Lyme Disease Protocols

Some of my favorite Lyme disease protocols are those from Dr. Klinghardt, Dr. Cowden, Master Herbalist Stephen Buhner, and Dr. Burrascano.  Each approaches Lyme Disease in different ways and I find that each protocol contains significant information of value.  I highly recommend reading these protocols and then making a decision on which approach feels more appropriate for your individual situation.  For me, it has been an integration of different approaches which has made me feel more empowered to beat this disease and return to full health.  I thank these practitioners openly for sharing with us all so freely.

General Chronic Illness Protocols

It is my opinion that often times people hyper-focus on Lyme disease and do not consider the many other factors that must be evaluated and addressed in order to regain wellness.  Some protocols that I think are excellent in considering these broader factors include:

• Dr. Garry Gordon's F.I.G.H.T. Protocol
• Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum's SHINE Protocol

Articles

An article was published in the July 2006 edition of Explore! magazine which summarized the January 2006 conference on Lyme Disease and Other Neurotoxin-Mediated Illnesses by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt.   My notes from that conference can also be found here.  The article was a good summary of various approaches that Dr. Klinghardt uses to address Lyme Disease. 

Subsequent to the publication, I contacted Chrystyne Jackson from Explore! and asked for permission to scan and reprint the article here.  She kindly agreed to allow me to share this article further.  I urge anyone with a serious interest in resolving their own health conditions to consider subscribing to the publication.  It is a very significant source of information which I always find enlightening.  To read the conference summary, click here.

Subsequent to that article on Dr. Klinghardt, an article was written which discusses the detoxification benefits that might be received through the use of Laser Energetic Detoxification (LED).  For those with an interest in detoxification (which should be all of us), don't miss this one.  To read the LED article, click here.
