There are a few negative people over there who attack anything they think is different. They have nothing better to do with themselves all day. It is rather sad.
You are better off ignoring them and consider the source. They are not well.

BTW, most of them are not from Europe. A couple were banned from lymenet for their hostile and abusive behavior and a few of their devoted followers went with them to Lymenet Europe.
But they can't quite draw themselves away from here. They keep lurking around here and then running to LNE to gossip and sneer. They are really pretty pathetic .
Don't worry, James, you are in good company. Several people who are well thought of here get smeared over there.

Some banned people from this forum post on Europe lymenet.
I live in Europe and I never visit Europe lymenet as there are barely anyone from Europe ther. I feel it's pretty dominated by the banned people.
You can write a complain to the board administrators, that's what happened before here, and they might take some measures against them.

I have NEVER been on Lymenet Europe. They must be a bunch of Low Life's, who find fun and entertainment in James work.
Lyme Net has GIVEN me the knowledge I need to fight this disease.
Please don't brand us all, as stuck up know it all's, as I know I have still much more to learn.

James don't worry about the fools over at LNE. They aren't even worth considering. Anyone who flames on sick people even if they them selves are sick is barbaric. Personally, I don't see them having much of a conscience, good will, nor virtue. They are tyrants of their own point of view.

hi James--
please listen to the advice everyone is giving you-- ignore what gets said over at "Lymenet Europe."
from personal experience i know there is no possibility of having a rational dialog with almost any of them (a few who still post here excepted).
to give you a flavor, the LNE folks have accused me of many things, my favorite being of conspiring to destroy and pervert Lymenet,this board.
I think the weirdness began because I went there to ask them to stop their ceaseless tearing down of TC, and I became a target of their odd wrath. They never seem to let go of that wrath or their targets..
So hey, word to the wise- save your breath. They aren't worth it.
hugs, dilly

Unbookmark it and don't read it.
That's what I did. I found some valuable info that had been posted there on Bionic 880 from a German site, but beyond that, when I read it for a few days, all new posts consisted of bashing posts from over here. If that is not the MOST unconstructive behavior I have ever seen. Even if I once liked some of those folks in their online personas, I don't think they understand how self-destructive and useless their activity is. They will rationalize that they are performing a public service that they were rudely banned from doing, a public service to prevent false, misleading, unscientific information about treatments from being promoted on "lymenut", but they are wrong. The reason they are doing it is they're still suffering and they are resentful they were banned, and so they've formed a little club of bashers. I was hoping I'd see good info and good posts there but I don't. If they want to become a solid, good resource for the type of information they think is valuable (on, say, antibiotic treatment) they should post on that. But they spend their time like a club of tittering highschool girls whispering about the clique they can no longer get into.
Of course, they aren't happy, they are suffering from lyme, so you can forgive them, but don't pay any attention to them.
Therefore, continue to post here. Don't waste *your* time reading what they write about you or you'll fall into their trap. I also find various yahoo groups valuable. Lyme-Aid Buhner is interesting, and also ProHealth (ImmuneSupport) has good info. Some smart info about mold toxicity there.

By the way-
I really hope that at some point the folks at LNE turn their focus on making the site the rich source for scientific and medical info its founder meant it to be.
I love Lymenet, and it is many things to many people, but IMO, it has never been organized or used in a way that made it easy to find purely scientific or medical resources here.

I have been following your posts with great interest, even though my time is real limited right now.
Whether your experiment works or not, you will gain some valuable information. As one experimenter to another, I appreciate you sharing your information.
My wife can not tolerate MMS due to stomach irritation, but most people can.
Everyone should be aware that your methods are experimental and if they are not comfotable using these methods they should not attempt to do so.
We still can learn a lot by following your progress. I hope you continue to post your results for my benefit and others.
Nothing notable is accomplished in this world without undue criticism. It just goes with innovation.
Thanks for the updates.

I left this board due to similar issues happening here...eventually they cleared it up and the harrassment sems to have ended...although I will say....just about everytine I start reposting here...those old ugly people raise their head on here.
In fact, I am surprised that some of these people are still allowed on this website.

James, I appreciate your determination to find a solution and applaud you . This is a " SAVE YOURSELF " disease , period . Everything is experimental. so I do not understand why so many criticize trying different approaches that are not life threatening .
Does MMS work on Babesia ? Can you explain MMS and where it can be found ? Thanks for your perseverence ! ann
If you want to really show them your method has validity, you need to take it to the medical community. Find a LLMD (seriously here- M.D. Not N.D. Not a "Provider". M.D. ) and have them confirm what you are seeing, AND be willing to take your cases to colleagues. I know you said that you had a specialist, but that person's credentials at both technical and clinical understanding of what they're looking at, could be called into question.
Edit: Also, have you considered tigecycline as an alternate efflux pump inhibitor?
Good luck to you.

I've visited Lymenet Europe a couple of times. They're all so high on their own cleverness. If you want a forum for out-of-the-box ideas to get better, LN Europe is less than worthless.
I think a lot of LN'ers would agree that cave76 getting banned from here was one of the best things that could ever happen.

Blackstone, The ND's in my State have the same training as an MD and MORE. They are allowed to write prescriptions for pharmaceuticals. They *are* part of the medical community. There are a number of ND's who are members of ILADS.
Of course, not all States are the same as far as requirements but perhaps you should consider this when you make a judgement about the credentials of ND's.
I doubt that most people here feel a need to prove anything to the members of LNE.
James - look at the source - LNE - enough said. They have no credibility in my view.

Your state is the outlier, certainly. In many (I would say most) states NDs are not able to write prescriptions for allopathic pharmaceuticals, nor are given DEA numbers. There are only 15 states currently (according to the Wiki -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturopathic_medicine) that "protect" ND as a title limited to individuals who have completed a certified program. Even fewer allow access to prescription medication. I'm sure that all those who pass through these accredited programs are worthy of becoming physicians, but in the unregulated areas there are many that ruin the name of the qualified NDs who are "on par" with MDs.
Also, I am speaking pragmatically as a member of the medical community - Since NDs are unregulated and un-certified in so many states and lets face it, there are many unqualified "alternative" practitioners making use of the title, it would make it harder for James to get his personal experiments public, if those overseeing them had questionable credentials. I'm not saying it is fair necessarily, or that James' specialist is unqualified, but unorthodox treatments are so easily dismissed as it is, and lots of good data will be lost on the general medical community if it isn't presented properly, "Getting all your ducks in a row", one could say.

Blackstone -- Some very good points about how to establish and why it is important to establish credibility. This is only important if we care about involving the orthodoxy.
I feel there is another avenue, one shared by Pam Weintraub when I asked about research and clinical trials, I can't quote her directly but my understanding is for all lymies to organize and do our own research. I think James is taking the first steps to getting us there.
I just saw my Doctor today and he uses ART to assess lyme levels. I have very little lyme left, his quote infintesimal. I tried Amazon C-F for the first 6 months of 9 months of treatment. It was my major lyme deterent besides MMS. I've been using MMS now for about 7 months. I believe it would have worked a lot faster with monolaurin, garlic and a good transfer factor.
To give you a relative view of my state of health. I played tennis these past two weekends 3 hours each day. I'm a lot better but not quite symptom free.
In my mind the best way to do a clinical study based on people who have to be monitored for over 6 months. I say we do it ourselves working with practitioners. We need to organize these efforts. This would also provide practioners information to help them as well.

I don't know anything about LymeNet Europe, nor do I care. What I do care about is checking this site every day for your updates. Please do not stop as the rest of us are desperately looking for answers and anxiously awaiting your findings. There's got to be a way to beat this and it's only going to happen through people like you who are determined and willing to take risks.

Bob (Lymie in MD) why did you do Amazon C-F rather than Spiro? I've heard Spiro is good and possibly considering it tho I'm not fond of mixtures as I may not tolerate one herb among a group.
Did you ever do abx?
Do you feel the MMS helped more than the Amazon C-F?
James, keep up the good work.

I'm reminded of Doug - the inventor of the coil rife machine. He and his family were horribly ill from Lyme disease. He actually wrote out a last will and testament because he thought he was dying.
But you know what else he did? He used his brain and realized that currents and frequencies could kill viruses and bacteria. Since he had a background in engineering, he realized that he could probably build a machine that could send these frequencies through the human body.
Sounds like a longshot right? But he did it anyways. He built a machine and then went out and got a microscope and a friend in a lab was able to get a petri dish of Lyme spirochetes. They veiwed the spirochetes through the microscope and ran the machine. It killed them. Shattered them actually.
While testing the machine on the 'chetes in the petri dish, he inadvertantly "treated" himself and experienced a massive herxheimer. That's when he knew that it worked. He went on to treat and cure his Lyme disease and his family's as well with his machine.
That's amazing! Innovative! I'm sure there were people that thought he was out of his ever loving mind, and had he listened to the naysayers, we wouldn't have rife machines today...and many people, including myself use them, and with success too.
Keep truckin James, I think you're on to something

I used to go there - there are (although it's been a long time since I've been there)some nice folks there but I noticed anything beyond antibiotic treatment is not well tolerated.
A few months ago I saw a post that said "if a Lyme doctor believes in Rifing are they considered an LLMD?" and they weren't being mean or sarcastic - it was a serious question.
I spoke of my parastite cleansing and it was suggested (in a very polite way I have to say) that maybe there was a reason that I had parasites and they may actually be good for me.
I just quit going because I like to learn about as many alternative treatments as possible. I've learned to "never say never" with Lyme.

o2babe -- My doctor prescribed Amazon c-f. When he tested me with ART he tested me for ABX, I didn't test well for it, so he tested for an alternative Amazon c-f.
Yes I did try ABX over a year before seeing this doctor, at that time I wasn't sure what I had. I had minor symptoms and I was prescribed ABX, amoxycillin. I felt better initially from 7 day course, but 4 days after finishing that course I got a lot sicker. Went back to the doctor and got a 14 day course of another ABX. Same thing, after finishing the course of ABX, felt better for 4 days and then got really sick. 10 days later went to the emergency room and my wife suggested I might have lyme to the Physician, so he prescribed a tetra-cycline for 30 days. I got better for the first 2 weeks but this time even before I finished the course, I really got sick, almost deathly sick.
I believe I was very susceptible to yeast.
I thought I had sooo many other things and it took a little over a year when I met Dr. B. and he said you have lyme, mercury, lead and yeast. His testing also showed I was very sensitive to ABX, he recently tested me again for doxy for something else and decided on an alternative.
I started MMS and had it tested. My doctor was impressed in how well I tested for it. This was around february.
Today I was tested with almost a non-existent level for lyme. So, I'm in the process of repairing any remaining damage.

o2babe -- It just seemed to me if you have symptoms enough, why spend a lot of money on expensive tests. Just start treating, diet, supplements, chellation, dental doing your own research.
I had all the clinical symptoms of lyme and doctor who energetically tested me for lyme. As well as an EDS done by a very good practioner who found lyme. It is enough for me. I trust the energetic testing for lyme by practioners, who I consider excellent, to be more effective then blood tests. Just my opinion.

Hi Bob,
I am one who really prefers testing. If you were just trying over and over again to get that elusive positive lyme test, I would agree. Don't waste your money.
But since clinical symptoms of many different sources overlap each other and the treatment for each source can be radically different, I think it is important to identify your source as much as possible.
For instance, lyme and yeast share many symptoms but abx for lyme actually encourages yeast, so the treatments are different.
My test results show many bacteria and parasites in addition to lyme and my doctor is dealing with each.
I'm happy to have the name of an enemy and a target to go after.
Luvs
Luckily, insurance has paid for most of my testing.

Bob, the real reason is that you may not have had lyme, and so your improvement on Raintree herbs and other modalities may be to a much less intransingent, virulent bacteria. Energetic testing, I think is valuable as a backup, but suppose you had some other viral infection or some other chronic infection, like chronic strep or something, and a candida infection on top of that because of abx. Then your situation wouldn't apply to those who have a more virulent, tested strain of lyme, and babesia and so on.
So though I am very glad you are feeling better, I have to rule out that you had lyme. Also, a number of lyme strains are mild and/or don't disseminate to the nervous system, making them easier to treat.

I find it insulting to suggest that someone may not have had Lyme simply because they relied on energetic testing. Would you say the same to someone in a wheelchair sick with Lyme that their doctor clinically diagnosed?
I just find it illogical to suggest that because someone is getting well that they may not have had Lyme to begin with.
