Lyme disease is an east coast disease, right? Thats what we’re all taught. Since I am on a vacation in Monterey, CA (on the central ocean coast of california) this week with my family, I decided to spend a few minutes in the hotel room doing some research and making a wonderful video for you. Let’s see about the truth regarding Lyme disease in California.
Since I grew up in California and have lived here my whole life (and probably also got my case of Lyme disease here), this article is very close to home for me. I searched for help for years in California before I found a proper diagnosis. Maybe this information can save you, or a loved one, the same trouble.
BioMed Publishing Group was founded in 2004 by Bryan Rosner. The company exists to educate the world about Lyme disease, tick-borne illness, and related health topics. As a publishing company, we are always looking for new authors with original book ideas.
Are you ready to publish information on Lyme Disease, alternative medicine, or a related topic? BioMed Publishing Group is the leader in providing useful and informative printed and digital informational resources in the arena of tick-borne disease, alternative healthcare, and topics of interest in similar genres. We are always looking for authors who bring new, interesting ideas to our line of products. If you have a book idea or a completed manuscript, we would like to hear about it. Please submit your book proposal here.
Ok, so I am going to talk a little about a topic everyone with Lyme has already heard a lot about - natural antibiotics for Lyme disease. Sure, pharmaceutical antibiotics have their use, but natural antibacterial substances present several important advantages:
Over-the-counter
Non-toxic
Typically does not contribute to candida issues
May also target many other infectious bacteria/viruses/organisms
Not synthetic - no liver and kidney side effects (typically)
Many more advantages
Today we are looking at garlic specifically. Keep reading…
This new book by Pamela Weintraub really is excellent. I do not feel it duplicates any of the other information available in other Lyme disease books, so it is a must-read. Click here to order it. Keep reading to view the foreword for the book written by Hillary Johnson. Or, learn more about the book and read other excerpts here.
Someone recently posted a question about depression and Lyme disease. I answered by excerpting a part of a book I wrote. Here is my opinion on the topic - written 3 years ago - my stance hasn’t changed.
This post is an excerpt taken from my new book, written with Tami Duncan, called The Lyme Autism Connection, available from http://www.lymebook.com/lyme-autism-connection. The post describes many different testing methods and their pros and cons. This is by no means a complete list or complete discussion of the topic. Just some “meaty” information to get you started.
Did you know there are 300 conditions which mimic Lyme disease? This list is critical because if someone is suffering from one of these conditions, they should be tested for Lyme disease!.
New Hampshire has a significant number of Lyme disease cases, with the CDC estimate approximately 46.9 cases per 100,000. In this post I am providing a little overview of Lyme disease in New Hampshire including incidence, geographic distribution per county, and other related data.
The rate of Lyme disease in New Jersey is among the highest, with 27.9 cases per 100,000 people (although this is greatly offset by the number of false negative test results and lack of reportability of the disease according to CDC criteria.
The topic of intravenous antibiotic therapy is quite controversial when it comes to treating Lyme disease. In this post I am sharing an excerpt from my recently published book, “The Top 10 Lyme Disease Treatments.” The post also has a diagram of antibiotics and their relative benefit in Lyme disease according to my research.
In this document, various bacterial strains are discussed along with their origins and geographic prevalence. Note the presence of the bacteria in multiple continents, in countries such as Japan, China, Portugal, Slovenia, and more.

Today Lyme disease appeared as the top story on CNN.com! This has happened several other times in the past; once for a general Lyme story on CNN and once when President Bush was diagnosed with Lyme diesase. The importance of this time, however, was that the CNN article presented what I consider to be a progressive, accurate, and cutting edge view of Lyme disease; not the antiquated views that CNN has presented in the past. In this way, this was a breakthrogh event. Read the full article
Nikola Tesla, a brilliant scientist who lived from 1856 to 1943, made numerous important inventions, one of which was the Tesla Coil. The Tesla Coil is important in science for many reasons. However, one of the Tesla Coil’s most important attributes - yet also one of the least discussed and known - is it’s health benefits.
Nikola Tesla himself was said to enjoy optimal health and a high energy level due to this machine. Can the machine have benefit in Lyme disease and other afflictions? That is the question we will examine in this video - not to mention that you will also get to see a great “fireworks show” on this 4th of July, 2008!
The Tesla Coil I demonstrate in this video is an SSTC-3.9 and was purchased from http://www.teslacoil.net.
DISCLAIMER: I make no claims as to any health benefits of the Tesla Coil, instead, I am simply presenting a hypothesis based on unofficial research.
Heidi, an attendee at the recent Lyme Induced Autism foundation conference, June, 2008, made her notes publicly available! Thanks Heidi! What a special treat to have these notes…enjoy everyone! And don’t miss the JUST PUBLISHED lyme-autism book!

Mercury chelation is a complex topic. Most of what you read is wrong. In my opinion, there is only ONE mercury expert and he is Andy Cutler, Ph.D. Yes, my opinion only - many would disagree with me. Check out Andy’s work and decide for yourself…
Dr. Jones, a prominent and well respected pediatric Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD), continues to battle the state medical board for the right to treat Lyme patients.
His legal battles have been ongoing and brutal. He releases various press statements to alert his supporters of the latest progress. This blog post shares one such press statement.
Please do what you can to support Dr. Jones, who is a hero.
A virulent and nasty strain of Lyme disease is spreading fast. Not just in the USA, but also in Europe. This strain, known as “OspC type A” Lyme disease, can also adapt to new environements and be carried in varied hosts, much more effectively and easily than other types of Lyme disease.
Finally, researchers are catching on to the severity of Lyme disease in modern times. Here is a portion of the article from WebMD:
A virulent strain of Lyme disease germ is spreading in the U.S. and in Europe a new study shows.
June 9, 2008 — A virulent strain of Lyme disease germ is spreading in the U.S. and in Europe, a new study shows.
It’s not a new strain of Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete bacterium that causes Lyme disease. In fact, it was one of the first strains ever identified — found in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with severe Lyme meningitis.
But now Wei-Gang Qiu, PhD, Benjamin Luft, MD, and colleagues find that the particularly nasty ospC type A strain appears to be the most common of the 20 or so B. burgdorferi strains found in the U.S. The spread of this virulent strain, they suggest, could be part of the reason for the increase in Lyme cases seen over the past two decades.
“OspC type A is the type most widely distributed in the U.S. — and, as others have shown, this is the most virulent strain,” Qiu, an assistant professor at New York’s Hunter College, tells WebMD. “If this is widespread, it is not good. You do not want to see this thing increase.” …
The following 4 videos are one man’s experience with MMS. I found Jeremy’s videos interesting. In my opinion, so far it is very clear that MMS does in fact have an effect on Lyme disease. It appears to work as an antibiotic in some ways. Maybe even a very powerful one. The question remains though…will it lose its effect like all antibiotics do? Or, will it have some kind of long-term, breakthrough effect?
Negative ions are known for their healing effect. In this post, I am going to share an excerpt from an excellent book, and also a video about negative ions. I was recently asked a question on YouTube about this topic so I am responding via this blog post. Here was the question:
Hi Brian. Thanks for the post. I too have felt a tremendous benefit from the negative ions and sunshine while being at the beach. As you seem to have a lot of experience with technology related to health, what are your thoughts on negative ion generators having a similar effect on the body? I’m speaking specifically about machines designed to emit a large amount of negative ions into the air, and aren’t just air purifiers that use negative ions to attract dust and pollutants.
Truth is I don’t know the answer, but in this post I will share what I do know and also, I will ask readers to share their experiences.
Most people mistakenly believe Lyme is a physical disorder not related to the central nervous system and brain. In fact, Lyme is primarily a disease of the brain! Yes, PRIMARILY. This fact needs to be more well-appreciated and widely known and accepted.
I was a healthy yoga tacher, hiking weekly in Northern Cali (San francisco area) until I got bit at age 26 but didn’t know it, after 6 months of flu like/vertigo , joint stiffness, barely could walk far, etc. and heart/lung/fatigue debilitation I got diagnosed. Then I realized the mark on my ankle was pink rash/bulls eye like. I got 100% well from a year + of antibiotics and proper rest, but it relapsed 3 years later full swing. For last 2 years I was sick as a dog again, same issues, and also depleted my life in all areas to the point I had to stop teaching yoga again, this time even move out of my apt. to my mothers town in New mexico for 6 month to heal.
This video was provided to me by a chiropractor who sees these spirochetes in the blood of his patients often. He says the trick to seeing the spirochetes is to let the blood sit out for a while. As the red blood cells die and the pH, temperature, and o2 content of the blood changes, the spirochetes venture out and can be seen with the microscope.
Today I am going to share a video put together by Amy Proal, author of the Bacteriality
Blog. Her video is very, very comprehensive and goes into detail on all aspects of the Marshall Protocol. I highly recommend watching it (below). Comprehensive at 89 minutes, this video is a must-see for anyone considering the Marshall Protocol.
One of the most fascinating aspects of her video, in my opinion, is that she talks about a topic which I have always known to be true: that cephalosporin antibiotics (also known as beta lactims) actually PROMOTE formation of dangerous l-form bacteria, meaning that using antibiotics such as penicillin, amoxicillin, or rocephin, can lead to a worsening of chronic disease. This is a must-watch video!
Blog post from Bonnie Slack, bojesl@yahoo.com Bonnie is a guest blogger and shares her thoughts on spirituality as it relates to the Lyme struggle.
The biblical concept of sowing and reaping has always intrigued me. There is a barbaric and creepy example of it in Judges 1. The Israelites go in and capture a local king, Adoni-Bezek, and they cut off his thumbs and big toes. Yikes! Then he says, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.”
The incidence of Lyme disease in Maine continues to increase, and the rate of increase in incidence this year is significant compared to previous years. While this might be partially explained by growing awareness of the signs and symptoms of early Lyme disease among healthcare providers, and in the public, it is also likely that the number of new infections is truly increasing.
Most of the increases in reported incidence have occurred in southern Maine and in the midcoast. Some inland areas, including Kennebec County, have also experienced an upsurge in reported cases, a phenomenon that is consistent with ecological studies tracking changes in deer tick populations.

This article was contributed by Richard Loyd, Ph.D., founder of www.royalrife.com. Note the recurring theme of mold issues appearing over and over in Lyme Disease literature. This is shaping up to be a very important issue. For more information, I suggest reading “Mold Illness and Mold Remediation Made Simple” by James Schaller, M.D., available at www.lymebook.com/moldbook. You may also visit www.usmoldphysician.com to find out the latest on Dr. Schaller’s mold research.
In this post we will look at Post Lyme Syndrome - is it real or not? First, a little background. Current antibiotic guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control are vastly inadequate and based on antiquated, inaccurate, and unreliable data.
While some people do get well by following these guidelines, a significant percentage do not. Many people remain sick despite a two or three week course of doxycycline or penicillin—the length and choice of antibiotic therapy which the Centers for Disease Control dogmatically and ignorantly insist is adequate treatment. Recent estimates suggest that up to 30% of Lyme Disease cases do not get resolved after following these CDC guidelines.
The state of Massachusetts (MA) has consistently ranked in the top ten states in the US in reported Lyme disease cases; however its numbers are decidedly on the rise. In 2005, for example, MA ranked 4th nationwide in case numbers with 2,341 reported Lyme cases to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 46% increas
