Pearls from Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt

The Klinghardt Academy hosted "Autonomic Response Testing Level 3" in September 2017, and, as always, it was amazing.  The event had several fantastic points that I summarize below.  I've attended these events now since 2006, and I always look forward to them.

Dr. Klinghardt was the only speaker that lectured (love that!) and shared:

• There has been a rapid decline in human health worldwide.
• Healthspan, or the years where we are healthy, is decreasing. Lifespan is also shortening; many may now see their children die before them.
• The average healthspan for women (corrected for accidental deaths), was 81 years old. 10 years ago, healthspan decreased to 71. Now, women live sick on average for the last 20 years of their life. Women now are unhealthy on average from age 60-61 until their death.
• EMR/EMF is a major contributor and the frequencies that are commonly used are harmful for our health.
• Herbicides are commonly found even in organic foods.  
• He mentioned the book "Our Stolen Future".
• EMFs, chemicals, metals contribute to our modern illnesses.
• There is 400 times more mercury in ambient air now than in years past.
• Wildfires release huge amounts of mercury and other metals.
• Mercury is the most illness-creating metal; aluminum is next.
• Every cell in the body is in an alarm state from EMR/EMF exposure.
• We could fix America in one day if we eliminated the health impacts of Monsanto and EMR/EMF; within six weeks, health would double or triple.
• Cell phones, glyphosate, metals, and atrazine are some of the more concerning toxins we are exposed to.
• Turn off the fuses at night.
• Organically grown food has 80% of the same contaminants; organically "grown" doesn't mean it is handled organically after it is harvested and can still be tainted with pesticides.
• Detoxification is number 1 in terms of the things we must do to support our health.
• Balancing our biochemistry supports the body's ability to let go of toxins.
• We may need B12, folate, glycine, DMG, and TMG.
• We need a functioning autonomic nervous system (ANS), or nothing works; EMR/EMF corrupts the ANS.
• The ionic foot bath and neural therapy can calm the ANS; one can also reset the ANS thermostat with hands-on work.
• Treatments must become more gentle and less expensive.
• Detoxification and EMR/EMF protection are the issues of our time.
• One cell phone call liberates 600 times more mercury from amalgam fillings than otherwise.
• Medical students learn tools that no longer apply to the human condition.
• Anxiety is a leading symptom in the US; most frequent patient complaint in the US.
• The focus is often on genetic conditions and metabolic issues that 3-4 people may have.
• For every 1,000 dollars spent on AIDS, 1 dollar is spent on Lyme. For every 1,000 Lyme patients, there is 1 AIDS patient.
• Dry hands can be a clue for a thyroid issue.
• Yang organs can be removed and a person will live; yin organs can be removed and a person will die.
• Lymph node issues are often related to Strep or Bartonella.
• Cherry angiomas are often associated with Babesia.
• The most sensitive test for the kidneys is Cystatin C.
• Creatinine goes up when 50% of the kidney is already destroyed.
• Chlorella is one of the few things that can be given safely to mitigate the presence of amalgam fillings; other metal detox agents are not allowed when amalgams are still present.
• ZeoBind does not get systemically absorbed.
• Wearing metal necklaces can negatively impact drug uptake into the brain.
• Chronic illness is related directly to the amount of toxins the patient can get rid of.
• Lyme and Mycoplasma create endogenous toxins within the body.
• EMFs are lethal to the good bacteria in the sinus and the bowel.
• Our DNA is 2% human and 98% microbial.
• Our consciousness is the collective of our microbes.
• Glyphosate destroys large portions of bacteria in the gut.
• In the mouth alone, there are over 2,000 species of bugs.
• It has been said that humans cannot make vitamin C, but we have many gut species that turn sugar into vitamin C; this changes with EMFs, antibiotics, and glyphosate as our microbiome is no longer health.
• You are what you feed your microbes and what they feed you.
• Most amino acids we need are created by our microbes.
• Vegetarians groom and grow the microbes that make the amino acids we need.
• Most symptoms we experience are the result of an immune reaction to the bugs, not the bugs themselves.
• Autoimmunity is the end result of an immune reaction to microbes.
• We should give up the idea that pathogens are pathogens.
• Chronic infections are no longer the enemy; they are simply bugs that your system has refused to integrate.
• You only get a bulls-eye rash if you already had Lyme disease; not the first time you are exposed.
• Borrelia cysts can survive 600C temperatures or pure hydrochloric acid.
• Once you have Lyme, you have Lyme; the goal is to train your immune system to tolerate the bugs while managing the microbes and integrating with them.
• Exposure to Lyme from mosquitoes and fleas is far more common than from ticks.
• Borrelia and Mycoplasma may be sexually transmitted.
• The most deceptive term ever is "tick-borne".
• Lyme is found in virtually all stinging spiders and can result in more serious illness than Lyme transmitted from ticks.
• Heart rhythm issues are often related to the right vagus nerve being infected with Bartonella. It can also be related to dental cavitations. Treat Bartonella and dental issues.
• There is no autism without Lyme.
• Often helpful to use high-dose chlorella during pregnancy; some may use up to 60 tablets per day.
• It is not a problem to have children if you have Lyme disease as long as you plan ahead.
• It is rare these days to find someone without at least one of the Lyme microbes.
• It is all about taming the bugs and living with them; the time is over to shoot for a sterile body.
• With Lyme in the system, the immune system often cannot manage parasites anymore.
• He has not seen a person with mold illness that did not have Lyme disease.
• Lyme produces quinolinic acid which blocks detoxification pathways.
• Night sweats and brain fog are often observed with Babesia.
• Bartonella is more prevalent than Borrelia and causes more serious health problems.
• The main transfer of Bartonella to humans is from cat fleas.
• Bartonella can lead to osteoporosis.
• With the DNA Connexions testing for Lyme, a vibrational trainer/plate is another tool that can be helpful to provoke the test and maximize the chances of a positive finding.
• Lymphomas can be connected to Bartonella.
• Mycoplasma is a significant issue, and olive oil has been shown to be helpful in managing it.
• You cannot find live Lyme spirochetes in the CSF.
• The symptoms of Lyme and metal toxicity are the same.
• The Elispot is the leading test in Europe for Lyme and is more sensitive than the Western Blot; it shows the difference between active infection and immune memory.
• He uses urine-based PCR testing; Lyme doesn't live in the blood.
• Of the first 150 people that they tested with DNA Connexions, only two of them were negative.
• The favorite living environment for Lyme is the inner lining of the venous system and the lymph nodes.
• The vagus nerve is often infected with Bartonella and herpes viruses.
• Miklossy has shown that Alzheimer's disease can be the outcome of untreated Lyme disease.
• 1/2 of the population will die of or with Alzheimer's.
• There has been a 663% increase in Alzheimer's in women in the past 20 years.
• Microwave radiation (EMR/EMF) destroys the microbiome that would train and integrate new, incoming bugs.
• The microbes in the brain drive higher human development.
• In culture plates of brain neurons, the neurons made many new connections when exposed to the Bravo probiotic.  What happens to the bugs in the brain when you treat Lyme with years of antibiotics?
• His treatment approach consists of:
  
  • Treating dysregulated physiology and biochemistry
  • Detoxification
  • Immune Modulation
  • Antimicrobials (a hiccup at the end of treatment)
• Treating dysregulated physiology and biochemistry
  • pH of urine should be around 6.2 and saliva around 7.6. Treatment is chlorella and minerals.
  • Fasting blood sugar should be under 90. Treatment is purslane or the combination of Berberine + Niacinamide.
  • Sex hormones - best to use herbs except for progesterone and DHEA. Testosterone supplementation may lead to Babesia activation.
  • Treat leaky gut with chlorella, Ketotifen, zeolite.
  • Supplement D3 to high normal, add minerals, consider bone broth, RERUM.
  • Treat KPU/pyroluria.
  • All insulin resistance is a symptom of Lyme disease.
  • Purslane balances the blood sugar as well as Metformin without the negative effects.
• Zeolite removes fluoride; nothing else is known to do this.
• Fluoride leads to tooth loss and osteoporosis.
• ZeoBind may work better than Cholestyramine for mold toxins without the side effects.
• Zeolite lowers ammonia levels, is good for radioactive metals (as is chlorella), and binds histamine.
• RANTES cytokine is upregulated in cavitations and leads to systemic infections.
• His favorite way of testing metals is with porphyrin testing.
• The Oligoscan shows that every patient is aluminum toxic; aluminum is the growth factor for Lyme disease.
• There is no chronic fatigue or Lyme without aluminum.
• Glutathione is totally over-rated; he has not seen a single patient improve on it.
• Zinc DTPA can be a good detox agent for lead and radioactive materials.
• Ionic foot baths can increase aluminum excretion by up to 600%.
• The highest excretion of metals via the urine is on the third day after the foot bath session.
• An ionic foot bath is one of the most important survival tools of our time.
• A squirt of cilantro orally before the foot bath is like a foot bath on steroids. (Editor note: Discuss cilantro with your doctor prior to use as it can be a strong metal mobilizer; cilantro is not appropriate if there are still metals in the mouth.)
• Mobile phones suppress melatonin and reduce our ability to detoxify mercury.
• Melatonin can be anti-parasitic and can help with Lyme organisms impacting the brain.
• Some may need to combine melatonin with DMSA initially to deal with heavy metals that may be released as a result of the melatonin; or may need to start the melatonin slowly and work up.
• Detoxifying the body is done with coffee enemas, ionic foot baths/cilantro, zeolite, and chlorella.
• Immune modulation - the response of the host makes the disease.
• LDI is a fancy term for homeopathy and can be helpful for immune modulation.
• Low CD57 counts can be improved with chlorella.
• Low IgA can be resolved with chlorella.
• Autohemotherapy or auto-urine therapy may be used for immune modulation purposes.
• MegaSporeBiotic, Bravo, RERUM, and LDI can be immuno-modulatory.
• Worms should be treated first in the antimicrobial sequence, followed by molds, and then smaller organisms.
• Some of the newer RX Lyme persister protocols do not cross the blood-brain barrier; you can only cleanup the body below the neck.
• 62% of the time, people get worse after antibiotic treatment.
• The Lyme Cocktail is liposomal.
• Artesunate is a favorite option for Lyme, herpes viruses, and other microbes.
• Cistus prevents insect bites, selectively breaks down biofilms, and is anti-microbial for Lyme and co-infections.
• Olive oil helps to clear plaques in Alzheimer's. It is the most potent tool for Mycoplasma and is a common part of treatment protocols.
• 1 ounce of olive oil twice daily with the Cocktail can be very helpful.
• In the 5 Levels of Healing model, approximately 50% of the causes of illness are level 4, 30% level 3; the other 20% are level 1 and 2.
• Wisdom teeth that don't grow in but have a tooth "bud" can lead to significant issues including a higher risk for later cancers.
• In Dr. Bach's work, the future of health was the microbiome; the flower remedies were a "weekend brain fart".
• In Germany, a small amount of protein such as cheese is consumed before eating to reduce the absorption of carbs and support weight loss. Meals are five hours apart with no snacks.
• Calendula and Propolis have been very effective for Bartonella.
• He likes to add appropriate amounts of Cocktail, Propolis, hyaluronic acid, O3 oil, and cistus in 1 ounce of olive oil (extra virgin organic). This is often done twice per day.
• Kill and smoke-them-out approaches lead to long-term war in the body.
• Parasites are treated first, then mold, then bacteria, then viruses.
• Ailing teeth are often either from Herpes viruses or Bartonella.
• Cistus is a Borreliacidal herb and was found in the stomach of Ötzi.
• Artemisin can be helpful for Babesia; also removes excess iron and improves eyesight.
• Mycoplasma has been strongly linked to cancers.
• For an acute tick bite, he may use Doxycycline or Minocycline along with the Cocktail and other therapies.
• He has seen cases of tooth pain that were caused by a virus and may have needed a root canal; using a red laser can be helpful as it is antiviral.
• There is no tick that is not infected.
• With Chlamydia pneumoniae, freeze-dried garlic can be helpful for vascular healing.
• Cats are dangerous for the survival of our species. Songbirds eat ticks and cats kill 160 songbirds each on average.
• AromaTab which was created by Dr. d'Angelo for parasite treatment has been very helpful for molds as well.
• For dental issues, MegaSporeBiotic and BRAVO may be helpful as a rinse and taken orally.
• Oral probiotics should always be taken after a meal when the pH is the most alkaline.
• Up to 40% of probiotics taken orally may survive when taken after a meal; as compared to only 2% if taken before a meal.
• MegaSporeBiotic is a bacterial spore; spores stay stable for 50 million years and then hatch out when you take them. These can help to push back the pathogens in the gut.
• One approach is to open the capsule in water first to allow the spores to come out and then use as a mouth rinse.
• Rickettia, Borrelia, and Bartonella may be common with vascular issues.
• Bartonella and Babesia can live in the red blood cells; the spleen carries the burden of microbes.
• Ultrasound may be used as published with the RK Protocol to provoke the urine PCR testing or even provoke the muscle testing so that more issues can be observed.
• Borrelia, Mycoplasma, and viruses may be found in the air.
• Lyme may be transmitted sexually; though when transmitted this way it could be like a vaccine vs. a tick bite which paralyzes the immune system and opens the blood-brain barrier.
• It is not the presence of the bugs that determines the illness; it is the immune system of the host.
• There is no blood-brain barrier until around 18 months old.
• Provoking methods such as the ultrasound/RK Protocol can reveal too many things with subsequent ART testing. Thus, this is reserved for when fewer items are found in ART in order to provoke the system.
• For the urine PCR testing, he likes to collect the urine for six hours after provoking the system.
• Dairy allergies often originate from mom; wheat from dad.
• It is rare to find someone that is not gluten sensitive.
• If the illness looks physical, the cause is likely in the emotional realm. If the illness looks emotional, the cause is often physical.
• Glyphosate is a big issue when someone is not losing weight.
• Small MCV could be an indicator of iron deficiency; large MCV could be a need for B6 or B12.
• Allergies are a sign of diminished immune tolerance.
• These microbes are pervasive and most people have been exposed to them.
• The vagus nerve may be over-rated; as it has only a small signal overall.
• Bartonella, herpes viruses, and dental toxins may impact the vagus nerve.
• When there is an upper jaw narrowing, this can force the lower jaw back to make the teeth match up; this leads to poor lymphatic drainage.
• Some benefit from an appliance while sleeping or from work that widens the upper arch.
• When the lips are thinner, this can be related to a collapsed height of the teeth.
• The height of the teeth impacts acetylcholine levels which are involved in memory and math.
• Optimizing the bite will fix almost everything in the patient.
• If dental infections are an issue, the impact of them on the body may be lessened with the use of MSM. MSM is the life blood of a tree; most sulfur-sensitive people still tolerate MSM.
• Amalgam tattoos in the jaw or gums may increase the risk for cancers.
• Some benefit from the use of chlorella wrapped in gauze, wet, and placed next to the amalgam or mercury tattoo.
• Acute tooth pain is often a viral infection; red laser and systemic antivirals may be helpful.
• Chronic sinusitis from mold creates Botox-like toxins that may lead to the teeth having no feeling in them.
• Tooth decay in general may be related to lead toxicity.
• When adults have good teeth and end up with decay, it can be the result of internal retrograde mobilization of lead.
• Chlorella pyrenoidosa is a better binder; Chlorella vulgaris is a better nutritional option.
• Ecklonia cava can be helpful as a binder, but is avoided in autism as it acts like Viagra; have never seen constipation with Ecklonia cava.
• Cilantro can be helpful for aluminum, mercury, and lead. (Editor note: Cilantro should be used with the guidance of a doctor only.)
• For the ionic foot baths, it is best to pre-load with binders before a session to minimize the stress on the kidneys.
• You don't want the metals released from a foot bath to go through the kidneys; with binders, they will go through the poop. Some may use as many as 60 tablets of chlorella starting the day before the foot bath and continuing for several days after.
• Chlorella is better for metals; zeolite for chemicals and glyphosate. 
• The worst food for breast cancer is rice.
