Anxiety

Suffering with anxiety while fighting MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome) can be debilitating.  I remember the days when my husband would literally start shaking while talking with people.  He never knew when it would strike.  He could be having lunch with a sales rep or standing in the foyer of someone’s home.  He dreaded it, and I felt completely helpless.  He is completely free of anxiety after three years of treatment.  And while I feel treatment is truly the answer, there are often things we have to do to assist our bodies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQS3oPTgDmM  Published on Apr 23, 2015  Could diet and nutrition be central determinants of mental health? Find out when Trudy Scott, CN, provides evidence presented at The Anxiety Summit, seasons 1 and 2, which has showcased vitally important research now available to integrative practitioners and to people who suffer with anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety and OCD. The gut-brain connection and microbiome, methylation, adverse effects of benzodiazapines, the role of inflammation, and controversial opinions about serotonin, GABA and urinary neurotransmitter testing are a few of the concepts that will be shared.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wP1xFcXFZo  Published on Feb 21, 2014  “Using Targeted Individual Amino Acids to Overcome Anxiety, Panic, Worry, Negativity, Cravings and Emotional Eating” with Food Mood Expert Trudy Scott

Supplementing with specific individual amino acids can raise neurotransmitter levels and balance brain chemistry, alleviating anxiety, fear, worry, panic attacks, and feeling stressed or overwhelmed. They can also be supportive in addressing other issues that contribute to or exacerbate anxiety, such as sugar cravings, emotional eating and addictions. In addition, supplemental amino acids can help with depression, PMS, poor focus/ADHD and insomnia, which often co-occur with anxiety.

This presentation will cover symptoms of low serotonin, low GABA, low endorphins, and low catecholamine neurotransmitters. How to raise these neurotransmitter levels with the amino acids l-tryptophan, GABA, d- phenylalanine (DPA) and l-tyrosine, thereby improving mood and ending emotional eating will be taught. The use of glutamine to stabilize low blood sugar, leading to improved mood and gut health will also be addressed.

Trudy says: “The amino acids are key to the success of my practice. They help my clients eliminate stress-eating, and make food changes without feeling deprived and only having to use willpower. My clients feel calm and happy right away, giving them hope, while their other health and nutritional challenges are addressed. Many people suffering from various health concerns could receive tremendous relief with the proper use of amino acids”.

Quite often with MSIDS, we find ourselves dealing with side issues.  Which came first, the infection of MSIDS or the condition?  In nearly every case, the science is completely lacking, but unless dealt with will stop our healing.  Pyroluria is perhaps one such condition.  Normally considered an “inherited” condition associated with inner tension and anxiety, especially in social settings, and is made worse by stress, MSIDS sufferers should consider it.

Discuss all treatment information to your health care practitioner. 

http://lymediseaseguide.org/lyme-disease-zinc-and-pyroluria  Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt claims that most patients he treats for autism or Lyme disease have pyroluria, a defect in the synthesis of haemoglobin which causes excess excretion of zinc. His treatment for the condition is extremely high doses of zinc (200mg or more each day) although this level of zinc can cause nausea, adversely affect copper levels in the body (leading to anaemia), double the risk of prostate cancer, and result in diarrhoea, stomach pain, and vomiting in some. Patients should be extremely cautious regarding zinc supplementation whether suffering from Lyme disease or not as excess levels can build up quite quickly if pyroluria is not present.

Pyroluria is also known as kryptopyrroluria (KPU) or the Mauve Factor and is most commonly observed in women, possibly due to the more overt effects of chronic deficiency in B6 and zinc that may result in women during their teens and early twenties. Symptoms associated with pyroluria include halitosis (bad breath), severe stretch marks, fatigue, poor concentration, confusion, sleep disturbances, poor appetite or increased appetite, mood swings, pale skin, multiple food allergies, and changes in libido (raising or lowering). Some patients may be prescribed antidepressants such as Prozac as low levels of zinc and B6 can reduce the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin which regulates mood (amongst other things). Patients may be persistently depressed to some degree with symptoms exacerbated (in women) as part of the premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

The recommended daily allowances for zinc (in the US) are 8milligrams (8mg) for women and 11mg for men, although these used to be around 15mg a few years ago and have been lowered in recent years; anything over 50mg per day is considered excessive. Those with pyroluria however, may be advised to take supplements containing vitamin B6 and levels of zinc above the generally recommended levels but taking high levels of either nutrient is inadvisable without medical supervision (excessive B6 may lead to a kind of peripheral neuropathy when taken long-term).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYlZWuclkFA&ebc=ANyPxKp7mcnAx12iMGs_zB6ubuX_HWBCznJrjwQzuJPm55chzcn2zv0w70pkVRRMStcznXtE8nJl  Published on Jun 19, 2014  Pyroluria is more common than we realize and has overlaps with social anxiety and introversion. Carl Pfeiffer did the initial research while working with schizophrenic patients and found that the key nutrients zinc, vitamin B6 and evening primrose oil reduced and often eliminated symptoms.

This presentation will review:

• The associated signs and symptoms of this condition
• The concerns with pyroluria urine testing, and why the pyroluria questionnaire may be a better option
• Fatty acid testing
• Concerns with low vitamin B6 and zinc markers
• Food sources and supplemental forms of these nutrients
• Additional supportive nutrients
• Risk factors related with excess intake of some of the nutrients
• Tips to enhance absorption
• Review of a supportive protocol and its duration

This presentation will also examine the connection of pyroluria to gluten intolerance, inflammation, stress, heavy metals, low serotonin, insomnia, women’s hormonal health, methylation mutations and low histamine. Case studies will be discussed.

http://www.publichealthalert.org/kpuhpu-a-major-piece-of-the-puzzle-in-overcoming-chronic-lyme-disease.html#at_pco=smlrebh-1.0&at_si=56c7495ab3bd3a80&at_ab=per-2&at_pos=3&at_tot=auto  Here is an excellent article written by Scott Forsgren on KPU/HPU.

The HPU complex is a biochemical marker and neurotoxic substance frequently identified in the urine of patients with autism, learning disabilities, alcoholism, substance abuse, schizophrenia, ADHD, Down syndrome, depression, bipolar disorders, and even criminal behavior. Some estimate the incidence of KPU to be 40-70% in schizophrenia; 50% in autism; 30% in ADHD; and 40-80% in alcoholism and substance abuse.  HPU may be an inherited condition but it can also be induced by childhood psychological trauma or chronic infections. Dr. Klinghardt has found the incidence of HPU in Lyme disease to be 80% or higher; in patients with heavy metal toxicity (lead, mercury, cadmium, and others) over 75%; and in children with autism over 80%. These are very significant percentages of the patient population with chronic illness that may benefit from a treatment program which addresses HPU. Normal, healthy controls do not test positive for HPU. Dr. Klinghardt believes that it is not possible to have chronic symptomatic Lyme disease as an adult without a preceding mold illness or the patient having developed HPU. He postulates that the biotoxins from microbes block one or more of the eight enzymes of heme synthesis. This leads to a significant loss of key minerals in white blood cells which effectively disarms cellular immunity.

Chiropractic care and MSIDS

Those suffering from MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome – or Lyme with friends) quickly discover that successful treatment is holistic.  Killing pathogens is certainly an important arm of treatment, but so is detoxing those dead pathogens, as well as improving immune system function.

http://www.chiro.org/research/ABSTRACTS/Immune_Responses_to_Spinal_Manipulation.shtml

According to Frank M. Painter, D.C., studies demonstrate an accumulation of evidence that indicates spinal manipulation may influence the immune system‘s response to various stimuli and reduces production of pro-inflammatory mediators associated with tissue damage and pain.  Some studies also give evidence that manipulation may induce and enhance production of the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-2 as well as the production of immunoglobulins.  http://www.chiro.org/research/ABSTRACTS/Effects_of_Chiropractic.shtml  Other results show manipulative treatment may influence T and B lymphocyte numbers, NK cell numbers, antibody levels, phagocytic activity, and plasma beta endorphin levels.  

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2016/02/28/wellness-chiropractic

Chiropractic care has been vilified since the 60’s with a “persistent tendency to suppress physicians from referring patients to chiropractors — so much so that Dr. Chester Wilk ended up filing an antitrust suit against the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1976.”  Wilk eventually won and in 1987, the court ruled that the AMA had engaged in an unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade to contain and eliminate the chiropractic profession.

According to chiropractors, chiropractic care is similar to seeing a dentist and needs to be done on a regular basis to maintain the health of your spine, because even regular activities can contribute to a less than optimal functioning.

One of the best ways to find a good wellness chiropractor is by word of mouth. You may also want to find out if he or she is trained in any other treatment modalities, such as muscle testing, applied kinesiology, or neuroemotional technique (NET). There are literally dozens of different techniques that can have a profound impact on addressing the bioenergetic component of disease, not just the structural.

Tips for Choosing a Wellness Chiropractor:
Meet the doctor. Many chiropractors will agree to a no-cost consultation to determine whether you are a good match. To make this visit as productive as possible, here are a few things to consider:
Does the practice focus on vertebral subluxation and wellness? Physical, biochemical, and psychological stress may result in spinal subluxations that disrupt nerve function and compromise your health.

Does the doctor “walk the talk”? If he or she is overweight, looks unhealthy, or does not live a healthy lifestyle, this speaks volumes regarding their commitment to wellness.
Do the two of you “click”? Do you like each other? Do you communicate well? Avoid a doctor who seems rushed, talks down to you, or seems disinterested in listening to your concerns.
Does the doctor use objective assessments of nerve function? Since your care is not based just on addressing pain, your chiropractor should be using some form of objective assessment of your nerve function, as spinal subluxations can sometimes be asymptomatic.  Non-invasive instruments that measure the electrical activity in your muscles, and/or a thermal scanner that evaluates the function of your autonomic nervous system can be used, for example.

What treatment techniques are used? Chiropractic techniques include low-force adjustments by hand, and more forceful adjustments using instruments. Ask which technique would be used on you, and if you have a preference, make sure the doctor is willing to use it.

On Saturday, April 9, from 2:30pm-4:45pm, Dr. Eileen Isom DC, CCST, Certified Spinal Trauma Specialist, of Madison Chiropractic, will be speaking at the Madison Lyme Support Group.  Dr. Isom uses NUCCA technique which is unique because it frees the nervous system of interference by using a precise, non-invasive, gentle touch technique.

The NUCCA technique brings several generations of clinical research to correcting the serious problem of the Atlas (the bone your head sets on) Subluxation Complex. By using precise and objective x-ray views of the head and neck, mathematical measurement and analysis are made of the misalignment.  There is no twisting, popping, or cracking with this gentle, yet effective procedure.

Some of the many symptoms that can be relieved by correction of the Atlas Subluxation Complex include but are not limited to:

Neck and back pain
Headaches and Migraines
Hypertension
Chronic pain or stress
Leg and arm numbness
Scoliosis
TMJ
Fibromyalgia
Sinus and allergy problems
Herniated disc
Seizures
Depression
Attention Deficit Disorder
Hormonal Imbalance
Athletic and auto injuries
Bed wetting
Cerebral Palsy
Multiple Sclerosis
Arthritis

Chiropractic care may be something you need to investigate further in your MSIDS journey as it can alleviate pain, help you structurally, as well as optimize your immune system.

Lyme-Equivalent of Cancer

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-parish/lyme-the-infectious-disea_b_9243460.html

Excellent article, please go to the above link to read the entirety.

The Director of Developmental Therapeutics at Duke Cancer Institute, Dr. Neil Spector, states that Lyme is the infectious disease equivalent of cancer. He also says that cancer isn’t discussed as one disease anymore, and that Lyme is similar in this aspect in that when you are bitten by a tick, you can get five-ten different infections at the same time. He also finds it ludicrous to call ALL tick-bourne disease, Lyme Disease, and that we don’t call all cancers, Breast Cancer. He feels language to be extremely important because it has a bearing on treatment.

He also finds it ridiculous that doctors and researchers aren’t accepting that LD has persister cells – also similar to cancer, and that we need to understand the molecular biology of the bacteria, in particular the morphing of borrelia, the causative agent of LD, into different shapes.

He feels it’s important to keep an open mind when considering the link between infectious agents and cancer, considering that H. Pylori causes stomach cancer, the HPV virus can cause cervical and head and neck cancers, and that Epstein Barr can cause lymphoma. He feels there should be research money available to study whether Lyme is causative for glioblastoma, the brain cancer that killed Joe Biden’s son.

And lastly, he finds it scientifically ignorant that animals studies are nearly ignored when it comes to tick borne disease, and that if they threw out animal studies in cancer, they’d be nowhere.

“The more people we bring in who haven’t drunk the Kool-Aid, the faster we’ll turn this around.” Dr. Spector

Dr. Spector suffered irreversible heart failure which required a heart transplant due to undiagnosed Lyme Disease. He also had night terrors, burning in his heels, sudden and severe arthritis in his wrist causing profound weakness that was just as quickly erased when he was put on doxycycline for a different reason than Lyme. After being passed like a bad white elephant gift between numerous doctors, he was finally diagnosed when he visited a Lyme Literate Doctor and took a test from Igenex lab, which came back positive. He is the author of Gone in a Heartbeat: A Physician’s Search for True Healing, and is the Sandra Coates Associate Professor of Medicine and Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Cancer at Duke University School of Medicine and is the Director of Developmental Therapeutics at the Duke Cancer Institute.

Thank you Dr. Spector for being a flaming arrow in the dark.

Powassan Virus

http://www.cmaj.ca/content/161/11/1419.short  The Powassan Virus was discovered in Powassan, Ontario in 1958 when a 5-year-old boy died of severe encephalitis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gKNa6JBeH8  A brief explanation by Dr. Michael Smith.  (approx. 1 min)

http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/18/10/12-0621_article   POW is a single-stranded RNA virus in the genus Flavivirus of the Flaviviridae family. There is substantial serologic cross-reaction with other flaviviruses (dengue, St. Louis encephalitis, yellow fever, Japanese B encephalitis, West Nile virus). RNA viruses generally have high mutation rates. Both prototypic (POWV) and deer tick virus (DTV) genotypes exist and are cousins to the tick-borne encephalitis virus causing significant illness in Europe. All sequenced strains in Minnesota are of the DTV genotype.

https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/tickborne/powa-april-2010-wmj.pdf  Presence of POW-lineage viruses has been well documented in at least 38 mammal species including small and medium sized wild animals (rodents, woodchucks, skunks) and domestic animals (dogs, cats), with several species of ticks proven to be vectors at this time. Human infection with Powassan Virus has been documented in North America and Russia.

Selection bias in identifying the infection may exist, diminishing the reported incidence to only patients with severe disease.

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5035a4.htm   Because of the lack of awareness and the need for specialized laboratory tests to confirm diagnosis, the frequency of POW encephalitis may be greater than previously suspected. POW encephalitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of all encephalitis cases occurring in the northern United States, especially the Northeast. Laboratory tests for POW virus infection are not commercially available but can be requested through state public health laboratories for testing at CDC; however, Coppe Laboratories, right here in Waukesha, Wisconsin, has a direct and indirect test for Powassan virus. It requires a simple blood draw.   http://wisconsinwoodlands.org/study-of-wisconsin-ticks/  In this article Coppe Lab collected more than 2,000 ticks and found borrelia (the causative agent in Lyme Disease) in more than half as well as a high number of POW/deer tick viruses in ticks of hyper-endemic regions of NW Wisconsin, and that ticks carrying disease are in almost every county in WI.

reported-powassan-virus-infections-2003-2014

Graph taken from:

https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/tickborne/powassan.htm

The virus is becoming more common in humans and appears to differ from Lyme Disease (borrelia) in that it is transmitted much more quickly (within minutes) and fatally (10-15% of cases), with 60% of patients who survive have permanent neurological dysfunction; however, please know that there is disagreement in the medical community on transmission times and much remains unclear. It is warned that only a single strain of POW has been used to determine vector competence or transmission time or viral amount to cause clinical illness. http://labs.russell.wisc.edu/wisconsin-ticks/powassan-virus/

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/23/8/16-1971_article  A study in Marshfield, WI showed that when 95 patients were tested for suspected tick-borne disease, 66% showed evidence of current or prior Lyme infection.  Of those patients, 17% had serologic evidence of acute POWV infection, demonstrating that POWV may affect more patients than we know.

The biggest challenge in addressing the Powassan infection will be distinguishing it from Lyme disease. The similarity of their etiology and symptomatology is extraordinary. If symptoms exacerbate rapidly, then that may be the critical sign that a Powassan virus is present.  

http://naturalsociety.com/powassan-virus-ticks-now-carrying-virus-worse-than-lyme-disease/  The Powassan virus attacks the nervous system and can infect the brain causing inflammation (encephalitis). It can also affect the lining of the brain (meningitis). Symptoms vary widely from none to death. http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/18/10/12-0621_article  Patients with POW infection typically exhibit encephalitis after an incubation period of 1–4 weeks. Fever and headache are common.  Mental status changes, cerebellar symptoms (trouble with motor control, attention, and language), and weakness or paralysis in half of the body (reported in 50% of cases) are also common and may be severe. Results of CSF testing and brain imaging are generally consistent with viral encephalitis. Reverse transcription PCR of CSF, serologic testing of CSF, and serologic testing of serum are the preferred diagnostic tests, but they are not widely available. Pathogenesis is due to lymphocytic infiltration of perivascular neuronal tissue with a predilection for gray matter, including thalamus, midbrain, and cerebellum. Other symptoms include but are not limited to:  fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, and memory loss.

http://www.caryinstitute.org/newsroom/more-tickborne-diseases-other-lyme-maybe-just-don-t-go-outside  In this case a high school student was mildly ill for several weeks with a cough, but then collapsed and died.

http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/18/10/12-0621_article
Case Report:  On May 30, 2011 a 67-year-old woman from Aitkin, Minnesota checked into the Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, complaining of dizziness, high fever, chills, nausea and malaise, as well as intermittent confusion with slurred speech.  As an avid gardener and hiker, the woman had been exposed to a number of vectors endemic to her area, such as deer ticks and mosquitos. She also had a long history of medical issues, including colon cancer, hypertension, cutaneous lupus, and a remote cerebral aneurysm, which was treated surgically.  Although the patient was alert upon arrival at the medical facility, by the next day her condition severely deteriorated. Within hours she became unresponsive. Over night her breathing stopped completely and she required intubation. The patient remained in her comatose state for nearly two weeks before the medical ventilator was removed and she died. It was not until after the patient’s death that serological testing was able to identify Powassan Virus (POWV) as the disease agent.

https://www.lymedisease.org/lyme-sci-powassan-update/  Powassan Virus put North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan into a 43-day coma, and while recovering she has difficulty speaking and is still unable to walk.

Arbovirus Infection MnLA Jan 2016-3  Very informative slide presentation by Dr. David Baewer, Chief Medical Officer, Coppe Laboratories, Waukesha, Wisconsin.

For an excellent article on how viruses work:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/cellular-microscopic/virus-human.htm

Please discuss all treatment options with your health care professional

Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, and no effective anti-viral drugs have been discovered for POW, hence there is no specific treatment; however, there is much that can be done to improve the immune system, thereby, lessoning the effects of the virus, as well as taking medications to reduce brain swelling, respiratory support, and IV fluids. 

http://health-truth.com/our-program/health-articles/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/how-to-conquer-the-viral-bacterial-syndrome/  According to Michael Biamonte, C.C.D., the immune system uses nutrients from food to manufacture substances that attack and kill viruses. Viruses help bacteria by invading the cells in an area, and if the immune system is too weak, bacteria begin to swarm the damaged cells invaded by the virus. As the virus begins to die having gone through its life cycle, the bacteria then start a secondary infection. For an MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome) patient, they might be fighting borrelia (Lyme), Babesia, Bartonella, and many more pathogens, on top of viruses. This makes their disease much more complex.

27_sugar316x316Graphic from Lymestats.org

Biomonte says to avoid sugar as it reduces the number of white bloods cells which fight off infection. He states that garlic is the most effective food against all infections as well as Echinacea, Zinc, water-soluble vitamin A, protein (stimulates the adrenal and thyroid), and eggs (contain large quantities of lecithin).

http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/cellular-microscopic/light-virus.htm  Interestingly, a study done at Arizona State and Johns Hopkins shows strong, quick blasts of purple light from a low power laser can kill viruses by vibrating and damaging their outer shells, but unlike other treatments doesn’t cause mutatations leading to viral resistance. Blood UV radiation, similarly to the laser, also kills viruses by breaking down their cell walls.

Anti-virals:

Green Tea
Licorice (glycyrrhizin)
Pau D-Arco
Olive Leaf
Elderberry
Zinc
Garlic
Echinacea
St. John’s Wort
Coconut oil
Eucalyptus oil
Vitamin C

Monolaurin
