A friend of mine, Steve Tvedten, is a world renowned expert in IPM (Integrative Pest Management). He wrote the HUGE tome on pest control that you can get here for free. http://www.thebestcontrol.com/ Today, June 25th 2016, I received the information below in an email from Steve, about his new book on Lyme. I have NOT read the book (yet) so I cannot tell you my comments on it, but the discussion about the politics is very accurate so I will start this section by letting you read his email-
My latest book on healing Lyme Disease is now live here: https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Disease-Naturally-Stephen-Tvedten-ebook/dp/B01G3T768K?ie=UTF8&keywords=lyme%20disease%20tvedten&qid=1464115167&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Lyme disease, do you really have it? If you do, you probably would not even know – unless you are one of the chronic Lyme sufferers that have had to visit over 30 doctors to finally get a proper diagnosis. Lyme disease tests are highly inaccurate, often inconclusive and/or indicating false negatives. Lyme disease can mimic other disorders such as multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and even Alzheimer’s disease. When Lyme isn’t detected in the early stages, it becomes Chronic Lyme, a condition which the CDC and IDSA both deny even exists. They will continue to deny it, because if there is one thing insurance companies hate, it is chronic disorders they have to spend time and money treating. Therefore, a panel with ties to insurance companies gathered to write up official Lyme guidelines that assure patients are only allowed a few weeks of antibiotic treatment and are not to be diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease (even if clear symptoms persist and invade their nervous system). Over half of the panelists who wrote the IDSA Lyme guidelines announcing that Chronic Lyme is not “real” — including the panel chairman — have obvious conflicts of interest including financial interests in drug companies, diagnostic tests, and patents, as well as consulting agreements with insurance companies. Researchers and scientists with evidence in support of Chronic Lyme disease were intentionally excluded from the panel. Because of these unjust Lyme guidelines, insurance companies have the “right” to deny you coverage for your treatment of long-term Lyme disease. Doctors have even lost their practices for successfully diagnosing and attempting to treat Chronic Lyme disease.
People who wish to protect themselves against Lyme disease may need more than just the occasional insect repellent spray to ward off ticks. A new study suggests the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi — the cause of Lyme disease — may be a contagious illness, sexually transmitted between partners. The study was presented at the annual Western Regional Meeting of the American Federation for Medical Research, and an abstract of the research was published in the January, 2014 issue of the Journal of Investigative Medicine. This new study revealed that Lyme disease is now almost twice as common as breast cancer and six times more common than HIV/AIDS. Currently, there is no (effective) vaccine for this invisible illness which contributes to the increase in the number of reported cases per year. While there is always a risk of getting Lyme disease in the woods from a tick bite, there may now be even a bigger risk of you getting it in your bedroom. The transmission from person-to-person is and has been an idea refuted by the CDC who beLIEves Lyme is solely transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick. (Note: The CDC Foundation now has a large number of partnerships with Big Pharma companies, including Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and Sanofi-Aventis. The CDC Foundation also partners with the Coca-Cola Company. According to the CDC Foundation, partnerships are only accepted with “Corporations whose goals or philanthropic interests align with CDC’s work…” In what way do Coca-Cola’s goals align with those of CDC? The CDC is in the business of trying to improve the public’s health. Coca-Cola is in the business of trying to market and sell sweetened soft drinks that contribute to the obesity epidemic. The CDC presumably favors school nutrition improvement. Coca-Cola has opposed virtually every piece of state legislation to improve school nutrition. The CDC presumably wants to decrease the consumption of sugar-laden soft drinks. Coca-Cola is working to sustain the sales of its sweetened soft drinks.) If you really want to find out who is guilty – “Follow the money!”
At one of the Lyme disease medical conferences, one presenter made the statement that he had never met a patient who had suffered from chronic Lyme, who had been cured by antibiotics. All of the people he had interviewed who had been cured of chronic Lyme, had worked with holistic professionals with diet, herbs and special products over a long period of time because the antibiotics had only given them temporary results. I have also found this to be true. If someone finds out they have Lyme soon after being infected, then the high dose antibiotics may eliminate the spirochete and effect a cure, but if they have most likely already been infected for many months or many years then it seems that the antibiotics simply cannot get to all the locations they are now living in, in order to kill them all.
Considering that I have found it is taking a bare minimum of 18+ months of using anti-Lyme products daily when I work with a Lyme patient, it is not at all surprising that a few weeks or even months of sporadic antibiotics just doesn’t cut it and only knocks them back temporarily.
Please note that This Lyme area of my web site is not meant to help you treat yourself, since this rarely works (with one exception which I will go into later on the use of Rife Frequency generators.)
Over and over again, my Lyme patients need their doses adjusted and their anti-Lyme products changed and then changed again as the spirochete must become resistant to the current product in some way. Only infrequently does a patient remain on the same anti-Lyme products that they tested for at the start of their therapy.
As you kill off any kind of pathogen, especially parasites, you can massively overload the body’s detoxification pathways causing huge detox (Herxheimer) reactions unless adequate and continual super high quality liver and kidney support is being done daily by the patient. The “detox” reaction is the body SCREAMING – SLOW DOWN, You’re HURTING ME! A Far too many less knowledgeable health practitioners do not understand this. They tell their patients it is a Good Thing and simply indicates that what they are doing is working and killing the invaders. WRONG!. That would be like saying that if you start to clean an extremely dusty room with a vacuum cleaner, and the dust that is stirred up by the air movement from the vacuum makes everyone in the room start coughing horribly and having trouble breathing, it means you are doing a good thing because the room is being cleaned. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. It means you are cleaning the room too rapidly for the method being used, period. I always teach my patients how to adjust their doses so as to avoid reactions, or to “hit” the lowest reactive dose of a product VERY GENTLY and then reduce it to the highest non-reactive dose. Overloading your detoxification organs and pathways by going too fast due to being in a hurry, will actually slow down the total process time.
Although I currently utilize over a dozen anti-Lyme products, there is a device which has shown itself to be very helpful to many Lyme sufferers. The device is called a Rife machine. If you wish to learn about what this is and how it was developed, here are some good places to start.
The Cancer Cure that Worked A great book by Barry Lynes. And www.RifeVideos.com and www.Rife.org are two of the better more accurate web sites about Rife and his history. There are many people on the web who sing the praises of Rife machines having finally helped them with their condition. The problem and it is a gigantic problem, is how many companies who want only your money, are selling bogus machines that do not do what they claim. There are currently people in federal prison for selling Rife machines, here is one I know of http://www.rifewiki.org/wiki/Jim_Folsom_Trial
Do I believe that there are Rife machines which work, which produce the exact frequencies they claim to produce and which have helped many people to greatly improve their health or even to cure various conditions? Yes I do believe this.
Do I believe that most of the machines on the market are NOT doing what they claim and are a complete rip off? Yes I believe this as well.
I have no connection whatsoever with any device manufacturer and I receive no commission of any kind when anyone purchases any of these machines. I do not and will not sell them as I do not wish to get the Fed’s mad at me or I won’t be able to continue to help all the patients I treat for numerous conditions. I will however mention, that based on discussions I have had with experts I trust (Physicians and engineers) there are two which are most likely in my view to be legit. These two are the www.thegb4000.com and the units from Pulsed Tech http://www.pulsedtech.com/about-us/ Again, let me stress that I AM NOT recommending that you buy and use one of these companies machines any more than I am telling you to buy a Honda or Toyota automobile. I am simply saying that like those two brands of cars, those two Rife companies I believe are making good machines that produce the frequencies they claim to be producing.
I sincere hope that sometime in the near future, a wealthy open minded individual with a good heart maybe a Warren Buffet type person (certainly NOT Bill Gates) will have their life saved by a holistic practitioner and will fund some good research into Rife technology.
