Today, on Yahoo search, Lyme Disease was the 4th most searched term.
I don't find this at all unbelievable. As Lyme Disease grows it's beginning to effect well known public figures. Actress Parker Posey now has it.
But I wonder how long she's had it and as you know, the longer you've had it the harder it can be to get rid of. My feelings are that she probably has had Lyme Disease for a while, but has just now gotten a diagnosis for it...like most people with Lyme.
Anyway, I'm sadden to hear of it. And I hope she recovers completely.

Internal Cleansing To Fight Lyme Disease Damage and To Beer or Not To Beer
The Internal Cleanse
Back from my first Triathlon this past weekend in Charleston, SC, I’m ready to do one of the last major cleanses for this year. I really do believe that many health issues can be resolved when we detox ourselves fully and so far I’ve been feeling the effects of them!
I have a high school friend who likes to do something “crazy”once a year for her birthday. Last year we biked from Philly to DC in 4 days on mountain bikes (that’s about
80-100 miles a day on trails!). Since I turn the same age at the end of the year, naturally I always take her up on her challenges.
I decided to go for the triathlon simply because I knew training a little for it would prepare me for this fall when I go train at altitude (the beginning of the training for the U.S. Indoor World Championships in Qatar).
But after doing only 3 training swims (first time swimming since 2003) and doing 5 “bike and runs” on the weekends, I had no idea I would place 3rd in the Open/Elite division. In fact, I rode a mountain bike with hybrid tires and naturally I had to work OVERTIME to try to stay up with the others…which I didn’t and I probably lost about 10 minutes over the 13 miles we rode. Those 10 minutes would have put me in first place!
I was so impressed by some of the older men and women there who were sooo FIT. It was beyond impressive. One guy passed me on his bike. Well, actually lot of guys passed me on the bike part, but since our ages are clearly marked on our calves, I noticed one man who was 59
who flew past me. Gosh, I really need to get a road bike, but it wasn’t like I was standing still by any means!
I should also mention that I kept remembering to drink while riding which I noticed many who weren’t and I think that’s why I blew past everyone on the run.
I noticed many who got off their bikes and immediately had “Charlie Horses” in their calves…but I had the secret weapon. Guess what it was? Taste Sensitive Electrolytes!
They tasted like pure salt while I was biking (which indicates I was in desperate need of it. Everyone else had their “GU” packets but other than providing a quick dose of glucose and perhaps a little caffeine and protein, it didn’t give them their electrolytes properly. I had one of these packets in addition to the electrolytes, so I had everything covered!
.....So I’m hooked on triathlons and will be probably doing more of these to build a base for the rest of my track and field career because I believe it’s going to prepare me for the long racing season.
It was a lot of fun and it is a really good fun sport to plan for participating in if you’re sick. I always say you have to have real physical goals when you’re ill, because saying you just want to feel better is way too VAGUE.
*Met a few nice people who had Lyme
Disease and friends with Lyme Disease at the Tri (all because of my Lyme Disease shirt).
Yep, I'm trying out a frequency ( I Wasn't Lying) see my necklace. :)
To Beer or Not To Beer
Well, I should also admit that I had 7 beers the night before the triathlon and I didn’t sleep at all because I was bitten some months earlier by a tick (see this newsletter here) at this friend’s house INDOORS on her couch. So when I arrived at 12:00 midnight I couldn’t
sleep because I kept thinking ticks were crawling on me. And then at 5:00 am we were up getting ready!
Now, the truth is when I get serious when running I may have a beer every now and then (which means once a month, if that much), but drinking alcohol does two things that aren’t helpful.
One…it can rob your body of IRON (once you go deficient it takes months to get it back).
Secondly… it taxes your liver and you people who are sick (or just training hard physically) shouldn’t be putting any unnecessary burden on your liver. In most
people, it’s super taxed already…especially those with LYME!
....Back To Cleansing
With the actual bacteria in check, keeping your nutrients balanced and detoxing are probably two of the most important things you can do to repair your body and move on with your life.
One of my reasons for having “wild” success is because I’m getting rid of toxins I’ve accumulated for YEARS (30 years to be exact). And boy does it feel good to get rid of them!
I don’t suggest anyone who is seriously battling Lyme and who has all kinds of OTHER issues which need to be taken care of do any kind of major internal cleanse. (Do you want to know about all of the OTHER issues in detail? See Arden for getting coaching from me.)
It can be tough on the body and some people will have “healing crisis” or “herx reactions” because their body is going to be dumping so much of its waste and it can be physically taxing.
It’s a once a year type of thing for people who are healthy and are not totally in the middle of beating back Lyme. You know who you are!
This is the internal cleanse I’m doing right now
It’s a lot of a lot of and it’s worth it!
And having my nutrients balanced on top of that makes this cleanse work BIG TIME. Because all of the essential nutrients in your body go towards the processes that help you
eliminate waste and repair damage done to your organs (from Lyme and from toxins and even medications).
If you haven’t balanced your nutrients yet, shame on you!
Seriously, what are you waiting for?
Here’s what another Tick Slayer just wrote me a few weeks ago about it:
While I’m training and racing, I will be doing much simpler things to detox because I think it’s DETRIMENTAL TO MY HEALTH and CONTINUAL MAINTENANCE.
It’s just impossible to do massive ones like this and not feel the effects, which means my training would suffer and it might not be so prudent to be pushing physically so hard while so much of your body’s energy should and WILL be going to detoxing and repairing. So the time is now. You figure out when the time is right for you.
And if you need a real plan and approach (on many things not mentioned in the newsletters), get some coaching from me!
See ya later Tick Slayer,

P.S. Could HPU (KPU) Be Making You SICK and Tired?
In a past newsletter (see this newsletter here) I wrote about how a well known LL MD, said 80% of his Lyme patients had HPU (false term is called KPU) and how it can be responsible for chronic fatigue and it this metabolic sickness basically, disarms the immune system by depleting the body of minerals like zinc. Zinc is also what is used to squash the problem!
Dr. Mercola wrote me and told me that tasting zinc doesn't work. I'm still in a debate about
this. I personally believe the effectiveness of John Kitkoski's taste sensitive minerals. I've had an explosively good reaction with them! I have tried to taste zinc tablets before but it always tasted terrible and seem to do nothing. But using the liquid zinc in the kit has always been taste sensitive (either good or it turns bad when I've had my fill).
For those who are using the taste sensitive minerals, I would double or triple my
suggested drop dosage on the bottle until the "whammy" starts to taste strange or NOT SO DELICIOUS (you know the drill) and then you can back off of the zinc part until you want to test yourself again to see if you need it.....
Because there is a good chance you probably have HPU and you can combat it this way. ..and
this is probably why it's not an issue with me.

Preping The Mind For Lyme Beating Excellence - Chinese Medicine
This week I went to a Chinese Medicine Doctor. This lady doctor owns a well known Acupuncture and Chinese
Medicine School in Asheville, North Carolina.
After my brief conventional Lyme treatment try back in 2005, she was able to help me walk up stairs again
and this was the first step for me in rebuilding my body …even though I still had a long way to go for a full recovery and still had many unanswered questions.
I went to see her again for a few reasons. One is that I haven’t seen her in several years and I wanted to let her know how I was doing. The second was to see if there were any issues I still needed to work on, because I seek excellence in health and am unwilling to leave any stone unturned. Just because I've done a 180 doesn't mean I'm going to LET UP anytime soon. Good health is something you constantly nurture.
Dr. C has an amazing ability to read people. I’m sure that is something she was taught in China when she studied medicine over there. Dr. C has not only worked on my body’s physical system as a whole, but she has worked on my emotional well-being and helped me release a lot of anger/fear and other poisonous emotions that surfaced while treating Lyme.
I didn’t tell her how well I was doing when I first saw her. I wanted to see if she could tell how well I really was. She told me exactly what I thought…which was, WOW you’re ready to run. I was always trying to get her to say that a few years ago, but both of us knew that I had a long way to go.
I’ll be working with Dr. C up until The World Championships in 2010 on any small issues which can be eradicated and also about any lingering negative emotions which might be eliminated.
I told her about the book and how it became a catharsis for me, not only to pass along to everyone what I knew but also to cleanse myself of the stressful situations and emotions which surfaced during my own personal hell the last few years. (Go to www.TheTickSlayer.com or more info.)
One of the first things she said to me was that I was still holding on to something. Her real interest is helping me make sure there is no lingering VICTIM TALK going on in my head because when I return to racing full time I will have to race and train like there never was a disease. This is probably one of the hardest parts of healing.. is to let all of the HELL you've been through go.
I wrote a newsletter some weeks ago about this same situation, so it was interesting to hear her say this and be of like mind with me. She told me a story about a woman who had cancer and she advised her NOT to go to the cancer meetings. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?
So for the rest of the year, most of my “Health Maintenance” will actually be on working on my emotional well being with Dr. C as well as making myself a real ROCK physically.
As far as Chinese Medicine goes, I think if you find someone who really knows what they are doing (true with anything right?) it can be a very helpful and supportive therapy to get. It obviously isn't the ENTIRE picture, but with Lyme Disease ALL help is HELP and works towards the end goal, being LYME FREE.
Health Reform Is A Bust
A newsletter receiver (and fellow Tick Slayer) sent me this email (Thank you, Desiree).
For health reasons I’ve been trying to stay slightly ignorant on this topics (because I'm the type of person when I get angry...I REALLY get angry), but I will pass this along to you, because from what I see we have a HUGE problem surfacing if health care is reformed the way that the current administration wants it. It won’t be good for people with Lyme Disease. If you thought you have it bad now…just wait.
Don’t get upset, just pass it on and write your representatives (That’s supposedly what they are
there for.)
Copy of the bill:
http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-BillText-071409.pdf
Here are a few big ones from the list I was emailed:
● Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free healthcare services.
● Page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
● Page 65: Taxpayers will subsidize all union retiree and community organizer health plans (read: SEIU, UAW and ACORN)
● Page 195: Officers and employees of Government Healthcare Bureaucracy will have access to ALL American
financial and personal records.
● Page 241: Doctors: no matter what specialty you have,you'll all be paid the same (thanks, AMA!) If you think doctors are bad now, wait until they all get paid the same!
● Page 265: Government mandates and controls productivity for private healthcare industries. **Note:Private healthcare is what got me healthy!
● Page 354: Government will restrict enrollment of SPECIAL NEEDS individuals.
People with Lyme really need to have choices for healthcare, which include alternative options. When our choices are limited, people with Lyme WILL suffer.
Because the ONE SHOE DOES NOT FIT ALL, THE CONVENTIONAL ROUTE WILL NOT WORK. Individualized, personal care is the real winner.
“CHOICE: It’s how you get healthy.”
That would be my anti-slogan for this.
If this is important to you and you want others to know about the looming problem that faces all of us, then pass this on to your friends and family……
Ahhh The Weekend Is Here
The weekend is a great time to relax and to also think about a plan to get healthy. On the BeatLyme.com Blog there are some back issues of this newsletter. Take the time to re-read some of the older newsletters to see if there is anything YOU might be missing out on.
If I write about something, it means it’s pertinent to and serious on the subject of Lyme Disease. Although I do try to keep the newsletters personal and entertaining, when I mention products and treatments and schools of thought…they’re things I HAVE USED personally to overcome my own health crisis.
I spent a number of years experimenting on myself, researching and finding my own way out of this mess with the same tenacity and dedication I have when it comes to training and racing.
So re-read and USE the information!

Dr. Lendon Smith wrote a book called, Feed Your Body Right. The book is an excellent read and talks about how simple balancing of nutrients is the key to success from ADD to Cancer. He raves about the Complete Health Kit in the book towards the end. If you want to know about how Dr. Smith was using simple methods that adhere to "God's law of human chemistry"- then check this book out today! It's a good read.

Using Minerals To Beat Lyme Disease..and the Scoop of Frequencies!
I’m still going through material that I gathered at the Lyme-Autism conference
and I’m trying to report on some of the most significant information that I’ve personally experienced (so I know it’s true).
During a conversation with Dr. Joe Mercola, we were discussing what Dr. Klinghardt was saying about Lymies (excuse me TICK SLAYERS) having mineral deficiencies. Dr. Klinghardt hit this one right on the head.
As I’ve been trying to pound into everyone’s brain, the issue is nutrient deficiencies. I cannot say it loudly enough that it should be priority #1 to fix. How else is your body going to perform
against the onslaught of viruses, bacteria, mold, fungus, yeast, stress, pollution, EMF?…the list goes on and on.
Dr. Klinghardt, along with some other doctors, is big into taking minerals. Unfortunately for my case, I didn’t find out about this until my last year of healing, but getting my minerals balanced was another HUGE step in the right direction…so in my opinion, it’s always better late, than NEVER.
Minerals keep the immune system working. They keep the NK cells and macrophages
pumped up. These are the cells that are the “fighter cells.” Klinghardt says that Lyme patients are most often depleted in copper, magnesium, manganese and iron.
Copper and iron are needed for phagocytosis (the process of devouring the “bad guys”). I remember part of my intense fatigue was simply because I was very low in iron as many people with Babesiosis are. Once I discovered this and corrected the problem, it was another big breakthrough. (Now taking the smell sensitive iron in my kit is all I need to keep it optimum and not have to worry about anemia.) Mind blowing as it seems, I had two doctors, well known LL MDs actually look over my blood work and never picked up on the problem. Hemogoblin is usually on the CBC panel, but Ferritin (your body storage levels of iron) is what should be tested as well. If you don’t have the test, it’s easy enough to just smell what you need now with the kit. But know that iron (for example) is already a nutrient that many people (especially women) are low in. So having something like Babesiosis on to of that means there is a good chance some of
your fatigue could be because of this issue.
Klinghardt also mentions that many Lyme patients suffer from Purroluria. The term is HPU and 80% of his Lyme patients were reported having it. The false term is KPU. This metabolic sickness, disarms the immune system by depleting the body of minerals like zinc (300 enzymes are dependent on this one mineral) and manganese.
Klinghardt further says, “Filling up your body’s mineral reserves has always been the most essential part of our heavy metal detox program. It is also the most essential part of our Lyme treatment.”
This makes sense to me because zinc can displace toxic metals, and almost every Lyme patient will have some type of issue with metals. Heavy metal can attack the body’s methylation pathways. This is a pathway crucial for your body as it detoxes you.
After hearing Dr. Klinghardt, Dr. Mercola was asking me about taking minerals. I simply told him about the taste sensitive minerals I had been on and we agreed that it’s probably what’s been working so well for me and further investigation into this KPU for me, was not an
issue.
I’m perfectly aware that, just like you, we probably have many similar viruses as well. All humans do. But it makes sense that replacing CRUCIAL elements like your essential minerals could really do wonders for you. It did for me. So I pass it on.
Electromagnetic Smog And Why It Could Be Making You Sick
We live in a world of cell phones, TVs, phones, wireless internet, etc. We are bombarded by the negative frequencies this technology emits and since our own bodies are electrical, we suffer, because the frequencies produced by this technology are NOT harmonizing with our own bodies.
From studies there is some astonishing evidence that over time these devices can cause harm…which can be seen by looking at someone’s blood under a microscope with and without these bad frequencies.
You may or may not have heard this, but yes, I’ve been playing with frequencies for a LONG TIME! Not only to heal Lyme and other cooties, but to charge my water, food and even air.
This is the science of the future. I do believe it because of my own experience. I go into great detail in my book. (Sign up for release information at TheTickSlayer.com) about using such devices).
My latest testing was done on some geomagnetic cards. They look like credit cards,
but on the strip there is a charge that has been placed on them. One has a frequency to heal and the other has a frequency to remineralize. In combo you can literally TAP your pain away. How
do I know? Because I’ve used them.
I made my mother use them when she had a nasty fall and had an eggplant sized
purple bruise on her leg. Not only did they help the pain, but the healing of the area with a few minutes of use with the cards was quite dramatic. I’ve seen how bruises heal. The last time I
had a purple/black bruise was when I ran up this mountain for 5 miles, turned around and was so tired I got sloppy running down. I hit a rock, giving myself a terrible ankle sprain (so bad it
would have been better had I just broken it).
My purple bruise took weeks to go away. But my mother who is 62 years old had
amazing results. See photos below:
day 1 with cards
day 2 with cards
day 3 with cards
The reason why I’m sharing this is because I’ve found a great cheap way to have someone put this proprietary charge on cards (and perhaps even jewelry). I’ve seen something similar and I’ve been spending the last few months trying out products and trying to figure out what’s best, cheapest and what ultimately WORKS. It’s good to try out these products to see if they are better than the technology that is on these cards. I want what’s best and I know you do as well.
So I’m not finished with my research, but I wanted to share with you how neat this really is.
Back in 2005, I started using a pendant a friend had made for me. He told to be careful with it because it would make me detox. I had my kinesiologist test it on me a year later. He said it made me very parasympathetic. The charge was so strong that I would run like a maniac for about 5 minutes in practice and then BLOW a fuse (probably from being so parasympathetic). What’s interesting is that this is the time I noticed symptoms from Lyme cropping up. I didn’t know it was Lyme yet because I didn’t have my race BOMB yet that made me realize I was sick. But I do recognize that there is a charge that is so powerful it can actually make you detox rapidly and kill bugs as well. There’s a good chance that I began my Lyme journey simply because I put that pendant on and OVERUSED IT. I can't confirm any of this, but if I did use the pendant again during my healing journey because I realized it was going to help me rid myself of toxins. I did use it strategically while detoxing.
Now not all of these card and pendants have this type of power because the charge (frequency put on them) can be manipulated. Frequencies that kill Lyme can be placed on an object and used. Frequencies can align water molecules so that they are easily assimilated. Here are frequencies that promote healing or remineralized tissues.
It’s quite endless. The double whammy I use is taking this aloe and charging it with my card and then ozonating it. You get highly assimilated nutrient packed and oxygenated aloe. YIPPIE! That’s good stuff.
I’m going to continue researching and will dedicate a newsletter to the topic in the near future.
See ya later Tick Slayer,
