Lyme Disease Support Group

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

neurotoxins & Dr. Shoemaker

Has anyone tried the protocol that Dr. Shoemaker recommends for Lymes.
Also, what is the news on the Visual Contrast Sensitivity Test?
I did the VCS and results are positive for neurotoxins.

Sharron I am following his protocol for mold exposure with a bit of a twist. My mold is in my body from a medical procedure. I am also positive for biotoxin disease on the Visual Contrast Sensitivity Test and my MSH level was less than 8. Normal is 35-80. I am starting to feel better. I have read two of his books: Desperation Medicine and Mold Warriors. Both are a must read if you have a biotoxin disease. It explains the biotoxin pathway so well and I think if you go to see him he will require you read them but Im not sure. It was like reading a mystery novel and I couldnt put them down. There is so much information in those books that we need to know.

Anyway I know Shoemaker has done a lot of work in Florida and he is highly regarded as an expert consultant as Florida has an outbreak of a couple of fungi that caused untold suffering for many people. If my memory serves me correct one had to do with a fungi that blossomed after a certain pesticide was used and another Im not sure but I think it had something to do with blue-green algae.

The most significant thing I believe I read in his books is that if you are a certain genotype you will not get well even if they clear the infections. You will need an extra step and toxin binding drugs. Another thing is he looks for more infections in your nose I believe and works on clearing those infections which most doctors dont do. Its amazing what this guy has done and how many people he has cured. He is tireless in his efforts to eradicate biotoxin disease and he is called many times as one of a few experts in court cases across the country. I cant say enough good things about him and I may fly to Maryland to get tested for some markers on the HLA-DR for his database and for my personal information. I hear he can be arrogant and he is not the only game in town but the guy has done so much good I cannot say anything bad about him.

Hi Sharron. I do not have any experience with this personally, but I know of a few people with Lyme who tried it. None seemed to have lasting improvement.

These diseases affect people differently, and what works for one person may not work for another. I think each of us needs to follow the path we think is best for our situation.

If you think this could help you, it may be worth trying.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
