In researching Sulfoxime and Dioxychlor mentioned in his letter, I found another by him that is equally good and interesting.

**Excerpt**
"There is a legal concept that is widely appreciated by physicians as a way to avoid lawsuits. This concept is you are at risk if you are using treatments that your colleagues are not using. Naturally this impedes change!

In the light of all the negative influences mentioned above it is not
surprising that so few M.D.s and other practitioners have embraced natural therapies. However, truth always dispels darkness and lies. When the general public learns that most oncologists would refuse to take chemotherapy if they developed cancer fewer persons will consent to this dangerous therapy.

My guess is that fewer than one infectious disease specialist in a hundred has ever heard of Sulfoxime and Dioxychlor. These two remarkable antimicrobial substances are very effective in eliminating systemic fungal infections, mycoplasma, yeast and anerobic infections without side effects and at minimal cost.
Their developer, Dr. Robert W. Bradford, will probably never be invited to speak at an infectious disease seminar as dissemination of news about Sulfoxime and Dioxychlor would have an adverse effect on antibiotic sales."

1. the q-rib test is only used at bowen and is still not a 'recognized' test. it is deemed 'experimental' and costs are considered a 'donation' to bowen labs.

most bowen tests, from what i've gathered anecdoteally, are positive (either everyone's blood sent there has lyme or high false-negatives, both are possible).

the test may be a helpful adjunct but not good enough, yet, to be used as a primary diagnostic tool.

2. from my own experience, though my doc insists on continuing, is that prima una de gato from allergy research has had no benefits for me. it has helped other patients of his (he says).

3. the transmission theory is almost impossible to prove at this point and should be thoroughly studied.

i know a lyme patient who was in a multiyear remission only to relapse when pregnant. her child, now seven, has autism.

i also know a school teacher who has two brothers in her special ed class with learning dissabilities. the father, not mother, battled lyme for many years.

my mother has a friend of friend whose child has had lyme since birth. the parents have never been ill with lyme (dormant infection?).

it would be a great benefit to REALLY investigate this. it wouldn't be an expensive trial because no drugs would be involved only polling and blood tests.

4. lyme may penetrate blood supply. blood donation drives do not screen for donors who have had documented lyme infections.

additionally, considering the testing is so elusive someone who may have lyme though not knowing, can pass the bb infection into the general public supply. ouch!

i spoke about this with my nurse this morning as it related to iv immunoglobulin therapy (re:newsweek article).

the nurse's daughter had lyme at 14 and was on abx for four years. she just had a baby girl who is very healthy but the mother is having some 'symptoms'.

the nurse hoped it wasn't a flare up and is watching her. she hasn't done abx as she is still breastfeeding.

albeit i still haven't heard, yet, of someone getting lyme through blood transfusion though i don't disclaim the idea. danger mr. robinson!

5. i post too much... later....
 

At one point I was the editor of Julian Whitaker's Health and Healing newsletter. He is a prominent doctor and pioneer in holistic meds. The Townsend Letter was one of our biggest competitions.

It simply states the age-old argument of holistic versus conventional methods to cure lyme, the answer to which, as we all know, is not out there.

Dr Whitaker's newsletter told his patients to use only supplements and herbs to heal diseases, which can be a good thing in some cases. But I eventually quit the job because I felt there was a conflict of interest there.

The vitamins and supplements he told his readers to use were made by his own company and believe me they made a fortune off those products.

I have a holistic doc myself in addition to treatment for lyme at J. clinic. But he does not push products that he mades money off of.
Holistic medicine is often far more educated than conventional and progressive. But be careful of those scams when they are pushing products they will benefit from financially.

Just some adivce from experience.
