When ALS is Lyme :
Examining the link between ALS and Neuroborreliosis.
"FACTS DO NOT CEASE TO EXIST BECAUSE THEY ARE IGNORED." ~ Aldous Huxley
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM CANNOT KILL THE BORRELIA IN THE BRAIN...
See Page 149 of the above link.
"The brain is am Immune-privileged site. T-Cells do NOT circulate in the brain - they are not able to pass the blood-brain barrier. So that's it ! The bacteria are in the brain and they are there to stay !!...
This is NOT good news for us... !!
On page 151 - there is comment as to why Neuroborreliosis does not show up on Lyme tests which is also very interesting. Ms Kathleen Dickson, has always maintained that what we know as Lyme is in fact Relapsing Fever.
Kathleen Dickson is a Analytical Chemist who used to work for Pfizer.

Chronic Lyme disease mimics 350 different diseases
See this link for an interesting video on this subject. Chronic Lyme disease is really complex multi-system, multi-neuroendocrine, multi-infectious disease that mimics over 350 different inflammatory diseases. You can get Lyme disease from a tick bite, in-utero or it can be sexually transmitted. Left improperly treated, you will go on to develop Chronic Lyme disease.

ALS Lou Gehrig's Disease, MS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's... it could really be Lyme
ALS Lou Gehrig's Disease, MS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer' ... it could really be Lyme Disease !!
Dr Dietrick Klinghardt states in this video that he has never had an ALS - Lou Gerhig disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's or Alzheimer's patient who has NOT tested positive for Lyme disease (Borrelia bordorferi).
Please watch the link for the video. You owe it to yourself !

We're Misunderstood
This blog is written by a young lady who was diagnosed with Lyme disease in January 2011.
As she says: "Lyme disease is an epidemic larger than AIDS, West Nile Virus, and Bird Flu combined. The "great imitator", Lyme affects each person differently. Millions are silently suffering, improperly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ALS, Alzheimer's, Psychiatric Disorders, and many others."
It is bad enough dealing with Chronic Lyme Disease and the many co-infections that go with it, but sometimes it is even harder trying to deal with the may sceptics and critics who pass comment when they are ignornant about the ravages of these illnesses. It really is like having the sword of Damocleas hanging over you.
This blog is truely inspirational and the article "We're Misunderstood" could have been written by me, but after 30 years of battling this illness with no diagnosis, I don't think I could have stated it so well.

Will Family and Friends ever understand... ?
I continually get frustrated as family just do not get what Lyme is all about, despite seeing me live with it for about 25 years. Now matter how much you try to explain to others what is is like living with Lyme, unless they themselves have Lyme, they just won't get it.
If you are lucky, they may grasp certain aspects of your suffering, but don't waste your energy trying to justify why you can't work or why even a trip to the shops for groceries can feel like a major expedition for you. You can talk yourself blue in the face trying to explain why you should eat organic at every meal, why loud places, loud noises and music can drive you demented. Why even perfume no longer smells as good as it did year before your illness...
The problem is, people with Lyme generally look so well and healthy that it is difficult for others to comprehend they are not well. Maybe even trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes...
Even telling your family and friends that Lyme disease is the reason for your memory loss, they will still wonder why you forget to turn off the tap, put the frozen food back in the fridge instead of the microwave to defrost or even why you leave the stove on. They will tell you to pull yourself towards yourself and won't understand your bouts of anxiety and/or depression.

Multiple Sclerosis... or could it be Lyme disease ?
Doctors still do not have answers to the question of what causes multiple sclerosis.
However, there is interesting data that suggest that genetics, a person's environment, and possibly even a virus may play a role.
Did you know that many people who are diagnosed with MS also test positive for Lyme disease.
This was my experience. I was diagnosed in 2000 with possible MS and it was only in February 2010 that I tested positive to Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi).

Lyme Disease - Misdiagnoses And Medical Dictatorship
QUOTE:
"Hundreds of thousands of sick, disabled and dying people are intentionally being denied proper testing, diagnoses and treatment. Many feel that this is due to the greed of the pharmeceutical companies and perhaps the depopulation goals of the bureaucratic elite. The later isn't such a far fetched idea. Henry Kissenger himself, in his National Security Memorandum, advised the President that there were 13 countries in Africa which were growing much too rapidly, were threatening the availability of certain resources, and that we needed to either decrease the birth rate or increase the death rate. Not too long after this proposal, the World health Organization visited these countries with free smallpox vaccines. Several years later 60% of the people who recieved these shots, presented with the AIDS virus. A similar scenerio took place in NYC. Hepatitis B vaccines were given out free to promiscuous gay men. Soon after, 60% of this population also came down with AIDS."

Lyme - The unknown epidemic
Millions of people who are diagnosed with MS, fibromyalgia, Alzheimers, chronic fatigue syndrome and other degenerative diseases could well have Lyme Disease causing or contributing to their illness/es. Forget everything you may previously have read about Lyme. It is not a rare disease at all. It is an epidemic.

Report of Lyme Disease in South Africa
"Lyme disease in South Africa"
Sonet c. Strijdom, Michael Berk
(click title for link)
Objective. This article presents an overview of Lyme disease (LD) as it applies to neuropsychiatry and summarises research results on the epidemiology of LD in South Africa.
Method. The study is based on a review of research papers from various medical disciplines that focused onthe epidemiology of LD in South Africa.
Results. Assessment of the incidence of LD in South Africa is based on a few anecdotal studies. The results of the studies are dominated by experimental weaknesses.
Conclusions. The sporadic nature of LD incidence in South Africa may either reflect a restriction of research efforts or be a true indication of the epidemiology of the disease.
This review lends support to the former hypothesis. The low reported incidence of LD in South
Africa is probably due to a lack of awareness and research effort.

Since 1995 I have firmly believe after extensive research on my part that I had Lyme Disease but I was told emphatically there was NO way I could have it as Lyme Disease was only found in Connecticut, USA.
Well, 15 years later Lyme Disease has been diagnosed as one of illnesses that are afflicting my body. This disease is cased by Borrelia.
Click on the above title for a link to a report on the prevalenceo of this disease in South Africa. The research was conducted by researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand, where I was employed until recently when it became impossible for me to do my job any longer due to the ravages of these illnesses on my body.
It is my opinion that MUCH more research needs to be put in to this area and I have to wonder as to how many people are out there suffering like I am, with a wrong diagnosis.
In 2000 I was given the diagnosis of 'possible multiple sclerosis'..... then when a MRI showed no further signs of plaque growth on the brain, I was told it may be Lupus, or Epstein Barr, Maybe Sjogren's disease, etc, etc. I was even on medication for 'epilepsy' for 5 years because the doctors didn't know what was wrong with me.
So for the best part of 25 years I have continually felt ill and weak and my family think I am a hypochondriac.
Even with my diagnosis in February 2010 of
Rickettsia Coronii,
Q Fever (Coxiella Burnetti),
Mycoplasma pneumoniae,
Chlamydia pneumoniae and
Lyme Disease,
they say it is all in my mind. Actually, I believe my ex boss thinks the same because I look fine on the outside, if just a little tired.....
