Can Bee Stings Treat Lyme Disease?

Can Bee Stings Treat Lyme Disease?

Treatments for chronic Lyme disease are controversial and expensive. As a last resort, some patients are pursuing this unproven and painful alternative.
BY KATY VINE
DATE NOV 20, 2019

When Tricia Gschwind pulled up to a Whataburger along I-35 in Round Rock one morning last May, she wasn’t craving a breakfast platter. She was there to make an exchange. “I never bought drugs at a Whataburger,” she said, easing into a parking space. “I assume this is what that’s like.”

Gschwind (pronounced GISH-wind) stepped out of her car, straightening her royal blue cat-eye sunglasses as strands of her hair flitted in the breeze. She recognized a Toyota SUV that arrived some thirty seconds later. A graying beekeeper in a polo shirt approached. His name was Jim Colbert, and after a quick hello, they got right down to business. Into Gschwind’s hands he delicately placed two four-inch-long wooden palettes—imagine tiny, mesh-covered mancala boards—each holding about fifty live honeybees, buzzing softly.“I guess this is drone season,” Gschwind said, alluding to the previous batch of bees she’d purchased from him, which had included some stinger-less males. Gschwind needed bees that could sting. “Is that why it’s not unusual for me to find so many drones in the mix?” (See link for full article)

Another patient, Deb, has regained her health due to Bee Venomon Therapy (BVT):

 “I’m getting my life back. I have control of my healing. Best of all my sense of humor is restored. This feels great. If I can get better in mere months of treatment, anyone can!”  

And:

“This is a highly effective form of treatment which most any patient can afford. I was spending $32/month for my mail order bees and treating at home.”

Anti-Inflammatories Help Major Depression

Anti-Inflammatories Help Major Depression

New study suggests that anti-inflammatories can mitigate MDD symptoms

Posted Nov 11, 2019

Odelya Gertel Kraybill Expressive Trauma Integration

A new study* published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry asserts the efficacy of anti-inflammatories in treating major depression. This adds to the mounting evidence that there is a connection between emotional functioning and inflammation.

An increasing number of studies have shown that depression and/or bipolar disorder are accompanied by immune system dysregulation, inflammation, and high levels of cytokines. Researchers have found that inflammation triggers depression, almost like an allergic reaction.  (See link for full article)

**Comment**

More and more is coming out on the role inflammation plays in chronic disease states and Lyme/MSIDS is no acceptation. These patients are full of inflammation and addressing that inflammation is an important aspect of treatment.  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/11/18/link-between-inflammation-mental-sluggishness-shown-how-msm-systemic-enzymes-and-melatonin-can-help/

Of course, the first step is to address the pathogens which are causing this, the second step is to aid the body in detoxifying these pathogens, and the third step is to support the body by supplementing with the things our bodies are deficient in – which varies from person to person. But, the last factor is this addressing the burgeoning inflammation caused by the war brought on by pathogens.

Here are some things that have helped me in my journey.  I pray they help someone else out there as well.

(Please read about melatonin in the first link under the comment section.  Melatonin is particularly good for the brain as it not only reduces inflammation but it protects the blood-brain barrier.)

For examples of effective Lyme disease treatment: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/category/lyme-disease-treatment/  Please remember Lyme is the tip of the spear and patients are often coinfected with numerous pathogens all requiring different medications.  This is why effective treatment is overlapping in nature and given for a much longer duration than a few weeks.  This fact has not been accepted and embraced by mainstream medicine and until it is, patients are required to be treated by ILADS trained professionals who understand this complex illness.  For a great video on this:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/11/21/cdc-misses-the-mark-with-chronic-lyme-disease/

A father who was bedbound by Lyme disease is finally back on his feet due to a drug for alcoholism.

Ciaran Hughes, 31, developed “constant” pain, “laboured” movement and a loss of balance in March while working in Indonesia.

Multiple tests both abroad and in his native Northern Ireland came back clear, including one for Lyme disease…(See full story in link above)

Excerpt:  Disulfiram should certainly be prescribed with caution or avoided in patients with personal and familial antecedents of psychosis. Case reports are, however, not enough to guarantee the safety of a drug. Studies at larger scales are necessary. Some questions still remain unanswered.

Non-Toxic Tips From the Experts: Clean Up Mold and Residual Spores

https://files.constantcontact.com/5a4b6d10101/7c932321-c83c-4e51-bb60-5bc9a673ca54.pdf

Time to clean up Mold and residual spores in your home? Non-Toxic Tips from the experts.

Mold Remediation Strategy of Dr. Lee Cowden -recommended to us by Dr. Doug Phillips

A USA board-certified cardiologist and internist who is internationally known for his knowledge and skill in practicing and teaching integrative medicine. He has co-authored many books and articles on integrative medicine and has pioneered successful treatments of cancer, autism, Lyme disease and many other illnesses.

Procedure for Space that has been physically remediated- after all the water leaks are resolved and the mold contaminated building materials are replaced with new uncontaminated building materials.

Use the Concentrate Liquid EC3 in the Portable Fogger to kill mold in the air of a building AFTER you have resolved all the water and environmental issues.

CONCENTRATED MOLD SOLUTION EC3- Non-Toxic Extract

Portable Hand Held FOGGER

If the building has 8 rooms-

  • use about 2 ounces of the concentrate sprayed into each room.
  • A little more than 2 ounces for the big rooms and a little less than 2 ounces for small rooms.
  • If more than 8 rooms, you probably need to buy more than one bottle of the Concentrate.
  • All Closet Doors must be open in each room when fogging with the Ec3 concentrate.

Several Hours Later-

  • After fogging is complete, run a portable HEPA /Charcoal Filter in the house for a few days.
  • Moving it from room to room, but NOT in the bedroom where people are sleeping at night.

At the Academy we use the Austin Air Filter Health Mate Plus – a good quality Hepa/Charcoal Filter

Quite and effective- easy to move and fits well in our space.

Dr. Cowdens recommended unit – Guardian Hepa Filter

If the area continues to have issues-

  • At the Academy we like the Air Reactor by HITech Air Solutions for areas that need constant mold, fungus, virus, clearning. Especially areas where you cannot remediate fully, in basements, warehouses, school gymnasiums, etc.
  • This unit is used by many sport teams to keep equipment free of shared germs.
  • The machine is run 24/7 or when you know you will be in the room you can run it in advance.
  • If a burning smell happens when you first use it, that is positive as it is neutralizing the toxins, and make a smell during the reaction taking place. Give it time to work.
  • Please also use binders, as those with mold and fungal infections can also experience a die off reaction at first.
  • Keep windows closed for best outcome.Ordered directly from the HiTech Air Solutions(See link above for pictures of machines and more information)
