Lyme Disease and the Nervous System with Patricia K. Coyle, MD

[@joshuamylesgibson]

Brilliant. I wished she was the ER physician when I went to the ER x5 with lyme trying to figure out what i was dying from. 6 plus weeks of lyme carditis at home with zero intervention, 6 months total of sepsis and migrating symptoms. You know what saved me? My brother gave me his veterinarian prescribed doxycycline! I didn't hesitate and took his DOG'S medicine! After a single week I felt AMAZING.. I'm still not out of the water but I'm going to keep fighting. Went to the er five times, the drs office four, and a lung specialist --NOTHING.

I know this thread is old but I have been suffering so long! I have Lyme disease. I tested positive abt 12 years ago after being ill on and off for almost a year. I thought finally I have an answer! I was put on a corse of antibiotics for 10 days to get me through until my appointment at Yale Rheumatology could see me. I started to feel better after the medicine kicked in but when I got to the first Yale appointment they ran their tests and they told me I had Rheumatoid Arthritis! I was back to my old sick self and today I am very sick! I have so many different things wrong and many of them are what you are talking about in this video! I can't even think straight half of the time! I feel sick more and more with each passing week! I am tired of doctors who don't see this for what it is and I had positive test results! I feel hopeless! Thanks this makes me feel hopeful!

I’m frustrated that she’s not talking about different labs. I was tested two or three times over the years for Lyme and it was always negative. I am seeing a functional medicine doctor now and he sent the blood to Vibrant Wellness in San Carlos California. They picked up 88 different antibodies to almost every type of Borrelia. They also picked up Bartonella, Babesia, Aflatoxins, Trichothecenes, and mycotoxins !! if my doctors only used, vibrant wellness 25 years ago, I would have not lost my life and dreams.

[@Arthuriantimes]

I contracted Lyme in 2015 and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I couldn't walk, couldn't lift my arm, couldn't sleep and I was in severe pain 24 hours a day. Lyme is horrendous. After a few weeks in hospital the doctor's told me that they couldn't do anything. What saved me was Buhner's protocol. I read his book and then followed his protocol to the letter. I also devoured books on body chemistry and how the immune system works. When I told the doctors I was going to try and heal myself using herbs and a special diet they just laughed. Yeah well what else was I supposed to do? It was a very slow process because first you have to reboot your immune system and second you have to fight the bacteria of which actually hides from your immune system - known as 'pathogenic bacteria'. What is different about the Lyme bacteria to other bacteria is that they eat the magnesium in your body whereas most bacteria eat iron. Without magnesium your muscles just can't work. Most antibiotics are made to protect the iron in your body but not the magnesium - that is why normal antibiotics fail against Lyme (if you wait too long). Using Buhner's protocol I gradually began to improve. I won't lie, it was the fight of my life and took about one year to fully recover. Only when all the bacteria was gone could I then begin to build up my muscles again. Today I play golf and am an 8 handicap. Anyone who has Lyme - don't give up - your body can kill it. It takes a special diet, special herbs and sheer will power. If I ever contracted it again however, I don't think I could go through it a second time and would probably just end my life. That's how vicious it is. If any one wants to actually hear my full Lyme story I made a video about it and posted it on my youtube space. I tell of what actually happened, how I defeated it and the consequences afterwards. Take care out there.

[@GarrettPotter-u9p]

Thank you for this information! Can you elaborate on your diet? I've heard a strict carnivore diet for 7 months has cured some people.

[@Arthuriantimes]

​@@GarrettPotter-u9p You must certainly not eat any red meat -chicken is fine and so Turkey is even better. Basically white meat is good. Vegetables - the darker green the better as this washes out the poisons in your blood - the poison comes from the Lyme bacteria dying. When they die they release toxins and it is the toxins that make us feel unwell - so you need to wash it out - so plenty of water and dark green vegetables.Cut out ALL sugar - non whatsoever - all bacteria thrive on sugar so you must deny them that luxury. Take a glass of hot water with a squeezed lemon every day as this will change your blood to a more alkaline base - bacteria hate alkaline based blood - you will gradually feel better as well. I made a video about what I did but I have had so many people contact me with questions I am considering making a step by step video sowing how I did it - explaining the diet and the herbs I used and what the herbs do- on the mean time I hope this helps. Good luck.

I’ve been sick for 1 1/2 years. For months. I thought I had parasites. Drs. Kept telling me I was delusional! Yet, I had parasites coming out of my pores with sores full of them. It felt like a horror show. Finally, I learned I have Lyme disease and my immune system has allowed parasites to over populate. I have found out the hard way not to take photos or samples to a Dr. appointment or they automatically think you’re mentally I’ll. It’s been a long road so far but I’m trying to heal according to a Dr. with natural herbals. It’s my only choice as so many specialists have rejected me when seeing my chart. So I’m dismissed before I can talk to the doctor. Thanks for sharing your story & advice. Bless you. I hope you get well soon.❤

[@paulaflatt2936]

Wonderful talk! Very knowledgeable on Lyme disease. I had neurological Lyme and I live in TN. I actually contracted twice in 5 yrs. First time I did not have EM and went incorrectly diagnosed and treated incorrectly by 6-8 doctors. The second time I had a very large EM and found a Dr. who would treat me an was knowledgeable about Lyme so then I was treated for acute and chronic Lyme. It took two yrs to get me into remission but I still have joint pain, myalgia and spinal pain and radiculopathy.

Psychiatric issues, I had to lose weight, and I was on too many medications (all prescribed for the symptoms I was experiencing). This video sooooo angers me. She clearly is an expert in the field, yet as a treating physician, was no different than any other doctor I'd already seen for years and years...

From what I know in order to be diagnosed with Lyme Disease a patient must have a positive ELISA test and a positive WESTERN BLOT according to the CDC.

Strep throat causes turrets ocd condition. If you have a condition like turrets, the cdc get the drs to say the patient have dellusions of Parasitosis. They wouldn't have their condition without the spirochetes attaining the autoimmune system and brain. That is why they have ocd. The ocd is not the cause it is the result. If they had ocd before they were likely to have streptococcus or some other viruses before. You can have more than one. There are many viruses about. I am a morgellons sufferer and this is what happens. I have found people that have not even got an ocd condition, with morgellons disease the cr follows the script of offering the md sufferer with a phychiatrist.

She has not learned enough from her experience in diagnosing and treating lyme, and I wonder what percentage of her patients end up going elsewhere for treatment afterwards, because she will not help them for as long as they need help. She only departs slightly from CDC orthodoxy. This is a shame because it means we will not get the kind of neurological expertise that is needed. Neurolyme is far more common in the U.S. than she describes and that is orthodoxy too that fails to detect it. Many people have both neuro and arthritic symptoms in the U.S. Seems like a neurologist should know this by now. She is still relying on the two tier test, so that tells you right away that this is old school outdated information. Says direct tests not available, and disses those who have had effective ones. This sure won't get us any further. Nothing said is adequate to reveal what happens in cases that are late catches, and people who never saw the tick. This is the buik of those who end up failing the acute stage treatment she and everyone else follows, thanks to CDC and IDSA incompetence. And NIH giving insufficient funding for years and to the same people who guarantee not to rock the boat, or get us even one step closer to real help. This is where culture could work, unlike early stage diseases when it isn't fast enough. If you have already had lyme undiagnosed and untreated for several years, what is another month to wait for culture results? Another issue with her talk is that she describes differences between Eurasian and American lyme cases, but does not address the possibility of strain and species differences in the U.S., which there certainly are and may affect the presentation and symptoms that are produced. Looking for summer flu in a case that was mostly latent for several years is not going to be helpful long after. Should we not be finding out why these cases don't blow up for several years? Is it a different strain that produces different time frames? And the biggest failure here is to understand that treatments for acute cases will not cure chronic cases as reliably as she seems to think, or maybe she just doesn't understand infection well enough to treat it in all its variability. An open mind is better when dealing with microbial disease or you will never be effective in treatment, or understand that microbes can elude the best that humans can currently throw at them.

And around that time I was also diagnos ed with a mental diagnosis and now I have two more and sometimes I wonder if I need all this medicine at worse or better I don't know but I know all my joints hurt they take their turn s my knees go in and out the doctor told me the other day that's just ospreys cuz I pushed it out for him and pops is it connected could it be connected I live in Georgia I was diagnosed in Georgia hadn't left to stay if it got on me then I had it a long time before they found it because after that back surgery I couldn't fishing camp for a while I barely went outside. And of course I don't know what it could have been me and let go fell off. But I just don't know either way I get a nervous relief about all things My hands will shake and my skin will burn would that have anything to do with it and what kind of space would I need to see I mean there's lots of neurologists but so far the last two years four different doctors have told me no I'm never seen that I've never heard that let me refer you to someone though. Do you have any recommendations I love listening to you I don't know what CV means or some of the other things but I get most of it thank you please continue

[@KathleenJean53]

Her certainty about what physicians should be seeing or doing is very unnerving. The physicians I have sought out are not inquisitive, they are not treating full blown Lyme. They send you away very sick and don’t seem to care what happens to you. Frankly, we are very tough cases. There is a lot to be learned from our cases but the majority of physicians, so I hear of and have experienced, cover their ears. These therapies are inadequate, 21 or 28 days is ridiculous with a slow growing organism. We are caught in a living hell. Hello, is anybody in charge listening?

Cryptolepis Sanguinolenta, look up this herb. It appears to be what I've been looking for since I got bit back in 1984. I just started but all the research I've done says this is the best broad spectrum antibiotic and it is just a lowly herb with about 42 members in the same family. It appears to be extremely effective but of course, since it is easy to obtain, big pharma won't study it because they cannot patent it.

[@jameswest4819]

Hello Kathleenie, I got bit by two innocent looking little ticks in 1984 on my left ankle and since there were two of them there wasn't a bullseye rash, only and itchy red one. A day or so later, I had flulike symptoms. Back then there wasn't much known about Lime Disease. I was really sick for a couple years on and off...mostly on. There are about 30 varieties of lime disease that I've heard of an they only test for 2 or 3 on the west coast, and those don't exist on the west coast...go figure. At first the only things that seemed to help me, by accident, were taking two broad spectrum antibiotics for around 2 months for a bad infection on my legs and repetitive scuba diving. That didn't stop it all the way but seems to have helped a lot. Later I read about hyperbaric chambers supersaturating your body with oxygen to help heal gangrenous wounds. The spirochetes are pretty sneaky and hide out in various tissues. Instead of using oxygen to "breath" they use manganese which apparently confuses our immune systems. I opted to use a chelated manganese supplement because my nervous system was being compromised by the little rascals. The root that I tried was not a miracle cure but seemed to have helped a little.

[@gardenjoy5223]

You got lucky. My life is ruined by Lyme Disease. Late stage detected in 2009 due to ACA, a Lyme specific skin disease. Got 6 weeks or oral Doxicycline. Thought I was healed, but symptoms crawled back in, very undefined ones at first. Had no clue, until it was too late. Extreme headaches, shooting pains, numbness, muscle pains, exhaustion, joint pains, rashes, allergies popping up, emotions all over the place like I wasn't myself, tinnitus, extreme sensory overloads, POTS, etc. Didn't get proper treatment for years. Finally found a doctor who gave me longer term antibiotics and also in my veins. Got extremely ill of that, couldn't handle the full regime. Stayed on it for 9 months on and off. Things were going much better. But I relapsed and there's nothing helping now. Day before yesterday I was working in the garden a bit with the sun being low. Day after so sick! Dizzy from a few minutes drive. Dizzy from getting up from a chair. Walking like a drunk person, so unsteady. Yeah, I'm totally oversensitive for light. Hadn't thought of it, while working in the garden (very light sitting work). Before Lyme I was energetic, slim, eating real well, normally sportive. Now I'm a cripple, who can't walk longer than a few to fifteen minutes, before I literally cannot move anymore. I'm very sensitive to sound. I'm extremely sensitive to smells. Call myself half a dog, for I search the fire, when someone makes a coffee in another room! Am exhausted ALL the time, leg muscles can hardly get me up the stairs. I ought to be in the prime of my life, but my health is worse than that of my elderly neighbors in their late 80s and early 90s... The disease is running it's course alright... I've tried Everything in my power. Herbs, training, diet, antibiotics... So tired. My mind at times still creative, but the power to execute my ideas long gone. Won't have it for true on my good days. So my house is full of stuff I can't handle on all the other not-good-at-all days. Happy for you, that you got over it. But yeah, you got lucky. The rest of us not so much. Did I mention the constant bullying by doctors? The love to add insult to injury. You are not helped, but you are ridiculed, dis-believed, sometimes even named it's all in my head. Oh God, revenge me on those mean bastards in white coats, getting good money for deserting and hurting us. Lost my thyroid gland, lost my uterus: they were making knots. Now my lower back is rubbish, 4 discs of my neck severely damaged. The idiot doctor had the nerve to even blame me for that. You just got lucky.

[@askchristine111]

​@@gardenjoy5223 Lyme is definitely challenging and hope you can start finding your own healing. The pathogen can get very, very dark and destructive if you give in. Of all the modalities I've tried to get well since, biomagnetic pair therapy has been the most painless, least expensive, and the most effective long term, and the Fremedica Wave One device and Primal Trust limbic training have been helped with mindset, and long term emotional and immune support. Hope you find your way! Maybe a local Lyme support group can help.

Wouldn't long term antibiotics help because of the slow life cycle of the Bb. Spiro?

[@ambergypsy9]

They do help, but the moment ABX are taken, the Borrelia go into cyst form or create Biofilms that doesn't allow the ABX to penetrate. Treatment needs to be staggered, changed around and then the stealth pathogen can be taken by surprise after it comes out of hiding.

[@raymcdonalds5209]

What a load of crap. Abx depresses your immune system? You become antibiotic resistant to other infections? How can someone who has active infection, assumingly lyme, say this nonsense? You know there are persisting infections besides lyme that need long term abx treatment for years, like tuberculosis? The chance of dying from not treating tuberculosis is way higher than the chance of dying from resistence to other infections. With your attitude towards medicine, a lot of people dealing with lyme, tuberculosis and other long term infections would die, simply because you have no REAL data that shows anything that you claim to say and ALL the opposite data showing what happens when you dont't treat.

[@samaria9978]

Antibiotics are not the ideal treatment for Lyme, but regarding conventional treatment it was all they were willing and able to use....until the insurance companies balked at the cost of long-term use. Now there is no conventional cure as far as I know. One needs to see a LLMD, which will cost a lot, or research alternative therapies and muddle through. As soon as someone starts to use demeaning criticism to antagonize others when they make an honest comment it is a sure indication that industry shills are out and about.

[@lou-nc4rc]

They have helped a lot of people, if they could get them. Many cannot.

[@BriBorgersen]

The antibiotics help to kill the bacteria but as someone mentioned already it forces them to go into a protective biofilm which then makes the antibiotics useless. So in addition to the antibiotics, a biofilm buster needs to be taken to break the biofilm and allow the antibiotics to kill the bacteria.

Information is constantly updating, and recommendations made even a few years ago by the best doctors are already outdated. It may have been the best they could come up with at the time. Thankfully, times are changing and new breakthroughs are within our reach. Phage testing can now be done to tell for sure whether or not Lyme is present in the body. Look up RED laboratories on YT. Dr. 'T' is the former head of clinical studies at the Pasteur Institute. Here's hoping this kind of testing will become mainstream, and we will no longer have to depend on ineffective (and prohibitively expensive) testing that gives false negatives, forcing so many of us to continue in our suffering. Phage therapy is on the horizon, and there is a trial currently ongoing with phages and energy medicine used to treat Lyme. Search "New Lyme-Phage Treatment Appears to Eliminate Borrelia" and "The Effect of Antibiotics on The Phageome and Microbiome." Educate yourselves, and keep your finger on the pulse to stay up to date. Hopefully soon we will be able to beat this monster. At this point I feel like I can't even go in my backyard or get a dog now (was considering it, as my own beloved pup died over 2 years ago). This neuro-Lyme is so bad, if I ever get over it, I don't ever want to deal with it again!
