Lyme Disease and EMFs
Tue 8:59 am +00:00, 28 May 2024 1An In-Depth Look Into Lyme Disease – Interview With Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt (youtube.com)
Klinghardt is adamant about patients addressing exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) during treatment. In fact, he will not treat you unless you take steps to minimize your EMF exposure, as it can have a truly profound impact on the disease.
He’s convinced the increased virulence we’re now seeing is related to the dramatic increase in EMFs and microwave radiation from cellphones, cell towers, and all manner of wireless technologies.
According to Klinghardt, mitigating EMFs “has been a more successful strategy to treating Lyme disease and to get people neurologically well than any of the antibiotics or any of the antimicrobial compounds.” He also believes heavy metal toxicity exacerbates the problem.
In the video above, I interview Klinghardt about Lyme disease, testing, and treatment options. A list of his biological Lyme protocol can be found on KlinghardtInstitute.com.17 In 2017, he also published a paper18 in the American Journal of Immunology detailing his protocol for both the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme. It’s available as a free PDF download.
Lumbrokinase Helps Break Down Biofilms
Another treatment component worth mentioning is lumbrokinase, a group of proteolytic (protein digesting) enzymes that act as fibrinolytic agents. B. burgdorferi can live and thrive in biofilms inside your body, and lumbrokinase has been shown to help break down these infected biofilms.19
When pathogenic bacteria hide within biofilms, they can feed and replicate out of the reach of your immune system. As such, they remain strong and unaffected by any antimicrobial medications such as antibiotics and herbs that you may be taking.
The fact that lumbrokinase breaks down fibrinogen is an important aspect of Lyme treatment because the pathogenic bacteria use fibrinogen, which they convert to fibrin, to strengthen their network.
Lyme expert Dr. Marty Ross, an integrative medicine specialist and founder of The Healing Arts Partnership in Seattle, uses lumbrokinase, both alongside antibiotics, and for patients in whom antibiotics fail.20
If you and your doctor determine lumbrokinase is right for you, be sure to buy a high-quality, reputable brand. Certain brands are available in capsule form at a dose of 600,000 IU (international unit), or 40 mg, which are recommended for Lyme sufferers in the form of a daily dose of 1 to 2 capsules taken in the morning, afternoon and at bedtime.
Generally, lumbrokinase should be taken only under the advisement of your doctor and can be dangerous if taken with blood-thinning medication. In addition, it’s contraindicated in all medical conditions associated with an increased risk of bleeding.
How to Protect Yourself From Tick-Borne Diseases (mercola.com)
Fascinating info thanks Tap. My wife was told that she had Lyme disease a couple of years ago after a routine biopsy following the removal of a facial wart by her doctors. This despite the fact that she had never had a tick bite! The treatment consisted of a 3 week dose of powerful antibiotics and this completely floored her for months
We were both very suspicious about the proposed treatment but didn’t have this info then. So she complied and suffered accordingly. Her gut biome was hammered and it took weeks of probiotics, other supplements and gut supporting foods to bring her back to balance
The mad thing is that the follow up blood test was “borderline” but her quack said “don’t worry you’ve taken the antibiotics so all is ok”. It felt more of an arse covering by the quack than a real threat. A very unsatisfactory experience all round, but she is fine now I’m pleased to say
