Confronting Lyme Disease

What Patient's Stories Tell Us

A Review By

Connie Siese

I give this book ten stars. It is so well written. What an exemplary way to

tell stories of the suffering of Lyme Disease patients, not only personal

suffering, but the indignity of the medical professionals who ignore us thus

causing more suffering, permanent damage and even death. As a Lyme patient

since 1993 I would have loved to have information and the courage that this book

gives you to be your own advocate and keep searching.

This book tells you to never give up. It tells you where and how to seek help.

I recommend this book to anyone who is chronically ill so they may learn how of

help themselves or others who need an advocate. It also gives caregivers an

understanding of this devastating disease. We aren't crazy, we are sick and

need help.

This book needs to be in every library including medical school libraries. I

think it should be required reading for anyone who wants to become a doctor. It

covers all aspects-the undiagnosed ,the very ill patient and most importantly

the political arena surrounding not only Lyme Disease - but other illnesses that

are " given to us " whether it fits or not.

My sincerest thanks to all who have contributed to the excellent writing of this

book. It is very easy to understand. I found myself in every story told. Most

of all, I know that I am not alone in my battle with Lyme Disease.

Sincerely living daily with Lyme Disease,

Willem, Breaking the Vicious Cycle from Elaine Gloria Gottschall

contains too much unprovable and dangerous bullshit, much like

Bee Wilder's infomation on the group that is

derived from it. I've critiqued the most dangerous part of the

SCD appoach on my updated inulin page as follows, and proven it

with copious references also on my site. If you get into the

research at all you'll see that SCD adherents have no leg to

stand on.

What About Elaine Gottschall's Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)?

The SCD enshrines a fundamental ignorance of the difference

between FOS and inulin fractions and their specific prebiotic

Thank you for the concern Duncan.

I don't agree with shredding a system that seems to be helping people

because of her ignorance on inulin.

Referring only to her book on Breaking the Vicious Cycle...I thought

there was a decent amount of research leading a person to consider the

Lately I've been more aware of my reactions to foods before going on

the SCD for long term. I'd like to try out the system for a week and

then one month and see how I feel when I come out of it.

As maybe forgotten already there are many people who found the SCD

helpful to them.

I can see how your confusion arose, but I don't think I shred a

whole " system " as you call it; indeed, my critique only shed light on

one of two very simple but very important inaccuracies in the

Gottschall approach, in this case the ignorance of the crucially

important role inulin plays in bowel ecology. I think because I have

more scientific evidence than she had when she wrote it, and I

provided references where she did not, that revision is inevitable.

So, if that key point I illuminated happens to be foundational to

the " system " , the rest of the system may well collapse under it's own

weight when it's removed. No foundation, no support.

But revision of an old book should not present a problem; it's a

natural process to root out mistakes, and revision is obviously much

healthier in a health book than no revision.

Duncan

Elaine Gottschall, because she failed to mention inulin in her book

ten years ago has orchestrated some corrupt dogma?

Matsen wrote a decent diet book many years ago titled Eating

Alive. He later updated his regime, system, diet to include chelation

as he found a number of patients would relapse if they were mercury

toxic. As this is just one example authors in this field are revising

all the time. Maybe Elaine will have discovered inulin by now and find

people can cut the year-long plan in half with prebiotics.

Many people are apparently being helped by the Carb Specific

Diet...why should this be a crumbling system.

I question your motives in this site.

Willem, I think Elaine died but the unfinished work lives on as a

dogma because she can't finish it. Given the data we have today she

pobably would re-incorporate inulin into her advice (and the whey too)

OK Duncan, enough is enough. I, and many others, have been cured

without ever hearing the word inulin. You sell inulin and use this

board to promote yourself and products you sell. Inulin as a

prebiotic may be an interesting development but it is not a

medical/scientific fact. It is a theory based upon an interpretation

of information.

Moreover, I would encourage those who use this board to understand

the candida yeast problem, proceed with caution when considering

advice that attempts to micromanage your affliction.

In fact, most of it can be ignored. Eat a No sugar low carbo high

protein diet, take anti-fungal supplements and probiotics, a good

multivitamin, and exercise and you will likely be cured.

Keep it simple, but be very strict on the diet. And don't think this

will take a long time. After the intitial days of die-off, you will

start to heal and feel better.

Hi SJM,

Congratulations and VERY WELL DONE for curing your candida!

Did you drink kefir or eat yogurt as part of your healing?

What were the probiotic and anti-fungal supplements you used?

Thanks & Love,

Pamela

Actually smkahoo, it's the other way around.

The SCD micromanages, one could say, because it goes to great

lengths to cure without addressing a proven dietary deficiency

that has been acknowledged to be the cause of the bowel illness.

The SCD also micromanages because taking a probiotic pill and

antifungals shouldn't be required.

An exception might be systemic mycosis; in that case, sure, take

antifungals.

I think you should take another look at the research; you'll see

my case for addressing deficiency is is air-tight. Replacing the

deficient item is only fundamental to health. Far from

micromanagement, it's a VERY basic appoach, and one that we would

take for ANY deficiency.

Could you explain how you arrived at you reasoning that

addressing a deficiency of a foundational food component is

micromanagement?

Hi Willem;

I don't mind telling everyone that my motives are to help as many

people as I can. Obviously, I don't have to post on the Internet

for free, and for thousands to read, all the valuable information

I could bill for in any other circumstance; heck, I freely gave

you the same information even though you don't seem to like me.

In this way I can reach, and teach, many thouands of people

couldn't afford a consultation ayway, while billing for only

about 10% of my billable office time, just enough to get by on.

No ulterior motive there.

My commision on inulin amounts to about $15 per month, based

solely on sales to people who value my input enough to bother to

something off my site instead of someone else's. I'm grateful,

and so are they, but it's not even enough to maintain the inulin

page of my rather extensive site, and inulin and bowel health are

not the only topics I do, and candidiasis is not the only group I

do it for. I force nobody, and they can buy from whomever they

want. I actually made more money selling my own long-chain inulin

and standing in line at the post office to mail it ;)

No ulterior motive there either.

Any more questions, Willem, and I'd be glad to answer them.

Everyone, I've updated a page similar to my main inulin

references page, changed the wording to make it specifically

applicable to the question of the glaring omission of inulin in

the protocols and Gottschall's specific carbohydrate diet

(SCD). To be fair, I did acknowledge that both Elaine Gottschall

and Hulda would probably have included the new inulin

information in their programs had they known about it, and put

the blame for the suffocating dogma squarely on the shoulders of

the dogmatists rather than on the unfinished works in progress of

these esteemed health practitioners.

http:members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_probiotic.html

As you can see, the data speaks for itself, even to Willem.

No, perhaps you misunderstood again Willem that I mean the dogma

is perpetuated not by the unfinished work but by the cult that

follows any unfinished work without revising it as newer data

emerges..... I think it's a fair statement.

I think I answered that -- it's not the whole system that's

crumbling, but any work in progress that contains glaring

omissions should be subject to revision, and normally is, but is

NOT once the dogmatists claim and preach it. It would be

tatamount to heresy to them, something like revising the Old

Testament to include the " Lost Book Of Enki " . Check it out.

Duncan you have misinterpreted my criticism. I made no mention

of " SCD " so using them as a straw man is not usful to the point I

was making. My warning about micromanaging candida treatment is to

keep those who are trying to beat this problem focused on the simple

things they must do. I have seen the trend among those who post here

that they are looking, with some assistance, for a combination of

quick fixes unique to them when the main emphasis should be on the

correct diet and common supplements.

AS for replacing a " deficiency " , and I'm assuming it is inulin that

you are making a case for, it would be pure conjecture, and not

scientific fact that a deficiency might exist.

Your argument would be more persuasive if you did not also, by

chance, sell inulin.

Calling Hulda an " esteemed health practitioner " should

disqualify you from offering any advise to anyone. In fact, after

reading that I would say that your complimenting yourself on your

offering of " free " advise on this board is exactly what it's worth.

The offerings of Hulda are a total fraud. Curing cancer AND

AIDS. It would be funny if not for the fact that some probably

believe her.

Additionally, it is beyond presumptious to claim that they would

have include your interpretation of inulin, if they could.

Tell us more about how Hulda cures AIDS?

I should have made the point of inulin deficiency more clearly;

if you missed it, so could have many others.

Research shows the average consumption of inulin in the diet in

North America and presumably at least some other developed

countries is between about 2.6 to 3.6 grams daily, and in other

work the researchers pegged optimal probiotic growth at a daily

intake in the range of about 12-15 grams. Further, other research

shows that the threshold of measurable probiotic increase due to

inulin consumption starts at about five grams PER DOSE.

These points and the inulin references behind them are revealed

in Tungland's review, posted here:

http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_review.html

This is hardly conjecture.

I'm satisfied that the above information reveals a probable

dietary deficiency in many people. One can indeed guess the

ballpark of the deficiency by taking a cursory look at diet. And

the proof is revealed by the outcome of practical application;

taking inulin broth, as has been practiced medically for about

5,000 years in China, and 2,000 years in Europe, has been one of

the most helpful things that people with bowel disorders have

experienced.

I agree that quick fixes are not what is required, but attending

to deficiency including inulin deficiency is a no-brainer. I

don't care if they eat the " several servings " of high-inulin

Calling Hulda a " total fraud " without offering a smattering

of proof reveals much more about the writer than about .

I don't think such comments belong on any discussion board. I'm

sure the moderator of this one would agree, and I'm quite

confident that she has already contacted you on this point.

Someone once posted that H. was a fraud on 50Plus

magazine's discussion board; her lawyers soon contacted the mag,

proposing a lawsuit, and 50Plus understandably purged the post in

less than 24 hours.

And, as HIV treatment discussion is beyond the scope of this

group, as well as not having tried the approach on it

myself, It would be unfair to offer an opinion. Are you in a

position to judge, based on your failure to eradicate it? If so

you, I'd advise that you join the ozonetherapy group and beck-n-

stuff.

Until Hulda PROVES her claim of curing AIDS and cancer she can

be considered a total fraud. It is her obligation to prove what she

claims!

Further, your own credibilty seems more questionable than ever. You

first suggest that I not mention this on this board (Hulda is

refered to on this board as relates to candida and is fair game) and

then, in support of , introduce the notion that I might be

sued. Hulda CLark is a fraud, as is anybody who supports her, and I

welcome a call from her lawyer.

So Duncan, because you have not tried 's approach to AIDS you

are witholding judjement? You also suggest that my criticism of

might be based on my failure to eradicate AIDS myself. What a

low class attempt to stigmatize me. One need not have AIDS to offer

opinions about those who claim to cure it.

Your invitation to the moderator of this board to question me is

also interesting. You don't like people asking questions about your

advise, why?

TO the moderator I would say that it is my interest to protect

people from frauds, and others who would take advantage of those

trying to solve a medical problem. My comments about ,and you,

are to prevent people on this board from taking advise that might

not be in their interest.

You are on a timeout for the moment.

I am sure you will be upset, but for now, it is the best for the group

as a whole.

Please do not email people offline to argue your points for now...just

please chill out!!!

" My comments about ,and you,

are to prevent people on this board from taking advise that might

not be in their interest. "

I am a new member of this very helpful and interesting board and have a question

for you...Who died and made you my guardian? I haven't asked for and don't want

your meddling into what is or isn't in my interest. Thank you, anyway. And I

don't think Duncan was even vaguely attempting to stigmatize you. Worry about

yourself and stop trying to " save " others. As far as I know, poor Dr. is

dead and can't defend herself or her protocols. Some of which are effective and

fascinating.

Respectfully,

Beverle

Re one of my heros, Hulda , she was a researh scientist working

at IU and was bothered by a type of herpes that afflicted her eyes.

She went to an alternative medic who used amino acid combinations in a

treatment that brought her relief. She was so impressed that she

continued his work in this area. The fruits of her labor led to her

work in the area of HIV and AIDS. She has written an entire book on

that subject. The price of her books is not high and they are packed

with information. As with all books on alternative health, as new

findings are uncovered, information in the books can become obsolete.

So I would not read the aforementioned book, without also reading her

latest book, The Prevention of All Cancers. And I would extract what

works for you in conjunction with everything you know already about

keeping yourself healthy. If you never read another of my posts

because Hulda is my hero, then so be it. But I have to tell you that

I find that the " cut off your nose to spite your face " attitude sad,

when the alternative is to reap whatever truth you can from all the

findings available and merely leave what doesn't work behind.

Hulda has no doubt made some very questionable claims, but

that doesn't mean everything she has said must be discarded. Some of

her cleanses have been very helpful to many people.
