The following paragraphs are an old post. Please see the updated and more detailed version of this article on my blog:
http://www.healthsalon.org/505/cure-chronic-lyme/

I am posting this information for anyone with an interest regarding Lyme. I do not sell any products. This informaiton has come to me through my discussions with a doctor who says he is successfully treating lyme disease. Please evaluate any treatment plan and self determine if it is appropriate for you.

My soul purpose is to just get the information out there.

Initially I had a link for the enzymes discribed in this post. Since my initial investigation the company (Marco Pharma) that makes the enzymes has changed their product line. When I can find a similar product I will post it. In either case I have provided the exact amount and type of enzymes necessary so you could replicate the protocol with a different product.
..................

Lyme, an alternative protocol

This may be important information for those with Chronic Lyme or who have no insurance and no way to pay for conventional Lyme treatment. Always, if you can, see a Lyme literate physician.

That being said, I would get a good diagnosis and treat myself as many with chronic Lyme do.

I have a close friend who has had chronic Lyme for over 20 years without knowing it. He remembers having a bull’s eye rash many years ago followed by flu like symptoms that resolved. Currently he sees a Naturopathic Medical Doctor who is Lyme literate. He has been treated extensively with IV therapy yet the disease persists even though his last IV treatments did him well for just over 2 years.

His doctor, who is Lyme literate and spends much time attending seminars and treating Lyme patients has started to use a new protocol to dissolve the Lyme cyst that is the cause of chronic Lyme. Destroying the cyst has always been the main issue with treating chronic Lyme, as it is believed that the cysts are buried deep in tendons and other dense tissues and literally hides from treatments. As far as they know no antibiotic has been able to penetrate the cyst so long antibiotic therapies have been required to keep killing the spirochete until all the cysts deteriorate on their own. This has proven to be years for some and for others no cure has been possible.

The new protocol to dissolve the cysts follows and must be done in a very specific way and can be used in conjunction with other Lyme treatments, including conventional antibiotics.

My neighbor’s recent flair of Lyme was not nearly as severe as his previous episode so they decided to treat at home without IVs. They used Samento Tincture, (TAO free), Lyme Nosode, (a homeopathic preparation), and Colloidal Silver. The new part of the protocol that breaks open the cyst is high-powered digestive enzymes. It is essential to destroy the cyst then hit it hard with your antibiotic or whatever antimicrobial treatment you are using to kill the bacteria as soon as they pour out of the cyst and before they can form new cysts. If cysts remain in the body eventually they will break open and your infection starts to surge again as the microbes spill out and start replicating and forming new cysts.

This treatment has been effective for him this time around. I have not been able, nor his physician to get him to continue with this for long term. He gets sick of doing treatments. After about a week of treatment the herx reactions abated. I would think that doing the enzymes on a routine basis with an antimicrobial will eventually get all the cysts and prevent new ones from forming and further episodes of acute illness. I think it could take quite a while and it would be difficult to know exactly when to stop without an accurate diagnostic tool.

The doctor that prescribed this treatment for him uses a dark field live blood analysis microscope to diagnose the cyst and I have seen the photos of them. He is now 10 months post his last treatment protocol and he is doing well.

A couple of months ago I had the opportunity to meet my friends doctor. His name is Dr West of the www.thewestclinic.com (http://www.thewestclinic.com) in Pocatello, Idaho. He seemed delighted and enthused to tell me what he has discovered about Lyme though his practice. As I said, he has a dark field live blood analysis microscope in his office. This test is non-billable through insurance because the device is not FDA approved for diagnostics.

He showed me many photos of the Lyme spirochete and how it is affected by the use of antibiotic drugs. The drugs actually push the organism to change forms. Eventually it goes into what is called the cyst form that is initially started when the spirochete literally grabs its tail and forms a circle. In time it encapsulates itself and within this cyst reproduction ensues. I saw photos from more advanced electron microscopes that showed the cyst loaded with smaller spirochetes.

Doctor West told me that Dark Field Live Blood Analysis is the only form of diagnosis that is reliable for Lyme. Many false negatives are obtained from the other tests as the immune system fluctuates in its ability to fight the microbes and in so doing the antigens that come from this fight fluctuate. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not. For some patients many tests were required to pick up on the antigens and then when they do the question always remains, was the test right in light of all the previous negatives.

I saw slides that presented up to 20 cysts in one sample under the scope. After a series of treatments the cysts had been reduced to only 2 or 3. Eventually that patient cured.


It is interesting to note that some Lyme Literate doctors still do not believe that there is cyst formation in Lyme disease. I have seen photos of the cyst with two different advanced microscopes. The photo of the cyst from the electron microscope clearly showed spirochetes inside the cyst. It is time for these doctors to wake up and look at the evidence. Find the research by Professor Robert W Bradford and Henry W Allen, The article is entitled "Lyme Disease, Potential Plague of the 21stCentury. Detection Problems Resolved by Imaging with the Bradford Variable Projection High Resolution Microscope" – copy write Bradford Research Institute. The article can be found in the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients - January 2005


Often co-infections reside with Lyme disease. I cannot speak about co-infections at this time. I do know that traditional antibiotics sometimes cure co-infections, often they do not. Some Lyme cases do not present with co-infections. Some people are also immune to Lyme disease. They neither carry it nor get sick from it. Now to find out what they have that the rest of the people do not would be something!

The core of the home treatment is TAO free Samento, colloidal silver and a strong enzyme product.

I suspect that MMS may be substituted for the colloidal silver and Samento.



When MMS was discussed instead of using Samento or colloidal silver my friend called his physician to ask about the possibility. His physician looked into MMS and found it to be the same chemical that he uses to treat Lyme via IV application, except in that application it remains sodium chlorite and is not activated to chlorine dioxide. He had not yet heard of the oral applications of sodium chlorite/chlorine dioxide and he decided after reading information on it that it probably would work just as well as the Samento in conjunction with the enzyme therapy. He told my friend to go ahead and try it. By the time this recommendation was made my friend had been on the samento/colloidal silver for about one week. He did the last few days of treatment with MMS and enzymes, although the herx phase of his treatment had already passed so it was difficult to assess what happened with the MMS.

What is known is that mms is a powerful anti-microbial and anti-parasitic and is especially powerful in blood born disease. Because many people have used MMS to try to treat their Lyme and have found it partially effective, in other words reduction of symptoms and increase of strength, I would assume that it could work. The downfall with MMS, as with so many other Lyme treatments, is that it does not beak open the cyst.

The enzyme part of the protocol is essential and cannot be bypassed. I suspect that some other enzyme products may also dissolve the cyst including Serrapeptase but at this time I have no antidotal evidence.

The Enzyme product Dr West uses is called Marcozyme from Marco Pharma Int.
Roseburg, Oregon 97470

I do not know the cost of this product.

They are very high powered enzymes and one dose for Lyme, 5 capsules/tablets equals:
Amalayse 27,500 usp
Protease 26,500 usp
Lipase 5,700 usp

These are very high dosages of enzymes and I think you may need physician assistance or someone licensed such as a nurse to help you purchase this product directly from them. But there is nothing to stop you from finding another similar product with a good reputation and taking enough to match the dosage. A product called called Nutriteck Poly Enzyme Plus should be able to do the work. Make sure what ever product you choose that the dosage you take at least covers the dosage I listed above for each dose you take. The Marcozyme product has been doctor recommended and if I could I would stick with that because it has been tested in this application.
http://marcopharma.com/pro-products/
www.nutriteck.com/polyenzyme.html (http://www.nutriteck.com/polyenzyme.html) but this is a powder formula and I think I would prefer a capsule for ease of use and transportability.
]

Do not take these enzyme products if you have gastritis or ulcers. Heal that condition first.

These enzymes are for dissolving the cyst and it is essential to come in and take exactly one hour after taking the enzymes your antimicrobial or antibiotic to clean up all the pathogens that have been released from the digested cyst.

The protocol is to take no food for 2 hours.
Take 5 enzyme pills (of Marcozyme, dosage may be different with another product), which deliver the above stated amount of enzymes.
Wait one hour – set a timer.
Take samento or mms
If using only samento take your colloidal silver now also.
Do this twice a day.
Do not eat for two hours after the enzymes. Set a timer again.
You want these enzymes to be circulating in your blood not digesting your last meal.


Use the samento tincture with the colloidal silver or use the MMS for killing the bacteria that the cyst will release when it is broken.

For samento tincture: start with two drops in a little water. If your microbe load is large you may feel sick after taking it. This is a detox. Take 2 drops for your next dose if you tolerated the first OK. As you become able to tolerate your dosage increase by one drop with each dose. If you can't tolerate a dosage increase do not do it. Take the last dosage that you could reasonably tolerate. Work up to 15 drops two times a day one hour after the enzymes. If you are using samento this is also the time to take the colloidal silver. Take at least one ounce of colloidal silver.

ASAP and Mesosilver are two products that naturopaths tend to carry. NutraSilver is another good choice and it is the product of choice by those MDs who treat Morgellon’s disease due to its powerful action.

To learn about the new protocol applications for MMS go to www.jimhumble.biz (http://www.jimhumble.biz)
Three doses a day are no longer recommended as per the original protocol. Smaller more frequent dosages are tolerated better and seem to work well. For Lyme I would increase as described for the Samento, as tolerated, up to 15 drops for your two dosages a day preceded by enzymes. You should take more MMS though the day as it is pretty clear that MMS is only active in the body for no more than two hours. I would want MMS in the body continually even if it was a smaller dose like 4 or 6 drops every two hours, but continue to work up in dosage for those doses that are preceded by enzymes. No definitive protocol with MMS for Lyme has yet been developed. Many people are currently working on it. Many people who use MMS herx pretty strongly with just a couple of drops. Others work up to 15 drops rather quickly. It is unclear if it is just the Lyme creating the herx or if there are other variable toxic issues the MMS is also clearing that any individual may have that is coinciding with their Lyme. MMS may be the medicine of choice if you are really financially strapped, as it is much less expensive than samento tincture and Colloidal Silver.

Note: Since writing this article Macro Pharma seems to have changed its product line. I am seeking to contact them. Any enzyme product that is of the same potency should do the work. You do not want to take Hydrochlorid acid between meals so avoid products that contain HCL.

Thanks Arrowwind. They deny the existence of Lyme disease in Australia.....despite the facts that people have sent samples to the states for testing and come back +ve for the disease and many people present with exact same symptoms here as everywhere else. I am sure this will assist those of us down under.

There is evidence that Lyme was created in a lab. I'll see if I can find the source.

Dr. Stephen H. Buhner, Healing Lyme, says the Cat's Claw does not have to be TOA free. He also mentions several other herbs he uses successfully.

Andrographis paniculata
Japanese Knotweed
Astragalus
Smilax

These are the core of his protocol. Artemisinin is also effective for co-infections under the Lyme umbrella.

He corroborates all you have posted.

Thanks!

Thanks so much. I had posted this article to a NY Lyme forum on yahoo and they double whammed slammed me for doing it... go figure.

I just edited the article with a note at the bottom. Please feel free to post this on any forum that will be ammendable to it.

I think Bill should go and interview these doctors as this condtion is part of the money making and extermination plan.. this information could serve millions, and especially note that most multiple sclerosis cases are Lyme.

best,

I have been saddened this week to learn of the death of Dr Henry West Jr. who was the doctor who spent considerable hours with me teaching me about the work he did in his practice this past fall for a book that I am working on. He has provided for many, compassionate and open hearted service. He is also the doctor who taught me about the above Lyme disease protocol with enzymes. His son Jason will continue with the West Clinic providing the same excellent quality of care.

We have lost a great man dedicated to all aspects of natural healing and healthcare innovation.

Here is his life's story.

I had Lyme Disease . .. . . repeat had it. I suffered through years of misdiagnoses and more years of unsuccessful conventional treatment after I was finally diagnosed with Lyme. I finally had the sense to go back to my roots of herbal and homeopathic medicine and successfully treated a deeply embedded Lyme along with 3 other parasitical and/or tick borne bacterias and virus.

The process was long and the protocol had to be adjusted as symptoms came and went but I have not relapsed in 8 years and so I feel I finally got rid of it completely.

I agree wholeheartedly with the enzymes and the herbs that conk mentioned. I feel the main success of my healing though was using a home brewed “Essiac Tea”. To the main four ingredients of this tea I always added Cat’s Claw and then other ingredients would be added to the brew as my symptoms either waned or intensified. Other herbs were used to manage other symptoms and to build the immune system in a very particular way.

Lyme will deeply embed in your liver and other vital organs and will “hide out” when other more conventional treatments are used and then will manifest even with more aggression when you are at your weakest. The trick is to keep an extremely detoxed system and keeping the “environment” unsuitable for the Lyme for an extended amount of time . . . . this varies with the person and with how deeply it has invaded your system.

The process is not complicated but it does require a persistent treatment over time. The more time between relapses means you’re winning until (like me) the illness is gone.

Arrowwind the information you have presented is solid but I have to feel I really need to caution on one aspect. Most (like me) who suffer with Lyme for many years have extremely weakened and delicate body systems. I would caution that products like mms and other heroic treatment be used with great care or not at all. This is where the Essiac Tea came in to my treatment. Yes, I know and have read all the literature and Jim Humble books but I will always stand solid that mms is not for everyone and you pretty much have to have a very strong constitution to use mms and some certain tinctures.

I hesitate to say this but I have helped others through the process. If there is enough interest I will post a more detailed explanation of the protocol I used. If anything I would like to give those who are suffering with Lyme hope and to say I am an example along with around 18 others I have seen defeat this very nasty illness.

I have communicated with a number of people who have used MMS for lyme over the last 4 years. For some the detox is rough, for others they moved up in dosage very fast with out strong herx. I suspect that some people may have other detox issues going on aside from the Lyme but surely some are herxing from the Lyme itself.

Since protocols 1000 and 2000 have been developed for MMS people do better.
There are a number of people out there who use MMS for lyme. They know it kills the microbe but they also know that it does not cure. This is likely the missing piece to the puzzle for them.

MMS has been effective in controlling the symptoms for some.. Some could not tolerate the detox. The protocol I offer is with Samento, cats claw, similar to what you used blufire, (and with colloidal silver)or potentially MMS if they wish to try it.

I do not consider MMS a heroic effort. It has saved countless lives of many with terrible diseases and it clearly kills blood born bacteria and parasites.. People just need to learn how to use it correctly. In essence it is used exacly as the samento tincture. it is the medicine for folks who have no money and there are a bunch of them aound these days. Samento must be used with colloidal silver in this protocol. The treatment protocol with samento has been proven through dark field live blood analysis. Lyme nosode is used with it to help build the body's immune system.

Each case must be evaluated individually to determine what other issues need to be addressed and other products or supplements may be required.

I am not at all convinced that cysts hide out. This is merely hypothesis and I have never seen any proof that cysts hide out. Many doctors dont even believe that they exits but that is because they dont know how to look for them. But hiding out? That has not been proven. I am convinced that they are nearly indestructable though for an average human being. I have no reason to believe that samento or colloidal silver or MMS cannot enter deep tissues either.. The fact of the matter is that they do not adequately destroy cysts and hence the life cycle of the spirochete remains uninterrupted if no adquate antibiotic is not present in the body when they rupture. If you have any proof that they "hide out" I would like to see it.

Dr West showed me evidence with photographic work of live blood analysis in some rather severe cases of lyme with over 10 cysts per slide before treatment and none when treatment is done.. It really should not take any more that 6 to 8 weeks to fully cure. The absolute length of time to cure is not known. It may be even shorter and for others maybe a bit longer. More observation is needed to get clear on this.

Of course samento, Cats Claw, has been effective for a number of lyme folks if they take it long enough and if the spirochete has not built a resistence to it. No evidence has been seen that cats claw in and of itself will destroy the cyst. .. that is via dark field live blood analysis, the only way to know for sure if a cyst is present or not.

The crux of the matter in chronic lyme is breaking down the cyst and killing the bacteria as it spills out. This is essential.

Since most treatments, I would venture to say, all treatments, do not break open the cyst, when cures come it is because the patient has been diligent in keeping up their antibacterial medicine, what ever it might be. This is why it takes up to a year or more to cure some lyme cases.. the antibiotic must be present when the cyst gets around to spontaneously rupturing so that the pathogens it spills out can be killed. .. often long durations in treatment are required because because the spirochete becomes resistant to the chosen medicine.

All it takes is one lapse in an antimicrobial and then to have a cyst break open to have the lyme cycle to start again.

My friend who did the enzyme protocol ( a 20 plus year lyme survivor) had his blood examined again last month and no spirochetes and no cysts were found. It has been 18 months that he has been well but just recently got another blood exam and he is considered cured now of Lyme.

Dr West has been treating this disease for a long time. Depending on how sick people are will set the stage for other treatments to build the immune system etc. He also uses homeaopathics, supplements and IV nutrients if needed. For really sick people a full body analysis is required to assess the damage and plan a protocol to healing. Many people should be able to do this treament as a home protocol themselves though, but of course it is best to have the assist of a naturopathic doc who can do dark field live blood analysis and provide other powerful nutrients and body buiding regimens as needed, if needed....

many people have little to no options as they are sick and have no money and they are endeavoring to treat themselves at home, alone, for their disease has bankrupted them.

The post I put up here on Lyme is an older version. Please go to this following page to read the updated info. It includes films and more discussion on how to diagnose lyme, and from that is implied the methods to monitor progress of treatment... The only 100% accurate diagnosis of lyme is with a dark field live blood analysis. The rest is BS and is cause for misdiagnosis of many diseases that are truly lyme and not other things.

I suffered from chronic Lyme disease a number of years ago, after months of antibiotic treatments I was treated by a brave alternative physician who has been hounded by the AMA for years . The successful treatment was intravenous OZONE THERAPY which is basically outlawed by the medical establishment ,I have to assume because it is not patentable and they cannot make their millions from it.

I suffered from chronic Lyme disease a number of years ago, after months of antibiotic treatments I was treated by a brave alternative physician who has been hounded by the AMA for years . The successful treatment was intravenous OZONE THERAPY which is basically outlawed by the medical establishment ,I have to assume because it is not patentable and they cannot make their millions from it.

I commend you and your doctor. Yes, ozone therapy can cure Lyme disease. Ozone will erradicate the cyst I believe also but I would like to see that proven out with dark field live blood analysis... but alas ozone therapy is not readily availabe to the masses. I am certified in ozone therapy but I choose to educate on the enzyme protocol more as it is something almost anyone can do with out a doctors assistance if they really need to and of course at a fraction of the cost.

One thing I would also like to mention about Lyme disease is that is is sexually transmitted at times.. just like syphilus. Partners should be checked for lyme via dark field live blood analysis. It would not even hurt them to do the protocol along with their mates even if they cannot access tests.

I will also mention that just because the dark field live blood analysis does not show any lyme cysts or spirochetes it does not mean that there are not there. More study is needed. There still could be a couple that did not enter into the visual field during the test. It will likely be a percentages game evaluation.. 10 cysts per side on initation of treatment, 4 cysts per slide after 4 weeks of treatment... 1 cyst per slide after 8 weeks of treatment... then most likely the disease is erradicated at 12 weeks... this is purely hypothetical though! Please understand this.

Dr West, who told me of the enzyme protocol utilizes the ozone in his office for other treatments but he did not use it for lyme. You may be interested to know that there are a new class of ozone generators now that produce 06, 08, possilbly 012... as opposed to just 03. I dont have the full details yet. It is way more powerful that regular ozone and they are doing some amazing vascular congestion work with it.

Can you elaborate on how the ozone was administered to you for Lyme disease and how many treatments that you had?


More and more ozone doctors/practitioners are even turning against the body of ozone practitioners that set standards for ozone therapy who have outlawed direct ozone injections. Many doctors are now believing that direct IV injection is safe and effective when used correctly. I know of several doctors in a number of states that practice this....from medical docotors to NDs. Even within the circles of ozone therapy there is contention about where the truth lies. Personally if I had Lyme, HIV, Hep C I would do direct IV injections of ozone, but then again I already have the costly equipment.

I would sure like to hear about he protocol your doctor used!

Blufire, I'd be very interested in all the details you care to share. I am recovering from lyme disease.
