Addressing Ammonia Toxicity From Lyme Disease, MS, ALS, Autism, and Parkinsons

If you have Lyme disease, MS, ALS, Parkinson's, Autism, and many other chronic illnesses...you have ammonia accumulating in your brain and tissues. It is imperative to the healing process that you and your doctor address the ammonia at the same time as you are addressing the cause of the ammonia...the Lyme bacteria, through the Borrelia burgdorferi production of urease enzyme!

Hyperammonemia (Excess accumulation of ammonia in the brain and tissues of the body) in combination with cerebral venous circulation disturbances, microbial issues and metabolic pathway dysfunction are largely unaddressed components that cause muscle weakness, muscle wasting, profound fatigue, mitochondria damage, tremors, brain dysfunction, depersonalization, depression, neuropathy, and muscle fasciculations (involuntary movements of muscles) seen in MS, ALS, and Parkinson's disease. Of course, poor oral bite/TMJ dynamics, environmental electro-polution,  dental mercury and environmental heavy metals, dietary and environmental toxins, also play an important role in the development of these illnesses, however this article focuses on the huge problem of excess ammonia. Stopping the accumulation of ammonia often stops the progression of these illnesses.

Beyond hidden bacterial infections, there are other secondary sources that can add to the load of ammonia, such as Candida-type yeast which metabolize gluten from dietary wheat, rye, barley, and oats into ammonia in the gut. Another cause of excessive ammonia is chronic liver dysfunction, as well as chronic kidney dysfunction.

Ammonia is very alkaline at an 11.6 pH. Many doctors have been taught that most sick people have acidic bodies. The reality is not that simple. People may be predominantly acidic, their urine and saliva may be acidic, but they are also extremely alkaline in the areas of ammonia accumulation. Lyme disease is a game changer when it comes to the acid/alkalinity of the body. 

This is why many people worsen when they drink alkalinized water, or are given dietary recommendations such as fresh fruits and vegetables which most often work to alkalinize the body. (No, this is not permission to go back to junk food or processed foods that are acid-promoting!) It appears that alkalinizing these people is only aggravating the already over-alkaline ammonia regions of their body, the brain, heart and liver. The ammonia conditions must be cleared before addressing the more acidic regions of their body! Click on this hyperlink to read more on ways to change your diet to help minimize the symptoms of ammonia.

We can extrapolate from the fact that Lyme bacteria seem to thrive in the highly alkaline environment created by ammonia (11.6 pH), that it is not going to work to attempt to kill the bacteria through drinking highly alkaline water, or eating alkaline-promoting diets. Once the Lyme bacteria and ammonia issues are addressed adequately then yes, an alkaline promoting diet is best.

"Souring the Milk!" Making the Body an Inhospitable Home for Bacteria to Overgrow!

It is almost impossible to culture Lyme bacteria in a lab setting if the growth medium in the petri dish is not just right, or if the temperature or pH is not just right. So from this we can see that Borrelia burgdorferi are not invincible monsters that absolutely cannot be beaten. 

The challenge then is to "sour the milk" or shift your body's internal environment to one that makes survival very difficult for the bacteria. Correcting the hyperammonemia (high ammonia) issue can help achieve a less hospitable environment for the bacteria, making your other antibacterial efforts possibly more effective.

Not everything can be done with remedies, especially the longer you have been sick. The longer one has been sick the more skill that will be required to successfully facilitate the body's ability to completely heal. It has been my experience that the sicker you are, the longer you have been sick, the more organs and systems of your body that have been damaged, the less likely you can successfully navigate through all the possible treatment options by yourself at home. The remedies I list below can definitely help you, however it may be wise to seek professional help with all the issues going on beyond just eliminating bacteria and ammonia.

A Screwdriver Cannot Cut Wood. Antibiotics Cannot Correct Tissue Damage! Using the Correct Tools for the Job!

You must use the correct tool for the job. Diet, combined with full-spectrum infrared sauna therapy, remedies, nutrition, hands on treatments, and so much more are needed to optimize the body's ability to bring down the population of bacteria, and eliminate the ammonia. 

Most people just want to take some remedies at home and feel better. I understand that, however if you don't feel better it does not mean the remedies are not working, it means there is too much else going on, (such as damaged, inflamed, and irritated tissues) for simply removing the ammonia to correct. 

Remember, ammonia is a toxin. We call things toxins because they damage tissues. It is like burning your finger on the stove. You immediately jerk your hand off the flame, but the burn and pain remains. So simply eliminating the ammonia will not always instantly get rid of the damage to the tissues or the symptoms. This is why the doctors at the Hansa Center have developed dozens of new ways to facilitate the body's ability to restore the correct (optimum) functioning of these damaged tissues, right down to the areas of broken biochemistry.

Also, until the bacteria are brought under control, they continue to produce more ammonia, so getting rid of the ammonia will be an ongoing process until your body can successfully beat down the Lyme bacteria. To help the body eliminate the cause of the ammonia, the bacteria, I developed three different formulas, the first of which I presented compelling research for at the International Tick-Borne Diseases Conference in New York City. 

Although no natural formula is cleared by the FDA to treat or cure any named illness, we can make "structure and function" claims for natural formulations. These formulas are not natural antibiotics. They work to enable the body's own defenses to kill the bacteria...in huge numbers if you read the research. 

1. Eliminate the source of ammonia, the bacteria
2. Eliminate the ammonia, through ammonia-specific supplements
3. Support the organs of elimination

Eliminating the Source of ammonia, the bacteria:

I would recommend discussing with your healthcare professional, starting with Borrelogen™ at 1 dropper 2-3 times a day for one bottle, or as they recommend. Depending upon your response you can the ask your healthcare professional about switching over to Lymogen™ if you need a change, at the same dosage or as they recommend. The successes our doctors have enjoyed at the Hansa Center for 20 years are largely around these remedies, although when you come you might not be tested as needing any of these formulas that I developed. Our testing helps us identify specifically what your unique body needs, which is why we carry over 3000 natural remedies from all the best companies to test you with in each treatment room.

No matter what way you choose to enable the killing of the Lyme bacteria, conventional antibiotics, or natural remedies, you definitely need to deal with the toxic ammonia. As I have discussed, most medicines and remedies will not cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB). 

Eliminating the Ammonia:

I have traveled to Brazil to search for botanicals from the Amazon that might effectively clear ammonia from the body. I have tested alongside medicine-men in Africa. I have been to huge plant specimen repositories, and tested large collections of medicinal substances from the world of Chinese medicine, not to mention testing everything I can get my hands on from standard botanical and homeopathic arsenals. There are only two botanicals out of everything I have tested that consistently work and have been verified either by laboratory experiments or by Functional Acuity Contrast Testing (FACT) of the toxins interference in the brain. 

These two botanicals are Silphium laciniatum leaf extract, and Hibiscus sabdarifa leaf extract. I developed the Silphium into a stand alone extract called, "Siphitrin" and enhanced it's effectiveness in the NeuroAntitox Formulas. The Hibiscus sabdarifa leaf extract is available as a stand alone remedy, that can be taken at the same time as the NeuroAntitox Formula or by itself.

When your healthcare professional finds ammonia is not just in the typical Lyme presentation of the liver, heart, brain, and jaws, but is found all over the body, such as is the case with almost all MS and ALS sufferers, then I would suggest using L-Ornithine/L-Aspertate, which used to be a German prescription drug called Hepamertz, that was used for the same purpose of helping reduce the ammonia seen in severe liver diseases. It is now available as a supplement. In that L-Ornithine/L-Aspartate does not work as well as the NeuroAntitox Formula, it is recommended that they be taken together.

Our Hansa Center doctors are trained to also target and suppress the production of urease by the bacteria to help eliminate the ammonia.

Consult with your natural healthcare professional before starting any new supplement. A general recommendation for the Silphitrin, Hibiscus, or NeuroAntitox Formula is 1-3 droppers, 2-3 times a day, with or without food. 

The Silphitrin and NeuroAntitox Basic Formula can be used in a soaking bath, for those whose digestive systems do not handle remedies and medicines well. The bath instructions are on the label of the bottle. Soak your body no more than 20 minutes in warm water, not hot water. 

Support the Organs of Elimination:

If one studied all the various supplements that support the detoxification and elimination organs it would rapidly be clear that you could spend hundreds of dollars on many different types of products. I have found that Metacrin-DX by Apex Energetics, Inc.™ is a gentle yet powerful product to support phase-1 and phase 2 of the liver detoxification pathways. 

Fiber is another important component of supporting proper bowel movements and the removal of toxins. Fiber acts like a sponge in the intestines, so I recommend Chewable Total Fiber by Nutriwest, Inc. It is better to have a somewhat dry sponge that can soak up poisonous cellular debris, than do drag a wet rag through the gut, like many fiber products that are mixed in water. 

Of course, drink plenty of purified water everyday to help support cellular function and to support the rapid clearing of toxins. Most people are dehydrated, often even when they drink a lot of water, because they have destroyed the membranes responsible for fluid transportation, impairing the body's ability to  effectively distribute water to the tissues. When the membranes are damaged, a person will often drink copious amounts of water, yet most of the water is rapidly urinated out. This leads to stagnation and dehydration in the tissues and organs, which can be addressed by using a product called Gather Vitality, by K'an Herbs, Inc. 

Juicing your own green drinks or getting them from your local health food store is another vitally important step in supporting the organs of elimination. My favorite recipe is to juice:

• One organic cucumber, 
• Two to three leaves and stalks each of organic kale and rainbow chard, 
• One organic Granny Smith apple, 
• One organic whole lime, 
• A small bunch of parsley or cilantro. 

It tastes great and is a power packed, nutrient dense infusion of nutrients that support the organs and enable them to have the strength to detox more effectively. Remember, asking the body to detox is asking the body to work really hard, often when the body is already very fatigued. You cannot or should not do any detoxification without also giving the body extra support to do the work. Juicing fresh organic fruits and veggies is not just nutrient rich, but is also rich in the vital energy of the plants. 

Another great way to increase cellular energy is to take Berberine w/ MicroPQQ and CoQ10. 

A Huge Help for Those with Any Illness

For those people who are profoundly drained of energy, cannot handle oral supplements well, are dehydrated, or have poor detoxification abilities, I highly recommend you use your internet search engine and find a I.V. hydration clinic in your area that offers nutritional I.V.'s called Myer's Cocktail with about 1000 to 2000 mg of Glutathione and extra Vitamin C added. This can be done weekly to monthly depending upon your condition. These clinics are usually very easy to get into, often without an appointment, without a doctor's prescription, and are staffed usually by highly-qualified Nurse Practitioners. 

Core Body Temperature Issues

If your primary symptoms are not severe brain issues, such as seen in MS, Parkinson's, or ALS then you definitely want to invest in a Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna for your personal use. Virtually no other device can "sour the milk", and shift the internal environment of your body than one of these saunas! Lyme bacteria cause the body to overcool. People with chronic LD often report that their body temperature is very low. If you are ever 96.5 or below, you are in real trouble and need to take this seriously. Every system of the body is energetically "working on fumes" and getting more toxic by the day as the body fluids, such as the lymph fluid, turn into a gel. 

There is a new way to do sauna therapy that quadruples its healing effects. The Sunlighten Saunas now have the options for Acoustic Resonance Therapy, Chromotherapy, Full-spectrum Infrared waves, 6-preset wellness programs, and a proprietary cream that enhances sweating in those tough to sweat areas!  These saunas are a long way from the boring saunas of old. They even offer a biofeedback option! These saunas are made for people with extreme sensitivities. The six-person Sunlighten Basswood saunas are the ones we use at the Hansa Center, and the smaller units are perfect for healing at home.

The Hansa Center Difference:
This article outlines the very basics of addressing toxicity in the body. I cannot do justice to the incredible complexity of what each of our doctors can bring to bear upon each person's case who comes to the Hansa Center. We have found that it is best to start with a two-week, all-inclusive package of care that enables us to apply maximum effort in daily hour long office visits with the doctor to really dig down and identify everything we can that has gone wrong in a person's body and determine unique ways to facilitate your body's ability to restore optimum function. This hyperlink is an effort to give you an idea of what the first few days of treatment at the Hansa Center would be like.

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.

Resetting Your Body's Thermostat for Increased Mobility, Pain Relief, and Healing

The effects of a low body temperature (under 97.0F or 36.1C) are well documented in the medical physiology textbooks. All efforts should be made to secure the restoration of normal body temperature.

The effect of even the most perfectly selected medicines is limited by the available energy in the body to correctly utilize those medicines. The laws of thermodynamics state that as you decrease in temperature you necessarily decrease in energy, and as you increase temperature, you necessarily increase energy. 

We are going to discuss treatment options in this article, however if you want to learn more about the various signs and symptoms of having a low core body temperature then read this link: http://bit.ly/1Fn6CQy

You and your healthcare team must address your body from every direction and with every balancing tool available. You can never truly overcome this condition with just pills. Therapies must engage and reactivate and stimulate the rhythmical, metabolic, and nerve/sense aspects of your body, addressing the body, mind, and spirit.

Other supporting therapies designed for restoring the rhythms of the body must be applied. These therapies might include color and sound therapy, hot and cold contrast therapy, life-activity planning, breathing and voice therapy, rhythmical massage therapy, curative movement therapies, and indeed every other treatment from your doctor will address in some way the rhythmical aspects of your body.

Low body temperature must be addressed to bring the body back to balance. The temperature must be elevated to end the dying process of the body and to help the body eliminate the cellular debris or the “sludge” in the body.

Testing Body Temp Recommendations at Home:
· Temperature monitoring and graphing (upon awakening before getting out of bed, and between 8-10 pm after a 30 minute resting period) Your temp should be no lower than 97.6F in the morning before getting out of bed. You should be a degree warmer in the evening, so 98.6F. If you are cooler in the evening then this too is a problem even if you are within normal temperature ranges. If your oral or axillary temps are normal but your extremities are cold, this is a different problem, but can still be helped with these recommendations.

(If you are testing in the armpit, you should add 1 degree to the final result. If you are taking a rectal temperature reading you should subtract 1 degree from the final result. Rectal readings are the most accurate, however for obvious reasons, close enough with oral or armpit readings are fine.)

Clinical Body Temp Testing: (Ask your doctor to do these tests)

• ·Whole Body Thermometry: For 15 years the doctors at the Hansa Center have utilized whole body thermometry, because it is one of the only reproducible tests that let you see how the organs, glands, and other tissues in the body are regulating from the perspective of the Autonomic Nervous System. The system our doctors use is the  AlfaSight9000™ Thermodiagnostic Test, which has received 510(K) clearance through the FDA Division of Radiological Health. Whole body thermometry is an adjunctive, diagnostic tool that provides a visible measurement of the Autonomic Nervous System, often the key to the causal factors of many diseases. The AlfaSight 9000™ is grounded in the established science of Regulation Thermography which was invented and first commercialized in Germany more than 20 years ago. It is a proven, accurate technology supported by more than 100,000 patient assessments, and has been clinically correlated with hundreds of MRI & CT Scans.

• Lab Testing: Definitely have your doctor do a complete Thyroid Profile, including thyroid antibodies, and Reverse T3. Also ask your doctor to do a 24-hour Saliva Cortisol/DHEA/Female and testosterone hormones test through DiagnosTechs Lab or Labrix. Address any findings with bio-identical hormones and glandular support, such as Cytozyme-AD for the cortisol (Each pill has 2.5 mg of bioidentical cortisol), and for the Thyroid support for Hypothyroid consider ThyroGold (bovine glandular)...definitely not Synthroid. (For great info and online support concerning thyroid issues go to www.StopTheThyroidMadness. The body's thermostat is NOT the thyroid, which is more the "throttle" of the body. The body's thermostat is really the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid axis, along with the functional integrity of the ENTIRE body. Do not get duped into believing you have fixed the core body temperature problems by simply forcing the thyroid to crank out more thyroid hormone, or by bypassing the thyroid by giving Armor or other thyroid glandulars. There is much more to really restoring health. Never do for the body what the body should do for itself, unless all other measures have failed. 
• Core Warmth™ herbal formula this organic formula was developed by Dr. David Jernigan to help restore and repair the cellular production of heat, biophoton production, and improve overall energy production of the body. This product is also designed to alleviate congestion all meridians and restore proper fluid dynamics and warmth regulation in the body. 
• Use an Amethyst BioMat® from Richway, Inc. We use these mats on all of our Therapeutic Massage tables to help liquify old gelatinous lymph fluid as our therapist strategically apply botanical and homeopathic ointments and oils to key points on your body to promote improved tissue dynamics. When heated with infrared wavelengths, amethyst crystals give off a molecular frequency that a has been used for centuries to provide deep, but gentle detoxification of the body. The mat comes in a full-length or chair-length and can be used periodically during the day or slept on at night to help restore normal body fluid viscosity (liquidity), and help reset core body warmth through variable infrared heat and the negatively-charged ions from amethyst crystals.
• Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna Therapy…The best broad-spectrum Infrared saunas are Sunlighten Saunas, un-treated basswood sauna. The Sunlighten is one of the only companies that offer a full-spectrum of infrared wavelengths (Near, Mid, and Far infrared) that come with 6 preset programs that allow you to determine what health issue you want to target, from the comfort of your own home. You can use the preset programs to target, 1) Detoxification, 2) Pain relief, 3) Weight loss, 4) Cardio, 5) Relaxation, 6) Skin health.  These saunas are built to the highest industry standards for the most environmentally sensitive individuals, so there is virtually no outgassing smells and they emit virtually no harmful EMF pollution. Other manufacturers use plastic, hemlock and other materials that in the heat of the sauna can continue to out-gas chemical smells that can cause endocrine system interference, and often emit harmful amounts of EMF pollution. If you have a sauna already and are feeling badly while or after you sit in it, you might just be suffering from the dislodging of toxins in your body, however it could be that you are reacting to the wood or plastic of the sauna, or the emitted EMF pollution from the electronics in the sauna. The specific sauna we use at the Hansa Center is the Sunlighten six person, basswood, broad-spectrum sauna, equipped with Chromotherapy, and Acoustic Resonance Therapy (ART) to achieve even deeper and more profound healing. The healing music played for the Acoustic Resonance therapy in the sauna is frequency-enhanced tones that have been shown to harmonically optimize the cellular and potentially genetic functioning. Often we use Michael Tyrrell's Wholetones CD and have seen a "quantum leap" in our results. Obviously I am passionate about this form of healing. I am a big fan of combining multiple ways of facilitating health in the body. Medical Neurology has determined that the more ways we can therapeutically address and affect the nervous system, the more rapid, deeper and longer lasting the healing. So in this one therapy that you can do safely at home you get to sit relaxed, and enjoy the best infrared technology, color therapy (The sauna is bathed in an infinite range of colors of your choosing.), at the same time you are using therapeutic music that sends healing sound frequencies, such as 528 hertz, which is the same sound frequency used by genetic engineers to repair DNA! 
• Natural-Bristle, Dry skin brushing: morning and evening. This knocks off the dead skin and rancid oils and soap off so that your pores are open and your body can detoxify the two and a half pounds of waste acids that should be eliminated through the skin every day. Dry skin brushing helps restore proper lymph fluid flow, as you brush your limbs and torso, always stroking up towards the heart, which is where all of the lymph fluid empties. This is inexpensive and again is something you can do for yourself that will help you perspire more freely throughout the day as your body was designed to do. 
• Detoxification Bath Therapy:…4 cups Epson Salt 64oz. Hydrogen Peroxide 3% in warm bathtub. Soak for no more than 20 minutes, one bath per night before bedtime.
• Mustard foot bath: This is a formulation that Dr. Jernigan developed, based upon formulations that are used in the Anthroposophical Medicine Hospitals in Europe. This is not just Mustard powder, but a combination of botanicals formulated to help eliminate muscular/joint pain, headaches, as well as help the body restore normal warmth and temperature regulation, and improve energy throughout the body. Use at least once per day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon, but can also be used before bed.
• Solum Aesculus Massage Oil (Uriel Pharmacy, Inc.) This oil and essence is great for restoring the warmth organization of the body. This oil is one of the only products I know of that is specifically formulated to help with the restoring the body's energetic resistance to chemical sensitivities, and those suffering from environmental and weather-change barometric-related sensitivities. The oil and essence are low odor products made by Uriel Pharmacy, Inc. This oil is used as massage oil in many European Biological and Anthroposophical Medicine hospitals by the curative therapeutic massage therapists. May be applied as needed.
• Source Eliminate toxic personal care products, soaps, shampoo, laundry products..anything you would not eat, do not breathe, or put on your skin, or on your clothing.
• Chiropractic spinal, pelvic, and cranial alignments combined with specific homeopathic, nutritional, glandular, and myofascial support using Bio-Resonance Scanning™, or other body circuit balancing technique…as dictated by your healthcare professional. You can take all the right supplements you want and still not get the right effect, if the body itself cannot properly utilize those remedies. Doctors of Chiropractic, especially those trained in more holistic, or bio-energetic ways to work on the entire body, mind, and spirit, can be the key to unlocking the door to the prison that is your illness! 
• Celluar Energy Production Testing: Our doctors at the Hansa Center use BRS to test all of the metabolic energy pathways to identify where the breakdown in energy production is occuring...including MTHFR and other genetic interferences, glycolysis, gluconeogenisis, increasing insulin sensitivity, and other biochemical imbalances need to be addressed that are preventing proper energy and thermal regulation. Mitochondrial problems are very common in chronic illnesses.
• Efficient digestion and gut function is essential. Unroasted, green coffee enemas can dramatically assist in liver and intestine cleansing. Consider Fecal Bacteriotherapy.
• PowerPlate®… work up to 20 minutes per day. (Or other movement therapies) You cannot be sedentary and expect your body to produce much energy or heat, however often a person is too weak or is housebound and cannot comprehend working out. This machine is something that you should not buy a cheap knock-off brand, I did when I first bought a similar, but cheaper version of the PowerPlate and it injured by back, hips, and knees! The PowerPlate is a hugely therapeutic device that you can having in your home, that vibrates the cells to action, detoxification, and mobilization of cellular energy production. When I was at my worst with Lyme disease, or other life issues, sometimes all I could do is sit or simply stand on the PowerPlate and let it do its work. I could get rid of much of my pain, and other issues with a minimum of effort. Now that I am well, I get dramatically more out of really exercising on the PowerPlate.
• Consider finding a doctor with PEMF therapy to increase cellular energy. PEMF therapy is the most advanced form of cellular exercise, working on a cellular level it produces the same effects and benefits as physical exercise, but without the stress and strain upon your muscles and bone, a real bonus for those who have gotten dragged too far down by the illness and previous harsh treatments. PEMF is like a deep massage of the organelles inside your cells. By restoring the body’s natural electro-magnetic energy through PEMF therapy, cell metabolism is boosted, blood cells are regenerated, circulation is improved and oxygen carrying capacity is increased.· Therapeutic Massage using various homeopathic and herbal ointments (Uriel Pharmacy, Inc.) and therapeutic essential oils (Young Living Essential Oils company) (The massage therapists at the Hansa Center use the BioMats on the massage tables to facilitate the liquifying of gelatinous mucin in the tissues. Our all-inclusive treatment packages include daily therapeutic massages.) 
• Dietary Changes… call the Hansa Center for Optimum Health (316-686-5900) for the pamphlet Dr. Jernigan wrote on cooling foods and warming foods for restoring optimum body temperature. Eating only organic foods or as close to organic as possible will give your body not just great bioavailable nutrients, but will give your body more inherent energy than commercially grown foods. Intermittent fasting can free up much metabolic energy for healing instead of constantly diverting energy to digest food. 
• Reset the cross-wiring of the Limbic System using Dynamic Neural Retraining System. This is Annie Hopper's science-based, brainchild. This program is offered in DVD's that you can implement in the comfort and security of your own home, or there are powerful workshops that you can attend, where through the synergy of trainers and other people going through program, often combine to create dramatic shifts. Impaired Limbic System function is associated with many of these so-called "mysterious" illnesses. Through using neuroplasticity promoting techniques, participants are methodically instructed in how to create positive changes in the structure and function of the limbic system. Your cells and indeed your entire body is energetically, and biochemically following the instructions it is receiving from the Limbic System. The Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS) represents a new paradigm in healing chronic illnesses as we discover the link between brain function and optimal health. My wife and I, as well as some of our Hansa staff and doctors have taken the DNRS program, and/or seen dramatic longterm healing in our own lives, and in that of Hansa patients.
• There are many more targeted things that we can do to facilitate the restoration of optimum function and reset the core body temperature regulation, but this should get you started.

As you can see, restoring the optimum core temperature is rarely as simple as saying, "Here, take this wonder-pill and call me in the morning." It takes work. It will likely take a few months to a year or more to fully repair the problems. Many of these treatments can be done at home at relatively low cost. Incorporate as many of these as you can. Check with your doctor before beginning any new therapy.

For more advanced conditions add the following:
· Prescription-only, daily injections of Homeopathic, Viscum Album (V. Mali for women, and V. Quercus for men) from your prescribing physician. (Uriel Pharmacy, Inc.)

If You Have Even One of These in Your Mouth You Are in Danger!

A major victory for the health of hundreds of millions of people is truly happening! After poisoning the world population, and creating much of the autoimmune, neuro-degenerative, and autonomic illnesses, the use and promotion of mercury-based dental amalgams is being eliminated from dental practice by governments worldwide!

Why is this happening? Is there a shortage of mercury causing it to be outlawed? NO! It is finally being acknowledged as extremely bad for you to have even one of these old silver amalgam fillings in your mouth.

If you have any silver amalgam fillings in your teeth you need to seriously consider getting it removed. These amalgams are toxic and have been linked to over a hundred different illnesses.

I compare this issue to the cigarette industry coverup; they knew that their cigarettes were creating health problems and hid the research. I think the ADA should be handled in the exact same manner as the cigarette industry...taken to court, and made to pay billions for the damage they knowingly inflicted upon society by ignoring and suppressing all the research that has overwhelmingly demonstrated the many problems caused by using mercury amalgams.

The ADA went as far as threatening dentist's licenses for removing mercury fillings for any reason other than for cosmetic reasons. Biological dentists and other more naturally-inclined dentists could not remove them for health and disease treatment or for disease prevention.

Read the following links for more coverage on this important issue: http://bit.ly/1v9YVZt and http://bit.ly/1CPRGXw.

"Currently dental amalgam fillings contain around 48 to 51 percent mercury by weight. Copper comes in second with the high copper amalgam now leading the markets. Copper can be from 24 to 33 percent of the amalgam. The higher the copper level, the faster the mercury and copper - both are emitted from the fillings. If a gold crown is anywhere in the mouth, mercury comes off faster. According to university studies done by Dr. Chew, over the first two years after placement, amalgams release about 34 micrograms of mercury per filling (per square centimeter of filling exposed) per day. These tests were done of silver-mercury fillings sitting in water and tested daily." - H. Huggins, DDS, The Real Story on Amalgams

If you are thinking about getting your old silver (mercury) amalgams removed and replaced with composite fillings, please be aware that there are things you need to do before, during, and after removal to insure that your body is correctly supported. You might think you are sick now, and getting the amalgam fillings and other metal retainers out will help you heal, but if done incorrectly you could go from the proverbial frying pan right into the fire!

Mercury from amalgams and other environmental, vaccine, and dietary sources is much more toxic than lead or even arsenic! (Sam, Ziff & Michael F. Ziff, D.D.S. Dentistry Without Mercury. Orlando: Bio-Probe, Inc. 2001. Pg. 11.) So even with the most careful removal of the dental metals from your teeth, it could stir up metals all over your body to relocate to new areas and cause even more damage. Remember, we call these metals toxins because they damage tissue. These are not just irritants that once removed will cause the body to instantly start working correctly. The tissues that have been damaged by the heavy metals will need support in order for the body to be able to repair the damaged tissues and restore optimum function.

Simply getting the amalgams drilled out of your teeth can liberate huge amounts of toxic heavy metals into your body. If the procedure is done poorly by the dentist, then it could even shut down your kidneys, which would result in needing dialysis for the rest of your life! (Biological dentists have extensive training and specialized equipment to safely remove these old amalgams. Find a Biological Dentist at: iabdm.org)

Over the last twenty years I have trained and worked side by side with renowned biological dentists to develop pre- and post- amalgam removal support protocols.* There are many considerations that must be taken into account to enable the liberation of the heavy metals that are inadvertently released by the amalgam removal, as well as the heavy metals that have lodged in various tissues in the body.

The following is a good pre- and post- amalgam removal protocol.* For your convenience the six primary products in the protocol are being put on our website at a reduced package price. These products should last at least one month depending on the amounts you are taking of each product.

1. BCI® (Beyond Cellular Impurities)
2. Homeopathic Dental Materials®
3. NeuroAntitox Basic Formula®
4. King Chlorella®
5. Probiotic Formula®
6. TPP-Protease®

How to Implement this Pre and Post Amalgam Removal Protocol

 

It is recommended that you begin the process of building up your organs of elimination (liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin) by beginning this protocol at least 4 weeks prior to amalgam removal and continue the protocol for three months after the last of the amalgams have been removed. Your biological dentist may want to remove the biggest and worst amalgams first and then the others on subsequent visits. Even if your dentist takes precautions to keep more metals from entering your system, you will need to still detoxify, using this or some other protocol. The dislodging and stirring up of the metals that have leached out of the fillings over the years are now released from where they have been electromagnetically held in the tissues.


1. BCI® (Beyond Cellular Impurities) - This product contains all of the documented natural, yet powerful heavy metal chelating substances. To chelate essentially means to take something that will grab onto and pull out heavy metals from the tissues and from your blood so that they can be excreted. (oral chelation explained) BCI supports the entire body, but mainly the primary organs of elimination...the liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin. If you were to try to buy a bottle of every nutrient required to address everything needed to safely and efficiently chelate out heavy metals, support the tissues, and kill microbes like candida, parasites, and mold, that like to bind up heavy metals and hold them in your body, it would likely cost you several hundred dollars. This product is a packet of several capsules and tablets that contains everything you need in one convenient product for supporting all the organs of elimination and chelating heavy metals out of the body. Each container of BCI contains 30 packets and will last one month, since you will be taking one packet per day with a meal. One packet of BCI includes:

• Binding Cellular Impurities - Binding Cellular Impurities has the same vital ingredients as the BC-I, including Vitamin K-2, Resveratrol, and the purest available Omega 3 oils, EDTA and more.  This formula provides the finest multi-vitamin/mineral available.

• Beyond Any Multiple - This new formula takes the proven product Beyond Longevity and improves it with many exciting nutrient changes. These include the addition of resveratrol and for the first time in any multiple anywhere, an all natural Vitamin K-2. At $10,000 per kilogram for Vitamin K-2, no other multiple has ever added this vital ingredient to protect bones and help prevent hardening of the arteries. This provides all the necessary minerals needed to assist the body in detoxifying and creating the environment for optimum health. "Mineral deficiency provides the opportunity for toxic metals to attach themselves to vacant binding sites. A healthy mineral base is a prerequisite for all metal detox attempts (selenium, zinc, manganese, germanium, molybdenum etc.). Substituting minerals can detoxify the body by itself." - Klinghardt, D

• Essential Daily Defense - No other garlic-based product comes close to the powerful, synergistic combination of  this unique formula.

• Omega-3 Softgel  - The American Heart Association reports that Omega-3 fatty acids reduce heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and sudden death! Omega-3 may also promote healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, normal heart rhythm, healthy brain and memory function, easy joint movement.

• Ginkgo Biloba  - Ginkgo is believed to have a regulating effect on the entire vascular system of veins, arteries and capillaries. Ginkgo promotes blood flow in the brain by working with the body to improve the use of oxygen and glucose, enhancing mental performance.

• Primrose Oil is especially popular with women and active people seeking nutritional support for their personal health requirements.  These essential fatty acids are necessary components of all body cells, but not found in commonly consumed foods.

2. Homeopathic Dental Materials® (1 fl. oz.) - This homeopathic remedy helps with dental material sensitivity that may flare during the extraction process and assists the body in eliminating toxicity and reactions to the anesthetics and new dental materials that the dentist may use to replace the old amalgam fillings. This is a homeopathic cord of the energetic principle of mercury and other dental materials (cord = multiple potencies of the same substance in the same bottle). It may sound like you are putting mercury and other potentially toxic substances in your body, but it is just the homeopathic signature of mercury and materials that will cause the body to push those substances out of the tissues, so that the chelating agents in the BCI can grab onto them and whisk them out of the body. Research has documented that if an animal were injected with a sublethal dose of a heavy metal that the body would naturally eliminate about 30% of the metal via the urine and feces. If the animal is given the homeopathic cord of that metal, the body will immediately eliminate another 39% of the metal from the tissues. This homeopathic remedy contains the energetic homeopathic potencies of : Caries, Gingivitis, Periodontitis 16x, 20x, 30x. Root Ostitis 20x, 30x. Argentum Metallicum, Mercurius Solubilis, Aurum Metallicum, Platinum Metallicum, Dental Materials (Amalgams, Composites, Bonding Resins, Dentin Bonders, Cavity Liners, Metals, Ceramics, Cements, Temporary Restoratives, Root Canal Materials, Anesthetics, Denture Materials, Flourides) 30x, 60x, 100x, 500x, 1000x. Recommended starting dose would be 3 drops under the tongue 1 time per day, for a week, increasing to 10 drops twice a day under the tongue thereafter. *As in all liquid remedies, do not touch the dropper to your mouth, or set the dropper down on a counter. Keep the bottle and dropper tightly sealed, as sterile as possible, and at least one foot away from cellphones, and other electronic devices and appliances.

3. NeuroAntitox Basic Formula® - Anytime toxins are being addressed the best way to avoid getting new symptoms is to neutralize the toxic effects of the substances right where they are, instead of dragging toxic substances through the tissues, causing damage all the way as they are moved through the body for elimination. I developed this formula to specifically enable people to dramatically reduce the symptoms that are often associated with heavy metal detoxification and eliminating microbial die-off toxins, which often also contain heavy metals. This product is one of the few products that research has shown will enable the body to eliminate toxins locked up in the brain. A good start would be to take 1 dropper in purified water 2-3 times a day and work your way up to 3 droppers, 3 times a day to support the body.

4. King Chlorella® - Not all chlorella products are created equal. Some varieties are extremely difficult for people to digest and therefore cause more problems than they fix. King Chlorella is the best form of broken-wall chlorella, and is therefore one of the easiest to digest and one of the most biologically active of the various chlorella products, at a reasonable price. Chlorella has a mucopolysaccaride membrane and chlorophyl (the green in plants similar to hemoglobin) that enables it to "sweeten the intestines," and pull many different types of toxins out of the body. I recommend chewing 1-3 a day and working your way up to as many as 10-12 a day. If the taste makes it too difficult to chew then simply swallow them whole. It it not necessary to push yourself and suffer by taking too many too soon. Listen to your body. If you are struggling, then back off until you feel you can add more to your daily regimen. Chlorella can be as effective as the prescription Cholestyramine at pulling toxins out of the body.

5. Probiotic Formula® by Transformation Enzymes, Inc. - Probiotics are friendly bacteria that colonize the health human intestines. These friendly flora bacteria help eliminate or kill the Candida, fungi, and harmful bacteria that will often grab onto and hold the heavy metals, preventing the metals from being eliminated from your body. There are many different probiotic supplements on the market, but they are not all the same, even if the types of friendly bacteria listed on the label are identical. How the bacteria are produced, whether they can withstand an acidic or alkaline environment or both, any the actual ratio and number of the various bacteria are important as well. General recommendation it to take 1 capsule morning and evening.

6. TPP-Protease® by Transformation Enzymes, Inc.- This systemic enzyme is designed to help breakdown biofilms and fibrin, as well as reduce inflammation. A general recommended dose is to start with 2 capsules, 2 times a day on an empty stomach with an 8 oz. glass of water (Empty stomach = at least 45 minutes before eating, and at least an hour after eating, to insure that the protease enzyme is not used up just digesting the proteins from your meal.)

Supportive Therapies That You Can Do at Home

 

1. Drink a good whey protein powder supplement such as the great product, Goatein® by Garden of Life, Inc. Goatein is available in most health food stores. According to the world-renowned physician, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, "Proteins provide the important precursors to the endogenous metal detox and shuttle agents, such as coeruloplasmin, metallothioneine, glutathione and others. The branched-chain amino acids in cow and goat whey have valuable independent detox effects. Metals attach themselves only in places that are programmed for attachment of metal ions. Just as important are electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium), which help to transport toxic waste across the extracellular space towards the lymphatic and venous vessels."

• Goat milk is the closest to human mother's milk in nature making it superior to bovine whey protein or whey isolates. Goatein® is also unique for the following reasons:
•  It is a unique protein powder made from goat's milk.
• Easy to digest - can be tolerated by many people who have difficulty digesting cow's milk .
• An excellent source of complete protein (13g per serving) that contains all eight essential amino acids - protein building blocks crucial to good health.
• Goatein® is an animal protein. Animal proteins are the only complete sources of protein. Vegetarian protein sources such as soy are typically missing one or more of the essential amino acids, even if their protein content is high.
• Goatein contains pure goat's milk from goats raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. Many commercial dairy protein powders are produced from animals given antibiotics and hormones.
• Many vegetable proteins are made from non-organic or genetically modified organisms and may contain chemical residues.
• Goatein is processed without excessive heat so all its elements remain in their natural forms. Other milk protein powders that claim to be minimally processed are in fact subject to invasive processing, including heating and drying at high temperatures.
• Protein molecules in goat's milk have a different structure than those in cow's milk. This allows certain people who cannot tolerate bovine milk to consume milk protein from goats. 
• Goatein® goats are not fed pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, or antibiotics.

2. Drink 1/2 a gallon of distilled water per day and a 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of purified water per day, such as the Penta Water® brand of micro-clustered water from your local health food store. Even if a worker is exposed to heavy metals at their place of work, and are hospitalized as a result of the heavy metal toxicity, the hospital will have them drink distilled water to help pull the heavy metals out of circulation. Distilled water is demineralized, therefore it will pull other minerals and metals out of the tissues. For obvious reasons, such as pulling too many beneficial minerals out of the bones and tissues of the body, a person would not want to drink copious amounts of distilled water for more than four weeks. The product BCI that I recommend in this protocol has in its formulation all of the necessary minerals that would need to be replenished.

3. Skin Brushing - (skin brushes can be purchased from the Hansa Center store by calling 316-686-5900 ext 2) Click on the blue hyperlink to read how to do this properly and why dry skin brushing is important.

4. Strengthening/Nutritive Bath - Any form of detoxification is hard work for the body. For this reason many people feel fatigued while detoxing. It is important to take one day a week off from doing any supplements or detoxification therapies. On this day of allowing the body to rest, it is a good idea to do a Strengthening/Nutritive Bath. This bath allows the energetic and nutritive aspects of the bath ingredients to bypass the digestive tract, which would be taxed even more having to deal with the bath ingredients. If possible, do this bath after doing the Dry Skin Brushing protocol so that you knock off a lot of the dead skin and soap/oil residue that would otherwise block the absorption of the beneficial aspects of this bath. The Dry Skin Brushing will also stimulate the circulation of the lymphatic fluid and blood to pick up and distribute the healing, strengthening nutrients of the bath. This bath is a good "pick-me-up" for anytime you feel overloaded and stressed out.

5. Infrared Sauna - The skin is the largest organ of elimination of toxins. Your skin should be eliminating 2.5 pounds of waste acids and toxins per DAY! Talk about a healthy weight loss program! Most people have clogged up their skin with soap, shampoo, lotions, oils, and powders. (The best and safest broad-specrum infrared sauna ) Avoid saunas that are made with plastics, glue, heavily scented wood types, such as cedar, hemlock, or pine, and those that generate high EMF pollution. If you cannot afford to purchase one of these saunas then please call your local gyms, health clubs, or natural doctors to see about getting access to using this important step in detoxifying your body. I have also heard several of our patients pooled their money with other people in their area to collectively buy one they could all use.

*If you are pregnant, breastfeeding a child do not undergo any form of detoxification, since the heavy metals and toxins will end up in your baby! If you are excessively sick, weak, or emaciated, then do not start any form of detoxification before discussing it with your health care professional! The products recommended in this protocol are all well tolerated by reasonably healthy individuals, however it is a good idea to discuss this protocol with your natural health care doctor before starting no matter what your health condition, to strategize when you should implement this protocol if you are already taking supplements for another purpose. It may be that your doctor will want you to wait until the protocol you are already on is completed before beginning this protocol, since there is the possibility that the products of this protocol will interfere either with the products you are already taking, or will be too much for your body to handle both protocols at the same time. Although this protocol seeks to eliminate or minimize any worsening of health problems as a result of the detoxification process, due to the complexity of the human condition there remains the possibility of symptoms getting worse. Again, discuss this protocol with your health care professional before beginning, and stop or get support if your condition worsens. This protocol is not intended to treat, cure, diagnose, or mitigate any disease or illness, and has not been evaluated by the FDA.
