I have just participated in the first day (9 hours) of Dr. Klinghardt's Conference on Neurotoxin Mediated Illnesses. I have to say that it has been truly amazing and enlightening. Tomorrow is a 13 hour agenda!!
Most of the conference attendees are doctors and practitioners. The information being presented is very detailed and it really helps to understand some of these topics in further detail.
I have the distinct honor of meeting several people today at the conference including Dr. Klinghardt and Lymenet's very own GiGi. I found Dr. Klinghardt to be an incredible person that clearly does what he does because he cares about helping people. His knowledge in the LD arena is immense.
I also have to say that GiGi looks incredibly healthy. She has gone through LD and is now well - I have seen it with my own eyes. She looks great and she is hard to keep up with...
It will take awhile to work through all the information provided and determine what changes to my current protocol are warranted. I believe there will be several. Will certainly share those thoughts after the conference.
Definitely a great experience.
Best

How cool that you are there! One of the naturopaths in my town is attending. My hat is off to him for making the effort to learn about Lyme disease.
I look forward to your posts upon your return. Thanks for updating us while you are there!

I absolutely will summarize the points that I found of interest and provide some details.
One quick note - Dr. Klinghardt utilizes many of the herbal options that are discussed in Buhner's book. Will provide more details later.

Thanks so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us. I look forward to the details.
Inspiring to hear about Gigi being the picture of health. It seems like such a long journey and it's nice to hear about someone who is well.

I am sure GiGi will have lots of new information to provide as well. She is amazing. She is an inspiration and a reminder that we all can get well with the right course of action. I've now seen it with my own eyes... Posted by Healing in Santa Cruz (Member # 7798) on :

Looking forward to hearing all the goodies you are learning. Take care Joyce
P.S. My Dr thinks very highly of Dr K.

The conference just ended and it was everything I had hoped for and more. It will take me several days to digest it all and create some notes to share. I get in late tonight and then have to work this week but will certainly document what stood out for me and I know GiGi is planning to share lots of information soon as well.
I was so incredibly impressed with ART testing. However, I think that the person doing it has to be a true healer. I have had it done by another practitioner that claimed to do it and it just didn't work. Watching Dr. Klinghardt do it to several folks first hand was amazing - he is amazing - a true gift.
Today, I was able to do an ART session with an ND that used to work with Dr. K directly for about two years. I learned so so much including the fact that my glasses caused my nervous system to disregulate because of the metal they contained. Certainly not going to make or break a treatment (or so I hope), but it is another piece of information that I will certainly look into.
That said, I think significant value comes from tailoring the remedies/herbs, etc. using ART. I know see firsthand why GiGi has been such a strong proponent of ART. Even with my background and advocacy of EDS, Vega/Voll, etc., ART is truly in a new dimension. However, even if ART is not possible, many of the treatment options that Dr. Klinghardt recommends (many of which are not just for the infections and physical body), I think one can significantly benefit.
Alterative points of view were presented at the conference on antibiotics and conventional therapies which I employ as most of you know. I now feel even more committed to getting off of the ABX and ramping up my protocol based on Dr. Klinghardt's work. He is a true pioneer. I just can't explain it in words other than to say you have to experience Dr. K. live. Remarkable, brilliant man.
More to follow...

What's ART?
Posted by oxygenbabe (Member # 5831) on :
Good dfor you Scott. Ihope you and Gigi will both post extensively when you have a chance.
ART...Autonomic Response Therapy. It's an advanced form of muscle testing, from what I understand, that allows you to listen to the body telling you what it needs now. That's why Gigi often says, a substance would be okay for a while, and then the body would say no. She would test anything before she tried it. The body tells you the order in which to treat. And it allows you to work on emotional issues too.
Its a big question whether there is anybody here on the East Coast who does ART successfully. BUT I am interested in luvs2rides doc in Maryland. He's not doing ART but auricular therapy, a la Nogier's work I believe, and Nogier was a pioneer of this kind of thing. I am hoping to go to him sometime sooner or later (after I finish a project and have some time). I have a good feeling about him.
