Fighting Infections With Strategic Bacteria

Whether you are being ravaged by C. Diff bacteria, fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or bed-ridden from Lyme disease, it is important to know how health can potentially be restored, and how health is maintained in spite of having potentially disease causing bacteria in your body. If you have not read my previous two articles on this topic you might want to read them as well. (Bacterial Wars, and Targeted Bacteria)

Bacterial wars within the human body have been ongoing since the beginning of time between your body's army of friendly bacteria called probiotics, and the myriad of invading bacteria that cause infectious diseases. The fact that humanity still exists is a testament to the fact that in a relatively healthy body our bacterial army has routinely won the battles against invading bacteria of all types. Researchers now know that every human on the planet has over a hundred species of potentially disease-causing bacteria living in them without causing disease, as long as the overall health of the host person is maintained. It is just one of the roles of our friendly population (army) of bacteria, to control or prevent these potentially bad bacteria from causing disease. 

A person might ask, "Why do we suffer so badly from invasions of Lyme bacteria, Clostridium, E. Coli, and Staph if the probiotic army of our body is so good at killing the bad bacteria?" In my previous two articles I discussed how depleted our army has gotten from the overuse of antibiotics, and other things that kill the very bacteria that sustain us on every level. 

Mainstream medicine's response to infections is to set off what is essentially a nuclear bomb inside the body, when they use powerful antibiotics which kill everything, your army and the invaders. With antibiotics, your life-sustaining bacterial collective and army is decimated, and your body is a wasteland of damaged tissues, mutated bacterial remnants, and altered biochemistry. Of course there will always be situations where chemical antibiotics must be used to save life and limb, however with a healthy body combined with a good beginning treatment strategy, no type of infection should reach the point where antibiotics are needed. 

Antibiotics in my mind should only be used as a last resort. Antibiotics have undoubtedly eased suffering and saved lives in the past, but the longterm downside of using these chemical nuclear bombs for the past hundred years is that most people are now born with only half of the types and numbers of friendly bacteria as they could and should have to help sustain a normal, healthy life and repel invading bacteria. 

Very few people have heard that the friendly bacteria in your body battle with the invading bacteria. If you read medical literature you will more often hear that you need to boost your immune system in order to defeat invading bacteria. This is not wrong, it is just not the complete answer, especially when considering the fact that some types of invading bacteria actually hitch a ride on, live inside, and essentially "farm" the immune system cells, called macrophages. These macrophages are immune cells that the body actually sent to kill them! Boosting the immune system in this case only helps increase the spread of the infection! When this happens you better have a strong friendly army of the right types of bacteria to help kill them. 

Battles are ongoing between your friendly bacterial army and the invading army. Each side produces antibiotic chemicals to use against each other. Each side suffers casualties with the survivors mutating in an effort to survive the other's chemical attacks and also to develop new types of antibiotic chemicals to use against the other side. 

As the battle continues for months and years, every trick and everything the bacteria have learned is passed on as genetic information to the next generation of bacteria, via packets of genetic information called plasmids or sometimes called replicons. It sounds like something out the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, "The Terminator." Each new generation of both the good and the bad bacteria are born carrying all the adaptations learned by its ancestors. Talk about super-soldiers!

Now consider the average probiotic supplement, of which there are many companies selling a range of friendly bacteria. These laboratory-grown bacteria grew up in complete isolation, with no challenges. They can be seen as green troops sent in to reinforce your battle savvy army. These probiotic bacteria don't know anything about your battlefield conditions (the tissue damage and altered pH and biochemistry of your body), they have not benefited from the lessons and tricks learned from years of battling it out with the invaders in your specific body, which is different than anyone else's body. Just like in real war, reinforcements are often needed, but to the seasoned soldiers, these new troops can't be expected to be that effective right off the bat. 

These new troops and even your seasoned troops can get help from a special type of virus in the body called bacteriophages, the bug-looking things in the picture on this article. There are so many bacteriophages on the earth that if they were the size of ladybugs, they would completely cover the planet and would be several miles deep! 

Bacteriophages can at times attach to the bad bacteria and infect them causing them to die or to jettison their plasmids (replicons), making the bacteria now much more vulnerable to the attack of your probiotic army. Unfortunately, little is known about how to get the bacteriophages to reliably help out in this way, although we suspect that as greater integrity and health is restored in the the tissues and systems of the body, bacteriophage activity increases. Since we cannot count on bacteriophages coming to the rescue, we need a better breed of enhanced probiotic soldiers. That is what the doctors at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health are working to develop.

While reinforcing with standard probiotics is better than not taking anything, I would want you to consider something. How long do you think you would need to take capsules of Salmonella, Staph, Borrelia, and so on, in an average American's already dysfunctional body? How long would it take before these bad bacteria would start taking over and overpopulating the body? Not long for certain! You would soon find yourself with an infectious disease as these bad guys overwhelm the few good guys. 

So why do we rarely see friendly bacteria taking over in people who have been consuming probiotic supplements and fermented foods for months and years? 

• They are either already dead in the bottle, which many authorities claim is the case in most of the probiotic products on the market.
• They are largely killed by the conditions of the battlefield. (the tissues and inhospitable environment in your body)
• They are quickly killed by the bad bacteria. 
• You are reinforcing your troops with the wrong types of friendly bacteria. You might be sending in "farmer" bacteria, instead of "predator/soldier" bacteria.
• The probiotic product may be ultra-pasteurized in the last production step, killing all of the probiotic bacteria, as in fermented foods, and almost all yogurt products that are for sale in stores.

This is why many people find that they must continually take probiotics for months and years with often minimal effect. 

As you can see by now, it takes much more than swallowing a broad-spectrum probiotic supplement in order to achieve the potential, near-miraculous benefits of targeted and enhanced probiotic therapy. There needs to be a very comprehensive and strategic battle plan, tailored to the unique global problems in your body. 

I will continue this series and provide you with more information of things you need to know and strategies you and your doctor can use to combat virtually any illness. Many of these upcoming strategies can be done at home. Stay tuned for my next article, "Preparing the Battlefield."

Limitations of Antibiotics in Chronic Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is like having termites in the wood of your house. You can kill them but simply killing them does not fix the damage they caused. Sweeping up the wood dust left behind, which is analogous to the toxins left behind by the dead bacteria, also is good, but that too does not fix the damage they caused. 

This is the frustration many people face. We are sold the idea, by mainstream medicine, that if we kill the bacteria, then the body and mind will just come back to health. In most garden variety infections this is largely true, however in LD with its coinfections, the body is often too damaged to repair itself without the help of a doctor with a lot of creativity and innovative ways of helping the body heal. 

So what have our doctors at the Hansa Center consistently found is damaged by people who suffered from longterm LD? 

Most often there are a dizzying array of damaged areas in the biochemical pathways of the body. Almost always our doctors find and correct breakdowns in the biochemical pathways responsible for producing energy, known as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. 

We often see changes in the expression of the SNPs that need to be shifted back to the functional side of the SNP. 

The blood brain barrier needs fatty acid and nutritional support to repair the holes caused by excessive ammonia from the Lyme bacteria, leading to a term I coined years ago, "Leaky-brain syndrome" that LD caused. 

The biochemical production lines that start with Succinyl-CoA, leading to ALA, and PBG, through the porphrinogens and on down the line to produce heme and ultimately produce Cytochrome P450 and Cytochrome A, and other important detoxification molecules is almost always damaged, and needs targeted corrections. 

Chronic LD often damages the production of the enzymes Alcohol Dehydrogenase and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase, that are necessary in order to correctly breakdown alcohol in the body. 

Inflammation is often running rampant due to the out of control histamine production, and out of control Interleukin-1beta, and poor fatty acid metabolism that controls the inflammatory responses.  

Neurotransmitters that often come from the action of friendly intestinal bacteria, are often out of balance, due to the unfortunate and oft misguided use of natural and pharmaceutical antibiotics. 

The production of hormones by all the glands, from the pituitary to the gonads, which are chemical messengers that tell the organs to increase or decrease their functions are always found to be dysregulated with too much of some hormones and too little of others, causing all of the rhythm of the organs to be thrown off. 

I think by now you get the point...almost everything that can be screwed up in your body's chemistry, is screwed up!

As a result of chronic LD there are also always structural damages to the body. The most apparent signs and symptoms our doctors see and address are changes in joint mobility, along with muscles that are tight, toxic, and inflamed. Ligaments are often chronically sprained and lax causing instability in the joints. 

Almost always our doctors also find structural problems in the cranial bones, which are jammed, and the TMJ is misaligned, causing uneven pressure on the brain, and the tongue to fall down the throat when a person sleeps, leading to excessive adrenaline being secreted to keep you breathing... 

The crania-sacral respiration of cerebrospinal fluid is often stagnant. The blood itself is often hyperviscous (thick), devitalized, and poorly oxygenated. The fibrous floor of the brain, and the wall separating the right and left brain, the Falx Cerberi and Falx Tentorium are most often misaligned causing a "short-circuiting" of the entire nervous system with each breath through the nose and/or mouth. 

The fascia membranes are restricted and holding the energetic memory of trauma, both physical and emotional, leading to the energy of your body to leak into the atmosphere around you, instead of being able to be used to heal. These leaks from the fascia need to be corrected. 

The lymph system is almost always congested leading to global toxicity and puffiness in areas of the body as it pools and become a gelatinous toxic goo. 

The temperature regulation of regions of the body, and at times, the entire body is messed up, leading to cold temperatures in some and excessively hot temps in other people. 

All of this mess opens the body to other opportunistic microbes, such as mold, parasites, candida, and viruses to jump in and cause a host of other problems. Environmental toxins that have been accumulating in the body since conception and the womb become more of an issue once the body is in this downward spiral.

Then we get to the brain of people with chronic LD. The brain waves have very predictable problem patterns of increased amplitude in the low frequencies of frontal lobes, frontal poles, and other lobes of the brain. The "software" of the brain, that actually runs the biochemistry, the immune system, the hormone producing glandular system, the muscles, and everything in the body is stuck in this dysfunctional pattern. Until the software glitches in the brain are addressed you might get temporary benefits from various nutritional or prescription treatments and therapies, but because the software is the deepest level of interference, one often sees treatments help for a while and then stop working. These altered brain wave patterns often lead to the oft seen, "Lyme rage" and cognitive problems, such as brain fog, memory loss, tongue tied, and brain fatigue. Again these things can be corrected, but...

Guess what? Antibiotics and detoxing, will not fix all of these things! They can only do what they do. Yet, all most doctors do is carpet bomb bacteria and try to balance the hormones and inflammation in a reactive model that cannot reach the deepest causes. 

I know, all of this sounds gloomy. My point is that after treating thousands of people with these problems for the last 20 years, our doctors find that people the world over are still coming to us often believing the myth that true health comes from killing all of the bacteria, and that the body will naturally just go back to normal after that is achieved. As you can see, there are many other reasons you are sick. 

Yes, enabling the body to bring down the population of bacteria and other microbes is important, and even helping it do that naturally can be beneficial, however can you see that if you are chronically ill, you need to find a doctor who can and will take to the time address everything, not just a handful of things? 

This is why we require a two or three week stay with us at the Hansa Center. It takes time, and skill to address everything that has gone wrong in a person's body. We see a person up to 4 hours a day, everyday. Anything that the body is struggling with from the treatments of the day before, are addressed right away the next day. Everyday the doctor is digging deeper to find and address everything that can be identified, in a strategically eloquent system of care that weaves dynamically through every system and every potential cause of interference in the body and mind.

If you cannot come to the Hansa Center, please find a doctor, or a team of doctors and other allied health professionals to address the totality of the problem. Don't fall for the myth of chasing the next best idea of antibiotics. Often, as in termite infestation of your home, the bacteria have been largely addressed, but the damage left behind is why you don't have the health that you desperately desire.

Is the optimized human body more powerful than antibiotics?

Is the optimized human body more powerful at keeping potentially disease causing bacteria under control than combinations of our best antibiotics? You might be convinced you know the answer. I will relieve your suspense. The body is the determining factor over getting a disease from bacteria, and the body is also ultimately better than antibiotics at keeping infectious bacteria from causing disease!

The National Institute of Health (NIH) is conducting research to map all of the various types of bacteria that live in healthy individuals. The research is called The Human Microbiome Project. The NIH researchers found, "that nearly everyone routinely carries pathogens, microorganisms known to cause illnesses. In healthy individuals, however, pathogens cause no disease; they simply coexist with their host and the rest of the human microbiome, the collection of all microorganisms living in the human body. Researchers must now figure out why some pathogens turn deadly and under what conditions, likely revising current concepts of how microorganisms cause disease." (emphasis added)

This might lead some people to point to the era before the invention of antibiotics and say that antibiotics definitely have saved lives, and that I am being irresponsible to suggest otherwise. So to be clear, I do believe there are times when antibiotics are necessary. The problem with antibiotics is they are becoming less and less effective, even on types of bacteria which used to be easily killed. 

We see this same phenomenon in agriculture. Farmers are resorting to using GMO seeds because the weeds in their fields are no longer being killed by the weed-killer chemicals. It is requiring more and more weed-killer to kill them. So the genetically modified (GMO) seeds grow into crops that can withstand the huge amounts of weed killer chemicals necessary to keep the weeds from growing.*

It would seem that nature is attempting to tell us something. I believe nature is telling us that you either live in harmony with all things or you will suffer the consequences of our warfare, whether we are killing bacteria in your body, or the weeds in the fields. Nature will adapt and win ultimately. 

That leaves us with the question, "What are we supposed to do if not antibiotics?" Bioinformatics and Bioenergetics is the next frontier. The following is just one example of why I am convinced that the human body truly is more powerful than antibiotics.

Otto Wolf, MD reports that the normal blood component, albumin, is six times stronger than penicillin at preventing the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria. Interestingly, albumen mysteriously loses this ability when the person succumbs to illness. Peer-reviewed medical research states that, "Albumin has well‐established and important functions in health. Its kinetic and dynamic properties are significantly altered in the critically ill." Not only that but low blood albumin is an independent predictor of whether you come down with any disease. 

Mainstream medicine tried to correct disease by giving patients albumin. It didn't work. Apparently the mechanistic view of the world doesn't work the same inside the human body. The power or "kinetic and dynamic properties" of albumen are not due to its molecular structure, but from the human "software" that is unique and dynamic, changeable, based on our overall health, or lack thereof in each person. 

You are more than pieces and parts of a chemical machine. Your biochemistry can be programmed to perform different tasks by your body's own bioenergetic, bioinformation, and biocommunication systems. that programs the albumen to either work or not work, based upon the energetic encoding of the molecules.  I am fascinated by the energetic nature of the human body, something largely ignored by mainstream medicine. The bioinformation system of the body and the biocommunication system  is the new frontier in healing technology, and what drives our success at the Hansa Center through powerful innovations, such as BioResonance Scanning (BRS), NeuroCardial Sychronization (NCS) technique, and NeuroPhotonic Therapy (NPT), all developed here.

We would all agree that if we had something that was six times more powerful than one of our most powerful class of antibiotics, the penicillins, and if your body could be taught to return to being that powerful, it would be pretty significant. The trick is working at the level of the body's energetic software to restore not just the albumen, but all of the integrity of the body at the same time.  

The mechanistic view of the human body is what got us through the dark ages to the present day. Now we are entering a new era in healing technology, one that works to restore the function and integrity of the entire human being, down to the glitches in its software.

Treat the bugs and stronger bugs will follow. Treat the human condition and stronger health will follow.

*To be clear, Non-GMO foods that are not certified organic are still full of pesticide, herbicide, and fungicides. The real-deal GMO foods are even worse not only for the mixing of the DNA of various species, something forbidden in the Holy Bible, but also because the foods contain even more of the pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, than the Non-GMO/Non-Organic foods.

Doing this when you eat dramatically increases your risk of infectious diseases.

One of your first lines of defense against infections is your stomach! 

Very often we dilute our stomach acid by drink copious amounts of liquids while we eat. This dilutes the stomach acid and aggravates our body's ability to digest the food and also the microbes that may be entering our body in those foods. 

One might read my Health tips and say all this about restoring the integrity and functioning of the body all is well and good if you don’t have a “truly dangerous” bacteria involved. Lets look at some compelling research to demonstrate the flaw in this mindset. 

Tests on volunteers revealed that when given Cholera bacteria to swallow it required extremely high concentrations at up to 100 billion cholera bacteria before any one of the volunteers became sick with the cholera disease. Interestingly the amount of cholera bacteria needed to cause disease dropped by half if they neutralized the volunteer’s stomach acid. (Hornick W, et al, Bulletin of the Academy of Medicine, 47 1971 p. 1181)

How do you neutralize stomach acid? By drinking water and other liquids...not to mention using antacids, such as TUMS, Rolaids, other acid blocker type medicines.

So we see here how abnormal changes in the body increase the chance of developing a disease even from a potentially very deadly microbe. Need more convincing? 

Other research has shown that only one out of 100 receptive polio-virus infected individuals will actually come down with polio, the disease! (Joppich G, Lehrbuch der kinderheilkunde, Stuttgart 1975) As you see, the microbe is almost the last determining factor in coming down with a disease. 

Yes, once you do come down with a microbial illness the microbial population does need to be brought down, however ultimately the body must be brought back to optimum integrity usually before anything but remission can be achieved. 

So to summarize, just eating potentially deadly bacteria and viruses and getting them in your body does not mean you will ever come down with a disease from those bacteria, if your body is healthy and maintained well. If you realized just how many different bacteria and viruses you come into contact with throughout the day, without getting sick, you would be amazed how well your body handles most things when it is functioning correctly. 

Maintain your body. Don't just assume that you are healthy just because you don't have symptoms. In the same way that we don't assume we are physically fit just because we can function fairly well in our daily life. We must exercise to keep our body fit. Do the same with your health. Take action to insure every system in your body is tuned to its most optimum levels. By doing this you don't need to worry about infections and disease nearly as much.

By the way, there is an internet craze that suggests that drinking water before a big meal will help you lose weight by filling the stomach with water so when you eat you will get full faster. Read my previous post to see why this is a very bad idea: http://tinyurl.com/pyfh7px
