thank you for your post! could you tell us how you detox? thx, karen

Subject: Joint Stiffness and Pain after Rifing - DETOXTo: Lyme_and_Rife Date: Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 8:13 AM

I have Bb infection in virtually every joint of my body, and in my brain. DETOXING is the prime method I use to relieve joint stiffness and pain after coiling. This is a subject I have been dealing with on an almost daily basis since June of 2009. Treatment for symptoms only (i.e., pain relievers), is not ultimately effective, as it will not address the underlying cause.The cause for my joint issues is Bb infection and die-off. I cannot say catagorically, that all joint issues that lymies face are not caused by co-infections. But in my research of the scientific data that exists covering the morphology and life cycles of Bb and the co-infections, I cannot find data on joint issues as related to any of the co-infections, except for Mycoplasma fermentans, which like Bb, can manifest symptoms of a very wide range.Treating Bb with the coil machine is a very slow process, as most Lyme patients are aware, and may take years. But regularly

treating the die-off of organsims, while treating the infection with rife, is absolutely ESSENTIAL. The die-off of Bb is toxic, and causes inflammation, which is the root cause of increased joint stiffness and pain after rifing treatments. The immune system is reacting to the die-off of the infection in the joints, so therefore, they hurt even more than usual.Bb lives in, and feeds on, the connective tissues in the body, and the joint tissues are one of its preferred delicacies. IMO, it's important to understand just what's going on in the body, where the Bb organism lives and breeds, as this will be helpful in developing a strategy to combat it.The following documents are two of the best I've come across in explaing the morphology of the Bb organism and its effects on the body, in a fashion that can be comprehended by the average lymie who does not hold a degree in biochemistry:http://www.natcaplyme.org/images/pdfs/NCLBacteria09.pdf(The above PDF, "The Borrelia Genus" has many footnotes and references to scientifc research, and those are important, as they are the evidence for all claims cited about the organism.http://www.townsendletter.com/FebMar2006/lyme0206.htmThe above link to a Townsend Letter article, "Biochemistry of Lyme Disease: Borrelia burgdorferi Spirochete/Cyst", explains how the Bb neurotoxin interferes with the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which inhibits nerve functioning, and can lead to a host of symtoms.http://www.townsendletter.com/July2010/sapi0710.htmlThe above link to a Townsend

Letter article, "In Vitro Effectiveness of Samento and Banderol Herbal Extracts on the Different Morphological Forms of Borrelia Burgdorferi", describes cutting edge, in vitro research on Bb, by the University of New Haven.There are also a host of Lyme related PubMed articles, which are very difficult to comprehend, as they are full of scientific jargon, and geared towards peers. Below is a link to one such article, which reports research about how the Bb organism resides in, and dissolves (and feeds on) the "extracellular matrix" of mammals. It's not easy to comprehend, but it does explain how Bb consumes connective tissue, which makes up the "extracellular matrix" - the space between cells in the body and the brain.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=PMC96674- Jane

Hi ,

Detoxing using natural methods is my preference. You may know that the pharma

drug, Welchol (a bile acid sequestrant) and other pharma bile acid sequestrants,

are used by some coilers to eliminate herxes.

I would suggest that anyone interested in using pharma drugs, do the research

regarding side affects (there are a number of them).

I will upload a list of natural detox substances and methods to the group files,

so everyone can access it there. I compiled the list over a series of years. It

is my database of effective detox agents, as reported by other Lyme patients.

The list contains links for some of them; others are just listed for reference.

I personally use Burbur and Pinella, from the NutraMedix company. I have been

using them effectively for years. Yesterday, I took 180 drops of Burbur (the

bottle says 10 drops at a time - I need 60 drops at a time, these days). I don't

think that overdose is and issue with Burbur or Pinella, but if interested, one

can check with the company. 10 drops won't do a thing for me, but 180 drops did

the trick. I am herxing again after attaining remission last year, due to my own

stupidity (as posted in my coiling update from a few days ago).

Anyway, detox agents are personal preference. If you're interested in trying out

one of the items on the list, you can google it, or post a question about it.

Most likely, someone in the group has used it and can provide tips.

Jane,

I also take Pinella & Burbur,but only 10 drops at a time in 4 ozs of water.

When you say you take 180 drops, is that all at one time, in only 4 ozs of

water, or if at separate times, how much water do you use? I'm not really sure

when to take them, I'm new at this. Do you take them everyday, regardless of

how you feel, or after rifing only, (when you feel lousy), but then for how many

days do you take it? How do you know how many times a day to take it? I prefer

natural methods also & really appreciate your list. Thanks.

Hi Jane,

One of the products that is not on the list that should be, is Dr. Lloyd's

recommendation of Cholestepure by Pure Encapsulations, he recommends taking it

with Thuja and Peach Tree extract. I have found this to be a good substitute

for Cholestyramine.
