Finding The Protocol:
When I came across the Lymephotos site, I was struck by the fact that no one I checked with in my circle of lyme researchers (and we all had our fingers on pretty obscure information) knew much about the protocol, if it worked, and so on.

Turns out, other than the authors of the site, nobody knew anyone who actually had done it.  And correspondence with the site authors, at that time, was infrequent, so there was a reluctance to give credence.  

Some thought the items used weren't "strong enough" for lyme.  And some thought the protocol itself was just too simple to work.  Others thought the level of measures or doses described might not be good over an extended time period.  

(Later, after I had been on it some time, I found a few individuals who also actually tried it, but quit when (a) big herxes hit or (b) when they reached what they thought was a "plateau" in terms of improvement.  I eventually found, a full two-thirds (66%) bailed on it at some point.)

However, I carefully studied the fascinating photos there of actual microbes "recovered" by the researchers, the descriptions, theory and so on, and realized there was a very knowledgeable microbiological background there.  I also ran the photos past someone I know at the best lyme testing lab in the country and independently confirmed expelled lyme Borellia burgdorferi bacteria pictured.  Also, I knew some aspects about the property of pure salt (not table salt) from other research, that aligned with the theory.

I have personally tried just about every possible lyme protocol there is (see below).  Over a period of time, I have been fortunate to restore myself from severe systemic and neurological lyme infection to doing well.  And, except for a trial run of Doxycycline, nearly completely without antibiotics.  Compared to the other researchers, I  realized I was probably the best candidate to be the "guinea pig".  Still, I would be pretty much on my own, flying solo, except for whatever intermittent emails possible from the site's authors.  

Testing The Protocol:
They say you can tell pioneers, they are the ones with "the arrows in their backs".  I began testing the protocol, and I can tell you now, there were some harrowing periods.  Through the years I had become very "in-tune" with my body in terms of distinguishing "herxes" (see "What Is A Herx?" at the Main Directory), given the nature of the lyme complex.  However, there were times it was a real challenge to tell if it was indeed "herx" or a progression, or regression, of the lyme infection.

However, with careful study I began to "learn" how it was working and came to understand what was occurring.  To-date, I have found the protocol to be as described at the site.  The authors have reached a point of complete absence of symptoms.  In a 9-month period, I have reached a point of just residual symptoms, helped some stubborn symptoms other methods hadn't, have achieved a higher condition than before and a return back to a productive life.  

Along the way, the Lymephotos authors and I developed a friendship and their feedback and insights have been invaluable.

There have been others who have since been piloting it as well.  Their findings have been consistent with mine.  We also found a health professional down south who had folks doing it, as well as a forward-leaning physician in the Northwest who had lyme patients on it as well.  Their findings have similarly been consistent.

As a result, it is felt appropriate to provide this research forum as an "interface" to the Lymephotos site protocol, to help others replicate the research if they so choose.  And, to offer help as folks who've "been there, done that".

  


Additional Background:

Having cured myself of severe heart arrhythmia/fibrillation a dozen years earlier using holistic and natural measures, I had become quite conversant with natural healing, and had become quite "in tune" with my body.  Before being correctly diagnosed, I could easily perceive, whatever the unknown pathogen was, it was "making its way" steadily through the system and the body was not getting a handle on it - despite quite an array of measures taken.

I was finally diagnosed at Century Wellness Clinic in Reno, with not only positive test results, but also by visual confirmation using darkfield microscopy - the doctor and I observed Borellia burgdorferi spirochete bacteria in the blood.

Including the time before finding out what the source of the infection was, "perceiving" the progressive nature of the infection, I undertook an extremely aggressive approach to seeking a resolution.  This included traveling to other states and other countries and spending a substantial sum in the process, for I could strongly feel I was literally "in a race" against time.  I discovered, like many, that allopathic treatment is extremely insufficient as is any health insurance coverage.

Even at its worst though, I still felt there was a resolution possible, it was just getting the right data.  And it was always my intention that, as I made my way back, I would try to assist others to make their way back as well.
