Just got back from my LLMD today for my 3rd visit and I have improved 20% since the first visit (8 months)

He told me that Bicillin injections are really starting to show good results in his patients. I believe a 68% success rate but the people he has talked to that improved felt like it was the most awesome ABX they had tried.

He also said treating with heat shows really good results. He said it can be very tough but if you can reach a body temp o 104 deg. for 10 mintues then it is catastrophic to the borrelia! People have been healed in less than a year doing normal "artificial" fever things like hot tubs, saunua, in frared, just make sure that your head stays cool.

The hydrcloric acid is also showing good results as well since he started doing it about mid way through this year... More and More cures are coming out. [Smile]

Some doctors think that Bicillin is equal to IV Rocephin.

However, Bicillin may not work on Bart. which is more devastating than Lyme.

Do you have Bart?

I am going to continue on the rifampin since it is causeing some power herxes followed by improvement. Next will be probly some more flagyl and the bicillin injections. He is also studying effectivenes of injecting IM antibiotics since IV antibiotics cause so many problems!

No 104 will not hurt you, the best way to do it is a sauna that just covers your body and not the head. You can put ice and a fan on your head while the rest of your body gets treated. The human body can reach a 106 degree fever and still no death but needs to be really watched.

It can kill. One person on the memorial page whose name I won't disclose because I don't want it being used against us died in her doctors office in his heat device of a massive heart attack triggered by the stress of it. He has since stopped using it. Her husband and family did not sue- they knew the risks of alternative treatments and were financially very well off.
They were not even mad at the doc, but it was clearly responsible for her heart attack. Her family wanted her added to the page as dying of undisclosed tx complication which they considered secondary to Lyme itself, the same way when someone fighting cancer for years dies oif a comp they say the person died of cancer.
But it does kill-

Borrelia have heat shock protiens that help protect them.
