therapy to medical practitioners for over 20 years he is the innovator of pro ozone therapy a method of rejuvenating degenerative degenerated joints using ozone injections he has published two peer-reviewed papers on the use of ozone in clinical medicine he is the founder of the nevada center of alternative and anti-aging medicine in carson city nevada which is devoted to the prevention and treatment of aging and age-related diseases by improving mitochondrial efficiency he has developed and pioneered the first method to measure mitochondrial efficiency in a clinical setting please give a warm academy welcome to dr frank schallenberger thank you well once again it's a pleasure to be with this group and so many people i know and it's just a great camaraderie great group thank you rich fisher for inviting me again and all the organizers for doing a marvelous job we've got some 300 people here how good is that also i want to be i want to thank thank them for putting jerry tennant on before me because he sort of set me up now he set me up there's just so many similarities between what he had to say and what i'm going to say so it's all working out exactly as i planned it let me see here now how do i get out of here um except for this part let's see okay we're going to talk about lyme disease but you know i think you'll see that i'm talking about lyme disease i'm really talking like jerry was in kind of general terms in a way about how to approach disease maybe how to prevent disease as well so uh it's the only only time i've given a talk where i had a crossout on the title successful treatment for chronic lyme disease i've changed that to syndrome i don't believe chronic lyme disease is actually a disease an infectious disease like most people think and i'm going to make a case for that and i'm also going to make a case for why that's so hard to treat because most people certainly pretty much every infectious disease expert out there thinks that chromochronic lyme disease does not exist why they can't find anything to treat it with despite they can find antibiotics to kill the supposed organism they can't finally treat it with so i think it's more like a syndrome so i'm going to make a case for that there is a difference between acute and chronic lyme disease there's a lot of differences acute lyme disease is an infection caused by an identified organism chronic lyme disease does not have any identified organisms characterized by it's also characterized by some clinical classic clinical findings you've got your classic bullseye rash you have acute like viral like symptoms and comes on rapidly it happens after tick bite it's pretty readily identified either they bring in the tick or you can do cute cute tighters for borrelia it's pretty easy to find and it's pretty much as far as i know close to 100 percent successfully treated with antibiotics different it comes on years after the infection now that's not typical of an infectious disease at all that's unusual it is not easily diagnosed in fact it's almost impossible to diagnose chronic lyme disease that's not typical of an infection it very well i want to say very rarely but i want to say that it does not usually respond to even the most aggressive antibiotic therapies i've seen patients come in and you've probably seen them too after one two years of aggressive intravenous multiple oral antibiotics and if they're any better at all it's just a little bit that's usually the case and i get that incidentally from many of the docs that use that therapy that's what they tell me um also unlike any kind of other infectious disease it mimics all kinds of other diseases it doesn't come as like the cute lyme disease here's your presentation that's what it looks like it's like a typical infectious disease this isn't like that it can mimic all kinds of other diseases and often people with chronic lyme are misdiagnosed i have to say that up until just even a couple years ago i didn't actually believe in chronic lyme disease i thought it was something else and and my my reason was based upon all and now that i'm a staunch believer and the reason i am i'll explain to you in a little bit uh but uh the reason i'm a star staunch believer now is is and now i'm worried about so many people out there that have been misdiagnosed and are getting treated inappropriately they've been misdiagnosed with other diseases which okay that's my point chronic lyme disease may be extremely common i for one i look back on my practice and i think i've i've missed probably thousands of people that have chronic lyme disease why again diagnostic tests are usually negative even in patients with known chronic lyme disease in other words we know they had acute lyme disease the titers look like they have chronic lyme disease the onset was close enough to attach that even with patients known like that the tests are more than 50 percent negative most authorities think that chronic lyme disease begins with acute lyme disease but less than half of the cases of documented crime disease a lyme disease report either a tick bite or a rash half of the documented cases don't even have any history of a tick bite or any history of a prodromal illness or anything to do with it so you could have a patient that just comes up with multiple sclerosis that diagnosis no history of lyme no history of living in an alignment epidemic area no history of dick by none of that stuff could be chronic lyme disease how do you know there's no way to diagnose it so if you start thinking about it you start understanding anybody that comes into my office with some weird stuff i better think that way most infectious disease ex specialist dang near every single one of them did not believe that chronic lyme disease even exists but it is common according to preliminary statistics just released in last year by the centers cdc centers for disease control approximately 300 000 new cases of lyme disease are diagnosed in the u.s each year people out there worried about ebola i think this is a lot worse than ebola this is about 10 times higher than the officially reported number of cases indicating that the disease is just vastly unreported of course it's vastly underreported how can you report something you don't even know what it is medical news today commented on that data presented at that conference and they said this agrees with the studies report in the 1990s that showed that actual number of lyme disease cases in the u.s was likely to be three to twelve times higher than reported so it's extremely there's a lot of diseases that present as a result of chronic lyme just multiple sclerosis spells palsy parkinson's chronic fatigue syndrome fibromyalgia als adhd dementia autoimmune diseases depression neurosis rheumatoid arthritis colitis bowel syndrome epilepsy chronic mole toxins the optic neuritis and add start thinking about this anytime you have those patients come in to see you with those mysterious cyclical or migrating symptoms the numbness that shoots throughout the body the shocking pains that show up here one day and here another day and then they're fine on the third day and then it does something else on the fourth day they're not mental cases i'm pretty much convinced um those those are probably chronic lyme they can be fairly mild so these can be can be fairly mild symptoms or they can be extremely debilitating even to the point of death i had a patient with chronic lyme die not too long ago from cardiac complications symptoms symptoms are all over the place muscle joint pain very common the neurological symptoms extremely common almost every patient i see has has predominance and neurological symptoms and that's important because the treatment in that respect is extremely important because you have seizures very common to see numbness tingling weird pains shooting throughout the arms of vibrations but those patients come and tell you they've got vibrations all over the place can be all the extremities throughout the body torso they often have impaired memory they it's very difficult to get history from them sometimes to keep them on point keep them on target it's really nice to have somebody else to come in with them so you can ask that person what's going on because a lot of times they they have a very difficulty telling what what they're going through tinnitus vertigo lightheadedness a lot of mood disorders can present they come along with this problem now rarely do i think that depression all diet cell chronic depression all by itself is chronic lyme but i will tell you for absolute sure that if you have chronic lyme the odds on you having some sort of mood disorder extremely common a fatigue is a hallmark insomnia incredible insomnia we see that a lot heart rhythmias and heart failure is pretty uncommon but they can happen low grade fevers the hot flashes the night sweats and at first you think it's hormones but then you realize there's something else going on here vision hearing problems swollen lymph glands chest pains palpitations uncommon jaw pain fairly uncommon testicular pelvic pains fairly common pelvic floor dysfunction can be chronic lyme disease migraines and headaches incredibly common so that almost always goes with the territory and often the entire workup is negative for any identifiable condition and the patients are typically told most patients are told it's all in your head i've seen patients who have almost all of these symptoms the pain the numbness the mental confusion the depression the migraines almost all of those problems the colitis almost all of those problems all the same time so they can be really messed up most of the people i see these days are chronic infections in quotes are not really infections i want to make the case for this chronic infections are not infections at least not in the way we think of infections you think of an infection as being something where a certain microbe causes a certain constellation of events you kill the microbe the events go away and the story that's an infection chronic infections don't act like that they generally don't respond to antimicrobial therapy no matter how much you throw at them they typically it doesn't work many completely asymptomatic people are infected with the same organisms that cause chronic infections in others it is so common like hpv human papilloma virus it's supposed to cause uh supposed to cause um cervical cancer in studies of carrying around hpv in their vaginas 78 percent 78 of women in this room they're carrying hpv now how many women actually end up with general awards or any complications hpv like very few so you can this is not an infectious disease uh and it won't respond to all that silly therapy they have out there that they directed hpv hcv hepatitis same thing hepatitis c exact same thing seventy percent of people that have positive hcv titers never go on to have problem one they have huge viral titers in their blood they never have a problem that's just not like an infection herpes cmv strep how many times have strep throat run through a classroom and what maybe twenty thirty percent of people kids run down with strep throat but happened to the other seventy it's just not an infectious disease the way we think about it candida and borrelia uh chronic infections become chronic because of an inability of the immune system to control the organism dr tenet was basically telling you this this last hour basically the repair systems are broken our bodies were designed with repair systems something breaks down we repair it we fix it it's not like gm motors breaks down you got to take it into somebody we actually fix the stuff as it breaks down it's an amazing design what happens when those repair systems don't work we don't repair exactly what dr kennedy said this is the issue this is the issue with quote chronic infections they're not really infections they're broken repair systems now how could that work it could it could be related to the organism's ability to evade the repair systems could be that some people say that there's some researchers at yale who say that there's residual proto proteins from the die off of the acute infection that stay in the body and that's what's causing the chronic lyme situation uh it gets complicated of course for the bug itself and exists in three different forms cis spirochete and eleform these forms can evade antibiotic exposure there are five subspecies of borrelia more than 100 strains in the us and 300 worldwide pretty hard to come up with antibiotics going to get all those many of these strains have developed chronic resistance so that makes it even harder and then there's all these co-infections there's lots of other co-infections so this just does not fit the model for chronic infection could also be due to faulty immune system that's your repair situation chronic reflex chronic infections create an autoimmune response it's my belief that all autoimmune diseases are caused by a quote chronic infection which is not an infection it's different chronic infections create multi-system imbalances that's why these lyme patients for example have all these weird things going on with all these different systems it's just not one thing you normally see with a regular type of infection co-infections it's just often too many to count if you if in the early days they used to test for antibodies to all kinds of things so all kinds of viruses just candida the whole deal parasites whatever and i noticed in the really sick people there like seventy percent of these antibodies were positive and i thought to myself that poor person can't be so lucky as they have like all these bugs turns out that's not the problem we all have the bugs except the ones that don't have the problem have repair systems that are working properly that's the difference it's not the bugs you can kill the bugs all day long won't do anything you need to have the repair systems that repair the damage done by the bugs now you got something going on of course antimicrobial therapies don't correct any of that stuff i just talked about so no wonder they failed you're shooting at the wrong target the solution i've learned is a comprehensive multi-phase approach similar to what dr tennant was just talking about you have to repair the repair systems once the repair systems get back in place patient gets better i i've treated many patients over the years for lyme disease and you know what i never did a very good job and i kept on thinking we'd do something but you know i kept on thinking it was an infectious disease i use ozone a lot i'll talk a little bit about that i use ozone a lot ozone kills just every microbe you put it under and so i thought you know this would be pretty simple i'll just you know give him a lot of ozone it doesn't work it doesn't work and that's one of the reasons i thought lyme disease doesn't exist because i don't exist if ozone doesn't work should be killing it but you'll see why here in a second see if i got this yeah okay so about oh six seven months ago at our at our annual american academy of ozone therapy conference uh dr david minkoff was there he presented uh uh three cases of chronic lyme disease that he successfully cured using a very aggressive approach with ozone but it was a whole lot more and that really opened my eyes he he heavily focused on the nutritional status of the patient he heavily focused on the gastrointestinal aspects of the patient he heavily focused on parasitic issues he focused a lot on heavy metals he focused a lot on stress mental attitudes you just like dr kenneth was talking about all these various factors he focused on all of them and he had absolutely astounding results and then you know i'm listening to him talking i'm thinking that's why i don't do anything i'm just thinking i'm thinking infectious disease i got to get my head out of that so i went home and i developed a a system that actually treats it as a multi-system disorder and no longer focuses on this whole idea of infectious disease in other words i'm not thinking about trying to kill microbes i'm trying to think about repairing the systems that are down that makes it unable for this person to heal well so you could throw the protocols out each case is individual because the repair systems that are broken and that person are okay in that person but this person's got different repair systems that are down and they might have some similarities but you can't just run it through a mill this doesn't work that way you got to actually sit down and spend an hour or two with the patient and figure out what's going in each individual case eventually comes down to seven seven issues that you can focus on this is what i'm focusing on some patients are going to require treatment almost every single one of these areas but here's the deal i've treated about eight nine now uh chronic lyme disease patients since that talk um these were serious cases because that's all i get uh but every single one of them had had antibiotic therapy most of them for years intravenous antibiotic therapy for years in many cases costing them over a hundred grand to do it because insurance doesn't typically pay for it that's how good the antibiotics were with these guys they were a mess every single one on disability okay every single one of those patients was well within four to six weeks with this protocol i'm a hundred percent okay so here's here's here's the approach immune system dysfunction obviously there's something wrong with the immune system they have all these autoimmune phenomena something's goofy focal disturbances we'll talk about that scars infections adrenal function huge absolutely huge i'm glad dr kenneth brought that out you don't fix that they don't go well in fact you miss one of these things they're probably not going to get well if you're treating a patient with chronic lyme and they don't get well within four to six weeks with this thing you're missing something that's my theory metabolism gigantic once again that's the thyroid issue but we'll talk more neurotransmitter imbalances i can't say enough about this probably that's pretty close to the top of my list here almost in terms of importance and yet most doctors don't have a clue about how to do this so we're going to talk about that hormones and then course toxicity and heavy metals so so these are the sorts of things i'm okay for immune system dysfunction what do we do i use ozone therapy ozone therapy has been shown to be absolutely remarkable in modulating and normalizing immune system therapy by modulating cytokines and also by uh in just a lot of ways so i'm not gonna even get into all that but uh i do encourage you all uh especially the dentist but any any practitioners treating patients if you don't know about ozone therapy you're not using this in your clinic you're not giving your patients your best i'm sorry but that's just the news you need to know about this so i invite you to come to the next aao meeting which is going to be the weekend after valentine's day there are some cards out on the table and i brought a bunch of my newsletters uh also too and the latest version was uh was there was some issues some stuff about the what we just had at our last convention so i recommend that you attend that and start learning about ozone therapy it's absolutely unbelievable uh you can do it as major auto chemotherapy recently we've been doing as direct injections of ob gap ozone gas right into the vein sounds pretty weird we're uh we're using a very aggressive approach with ozone so anywhere from 60 to 100 cc's of ozone gas at 40 gamma and then we're using it's in a very strange way too we're combining it with glutathione now in a way you might think well yeah the patient is going to be glutathione deficient so that makes sense but do you realize that if you talk to any ozone expert in the country internationally anyhow they'd say oh no you never mix glutathione with ozone you can't do that they counteract each other you never mix vitamin c with ozone they counteract each other they can't do that in fact on the day you get ozone you have you can't take any antioxidants you can't take beta-carotene can get the vitamin e this is just a principle it's bogus this just doesn't pan out clinically i'm sorry just doesn't pan out clinically i used to think that i have to change my waist because now i'm giving ozone with glutathione and seeing absolutely astounding results so we give them a thousand milligrams of glutathione right in the middle of the ozone application and we do that twice a day twice a day that's a lot that's aggressive in the morning in the afternoon bang bang bang not 12 hours goes by they're not getting hit with this procedure but that's not all that's just ozonating the blood we ozonate the colon a lot of diseases start in the colon a lot of issues a lot of the repair systems don't work because of problems in the colon that's not enough if you give ozone as a sauna it affects the dendritic cells in a way that's very immune stimulating so we use saunas we shoot ozone gas right into the rectum we call that rhozone you're gonna have fun with the words a little bit uh oh so you actually you don't inhale ozone it's very toxic that's the one thing about ozone you probably know this you just don't inhale it it's very toxic okay so ozone inhalation therapy means you bubbly ozone up through olive oil this creates vaporized terpenes it's not really ozone and you inhale these vaporized terpenes and it's absolutely remarkable for sinuses for pharyngitic issues and for lung problems and then you can take ozone and put it into the ears i really don't know why this works so well people just told me it did so i tried it and it does so i don't have a good explanation for that but if you came to my office you got your ears going you got your lungs going you got your rear end going got the blood going you got your skin going it's like when is this going to stop and your immune system will be highly regulated you will no longer get sick anymore uh jerry touched on the whole idea of focal disturbances which is really huge the naturopath will tell you 100 years ago all the diseases start in the gi tract i'm convinced that's true i also think mouth is right in there and sinuses are right in there and scars and and in the concept of scars is not just the surgical scars in the skin but the injuries uh so uh jerry with the break was talking a little bit about uh somebody that injured their knee when they were six years old and how he could see the constellation of events that ultimately you know caused them to have a disease later on in life so any kind of injury a lot of fibromyalgia cases a lot of them start with a whiplash injury this may be chronic lying a lot of your fibros may be chronic lyme so we're going to run through these okay so for gastrointestinal symptoms um you know candida is right up there so you know as far as i'm concerned everybody that sees me for any kind of chronic disease has a yeast problem so they all get treated aggressively for yeast for those of you that are doing this um i use terpenophene i don't use the standard medications because they just don't seem to work but if you haven't tried trebenophene try try benefiting 250 milligrams once a day for three weeks it's pretty remarkable i think a lot of the other medications like diflucan and so forth have the yeast bugs are resistant to these most of the time sorry say what everybody's talking at once what oh terbinipine thank you uh t-e-r-v-i-n-a-f-i-n-e uh once a day 250 milligrams once a day for three weeks zero carbohydrate diet by the way no none nada and you throw your probiotics in there anti-parasitic therapy uh dr simon yu has really taught me this and he has a very cool protocol for every full moon you for three days you give these anti-parasitic drugs they're entirely safe i've never seen a problem from them you knock the parasites out intestinal restorative therapy that'd be like your probiotics and such the ozone hydrocolonic therapy obviously very very influential on the gi tract i love colonics even without the ozone they're very very helpful to help people heal but with the ozone it's uh as you probably know bugs can hide under these films as much types of films and evade ozone evade antibiotics invade your own immune system so they hide you can't find them you gotta get rid of the biofilms ozone is an unbelievable way to get rid of biofilms so you're drinking ozone water you're drinking ozonated olive oil you've got ozone going up the other way uh you got ozone going in your blood you're knocking out the biofilms in the plaque and there's several really good herbal remedies amongst them hydrastus and oregano get the right tinctures of these herbal remedies a number the herbal companies sell really strong biofilms it might biofilm treatments it might take four to five months to get rid of the biofilm but here's the deal if you treat somebody for yeast and they get better as they will 100 right and then they come back three months later they got yeast you better be thinking biofilm that's why it's coming back you only got some of it and now it's coming right back again so think biofilms because the gi tract is broken down very often uh they have food allergies that are stimulating problems so you gotta figure out what they're allergic to take that out once they're well they can have the food back if you haven't used the blood type diet uh it'd be something for you to consider it it's what i say maybe it's 65 70 percent effective for almost any autoimmune disease without even doing the testing just find out what their blood type is and put them on the blood type diet so i would recommend that this is the approach we use for all the gastrointestinal sorts of foci for the dentals incompatible metals you know they generate currents and as you know now currents throw everything off um infections and all kinds of infections from periodontal to abscesses some of these medical doctors can treat sometimes you have to refer it out but if you're like me you can inject ozone and or blood treated with ozone and or serum treated with ozone into cavitations and around cavitations and gas all of that stuff you can do and you can clear up an awful lot of these abscesses bite disturbances and there's probably a lot of other things that dentists know about that i don't so you know basically i just you know send these people out for help on that uh but if you're a medical doctor or naturopath look in the mouth take a look around see what you got in there even if you don't know what you're seeing you can sort of figure out if something looks funny in there and send them out somebody knows about this stuff uh dr kenneth mentioned scars i would also add to that injuries and areas of chronic pain i think these are all foci they're very disruptive to the system uh you have a bad enough scar you have a bad enough chronic injury like a whiplash you don't fix that you don't get better it's that simple so you can uh usually by time patients see me they've already had the osteopathic chiropractic type of work prolozone therapy is pretty much a must you have to know this you can take away almost any chronic pain with prolozone therapy it's a mixture of neural therapy and ozone therapy and we teach that regularly and it's just astounding any of you guys that have used this you know what i'm talking about you'll take a person that comes into you with a chronic pain of 20 years duration maybe four or five surgeries later and in 20 minutes pains gone for the first time in their life and with repeated treatments it never i don't expect you actually believe that till you try it yourself but it is amazing neural therapy throw that into the situation and uh we have one of these pimp devices you know i rarely use it because provost on therapy fixes everybody all the time anyway but um but if you have one that's one of the approaches that you could do for scars you inject scars sinuses now keep in mind as we go through this a lot of these patients need everything i've told you that's why they get better you know you miss something you might miss it might miss your opportunity chronic sinus infections next to teeth first number one is the gi disturbances number two is the dental disturbances number three is the sinus if i have a patient with chronic lyme come in and tell me my gut is absolutely perfect i have absolutely nothing wrong with my teeth and i never get sinusitis i am really surprised it just typically doesn't happen sinuses are a big problem antibiotics do not kill sinus chronic sinus infections are never alleviated with antibiotics they're just worsened mayo clinic published recently proven 97 percent of chronic sinus infections are fungal they got nothing to do yes for some reason they get better when you give them an antibiotic i'll give you that but but you're not they could just come right back that's why they're chronic uh ozone when it's properly used in the sinuses 100 percent clear up chronic science infections once again um you can have patients that have had the chronic sinus issue for years and years and i'll fix them in a month and month and a half with repeated injections uh you can actually shoot ozone right up the ozone gas right up into the nose right into the nasal cavity you can take 20 to 60 cc's of ozone gas at 20 gamma put it in the nostril squeeze the nostrils shoot the gas right in there do it to the other side do that a couple few times unbelievable what's going to happen what's going to come out what's going to drain out and how well these patients can get even with severely chronic problems inhaled ozone therapy and once again that's the terpenes nebulized hydrogen peroxide this is not ozone but this is an absolutely astounding therapy you just take a nebulizer you put you you take a 100cc bag of normal saline you put five ccs of high grade pharmaceutical type grade of three percent in that bag so five cc's of three percent hydrogen peroxide in a bag of 100 cc's of normal saline and then you nebulize that you nebulize it for five minutes you can nebulize it for an hour and give the little babies doesn't it knocks out coals and fluids and that's so that's the practical aspect of it but it's also very helpful for patients that have you know issues with the sinuses in the back of the throat and the lungs and such anti-fungal medication if i'm going to go to chronic sinus thing you can bet they're going to be on yeast and turbinophene absolutely antifungal sprays uh you know this hydrastus does really well there oregano burns you've got to be careful uh and so there are certain things that you can in inject back into the sinuses that have an anti-fungal activity but you've got to clean the sinuses up your patient probably won't get better so i can't say enough about adrenal function um i've been doing this for over 40 years now and i can tell you there have been many occasions that i've had patients that have come to see me that have seen all the famous guys that you've heard about you know the really good guys all the really good docs have been around and they can't get the results that's why they're seeing me and i'll fix them in four weeks because these guys don't understand how aggressive you need to be with the adrenal glands in fact i have a victim how do you diagnose that your patient has an adrenal dysfunction you guys know how to diagnose adrenal dysfunction that's how you know people outside your okay so you need nutritional support basically i love these herbs ashwagandha cordyceps ginseng licorice in high doses vitamin c pantothenic and high doses liver extract and adrenal extract i like them so much i did like dr tennant and i put them all together in something i called adrenal factor which you could get for your own patients if you want to try them out just give my office a call this thing is just astounding i've you know i've produced or designed a lot of products in my life most of them never did anything they don't really work that great good ideas it just didn't work that great this isn't one of them this one works amazingly well so that's a routine for me to be on fairly high doses of those herbs the diet you know it's pretty simple this is not rocket science in this regard no stimulants okay no red bulls no coffee no decaffeinated coffee no nothing okay if they're on a lot of that stuff tell them to go out and buy some advil because they're going to be needing it for a few days when they stop and a low carb really really low carb no fruit no grains no sugar okay really important get the adrenals well god do that and then neurotransmitter therapy i'm going to touch upon this in a sec incredibly important by the way dhea gigantic doses sometimes autoimmune diseases almost every patient with autoimmune disease will respond to the hea from lupus to the hope the whole gamut but you've got to give a lot you might need up to 200 milligrams a day and hydrocortisone same thing you're going to need a lot these little two and a half milligram doses are not going to cut it for most people in fact almost nobody's going to respond at two and a half milligram dose you need to like pump it up so uh i don't it's uncommon for me to get up to 100 milligrams a day but you could easily get up to 30 that's pretty common 30 40 milligrams a day it's amazing i always check them with acths right just to see what's going on with the acth i don't want to really suppress it so i'll get their acth at a baseline it'll be like 32 i'll give them 20 milligrams of hydrocortisone check it again it's 32 i'll give them 30 milligrams of hydrocortisone check it against 32 in other words their body's sucking it up they're not suppressing anything they need it oh yes and by the way within about four or five days of giving it to them you're a hero all of a sudden you're a genius lots aches and pains lots of problems go away when you address adrenal function aggressively metabolism i'm huge on metabolism published quite a few papers on it have some patents on devices that measure metabolism and everything everybody comes in my clinic i check their metabolism using an oxygen uptake system and guess what because how many people whole one never seen anybody with cancer of any kind even a lumpectomy type of cancer and i'm not talking just a stage force have a normal metabolism this is exactly what dr ken was talking about he's talking voltage he's talking metabolism that's where you get your voltage your metabolism okay so um yeah nobody has a normal normal metabolism but that gives you a nice objective thing that you can look at and then start to administer therapies for i've tried all kinds of nutrients over the years to bump metabolism besides the obvious things like amphetamine uh and coffee and red bulls and stuff the only thing nutritionally that i have found that will do that is b vitamins so it's routine for me to give my sick patients the myers cocktails just loaded with b vitamins and some magnesium that's something all my chronic lyme patients are going to get probably twice a week i think it's really important uh oxygen therapies uh dr kenneth mentioned these things exercise is number one of course most these people can't exercise they'll not have any exercise tolerance which is part of the problem in terms of prevention you guys just stay in tip-top cardiac shape you know how many patients i've seen that are in tip-top cardiac shape they get sick how many patients you've seen they're like in awesome shape you come to your office and say i got lyme disease now unless they're over training that just doesn't happen so keep yourselves in really good shape uh you can do exercising with oxygen therapy that can be really handy you can do hbo like dr kenneth does this can be really handy thyroid is huge and forget the tests do not if you're diagnosing any actually you're diagnosing any hormone deficiency with the test you're behind the times tests are useless why because everybody's so different and because with the test you're only measuring the hormone you don't know what's going on with the receptor that's a whole other deal you don't have a clue so forget diagnosing any hormone status by a test it's a clinical diagnosis if they're clinically low in thyroid you give them thyroid now with me i get to measure metabolism thyroid causing thyroid regulates metabolism so if their metabolism is low guess what i give them enough thyroid and i keep rechecking their metabolism and i keep pumping it until i get normal metabolism that might be at three or four grains of thyroid you probably never think of doing that but i do it because i can measure the metabolism and see the effect and my patients will get well then so thyroid and dhea those are two partners by the way they work really well uh the adrenals low carb diet drugs i've got a cool slide to show you on drugs this comes from mitoaction.org it's a table of reported drugs with mitochondrial toxicity get ready to have your minds blown this is all in the literature i don't know if you can see this but um so you got anti-convulsants valproate and then over here this is the action over here this is the symptoms these are all mitochondrial these are published black labeled mitochondrial suppressants mitochondrial means it suppresses your voltage it suppresses your mitochondrial function how about the antipsychotics guess how many of my lyme patients are on antipsychotics just about all of them got antidepressants all of them okay so all the spaces come in on their antidepressants got your antipsychotics your barbiturates anxiety medicines you got your all your goblin medicines all praise the lamb etc they're on all this stuff by the way no wonder they're not getting better the meds are poison half of statins are just a gigantic mess and that includes the bile's equestrians as well they're all a mess they're all mitochondrial inhabiters that's pretty long list right it's not all of it hmm oh antibiotics antibiotics are mitochondrial suppressants any reason why my paper can you start to see a little bit while my chronic lyme disease patients don't get well when they're on five of these drugs you gotta get the drugs out of there diabetes med diabetes medicine's metformin whoops uh metformin beta blockers immunizations antiviral drugs uh antiretrovirals uh all of course okay so that's just a ditto on that i love this quote sir william osler is considered to be the father of modern medicine all my conventional colleagues out there that's our guy when i first do these of the physicians to educate the medic so one of my first jobs as a doctor is to get you off your darn medicines now fortunately a lot of people that come to see me come for that reason i saw a guy the other day he came to my clinic uh just an old guy's walking like this and his daughter came with him to speak for him and said you got you got to get him off his medicines they put him on these medicines this guy's like a zombie so think of it get them off the darn medicines it's one of our first duties that's what you have to do there's a bunch of mitochondrial nutrients i'm not going to go through all these because i don't have that much these are the ones that i found to be very helpful and you guys have the slides right so it's on there uh okay i'm gonna just make sure i get this one out neurotransmitter therapy absolutely indispensable until i put this in nobody got well that's how indispensable it is that's thing number one thing number two neurotransmitter testing complete waste of your time if you're checking dopamine levels serotonin levels and i don't care what you're checking whether you're checking platelets you're checking whole blood you're checking urine i don't really care absolute complete utter waste of time they don't help you a high dopamine level does not mean they have too much dopamine it might mean they're deficient i don't have time to go through this but it's a biphasic curve too little shows up high too high shows up high they're useless how did i figure that out because i did them for about two years i figured this is useless it never does anything and then marty hinz came along about three years ago and he taught me why they're useless so there's a reason why they're useless i highly recommend you uh take uh hinz's course on neurotransmitter therapy it has done more from my practice probably than any single thing i have ever learned shy at ozone and agreements absolutely amazing stuff and there's the websites neurosupport dot com he gives regular seminars he's only published about like 10 peer reviewed papers that's all amazing stuff his whole protocol is built around three things tyrosine 5-htp and l-dopa it's pretty darn amazing what you can do with these and once again you have to think of this uh also think of metro methyl tetrahydrofolate that can be incredibly important for these neurotransmitters as well remember that every time a neurotransmitter interacts with a cell membrane it requires a methyl group methylation incredibly important and then finally uh something that has just blown my mind now and that's that is this neurobiotic feedback system it's a system that you put electrodes on you get readings on an eeg monitor and then the electrodes inject a current back into the head the um the computer reads the changes in the eegs as a result of that current then modulates the current and another current is injected and it does it like 60 times a second it's a completely passive treatment patient just sits there while you get this treatment for 20-30 minutes absolutely amazing i could tell you stories you wouldn't even believe uh but i don't have the time so uh the iss uh is a is a it's a brand new stuff it's it's new new new computer programs it comes it's based upon the lens lens procedure so there's lots of lens practitioners out there so you can look that up i think it's lensproviders.org or something like that uh isis is just one point ups the lens procedure and uh that's a brand new thing uh next month's newsletter that i'm writing will have a complete description about iss because they're just starting to come out i've been using for about a year i got lucky uh starting to come out here on next year hormonal therapy like i said forget the test hormonal deficiency is a clinical diagnosis men testosterone dhea women i'm going to have to run through this a little bit fast because i'm getting down there in fact i'm over melatonin gigantic doses of melatonin do not be afraid of melatonin you do not suppress the pineal doses of melatonins you can go all the way thyroid hydrocortisone toxicity the heavy metals especially mercury that's the worst one there's no doubt about it we routinely on all my lyme patients going to do a calcium edta d uh not dmsa dmps that's what i do do nps challenge test we routinely do a uppa and between those two we figure out what's going on if there's something going on we'll either use those chelations uh or we use the quicksilver detoxification method and i think chris shade is here doing some kind of workshop and of course you know avoidance dental cleanup fish you know what are the only two seafoods that really don't have any mercury in them get this crabs and shrimp now i don't happen to like crab or shrimp but maybe i like it more because it's the only one out there that doesn't have mercury some fish especially the larger ones like sharks and you guys probably know this uh i have the most of the mercury there's a lot of mercury out there and that's it for me and i pretty much did it on time i'm gonna be around this afternoon also i have to thank you i i forgot to make my well i do have a financial interest in one of the products i talked about that would be the adrenal product i have a financial interest and that's my product i don't think i talked about anything else uh that i have a financial interest in uh in with any company or offering grant monies for this continuing education dental and medical education program so with that thank you very much for your attention appreciate it have a good rest of the conference thank you dr schaelenberger i have some announcements real quick
