New Lyme Treatment: Lyme-N

A friend's daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. We have many friends who have had Lyme disease and many patients as well. I still don't understand why the US does not mandate isolation of deer to certain areas only: gated off & not allowed to wonder in the woods where people live.
Lyme can be devastating and can lead to a lifetime of complications.

A friend tried the below and it "helped."
Still look for studies.
Anyone out there know more about Lyme N Nebulized treatment? I cannot find a randomized controlled, blinded study.

          FAQ’S for Lyme-N

1)What is Lyme-N and who would use it?
Lyme-N is a product made up of inorganic minerals designed to kill spirochetal populations present in the body. It is designed for use by individuals who have Borreliosis (spirochetes) or related spirochetal infections such as those found in individuals who have Lyme Disease.

2) What are the ingredients in Lyme-N?
Everything in Lyme-N is a micronutrient required by every cell in the body.  Lyme-N is a proprietary combination of natural inorganic, compounded minerals that possess inherently antimicrobial properties. Lyme-N has natural bactericidal, mycobactericidal, and virucidal properties.   The ingredients in Lyme-N are "Generally Recognized As Safe", or GRAS (a term used by the FDA and EPA).  The FDA and EPA have extensively studied everything that is in Lyme-N and have found them to be benign and low in toxicity in relation to human consumption and does not reach anywhere near to levels that would poison someone.  We can’t divulge specific details of the ingredients because it is proprietary and immensely valuable.  If you are of the personality type that must know; then this protocol is not for you.  There is no evidence that humans have allergic reactions to inorganic minerals.

3) How does Lyme-N work?
Lyme-N penetrates microorganisms over a relatively short amount of time, disrupting protein and nucleic acid structures selectively in spirochetes. The action produces a lethal effect on harmful bacteria such as spirochetes.  Lyme-N hooks up with their ligand structure and releases enough micronutrients needed to destroy the spirochetes and other infections.

Nebulized, it is a gas which is the smallest molecule your body could take in.   It incorporates in your blood gases and follows your blood gases throughout your body with each heartbeat, 1400 times a day.  It is not only toxic to spirochetes, but in a gaseous state Lyme-N goes everywhere the spirochetes go and can eliminate the lyme disease unlike any other treatment.  It is a fumigant so it gets everywhere the blood flows.

All cells in the body have ligand structures and these ligand structures are slightly negative.  Lyme-N (which is positively charged) has a unique ability to discriminate between healthy cells, (which are positively charged) and bad cells (which are negatively charged).  The negative charge in the healthy cell’s ligand structure is so slight that the Lyme-N is able to ignore it.  Therefore, Lyme-N is repelled by the healthy cells as two positive charges do not attract and healthy cells won’t be harmed or eliminated.  In fact, if Lyme-N comes across a healthy ligand structure of a cell that is neutral because it is deficit of some of the minerals Lyme-N contains, then Lyme-N’s ligand structure will match up to fill it and exchange chemistry until filled.  Then it will push off in search of other negative or neutral ligand structures.  The neutrals are healthy but don’t have everything they need.

The biofilm is typically positively charged and that is why negatively charged cells cover themselves with it, so that when the immune system or medication passes by , they don’t notice it because it is positively charged.  A fumigant is small enough to see through the positive biofilm and go through and destroy it.

Certain components of the composition act to chaperone those dead, negative cells safely and effectively out of the body.  Because Lyme-N naturally chaperones the dead and decayed spirochetes from the body; detoxing is not necessary and could actually decrease the effectiveness as the Lyme-N would leave the body as well, through forcing detox.  Detoxing is also the last step in the battle that the immune system must learn so interfering with it is not a good idea because it may not learn the complete process of detoxing by itself.  It would have a missing step.  In escorting them out, If the negative cell that was killed has multi molecules or is large, like a piece of biofilm, then the Lyme-N will escort it to the nearest exit port which would most likely be your bladder.  If the killed negative cell is microscopic, like a spirochete, then Lyme-N would merely escort it out the pore of the skin.

4) How is Lyme-N used?
Lyme-N is nebulized, meaning it is inhaled by the individual. The nebulization process is repeated daily for 60 days. The process normally takes an individual 5 to 25 minutes daily, which requires a small, inexpensive nebulizing unit, and can be done at home.  By nebulizing, one is basically fumigating the body from head to toe and the spirochetes cannot escape.  Lyme-N breaks through the blood/brain barrier.

5) Does Lyme-N Eliminate Co-Infections?

We have had test results showing that coinfections have been eliminated.  More research is needed
before we can understand and prove the extent to which coinfections are eliminated. 

6) How do I know that the spirochetal population is eliminated?

There are 2 ways to determine if your spirochetal population is eliminated.  The first is to image the saliva fluid after 30 days post treatment.  The second is by PCR tests which tests for DNA.  This test will be positive and would need to be done several times to determine if there is a declining rate of the dead organisms being eliminated from the body over time.  The amplitude of the DNA should decrease over time.  If the DNA increases, then you know the infection is still alive and well and needs to be addressed.

Symptom levels are not an indication that your spirochetal population is eliminated.  Symptoms will continue for a time depending upon the level of damage.  Symptoms cycle away as the body heals (assuming it isn’t permanent damage) at various rates dependent upon many various factors such as age, gender, metabolic rate, coinfections involved, years affected, health condition, etc.

7) How does Lyme-N differ from antibiotics and other products?
Lyme-N is not an antibiotic. It does not have the structure of an antibiotic, nor is it an herbal product. Lyme-N is a solution made of naturally occurring inorganic minerals. The mean diameter of Lyme-N molecules is 260 picometers. Antibiotics typically have a mean diameter of 50 to 100 times that of Lyme-N, consequently Lyme-N is capable of far greater absorption, permeation and diffusion throughout the entire body.

Antibiotics and certain other products and compositions are, fortunately, regulated. Those products frequently have serious short and long term side-effects, some of which may be permanent.  Regulated antibiotics cannot discriminate between good bacteria and bad bacteria like Lyme-N can.  With antibiotics the gastrointestinal flora gets killed and creates a situation where you can no longer digest food.

Before nebulization, when the saliva of an individual who has been on antibiotics is viewed under the microscope, what one sees is that the spirochetes have changed into the cyst and round body forms to protect themselves.  When observing saliva of a Lyme patient who has been on natural remedies, what one observes is spirochetes and bacteria that have changed form, slowed down and appear ill.  Their harmful activity may be slowed down, but in neither case are they dead.

8) Are essential oils similar to Lyme-N?
No. Essential oils commonly associated with the treatment of Lyme disease differ compositionally and in mode of action. While essential oils may have certain beneficial effects when used for other purposes, their use during or in conjunction with the use of Lyme-N is strongly discouraged. There is evidence that indicates that essential oils may interfere with the desired absorption of Lyme-N and render it less effective.

9) Does Lyme-N pose any long term or short term health risks?
No. Risk is viewed as a function of transient or continued negative side effects, irreversible negative changes, allergic reactions, or other undesirable effects from use. The assessment of risk is low with respect to Lyme-N use, based on evidence from successful use by hundreds of users spanning over a decade.   Generally, the Lyme-N composition provides elements the body normally uses to defend against infection, elements that are in many instances deficient in supply in the typical individual’s diet, therefore the product provides benefit as opposed to risk.

If you are a healthy person or are “asymptomatic”  from Lyme, and were to do the 60 day protocol, the most you would likely experience are more vivid dreams at night.  Then, starting 6 months after nebulizing, you may start noticing that you have a better memory and feel much sharper in thought.

10) Why is the Lyme-N solution nebulized?
Evidence from testing indicates that nebulization is the most effective pathway for moving Lyme-N into the body, more so than oral, dermal or other routes. Additionally, certain processes occur with nebulization which enable a complete absorption of Lyme-N and conversion of the product to a maximally efficacious form of gas.  By fumigating the body with Lyme-N the spirochetes can be eliminated over a 60 day period.

11) What can I expect in terms of symptoms DURING the 60 day protocol?
Everyone’s experience during the protocol is different.  It is an indication of what damage has occurred internally by the drilling spirochetes and co-infections.  If you are asymptomatic with little or no damage internally, you would usually experience more vivid dreams during the protocol. 

During the first 30 days most people experience more fatigue as their body is battling the majority of the spirochetal infestation and other infections.  If there is biofilm, an individual may experience an increase in aches or pain within the first two weeks.  At this point, it is believed that the transient increase in aches or pain are the result of the biofilm loss, which may expose raw or previously damaged nerves. We have observed in some cases that this pain may go away in a few weeks once the nerve damage heals. People also experience rewinding of old symptoms and these may re-appear during the nebulization and even after.  You may see rashes come back, fevers, headaches, and aches and pains from the past.  You may experience symptoms from decades before that you had no idea related to Lyme.  This is completely normal.  This is how the body starts healing.  Symptoms gradually appeared as your illness progressed and they can reappear and then gradually disappear as you heal.

 In the second half of the protocol, most people start to feel better unless they are a longtime chronic Lyme patient.  Not all people feel better and it really varies.  We have had some people not feel better until day 60 or later.  Everyone’s experience is different and there is no right or wrong.  Just like the disease affects everyone differently; the protocol and healing experience will vary as well.  There are so many factors that come into play.

 Towards the end of the protocol, most, but not all, people feel better while nebulizing as Lyme-N is a crutch for the body in helping recover.  Once finishing the protocol, because the body has to take over the healing on its own without Lyme-N, there is an adjustment period and one can feel even more symptoms about 30 to 60 days after finishing the treatment.  Most people initially react and think the infection is back, but these are phantom symptoms that can occur and begin cycling and then going away gradually during the healing.  This is merely how the body heals because it works in cycles.  It will continue these symptom cycles it knew for months and years … but since the cause of the symptoms (spirochetes and bacteria) are gone, these phantom cycles will get broken. Over time when the phantom cycles are slowed down, you can experience more and more good days with the bad days decreasing.  It is a long healing period and even though this is not pleasant, we believe this symptom cycling process may be necessary for the body to gather intel to fight future infections.

12) What happens if I miss a nebulizing session?
Not adhering to your protocol may cause the process to fail, therefore we strongly urge that you stay on the protocol for 60 days. If you miss a nebulizing session it potentially will allow the spirochetes to reestablish themselves.  A prolonged break in daily nebulization, intentionally or otherwise, will necessitate termination of the 60 day protocol and a review of the ability and timing of a re-initialization of the process.

Lyme-N has a relatively short lived residence in the body of only 24 hours. Optimally, Lyme-N is presented to the body, one dose daily, which enables the volume to reach a saturation point. Subsequent to nebulization Lyme-N rapidly diffuses throughout the body and has a predictable absorption gradient through tissues. Lyme-N is excreted within 24 hours through normal fecal, urine, breathing and perspiration routes without residue, therefore a daily repetition is required for 2 months.

Frequently we are asked if an individual can take a break from the protocol to go on antibiotics for other infections.  Lyme-N is ineffective if taken along with antibiotics. But, in many cases, the dosage for Lyme-N can be increased and also taken orally to help alleviate other infections.  Consult your Lyme-N literate doctor for advice.

13) What can I expect in terms of symptoms going away long term and the healing process?
Those with Chronic Lyme have had the disease for a long time and the spirochetes associated with this disease do a great deal of damage.  You can expect it to take about half as long as you have had this disease to get better.  Realize that you could have had this disease many years before you ever experienced symptoms.  Patients often have a long healing period and/or could have permanent damage.  The alleviation of symptoms from spirochetal infection is often complex, as it is a function of the extent, intensity and duration of the infection as well as the age and status of the individual and the extent to which other infections (co-infections or otherwise) have been or are present.  Experiencing symptoms during and after treatment is not a function of determining if the spirochetal population is eliminated.

Symptoms are present and cycle during the healing period.  Lyme-N kills the spirochetes and then reverses the symptoms.  For an individual with long-standing chronic Lyme, it can take a year or more to heal unless there is permanent damage which won’t heal.   For example, joint damage from rheumatoid arthritis caused by Lyme can be permanent.  This joint damage will not reverse with time even after nebulization.  Only time can answer this question of how much damage there is as MRI’s and radiology cannot reveal underlying damage.  It is this very reason that many Lyme patients go to the emergency room complaining of severe symptoms only to be told to go home because nothing can be determined and everything tests normal.

If there is biofilm, an individual may experience an elevation in aches or pain within the first two weeks.  At this point, it is believed that the transient elevation in aches or pain are the result of the biofilm loss, which may expose raw or previously damaged nerves. We have observed in some cases that this pain may go away in a few weeks once the nerve damage heals.

People also experience rewinding of old symptoms and these may re-appear during the nebulization and even after.  You may see rashes come back, fevers, headaches, and aches and pains from the past.  You may experience symptoms from decades before that you had no idea related to Lyme.  This is completely normal.  This is how the body starts healing.  Symptoms gradually appeared as your illness progressed and they can reappear and then gradually disappear as you heal.  This can take a year or more but it is diminishing with time, unless it is permanent damage.  If an individual is not too chronic, they can typically feel better toward the latter second half of the treatment when the majority of the spirochetes are killed.

Towards the end of the protocol, most, but not all, people feel better while nebulizing as Lyme-N is a crutch for the body in helping recover.  Once finishing the protocol, because the body has to take over the healing on its own without Lyme-N, there is an adjustment period and one can feel even more symptoms about 30 to 60 days after finishing the treatment.  Most people initially react and think the infection is back, but these are phantom symptoms that can occur and begin cycling and then going away gradually during the healing.  This is merely how the body heals because it works in cycles.  It will continue these symptom cycles it knew for months and years … but since the cause of the symptoms (spirochetes and bacteria) are gone, these phantom cycles will get broken. Over time when the phantom cycles are slowed down, you can experience more and more good days with the bad days decreasing.  It is a long healing period and even though this is not pleasant, we believe this symptom cycling process may be necessary for the body to gather intel to fight future infections. 

14) Is there a pattern observed for particular symptoms as far as how long it takes for them to cycle away?

There is a pattern observed but it does not always apply to everyone.  Do not be concerned if yours take longer to diminish.  Some people don’t feel better until after the 60 days and longer.  It is very common.  Everyone’s healing process is different because there are too many factors that come into play.  Too many to even list; it is infinite. 

Some of these symptom patterns are:

Joint Pain – for many, joint pain can go away within 6 months, post treatment.  However, wait a year before going back to intense exercise.  It takes time for the synovial fluid function to repair and replenish to normality …. especially if the synovial valve has been attacked by the spirochetes. The principle role of the synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement.  So, you might not have any pain until you exert the joints.  If you subsequently, have joint pain or swelling, then you could have possibly overdone it.

If you’re an ex-athlete or you have rheumatoid arthritis with joint damage, then the above does not apply to you.  Your damage will most likely not resolve.

Headaches – for many, headaches can continue to cycle for a year or more.  You will most likely notice a drop in frequency and severity over time.  To help the body heal from the headaches after treatment, try cold compresses over the eyes and at the base of the skull when you get them.  You may even try warm compresses or alternating between hot and cold and see what works.  This might help break the cycling. 

Fatigue – If you have adrenal fatigue it can take 2 to 3 years to heal.  However, you should notice a significant change after doing the 60 day protocol.  Your required naps will most likely decrease over time in frequency and duration.

Insomnia – sleeplessness usually resolves within 6 months after treatment.  For many, it can resolve within the 60 day protocol.  Sometimes, insomnia is caused by symptoms such as pain and anxiety.  Sleep may improve as these symptoms diminish.  If you genetically tend to have insomnia, this will most likely NOT go away because the infections were not the causative agent.

-Gastrointestinal Issues such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, cramping, pain associated with eating particular foods, heartburn, etc.  These issues are very complex as there can be many different co-infections and issues that come into play.  Talk these over with your Lyme-N literate doctor.

Some people get immediate relief from irritable bowel syndrome and constipation after drinking 10 drops along with nebulizing the 20 drops for about 5 days at the beginning of the protocol. 

Many of these issues including pain and cramping can be caused by inadequate flora in the gastro system due to antibiotics.  In this case, we suggest probiotics.  We have used the following; Probios, which you can buy on Amazon, a farm animal probiotic.  It looks and tastes like powdered coffee creamer.  This probiotic is highly regulated because these animals can be eaten by humans so the standards are high and safe.  These include strains and enzymes that are not available in human probiotics and also have to remain alive without needing refrigeration.  If you want a similar probiotic product that is dairy and sugar free, try Opti-Zyme.

Pain can also be from an internal sore in your stomach system caused by spirochetes.  If after the 5 days of oral Lyme-N and then discontinuing, your stomach starts hurting again, then take heartburn medicine.  If the pain goes away when you take it, you know that the sore needs more time to heal. 

Many people have issues where they have limited foods they can eat.  Sometimes these sensitivities go away in the first year and sometimes they don’t.  This is more than likely related to the extent of damage left behind.  Hopefully, we will learn more in time in research as we go forward.

Anxiety – for most, anxiety will initially increase during the Lyme-N protocol.  However, you should start noticing a pattern of it coming and going. It varies by individual.  For the very chronic, this can cycle for a year.  But it is diminishing, so it will go down in intensity.  We recommend Kava Kava tea when you are anxious.  It can make you drowsy so take this into consideration and don’t drive or operate machinery, etc.  It is also helpful to do some therapy to help retrain the thinking patterns of your brain.  This can speed your healing.

Brain Fog – for most, brain fog will decrease during the first couple of days to weeks of the Lyme-N protocol.  Many people notice more clarity in thinking and start experiencing a better sense of well-being and a sense of joy over time by the end of the protocol.  They gradually get back some of the old desires they use to have for their hobbies, as they heal.  For some, this change in mood and clarity in thinking can come and go but will eventually get better and better.  Don’t be upset if you do not experience this until further down the road of healing.  This may just mean you have more damage to heal from than the others.

Some of the brain fog may not start clearing until starting 6 months AFTER finishing the treatment.  Broken pathways in the brain take longer to heal.  Don’t be surprised if you gradually feel progressively “smarter” after 6 month’s post treatment.  This will continue to improve as well.

 Tooth Pain or Sensitivity –  If you suddenly experience hyper sensitivity or pain in your teeth it could be a result of oral populations of spirochetes that could have accumulate around dental work (root canals, veneers, bridges, caps, cavities or crowns).  If this occurs refer to the oral cavity protocol. Do this a few times and see if the sensitivity diminishes.  *Second, be sure you scheduled and had your teeth deep cleaned in the last week or so of the protocol. 

Learning Disabilities –  If your child has struggled with a learning disability in their past, take notice starting 6 months AFTER finishing the Lyme-N protocol.  Don’t be surprised if they all of a sudden start doing better in school.  It takes a while for the brain pathways to heal, so you won’t see it right away.  This improvement may continue to gradually improve over several years.

Hyper-Activity/ADD/ADHD this is another symptom that can get worse before it gets better.  Typically, in the second 30 days, you will notice it starting to decrease.   These symptoms may also come and go before they disappear over a year’s time.

Frequent Urination – typically we see a reduction in frequency of urination within the first couple of weeks.  But not always.  If your child tends to wet the bed, this may start going away within 6 months.  Please note that if your child stops wetting the bed and a year later starts having a few nights of wetting; then suspect their body is fighting a current exposure.  Don’t be alarmed, but give it a couple of months to resolve itself as their body battles the infection on its own.

Itchy Skin with Appearing Bumps when Scratched – If the body is over producing histamine then small red bumps can appear if the skin is scratched because it is extra itchy.  Consult with your Lyme-N literate doctor to verify it is ok, but the best thing to do is to take an anti-histamine or benedryl at night before you go to sleep if you are not allergic to it.  It may keep the itching at bay for 24 hours.  Periodically, stop taking the anti-histamine to test and see if you still need it.  Within a month or two after finishing the protocol, your body will most likely normalize and stop over producing the histamines on its own.

Hyper and Hypo Thyroid – sometimes we see thyroid issues adjust within the first week of Lyme-N.  It can vary widely though.  Talk with your Lyme-N literate doctor about various time frames of testing to check your levels.  Typically, thyroid issues completely resolve in the first year of treatment.

Vertigo – this is another symptom that can take time to heal.  Especially if you were diagnosed with POTS.  Typically, equilibrium can take over a year’s time or longer depending on damage.  It also might be related to your eyesight and ears.  So, this may take a while to sync up with the healing.

Eyesight Sensitivity to Sunlight/Double Vision – If spirochetes attack your optic nerve you can have sensitivity to light or double vision.  You may find that your sensitivity to light or need for sunglasses may decrease or go away within 6 months.

Sensitive Hearing – If spirochetes attack any part of your inner ear you can have sensitivity to noise or tinnitus.  You may find that your sensitivity to noise may incrementally, gradually dissipate by 6 months or longer.  There can even be permanent damage where it will not go away.

Ringing in Ears – Ringing in the ears does not go away for some time.  There can even be permanent damage where it will not go away.  Tinnitus is frequently permanent.  It is the absence of your ability to hear in that pitch.  That is the part of your hearing that is no longer working.  It does not always heal.

If you do suffer from ringing in the ears, one of things you can do which is helpful is to play background music.  There are special cd’s you can buy to play as you are falling asleep to help drown the ringing noise so you can fall asleep.

Eye Floaters – Eye floaters are another symptom that can take a year or more to heal and go away if there is no permanent damage.  Eye floaters are not treatable.  It is a waiting game.

Blepharitis -  Inflammation of the eyelids typically goes away in 2 to 6 months.  It is caused by spirochetes in the eye area. 

Body Core Temperature Fluctuations – This is occurring if you experience temperature fluctuations where one minute you are very hot and later you are very cold.  Or you could have it split where your core is hot but you have goosebumps from perspiration and you feel cold on the outside.  This is the body trying to take care of the hot core.  Another symptom of this syndrome is to have high fevers or have extremities like your hands and feet not be able to get warm.  This syndrome can be one of the last symptoms to heal.  It can take a long time.

Menstrual Cycles– With Lyme disease or Rickettsia, it is very common for women in childbearing years to have irregular or painful menstrual cycles as well as lose their menstrual cycle.  Do not take this lightly, especially if you are young.  It needs to be taken very seriously.  Thankfully, most women who do the Lyme-N protocol will start their cycle within two to three weeks.  It is very important to have a healthy cycle.  Once it is cycling regular from Lyme-N, this would be a good time to take a very low dose of birth control pills to keep it regular.  Find one that agrees with you.  For health purposes, you want it to be so regular that you can predict it reliably.  Don’t rely on these low doses to prevent unwanted pregnancies.  (taking low dose birth control pills does not apply to women going through menopause).  If you have gone through menopause and have some spotting, don’t be alarmed, this can be normal and temporary.  This is when you would have started your cycle if you were of childbearing age.

PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)– With Lyme disease, many individuals suffer from PTSD from excessive, uncontrollable, experiences of depression and anxiety.  From what we have observed, PTSD can begin to decrease in intensity after the initial 60 days of the protocol.  It will continue to come and go for the following year, eventually going.  Much of the healing occurs in the brain starting 6 months post treatment.  The same time frame that we start seeing improvements in learning recoveries.

Parkinson’s Disease – those with Parkinson’s disease can initially experience more shaking when the biofilm is removed at the beginning of the protocol.  This is due to better reception of nerves when the insulation from the biofilm is no longer blocking it.

15) Why are some people substantially symptomatic as they heal after nebulization?

Approximately 15% of those who do the Lyme-N protocol continue to experience substantial or moderate symptoms during and after nebulizing as they are healing.  This is NOT an indication of active infection.  It is most likely from the complications of the neurological damage caused by the spirochetes.  Spirochetes drill and remove the myelin sheath of nerves and can even drill through synaptic sites.  When these nerve connections are broken, communication pathways throughout the body get disrupted; even communication to organs.  In addition, Lyme-N breaks through and removes biofilm; removing nerve damage insulation.  All of a sudden there is pain from exposed, damaged nerves with greater receptivity because the biofilm blocked the connection and suppressed the feeling of pain.  This nerve damage must heal and everyone’s extent of damage can differ depending on many, many factors as you can imagine.  The medical community is very aware that nerve damage is extremely complex and requires much time for healing.  You just have to be patient.  This was a deadly disease and you have to remain patient and thankful that the cause is gone and now you can heal.

We also believe that the healing period of “symptoms cycling” is a necessary part of the immune system’s education to fight future exposure.  Most people are not aware of this, but a scab over a cut, for example, should never be removed.  It is during the scabbing process that the body is learning and recording the healing cycle.  So, in the same way, it may not be advantageous for the future fighting of these infections for us to hinder the “symptoms cycling away”.  This is the very reason why more Lyme-N is not recommended after the first treatment.  The body has to go through this learning period on it’s own, without Lyme-N, no matter how hard it is for us.

The second most common reason could most likely be due to oral mouth issues.  In almost all cases, –root canals, infected teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, mouth appliances and problems in the oral cavity create issues where spirochetes can harbor even after nebulization. As the immune system detects stray spirochetes to kill, it triggers symptom response as it fights.  We do not see patients feeling better until these are resolved. This is why we now require patients to get their teeth deep cleaned at the end of nebulizing.  Spirochetes harbor in the mouth and in plaque.  This plaque needs to be removed.

Additionally, we have observed other circumstances that may cause the healing period to be more intensely symptomatic and longer… but much research is needed.  Some of these are:

-Babesia and Rickettsia seem to have a rough recovery period where during and/or after the protocol, symptoms are initially extremely substantial for some individuals (not all).  Symptoms continue to cycle and diminish over a year’s time.  It can be a long, torturous recovery.

-people with the MTHFR factor seem to have a longer more symptomatic recovery than others.  Possibly due to their body’s reaction and sensitivities to having the dead organisms in their body during the period of time it takes to eventually leave the body after treatment.  You may want to bring this to the attention of your Lyme-N literate doctor.  Taking methyl folate may help during treatment.

-people with thyroid issues may all of a sudden not need their medication and may not feel well from a reaction to their medicine that is no longer needed.

-being exposed by a spouse, partner or family member who was not been treated can trigger an immune response with symptoms as the body is continually re-exposed to new spirochetes to fight.  This can also slow down the healing and “cycling away process” as energy is required to battle where it could have been used to recover and heal.  Through the saliva testing research, we have learned that in most cases the entire family has spirochetes in their saliva.  This leads us to believe that it is highly infectious and contagious.  All family members should eventually be treated or one can get re-infected over time.  Not only can you get re-infected, you will also be substantially symptomatic as you fight off exposures.  Most families treat individual members over time as they can afford it, but try to at least treat the married couples at the same time.

-reinfection by a tick, mosquito, any biting insect or other means of fluid transmission.  Or surprisingly enough, from a lick or bite of your dog or cat.  The army did a study and determined that dogs have Lyme…but are carriers.  If your dog’s saliva gets in an open wound, or is on your hand and you rub your eye, you could very likely be re-infecting yourself.  Look for symptomology if this has occurred.  Train your dog not to lick as well as educate your children of the seriousness and danger of it. 

-having a co-infection or illness not eliminated by Lyme-N.  Lyme-N does not eliminate every infection a person could possibly have.  If one remains symptomatic and does not gradually get better, has no oral mouth issues, is not exposed to family members who have not been treated, and was not a chronic patient with potential damage left behind; then, there was probably an additional infection present that Lyme-N may not have eliminated.  We do have a few patients who do not continually recover and feel better.  These patients have eliminated their spirochetes but it is a mystery as to why they continue to be symptomatic. 

16) What happens if I am re-exposed by a tick, other biting insect, or fluid transmission/exchange?
From what we have observed through saliva testing, Lyme-N enables the body to fight ad eliminate the spirochetal infection on its own.  Because the immune system has participated in this process, it has learned to detect and fight future exposures. 

For example, one patient got a tick bite with an occurring bullseye approximately 8 months after finishing the Lyme-N protocol.  He immediately started experiencing substantial symptoms for about 2 months before the symptoms started gradually going away.  When we observed his saliva, there were small, baby, dead spirochetes, indicating a new infection that did not survive.  His immune system had been educated to detect it and fought them off.  Unfortunately, experiencing substantial symptoms was part of the process, but he did not have to nebulize again.

Because spirochetes are present in the saliva and body fluids, we believe it is possible to be re-exposed merely by kissing and sharing drinks, as well as being sexually transmitted.  We have had teenagers experience symptoms (getting headaches and general sense of not feeling well),  from sharing drinks or kissing a new boyfriend/girlfriend.

Even if the immune system is educated to fight future exposures, it is not a guarantee that one can’t become re-infected.  If the immune system is presented and overwhelmed with continual infections to fight (by an untreated spouse, for example) then there is a point at which it can be over taken and not be able to win the battle.  Not only that, but the symptoms a person will experience can be extreme and unpleasant.  We have had people re-infected by spouses or partners after doing the Lyme-N protocol.  Some of the first people treated with Lyme-N were not advised of the dangers of reinfection by a spouse and were subsequently

It is not advisable to share drinks with anyone.  You may also want to put your dishwasher on the “sanitize” setting to eliminate possible exposures from dishes.  These are just common sense suggestions and are not proven by research.

If you have gone through the Lyme-N protocol and suddenly start experiencing symptoms, do not assume your infection is back.  You have most likely had an exposure that your body is fighting.  It may take time, but the symptoms should gradually go away when it has won the battle.  We are noticing that after Lyme-N, the body is educated and on guard.  It is alerted to incoming infection and lets you know via symptoms.  You are much more sensitive and will now most likely know when you have an exposure.  It is actually a beautiful thing because your body learned to fight it.  But beware, you do not want to overwhelm your immune system to the exposure of an untreated spouse or partner.  It will get overtaken and you can get re-infected with time.  (Plus you really won’t be feeling so well!!)  Parents, be aware when your teenagers are dating.  Note that they may start experiencing symptoms.  Even staying the night at a friend’s house and sharing a drink.  They may not feel well the next day.  Observe.  Don’t be overly alarmed.  Watch and take note to see how long it takes the symptoms to diminish as the body fights.  It will vary.

If you have a dog or a cat, do not let them lick you or your children on the face or anywhere.  You are almost guaranteed to get infected, it is in their saliva.  Spirochetes can get in through any opening in your body by crawling along the surface of your skin; through your nose, eyes, mouth, ears or open wounds.

17) Why do I get some symptoms back, off and on, after completing the treatment?
The body requires months and years of complete healing from damage that can’t be seen after nebulizing. Recovery time depends on the extent of spirochetal damage, how long one has had Lyme, the presence of co-infections and their severity and the number of other medical conditions one has. The "relapsing cycle" may continue for a time; however, by eliminating the spirochetal population via nebulization, the cycle will be broken, enabling the body to recover.

Post-nebulization phantom-symptoms and feelings of relapse will most likely progressively diminish and eventually disappear (unless there is permanent damage). Removing the causative agent (attacking spirochetes) will eventually diminish the symptoms by eliminating the driving force of them.

18) If I am highly symptomatic now and have been for a few years or more, is Lyme-N suitable for me?
If that is the case, then think about it before making the decision and discuss it carefully with your Lyme-N literate doctor.  The healing process involves the rewinding of old symptoms from years and decades back.  You can expect to experience them again and they will continue for a year or more as they cycle away.  Some people may not want to potentially get worse before getting better.  Especially when it can take a while.

Or if you were symptomatic years ago and were able to get it in remission, you can expect those symptoms from years ago to show up again.  Usually the first in are the last to go.

19) Why do I get fatigued?

 The body requires extra energy to fight off the spirochetes and infections as you are in the midst of the treatment.  If you have fatigue; you need to rest.

If you had adrenal fatigue from chronic Lyme it can take 2 to 3 years for the adrenals to heal.  Be patient and rest.  It is not an indication you still have a spirochetal population.  It is damage left behind.

20) Why does my throat feel sore sometimes when I start nebulizing?
Lyme-N contains a natural salt that protects your lungs and is needed to maintain a proper electrolytic balance. The raspy or slightly sore throat feeling some people get for a short period of time can be mitigated by simply using a throat lozenge or cough drop. The sore throat sensation is brief and typically goes away quickly. Some individuals do not experience any throat discomfort during nebulization.

21) Is there a better time of the day to nebulize?
Not necessarily. It is suggested that an individual select a time of day when the nebulization can be comfortably and consistently done and so that nebulization activities are 24 hours apart.

There is some evidence that Lyme-N nebulization may affect some individuals' sleep patterns.   If an individual finds that nebulizing in the evening tends to keep them up at night, they should shift and nebulize earlier in the day. Conversely, if an individual nebulizes in the morning but feels tired long before the day ends, they should shift and nebulize later in the day.

22) May I exercise and work out during the nebulization period?
During the 60 day nebulization period and thereafter, light isometric and calisthenics exercise is acceptable.  However, your body requires energy to fight and heal so conserving energy is what is recommended. 

If you have chronic joint pains or issues that diminish during or after the protocol , it is best to not overly exert or stress it for 6 months to a year so it can heal properly.

23) Is it helpful to periodically nebulize after the initial 60 day treatment?
No. In most cases, continuing nebulization beyond 60 days is not necessary, even though a patient experiences symptoms after nebulizing.  We believe it is a necessary and good response for the body to experience.  It is through this process that the immune system is getting educated and learning the immune response for future battles. 

There are some exceptions.  Patients who have had chronic Lyme for many years with significant damage can benefit their healing by nebulizing a second bottle.  However, it is not necessary.  Also, if you acquire a new spirochetal infection via other transmission paths (certain blood or fluid exchanges) you can be re-infected.  (If, for example, your spouse or partner is not treated)  If so, then you would need to do the Lyme-N protocol again.

24) Is there a risk of overdose of Lyme-N?
No. However, prolonged overdosed nebulization may result in simple process fatigue, a possible slight sore throat and headache. Overdose by ingestion may result in some level of indigestion and/or abdominal ache or pain.

25) Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to Lyme-N?
No. The inorganic minerals that are present in Lyme-N have not been known to cause any allergic reaction.

26) What is the recommended standard dosage of Lyme-N?
A standard adult dose of Lyme-N is 20 drops per day, repeated daily for 60 consecutive days.

A standard dose for a child is 10 drops per day, repeated daily for 60 consecutive days. Once a child has entered puberty, an adult dose is required.  For young children, consult your Lyme-N literate doctor for the proper dosage.

27) Can I use Lyme-N if I am pregnant or plan to become pregnant soon?
No. Use of Lyme-N is not recommended. There is no evidence that Lyme-N has any effect upon a pregnant women or unborn children; however, the recommendation remains that Lyme-N use should be put off in instances of pregnancy, or within one week of planned pregnancy.  We recommend you do the Lyme-N protocol before becoming pregnant because there is research evidence to support that this can be transmitted to your baby by the mother’s fluids.

28) Can I take antibiotics, prescription drugs, or herbal supplements while nebulizing?
During the Lyme-N 60 day protocol, we strongly caution against taking antibiotics or natural remedies.  Doing so may prevent Lyme-N from being absorbed into the body. However, it is permissible to take most pharmaceutical prescriptions for other ailments and Lyme symptoms.  Consult your Lyme-N literate physician specifically.

You cannot be taking Nature Throid or Armor Thyroid.  The ingredients do not agree with Lyme-N.  Slowly taper off of the Nature Throid or Armor Thyroid before starting Lyme-N.  You can go on alternative thyroid medications.  If you are on other thyroid medications, it is a good idea to have your thyroid functions tested after a week or two on Lyme-N to see if the medication is still needed.

We suggest that you avoid all supplements during the 60 day treatment period.  It is best for the body to process the nebulized solution at its fullest strength, without competing with other substances in the body.  It is also not possible to test all supplements for compatibility with Lyme-N.  If you can live without it for 60 days, then don’t take them.  You can resume taking supplements immediately when the Lyme-N treatment cycle is complete.

29) Can I take vitamins or over the counter medications while nebulizing?
Normal amounts of common vitamins are acceptable at RDA daily recommended amounts, but not mega-doses.

If an over the counter medication does not have oils or antibacterial/viral properties you can take it.  But, we are unable to test the hundreds of over the counter medications to be sure.

30) Can I take CoQ-10 and Fish Oil when nebulizing?
No. Evidence at this point suggests that these won’t necessarily halt Lyme-N activity, but they may impede Lyme-N activity, as Lyme-N is a gas and these contain oil.

31) What actions are recommended for oral care while nebulizing?
In our research experience with Lyme-N, we have noticed that it is fairly common for chronic Lyme patients to have ongoing oral issues such as receding gums, bleeding gums, root canals, toothaches and infections, multiple crowns, jaw pain, etc.  This makes complete sense since the spirochetes are trapped and living in the oral cavity.  They come up in body fluids through the gums and can’t go back because of the intense outward pressure on the walls of the gums.

Individuals are asked to brush their teeth regularly using standard grocery store baking soda during nebulizing and weekly, for life, thereafter. Regular baking soda is preferred over toothpastes that contain baking soda in some fractional amount. Periodic gargling, one to two times per week, with standard over the counter 3% hydrogen peroxide is also recommended. Be sure to soak your mouth appliances in a baking soda/water solution.  A good, ongoing oral hygiene suggestion is to use a waterpik flosser for cleaning between teeth.  Add a couple drops of liquid stevia to the water.  Research shows that liquid stevia will kill spirochetes.  You could also add 3 to 5 drops of liquid stevia to a shot glass of water and wish it in your mouth for a couple of minutes, a few times a week, to clean the oral cavity.

32) If I accidently spill Lyme-N on clothes or furniture or a carpet how can I remove it?
Clothes/Carpet:    Oxy clean Foam
Skin or eyes:          Flush with water
Teeth:                     Hydrogen peroxide gargle/rinse

33) Do I need to Detox while nebulizing?
No, Lyme-N is composed of inorganic minerals.  In a gaseous state, these minerals are known to take toxins with them when they leave the body.  Lyme-N is a gradual kill off and the spirochete are small enough that the toxins are removed on a daily basis.  It is not recommended to detox.  You risk the chance of eliminating Lyme-N from your system as you detox as well as interfering with the education of the detoxing process the body needs to learn by participating in it.  Even after finishing Lyme-N, the body still has dead organisms to eliminate for months.  Be patient and let your body get educated in this process.
Epsom salt baths and regular saunas are ok.  Infrared saunas ARE NOT ok.

34) Is it ok to get an MRI or radiology while nebulizing?
Yes, It is fine to get an MRI or radiology while doing the protocol.

35) I have to undergo drug testing for work.  Will anything show up I should be aware of in my testing or bloodwork?.
No, nebulizing with Lyme-N is like taking a mineral supplement.  Nothing should appear different in drug testing or bloodwork.

36)  What can I do to verify that I have Lyme when the Lab tests are known to be inaccurate?  Spirochetal populations are typically evident in saliva (although some coinfections are not). Through MacTechImaging@aol.com, you can get an optical saliva test completed.  It is $275 and you can get the kit from the Lyme-N literate doctors.  This is only for those interested in partaking in the protocol and this testing is not offered to the public. In some cases, especially if one has been on antibiotics or natural remedies.  It can require hours of imaging to detect spirochetes.  MacTechImaging is involved in the ongoing research of Lyme-N and its efficacy. 

We are currently working with PCR testing alongside saliva testing to gather data to be able to interpret PCR testing accurately, post treatment, to verify elimination of the spirochetal population.

DNA Connections and George Mason University offer urine tests which are 99% accurate from what we understand.  These tests run $500.

37)  What testing should be done after treatment to verify spirochetal population elimination?        The optical saliva test is the only accurate test at this point.  You must have your teeth cleaned at the end of the treatment before doing the post-test as spirochetes can be in plaque and must be removed with a professional cleaning.  This is a requirement.  It is the only way to know for sure that they are all eliminated.

We have had one known case where the spirochetal population was not eliminated.  We gather that it may have been from a 90 day intense protocol for a major disease this person was on and finished 10 days prior to starting Lyme-N.  (this person nebulized again and was successful at eliminating the spirochetes). 

You can to verify elimination of the population about 60 days post treatment through this optical imaging.  The saliva should be clear of living spirochetes; however, there will most likely be a residual population of dead or partial spirochetes.  Periodically, we see a few stray living spirochetes if an individual has oral appliances, root canals or other areas the spirochetes can hide from the Lyme-N gases when nebulizing.

With further research, we are hoping to be able to evaluate spirochetal population and coinfection elimination through PCR testing.  The PCR tests look for DNA levels.  After treatment there will still be DNA present in the body as not all dead organisms will have been eliminated 60 days after treatment.  So, these tests will be positive.  We will be evaluating the period needed and levels declining over time to enable us to rely on these tests. 

Beware not to interpret positive results from post treatment tests looking for DNA or antibodies as a bad indication.  These will and should be positive.  We have some people claiming to have post positive tests.  After further investigation, it has come to our attention that these positive results were for antigens, DNA, or antibodies only.  Not the active infection.

We will also be researching the PCR results for various coinfections before and after treatment as we are able to do so.  We are also interested in learning the DNA levels that may occur with a new exposure, after the Lyme-N treatment, during the various phases as the body fights the infection and thereafter.  This way there will be a means to interpret new exposure through this testing and how the levels change.

All of this research is of importance because most people assume that symptoms present during and soon after treatment… represent current active infection.  This is not the case at all and it needs to be measured and proven.  An example of this being; if a person breaks an arm and has it reset, the arm would be fixed but there is still much pain as it heals.  It can take even a year or more for it to feel normal.  It is the same with Lyme Disease.  After treatment, there can be much unseen neurological damage that must be healed.

Will Lyme-N kill all of my current infections?

Lyme-N does not eliminate every infection a person could possibly have.  If one remains symptomatic and does not gradually get better, has no oral mouth issues, is not exposed to family members who have not been treated, and was not a chronic patient with potential damage left behind; then, there was probably an additional infection present that Lyme-N may not have eliminated.  We do have a few patients who do not continually recover and feel better.  These patients have eliminated their spirochetes but it is a mystery as to why they continue to be symptomatic.  For example, we know Lyme-N does not eliminate Hepatitis-C or cancer and some funguses.

38) How do I go about getting Lyme-N?

Partaking in the Lyme-N Protocol is part of a research effort with specific pre-selected Lyme-N literate doctors.  We are working together to gather data documenting the viability of Lyme-N to kill spirochetes and other infections.  In order to be a part of this program, you need to be recommended by your Lyme-N literate doctor.   Participants make a “non-tax-deductible” donation of $3800 ($1900 for pre-adolescent children) towards this research effort, must commit to, preselected, periodic follow-up appointments with your Lyme-N literate doctor, complete requested documentation, get professional teeth cleaning done at the end of the treatment, as well as to committing to particular post testing.  If you are interested, find the Lyme-N literate doctor closest to you and ask if he/she would consider you to be part of this study.
