What have you heard about tickborne Lyme for the last 30 years? That it’s rare, scary, acute, treatable? The government warns about its spread and implores people to go to a doctor upon seeing the telltale bulls-eye rash.
So, what happens when they actually do?
Many have researched the controversial beginnings of Lyme disease, but this article focuses on what happens to victims when they contract it, and the ongoing cover-up in the mainstream medical community and the CDC itself.
Under Our Skin is a documentary that lends a voice to the many who in fact suffer from chronic Lyme and are victims of a greater abomination.
Why do conventional doctors tell them it’s in their head? Why won’t they quickly test for it? Treat it? Acknowledge it? Why do medical boards shut down doctors who can treat and cure Lyme?
Lyme’s Disease is Not Rare – It is Bigger Than AIDS
In the late '70s, a Lyme, Connecticut mom reported a mysterious new disease sweeping the town, leaving its people with debilitating, chronic symptoms. In 1981, Dr. Willy Burgdorfer discovered the Lyme bacteria, called Borrelia burgdorferi.
The bacteria spirochetes closely resemble syphilis in their make up. While a carrier tick is feeding, its backwash enters the host and transmits Lyme. The corkscrew spirochetes wreak havoc, drilling into any healthy cells and tissue. They create painful, crippling neurological and immunological damage.
In the beginning, doctors only knew that it resembled syphilis, but remained unaware of its wide spread, how to proceed, and the political-medical clash that awaited them.
In recent years, the CDC has reported over 35,000 new Lyme cases annually, but admits that since symptoms are so overlooked the actual number may be 12 times higher, up to 420,000 cases each year.
Think of how much more likely it is to contract Lyme than the media-touted fear of West Nile virus, which is only reported at around 1,300 cases annually. If the actual number of Lyme cases is even just a modest amount above the CDC’s 35,000, then Lyme is far more prevalent than AIDS, reported at 39,000 cases annually.
Since 1982, the number of cases continues to climb and spike prompting media reports and health officials to label it an epidemic as early as 1989. Reported cases have tripled since 1992. Every summer we hear the same cautionary reports. Yet, doctors constantly tell their patients: “You don’t have Lyme,” or “Lyme only happens in such-and-such state, not here.”
Lyme is a national health crisis in every state and has traveled the globe!
Since this infectious disease is viewed with eyes that won’t see and hands that won’t treat, the miniscule 35,000 reported cases are unquestionably a mere fraction of people sick with Lyme.
Patients often look normal and are told they have M.S., Lou Gehrig’s, psychological disorders, Parkinson’s, ADHD but not Lyme. Therefore, many walk around with Lyme and have no clue why they are so ill, why treatments don’t work and are left to wonder. Many are left to die.
Without Early Eradication Lyme is Chronic, Expensive, Does Not Leave Easily
Lyme patients often state that they’ve seen an average of 30 doctors, spent over $100,000 in medical care and waited up to 15 years for a Lyme diagnosis. Why??
Lyme disease antibodies can be detected early with a blood test. If caught early it can be treated with an inexpensive bottle of antibiotics. But that is rarely the case. Patients are told it’s not Lyme, it won’t be tested for, it’s something else and so the struggle begins….When the patient remains ill, why, it couldn’t possibly be chronic Lyme because doctors view it as acute and are not allowed to believe chronic Lyme exists. If “acute” Lyme isn’t cured with two weeks of antibiotics, which it won’t be if the bacteria has taken hold due to waiting, then the patient is told it must be something else and years of sickness, pain, and ineffective treatments ensue.
Talk to someone who’s been through this battle. They will most likely tell you they were dismissed and referred to psychiatrists and multiple specialists.
Lyme can attack any area of the body and manifest endless symptoms. Lyme patients have seen specialists for chronic pain, arthritis, Chrohn’s, iritis, organ failure, brain and neurological problems, dyslexia, insomnia . . . you name it. All for one disease that could have been treated early. But no one will believe them, and after seeing so many specialists they are often labeled crazy, hypochondriacs, attention loving, and depressed.
The spirochetes can cleverly avoid the antibiotics and hide from the immune system. It’s frightening to think that specialists often prescribe immune suppressive drugs – the most counterproductive plan for Lyme patients.
The CDC now hints at chronic Lyme with sarcastic quotation marks and insists that it be called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). They openly admit that the first round of conventional treatment might not bring a cure, and that the patient is in for a long ride of pain and sometimes years of antibiotics -- the only recognized conventional treatment.
They lie and state that there is no credible scientific evidence that PTLDS is caused by persistent infection, that it must be residual damage, that the Lyme is gone. They also make a big point in telling people to avoid their own research on the Internet; not to believe the inaccurate information out there, just keep seeing the doctor who left them untreated for so long.
The CDC says before PTLDS treatment takes place, confirm the diagnosis – fat chance that will happen.
So how did that fiasco begin?
Stay tuned for part 2 of this series....

Good lord, buy a bottle of colloidal silver and any parasitic, bacteriological, fungal disease is easily eliminated.
Me and my family haven't been to a doctor in 4 years, funnily, just when I found out about colloidal silver!
Yup, I just got Lyme disease, again, second time I've had it. The symptoms I've had, in order, are first you start feeling really tired, then you get a fever, then a rahs manifests at or near where the tick bit you. the rash has a bullseye pattern.
The treatment is doxycyclene, and it's $20 for a bottle of pills. I felt a lot better in a couple days each time I got the bottle of pills, but apparently it can become chronic if you don't get treated. The rash can be somewhere hard to notice, like on your head, and it's not neccessarily painful.
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ANTIBIOTICS IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE LYME. This recent time I had to go twice to the doctors to convince them to write a prescription, the first doctor wouldn't give me one because I had no rash (yet) and because many doctors tend to get hostile when patients come to them with their own diagnosis. Remember that doctors are idiots, the internet is your friend for medical research.
By the way, the full documentary is available on netflix, I'm going to watch it for sure, thanks for making it. My mother has had lyme disease twice and my father multiple times - they both live in Connecticut and do a lot of yard work outside. It is frightening how prevalent this disease is becoming. Vigilance, knowlege, and antibiotics can keep it from doing permanent damage though, if we stay indoors all the time the ticks win.
Chronic Post Treatment Lyme sufferer here. I have been through everything with this disease. I finally found an llmd (lyme literate medical doctor) who recognized my symptoms and diagnosed me after many years. His approach was some herbal remedies that failed and then a year of intense antibiotics. I saw some improvement at the beginning, I was having some good herxes (die-off reaction, very unpleasant). Then the antibiotics worked only at longer and longer intervals until I got no reaction. At this point I was considered cured by the few in the medical community because there were no spirochetes to be found. Was this true? Yes, at that particular time I didn’t have active spirochetes circulating in my blood. Did I feel any better? No. I did a lot more research at this point and educated myself. Lyme is much more insidious than just active corkscrews drilling around. When I took those antibiotics and most herbal remedies (including colloidal silver), the lyme bug knew that they were in a hostile environment and did something about it. They are smart! They have survival mechanisms! Lyme as at least 2 other forms not spoken enough of. They can go into cyst form and hide for years producing no symptoms in the host. When they do burst, up to 5 can come out where only 1 went in. They particularly like to pop around the fall and spring solstices. Now you are re-infected and must maintain whatever killing protocol you have been doing. But there is that third form that still has not been acknowledged or dealt with, the L-form or cell wall deficient form (CWD). This is were a little lyme colony gets together and get real close with their neighbors and throw a survival party. They shed their walls which are the susceptible component to most killing protocols. They shrink down so small that normal microscopes can’t see them. Then they enter any cell they like and hide and cause much havoc. They especially like macrophages and white blood cells of the innate immune system. They have further ways of disrupting the innate immune system and delaying cell death so that they can slowly take control. People start getting diagnosis of all things autoimmune and mental disorders and every other chronic condition that there is no cure for. No medication can kill them in our own cells. What can? Only our own innate immune system which God designed for that purpose. A research scientist named Trevor Marshall has figured out how to re-activate the innate immune system and de-rail any CWD bacteria and other pathogens as well. I am on his protocol, called the Marshall Protocol (MP) and am finally seeing healing! Ironically the MP is more controversial in mainstream medicine than lyme itself. The MP must be followed as directed or it is very dangerous, but I am here to say it works. I see it in my life and in a community of thousands being cured. Check out mpkb.org for more info and curemyth1.org to talk with actual people going through this and realize there is hope!
Healing to All,
Lymie
I am allergic to antibiotics - hopefully following links in article and comments will give me help. Thanks very much for this article - timely for me.

Lyme Disease (May 16, 2011)
Subject: Lymes Disease

Hello Ken,
I was wondering if the zapper protocol works well on Lymes disease.. I have several friends who are so debillitated by Lymes that they have issues walking, heart issues, anger issues, memory loss... etc.. I'd really like to give the folks I know an alternative to the medicines they are on, even though holistic, seems to be not helping as much as I'd like.

Hi Susan,
Zapping is a germ fighting technique. A zapper is a tool. Dr. Hulda Clark talks about the benefits of daily zapping in all of her books. It is not a cure-all for any disease, it is simply an electronic tool that reduces the population of most germs found in the body. Curing the body of any disease condition requires knowledge and understanding of how the disease process works and how to stop it from working. This information is explained in the books of Hulda Clark which is why I keep telling people to obtain and study the books of Hulda Clark.

Lyme is a bio-engineered disease that was created in government bio-weapon labs like Ft Detrick, MD or Plum Island, NY. It was designed to be nearly impossible to defeat, thus it's very hard to cure. It's more of a danger to the general population than AIDS ever was. Because it is composed of a germ system that revolves through multiple stages from spirochete to cyst, it's hard to get rid of it.
The drugs that are prescribed for lyme can improve the symptoms for a while, but they are only temporarily holding the symptoms in check; they are not curing the disease. The Lyme sub-systems burrow deeper into the body over time, invading all organ systems and eventually overwhelming the body's normal defense response.
It may or may not be completely defeat-able, but you can hold it in check so it doesn't continue to ravage the body. It's not easy to accomplish that, however. The topic of treating Lyme is huge and can't be covered in this email.
Like cancer, Lyme is a money maker for the pharmaceuticals who, of course, are in bed with the psychopaths running the (mostly military) bio-weapons "research" facilities and are responsible for creating these ravaging diseases.
The cover story about getting it from ticks is partly true, but the ticks were intentionally infected to create the cover story and account for Lyme's origin (Ole Lyme, Connecticut. Right). Like the Green monkey in Africa cover story for HIV/AIDS, it's complete BS.
Our treasonous friends in the Air Force have been dropping Lyme with chemtrails for many years now. Because of chemtrails, most people have Lyme and they don't know it.
I'll be posting more info on fighting Lyme in future articles, but for now, I would obtain all of Hulda Clark's books and learn how to improve the body's immune system and stop polluting your body with the wrong foods and body products, so it can better fight the disease.
I would recommend that everyone get a zapper and use it daily. It pays big dividends once you start using it regularly. The MST is particularly convenient because of the silver electrodes and the ES jack and DC power pak options which can be added to the basic zapper box.
Let me know.
Regards, Ken

Chronic Lyme sometimes is caused by a genetic susceptibility to biotoxins, causing chronic illness. (The same general genetic susceptibility also can cause chronic illness from biotoxins on mold spores.) The remedy needs to include detox. One MD has already developed a treatment plan that works, backed up with clinical trials and alot of serious medical research. As much as anyone is covering up Chronic Lyme, they are covering up or ignoring this medical research: http://www.survivingmold.com/
Also, Diatomaceous Earth works as an alternative substance to detox from biotoxins.
Hi and thanks for the above comments. Lyme is a very complex disease that just silver or antibiotics may not eradicate it. There are co infections such as babesia which is malaria like and requires totally different medication. There are other co infections often present which need special treatment and then there are cell wall deficient forms, spirochete forms, etc. Antibiotics while assisting killing the forms susceptible, often disarm the immune system rendering parasitic, fungal and other illness. My family beat a decade of this undiagnosed disaster with a combination of antibiotics, natural remedies, rife frequencies and persistence and prayer. Best you you and never give up. See ILADS, MDL, Central Florida Research Labs, IGENEX labs and Lifelyme. Hugs, Anne, MLT, RN
I've been following an oral protocol from my Naturopath since I couldn't get any of the 20 doctors/specialists I've seen over the past 16 years to admit I had Lyme. I was dismissed and told it was all in my head...there was nothing wrong with me. I also have a Rife machine, which I use for 2 hours every other day, and I do steams for 45 minutes on the days I don't use the Rife. I gave this horrible disease to my children while I was pregnant. Hopefully, we'll continue to improve and they won't show the awful symptoms I did because it went undiagnosed for so many years. We also have CFS, HHV6, and EBV co-infections. My 8 year old was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes a year ago...not sure if that has anything to do with the Lyme or not. Never can tell. I also lived in Wading River, NY (next to a "non-operational" Nuclear Power Plant) AND had Papillary Thyroid Cancer two years ago. If you are reading this and have lost all hope, don't give up. There are doctors who can help you! We are being treated at Envita Medical Center in Scottsdale, AZ. They specialize in Lyme disease and I have improved GREATLY and AMAZINGLY since I started my treatments nearly 1 year ago. They do have more expensive IV treatments, but my budget didn't allow for that at this time. The oral protocol is quite reasonable considering I have my life back. On a side note, IGENIX is where Envita sent my Lyme test (which came back Positive on Western Blot AND ELISA). Meanwhile, I saw an infectious disease doctor a week later and my results from Sonora labs came back negative (AGAIN)! Don't give up and don't let anyone tell you there's nothing wrong with you! www.envita.com
Hi! I am also a "chronic" Lyme Disease patient. After sixteen years of doctors and specialists telling me there was nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head, I went to Envita Medical Center in Scottsdale, AZ. They specialize in Lyme Disease (and all Cancer and chronic disease). I am following an oral protocol (antibiotics for first 3 months in combination with natural remedies) and I use a Rife machine for two hours every other day. I also do steam showers for 45 minutes on the days I don't use the Rife. I passed this horrible disease to my children while I was pregnant. We also suffer from EBV, CFS and HHV6 co-infections. Envita sent my Western Blot and ELISA to IGENIX. Both came back positive on me and my 8 year old son. He was also diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes one year ago. My children are luckily showing no Lyme symptoms and the protocols we are following are dramatically working. We started nearly one year ago and I cannot fully express to you how much better I feel. It is an amazing difference in my life. I'm here to tell you to not give up and go see a doctor who is willing to listen, test appropriately, and diagnose properly. You can visit Envita's website at www.envita.com. Using the correct protocol and changing your diet can save your life! It saved mine and the lives of my kids!
Take care!!!!

Dear Anonymous "Good Lord" commenter - My best friend has chronic Lyme and has taken colloidal silver for years to the point it shows up in her blood - and she still has it. Lyme is a little more complex than you think.

Rethink Pasteur's germ theory
Goodbye germ theory
Read those books above.
I got bit, had lyme, 4 years later now I don't. Never took antibiotics.
I am not unique. I know many others who healed their body's the right way. Antibiotics don't do anything but suppress the systems natural response to the tick's toxins AND actually cause the "chronic lyme" symptoms.
Germs are the way the gov't and big pharma control people thru fear-mongering. Pasteur was wrong. Bechamp was right. Stop leaving in fear about "catching" something.

Everything becomes obvious when you realize that Lyme disease is a bioengineered weapon. It is not intended to be treated effectively. This explains the collusion between the NIH, the CDC, the AMA and the insurance companies. I believe that for everyone of these bioengineered weapons there is an antidote reserved for the elites.
As a previous poster said, there are three forms of Lyme
Chronic Lyme Disease
http://www.chroniclymedisease.com/borrelia_burgdorferi_bacterial_forms
Each form is treated with different type of medication; early detection and treatment are critical before it takes on the cyst form. The cyst form is the most difficult to eradicate. I’ve heard that the Rife machine is having positive results. There are also certain opportunistic co-infections that one should be tested for.
The Western Blot Test, one of the main tests for determining Lyme infection, is unreliable. Yet the medical profession uses this test as the criteria for treatment.

Lyme Disease and Biowarfare: Another Accidental Release of Information
http://www.elenacook.org/lymebw_accidental_release_info.html
I was very fortunate. I caught it early, which is key, but getting proper treatment from the "medical establishment" was impossible so I had to find a Lyme doctor.
However, to make matters worse, most Lyme doctors are not covered by your medical insurance policy; this is part of the collusion. Often you have to be prepared to pay out of pocket.
