Poly-microbial vector-borne infections may have contributed to neuropsychiatric symptoms in a boy diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Targeted antimicrobial treatment resulted in substantial improvement in cognitive (such as learning disabilities, focus, concentration) and neurobehavioral (such as oppositional, defiant, anti-social, disordered mood, immaturity, tics) symptoms.

Conclusion

This teenage boy had a drastic improvement in his neuropsychiatric symptoms and in his academic standing, moving from special education services with accommodations to grade level academic standing without accommodations, to college acceptance. Progressive symptomatic improvement occurred only following targeted administration of antimicrobial agents directed at suspected, underlying, chronic infectious pathogens, namely the causative agents of bartonellosis and borreliosis. Further research is clearly needed to define if or the extent to which occult infections can contribute to neuropsychiatric illness, such as ASD.

Exploring the Wonders of Prolozone Therapy

 
By Holtdorf Medical Group

In the world of alternative therapies, Prolozone therapy, also known as Prolotherapy, has emerged as a holistic option for individuals dealing with musculoskeletal discomfort, degenerative conditions, and weakened immune systems. By combining the principles of “proliferation” and “ozone,” this treatment has gained attention for its potential to alleviate chronic pain and promote the body’s natural healing processes.

What Is Prolozone Therapy?

Prolozone therapy centers around the concept of assisting the body in healing injured or damaged tissues by encouraging cellular repair. At its core, this holistic approach works in harmony with the body’s healing abilities, aiding in the regeneration of cells around affected joints. By promoting cellular growth, Prolozone therapy aims to support the body’s natural healing processes.

The Synergy of Proliferation and Ozone

A fundamental aspect of Prolozone therapy involves combining cellular proliferation with ozone therapy. This entails administering injections that reduce inflammation and help strengthen ligaments and tendons through cellular regeneration. The addition of ozone therapy enhances oxygen supply to damaged tissues, potentially aiding in the release of growth factors that facilitate tissue repair.

Boosting Functionality Through Oxygenation

In situations where joints and tissues are damaged, compromised oxygenated blood flow can lead to discomfort and reduced mobility. Prolozone therapy seeks to address this issue by injecting the damaged area with Prolozone. This process rejuvenates blood cells with ozone, potentially stimulating the growth factors necessary for tissue repair. This combined approach has shown some potential for those dealing with chronic pain, degenerative ailments, and immune system challenges.

Components of Prolozone Therapy

The Prolozone therapy regimen is a combination of various elements, such as procaine, anti-inflammatory medications, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals, proliferates, and ozone therapy. Beyond its potential to alleviate pain, Prolozone therapy may offer broader benefits, including improved circulation, immune system support, and potential inflammation reduction.

Potential Benefits of Prolozone Therapy

The potential applications of Prolozone therapy extend beyond pain management. This adaptable therapy may find its place in addressing a variety of conditions, offering relief and potential restoration for:

  1. Back Pain: Prolozone therapy’s focus on tissue regeneration might offer some relief to individuals dealing with persistent back discomfort.
  2. Neck Pain: For those experiencing neck discomfort, Prolozone therapy could be explored as a complementary approach to alleviate discomfort.
  3. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: By supporting cellular repair, Prolozone therapy might provide some comfort to individuals struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome.
  4. Fibromyalgia: The holistic nature of Prolozone therapy may contribute to a comprehensive approach for managing fibromyalgia symptoms.
  5. Sports Injuries: Athletes recovering from sports-related injuries might consider Prolozone therapy as part of their healing journey.

Prolozone therapy represents a holistic avenue for individuals seeking alternative approaches to manage discomfort, degenerative issues, and immune system challenges. By blending cellular proliferation with ozone therapy, this treatment seeks to complement the body’s natural healing processes and encourage tissue repair. While its benefits continue to be explored, Prolozone therapy’s potential to contribute to enhanced well-being and support the body’s healing capabilities remains a subject of interest.

Our LLMD utilizes both prolotherapy an prolozone.  My husband has had the prolozone injections in his shoulder, knee, and believe it or not a hemorrhoid (which took a lot of guts).  The hemorrhoid virtually disappeared in the matter of a few days and the knee and shoulder were also helped significantly.

More Government Corruption: Litigation Reveals NO Reason To Recommend 6 COVID Boosters

Biden Admin Concedes No Evidence Behind Recommendation for 6 COVID Booster Shots a Year

President Joe Biden’s administration concedes that there is no scientific evidence to support an apparent recommendation to receive as many as six COVID-19 booster shots in a year.

After Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Biden appointee, wrote in a social media post on Nov. 29, 2022, that people should get vaccinated “if it’s been over 2 months since your last dose,” the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) filed a Freedom of Information Act request for documents supporting the statements.

The watchdog organization then sued after the administration didn’t comply with timelines laid out in the law.  (See link for article)

_______________

SUMMARY:

  • Despite 1,263 pages being reviewed, not a SINGLE record supported Becerra’s irresponsible booster recommendation.
  • Becerra, a lawyer by trade, lacks a background in health yet is the secretary of HHS, a position normally held by a doctor.
  • Biden himself is guilty of misinformation by stating “if you are vaccinated you are not going to be hospitalized, or go to the ICU, or die.”  Unfortunately, the ‘vaccinated’ have done all three. On a similar point, Dr. Wenstrup (R-Ohio) gives Walensky far too much credit as she too has been guilty of ‘misinformation’ over and over again, of distorting research, and of coining the phrase, “pandemic of the unvaccinated” when in fact it was just the opposite.  It’s also important to note that the shots caused disease enhancement.
  • Virtually nothing we were told was true, but has been described as “stupid,” certainly looked stupid, and has caused bad news all around.
  • Despite any evidence whatsoever, Vice President Kamala Harris is also on record claiming that a single shot would protect people from COVID-19 for an entire year. 
  • Despite the devastation and ineffectiveness of the shots and in a seemingly parallel world, CDC’s new director, Dr. Mandy Cohen, said the agency is poised to recommend annual COVID shots similarly to the flu.
The government is all about clamping down on ‘misinformation,’  but it should pull the log out of its own eye.

Never forget this:

 

Or the inhumane treatment of the unvaccinated.

JUL 31, 2023 — 

We are DONE with the JUNK SCIENCE previously financed by the CDC and NIH. Is this yet another deceptive attempt to avoid chronic Lyme disease and make it look as if our public health officials are listening to the disabled Lyme patient community?

Before we start focusing on persistent symptoms, we need to first rule out ongoing infection/co-infections and understand how Lyme disease disables its victim.  Then we need find a cure for all stages of disease.

It is time we get on the bandwagon here and make sure this is not another big waist of time and taxpayer dollars. Please contact Dr. Hugh Auchincloss, Acting NIAID Director and respectfully demand an answer to my inquiry below:

Attn: Hugh Auchincloss, M.D., Acting NIAID Director

Dear Dr. Auchincloss,

In reference to the five grants looking into “Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome,” what diagnostic methods are you recommending to rule out ongoing infection and or coinfection(s) with other tick-borne diseases in the Lyme disease patient population expected to be evaluated in these five studies?

This step is crucial as evidence of persistent infection despite the CDC’s claim that chronic Lyme does not exist has been suppressed for decades.

For example:

I would like to call attention to the following study recently identifying chronic Lyme disease in twelve patients from Canada.

1. Persistent Borrelia Infection in Patients with Ongoing Symptoms of Lyme Disease
http://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/6/2/33

All patients were culture positive for infection (genital secretions, skin and blood) even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.

2. In 1991 B. burgdorferi had been isolated in culture from Vicki Logan’s CSF (CDC’s laboratory in Fort Collins CO.) despite prior treatment with 21 days of IV cefotaxime and 4 months of oral minocycline as identified in the following letter to past CDC Director Barbara Fitzgerald: (culture report included)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xaul84dqmqgbre0/Brenda%20Fitzgerald%20MD%20Director%20CDC.docx?dl=0

3. Per the following 1995 publication, the patient received thirteen spinal taps, multiple courses of IV and oral meds, and relapsed after each one, proven by CSF antigens and/or PCR. The only way this patient (said to be a physician) remained in remission was to keep her on open ended clarithromycin- was on it for 22 months by the time of publication.

Seronegative Chronic Relapsing Neuroborreliosis

Abstract

We report an unusual patient with evidence of Borrelia burgdorferi infection who experienced repeated neurologic relapses despite aggressive antibiotic therapy. Each course of therapy was associated with a Jarisch-Herxheimer-like reaction. Although the patient never had detectable free antibodies to B. burgdorferi in serum or spinal fluid, the CSF was positive on multiple occasions for complexed anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies, B. burgdorferi nucleic acids and free antigen.

And then there is this recent announcement:

Paralyzed by Lyme, they were helped with combo treatments [long-term antibiotics]
https://www.lymedisease.org/remission-from-lyme-paralysis/

So once again Dr. Auchincloss I ask the question:

What diagnostic methods are you recommending to rule out ongoing infection and or coinfection(s) with other tick-borne diseases in the Lyme disease patient population expected to be evaluated in these five studies? (Or is this step strictly prohibited as a condition of accepting grant money from the NIH?)

Any study that does not rule out active infection is disingenuous.

A response to this serious inquiry is requested.

Respectfully submitted,
Carl Tuttle

Is Your Home Making You Sick? How To Check For Mold

https://www.lymedisease.org/how-to-check-for-mold-iseai/

Is your home making you sick? Here’s how to check for mold.

The International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI) Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) Committee has released a Mold Testing Guide to educate patients with diagnosed or probable environmentally acquired illness.

It includes five common test types, do-it-yourself and professional approaches, and how to get help to assess and improve your home’s indoor air quality.

Environmentally acquired illness (EAI) refers to chronic health problems caused by exposure to unhealthy indoor air, mold and other biotoxins, Lyme disease and other persistent infections, and toxicants found in the environment.

Understanding Mold Exposure and Your Health

Awareness about mold’s effect on human health, and indoor air quality in general, has been increasing over the past few years. Several types of illnesses may be caused by exposure to mold and other toxins in damp buildings and they can often become complex and chronic, with symptoms similar to Lyme disease and its co-infections.

Mold exposure from damp buildings may lead to chronic inflammation and can be a primary exposure factor in the clinical presentation of individuals suffering from a variety of chronic health issues due to environmental exposures.

A medically-sound indoor environmental professional is often needed to help sensitive patients, but worth it. Some patients with Lyme disease may find it more difficult to heal in an unhealthy building that is affected by mold.

Unfortunately, there are currently no US Federal or State regulated levels set for indoor mold exposures and interpretation of environmental sample data can be very subjective and vary from one professional to another.

The Mold Testing Guide can help educate patients and physicians about this important topic.

A Healthy Indoor Environment

ISEAI feels that a healthy indoor environment is free of water damage, fungal and microbial growth, and byproducts of that growth (mycotoxins, mVOCs, fragments).

That said, there is no such thing as a truly “mold free” home, since fungal spores exist in the natural outdoor environment. A goal is to maintain an indoor environment that resembles the natural outdoor environment as much as possible, without undue elevations.

In addition to a thorough visual assessment by a professional, the results of environmental testing such as mold testing may allow sensitive patients to better understand their exposure levels, and take appropriate action if needed.

About ISEAI

ISEAI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization co-founded by 350+ clinician members to raise awareness about the environmental causes of complex chronic illness and to advance the care of patients through clinical practice, education and research. Their vision is a world where a wide range of clinicians have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat the root causes of debilitating complex chronic and inflammatory illnesses.

About the IEP Committee

ISEAI’s IEP Committee is a group of highly credentialed and experienced indoor environmental professionals who have specialized experience with medically-sensitive patients. The Committee reports to the ISEAI Board of Directors and provides education to clinicians and the public on topics of mold, indoor air quality and contaminants.

Additional Resources

ISEAI’s Resources Page includes other IEP Committee documents such as the Mold Remediation Factsheet and a directory of medically-sound IEPs and clinicians.
