VVH-TV News -- Lyme Disease: Medical Nightmare (Part 2)

Why was my comment not posted?

I am from Long Island, originally, but moved to the west coast of Florida in 1977. I went doctor to doctor, when I could, for soooooo many years, being told the old "in your head" routine. They were sooooo mean. By 2007, I was near death, and I finally found the Infectious Disease Doc who saved my life, and has tried to help keep me alive. I was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Typhus. The Lyme was discovered after an MRI showed the brain lesions. (It's in my head now!)

Excellent post. Thank you. Did you hear the line that nothing will change with insurance coverage until we get corporate money out of campaign contributions? Campaign finance reform is a must, if we want to reclaim our democracy and our health.

[TheDogRibs]

I can't listen to this because it is too upsetting. "The doctor laughed." It's time for a revolution against the medical industry in this country. The problem is they have money, power, discourse, and legal protection. If a doctor laughs at you, spit in his or her face.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do internet research on using SEA SALT for curing Lyme. I had it for seven months before I was diagnosed, and doxycycline only made me sicker. I took a shot of about 1/2 teaspoon of RAW SEA SALT in a small amount of water, and in only hours I felt better than I had in months! I continued this maybe three times a day for several days and it ended my Lyme. I take this "shot" every now and then just to be sure it stays gone. IT WORKS. DO RESEARCH. TELL THE PEOPLE!!

Hey guys....PLEASE register at the Oprah Winfrey website and let her know how much you would like to see her do a show on Lyme disease. Dr. Oz thinks the "UNDER OUR SKIN" documentary is wonderful but a show about Lyme won't be done unless she sees lots of interest. Request that LLMDS and patients be the guests so that we can be heard. Also, Daryl Hall would make a great guest. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !

God Bless,

Elaine

"melikerns" idea to openeyepictures

The movie has brought much needed awareness, however, why don't you post a list of petitions,a list of political representatives that we can contact. Put the links on your page; this will make it easier for those who barely have the energy to move. Please

I read a book years ago, called "Sugar Blues" by William Dufty. An absolute read. He states that during the Bubonic Plague, the rich who could afford sugars, were dropping like flies, the poor country folk who could not, faired well.

[Prethenie]

Google....."Low Dose Naltrexone Homepage." And also here on You tube..."Controlling Lyme Disease," and see the LDN videos by "TropicalDawg" here as well. I have been using LDN, for just over a week now, and feel the need to pass the buzz. This is a drug that helps with the immune system, inflammation and endorphins. Eat as if you had a yeast problem, because Lyme loves what yeast loves. And no sugars of any kind..."Including Fruit!"

[Prethenie]

Has anyone considered? that the heavy spraying of Chemtrails, may have contributed to our susceptability to Lyme Disease?

[sickfrmtick]

Don't waste time with Dr. Donta- he simply does not treat aggresivly enough anymore- I have seen many of his victoms in wheelchairs and on crutches- he uses tetra only an it is not effecient in crossing the bbb. If you are in the northeast, you're screwed- There is nobody to help us here- you need to travel but in the end you will get better with a doctor atually treating.

[Azorka82]

sickfrmtick: You write under the notion antibiotics crossing the BBB are a good thing. I'm not so certain. Tetracycline has been known since at least the 1950's to induce lupus; doxy causes encephalitis (brain swelling); and minocycline most certainly does. All three cross BBB when amoxicillin doesn't nearly as much yet is reportedly equally effective in treating Lyme spirochette. Seems that sending antibiotic neuro-toxins across the BBB deep into the brain (stem) could be the cause of symptoms.

[Azorka82]

Doxy crosses the blood brain barrier. Leading Lyme researcher, Sam Donta,(and who appears to be pro-antibiotic) said he isn't certain Lyme spirochette *ever* crosses the BBB. So why so severe an antibiotic as doxy when amoxicillin is sufficient enough to kill the spirochette (but doesn't cross the BBB nearly as much as doxy)? MS is described as a disease of the BBB. Connection to antibiotics causing these auto-immune diseases since they're in experimental stage with sending them across BBB?

If anyone knows how I can become involved in Lyme advocacy in the NJ/NY area please send me a message. I want to get involved.

[LymeAwareness]

The story with the mother losing her children is unfucking believable. We need to fight this.

[texasdar]

Hey texasdar, Beelined here. You tube...."Controlling Lyme Disease." I shared about my LDN, new experiment. I actually washed my car by hand today. There is something to the LDN. It helps kick in the immune system. And no sugar.

[ecftube]

Hi everyone,

I am a Lyme patient from Virginia that has written a Lyme brochure with 2 Lyme specialists. Would happy to email anyone a copy.

[jamescase13]

32 yrs with lyme, 6 bart and babs. we need to STOP this.

[oldimsaguy]

As a Lyme sufferer here in NorCal, USA I condemn the beings that are manifesting themselves in the Health Insurance Industrial Complexes' denial of Lyme patients need for chronic medical care. May God strike you with the compassion that you charge people for. Criminals need to be held accountable!!

[newduke48]

my name is Joseph Ball and i have been suffering with lyme for over 20 yrs

[JadyDavisTV]

Wow! I don't know how long I have had it, but this is a horrible situation and I am sorry that you have had to deal with this illness. Feel better, and never give up hope <3 JD (16 years)

[gg449333]

I suffered from Lyme for over eight years. I was fortunate to find a doctor, Tick Borne Disease Center, in NJ who treated me aggressively, three and a half months on intervenious anitbiotic. That was five years ago and I am able to function most days on a normal basis.

It is more expensive for insurance companies to pay long term medical expenses of someone ill for a lifetime. Lyme disease does not go away by itself.

[ddviolinist]

bless these people. I am tired of the human race and their greed. Seriously, I have had it. I lost my health insurance, after paying out of pocket for 18 years, because they found a gentic issue with me. I am not sick. I have no recourse. I am beginning to hate people and the fact they will even work for these companies. If they wouldn't the companies wouldn't fly

[RaiseCFSawareness]

Excellent video.

[cotmh]

Thank you for this video, Thanks to Dr. B for all your work w/LD. Although any video re: LD is important, I was disappointed that the experts in this video didn't talk much about other parts of the country. Md's out West believe this is an E. Coast Disease. Also important & missed, ALL ticks are carriers,not just Deer Ticks. More education needs to be directed at the West Coast where thousands are sick as well.

[Urgelt]

Thank you for sharing this video on YouTube, VVHTV. Much appreciated!

[sacredrivers]

Wow, great, great work folks.

Thank you for this excellent presentation of the truth an the facts. :)
