You’re probably not going to cure your damn lyme disease, candida, parasites or whatever infection, the way you are going about it.
Let’s look at lyme. Just because you test positive for lyme infection doesn’t mean that is the main cause of your health problems as most experienced alternative health practitioners will tell you as you can see on You Tube.
“It’s not the bug it’s the terrain” of the whole body Antoine Bechamp stated over a hundred years ago in his rivalry with Louis Pasteur the father of pasteurization and germophobia who later supposedly conceded the point on his death bed.
Infections are largely opportunistic: you have to be weak for infections to become a chronic problem.
Infectious diseases are over-emphasized in the dominant medical paradigm because it is safer to blame nature than the many toxins created by medicine, dentistry, industry and agriculture.
It’s also easier to focus on one thing, but it’s lazy.
Alternative models of chronic disease are also extremely weak.
Medical Paradigm and Infection
Persons with chronic illnesses who have been diagnosed with lyme face a crucial choice between two paths: the medical paradigm and a holistic lifestyle and environment paradigm. The medical paradigm is the default paradigm through which people make health decisions. The holistic paradigm is more complex and less completely defined with practitioners and even the most advanced health consumers typically being on the fence between the two due to a lack of clear available definitions.
The medial paradigm is represented by money “lyme literate” doctors. These are the docs taking you down the rabbit hole of lab tests that split hairs about which forms of lyme and related bacteria you have. People are easily fooled by scientific lab reports because they don’t have theoretical frameworks to evaluate if the right questions have been asked. The treatment is typically antibiotics and the lyme patient will be lucky to get out of this treatment half alive. Some respond well, at least temporarily, but many end up far worse than the original problem.
The failure and relapse rate for lyme infection treatment using antibiotics alone is about 100% according to Dr. Richard Horowitz, the doctor who has sold more books on lyme than anyone, including, “Why Can’t I Get Better?”
Lyme literate but body illiterate.
These failures are the first clue that toxicity is the bigger issue: from the antibiotics themselves, heavy metals, chemicals like glyphosates, and the escalating amount of EMF, electro magnetic fields or radiation, and radio frequencies from all electrical gadgets, wires, cell phones and towers, smart meters and the new G5 taking it to monstrous levels. This is what weakens the whole system of the body and the immune system.

Lack of Quality Health Solutions
Well known doctors like Richard Horowitz and Dietrich Kinghardt have insisted the lyme bacteria infections cannot but seen in isolation from other coinfections, toxicity, nutrition and emotions, and provided much good information. Yet they still do not address these systematically enough and have relied on antibiotics. Dr. Klinghardt admitted that antibiotics have become increasingly ineffective.
Incomplete understanding of the new paradigm of health is what accounts for the lack of quality solutions for chronic health problems with people wasting their money on things that don’t work, or partial solutions at best, until they are broke, can’t work and stuck in a hell that no one understands. Even family members blame chronically ill people for being sick or not really being sick and just tell them to get a job—revealing themselves to be the monsters that contributed to them to being sick in the first place.

Truly Holistic Paradigm
So let’s define this new paradigm. Holistic means seeing body mind and spirit together, and also implies a more systematic view of each part like nutrition that takes into account all nutrient deficiencies. A system consists of how all the parts of health fit together: the body in lifestyle, in and environment. And a mind making choices about what that body should do—this is issues of what paradigm to use to make decisions about health.
The problem is complexity, which means it is difficult to get complete knowledge. When problems are not easily solved it means we need a bigger picture, a map of the terrain.
The challenge is to balance holding enough knowledge of complexity without getting completely overwhelmed, with enough simplicity without reductionist oversimplification.
The way to do that is to focus on the few root causes that create the many symptoms.
The problem has been that there is no common definition of root causes.
Nowhere could I find even the criteria for defining the difference between cause and symptoms. This lack represents how faithlessly sloppy our collective knowledge is. No wonder people are stuck in illness that gets worse until people are debilitated.
So I decided to think it through for myself.
I started with the idea that body parts don’t cause their own problems. Body parts are symptoms where root causes make an impact: Adrenal fatigue, thyroid, leaky gut, autoimmunity, inflammation, ME in cfs (inflamed brain stem) are all trendy diagnoses based on body parts and physiological responses to stress.
I repeatedly asked Why? symptoms showed up at specific body parts and it always went back to a few stressors
OUTSIDE THE BODY.
The criteria for what makes a root cause are three, something:
MISSING: nutrients, developmental process emotionally or physically.
INVADING: toxins, infection, emotional abuse, physical injury
BRAIN’S REACTION TO STRESS.
This cause is internal, it means we have choice. This is largely the brains unconscious reaction to stress emotional or physical. This is called Autonomic Nervous System dysregulation, ANS. This includes the mind. This category accounts for our free will and ability and responsibility to make choices.
That leaves us with 6 root causes
1. Nutrition
2. Toxicity: metals, chemicals, emf, light, mold.
3. Infection
4. Emotions
5. Physical misalignment from teeth to toes.
6. Stress responses by the brain.
A list of 6 is better than one reductionist cause like lyme, adrenal fatigue, etc.
Yet even 6 is too complex to know where to begin.

Stages of Implementation
Things need to be done in the right order to balance completeness and simplicity.
Order of implementation is above all unique to each individual.
I offer here a typical implementation order that begins with things that make your stronger before doing aggressive detox or killing bugs.
The first priority is to restore healthy cellular functioning of mitochondria to produce energy so the body can heal itself from the inside.
STAGE 1.
1. Nutritional Deficiencies: the body is only as strong as its weakest link. This increases energy and clearer thinking. Fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, probiotics, sun, therapeutic lights, etc. Eat to Energize.
2. Remove Toxic Exposures in the Environment. External exposures can be removed more quickly and painlessly than the gradual process of moving toxins out of the body. This includes EMF exposure that I estimate is 25% on average people’s total health problems--this may be more like an average minimum. EMF is often the single largest category of causes and one that people most underestimate. Effective emf solutions are complex and most available ones are only partial. EMF can be half the toxicity category, toxicity being often the single largest root cause to address, although chemical toxins be addressed nutritionally.
3. Reduce Deep Stress to sleep: rest and digest. Reducing EMF can help greatly with this, too. A fairly complete and efficient way to do this is Align Spine & Mind.
Any one of these 3 steps in stage 1 alone when done well can make a huge difference.
For difficult cases all may need to be done to get a noticeable result.
Stage 1 can be a complete healing process alone that initiates detox and boosts immunity.
If you skip stage 1 you are probably not going to heal your damn lyme, candida, parasites, or whatever.
STAGE 2: One or more of these as needed:
1. Kill Infections. After you are stronger from stage 1 you can tolerate die off and your immune system can kick in to help, which seems to be necessary. A strong immune systems is necessary to prevent relapse. Sometimes you can start here at the same time that you do Eat to Energize. It depends on energetic testing and how you feel.
2. Detoxification. The body can now handle more aggressive detoxification if necessary without crashing.
3. Pain Reduction through some kind of physical therapy or movement is easier with more strength and inflammation reduced through stage 1.
4. Emotional Therapy. Once mood is improved physically and brain fog lifting, it is easier to work on emotions. Reducing a stressed brain on a physical level makes it easier to think rationally and not have to avoid painful emotions. There is a little more space.
Finding quality solutions for each of these steps can be challenging. It is best to get tested energetically for individual compatibility from a long list of high quality solutions.
If you are not getting the results you want then you need to look at the way you make decisions about health. What you think the answer looks like may not be complete.
