Neurological Lyme Disease and Its Correction

Lyme rage, irritability, personality changes, emotional instability, seizures, tremors, hypothermia, migraines, headaches, not to mention cognitive dysfunction in the form of brain fog, brain fatigue, memory loss, dyslexia, systemic dystonia,  and attention deficit, and many more symptoms are maladies often experienced by people with neurological Lyme disease.

There are definite, and scientifically recognized causes of these problems. This article will discuss the pathophysiology of Borrelia-induced encephalopathy. The multiple strains of Borrelia spirochetes (spiral-shaped bacteria), most associated with Lyme disease, are closely related to the spirochete of Syphilis, another malady that was known in the medical community to cause predictable neurological problems.

One might say that Lyme spirochetes are the genetically-enhanced cousin of syphilis. Both are able to shape-shift in order to escape antibiotic treatment efforts. They are called pleomorphic bacteria (Lida Mattman, PhD).

Research has been reported that within 20 minutes of infection from the bite of an infected insect the Lyme spirochetes can reach the brain. When this happens, very predictable problems begin to occur.

The spirochetes of Syphilis and LD are known produce urease enzymes which cause localized ammonia to accumulate (hyperammonemia) in the brain. The Lyme-induced ammonia causes inflammation and swelling of the astrocytes (brain cells) leading to numerous subsequent neurological symptoms.

The presence of the spirochetes and ammonia in the brain also cause the blood-brain-barrier to leak, allowing larger molecules to enter the protected inner sanctum of the brain. The brain essentially registers these substances, the increased swelling of the brain cells, and the excessive alkalinity of the ammonia, as a brain trauma. On MRI of the brain, longstanding Lyme encephalopathy can present like a classic traumatic brain injury, from a car accident or other physical injury to the brain.

The prefrontal cortex, frontal, and temporal lobes, which are largely responsible for working memory and executive functions are most susceptible to alterations in brain wave patterns caused by these bacteria-induced insults. Random, often unexplainable neurological symptoms often are the result of these irritants.

All of life’s challenges can combine in “perfect storms” of issues, which can create spontaneous, idiopathic worsening of neurological symptoms. Challenges such as how much protein a person has eaten that day, a shift in the barometric pressure as weather fronts change, excessive salt intake causing increase fluid retention leading to increased brain edema in localized areas of the brain, poor dietary choices, hormonal shifts, emotional upsets, mental strain, physical strain, not to mention the harmful effects of medical or natural treatments that are not working in synergy with the body. The list is endless of possible life challenges that can aggravate the already hypersensitive and irritated brain tissues.

When it comes to treatment, the challenges are just as diverse. For the lucky few who have enough inherent integrity in their body the lowering of bacterial population might be enough to allow complete and lasting health, in spite of the fact that they will always have the bacteria as part of the background microbial population.

For the chronically ill person who is suffering horrible neurological symptoms in spite of every treatment and everything they try, it is sad but true that simply killing bacteria will not result in restoring the quality of life you seek. 

Yes the bacterial population needs to be addressed…from a overall body integrity perspective. However, more fundamental to this is the need to shift what has happened to the brain waves that regulate every single system and cell in your body. The brain waves control and regulate every chemical and cellular interaction in the body. Getting the brain waves optimized, available at the Hansa Center, and soon at the Limitless Brain Center, in Wichita, KS, in combination with strategic elimination and correction of the causes of Lyme-induced trauma frequencies, is the only way to dramatically restore the body's ability to regulate itself correctly.

The ultimate treatment goal must be to restore optimum structural integrity and function to the brain. All of the bottom-line causes of neurological issues need to be addressed sequentially.

· The source of the ammonia, the bacteria need to be brought under the control of the body.

· The urease enzymes that are causing excessive ammonia to be produced need to be blocked.

· The ammonia itself needs to be neutralized, so that it cannot continue to irritate the brain and cause swelling, and draining the brain’s energy production.

· The blood-brain-barrier must be repaired so that it no longer allows particles to reach the brain that were never supposed to do so.

· The harmful toxins from the environment and from various causes must be detoxified and source-eliminated to remove accessory irritants.

· The brain tissues must be nutritionally supported and mitochondrial energy production restored.

· The structural issues that are now there from illness must be addressed.

· Address all of the Lyme-induced epigenetic miasms and the Lyme-activated SNP mutation issues.

· Finally, the brain waves themselves which have been stuck in various ways need to be assessed and relaxed, so that normal regulation of the mind and body can be restored.

The old adage, “A chain is only as good as it’s weakest link,” is the perfect analogy to healing the body from the ravages of Lyme disease.

The bullet point list above is just the most basic issues that a doctor needs to address in a person with chronic Lyme disease. This cannot be taught in blog posts. When every conceivable system of the body has been corrupted by this dastardly illness, its ultimate healing cannot be placed in the hands of the one suffering. Thinking every potential problem can be detailed into a blog that says, "Take these supplements and you will be well," is like buying a book called "Brain Surgery for Dummies!"

It would be similar to calling the Mayo Clinic and asking their doctors to just figure out what is uniquely wrong in this multi-system illness and have the doctor tell them what to do over the phone or in an email.  I would estimate that nearly 100% of our patients spent many years and many thousands of dollars on medications and natural remedies in their attempt to get well.   Lyme disease has been in pandemic proportions for years now, and everyone has a “online cure” or “the online protocol to end all protocols.” There are the lucky ones who follow this or that online, "DoctorGoogle" advise and get well. There are many more people who have seen 30-100+ doctors and healers of all types, chased every home remedy, bought various machines, and still suffer day in and day out. In my opinion, people (and doctors) often compound their problems by taking essentially random supplements and medicines with no concept of their global effect on the biochemistry of their body.

Your ability to return to health often requires a doctor to be the  detectives that we were trained to be, although the vast majority of doctors are more like cooks and chefs, just following a cookbook recipe that they use with minor variations for everyone with the label, "Lyme disease."

This is why I consider the doctors of the Hansa Center for Optimum Health, the Wellness Physicians of the 21st Century! Our doctors are trained to dig deep, investigate, innovate, and use the maximum applied effort and technology to seek out and help the body restore it’s perfect condition once more. 

I recognize that this is self-promotion, however when you have something unique, especially when compared to the standard healthcare delivery in this country, it must be contrasted. The standard medical care to to place all your hopes and dreams of health on a collection of drugs. The doctor essentially says, "Here, take this and come back in three months. You then wait month after month, wondering why you feel so horrible, wondering if it is the right thing to keep doing, wondering if it is working and that is why you feel so badly, or if you are reacting to the drugs and that is why you feel so bad, waiting to see if your lab test results are better, which even if they are better then why don't you feel better? Contrast this to our doctors, who work on your body at least an hour every day of the week (M-F), dynamically seeking out and problem solving every issue that can be found. Healing crisis and progressive worsening is minimized by constantly adapting what they are doing each day to how the body is shifting in response to all of the treatments and therapies.

Health is not the absence of bacteria. Health is the condition where the body’s systems can oversee and control every type of microbe that enters the body, preventing it from causing disease. True health care seeks to restore this control to the body, instead of depending on the sledgehammer effects of antibiotics, drugs, and I.V. drips. The point is not to get to the point where high-powered drugs are necessary, just to barely manage the symptoms. The point is to enable the body to heal quickly on its own, whereby lasting health prevails.

Treat the bugs and more and stronger bugs will follow. Treat to restore the optimum human condition and health will follow.

For over 20 years the Hansa Center for Optimum Health, in Wichita, Kansas has specialized in the restoration of health for people with previously unresponsive and chronic illnesses of virtually all types. Over 85% of people come from other states and countries.

Rethinking Our Immune System

Science has revealed that there are over 1.5 quadrillion bacteria living harmoniously in the healthy human body. ScienceDaily (June 5, 2008) Due to this new discovery, it has become apparent to scientists that the immune system is not the primary way in which the healthy body keeps the thousand-plus different types of bacteria in your body from causing disease.

Martin Blaser of New York University has been studying the number of types of bacteria in skin. Blaser estimates that there are over 500 different types of living in healthy human skin.

Researchers reporting on the human microbiome (a fancy term for the bacteria and microbes that virtually are the human body) estimate that healthy people who have generationally never received antibiotics may have over 1000 different types of bacteria in their intestines. Preliminary research has resulted in staggering cures of degenerative illnesses when these thousand strains were introduced into sick individuals.

With only an estimated 150 trillion cells in the human body, bacteria outnumber cells over 10 to 1.

So does your immune system really work like the simplistic Pac-man game, with your macrophages and phagocytes (Specialized White Blood Cells) going around gobbling up all the “bad bacteria”?

When we take “immune system boosters” what are we really boosting?

How can many people be highly positive for infectious bacteria, like Borrelia burgdorferi, the primary bacteria thought to cause Lyme disease, and also test very highly positive for the presence of several of the coinfections often seen in this same illness, yet never have any symptoms, year after year?

In order to answer these questions we must first answer what exactly regulates and controls what we call optimum health.

Many people think that if they are symptom-free most of their life, that they are healthy. This thought process is obviously erroneous, because of the pandemic of cancer arising in the world population, often in people who report virtually never having symptoms of any kind, never having abnormal blood tests on physical exams, and rarely missing a day of work.

Being symptom-free is not the same as having optimum health.

It must be understood that optimum health is a very rare condition in the world population. Optimum health is that point where the body, mind, and spirit can adapt instantly and correctly at all times to any change in the organism’s internal and external environment.

Optimum health by this definition describes the ideal condition of what is called bio-coherence.

It is the unifying force of coherence, within the incredible complexity of bio-communication and bio-regulation, which enables the body to adapt to every challenge to optimum health.

The immune system plays a small role, comparatively speaking, to the forces of bio-coherence regulating the vast populations of microbes.

One might say, “But the bacteria responsible for serious illnesses such as Lyme disease, Diptheria, and Strep, just to name a few, are not part of the healthy human microbiome.” While this statement is true the reality is that even these “infections” seem to merge into the total microbiome of the healthy body, once bio-coherence is re-established.

It could be accurately stated that every illness is the result of the breakdown of bio-coherence.

The restoration of optimum health is not the result of killing all the “bad” bacteria and microbes, but is at best in the conventional medical model of antibiotics, the result of the suppression of bacterial populations and the resultant polymorphism of the bacteria to less pathological microbial shapes as the bacteria morph to escape the treatments.

As the bacteria shape-shift to less virulent forms under the pressure of antibiotics, bio-coherence can often keep them from re-emerging in their more virulent form.

It is this author’s opinion, that the use of antibiotics does more harm than good in the short run and in the long run. Anti=against, biotic=life is pretty clearly stating antibiotics effects on the 1.5 quadrillion bacteria that make up the healthy human body.

With antibiotics one may win the battle, but lose the war, as the bacterial infection is defeated, yet at the cost of over 400 different strains of friendly bacteria being also destroyed, leading to profound disturbances of the microbiome and ultimately leading to the loss of bio-coherence resulting in degenerative diseases, and premature death.

Armed with the knowledge of the microbiome it is now thought that the ultimate and far superior aspect of immune regulation is the microbe regulating aspects of the bio-coherent energetic fields that naturally regulate all microbes and all the systems of the body.

In an essentially whole person, who has not been damaged beyond repair through medical interventions and injury, modalities that strive to restore bio-coherence on all levels of the body, mind, and spirit is the medicine of the future.

It is suggested that bio-coherence even plays a large role in epigenetics, the expression of our genetic blueprint.

Clinical studies reveal promising results using BioCoherence Therapy (BCT) a newly discovered health care technology developed by the author and Dr. David J. Jowdy at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health in Wichita, Kansas.

It appears through the use of BCT techniques that true bio-coherence can be largely achieved resulting in often-dramatic improvements in conditions affecting every system of the body.

After BCT treatments many patients report almost instantaneous improvements in pain, cognition, flexibility, strength, tremors, musculoskeletal alignment, emotional stability, and environmental sensitivities have often been observed. Patients often report sensations of increased sense of wellbeing.

The author theorizes that these improvements are the result of the gradual and possibly rapid restoration of optimum function and integrity of every regulatory system.

BCT seems to provide for the sick individual; the stimulus for the optimum bio-coherence that is found in the healthy individual who tests positive for potentially harmful microbial infectious disease. Share

Treating Post-Lyme Syndrome

Post-Lyme Syndrome is a clinical condition where symptoms remain beyond the point where the bacteria can be detected. The damage to the body that was caused by the infections persists even though your doctor feels the medicines have killed all the bacteria.

Post-Lyme Syndrome is the most obvious problem with the idea that antibiotics are the answer to Lyme disease. It is also the problem with taking natural supplements that are touted to kill the bacteria. Killing the bacteria and even doing extensive detoxification treatments does nothing to actually repair the damaged tissues that are the source of your symptoms.

Flying with Eagles

By Dr. David Jernigan

Have you ever been to an invigorating movie that left you feeling like you could conquer the world? You know, it is that feeling you get when you hear the Rocky movie theme song. Whatever the movie you walked away from feeling invincible and feeling like you can rise above your daily grind to be more than you have been, you know the feeling I am talking about.

The feelings are similar to having spent time with individuals, possibly at a business conference, religious event, or networking event, who we look up to as “Eagles.”

Eagles inspire us to reach for more in our lives. Motivational speakers often teach that you should find an Eagle and emulate their successful actions.

All of this is true to a point. The point I am making is that in order to truly reap the benefit of “flying with Eagles” you must do the work necessary before, during, and after meeting them.

The warm fuzzies you get from being around Eagles don’t help you to get anywhere without you putting in the work in the form of sustained action.

Knowledge taught by Eagles has been transformed as the Eagles digested the knowledge and applied it in their own life and turned the knowledge into wisdom. You can gain much of their knowledge and the Eagle is very wise, however they cannot give you wisdom. They can only give you knowledge, which you must digest through taking definite actions on a moment-by-moment basis until you transform it into your own wisdom.

Most Eagles I know have told me that people think they are an “Overnight success.” These Eagles laughingly say, “Yeah, an overnight success after ten years!”

Knowledge without action is dead. Faith without love is dead.

The root origin of the word “Inspiration” is to be “In Spirit.” To be “Motivated” is originally meaning to be stirred to action! So while you are feeling the spirit of an Eagle’s vibration, knowledge, and motivation… make the decision to break free from being an “Eagle-junkie,” feeding off of their energy, only to fade back to your status quo!

Fly… be free! Spread your wings. Watch, and learn, and feel the inspiration and motivation that Eagles provide, and put actions into every moment of every day, whether it is applied to business, health, relationships, or spirituality.

In time you will find that you are not just admiring Eagles, you have become one! Share

The Miraculous Diagnostic Machine Part 3 - Final

By Dr Jernigan

(Read parts 1 and 2 below first)

How do I know healing doesn’t require the Miraculous Medical Diagnostic Machine?

Because of all the successes we get to see that ultimately have little to do with the label or name we call an illness.

American Biological Medicine, like we teach and practice at the Hansa Center, is the most scientific and comprehensive philosophy of healing.

Health from a bottle is a myth!

The world’s most astute and celebrated physicians cannot heal even the most simple paper cut, much less serious illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and depression.

Neither can I or anyone else at the Hansa Center.

So if we truly cannot heal anyone then our job and specialty must be to identify anything interfering with the body’s own ability to heal, facilitate the restoration of the functional integrity within the body, mind, and spirit, and provide the building blocks and bio-information the body needs so all the things that the Miraculous Medical Diagnostic Machine found will naturally be corrected.

If one continues to do the same things, one will continue to get the same results!

If everything you have done up to this point has created your present reality, then if you want a new reality, one with optimum health, then you must change everything you are doing.

Optimum Health is the product of living with the highest degree of functional integrity within the body, mind, and spirit. Optimum health is also the ability of the body, mind, and spirit to adapt instantly and correctly to any changes in its internal and external environment.

Healing is the product of guiding and facilitating the restoration of integrity of the body, mind, and spirit through thoughtfully applied physical treatments, natural medicines, therapies, and through teaching and coaching one back to optimum health.

We encourage you to tell everyone you know that is healthy and wants to stay healthy, and those who are sick to come experience American Biological Medicine at the Hansa Center for Optimum Health.

While we cannot guarantee results, the pure philosophy of healing and broad range of natural science and healing techniques that we can bring to bear on a case insure that there is no type of illness and no one who will not benefit from American Biological Medicine. Share

The Miraculous Diagnostic Machine Part 2

By Dr. David Jernigan

 

(If you haven't read the first post, scroll below and do so before continuing.)

As I left off last time:
I can’t tell you how many people have come for treatment that ultimately came in saying ........
“Well doctor, I poured the pills down the toilet today!” “What pills?” I ask. “Oh, I wasn’t going to continue living if you couldn’t fix me, so thank you for helping me!”

While knowing what going wrong in a person’s body is useful, it is my experience that rarely can a person’s illness be boiled down to one cause and rarer still boiled down to one magic prescription.

The “Miraculous Medical Diagnostic Machine” doesn’t really exist, although the myriad of blood tests and MRI’s and fancy diagnostics obviously do exist. These tests and the volumes of medical research describing what goes wrong during every illness lead one to feel quite convinced that mainstream conventional pharmaceuticals, surgery, and radiation treatments are the logical way to get the quality of life back that we seek.

Miraculous Diagnostic Machine

By Dr. Jernigan

What if a medical diagnostic machine was created that would replace every single lab test and every type of other diagnostic device? What if it could generate reports that could tell you with incredible accuracy every biochemical malfunction? Every microbe would be identified and every toxin revealed using this new machine.


The diagnostic machine would then print out reams of data revealing the minutia of imbalances and items which are outside the statistical norm of the average American. With this machine we could finally see all the hundreds of thousands of problems that need fixing in a person who is sick.

How to Beat Any Bacterial Infection: The Human Rife Machine

By Dr. David Jernigan

Any doctor who does any type of sensitive testing, such as Direct Resonance-type muscle testing or Electro-Dermal testing, knows that only the most active/problematic bacteria and body issues will be detectable on these tests.

As a matter of fact, even in conventional lab testing we can only test for 0.4% of the known bacteria in the human body. Which means we don’t have a blood test for 99.6% of the various types of bacteria in the healthy human body.

It is interesting that according to research the healthy human body has between 1.5-2 QUADRILLION bacteria and approximately 1000 different types of bacteria at all times! Let’s put that into perspective. There are only 100 trillion cells in the human body. There are 1500 trillions in 1.5 quadrillion. That is a lot of bacteria!

Season "For Giving" or Season of "Forgiving"???

By: Dr. David Jernigan

The night is excessively cold. A blistering wind is whipping around my house, seeking cracks through which to create a draft in my house. It’s a great night for some of my Detox Tea as I finish my work day by answering my emails.

I have the television on in order for my brain to gradually step its way down from its busy pace of the day to the much slower pace of the silent emails. I am watching one of my favorite Food Channel programs, “Beat Bobby Flay” and suffering through the myriad of commercials.

While waiting for the commercials to end and checking my emails, the onslaught of Christmas-related advertisements drone on and on, until a phrase catches my ear, “It’s the season for giving…”

Something about the way it was phrased made me think they said, “It’s the season for forgiving…”

I glanced up over the top of my laptop at the TV and realized my mistake – just another ad designed to sell you something that would likely be broken by next Christmas.

I sat in deep thought about the idea of a Season of Forgiving and wondered how many people thought, as I did for most of my life, that forgiving was that thing your mother always had you do when you did something to one of your siblings, and always was marked by “Say it like you mean it!”

Saying we are sorry is fine, as is saying it like we mean it, however, I have found that it is just the thinnest crust of what forgiveness really entails.

One of our highest human achievements in life should be demonstrating what is known as “perfect love.”

In my book, "Everyday Miracles by God’s Design", I discuss in great detail how science has discovered that we are indeed beings of light and how important the heart is in creating health and realizing an abundant and happy life.

The heart is now known, with each beat, to imprint the command information to the trillions of DNA in your body through “laser-like emissions of light!” What we think of as matter, such as tissue, bone, organs, glands are really just a condensation of light energy. We are more fiber-optic than we are electrical and chemical!

Have you ever experienced a situation where you were in such a good mood that nothing anybody said could upset you?

This is what we should feel like all the time.

In our highest spiritual maturity, we should be the embodiment and personification of God's Love! In this existence, we love without respect to whether or not anyone deserves our love.

Our own negative emotions emit light frequencies that can aggravate the body of another person. “The body is wonderfully and mysteriously made.”

The U.S. Army even did a study where they can take a sample of live DNA and watch it under electron microscope in another room.

For research purposes they will call into the room and tell the participant to think of something bad, negative, or get angry. Instantly, as they watch, the double helix of the DNA, like a ladder that has been twisted, will twist even tighter, getting shorter, and various codons will start turning off, unique to the type of negative emotion they are feeling!

The researchers will then have the participant think of being joyful, thankful, and loving. Instantly the DNA strand unwinds to its optimum twist and all of the codons turn on perfectly!

By the way, the room in which they observed the strands of DNA in this study was 200 miles away from the participants' bodies! For more interesting studies click here.

Your genetic blueprint, the illnesses you are experiencing, the messed up hormones and neurotransmitters, are all following the instructions of your thoughts and emotions as laser-like light beams of commands are sent to the DNA.

What does all this have to do with forgiveness, you might ask?

When we have unforgiveness (resentment, irritability or by whatever other name) it demonstrates that we are withholding love. This is like taking poison, hoping someone else will suffer! Your DNA is creating the most optimum YOU (and the most healing biochemicals are being produced by your body...) only when you are operating from perfect love.

One of the greatest lessons I have learned in my life is that no one can make me anything!

No one can make me mad.

No one can make me have self-esteem.

No one can bum me out.

I am responsible for my own reactions, and I choose to stay in a position of complete peace and love, and complete and utter trust in God's plan, in spite of any life circumstance!

“To err is human, to forgive Divine,” the saying goes. It is always the Season of Forgiving.

When we forgive, it means we no longer hold back our love, but we release the person/s from any debt.

This Christmas, do yourself a huge favor, save yourself from certain poisoning, and forgive all who have hurt you or let you down. In all your forgiving, be certain to forgive yourself in the same way!
 
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Functionally Dysfunctional Boxes

By: Dr. David Jernigan
(re-published from earlier posts, back by popular demand)

In my last blog post called "The Aquarium Shark" I spoke of how our comfort zone is our box within which we view the world and live. I want to expand upon this theme.

I have heard many people tell me that if the life they are living is supposed to be their “Comfort Zone” there is nothing comfortable about it.

Life can be quite uncomfortable and miserable within our boxes. As uncomfortable as life may be, it must be understood that we are playing the game of life following the rules we agreed to use. Rules to the game of life seem to line the inside boundaries of each of our boxes.

Early Deaths at an All-Time High: The Thinning of the Human Herd?

By Dr. David Jernigan

Every year approximately 1.5 million people are dying prematurely due to illness-related deaths. That adds up to 15 million men, women, and children every ten years. Imagine driving through New Mexico, West Virginia, Nebraska, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming and seeing no living human!


There is a Chinese saying that speaks of the balance of all things. When there are many grasshoppers there will be many frogs to eat them. With many frogs there will come many herons to eat them. To everything there is a season. In the wilds of Alaska the wolves are apex predators and help to keep the deer populations in healthy numbers, thinning the herd.

The Alkaline Brain: Dietary Concerns in Lyme-Borreliosis

By Dr. David Jernigan


Due to the recent discovery that people with Lyme disease universally suffer from hyperammonemia, the excessive accumulation of ammonia in the liver, jaws, heart, and brain, and in rare cases the entire body, certain dietary changes can help reduce the severity of the symptoms of Lyme disease.

Ammonia is very alkaline with a pH of 11.6. Many doctors have been taught that most sick people have acidic bodies (< 7.0 pH). The reality is not that simple. People may be predominantly acidic but may also be extremely alkaline in the areas of ammonia accumulation. This is why many people worsen when they are given dietary recommendations such as eating fresh fruits and vegetables, which work to alkalinize the body. Drinking alkalinized water would also tend to aggravate symptoms related to hyperammonemia.

While there are many people who have been helped by these alkaline diets and alkalinized water, it is likely that they did not have a significant accumulation of ammonia and therefore did not experience a worsening of their symptoms.

It appears that alkaline diets can aggravate the already over-alkaline, ammonia regions of their body: the brain, jaws, heart, and liver. The ammonia conditions must be cleared before addressing the more acidic regions of the body.

Understanding Fevers

The human race, when viewed over the last few hundred years, is moving away from the inflammatory diseases associated with high fevers toward the more cold illnesses, such as diabetes, cancer, and fibromyalgia. Today the average person will commonly run a “normal” body temperature between 95-97° F. Ideally children and adults should maintain a core temperature of 98.6° F or slightly higher. Incao, P. Lilipoh, Issue 24, 2001 It is interesting to see how what experts consider to be “normal” is changing every year as our population becomes sicker and sicker. I purchased a thermometer recently that listed the normal temperature range as 95.9 to 99.5° F. This company considers a temperature that is almost 3 degrees colder than the optimum 98.5 to be normal, when as will be discussed later a temperature this low should not be considered normal and is actually detrimental.

Fevers on the other hand are a very important mechanism in the developmental processes of growing children. Not only does the fever help destroy the microbes, but it trains the body to regulate the warmth organization of the body in adult life. Fevers in childhood also help to establish a stronger constitution.

Childhood Illness: Training for the Future

By Dr. David Jernigan
Children are to a degree necessarily imbalanced. They are in a constant state of change. Children seek to discover the limits of their control over their environment. What has become known as childhood infectious illnesses are the training ground of achieving and maintaining balance in their life as an adult. The ability to react appropriately to stimuli is a learning process.

If a child is challenged by microbes their body should react appropriately by producing a fever and the lymph nodes should be activated. When a fever occurs it must be understood that the child is already in the healing phase, not the illness phase!

Physicians are seeing more and more children whose body will not generate a fever. In fact now more than ever children are manifesting diseases that were previously considered to be geriatric illnesses, in part due to the generations of drug-interventions from birth to old age.

Obstetric interventions at birth, none or short-term breastfeeding, vaccinations, indiscriminate antibiotic use, suppressive therapies such as fever-reducing, Tylenol-type medicines, poor lifestyle and dietary choices allow our children to bypass these childhood illnesses taking the fast-track towards adult illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.

Heavy Metal Toxicity and Low Body Temperature

By: Dr. David Jernigan

Heavy metals are one of the primary causes of low body temperature and immune system depression. Many microbes cannot be brought back under control until the heavy metals have been removed from the body. High and low-level infections can be ongoing for decades in spite of high dose antibiotics and intravenous antimicrobials when heavy metals are present. Heavy metals promote the over-acidic, low oxygen, low temperature environment which microbes thrive in.


The term heavy metals refers to the over-accumulation of many different types of metals in the fat cells, central nervous system (brain, brainstem, spinal cord), bones, glands, or hair. Heavy metals may include mercury, lead, cadmium, palladium, platinum, arsenic, and nickel, just to name a few.

Are you Harboring Bacteria in your Teeth?

Are you Harboring Bacteria

in your Teeth?

By: Dr David Jernigan of Hansa Center for Optimum Health

If we see teeth for what they truly are they are one of the most crystalline entry points into the organ circuits of the body. In many people with chronic illness, after years of antibiotics and natural anti-bacterial remedies, bacteria have been found living in the gingival tissues around the teeth.


Bacteria and their toxins can enter every organ and tissue from this hiding place where antibiotics cannot effectively reach since it is not directly in the tissues of the body.

Gross, I know!

Do you have food allergies?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions it is likely you need to retrain yourself in how to eat on purpose.

Flu Season is coming...NOT!

Flu Season is coming.....NOT! 

By: Dr. David Jernigan

Do we really believe Flu-viruses and Bacteria are stronger in the Winter time?



Every year the pharmaceutical/medical mass media marketing begins in the Fall-season and proceeds through late Spring in fear-mongering everyone into believing they must get flu shots.


When considering the fact that historically influenza viruses have killed many people throughout the last hundred years it would seem justified to think we should be thankful for vaccines.


The truth is that no virus or bacteria can replicate out of control and cause disease in an optimally healthy person of any age!

Eating Isnt Rocket Science!

Eating Isn’t Rocket Science!

To listen to the giants in the dietary industry eating has become a very scientific endeavor. “Do eat this…Don’t eat that” has made many people numb to the whole eating-healthy craze.


While scientific research has helped us better understand what foods promote optimum health, the list of foods that should dominate your plate is much easier to remember than you might think.
