our bodies in four days so dosages must not be repeated before to not multiply the treatment.  I mean if you took 12 mgs today - which is very high in my opinion, and tomorrow you take another 12 mgs you would be having 24 mgs of medicine in your body because the body cannot clear it so fast, so if you do this everyday non stop for two weeks well, I think it could be poisonous unless you are sure your body can take such huge doses.  My Doc advised me to take half the dose once a week and raise it up little by little, better a long treatment but slow.  Also because each parasite that dies releases a toxin which makes us very sick, so the parasite killing has to be slow and regular!
Denying the parasitic infection in Lyme Disease is condemning the people to never recover and suffer, or maybe that is what they want to make more money and sell more medicines?  Hope not, honestly pray it is not just business!
NOTE:  I didn't know that the parasites in blood like with the malaria and Babesia they travel not only to the organs but go hide to the tips of the fingers and ears. So last week when I went to the lab of the hospital they didn't see the parasites in my blood and I was surprised because I have seen them in my microscope at home. The difference was they took my blood from the big vein of the hand while I took the sample from the tip of my finger!!

 No one pays me a penny for posting my information, for researching, for trying, for sharing. I don't lead anyone nor any interest, I don't follow anyone nor any company. I suffered the most horrible nightmare and I beg God to help me and I promised Him I will share all I learned on my way back to recovery, and I have done it and will keep on doing it. 
 If you use my information, please give me the credit, don't post it in your private blog like if you researched it, or you found it or you had the idea of it; just be fair as I always post the links and info too. 
I am on my way to recovery but not thanks to the ten Doctors that dismissed me, nor I can thank the one LLMD who nicely treated me because he also denies the parasitic part of the infection; if I were in any of their hands I would be quadriplegic and with dementia or dead after horrible suffering.  I'm alive, surviving, almost doing good thanks to God who guided me, to my family Doctor in my home country in South America who I called and who trusted me after not seeing me in more than ten years, but his great heart and lots of knowledge were generous enough for trying to help me, and to my family my cousins and friends who brought me medicines and my closed family who had taken so much care of me.  

Sorry, these Doctors had the opportunity to make a difference but their egos were as big as their ignorance. 
 THIS IS JUST MY OPINION NOT A DOCTORS ADVISE.
Thanks for sharing!
