Lyme disease is a master of disguise, often mimicking a host of other neurological conditions like depression, anxiety, vertigo, and even severe illnesses such as Alzheimer's or MS. The conventional medical approach frequently misses the mark, focusing on symptoms rather than the cunning spirochete at the root. This webinar rips apart the myths surrounding Lyme, revealing how this highly evolved organism evades detection, burrows into tissues, and can be transmitted in unexpected ways. We expose why standard testing falls short and how a personalized, root-cause approach is essential to unraveling the complex web of neurological Lyme manifestations.
What you'll learn
- Lyme is an evolved spirochete, often mimicking other neurological conditions like MS or Alzheimer's.
- Standard Lyme testing is frequently inadequate, failing to detect the infection in its hiding places.
- Lyme can be transmitted beyond tick bites, including through venison consumption and sexual contact.
- Retroviruses can immunosuppress, hindering Lyme recovery and often manifesting as elevated TGF-beta 1.
- Dental infections, especially from improperly removed teeth, can serve as entry points for neurological Lyme.
- Neurological Lyme can cause severe mood disorders, brain fog, and memory loss, requiring comprehensive investigation.
- Cookie-cutter protocols fail; personalized, root-cause investigation is paramount for effective Lyme treatment.

- What are some of the neurological conditions that Lyme can mimic?
- Neurological Lyme can look like depression, anxiety, vertigo, Alzheimer's, dementia, ALS, and multiple sclerosis.
- Is Lyme disease only transmitted by ticks?
- No, Lyme can be transmitted through various vectors like fleas, mosquitoes, spiders, mother-to-child, consumption of venison, and sexually.
- Why is a basic blood test not sufficient for diagnosing Lyme?
- Lyme often does not live in the blood; it hides in connective tissue, and traditional blood tests like Quest or LabCorp antibody tests are not reliable, nor is the Western blot.
- How can retroviruses impact a Lyme infection?
- Retroviruses can cause immunosuppression, making it difficult for the body to heal from infections like Lyme, and their activation can be triggered by toxicity and stress.
- What is the gold standard for diagnosing Lyme properly?
- The gold standard involves using the RK protocol to provoke the Lyme, followed by a DNA PCR urine test by DNA Connections.

- Quest — Lyme antibody test through Quest is considered garbage.
- LabCorp — Lyme antibody test through LabCorp is considered garbage.

0:00:00.000,0:00:02.060 you 0:00:06.260,0:00:14.370 hi everyone we are back we are back with 0:00:10.500,0:00:17.310 our next episode of our webinar series 0:00:14.370,0:00:20.279 about Lyme this month in honor of Lyme 0:00:17.310,0:00:23.010 disease Awareness Month I'm going to 0:00:20.279,0:00:26.070 apologize ahead of time I am not feeling 0:00:23.010,0:00:29.460 at my best today so my

0:00:40.079,0:00:44.160 neurologically so for those of you that 0:00:42.390,0:00:47.010 are here on the webinar I am also an 0:00:44.160,0:00:49.559 Instagram live I always like to do both

0:01:03.930,0:01:06.750 those of you that are on the webinar 0:01:04.890,0:01:09.509 though you can definitely feel free to 0:01:06.750,0:01:13.020 ask questions as we go I'm happy to go 0:01:09.509,0:01:15.330 over those questions as we go or towards 0:01:13.020,0:01:18.030 the end of the webinar as well so 0:01:15.330,0:01:20.490 tonight what we're really talking about 0:01:18.030,0:01:22.649 is we're piggybacking off of what we 0:01:20.490,0:01:24.660 talked about last week and last week was 0:01:22.649,0:01:26.940 really setting the foundation of all of 0:01:24.660,0:01:29.130 the things that are not necessarily 0:01:26.940,0:01:32.369 always being discussed in reference to 0:01:29.130,0:01:35.429 Lyme and being you know that moreso 0:01:32.369,0:01:36.840 being in relation to the different 0:01:35.429,0:01:39.479 testing that is available the 0:01:36.840,0:01:41.849 limitations with the testing in addition 0:01:39.479,0:01:45.420 to the limitations with the conventional 0:01:41.849,0:01:47.220 treatment protocols so today it's really 0:01:45.420,0:01:49.220 talking a little bit more about 0:01:47.220,0:01:52.649 neurological Lyme and the many many 0:01:49.220,0:01:54.539 faces of neurological Lyme so I'm gonna 0:01:52.649,0:01:57.420 be sharing some really interesting case 0:01:54.539,0:02:00.780 studies with you because neurological 0:01:57.420,0:02:03.030 Lyme first of all is extremely extremely 0:02:00.780,0:02:08.369 difficult to be diagnosed properly and 0:02:03.030,0:02:11.400 in addition to that it is it's looking 0:02:08.369,0:02:13.170 like many other neurological conditions 0:02:11.400,0:02:18.360 that people are getting diagnosed with 0:02:13.170,0:02:20.640 such as depression anxiety vertigo 0:02:18.360,0:02:24.270 and it can be even as significant as 0:02:20.640,0:02:26.280 Alzheimer's dementia ALS multiple 0:02:24.270,0:02:27.320 sclerosis so these are some of the 0:02:26.280,0:02:29.490 things that we're going to be 0:02:27.320,0:02:33.270 understanding a bit better as we go 0:02:29.490,0:02:36.960 tonight is how and why do things 0:02:33.270,0:02:39.870 manifest the way they do why can one 0:02:36.960,0:02:43.500 infection look so different in so many 0:02:39.870,0:02:46.340 different people so before we get into 0:02:43.500,0:02:49.110 the Nitty Gritty of understanding that 0:02:46.340,0:02:50.850 you know some of the major things that 0:02:49.110,0:02:53.880 I'm gonna reiterate from our last 0:02:50.850,0:02:55.440 webinar is really understanding again 0:02:53.880,0:02:58.050 the limitations with the testing that 0:02:55.440,0:03:00.870 exists for Lyme all together let alone 0:02:58.050,0:03:03.030 neurological Lyme also understanding 0:03:00.870,0:03:06.030 that you don't know you don't know when 0:03:03.030,0:03:10.200 it comes to where your body is at it's 0:03:06.030,0:03:12.390 very very difficult to know what type of 0:03:10.200,0:03:14.280 treatment modalities are best for you 0:03:12.390,0:03:17.580 when you don't even actually have the 0:03:14.280,0:03:20.430 right diagnosis and again understanding 0:03:17.580,0:03:23.190 some of the Diagnostics that exist for 0:03:20.430,0:03:25.230 Lyme and then what is really the gold 0:03:23.190,0:03:26.850 standard out nowadays that's gonna give 0:03:25.230,0:03:29.459 you the most accurate information in the 0:03:26.850,0:03:31.230 shortest amount of time and then the 0:03:29.459,0:03:33.300 other big one is really understanding 0:03:31.230,0:03:34.680 all of the myths around line you know 0:03:33.300,0:03:37.200 one of the myths that we're gonna talk 0:03:34.680,0:03:39.780 about today is just the basic concept 0:03:37.200,0:03:42.330 that Lyme only comes from a tick there 0:03:39.780,0:03:44.580 are so many different avenues of 0:03:42.330,0:03:49.860 exposure that we're gonna discuss that 0:03:44.580,0:03:52.080 will probably blow your mind so just a 0:03:49.860,0:03:54.540 little bit about my background just so 0:03:52.080,0:03:56.430 you kind of understand Who I am and why 0:03:54.540,0:03:59.430 I'm even talking about this topic but 0:03:56.430,0:04:02.250 for myself I am an integrative medicine 0:03:59.430,0:04:03.900 practitioner I work at integrated 0:04:02.250,0:04:06.450 wellness group I am the co-owner with my 0:04:03.900,0:04:10.200 husband dr. Nick but really at the end 0:04:06.450,0:04:12.660 of the day I have always questioned the 0:04:10.200,0:04:16.169 things that I have been taught over time 0:04:12.660,0:04:18.600 and that really just came from feeling 0:04:16.169,0:04:20.880 like a lot of the things that I was 0:04:18.600,0:04:22.500 taught but also the way that we went 0:04:20.880,0:04:25.740 about things in clinical practice or 0:04:22.500,0:04:27.810 were told to go about didn't always make 0:04:25.740,0:04:30.510 tons of sense to me 0:04:27.810,0:04:32.460 and when it came to this concept of lime 0:04:30.510,0:04:36.270 I know that this was a huge learning 0:04:32.460,0:04:38.550 curve for myself and it really took time 0:04:36.270,0:04:41.669 to understand this infection as a whole 0:04:38.550,0:04:45.810 and to understand how tricky it is how 0:04:41.669,0:04:49.200 evolved it is and how strategic you have 0:04:45.810,0:04:49.770 to be in order to help people to get 0:04:49.200,0:04:52.139 well 0:04:49.770,0:04:54.860 so an integrated wellness group we have 0:04:52.139,0:04:58.680 really moved from this idea of 0:04:54.860,0:05:01.229 functional medicine into integrative and 0:04:58.680,0:05:02.970 primarily was actually because of the 0:05:01.229,0:05:05.669 patients that we worked with with lime 0:05:02.970,0:05:07.919 because it wasn't just about diet it 0:05:05.669,0:05:11.220 wasn't just about supplements there was 0:05:07.919,0:05:13.919 so much more to be considered and that 0:05:11.220,0:05:19.250 was everything from emotional to 0:05:13.919,0:05:19.250 energetic to neurological to physic 0:05:20.800,0:05:25.690 to help people from all different 0:05:22.780,0:05:27.490 avenues when it came to all different 0:05:25.690,0:05:28.120 types of chronic illness but Lyme being 0:05:27.490,0:05:33.069 a big one 0:05:28.120,0:05:35.590 and because of the approach that we take 0:05:33.069,0:05:38.349 I don't you know I call myself an 0:05:35.590,0:05:39.909 integrative practitioner but I am lyme 0:05:38.349,0:05:42.009 literate based off of the training that 0:05:39.909,0:05:45.120 I've done but do I only work with Lyme 0:05:42.009,0:05:48.849 patients no and primarily that's because 0:05:45.120,0:05:50.560 when it comes down to understanding the 0:05:48.849,0:05:52.150 root cause and understanding the 0:05:50.560,0:05:55.180 foundation of what's going on with the 0:05:52.150,0:05:57.909 patient it's not about the diagnosis 0:05:55.180,0:05:59.470 it's not about the pathology sometimes 0:05:57.909,0:06:01.479 it's honestly not even about the 0:05:59.470,0:06:03.909 symptoms it's about understanding the 0:06:01.479,0:06:06.810 big picture of how it all pieces 0:06:03.909,0:06:09.430 together and what is the one or two 0:06:06.810,0:06:13.000 foundational problems that are causing 0:06:09.430,0:06:15.819 the umbrella of symptoms because that's 0:06:13.000,0:06:18.550 usually what it is is there is one or 0:06:15.819,0:06:21.490 two primary things that are creating 0:06:18.550,0:06:23.199 this snowball effect that's causing the 0:06:21.490,0:06:28.169 majority of the symptoms that we deal 0:06:23.199,0:06:30.520 with on a day-to-day basis so for myself 0:06:28.169,0:06:34.810 unfortunately I remember feeling very 0:06:30.520,0:06:36.699 guilty about my story and it was 0:06:34.810,0:06:38.560 primarily because I didn't really have a 0:06:36.699,0:06:40.630 story I didn't get into this industry 0:06:38.560,0:06:43.300 because I was super sick and nobody 0:06:40.630,0:06:45.159 could help me and then eventually an 0:06:43.300,0:06:47.409 integrative functional doctor you know 0:06:45.159,0:06:50.710 got me back to health I was actually the 0:06:47.409,0:06:52.930 opposite so for me I had a lot of these 0:06:50.710,0:06:56.409 symptoms that like pretty much 0:06:52.930,0:06:59.050 classified as my normal the brain fog 0:06:56.409,0:07:01.120 was my normal having to read you know a 0:06:59.050,0:07:03.300 page while I was in school three or four 0:07:01.120,0:07:06.550 times to comprehend it was my normal 0:07:03.300,0:07:08.380 headaches were my normal really terrible 0:07:06.550,0:07:11.259 periods were my normal occasional 0:07:08.380,0:07:14.529 stomachaches when I ate out or ate too 0:07:11.259,0:07:17.590 much was my normal so there were so many 0:07:14.529,0:07:20.229 things that I just equated to being my 0:07:17.590,0:07:22.690 normal and they all happen slowly over 0:07:20.229,0:07:25.779 time but what's really interesting is 0:07:22.690,0:07:29.380 that eventually I started having heart 0:07:25.779,0:07:31.990 palpitations when I was I guess I was in 0:07:29.380,0:07:33.639 high schools when it started got worse 0:07:31.990,0:07:34.180 when I was into college and then it got 0:07:33.639,0:07:37.389 to the point 0:07:34.180,0:07:40.270 that I was actually fainting so all of 0:07:37.389,0:07:41.800 this gradually over time nobody can 0:07:40.270,0:07:44.320 necessarily tell me what was going on 0:07:41.800,0:07:46.060 with me so it became my normal it was 0:07:44.320,0:07:48.490 like learn how to navigate around it 0:07:46.060,0:07:50.380 don't drink too much coffee don't go for 0:07:48.490,0:07:52.539 a really intense run right before your 0:07:50.380,0:07:54.850 period because those were all triggers 0:07:52.539,0:07:56.740 for me and how many of you can relate to 0:07:54.850,0:07:58.750 that is like you know your triggers and 0:07:56.740,0:08:00.699 you avoid them to keep you know your 0:07:58.750,0:08:03.850 body at bay or keep your symptoms 0:08:00.699,0:08:06.490 balanced out so what's interesting is 0:08:03.850,0:08:09.160 that after I got into this field and I 0:08:06.490,0:08:10.810 learned you know about this whole 0:08:09.160,0:08:12.580 concept of Lyme and I started 0:08:10.810,0:08:15.699 understanding it more it actually turned 0:08:12.580,0:08:17.680 out that I had Lyme I was affecting my 0:08:15.699,0:08:21.070 pericardium it was affecting my heart 0:08:17.680,0:08:23.139 and this was a huge culprit as to why 0:08:21.070,0:08:25.870 the electrical system of my heart wasn't 0:08:23.139,0:08:27.250 working properly and this was one of the 0:08:25.870,0:08:30.250 reasons why I was having these heart 0:08:27.250,0:08:32.349 palpitations so the thing to kind of 0:08:30.250,0:08:34.149 take away from this is that I didn't 0:08:32.349,0:08:36.430 have heart palpitations all day every 0:08:34.149,0:08:38.680 day these were things that were coming 0:08:36.430,0:08:42.250 and going and they were coming and going 0:08:38.680,0:08:44.500 based off of triggers and so when you're 0:08:42.250,0:08:47.350 dealing with this Lyme infection it is 0:08:44.500,0:08:50.080 not that it is always active and always 0:08:47.350,0:08:53.320 causing problems it will ebb and flow 0:08:50.080,0:08:55.240 based off of your body always trying to 0:08:53.320,0:08:58.060 keep or get back to what you call 0:08:55.240,0:09:01.540 homeostasis which is to pretty much keep 0:08:58.060,0:09:03.880 you healthy so this is was very 0:09:01.540,0:09:06.310 eye-opening for me because I wasn't this 0:09:03.880,0:09:08.110 telltale Lyme patient I didn't have 0:09:06.310,0:09:10.120 joint pain I wasn't debilitated and I 0:09:08.110,0:09:11.589 wasn't bedridden I was really just 0:09:10.120,0:09:14.680 having a lot of cardiovascular 0:09:11.589,0:09:18.070 complications that was a big part of how 0:09:14.680,0:09:20.410 that infection was affecting my body so 0:09:18.070,0:09:22.209 every single person's body is going to 0:09:20.410,0:09:25.600 be affected quite differently when 0:09:22.209,0:09:28.270 you're dealing with us so right now I 0:09:25.600,0:09:29.680 know that it is ten after seven and 0:09:28.270,0:09:32.290 there is a lot of things happening 0:09:29.680,0:09:34.060 around us in our household but we're 0:09:32.290,0:09:35.740 going to be diving into this topic a 0:09:34.060,0:09:37.300 little bit more in the next few minutes 0:09:35.740,0:09:39.700 and I want you guys to have the 0:09:37.300,0:09:41.890 opportunity it's just kind of like calm 0:09:39.700,0:09:44.140 everything down around you you know shut 0:09:41.890,0:09:45.400 the email browser off tell everybody to 0:09:44.140,0:09:47.320 leave you alone 0:09:45.400,0:09:49.360 because this is information that you 0:09:47.320,0:09:50.890 have not heard before I'm not gonna be 0:09:49.360,0:09:52.330 giving you information about you know 0:09:50.890,0:09:54.250 you're the magical supplement that you 0:09:52.330,0:09:56.320 need to take for life or the natural 0:09:54.250,0:09:59.680 dietary cure this is real life 0:09:56.320,0:10:02.770 information about real people that I see 0:09:59.680,0:10:05.650 every single day and you will be 0:10:02.770,0:10:07.630 fascinated as to these different people 0:10:05.650,0:10:11.800 that are dealing with Lyme that all look 0:10:07.630,0:10:14.110 so freakin different and all so that 0:10:11.800,0:10:17.050 means that their treatment protocols all 0:10:14.110,0:10:19.870 look extremely extremely different it's 0:10:17.050,0:10:22.450 about you and your body it is not about 0:10:19.870,0:10:26.440 the cookie cutter protocol it'll love 0:10:22.450,0:10:28.510 all the air quotes I'm doing today but 0:10:26.440,0:10:30.790 first and foremost is I really want you 0:10:28.510,0:10:33.430 guys to understand that and you've been 0:10:30.790,0:10:36.550 on this journey for a long time when it 0:10:33.430,0:10:37.930 comes to the line it is not your fault 0:10:36.550,0:10:39.550 that you haven't been able to find the 0:10:37.930,0:10:41.890 right doctor it is not your fault that 0:10:39.550,0:10:43.120 you haven't been able to get better and 0:10:41.890,0:10:45.190 it's not your fault that you haven't 0:10:43.120,0:10:46.870 figured out what diet is best for you it 0:10:45.190,0:10:48.880 is not your fault that the antibiotics 0:10:46.870,0:10:51.010 didn't work it is not your fault that 0:10:48.880,0:10:52.600 the functional medicine doctor didn't 0:10:51.010,0:10:56.440 give you the master supplement protocol 0:10:52.600,0:10:58.060 it's not your fault because there is so 0:10:56.440,0:11:00.190 much information there is so much 0:10:58.060,0:11:02.050 conflicting information there is so much 0:11:00.190,0:11:04.150 overwhelming information that is out 0:11:02.050,0:11:07.360 there and it is really really difficult 0:11:04.150,0:11:08.830 for you to know what you need and it's 0:11:07.360,0:11:10.720 really difficult to know those things if 0:11:08.830,0:11:12.700 you have not had the right testing and 0:11:10.720,0:11:15.190 if you have not been asked better 0:11:12.700,0:11:18.100 questions because at the end of the day 0:11:15.190,0:11:20.490 well your body needs is going to be 0:11:18.100,0:11:23.560 different than someone else who has why 0:11:20.490,0:11:26.980 so as we talk more tonight you're gonna 0:11:23.560,0:11:28.570 understand more about this but a 0:11:26.980,0:11:30.280 foundational thing that I think is 0:11:28.570,0:11:33.520 really really important to understand 0:11:30.280,0:11:35.080 about why you may not have been able to 0:11:33.520,0:11:38.500 achieve all of your health goals just 0:11:35.080,0:11:40.810 yet is that we're talking about medicine 0:11:38.500,0:11:42.910 I think what we realize is most of us 0:11:40.810,0:11:44.920 are seeking out the expert so when you 0:11:42.910,0:11:49.210 have line you're usually seeking out the 0:11:44.920,0:11:51.790 line expert and my personal opinion is 0:11:49.210,0:11:54.070 that seeking out the expert or always 0:11:51.790,0:11:57.340 working with specialists is actually 0:11:54.070,0:11:58.899 what has put a huge wrench and how 0:11:57.340,0:12:01.300 healthcare is being done 0:11:58.899,0:12:03.519 and what I mean by that is when we're 0:12:01.300,0:12:05.649 talking just about the very beginning 0:12:03.519,0:12:06.339 stages of having all of these different 0:12:05.649,0:12:08.589 symptoms 0:12:06.339,0:12:12.160 everything from fatigue to the joint 0:12:08.589,0:12:14.230 pain to inflammation gut problems you're 0:12:12.160,0:12:16.660 going to a gastroenterologist you're 0:12:14.230,0:12:18.100 going to a Rheumatologist you know you 0:12:16.660,0:12:21.179 might even be going to a psychiatrist 0:12:18.100,0:12:24.040 because you're also having anxiety but 0:12:21.179,0:12:25.959 very very low on the totem pole is when 0:12:24.040,0:12:28.329 you're actually going to go to an 0:12:25.959,0:12:30.009 infectious-disease doctor because the 0:12:28.329,0:12:32.139 only time we really go to an infectious 0:12:30.009,0:12:34.420 disease doctor is if we have a chronic 0:12:32.139,0:12:36.879 infection that keeps coming back that 0:12:34.420,0:12:39.069 nobody knows what's going on or we have 0:12:36.879,0:12:41.679 chronic diarrhea that nobody knows 0:12:39.069,0:12:44.399 what's going on so when we talk about 0:12:41.679,0:12:44.399 infectious 0:12:46.030,0:12:51.430 dr. which usually leaves out the 0:12:49.330,0:12:54.760 opportunity to understand is an 0:12:51.430,0:12:56.050 infection or is a toxicity causing the 0:12:54.760,0:12:58.960 majority of the symptoms that we're 0:12:56.050,0:13:00.970 dealing with so the separating out of 0:12:58.960,0:13:02.620 our systems and thinking that every 0:13:00.970,0:13:05.680 single organ system is operating 0:13:02.620,0:13:07.750 separately is actually pretty silly and 0:13:05.680,0:13:12.670 that kind of brings me to the second 0:13:07.750,0:13:14.590 point is basic physiology so 90 to 95 0:13:12.670,0:13:16.630 percent of your serotonin is made in 0:13:14.590,0:13:18.280 your gut so if you're dealing with a 0:13:16.630,0:13:21.250 depression problem but then you're also 0:13:18.280,0:13:23.440 dealing with a you're dealing with 0:13:21.250,0:13:25.690 irritable bowel syndrome and we're maybe 0:13:23.440,0:13:28.600 treating the depression with an 0:13:25.690,0:13:31.060 antidepressant but your IBS is not bad 0:13:28.600,0:13:32.920 enough to be treated it's just like oh 0:13:31.060,0:13:35.770 you know just be careful with your diet 0:13:32.920,0:13:38.980 don't eat too much then we could easily 0:13:35.770,0:13:41.350 be treating the wrong symptom because 0:13:38.980,0:13:44.890 it's really a symptom and the root is 0:13:41.350,0:13:47.230 what's going on in the gut so physiology 0:13:44.890,0:13:48.490 pretty much shows us that everything is 0:13:47.230,0:13:51.280 connected and everything is constantly 0:13:48.490,0:13:54.430 in communication with each other so why 0:13:51.280,0:13:56.680 did we decide to separate out all of the 0:13:54.430,0:13:58.860 organ systems and have specialists in 0:13:56.680,0:14:00.790 the organ systems and none of these 0:13:58.860,0:14:03.130 specialists actually communicate with 0:14:00.790,0:14:04.690 each other so really at the end of the 0:14:03.130,0:14:08.080 day this is one of the biggest reasons 0:14:04.690,0:14:11.620 why we cannot find the root cause as to 0:14:08.080,0:14:14.020 what is going on with our system so 0:14:11.620,0:14:17.680 here's where it gets good so when we are 0:14:14.020,0:14:21.130 talking about Lyme so first of all one 0:14:17.680,0:14:23.530 of the most advanced type of infections 0:14:21.130,0:14:26.500 that has been known for a very long time 0:14:23.530,0:14:28.660 is actually classified as syphilis so 0:14:26.500,0:14:30.070 syphilis is pretty interesting because 0:14:28.660,0:14:31.600 everybody thinks it's actually 0:14:30.070,0:14:34.630 transmitted by the way it's not just 0:14:31.600,0:14:36.520 sexually transmitted but when they 0:14:34.630,0:14:40.300 originally discovered syphilis they 0:14:36.520,0:14:44.280 found that this specific organism had 23 0:14:40.300,0:14:47.080 genes so 23 genes as a microorganism 0:14:44.280,0:14:51.020 means that this is an organism that is 0:14:47.080,0:14:54.860 actually very evolved it's very advanced 0:14:51.020,0:14:58.580 so then they discovered lime and lime 0:14:54.860,0:15:02.930 was actually found to have 32 genes so 0:14:58.580,0:15:05.240 this is Oh nine more genes then line so 0:15:02.930,0:15:07.310 really what this means is that these are 0:15:05.240,0:15:09.649 organisms that are both in the 0:15:07.310,0:15:13.279 spirochete family by the way 0:15:09.649,0:15:16.570 that are extremely evolved they actually 0:15:13.279,0:15:19.010 know how to move through your body 0:15:16.570,0:15:21.380 figure out where there's vulnerable 0:15:19.010,0:15:25.430 tissue and then make that vulnerable 0:15:21.380,0:15:28.040 tissue its new home secondary to that it 0:15:25.430,0:15:30.920 is always putting itself in an opportune 0:15:28.040,0:15:34.490 environment to make its way to the next 0:15:30.920,0:15:37.970 life cycle so hold on to your seats so 0:15:34.490,0:15:39.830 when we're talking about men that deal 0:15:37.970,0:15:43.279 with prostate issues this could be 0:15:39.830,0:15:45.290 anything from prostatitis benign 0:15:43.279,0:15:48.050 prostatic hypertrophy which is 0:15:45.290,0:15:50.779 enlargement of the prostate or even up 0:15:48.050,0:15:54.170 to prostate cancer one of my personal 0:15:50.779,0:15:58.160 mentors said that every prostate case is 0:15:54.170,0:15:59.870 associated with Lyme bacteria and I was 0:15:58.160,0:16:01.339 kind of confused when he said this and I 0:15:59.870,0:16:04.360 was like is that even possible 0:16:01.339,0:16:08.000 and then he continued to discuss how 0:16:04.360,0:16:10.370 Lyme as such an evolved organism will 0:16:08.000,0:16:13.490 put itself into the prostate because 0:16:10.370,0:16:16.610 then when there is sexual arousal the 0:16:13.490,0:16:19.399 line will move down the ejaculatory dock 0:16:16.610,0:16:23.180 in order to put itself in the opportun 0:16:19.399,0:16:27.500 environment to infect the next host AKA 0:16:23.180,0:16:32.260 infect the woman so I'm kind of like 0:16:27.500,0:16:32.260 holy crap that can't even be true and 0:16:34.770,0:16:39.870 they came to me with different types of 0:16:37.080,0:16:42.779 prostate issues that information was a 0:16:39.870,0:16:45.540 hundred percent correct so the point of 0:16:42.779,0:16:48.270 me telling you this is that when we're 0:16:45.540,0:16:52.020 talking about lime lime is a very 0:16:48.270,0:16:54.540 interesting advanced organism that makes 0:16:52.020,0:16:57.120 its way into the body it burrows itself 0:16:54.540,0:16:59.610 and it hides which is why it is so 0:16:57.120,0:17:01.620 difficult to find it in the blood 0:16:59.610,0:17:05.339 because it usually doesn't live in the 0:17:01.620,0:17:06.959 blood it lives in connective tissue in 0:17:05.339,0:17:09.329 addition to that they've actually even 0:17:06.959,0:17:12.689 found different species of line that 0:17:09.329,0:17:14.760 have up to 800 genes so the thing you 0:17:12.689,0:17:18.600 have to know about this is nothing in 0:17:14.760,0:17:21.329 nature has 800 genes so they speculate 0:17:18.600,0:17:24.179 that there has been manipulation to some 0:17:21.329,0:17:25.770 of these line bacterias that potentially 0:17:24.179,0:17:28.830 we're supposed to be used for germ 0:17:25.770,0:17:31.710 warfare so they don't really know but 0:17:28.830,0:17:35.160 that is a speculation but in addition to 0:17:31.710,0:17:37.679 that regardless of this more advanced 0:17:35.160,0:17:38.820 line with the 800 genes or the lime with 0:17:37.679,0:17:41.790 the 32 genes 0:17:38.820,0:17:44.100 it actually has been known to survive 0:17:41.790,0:17:45.990 against hydrochloric acid which is the 0:17:44.100,0:17:48.300 primary acid in your gut that is 0:17:45.990,0:17:52.980 supposed to protect you but in addition 0:17:48.300,0:17:55.500 to that it also can subside past 600 0:17:52.980,0:18:00.630 degrees Fahrenheit so guys think about 0:17:55.500,0:18:02.910 this venison deer meat where is lime 0:18:00.630,0:18:07.080 always being talked about coming from 0:18:02.910,0:18:10.160 deer ticks so if a deer tick carries 0:18:07.080,0:18:13.830 lime doesn't it make sense that a deer 0:18:10.160,0:18:16.980 would have lime in its tissues and then 0:18:13.830,0:18:19.290 you cook the deer meat and you know 0:18:16.980,0:18:22.920 maybe on a grill you're getting past 600 0:18:19.290,0:18:26.809 degrees Fahrenheit but chances are you 0:18:22.920,0:18:30.450 can easily be exposed to lime by the 0:18:26.809,0:18:34.370 consumption of venison so for all of 0:18:30.450,0:18:36.510 your hunters out there be cautious so 0:18:34.370,0:18:38.580 one of the things that I mentioned last 0:18:36.510,0:18:42.179 week that I wanted to talk more about in 0:18:38.580,0:18:44.160 this specific episode is I want it to 0:18:42.179,0:18:46.950 explore more of this 0:18:44.160,0:18:48.510 idea of something called retroviruses so 0:18:46.950,0:18:50.100 for those of you that are listening or 0:18:48.510,0:18:52.860 for those of you that are listening on 0:18:50.100,0:18:55.050 behalf of someone else because you know 0:18:52.860,0:18:59.840 someone with line that has not been able 0:18:55.050,0:19:02.370 to get better despite their efforts so 0:18:59.840,0:19:04.680 what I want you to understand about this 0:19:02.370,0:19:08.040 is sometimes they haven't had the right 0:19:04.680,0:19:11.730 approach and then sometimes this is due 0:19:08.040,0:19:15.410 to something called retroviruses so with 0:19:11.730,0:19:15.410 retroviruses I'm going to drink what 0:19:17.180,0:19:21.380 so with these retroviruses the thing 0:19:19.880,0:19:25.970 that you have to understand about it is 0:19:21.380,0:19:29.200 that retroviruses are immuno suppressive 0:19:25.970,0:19:33.260 viruses so one of the most well known 0:19:29.200,0:19:37.640 retroviruses is HIV not all retroviruses 0:19:33.260,0:19:40.600 are HIV but a type of retrovirus is HIV 0:19:37.640,0:19:43.640 so HIV as we all know is extremely 0:19:40.600,0:19:47.930 immunosuppressive to the point that it 0:19:43.640,0:19:51.410 is potentially fatal so retroviruses 0:19:47.930,0:19:55.160 have been part of our DNA for thousands 0:19:51.410,0:19:57.500 of years so the thing about this is you 0:19:55.160,0:20:01.130 may be thinking well why would I have a 0:19:57.500,0:20:04.760 retrovirus in my DNA that is only 0:20:01.130,0:20:05.929 harmful to my immune system because that 0:20:04.760,0:20:08.059 is definitely what I thought when I 0:20:05.929,0:20:11.390 learned about this but the thing about 0:20:08.059,0:20:15.830 it is that these retroviruses only 0:20:11.390,0:20:19.190 activate in the most opportune times hmm 0:20:15.830,0:20:22.309 so as an example for females when you 0:20:19.190,0:20:24.679 get pregnant your embryo your baby is 0:20:22.309,0:20:28.460 going to have your DNA as well as your 0:20:24.679,0:20:31.100 spouse's DNA so that DNA coming together 0:20:28.460,0:20:34.160 it would make sense that your body would 0:20:31.100,0:20:37.850 think that that is a foreign object or 0:20:34.160,0:20:40.610 foreign invader so your immune system 0:20:37.850,0:20:45.050 would be inclined to attack a foreign 0:20:40.610,0:20:48.140 invader but there is a retrovirus that 0:20:45.050,0:20:51.710 activates in the placenta that shuts 0:20:48.140,0:20:54.500 down any possibility for an immune 0:20:51.710,0:20:57.200 reaction against the embryo pretty 0:20:54.500,0:20:58.670 freaking cool right so the thing that 0:20:57.200,0:21:00.950 you have to understand about these 0:20:58.670,0:21:03.770 retroviruses is yes they are part of our 0:21:00.950,0:21:07.520 DNA but they only activate when they 0:21:03.770,0:21:11.270 need to in the case of observing a 0:21:07.520,0:21:14.150 beneficial purpose to the body but what 0:21:11.270,0:21:16.670 they're finding is that due to all of 0:21:14.150,0:21:19.400 the toxicity and all of these different 0:21:16.670,0:21:21.170 chemicals were being exposed to and all 0:21:19.400,0:21:24.020 of these different stressors were 0:21:21.170,0:21:26.690 dealing with on a day-to-day that we are 0:21:24.020,0:21:31.190 actually starting to have these 0:21:26.690,0:21:33.350 retroviruses activate without necessary 0:21:31.190,0:21:37.010 having a purpose to reactivate or 0:21:33.350,0:21:39.500 activate so what this means for you is 0:21:37.010,0:21:44.000 if you are someone who is dealing with 0:21:39.500,0:21:46.250 some type of infection like Lyme and you 0:21:44.000,0:21:48.140 cannot recover there is a strong 0:21:46.250,0:21:50.840 possibility that you might be dealing 0:21:48.140,0:21:53.690 with some type of immunosuppression that 0:21:50.840,0:21:55.100 is not allowing you to heal and one of 0:21:53.690,0:21:58.000 the most common things you can see in 0:21:55.100,0:22:00.860 your blood work is it extremely elevated 0:21:58.000,0:22:02.570 tgf-beta one so for those of you that 0:22:00.860,0:22:03.980 have been in this world for a long time 0:22:02.570,0:22:05.900 trying to figure out what the heck is 0:22:03.980,0:22:08.720 going on with you you may have had this 0:22:05.900,0:22:10.940 test run because one of the reasons why 0:22:08.720,0:22:13.820 I personally used to run the tgf-beta 0:22:10.940,0:22:17.540 one is it was associated with mold 0:22:13.820,0:22:19.370 toxicity and the longer I practice I 0:22:17.540,0:22:22.760 realize that it's not just about mold 0:22:19.370,0:22:26.240 the tgf-beta one is really just an over 0:22:22.760,0:22:29.870 activation of the immune system which is 0:22:26.240,0:22:31.250 causing cell death so the thing that I 0:22:29.870,0:22:33.530 want you to understand about this is 0:22:31.250,0:22:37.010 that if you have been told you have mold 0:22:33.530,0:22:39.200 toxicity because of this number that is 0:22:37.010,0:22:40.640 not always accurate this number can mean 0:22:39.200,0:22:43.670 a lot of different things and one of 0:22:40.640,0:22:46.100 those things is retroviral so the other 0:22:43.670,0:22:48.380 thing too is that you might be having a 0:22:46.100,0:22:50.720 major major major sensitivity to 0:22:48.380,0:22:53.120 caffeine which is classified as a pure 0:22:50.720,0:22:56.270 energic food if you are having a major 0:22:53.120,0:22:57.530 sensitivity to coffee or caffeine this 0:22:56.270,0:23:00.950 might be another sign that you're 0:22:57.530,0:23:04.040 dealing with this retrovirus so what's 0:23:00.950,0:23:06.320 very interesting too is that people that 0:23:04.040,0:23:08.960 I've worked with that have had retro 0:23:06.320,0:23:12.800 viral infections have ended up coming 0:23:08.960,0:23:14.720 through my doors on immunosuppressant 0:23:12.800,0:23:19.130 drugs because they've been diagnosed 0:23:14.720,0:23:21.770 with lupus or scleroderma etc so I want 0:23:19.130,0:23:24.080 you to know that when you're on an 0:23:21.770,0:23:27.700 immunosuppressive drug it shuts down 0:23:24.080,0:23:27.700 your immune response 0:23:29.300,0:23:33.410 pathways so if you have less 0:23:31.820,0:23:35.750 inflammation in your body then that 0:23:33.410,0:23:38.390 means you're gonna feel better it 0:23:35.750,0:23:40.610 doesn't necessarily mean that you have 0:23:38.390,0:23:42.140 an overactive immune system it just 0:23:40.610,0:23:45.410 means you have a boatload of 0:23:42.140,0:23:47.180 inflammation so don't be fooled by 0:23:45.410,0:23:49.850 saying there's no possible way that I 0:23:47.180,0:23:51.860 have a retroviral infection because I'm 0:23:49.850,0:23:54.830 on an immunosuppressant and it makes me 0:23:51.860,0:23:57.770 feel better you can easily be fooled by 0:23:54.830,0:24:00.770 that because most people that are 0:23:57.770,0:24:02.000 dealing with enough inflammation that 0:24:00.770,0:24:04.010 they are benefiting from an 0:24:02.000,0:24:05.930 immunosuppressive drug most of those 0:24:04.010,0:24:11.090 people are immunosuppressed to begin 0:24:05.930,0:24:12.620 with so talking about neurological Lyme 0:24:11.090,0:24:15.380 this was a really really interesting 0:24:12.620,0:24:17.090 scenario that came through my door so 0:24:15.380,0:24:19.070 first of all the patient did not know 0:24:17.090,0:24:21.560 that they had Lyme what they did know is 0:24:19.070,0:24:25.490 they had massive sinus sinus issues most 0:24:21.560,0:24:26.660 of their lives so when she came in one 0:24:25.490,0:24:28.850 of the technologies that I used 0:24:26.660,0:24:31.610 initially in her initial exam was called 0:24:28.850,0:24:33.410 the bio resonance so as I was running 0:24:31.610,0:24:36.020 the bioresonance she was having a tunnel 0:24:33.410,0:24:39.500 ton of things coming up dental wise and 0:24:36.020,0:24:40.850 as I got into looking at it further she 0:24:39.500,0:24:46.640 was coming up with something called 0:24:40.850,0:24:47.690 periosteum in the top of her jawbone so 0:24:46.640,0:24:49.910 the thing that you guys want to 0:24:47.690,0:24:52.610 understand about dental and how this all 0:24:49.910,0:24:54.800 plays a role is first of all there are 0:24:52.610,0:24:56.450 holistic dentists out there that will 0:24:54.800,0:24:59.240 swab your gums and put it under a 0:24:56.450,0:25:02.720 microscope and show you spirochete 0:24:59.240,0:25:04.100 infections so number two is that if you 0:25:02.720,0:25:06.470 have ever had a tooth pulled 0:25:04.100,0:25:09.860 including your wisdom teeth if it was 0:25:06.470,0:25:13.580 not pulled properly you could Eve easily 0:25:09.860,0:25:17.750 pool bacteria in where that tooth was 0:25:13.580,0:25:19.910 was once so this particular person had 0:25:17.750,0:25:23.150 her wisdom teeth removed many many years 0:25:19.910,0:25:25.040 ago had sinus issues um kind of always 0:25:23.150,0:25:27.710 attributed to just bacterial took 0:25:25.040,0:25:29.210 antibiotics helped a little bit but she 0:25:27.710,0:25:32.810 was on antibiotics probably every two 0:25:29.210,0:25:34.490 months or so so with the findings it was 0:25:32.810,0:25:37.420 coming up as Perry aa state as Perry 0:25:34.490,0:25:38.980 outside this is usually a spirochete 0:25:37.420,0:25:42.490 infection 0:25:38.980,0:25:45.340 so we ran her bloodwork and it turned 0:25:42.490,0:25:49.570 out that she ended up having active Lyme 0:25:45.340,0:25:53.620 disease in addition to having autoimmune 0:25:49.570,0:25:55.210 markers in the brain so the thing that I 0:25:53.620,0:25:59.919 want you to understand about this is 0:25:55.210,0:26:02.470 that the Lyme can start in your teeth it 0:25:59.919,0:26:04.450 can start in your gums work its way into 0:26:02.470,0:26:07.539 the jaw which can then get into the 0:26:04.450,0:26:10.210 sinuses which can then move through the 0:26:07.539,0:26:13.149 vascular system into the brain which 0:26:10.210,0:26:16.960 will not necessarily always come up on 0:26:13.149,0:26:19.000 even a spinal tap or an MRI but what I 0:26:16.960,0:26:20.679 did find was that she was having various 0:26:19.000,0:26:22.000 autoimmune markers that were not 0:26:20.679,0:26:24.549 allowing her to produce certain 0:26:22.000,0:26:27.340 neurotransmitters one of them being gaba 0:26:24.549,0:26:31.630 gaba is what calms you down and prevents 0:26:27.340,0:26:33.399 anxiety so this was a person that had 0:26:31.630,0:26:38.370 these spirochetes get into her 0:26:33.399,0:26:38.370 neurological system but she was a fully 0:26:39.930,0:26:45.240 going to work every day taking care of a 0:26:42.360,0:26:49.860 family but just had terrible terrible 0:26:45.240,0:26:52.320 sinus issues and headaches so this is 0:26:49.860,0:26:56.280 something that you need to understand is 0:26:52.320,0:26:59.610 that this just left untouched can easily 0:26:56.280,0:27:02.040 progress into a bigger problem down the 0:26:59.610,0:27:03.990 line so if you're already dealing with 0:27:02.040,0:27:06.680 memory loss so if you're dealing with 0:27:03.990,0:27:09.600 massive brain fog if you're dealing with 0:27:06.680,0:27:12.570 really bad depression bipolar different 0:27:09.600,0:27:14.160 types of mood disorders it's time to get 0:27:12.570,0:27:15.929 your brain looked at it's time to get 0:27:14.160,0:27:18.150 your teeth looked at it's time to get 0:27:15.929,0:27:20.370 your lymph nodes looked at it's time to 0:27:18.150,0:27:22.080 get your vascular system looked at 0:27:20.370,0:27:23.970 because all of these things are 0:27:22.080,0:27:28.350 important for how well your brain is 0:27:23.970,0:27:31.710 working so some of the big things about 0:27:28.350,0:27:34.230 lying that is not well understood that 0:27:31.710,0:27:37.050 are complete myths is that first of all 0:27:34.230,0:27:38.370 I'm only comes from a tick which is not 0:27:37.050,0:27:41.910 the case we're going to talk more about 0:27:38.370,0:27:45.630 it then a blood test is good enough to 0:27:41.910,0:27:48.600 diagnose Lyme another myth is that Lyme 0:27:45.630,0:27:52.160 is the only part of the puzzle how many 0:27:48.600,0:27:54.929 people are sick for so long and finally 0:27:52.160,0:27:56.640 someone's like oh you have Lyme and then 0:27:54.929,0:27:59.070 they just are now defined as a Lyme 0:27:56.640,0:28:00.929 patient but nobody's looking at is there 0:27:59.070,0:28:03.450 moles is there parasites is there 0:28:00.929,0:28:04.860 neurological issues you know is there is 0:28:03.450,0:28:08.670 there inflammation is there anything 0:28:04.860,0:28:12.210 else the other thing too is emotions 0:28:08.670,0:28:14.520 that emotions have nothing to do with 0:28:12.210,0:28:17.100 the onset of line I will tell you right 0:28:14.520,0:28:19.980 now most people that I work with have 0:28:17.100,0:28:23.280 had Lyme in their system for a long time 0:28:19.980,0:28:23.850 and it took one catalyst to bring it to 0:28:23.280,0:28:26.880 the surface 0:28:23.850,0:28:29.370 and a lot of times that catalyst is a 0:28:26.880,0:28:33.380 loss of a loved one that catalyst is a 0:28:29.370,0:28:38.100 divorce that catalyst is some type of 0:28:33.380,0:28:41.790 PTSD so emotions play a significant role 0:28:38.100,0:28:44.820 in not just the onset but also the 0:28:41.790,0:28:48.030 persistence of why a person is not 0:28:44.820,0:28:50.250 getting better also probably the biggest 0:28:48.030,0:28:51.880 myth of them all is that it's just about 0:28:50.250,0:28:53.620 killing your lime and the 0:28:51.880,0:28:55.840 antibiotics are the most effective way 0:28:53.620,0:28:57.400 to do that so that is going to be a big 0:28:55.840,0:28:59.919 part of understanding this and 0:28:57.400,0:29:01.059 especially a neurological line if you 0:28:59.919,0:29:02.740 think that you're gonna just take an 0:29:01.059,0:29:04.840 antibiotic with neurological line and 0:29:02.740,0:29:07.600 it's gonna cure you that it is not gonna 0:29:04.840,0:29:09.130 happen because your antibiotic most of 0:29:07.600,0:29:11.250 them are can even get into the blood get 0:29:09.130,0:29:14.230 through the blood-brain barrier anyway 0:29:11.250,0:29:17.049 so first and foremost how do you get 0:29:14.230,0:29:20.470 lying this is the question of the day 0:29:17.049,0:29:22.539 every day in my practice so I am sorry 0:29:20.470,0:29:24.730 to do this to all of you this is not my 0:29:22.539,0:29:26.890 intention for you to live in fear but it 0:29:24.730,0:29:30.280 is important for you to understand that 0:29:26.890,0:29:32.169 it is not just about ticks so if you 0:29:30.280,0:29:35.669 live in a city or you don't go into the 0:29:32.169,0:29:38.020 woods or you don't like deer or whatever 0:29:35.669,0:29:40.150 you still can get exposed 0:29:38.020,0:29:41.020 I had Lyme in my system I grew up in 0:29:40.150,0:29:42.940 Newark New Jersey 0:29:41.020,0:29:45.039 like I grew up in a concrete jungle I 0:29:42.940,0:29:47.140 did not go into the woods I did not play 0:29:45.039,0:29:50.470 with deer I do not have dogs I didn't 0:29:47.140,0:29:52.600 have any of that so when it comes to 0:29:50.470,0:29:55.419 Lyme it could be you could have exposure 0:29:52.600,0:29:57.580 through any vector any vector is a 0:29:55.419,0:29:59.440 biting insect that could be a flea a 0:29:57.580,0:30:01.950 mosquito it give you life 0:29:59.440,0:30:05.200 it could be spiders and ticks of course 0:30:01.950,0:30:10.150 in addition to that can also be passed 0:30:05.200,0:30:13.419 from mom to baby in the womb or through 0:30:10.150,0:30:16.059 breastfeeding in addition to that eating 0:30:13.419,0:30:17.799 venison your good old deer meat again 0:30:16.059,0:30:22.179 for those of you that are just joining 0:30:17.799,0:30:25.059 now if a deer tick causes Lyme wouldn't 0:30:22.179,0:30:28.450 it make sense that a deer has the Lyme 0:30:25.059,0:30:31.900 in them and we are going and eating it 0:30:28.450,0:30:34.630 so that is another exposure the other 0:30:31.900,0:30:35.770 thing too is sexual transmission for 0:30:34.630,0:30:37.330 those of you that have been listening 0:30:35.770,0:30:40.450 the whole time I talked about the 0:30:37.330,0:30:44.110 prostate and then inflamed prostate 0:30:40.450,0:30:46.480 sometimes is associated with Lyme being 0:30:44.110,0:30:49.600 in the prostate that moves along the 0:30:46.480,0:30:52.570 ejaculatory duct in the event that there 0:30:49.600,0:30:55.840 is intercourse and it does that in order 0:30:52.570,0:30:58.780 to infect the woman and then last but 0:30:55.840,0:31:02.110 not least probably the most mind-blowing 0:30:58.780,0:31:04.710 is going to be that a bullseye rash is 0:31:02.110,0:31:08.309 your second infection 0:31:04.710,0:31:11.460 so for those of you that got bit got the 0:31:08.309,0:31:13.230 rash and you suspect that that was the 0:31:11.460,0:31:14.850 first time that it ever happened that is 0:31:13.230,0:31:18.119 your second infection with a slightly 0:31:14.850,0:31:21.869 different strain so lime is way more 0:31:18.119,0:31:24.840 common than most people realize but I 0:31:21.869,0:31:26.999 will tell you this you can have lime in 0:31:24.840,0:31:30.779 your system and it could easily not be 0:31:26.999,0:31:35.629 active but it takes compounding factors 0:31:30.779,0:31:39.419 for it to become active and problematic 0:31:35.629,0:31:42.570 so we had a patient she had an onset of 0:31:39.419,0:31:46.129 seizures at 16 year old years old that 0:31:42.570,0:31:49.830 was a spelling error but 16 years old so 0:31:46.129,0:31:51.779 this patient um she went to her prom she 0:31:49.830,0:31:55.289 did like every other high school kid 0:31:51.779,0:31:58.769 does and she went out and party um she 0:31:55.289,0:32:01.320 was not a partier but she went and she 0:31:58.769,0:32:04.559 had drinks and then there was a big 0:32:01.320,0:32:07.639 sleepover and in the morning she had her 0:32:04.559,0:32:07.639 first seizure 0:32:10.480,0:32:15.460 did a variety of different tasks blood 0:32:12.999,0:32:17.919 tests etc everything came back normal 0:32:15.460,0:32:20.519 continued to see a neurologist and 0:32:17.919,0:32:24.429 everything continued to come up normal 0:32:20.519,0:32:29.080 so it wasn't honestly until years later 0:32:24.429,0:32:32.980 that the puzzle was put together and the 0:32:29.080,0:32:36.549 puzzle was essentially that this person 0:32:32.980,0:32:38.019 had Lyme in their system they were born 0:32:36.549,0:32:40.149 with it because it turned out we were 0:32:38.019,0:32:43.149 treating the mom as well and not the mom 0:32:40.149,0:32:45.639 had it in her system as well so it was 0:32:43.149,0:32:48.519 in the system not necessarily creating 0:32:45.639,0:32:53.139 many issues the other piece of this 0:32:48.519,0:32:57.429 puzzle is pancreas this is a child who 0:32:53.139,0:33:00.489 had massive hypoglycemia issues very low 0:32:57.429,0:33:03.700 blood sugar go figure this child also 0:33:00.489,0:33:07.779 loved sugar grow up on tons of cereal 0:33:03.700,0:33:12.850 cakes pastries cannolis Italian family 0:33:07.779,0:33:16.739 pasta all of that so overall blood sugar 0:33:12.850,0:33:19.840 stability please an extremely extremely 0:33:16.739,0:33:23.830 important role in the neurological 0:33:19.840,0:33:26.649 system so how this pieces together is 0:33:23.830,0:33:28.450 that this person had unstable blood 0:33:26.649,0:33:31.720 sugar which was creating stress on the 0:33:28.450,0:33:34.659 neurological system then there was Lyme 0:33:31.720,0:33:41.169 kind of brewing in the background then 0:33:34.659,0:33:43.989 it was 15 years old started the HPV 0:33:41.169,0:33:47.350 vaccine ah all three rounds were done 0:33:43.989,0:33:50.470 the last round was done one week prior 0:33:47.350,0:33:52.239 to the first seizure listen I'm not 0:33:50.470,0:33:53.859 sitting here saying that the seizure 0:33:52.239,0:33:55.509 caught early seizure was caused by the 0:33:53.859,0:33:58.090 vaccine the point of me telling you this 0:33:55.509,0:33:59.379 is that the vaccine for this specific 0:33:58.090,0:34:02.019 person was the straw that broke the 0:33:59.379,0:34:04.840 camel's back there whatever was going on 0:34:02.019,0:34:07.440 in that kid's body at that time the 0:34:04.840,0:34:11.559 immune system couldn't handle the the 0:34:07.440,0:34:14.290 vaccine so what happened was this 0:34:11.559,0:34:17.470 activated the Lyme it ended up in the 0:34:14.290,0:34:21.909 neurological system a night of drinking 0:34:17.470,0:34:24.010 and eating crap was a complete spike and 0:34:21.909,0:34:26.649 - of the blood sugar the blood sugar was 0:34:24.010,0:34:29.950 so low in the morning that the brain 0:34:26.649,0:34:33.849 went haywire and caused a seizure so 0:34:29.950,0:34:36.339 this was my sister and this was 0:34:33.849,0:34:38.109 something that we were just had to deal 0:34:36.339,0:34:40.750 with for a really long time I'm gonna 0:34:38.109,0:34:42.639 get upset because we didn't know what 0:34:40.750,0:34:44.889 was wrong with her and I'm very 0:34:42.639,0:34:47.169 fortunate for what I do because we were 0:34:44.889,0:34:49.419 able to piece the puzzle together later 0:34:47.169,0:34:52.210 down the line and you know she's been 0:34:49.419,0:34:54.309 seizure-free for over two years now so 0:34:52.210,0:34:55.869 this is just something that I know a lot 0:34:54.309,0:34:58.299 of people are dealing with and have no 0:34:55.869,0:34:59.500 answers and watching a seizure is 0:34:58.299,0:35:02.500 probably one of the most horrific things 0:34:59.500,0:35:04.900 that I've ever seen and we've worked 0:35:02.500,0:35:07.869 with many many kids that have had 0:35:04.900,0:35:10.329 seizures moving forward and it is 0:35:07.869,0:35:13.690 amazing to see these kids transform and 0:35:10.329,0:35:16.809 it is amazing to get see them get their 0:35:13.690,0:35:18.460 lives back so I want you guys to you 0:35:16.809,0:35:20.859 know that you're here and listening is 0:35:18.460,0:35:23.260 that seizures don't happen for no reason 0:35:20.859,0:35:24.069 they happen for a variety of different 0:35:23.260,0:35:26.380 reasons 0:35:24.069,0:35:29.770 it was just specifically for this person 0:35:26.380,0:35:32.020 it was lime brewing in the background 0:35:29.770,0:35:34.299 for most of her life and it just took a 0:35:32.020,0:35:38.079 sequence of events that allowed this to 0:35:34.299,0:35:39.880 become a bigger problem so it's very 0:35:38.079,0:35:45.190 very important to know that there's 0:35:39.880,0:35:48.369 always always always a root cause so 0:35:45.190,0:35:50.559 myth number two is you've had the best 0:35:48.369,0:35:52.240 testing for your neurological system and 0:35:50.559,0:35:55.779 you'd have the best testing for your 0:35:52.240,0:35:57.849 line so number one is that one of the 0:35:55.779,0:36:01.299 things that was never necessarily 0:35:57.849,0:36:03.339 evaluated for my sister was nobody 0:36:01.299,0:36:06.039 checked her for infections nobody 0:36:03.339,0:36:08.470 checked her blood sugar nobody looked at 0:36:06.039,0:36:09.099 her pancreas nobody looked at autoimmune 0:36:08.470,0:36:10.390 markers 0:36:09.099,0:36:12.400 nobody looked to see if she had a gluten 0:36:10.390,0:36:15.430 sensitivity nobody looked at any of 0:36:12.400,0:36:18.390 those things they were doing EEG ze g ze 0:36:15.430,0:36:22.000 G's they were doing overnight EEG 's and 0:36:18.390,0:36:25.450 honestly there are QTE G's that exist 0:36:22.000,0:36:28.660 quantitative EEG s these are IEDs that 0:36:25.450,0:36:30.640 map every lobe hemisphere of the brain 0:36:28.660,0:36:32.720 they tell you the brain waves they tell 0:36:30.640,0:36:34.310 you what's overactive what's under act 0:36:32.720,0:36:36.170 what's communicating with each other 0:36:34.310,0:36:39.980 what's not communicating with each other 0:36:36.170,0:36:40.730 and we're still using the Stone Age EEE 0:36:39.980,0:36:43.970 jeez 0:36:40.730,0:36:46.010 EEE jeez are like abnormal or normal 0:36:43.970,0:36:48.920 there's no one between there's no 0:36:46.010,0:36:50.810 specificity there's no this lobe is 0:36:48.920,0:36:53.470 working this loop is it there's none of 0:36:50.810,0:36:55.069 that so when you're talking about 0:36:53.470,0:36:57.890 neurological Lyme 0:36:55.069,0:37:01.040 yes it's diagnosing the line but it's 0:36:57.890,0:37:02.839 also you can go through a killing spree 0:37:01.040,0:37:04.849 and you can go through a protocol to 0:37:02.839,0:37:06.800 detox and to get the lime out of your 0:37:04.849,0:37:08.060 body and and to get the parasites out 0:37:06.800,0:37:10.730 and get mold out and get all those 0:37:08.060,0:37:13.609 things out but what about the repair of 0:37:10.730,0:37:15.950 your neurological system the repair of 0:37:13.609,0:37:17.690 your neurological system especially if 0:37:15.950,0:37:21.740 you've had a series of seizures if 0:37:17.690,0:37:23.960 you've had facial paralysis if you've 0:37:21.740,0:37:26.180 had Bell's palsy if you've had any of 0:37:23.960,0:37:29.060 these things that means your brain is 0:37:26.180,0:37:31.790 very compromised and it most likely has 0:37:29.060,0:37:36.349 to create new pathways it's had to 0:37:31.790,0:37:39.069 rewire to adapt to the stress so this is 0:37:36.349,0:37:41.359 about using modalities like 0:37:39.069,0:37:44.510 neurofeedback this is about using 0:37:41.359,0:37:46.880 modalities like physical therapy or what 0:37:44.510,0:37:50.420 we call neurological chiropractic where 0:37:46.880,0:37:54.040 we use a brain entrainment device that 0:37:50.420,0:37:54.040 stimulates the visual system 0:37:55.430,0:38:00.859 and we do this to connect your brain 0:37:58.520,0:38:04.309 back to your body this is something we 0:38:00.859,0:38:07.460 do with stroke patients as well so there 0:38:04.309,0:38:11.119 are so many modalities that can repair 0:38:07.460,0:38:13.369 the neurological system after you work 0:38:11.119,0:38:16.849 on the inflammation and the infections 0:38:13.369,0:38:19.490 and the autoimmune and the toxicity it's 0:38:16.849,0:38:25.609 all about strategy and it's all about 0:38:19.490,0:38:27.589 timing so the blood test conversation is 0:38:25.609,0:38:29.299 I've had a blood test they've done so 0:38:27.589,0:38:30.950 many blood tests on me and they told me 0:38:29.299,0:38:33.740 in lime isn't part of the puzzle I don't 0:38:30.950,0:38:36.799 have lime well first of all the lime 0:38:33.740,0:38:37.640 antibody test through quest and lab cork 0:38:36.799,0:38:40.730 is garbage 0:38:37.640,0:38:43.760 number two lime Western blot is still 0:38:40.730,0:38:46.369 not very good one of the better task is 0:38:43.760,0:38:47.480 called ijen --ax but the thing about 0:38:46.369,0:38:49.819 ijen ik's 0:38:47.480,0:38:50.869 is it's still a blood test and if those 0:38:49.819,0:38:51.650 of you that have been listening the 0:38:50.869,0:38:53.539 whole time 0:38:51.650,0:38:56.029 lime does not live in your blood it 0:38:53.539,0:39:00.589 lives in your connective tissue where it 0:38:56.029,0:39:03.079 hides so two things number one is that 0:39:00.589,0:39:05.799 if you have been bit by a tick and you 0:39:03.079,0:39:10.010 have a bull's-eye you need to wait 0:39:05.799,0:39:12.020 anywhere between 8 to 12 weeks post bite 0:39:10.010,0:39:14.029 bullseye rash before you would get an 0:39:12.020,0:39:17.839 accurate reading on the blood test 0:39:14.029,0:39:20.920 number one number two is that if you're 0:39:17.839,0:39:26.180 going to do any type of blood test 0:39:20.920,0:39:29.180 technically you need to provoke the lime 0:39:26.180,0:39:30.829 to get a better reading so one of the 0:39:29.180,0:39:33.200 ways you can do that is take antibiotics 0:39:30.829,0:39:34.880 which I don't personally advise taking 0:39:33.200,0:39:37.789 antibiotics when you don't really know 0:39:34.880,0:39:41.059 if you need them but the other thing 0:39:37.789,0:39:43.339 that you can do is what dr. Ruggiero and 0:39:41.059,0:39:47.480 dr. Klink are created called the RK 0:39:43.339,0:39:50.720 protocol so the RK protocol is taking an 0:39:47.480,0:39:53.569 infrared light as well as what we use is 0:39:50.720,0:39:55.640 the sound wave device and you use the 0:39:53.569,0:39:58.970 infrared and the sound wave over 0:39:55.640,0:40:01.430 different lymphatic chains lymphatic 0:39:58.970,0:40:04.160 changes all the different chains of your 0:40:01.430,0:40:06.319 immune system so you go over these 0:40:04.160,0:40:06.900 different areas and pretty much what 0:40:06.319,0:40:09.750 you're doing 0:40:06.900,0:40:13.890 you're pushing the infection out of its 0:40:09.750,0:40:16.890 hiding places so best-case scenario is 0:40:13.890,0:40:21.059 after doing the RK protocol you do a DNA 0:40:16.890,0:40:23.099 PCR urine task by DNA connections this 0:40:21.059,0:40:26.880 is at this point the gold standard for 0:40:23.099,0:40:29.910 how to diagnose Lyme properly so the RK 0:40:26.880,0:40:32.339 protocol is extremely necessary to do if 0:40:29.910,0:40:36.020 you're going to do the DNA urine test or 0:40:32.339,0:40:36.020 if you're going to 0:40:37.560,0:40:44.280 is not good enough so this is really 0:40:42.540,0:40:47.070 fascinating I threw this in here just 0:40:44.280,0:40:50.160 mainly for fun but when we talk about 0:40:47.070,0:40:53.700 how we get exposed to the line through 0:40:50.160,0:40:56.370 ticks ticks are so freakin advanced and 0:40:53.700,0:40:58.110 smart but number one like I always would 0:40:56.370,0:41:00.210 be in the woods like mountain biking and 0:40:58.110,0:41:02.040 I'd always wonder like how does it take 0:41:00.210,0:41:03.480 know where you are like how does it how 0:41:02.040,0:41:06.330 does it find you like how does it land 0:41:03.480,0:41:10.260 on you so one of the ways is because 0:41:06.330,0:41:13.200 when you exhale carbon dioxide he can 0:41:10.260,0:41:15.480 actually target the exhaled carbon 0:41:13.200,0:41:18.840 dioxide so that's how they get on you in 0:41:15.480,0:41:22.590 the first place number two is then the 0:41:18.840,0:41:25.380 saliva of the tick actually glues into 0:41:22.590,0:41:28.920 into you which is so why they're so hard 0:41:25.380,0:41:33.300 to pull off but the craziest part is 0:41:28.920,0:41:36.960 that as they then bite they secrete a 0:41:33.300,0:41:39.870 very specific hormone that will stop the 0:41:36.960,0:41:42.270 inflammatory process so that you don't 0:41:39.870,0:41:44.550 get itchy so that's why you always get 0:41:42.270,0:41:46.410 home later you get in the shower or 0:41:44.550,0:41:49.340 you're rubbing your head and you're not 0:41:46.410,0:41:52.320 attacked because it actually shut down 0:41:49.340,0:41:54.630 your immune response that would have 0:41:52.320,0:41:57.780 made you irritated or itchy too then 0:41:54.630,0:42:00.330 obviously pull it off so then you know 0:41:57.780,0:42:04.290 outside of that when it bites and then 0:42:00.330,0:42:06.210 mm-hmm the saliva sticks into you that's 0:42:04.290,0:42:09.360 actually how it's going to transmit the 0:42:06.210,0:42:13.320 the beryllium into your system so just 0:42:09.360,0:42:16.220 it's such an interesting transmission 0:42:13.320,0:42:19.770 because these ticks are designed 0:42:16.220,0:42:21.330 literally to to be able to be a vector 0:42:19.770,0:42:26.040 for all of these different types of 0:42:21.330,0:42:28.980 infections Lyme being one so looking for 0:42:26.040,0:42:32.190 neurological Lyme so this is probably 0:42:28.980,0:42:34.830 the most interesting thing because when 0:42:32.190,0:42:37.170 you're dealing with a pretty advanced 0:42:34.830,0:42:40.170 neurological issue maybe you're dealing 0:42:37.170,0:42:43.620 with chronic seizures that are happening 0:42:40.170,0:42:45.630 every hour maybe dealing with the 0:42:43.620,0:42:48.970 potential for multiple sclerosis 0:42:45.630,0:42:51.339 maybe you just a diagnosed with a 0:42:48.970,0:42:55.329 maybe you've been diagnosed with 0:42:51.339,0:42:57.119 dementia or Alzheimer's so if it gets to 0:42:55.329,0:43:00.609 the point that you actually are 0:42:57.119,0:43:02.079 recommended to do a spinal tap one of 0:43:00.609,0:43:05.740 the interesting things that I've learned 0:43:02.079,0:43:09.190 over time is that when you pull a pull 0:43:05.740,0:43:12.069 the cerebral spinal fluid from a spinal 0:43:09.190,0:43:14.920 tap what is happening is that the 0:43:12.069,0:43:17.079 technician or the analyst is looking for 0:43:14.920,0:43:19.299 the spirochetes that's what the squiggly 0:43:17.079,0:43:22.690 things look like so spirochetes look 0:43:19.299,0:43:25.750 like little squiggly worms but the thing 0:43:22.690,0:43:28.270 is is that when a spirochete is in 0:43:25.750,0:43:30.430 contact or I should say the lime is in 0:43:28.270,0:43:33.760 contact with a cerebral spinal fluid it 0:43:30.430,0:43:36.849 is never in the spirochete form it is 0:43:33.760,0:43:40.349 always in the form of something called a 0:43:36.849,0:43:40.349 bleb which looks 0:43:42.270,0:43:49.360 so the thing about this is that very 0:43:46.360,0:43:50.950 common when someone is analyzing the 0:43:49.360,0:43:52.720 cerebrospinal fluid they are always 0:43:50.950,0:43:54.610 looking for the spirochete so if you're 0:43:52.720,0:43:56.500 looking for the spirochete it is always 0:43:54.610,0:43:59.860 going to come up negative for 0:43:56.500,0:44:03.220 neurological line and this is a huge 0:43:59.860,0:44:05.680 problem with us understanding is line 0:44:03.220,0:44:08.110 playing a role in someone's neurological 0:44:05.680,0:44:11.230 condition because there is a huge 0:44:08.110,0:44:14.440 possibility that that is a big big piece 0:44:11.230,0:44:16.300 of the puzzle but in addition to that 0:44:14.440,0:44:18.700 don't get me wrong I've worked with many 0:44:16.300,0:44:21.070 people that have had Lyme in their 0:44:18.700,0:44:23.170 neurological system in addition to 0:44:21.070,0:44:26.200 viruses like herpes simplex and 0:44:23.170,0:44:29.020 coxsackievirus so these are different 0:44:26.200,0:44:32.110 things that also can be living with the 0:44:29.020,0:44:36.760 Lyme creating massive massive stress on 0:44:32.110,0:44:38.920 the neurological system so this kind of 0:44:36.760,0:44:42.660 piggybacks off of things I've already 0:44:38.920,0:44:47.530 said when it comes to neurological Lyme 0:44:42.660,0:44:49.840 it's not just about looking at this as 0:44:47.530,0:44:52.990 an infection and saying we need to kill 0:44:49.840,0:44:57.550 kill kill kill kill or detox detox detox 0:44:52.990,0:45:00.220 this is also about really being able to 0:44:57.550,0:45:04.720 support the neurological system in the 0:45:00.220,0:45:07.780 proper way so the brain detox is at 0:45:04.720,0:45:09.210 night so your brain will shrink by 40% 0:45:07.780,0:45:11.860 when you sleep 0:45:09.210,0:45:14.530 everyone's not just you and not just me 0:45:11.860,0:45:16.450 so the brain shrinks by 40% when you 0:45:14.530,0:45:19.570 sleep and the reason why it does that is 0:45:16.450,0:45:23.470 because it allows for the veins and the 0:45:19.570,0:45:26.560 cerebrospinal fluid to drain to clear 0:45:23.470,0:45:30.910 out anything that is harmful or toxic to 0:45:26.560,0:45:31.960 the brain but the thing is is that you 0:45:30.910,0:45:33.670 have to have a healthy cardiovascular 0:45:31.960,0:45:36.040 system for this to work 0:45:33.670,0:45:39.400 number one you also have to have a 0:45:36.040,0:45:41.830 properly functioning lymphatic system 0:45:39.400,0:45:44.320 which I will explain more of and you 0:45:41.830,0:45:46.870 also have to have good neck alignment 0:45:44.320,0:45:49.000 and not necessarily tons of scar tissue 0:45:46.870,0:45:52.030 in your neck from different types of 0:45:49.000,0:45:54.400 surgeries or injuries you also have to 0:45:52.030,0:45:55.690 have proper drainage that is happening 0:45:54.400,0:45:58.869 in your sinuses 0:45:55.690,0:46:02.050 in your ears etc and guess where it all 0:45:58.869,0:46:05.140 dumps it all dumps into the tonsils and 0:46:02.050,0:46:08.079 adenoids so how many of us are missing 0:46:05.140,0:46:10.900 those so pretty much what happens is 0:46:08.079,0:46:13.540 that all of those toxins go directly 0:46:10.900,0:46:15.400 into all of these lymph nodes and then 0:46:13.540,0:46:18.910 you have this vicious cycle because your 0:46:15.400,0:46:21.430 lymph nodes here they sit right next to 0:46:18.910,0:46:24.400 the vein or the arteries that go up and 0:46:21.430,0:46:26.410 then the veins that drain out so if you 0:46:24.400,0:46:28.180 have a bunch of gunked-up lymph nodes 0:46:26.410,0:46:30.150 and swollen glands you're like wow this 0:46:28.180,0:46:32.530 hurts all the time why is this swollen 0:46:30.150,0:46:35.530 what that means is somebody put their 0:46:32.530,0:46:37.569 foot on the hose so that means you're 0:46:35.530,0:46:40.089 not eating proper drainage away from the 0:46:37.569,0:46:43.180 brain so if you end up having 0:46:40.089,0:46:45.520 neurological line and you're just trying 0:46:43.180,0:46:47.500 to go in and kill kill kill and nobody 0:46:45.520,0:46:50.619 is actually helping you with improving 0:46:47.500,0:46:53.920 the vainest drainage the lymphatic 0:46:50.619,0:46:56.619 system the alignment of your neck if 0:46:53.920,0:46:58.210 there's scar tissue if nobody's helping 0:46:56.619,0:47:00.400 you with that you're not gonna get 0:46:58.210,0:47:03.430 better this is why we have an 0:47:00.400,0:47:05.290 integrative practice because we hit road 0:47:03.430,0:47:08.079 block after road block after road block 0:47:05.290,0:47:11.319 with our patients and then we realized 0:47:08.079,0:47:12.730 how important everything is and I feel 0:47:11.319,0:47:15.220 very fortunate that we have 0:47:12.730,0:47:19.180 chiropractors in our office because that 0:47:15.220,0:47:21.310 physical work of working structurally 0:47:19.180,0:47:22.900 working on the muscles working on the 0:47:21.310,0:47:25.930 joints working on the ligaments the 0:47:22.900,0:47:28.710 tendons like that is so transformative 0:47:25.930,0:47:31.839 when you're trying to help people detox 0:47:28.710,0:47:33.760 detox is not just about drinking 0:47:31.839,0:47:36.250 smoothies and taking a bunch of liver 0:47:33.760,0:47:38.079 based supplements you are having detox 0:47:36.250,0:47:39.810 pathways everywhere you have lymph nodes 0:47:38.079,0:47:43.510 from the top of your head to your toes 0:47:39.810,0:47:45.400 sometimes your detox needs to happen by 0:47:43.510,0:47:48.790 helping to get your lymph moving and 0:47:45.400,0:47:51.099 also helping to get your veins draining 0:47:48.790,0:47:53.800 and get your arteries pumping blood to 0:47:51.099,0:47:55.359 places so it's extremely important to 0:47:53.800,0:47:58.240 understand all of these different pieces 0:47:55.359,0:48:00.099 of the puzzle but for those of you that 0:47:58.240,0:48:02.530 have been with me this whole time I will 0:48:00.099,0:48:06.190 give you a little tip that will help 0:48:02.530,0:48:07.790 your brain drain tonight is if you lift 0:48:06.190,0:48:11.750 your headboard 0:48:07.790,0:48:13.610 three to four inches just your headboard 0:48:11.750,0:48:15.860 yes your bed will be on a bit of an 0:48:13.610,0:48:18.950 incline just tiny but you barely will 0:48:15.860,0:48:20.780 notice put a couple of books underneath 0:48:18.950,0:48:22.310 the posts of your headboard elevate it 0:48:20.780,0:48:25.640 anywhere between three to four inches 0:48:22.310,0:48:27.890 and I promise you you will sleep so much 0:48:25.640,0:48:29.270 freaking better and if you wake up with 0:48:27.890,0:48:31.190 low-grade headaches you probably won't 0:48:29.270,0:48:32.990 wake up with a low-grade headache if you 0:48:31.190,0:48:35.810 snore have tons of sinus issues you 0:48:32.990,0:48:38.330 probably won't have that either so try 0:48:35.810,0:48:43.670 it it is the cheapest easiest thing that 0:48:38.330,0:48:47.210 you can do for your brain to help it so 0:48:43.670,0:48:50.270 on that note I had a patient recently 0:48:47.210,0:48:54.110 she came to see me she was diagnosed 0:48:50.270,0:48:56.720 with MS my opening statement to her was 0:48:54.110,0:48:59.570 I don't think you have MS and she was 0:48:56.720,0:49:01.730 like what and I was like I know I know 0:48:59.570,0:49:04.880 bold statement but I was like let me 0:49:01.730,0:49:06.470 explain why so two pieces of the puzzle 0:49:04.880,0:49:09.080 well three pieces of the puzzle number 0:49:06.470,0:49:12.220 one she had lime in her system so that 0:49:09.080,0:49:15.350 was one stressor but her bigger 0:49:12.220,0:49:19.400 stressors was actually the fact that her 0:49:15.350,0:49:22.310 pancreas was practically shutting down 0:49:19.400,0:49:23.780 her pancreas was super close to the 0:49:22.310,0:49:25.820 development of what we call type 1 0:49:23.780,0:49:27.620 diabetes which is massive insulin 0:49:25.820,0:49:30.800 resistance so let me just keep this 0:49:27.620,0:49:36.170 simple for you guys so no you have to 0:49:30.800,0:49:38.870 lift your bed just pull it so the 0:49:36.170,0:49:41.720 pancreas regulates blood sugar so the 0:49:38.870,0:49:43.100 frontal lobe of your brain where first 0:49:41.720,0:49:44.840 of all most of your neurotransmitters 0:49:43.100,0:49:46.990 are made your serotonin your dopamine 0:49:44.840,0:49:50.390 the frontal lobe of your brain is 0:49:46.990,0:49:53.300 extremely extremely sensitive to your 0:49:50.390,0:49:54.860 blood sugar stability this is not about 0:49:53.300,0:49:57.260 having high blood sugar like 0:49:54.860,0:49:59.150 pre-diabetic diabetic this is also 0:49:57.260,0:50:03.700 problematic if you have low blood sugar 0:49:59.150,0:50:07.340 if you're hypoglycemic so it's about 0:50:03.700,0:50:09.650 balanced blood sugar so this woman was 0:50:07.340,0:50:11.750 dealing with very imbalanced blood sugar 0:50:09.650,0:50:14.090 so she actually had a stomach infection 0:50:11.750,0:50:14.900 that I think was in her system for like 0:50:14.090,0:50:16.520 20 years 0:50:14.900,0:50:19.850 she had a infection in her stomach 0:50:16.520,0:50:21.550 called h pylori your stomach literally 0:50:19.850,0:50:23.880 has valves that are connected to your 0:50:21.550,0:50:23.880 hey grass 0:50:25.849,0:50:30.799 under indigestion no your reflux then 0:50:29.209,0:50:32.869 that can start to affect your pancreas 0:50:30.799,0:50:34.699 so then that starts to affect your 0:50:32.869,0:50:38.029 pancreas and then your pancreas stops 0:50:34.699,0:50:42.229 making insulin so insulin is what allows 0:50:38.029,0:50:44.599 your cells and your brain to use the 0:50:42.229,0:50:47.329 sugar use the glucose because glucose is 0:50:44.599,0:50:50.089 technically fuel for us so if you have 0:50:47.329,0:50:52.099 no insulin you can't use your glucose so 0:50:50.089,0:50:54.680 it just floats around and it causes a 0:50:52.099,0:50:59.359 boatload of inflammation and guess what 0:50:54.680,0:51:03.019 it does it causes atherosclerosis and it 0:50:59.359,0:51:05.029 causes plaques in your cardiovascular 0:51:03.019,0:51:08.029 system so guess what guys 0:51:05.029,0:51:09.559 it's not cholesterol it's sugar that is 0:51:08.029,0:51:12.680 causing heart disease and 0:51:09.559,0:51:14.150 atherosclerosis and plaquing and all of 0:51:12.680,0:51:16.339 those things it's not freakin 0:51:14.150,0:51:18.949 cholesterol I'm so tired of them putting 0:51:16.339,0:51:20.630 bad stuff out there in the media about 0:51:18.949,0:51:22.190 cholesterol and telling people they 0:51:20.630,0:51:25.039 shouldn't eat eggs it is like the 0:51:22.190,0:51:27.410 biggest BS in the world but one thing is 0:51:25.039,0:51:29.839 it's like we cut out all these fats but 0:51:27.410,0:51:31.339 we still have the heart disease but 0:51:29.839,0:51:34.910 guess what's in everything that we eat 0:51:31.339,0:51:38.119 sugar sugar is in everything we try to 0:51:34.910,0:51:41.630 be healthier and we tried two things we 0:51:38.119,0:51:45.170 tried to go and get like a coconut milk 0:51:41.630,0:51:48.680 latte from Starbucks so I used to drink 0:51:45.170,0:51:50.690 my mint vanilla lattes and then I was 0:51:48.680,0:51:54.140 like crap this is really bad for me so 0:51:50.690,0:51:57.170 then I switched to my no sugar coconut 0:51:54.140,0:51:59.989 milk latte then I made myself a coconut 0:51:57.170,0:52:01.940 milk latte at home and I'm like hmm this 0:51:59.989,0:52:03.709 tastes different next time I was at 0:52:01.940,0:52:07.190 Starbucks I asked them to see the milk 0:52:03.709,0:52:10.160 and there was 35 grams of sugar so 0:52:07.190,0:52:12.349 there's a lot of sugar just in the 0:52:10.160,0:52:13.999 coconut milk at Starbucks and we think 0:52:12.349,0:52:15.920 we're doing something better by not 0:52:13.999,0:52:18.410 getting you know the extra sweetener in 0:52:15.920,0:52:20.930 there so when it comes to blood sugar 0:52:18.410,0:52:24.019 being unstable and a bunch of sugar 0:52:20.930,0:52:26.660 floating around in your blood because 0:52:24.019,0:52:29.989 either your diet is bad or your pancreas 0:52:26.660,0:52:33.019 is pissed or both that is going to then 0:52:29.989,0:52:34.279 cause massive circulatory issues so now 0:52:33.019,0:52:36.799 you have a double whammy 0:52:34.279,0:52:38.700 we have abnormal blood sugar which is 0:52:36.799,0:52:42.090 totally screwing up the front 0:52:38.700,0:52:44.040 and then we start to have plaquing in 0:52:42.090,0:52:46.770 the cardiovascular system which is not 0:52:44.040,0:52:49.800 allowing blood flow to get to the brain 0:52:46.770,0:52:54.570 which means we don't have enough oxygen 0:52:49.800,0:52:56.400 to the brain oxygen and glucose are the 0:52:54.570,0:52:59.280 two things your brain needs the most of 0:52:56.400,0:53:01.470 so if you don't have those two things 0:52:59.280,0:53:04.710 working for you you could easily have 0:53:01.470,0:53:10.290 brain degeneration myelin degeneration 0:53:04.710,0:53:12.090 which then we call ms so the point of me 0:53:10.290,0:53:14.970 telling you this is that when we are 0:53:12.090,0:53:17.910 talking about Lyme being neurological 0:53:14.970,0:53:19.730 it's usually not just Lyme hanging out 0:53:17.910,0:53:21.750 and that's the end of the story there is 0:53:19.730,0:53:24.480 compounding factors that are causing 0:53:21.750,0:53:26.130 this so another thing too is if you're 0:53:24.480,0:53:28.710 having cardiovascular problems to your 0:53:26.130,0:53:30.780 brain then chances are you probably have 0:53:28.710,0:53:33.360 headaches or migraines or maybe you just 0:53:30.780,0:53:34.850 attribute it to sinus pressure if you're 0:53:33.360,0:53:37.950 having blood sugar instability 0:53:34.850,0:53:39.540 especially the hypoglycemic people you 0:53:37.950,0:53:41.820 wake up in the morning you're not really 0:53:39.540,0:53:44.310 hungry if anything you're like oh Kenny 0:53:41.820,0:53:46.740 you have coffee it suppresses your 0:53:44.310,0:53:48.510 appetite but you need the coffee because 0:53:46.740,0:53:50.400 it opens up your brain and make sure it 0:53:48.510,0:53:52.200 make sure you be able to think so then 0:53:50.400,0:53:54.450 you have your appetite suppressed then 0:53:52.200,0:53:57.300 it gets to lunch like ooh I'm starving 0:53:54.450,0:54:00.120 so then you grab for like a sandwich a 0:53:57.300,0:54:02.610 pizza or like a wrap you need something 0:54:00.120,0:54:04.620 with carbs then you get the middle of 0:54:02.610,0:54:07.020 the day uh-huh crash need more coffee 0:54:04.620,0:54:08.280 then you get to dinner you're starving 0:54:07.020,0:54:09.840 you're eating your cheese and crackers 0:54:08.280,0:54:12.140 as you're prepping your dinner then you 0:54:09.840,0:54:14.970 eat dinner then you want something sweet 0:54:12.140,0:54:16.170 so I say that's my patients and there 0:54:14.970,0:54:18.420 have their mouths dropped early did you 0:54:16.170,0:54:20.000 just tell me my biography I'm like trust 0:54:18.420,0:54:23.820 me I've been there I know what it's like 0:54:20.000,0:54:25.200 so having low blood sugar is not a good 0:54:23.820,0:54:30.270 thing because it means every time you 0:54:25.200,0:54:32.700 eat you spike and then you plummet so 0:54:30.270,0:54:36.210 another side note too is when we're 0:54:32.700,0:54:41.040 dealing with Lyme I know that a lot of 0:54:36.210,0:54:43.670 people you know they struggle with they 0:54:41.040,0:54:46.230 struggle with their symptoms because 0:54:43.670,0:54:48.540 when they first start having symptoms 0:54:46.230,0:54:49.790 you know everyone is generally really 0:54:48.540,0:54:53.000 concerned like what's go 0:54:49.790,0:54:54.860 and then it gets to the point that it's 0:54:53.000,0:54:56.270 going on for so long and they're not 0:54:54.860,0:54:59.000 necessarily getting better or not 0:54:56.270,0:55:01.010 necessarily getting answers and people 0:54:59.000,0:55:03.050 around them start to be like you know 0:55:01.010,0:55:05.210 are you dramatic are you making this up 0:55:03.050,0:55:07.970 if this in your head is it really that 0:55:05.210,0:55:11.360 bad and they don't they just can't 0:55:07.970,0:55:14.630 relate to the symptoms but I will tell 0:55:11.360,0:55:18.560 you is that when women and children have 0:55:14.630,0:55:20.960 worse symptoms in relation to Lyme it's 0:55:18.560,0:55:22.640 actually not because of hormones and 0:55:20.960,0:55:24.500 it's not because of age it's not because 0:55:22.640,0:55:28.190 of any of that it actually has to do 0:55:24.500,0:55:34.180 with blood so women and children tend to 0:55:28.190,0:55:36.350 have less blood they actually have it's 0:55:34.180,0:55:39.680 three point to five liters of blood 0:55:36.350,0:55:43.070 versus a male who is 5.5 and then women 0:55:39.680,0:55:45.740 also tend to carry fewer oxygen bearing 0:55:43.070,0:55:48.680 red blood cells and that has a lot to do 0:55:45.740,0:55:52.550 with menstrual cycle losing iron as well 0:55:48.680,0:55:55.100 as losing red blood cells so the 0:55:52.550,0:55:56.810 constituents and the abundance of blood 0:55:55.100,0:55:59.240 has everything to do with how 0:55:56.810,0:56:00.560 symptomatic you are so don't let anybody 0:55:59.240,0:56:04.250 sit there and tell you that it's in your 0:56:00.560,0:56:05.960 head because it's not another thing too 0:56:04.250,0:56:08.030 is if you're running really low with 0:56:05.960,0:56:09.980 your body temperature this is 0:56:08.030,0:56:15.020 potentially because lime has hijacked 0:56:09.980,0:56:17.330 your metabolism and this has a lot to do 0:56:15.020,0:56:19.640 with again limes very smart it's very 0:56:17.330,0:56:22.100 evolved so it hijacks your metabolism it 0:56:19.640,0:56:24.740 drops your temperature for every point 0:56:22.100,0:56:27.140 two degrees then it drops your pathogens 0:56:24.740,0:56:29.960 will double so your lime will double so 0:56:27.140,0:56:31.850 if you are freezing all the time you 0:56:29.960,0:56:34.480 need to get your butt into an infrared 0:56:31.850,0:56:36.590 sauna and start burning some stuff off 0:56:34.480,0:56:38.420 and then the same thing goes if you're 0:56:36.590,0:56:40.550 heating up at night women call it hot 0:56:38.420,0:56:42.830 flashes OMI perimenopausal I'm like 0:56:40.550,0:56:45.590 you're 30 you're not very about a puzzle 0:56:42.830,0:56:48.230 so heating up at night is a sign that 0:56:45.590,0:56:52.180 your body is inducing a low-grade fever 0:56:48.230,0:56:52.180 in order to fight off infections 0:56:52.250,0:56:56.630 so another big thing too is when we're 0:56:54.830,0:56:59.000 talking about Lyme we often think that 0:56:56.630,0:57:01.010 it's the only part of the puzzle but 0:56:59.000,0:57:02.570 what I find really interesting is when 0:57:01.010,0:57:06.820 we're talking about neurological Lyme 0:57:02.570,0:57:08.990 very often I find that there is 0:57:06.820,0:57:11.630 co-infections one of them is called 0:57:08.990,0:57:15.890 Bartonella Bartonella I put a picture 0:57:11.630,0:57:17.030 here because Bartonella leaves marks on 0:57:15.890,0:57:20.330 the body 0:57:17.030,0:57:21.619 that look like a cat scratched you 0:57:20.330,0:57:24.320 that's why it's called cat scratch fever 0:57:21.619,0:57:26.570 it's not because a cat scratched you and 0:57:24.320,0:57:28.070 that's how you got infected it actually 0:57:26.570,0:57:30.619 leaves marks on the body that look like 0:57:28.070,0:57:33.470 a cat scratch also it can look like 0:57:30.619,0:57:36.650 stretch marks so when you have a young 0:57:33.470,0:57:39.380 female who has had zero fluctuations in 0:57:36.650,0:57:42.520 her weight and she has stretch marks 0:57:39.380,0:57:42.520 that could 0:57:44.310,0:57:51.660 but Bartonella has a tendency to create 0:57:47.730,0:57:54.210 a lot of neurological inflammation so 0:57:51.660,0:57:56.700 it's very important to be able to have 0:57:54.210,0:57:58.980 the right diagnosis to decipher is this 0:57:56.700,0:58:01.080 Bartonella or is this actual beryllium 0:57:58.980,0:58:03.600 which is the line that is affecting the 0:58:01.080,0:58:05.400 neurological system so for those of you 0:58:03.600,0:58:07.500 that have been on Instagram live this is 0:58:05.400,0:58:09.870 going to cut me off in a minute and a 0:58:07.500,0:58:11.850 half so again for those of you that want 0:58:09.870,0:58:13.740 the full replay to hear the rest of the 0:58:11.850,0:58:16.080 webinar definitely just shoot me over 0:58:13.740,0:58:17.630 your email in the druk message and I 0:58:16.080,0:58:20.220 will make sure to get that over to you 0:58:17.630,0:58:23.190 and then you could always join us in the 0:58:20.220,0:58:28.860 future episodes on the webinar to ask 0:58:23.190,0:58:30.480 questions okay so the other thing too 0:58:28.860,0:58:32.250 this is always the most fascinating for 0:58:30.480,0:58:34.350 people is when it comes to the emotional 0:58:32.250,0:58:37.800 side of the puzzle so when we are 0:58:34.350,0:58:41.130 talking about Lyme we are often talking 0:58:37.800,0:58:42.690 about a lot of joint discomfort and this 0:58:41.130,0:58:44.730 is even in people that are dealing with 0:58:42.690,0:58:47.400 the neurological line so when you're 0:58:44.730,0:58:50.880 dealing with the joint discomfort there 0:58:47.400,0:58:53.790 is very very specific things to consider 0:58:50.880,0:58:56.250 when we are talking about joints so 0:58:53.790,0:58:58.980 number one is when we want to talk about 0:58:56.250,0:59:01.020 an emotional connection so let me give 0:58:58.980,0:59:03.030 you an example of this so I had a 0:59:01.020,0:59:05.160 patient who came in and she ended up 0:59:03.030,0:59:08.700 having active Lyme come up in her in her 0:59:05.160,0:59:11.340 bloodwork but one of the things that is 0:59:08.700,0:59:13.530 very associated with Lyme is 0:59:11.340,0:59:17.220 connective tissue disorders like lupus 0:59:13.530,0:59:20.040 or scleroderma so I had a patient who 0:59:17.220,0:59:23.130 ended up having lupus in her right hand 0:59:20.040,0:59:25.590 so the lupus in her right hand so why 0:59:23.130,0:59:27.000 would that happen like how does that 0:59:25.590,0:59:29.670 make any sense 0:59:27.000,0:59:33.240 that if she has Lyme showing up in her 0:59:29.670,0:59:35.940 system why would she only have this 0:59:33.240,0:59:39.000 autoimmune condition specifically coming 0:59:35.940,0:59:41.100 up in the right hand so I asked her and 0:59:39.000,0:59:43.590 I said is there something that you're 0:59:41.100,0:59:46.590 holding on to in relation to a male 0:59:43.590,0:59:48.810 figure in your life and she just looked 0:59:46.590,0:59:50.790 at me like what the hell how would you 0:59:48.810,0:59:52.920 even know that and she's like yeah I'm 0:59:50.790,0:59:54.600 having a lot of issues with my my dad 0:59:52.920,0:59:56.030 right now there was this very specific 0:59:54.600,0:59:59.360 falling out 0:59:56.030,1:00:00.980 and I'm holding on to you know some of 0:59:59.360,1:00:05.840 the words that were said that were 1:00:00.980,1:00:08.720 really hurtful and that was literally 1:00:05.840,1:00:12.700 one of the pieces of the puzzle that was 1:00:08.720,1:00:16.580 a big culprit as to the manifestation of 1:00:12.700,1:00:19.400 the Lupus so then we did some work with 1:00:16.580,1:00:21.230 her to actually work through that 1:00:19.400,1:00:23.000 emotional piece and she was able to 1:00:21.230,1:00:25.040 resolve things with her dad when I 1:00:23.000,1:00:29.420 retested her the lupus was completely 1:00:25.040,1:00:31.960 gone so again this is the crazy things 1:00:29.420,1:00:35.150 that I see on a day-to-day basis is that 1:00:31.960,1:00:37.400 lupus is not a definitive lupus is not 1:00:35.150,1:00:39.110 systemic it's not affecting every single 1:00:37.400,1:00:40.970 part of your body it can easily be 1:00:39.110,1:00:43.640 affecting one area that is tied to 1:00:40.970,1:00:47.180 something that is completely off of your 1:00:43.640,1:00:48.950 radar so when it comes to another person 1:00:47.180,1:00:51.050 that I worked with she was actually 1:00:48.950,1:00:54.530 dealing with Lyme as well she had 1:00:51.050,1:00:56.690 scleroderma in her I think was her right 1:00:54.530,1:00:58.790 foot as well when you're talking about 1:00:56.690,1:01:01.010 the foot that's a lot of you know are 1:00:58.790,1:01:04.130 you what is holding you back from moving 1:01:01.010,1:01:07.670 forward and this had a lot to do with an 1:01:04.130,1:01:09.830 ex-husband really bad divorce was you 1:01:07.670,1:01:12.140 know really apprehensive about moving 1:01:09.830,1:01:13.280 forward because they had a daughter and 1:01:12.140,1:01:16.250 she wanted to make sure that he was 1:01:13.280,1:01:19.220 still in her life so there's so many 1:01:16.250,1:01:22.820 interesting things that come up that the 1:01:19.220,1:01:25.220 emotions can trigger but if you're not 1:01:22.820,1:01:26.960 asking better questions this is 1:01:25.220,1:01:29.360 something that is not discussed and you 1:01:26.960,1:01:30.500 just go on detoxing detoxing treating 1:01:29.360,1:01:33.920 line treating line killing killing 1:01:30.500,1:01:36.260 killing and you don't get better because 1:01:33.920,1:01:41.570 there is a piece of the puzzle that is 1:01:36.260,1:01:44.120 not being addressed so the the big one 1:01:41.570,1:01:47.590 here so this is all about antibiotics so 1:01:44.120,1:01:47.590 when it comes to the antibiotics 1:01:49.310,1:01:54.560 just take away that there is a new you 1:01:52.610,1:01:57.350 know discussion happening about what we 1:01:54.560,1:01:59.780 now call post Lyme syndrome so the 1:01:57.350,1:02:03.560 reason why post Lyme syndrome exists is 1:01:59.780,1:02:05.180 because what they were finding is 1:02:03.560,1:02:07.730 anywhere between four eight or even 1:02:05.180,1:02:10.160 twelve weeks after treatment of 1:02:07.730,1:02:13.730 antibiotics that symptoms started to 1:02:10.160,1:02:16.240 come back and potentially symptoms would 1:02:13.730,1:02:18.770 get worse or new symptoms would arise 1:02:16.240,1:02:20.870 what they have realized now through 1:02:18.770,1:02:23.720 better testing and better research is 1:02:20.870,1:02:25.880 that the different antibiotics that are 1:02:23.720,1:02:28.700 administered so doxycycline being the 1:02:25.880,1:02:30.650 most common is that when you administer 1:02:28.700,1:02:33.500 antibiotics in the event that there is 1:02:30.650,1:02:36.280 Lyme in the body that all of the 1:02:33.500,1:02:40.610 spirochetes that are present in the body 1:02:36.280,1:02:44.480 they appear to eradicate they appear to 1:02:40.610,1:02:47.480 go away when you're on antibiotics but 1:02:44.480,1:02:50.540 what they didn't realize is that instead 1:02:47.480,1:02:53.240 of them being killed or eradicated it's 1:02:50.540,1:02:55.790 actually that the spirochetes change 1:02:53.240,1:02:59.390 form they change from the little 1:02:55.790,1:03:02.300 corkscrew shaped worm to what we call a 1:02:59.390,1:03:05.600 round body cyst the round body cyst is 1:03:02.300,1:03:08.270 this little round like tapioca pearl but 1:03:05.600,1:03:12.760 the the outer coating is like a shell 1:03:08.270,1:03:16.790 and the shell protects it from the 1:03:12.760,1:03:18.560 antibiotic so what they find is that 1:03:16.790,1:03:20.510 people feel better on their antibiotics 1:03:18.560,1:03:23.990 because the round body cysts form of 1:03:20.510,1:03:27.620 Lyme is not symptomatic but because you 1:03:23.990,1:03:29.690 pissed it off it actually will double or 1:03:27.620,1:03:32.900 even quadruple depending on the 1:03:29.690,1:03:35.660 antibiotic that you use so then you get 1:03:32.900,1:03:38.300 off of your antibiotic and for eight 1:03:35.660,1:03:40.610 even 12 weeks later all of those round 1:03:38.300,1:03:43.850 body's cysts that a more than double now 1:03:40.610,1:03:47.270 start to revert back into the spirochete 1:03:43.850,1:03:50.390 and now you have a boatload of problems 1:03:47.270,1:03:53.380 all over again so it is extremely 1:03:50.390,1:03:53.380 important 1:03:54.410,1:03:59.540 both going a different route if you are 1:03:57.260,1:04:01.820 gonna do antibiotics you need to do that 1:03:59.540,1:04:04.760 in conjunction with other things that 1:04:01.820,1:04:05.750 will be supportive to your body I have 1:04:04.760,1:04:08.540 worked with people that were on 1:04:05.750,1:04:11.540 antibiotics for seven eight the longest 1:04:08.540,1:04:13.940 I think was 18 years there's no reason 1:04:11.540,1:04:17.480 for anybody to be on anything for more 1:04:13.940,1:04:20.360 than six months if it's actually working 1:04:17.480,1:04:22.310 so for you to be on it for years upon 1:04:20.360,1:04:27.200 years and expect a different result it's 1:04:22.310,1:04:30.800 not gonna happen so this really brings 1:04:27.200,1:04:33.250 me to the last point which it's not just 1:04:30.800,1:04:36.770 about killing the lime it is about 1:04:33.250,1:04:39.080 supporting the body's ability to get it 1:04:36.770,1:04:41.540 out of the body I had a woman who came 1:04:39.080,1:04:44.960 to me that was on antibiotics for seven 1:04:41.540,1:04:46.730 years she was so fatigued she had such 1:04:44.960,1:04:49.070 bad brain fog she could barely keep her 1:04:46.730,1:04:51.260 eyes open in her session and when I 1:04:49.070,1:04:53.770 started doing analysis on her I realized 1:04:51.260,1:04:56.540 that her lymphatic system was extremely 1:04:53.770,1:05:01.250 compromised her spleen was compromised 1:04:56.540,1:05:04.190 her tonsils were extremely enlarged so 1:05:01.250,1:05:06.200 what happened was is that over the 1:05:04.190,1:05:09.920 course of the seven years of antibiotics 1:05:06.200,1:05:12.710 she successfully killed a good amount of 1:05:09.920,1:05:15.470 that organism amongst other types of 1:05:12.710,1:05:19.010 organisms that were in her body but all 1:05:15.470,1:05:21.650 the dead organisms were stuck living in 1:05:19.010,1:05:26.690 her lymph nodes and her spleen and her 1:05:21.650,1:05:29.780 appendix so she was really puffy tons of 1:05:26.690,1:05:33.500 inflammation chronic fatigue couldn't 1:05:29.780,1:05:36.980 lose weight joint a penis and it's 1:05:33.500,1:05:39.050 because she literally had there was like 1:05:36.980,1:05:40.790 dead carcasses sitting in her body 1:05:39.050,1:05:43.670 giving off massive and massive amounts 1:05:40.790,1:05:44.900 of toxins so it's extremely important 1:05:43.670,1:05:46.870 for you to understand it's not just 1:05:44.900,1:05:49.940 about killing the lime it's about 1:05:46.870,1:05:51.980 supporting all of the avenues to get it 1:05:49.940,1:05:54.170 out supporting the lymphatic system 1:05:51.980,1:05:56.300 supporting the spleen supporting the 1:05:54.170,1:05:58.280 liver supporting the gut supporting the 1:05:56.300,1:06:00.590 kidneys every single one of those 1:05:58.280,1:06:03.740 avenues needs to be supported to be 1:06:00.590,1:06:05.090 successful so if you haven't figured it 1:06:03.740,1:06:07.920 out yet I'm here to tell you you don't 1:06:05.090,1:06:09.960 know what you don't know so over 1:06:07.920,1:06:11.700 when you're talking about these 1:06:09.960,1:06:13.680 different infections you're talking 1:06:11.700,1:06:16.559 about co-infections you're talking about 1:06:13.680,1:06:19.289 emotional layers there it is impossible 1:06:16.559,1:06:21.210 for you to know what is going on in your 1:06:19.289,1:06:25.559 body and what is the root cause until 1:06:21.210,1:06:27.869 you do better testing so the point is is 1:06:25.559,1:06:30.960 it's stop accepting this new normal and 1:06:27.869,1:06:32.519 what I mean by this is that we get 1:06:30.960,1:06:35.730 diagnosed with the line and we almost 1:06:32.519,1:06:38.010 are relieved because we're like holy 1:06:35.730,1:06:41.369 crap finally somebody knows what's 1:06:38.010,1:06:43.230 causing all these symptoms but then we 1:06:41.369,1:06:45.900 go you know the course of treatment 1:06:43.230,1:06:49.950 again most of the time antibiotics and 1:06:45.900,1:06:52.529 we feel mediocre and we just accept that 1:06:49.950,1:06:54.089 as our new normal and we just are like 1:06:52.529,1:06:56.549 well this is it for me at least I'm not 1:06:54.089,1:06:59.609 debilitated anymore at least I can get 1:06:56.549,1:07:02.369 out of bed at least I you know I can 1:06:59.609,1:07:06.059 walk and it's not about that it's about 1:07:02.369,1:07:08.549 knowing that you can fully recover once 1:07:06.059,1:07:12.480 you know the bigger picture as to what 1:07:08.549,1:07:15.539 is going on so if you haven't gathered 1:07:12.480,1:07:18.869 this yet is neurological Lyme Lyme 1:07:15.539,1:07:20.460 disease as a whole is very rarely is 1:07:18.869,1:07:24.230 this looking like the textbook 1:07:20.460,1:07:27.809 definition of Lyme joint pain achiness 1:07:24.230,1:07:30.599 etc this is this can have so many 1:07:27.809,1:07:32.579 different faces and especially when it 1:07:30.599,1:07:34.500 comes to the neurological piece this 1:07:32.579,1:07:37.140 could be seizures it could be brain fog 1:07:34.500,1:07:38.970 it could be memory loss it could be 1:07:37.140,1:07:41.519 Alzheimer's it could be ALS it could be 1:07:38.970,1:07:46.200 so many different neurological 1:07:41.519,1:07:48.029 conditions so if your if your body and 1:07:46.200,1:07:50.490 your situation does not look like a 1:07:48.029,1:07:52.829 textbook then you shouldn't be treated 1:07:50.490,1:07:54.990 like a textbook and this is where you 1:07:52.829,1:07:57.569 know it comes to looking beyond the 1:07:54.990,1:07:59.880 antibiotic approach and either using 1:07:57.569,1:08:03.480 something complimentary to it or 1:07:59.880,1:08:06.599 choosing a different route altogether so 1:08:03.480,1:08:10.579 overall you know when it comes to this 1:08:06.599,1:08:10.579 whole concept is 1:08:12.240,1:08:18.359 go from conventional which we are all 1:08:14.760,1:08:21.000 programmed to know as the the primary 1:08:18.359,1:08:23.100 source of healthcare and unfortunately 1:08:21.000,1:08:26.330 most people don't seek out anything 1:08:23.100,1:08:30.029 beyond that until things go wrong or 1:08:26.330,1:08:31.920 we're falling flat with answers so 1:08:30.029,1:08:33.870 there's this world of functional 1:08:31.920,1:08:36.120 medicine and functional medicine is 1:08:33.870,1:08:36.950 using better testing to get better 1:08:36.120,1:08:41.390 information 1:08:36.950,1:08:44.549 but unfortunately functional medicine is 1:08:41.390,1:08:46.170 using limited tools it's using a lot of 1:08:44.549,1:08:49.859 dietary recommendations and 1:08:46.170,1:08:52.140 supplementation so I've moved into this 1:08:49.859,1:08:54.930 realm of Integrative Medicine primarily 1:08:52.140,1:08:57.660 because it's not just about that it's 1:08:54.930,1:08:59.069 about yes diet is a piece of the puzzle 1:08:57.660,1:09:00.480 yes supplements are a piece of the 1:08:59.069,1:09:03.180 puzzle yes medications are a piece of 1:09:00.480,1:09:04.650 the puzzle but it's also about detox 1:09:03.180,1:09:06.000 it's about your emotional health it's 1:09:04.650,1:09:08.100 about your stress levels it's about your 1:09:06.000,1:09:10.049 neurological system it's about your 1:09:08.100,1:09:11.430 physical body your lymph nodes it's 1:09:10.049,1:09:13.920 about all of those different things 1:09:11.430,1:09:16.620 every single one of those avenues has to 1:09:13.920,1:09:18.600 be considered and all of those need to 1:09:16.620,1:09:20.549 be considered in your treatment protocol 1:09:18.600,1:09:22.469 because that is the way that you're 1:09:20.549,1:09:25.890 going to get better results in a shorter 1:09:22.469,1:09:28.049 amount of time so people always want to 1:09:25.890,1:09:30.960 know how does this all work you know can 1:09:28.049,1:09:32.850 I go through my insurance etc and you 1:09:30.960,1:09:34.710 know overall what's great about it is 1:09:32.850,1:09:36.299 when you were doing blood work we do 1:09:34.710,1:09:38.400 very comprehensive blood work yes it 1:09:36.299,1:09:40.799 does go through your insurance it'll go 1:09:38.400,1:09:42.930 through your in-network when it comes to 1:09:40.799,1:09:45.239 the rest of the pieces of the puzzle we 1:09:42.930,1:09:49.230 choose to serve you we do not shirt 1:09:45.239,1:09:51.450 serve insurance providers and we spend a 1:09:49.230,1:09:53.670 lot of time we dig we ask that our 1:09:51.450,1:09:56.670 questions we act as a detective we piece 1:09:53.670,1:09:58.920 your puzzle together and we need time to 1:09:56.670,1:10:01.260 do that and this is one of the reasons 1:09:58.920,1:10:04.260 why we opt out of being a network 1:10:01.260,1:10:05.550 because we need to spend that time with 1:10:04.260,1:10:07.230 you to give you the answers that you've 1:10:05.550,1:10:09.989 been looking for that you haven't been 1:10:07.230,1:10:11.610 able to get other places so what is 1:10:09.989,1:10:13.469 great about it is a lot of people end up 1:10:11.610,1:10:14.550 using different types of flex savings 1:10:13.469,1:10:17.190 accounts and they're out of network 1:10:14.550,1:10:18.600 coverage but I really think that 1:10:17.190,1:10:20.489 healthcare is going in a better 1:10:18.600,1:10:23.100 direction and I really hope that the 1:10:20.489,1:10:24.930 coverage is better moving forward but as 1:10:23.100,1:10:26.430 of right now most 1:10:24.930,1:10:29.760 the services are classified as 1:10:26.430,1:10:32.700 out-of-network um and one thing I'll say 1:10:29.760,1:10:34.980 too is you know what I find so 1:10:32.700,1:10:36.300 interesting is that when we have 1:10:34.980,1:10:38.130 different people in our lives and they 1:10:36.300,1:10:39.990 love their like brand-new iPhone or 1:10:38.130,1:10:41.850 their house is pimped out with like tons 1:10:39.990,1:10:43.950 of Technology and they have like a flat 1:10:41.850,1:10:46.110 screen on every wall and all those 1:10:43.950,1:10:47.430 things like we don't necessarily go into 1:10:46.110,1:10:49.050 their house being like oh you're an 1:10:47.430,1:10:51.180 idiot who buys all this stuff what a 1:10:49.050,1:10:53.430 stupid investment but I don't know what 1:10:51.180,1:10:54.540 it is about health and healthcare and 1:10:53.430,1:10:56.640 people taking care of themselves 1:10:54.540,1:10:58.620 everyone seems to have such an opinion 1:10:56.640,1:11:01.170 about that then they're just like oh 1:10:58.620,1:11:02.520 well you know ooh who would spend money 1:11:01.170,1:11:04.530 on that like why would you just go 1:11:02.520,1:11:06.240 through your insurance or oh well 1:11:04.530,1:11:09.150 shouldn't you be paying for your kids 1:11:06.240,1:11:10.860 camp and like you know and that's a 1:11:09.150,1:11:13.620 little selfish for you to like pay for 1:11:10.860,1:11:15.270 your your own health care so I find it 1:11:13.620,1:11:17.100 very interesting but at the end of the 1:11:15.270,1:11:19.170 day everybody values something different 1:11:17.100,1:11:20.910 and if you value your health and you 1:11:19.170,1:11:22.650 value showing up for your family and 1:11:20.910,1:11:24.750 showing up for your kids do not let 1:11:22.650,1:11:26.910 anyone tell you that you cannot invest 1:11:24.750,1:11:28.860 in it because that just really comes 1:11:26.910,1:11:31.950 down to their perception in their 1:11:28.860,1:11:33.840 opinion I also think that one of the 1:11:31.950,1:11:34.980 things cheer is we really forget what 1:11:33.840,1:11:37.290 health care is all about it's about 1:11:34.980,1:11:38.850 answers and solutions we are so used to 1:11:37.290,1:11:42.000 going used to going to the doctor and 1:11:38.850,1:11:44.010 getting no answers and then our solution 1:11:42.000,1:11:46.920 is usually the same it's some type of 1:11:44.010,1:11:49.380 steroid antibiotic or there is no 1:11:46.920,1:11:52.830 solution so it's really a matter of 1:11:49.380,1:11:55.050 knowing that we deserve to have answers 1:11:52.830,1:11:58.680 as to why we feel the way we do and why 1:11:55.050,1:12:00.450 are we not getting better and why do we 1:11:58.680,1:12:04.560 not get a customized personalized 1:12:00.450,1:12:06.900 approach to our bodies so when we are 1:12:04.560,1:12:09.390 doing our testing we do a variety of 1:12:06.900,1:12:10.920 different things but one of the big 1:12:09.390,1:12:13.050 things I've mentioned the bio resonance 1:12:10.920,1:12:14.880 scan this is a scan that looks down to 1:12:13.050,1:12:17.310 the DNA level this has the ability to 1:12:14.880,1:12:19.800 pick up on things that are often missed 1:12:17.310,1:12:21.540 through conventional blood work we are 1:12:19.800,1:12:23.430 doing very comprehensive blood work 1:12:21.540,1:12:27.170 everything from thyroid panels 1:12:23.430,1:12:30.330 autoimmune panels neurological mold 1:12:27.170,1:12:32.670 inflammatory markers a variety of 1:12:30.330,1:12:35.640 different things we look at heavy metals 1:12:32.670,1:12:37.560 minerals vitamins food allergies 1:12:35.640,1:12:38.790 chemical allergies environmental 1:12:37.560,1:12:41.310 allergies 1:12:38.790,1:12:43.590 my favorite is the autonomic response 1:12:41.310,1:12:47.640 testing so the autonomic response 1:12:43.590,1:12:50.280 testing we do not guess we test there is 1:12:47.640,1:12:53.370 nothing that we would recommend to you 1:12:50.280,1:12:56.490 that is not tested against your DNA of 1:12:53.370,1:12:59.280 your body so any supplements any herbs 1:12:56.490,1:13:01.230 any remedies any detox therapies any 1:12:59.280,1:13:03.900 physical therapies any dietary 1:13:01.230,1:13:07.170 recommendations these are all customized 1:13:03.900,1:13:09.900 to you based on your testing this is 1:13:07.170,1:13:12.720 really what I think sets us apart is 1:13:09.900,1:13:14.940 that we have the ability to really know 1:13:12.720,1:13:16.950 what your body needs which allows us to 1:13:14.940,1:13:17.880 get better results in a shorter amount 1:13:16.950,1:13:20.310 of time 1:13:17.880,1:13:22.010 which is really at the end of the day 1:13:20.310,1:13:25.230 what we're all looking for 1:13:22.010,1:13:27.330 so the onboarding process that we do 1:13:25.230,1:13:28.020 just so you know is a lot of people you 1:13:27.330,1:13:29.460 know they're like what are these 1:13:28.020,1:13:32.040 technologies like how did you hear about 1:13:29.460,1:13:33.720 these why do you use them and we've 1:13:32.040,1:13:37.440 honestly really customized our 1:13:33.720,1:13:39.570 onboarding process because I wanted to 1:13:37.440,1:13:41.670 set it up in a way that I can get better 1:13:39.570,1:13:44.340 information in a fraction of the time 1:13:41.670,1:13:48.090 but I also wanted to save people money 1:13:44.340,1:13:50.190 up front so that they could spend money 1:13:48.090,1:13:53.100 on the more important things which is 1:13:50.190,1:13:54.390 getting better because a lot of times 1:13:53.100,1:13:56.100 you call up different functional 1:13:54.390,1:13:57.690 medicine offices and they're like oh 1:13:56.100,1:13:58.890 yeah it's you know two three four 1:13:57.690,1:14:00.960 hundred dollars to come in for a 1:13:58.890,1:14:02.820 consultation but then you have to 1:14:00.960,1:14:05.610 complete a variety of different lab 1:14:02.820,1:14:07.800 tests that are gonna cost two three four 1:14:05.610,1:14:11.460 even up to five thousand dollars like 1:14:07.800,1:14:14.010 the eye genex Lyme test is actually 1:14:11.460,1:14:17.210 fifteen hundred dollars and that's just 1:14:14.010,1:14:20.040 for the Lyme it's not for any additional 1:14:17.210,1:14:22.950 co-infections so the lab tests think 1:14:20.040,1:14:24.420 it's very very expensive very fast so we 1:14:22.950,1:14:26.430 have all these custom technologies 1:14:24.420,1:14:27.900 because we're able to get pretty much 1:14:26.430,1:14:33.090 all of the information that we need 1:14:27.900,1:14:34.290 utilizing that so of course at the end 1:14:33.090,1:14:36.360 of the day for those of you that are 1:14:34.290,1:14:38.190 here and you're like holy crap like I 1:14:36.360,1:14:40.980 this is the first time I've ever heard 1:14:38.190,1:14:43.320 anything that makes sense and I actually 1:14:40.980,1:14:45.270 have hope you know depending on you and 1:14:43.320,1:14:47.130 your goals what you can achieve by 1:14:45.270,1:14:49.590 knowing what your body needs is 1:14:47.130,1:14:51.510 priceless so it's really really 1:14:49.590,1:14:53.610 important to know that 1:14:51.510,1:14:56.820 you can have answers and you deserve 1:14:53.610,1:14:57.659 answers so everybody wants to know what 1:14:56.820,1:15:01.019 is the cost 1:14:57.659,1:15:03.360 so our operating price is 1425 for all 1:15:01.019,1:15:05.010 of the things that I mentioned so those 1:15:03.360,1:15:06.449 of you new to this world you might be 1:15:05.010,1:15:08.340 thinking wow that's a lot of money I 1:15:06.449,1:15:09.929 totally get that some of you that are 1:15:08.340,1:15:13.920 not new to this world are probably like 1:15:09.929,1:15:15.090 wow that's cheap but overall this covers 1:15:13.920,1:15:16.590 everything that I mentioned it's gonna 1:15:15.090,1:15:18.630 be your blood work your initial 1:15:16.590,1:15:21.300 consultation you get three hours in 1:15:18.630,1:15:23.820 total with me you get a customized plan 1:15:21.300,1:15:25.440 from the nutritionist you are also going 1:15:23.820,1:15:27.090 to be getting heavy metal testing 1:15:25.440,1:15:30.420 mineral testing food allergy testing 1:15:27.090,1:15:33.119 toxicity testing literally you get so 1:15:30.420,1:15:34.409 much under this bracket normally all of 1:15:33.119,1:15:37.260 the things we test for would cost you 1:15:34.409,1:15:39.300 about six thousand dollars so even 1:15:37.260,1:15:41.940 better than that if if you came in with 1:15:39.300,1:15:44.070 a family member it would actually only 1:15:41.940,1:15:48.239 be five ninety seven for an additional 1:15:44.070,1:15:48.829 family member um what was I gonna say 1:15:48.239,1:15:50.999 about that 1:15:48.829,1:15:52.829 five ninety seven for an additional 1:15:50.999,1:15:56.130 family Morrow for the same exact testing 1:15:52.829,1:15:58.170 so with that we

definitely one of my absolute favorite 1:17:06.160,1:17:10.239 things to do I definitely was a bit 1:17:07.989,1:17:13.260 under the weather today compared to my 1:17:10.239,1:17:13.260 usual peppy self 1:17:15.440,1:17:19.700 myself tomorrow but um I just want to 1:17:18.410,1:17:22.010 let you guys know that you know I do 1:17:19.700,1:17:23.330 this to really be able to give you 1:17:22.010,1:17:25.160 information that you're not hearing from 1:17:23.330,1:17:27.440 other pieces and this really is more of 1:17:25.160,1:17:29.090 an educational experience but when 1:17:27.440,1:17:31.310 you're able to figure out what is going 1:17:29.090,1:17:33.440 on with your body and what your body 1:17:31.310,1:17:35.330 needs that's when this becomes a 1:17:33.440,1:17:36.890 breakthrough experience because it's 1:17:35.330,1:17:38.300 just you know I think the most 1:17:36.890,1:17:41.690 fascinating and fun thing that I do 1:17:38.300,1:17:43.550 every day is just being able to have 1:17:41.690,1:17:46.670 people sit there and be like holy crap 1:17:43.550,1:17:49.640 that makes so much sense like I've never 1:17:46.670,1:17:51.080 been able to understand my health the 1:17:49.640,1:17:53.330 way that you just explained it and 1:17:51.080,1:17:55.010 that's really what gets me super excited 1:17:53.330,1:17:57.470 and you know it's truly you know what I 1:17:55.010,1:17:59.600 love to do every day and and then 1:17:57.470,1:18:01.550 obviously being able to see people heal 1:17:59.600,1:18:06.350 when they've suffered for so long is 1:18:01.550,1:18:08.180 just the absolute best so um so I really 1:18:06.350,1:18:09.500 hope you guys enjoyed this definitely 1:18:08.180,1:18:12.110 check out our website if you're looking
