Lyme disease is a unique disease with many diverse symptoms. It is caused by infection from the spirochetal germ Borrelia burgdorferi, and its cousin germs Bartonella henselae, Babesia microti, and bacteria of the Ehrlichia species cause related diseases. These germs all have characteristics that are similar to the spirochete that causes syphilis, Treponema pallidum. Lyme disease is thought to be transmitted from the bite of a tick carried by deer (just as syphilis is transmitted by lice carried by rats). It has recently been found to also be transmittable in the saliva of other animals including pet dogs.

As with syphilis, Lyme disease has three distinct phases:

• Bite Phase: The patient may have a classic bull’s-eye rash (only seen in 25 percent of cases). Arthritis symptoms are common as well. The transmitted germs are exquisitely sensitive to antibiotics in this phase. In syphilis this corresponds to the classic chancre seen in the genital area.
• Latent Dormant Phase: The patient has minimal symptoms and seems to recover from the rash and arthritis.
• Full-Blown Phase: The disease returns in its full-blown glory as it attacks the nervous and immune systems with many diverse and varied symptoms and pains, including anxiety, fibromyalgia, GI disorders, heart and lung disease, and depressive states. This may include autism in children.

 Of interest is that Borrelia seems to selectively infect B lymphocytes, that key cellular part of the immune system that produces antibodies. Normal antibody (Western blot) tests may come out negative in the sickest Lyme patients. The only blood test of certainty is the PCR DNA test for Borrelia, which reveals whether Borrelia DNA is in the body. If so, Lyme disease is a likely diagnosis.

Nerve cells are most susceptible to Borrelia infection if the body is also poisoned by mercury. Many autistic children are found to have mercury toxicity complicating their Borrelia infections. The source of this mercury may be mercury-preserved vaccines and/or mercury-based dental fillings.

Treatment

 After the immune system is attacked, antibiotics have minimal effect. Despite this, infectious disease doctors treat this disease with as much as a five-part antibiotic cocktail administered orally and parenterally for up to several years running. These doctors claim good results. But it is the final phase where integrative medicine claims its best results and differs greatly from its allopathic counterpart treatment of massive administration of antibiotics.

Integrative treatment is based on detoxing the mercury and other environmental toxins and then recovering the immune system from its Borrelia and co-infection onslaught. Treatment steps are as follows. Desbio has additional extensive training for qualified practitioners.

1. Treat the patient with Smart Silver in sufficient oral dosing based on size of the patient. This helps kill the germs as they are released from bio-slime layers that coat blood vessels and mucous membranes. Usual dose is two teaspoons twice daily throughout treatment
2. Start the patient on Basic 6 Part Comprehensive Homeopathic Detox:
   1. Cerebromax+Spinalmax+Matrix Support: Ten drops each added to every liter of water consumed by the patient (1-2 liters a day for children and 2-4 liters a day for adults) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
   2. Detox I+ Detox II+ Detox III: Ten drops each added to every liter of water consumed Monday through Thursday.

CONTINUE these drops for at least 6 months.

1. Start patient on specific LYM  Detox drops: Ten drops each added to every liter of water consumed EVERY day of the week for at least 6 months
2. Start patient on DesBio Borrelia Series Kits: Kit 1 vials 1-10 every third day for month one; Kit 2 vials 1-10 every third day for month two; the next 1M series Kit weekly for ten weeks; and finally the next 10M kit one vial weekly for ten weeks.*
3. Add Mineral+ Energy (Energy Catalyst) drops as well throughout therapy: The Mercurious Corrosivus Content to Detox Mercury added to Detoxamin Suppositories every other night safely Detox  heavy metals without resorting to a DMPS product for mercury elimination.
4. Put patient on Equilib (powder in children, capsules in adults) to restore the brain and nervous system to balance and normal function as the nervous system has germs, antibodies, and heavy metals eliminated from the system. This also adds back needed minerals and other important nutrients that a patient requires. This very complete nutrient formula is geared to the needs of patients with compromised nervous systems.
5. Consider adding Homeopathic Chemtox or Addiclenz to eliminate environmental chemicals, drugs, and pesticides from the delicate nervous system tissues to make detoxing complete.
6. Put patient on Equilib (powder in children, capsules in adults) to restore the brain and nervous system to balance and normal function as the nervous system has germs, antibodies, and heavy metals eliminated from the system. This also adds back needed minerals and other important nutrients that a patient requires. This very complete nutrient formula is geared to the needs of patients with compromised nervous systems.
7. Consider adding Homeopathic Chemtox or Addiclenz to eliminate environmental chemicals, drugs, and pesticides from the delicate nervous system tissues to make detoxing complete.
8. Use appropriate Ozone and/or Blood Ultra-Violet Anti-Oxidant IVs.
9. Use Appropriate High Dose Vitamin C IVs and/or JW Meyer IVs to the anti-Oxidant therapies.
10. Use appropriate EDTA IVs when heavy metal load is severe.
    
    *There are separate Series kits for each of the Lyme co-infections. They would ideally be tested for by using proper testing methods like Kinesiology or properly programmed EAV equipment like Zyto.

This is a complete, well-thought-out protocol that safely treats patients without resorting to side-effect-laden antibiotic therapy.
