Lyme Acupoint Alternative Protocol

Peggy CreelmanWhere you can access the healing protocol for Lyme’s disease developed by Peggy Creelman, DOM. The protocol may not only be used by acupuncturists, muscle testers, and massage therapists, but also by anyone who wants to heal their own Lyme’s symptoms. The idea is that a daily clearing of the infection can reduce symptoms: but you have to be your own ‘constant gardener’.

You will find a list of the tools necessary, steps to follow, and diagrams to illustrate the ‘constant-gardening process’.

General Introduction

Introduction to a Very Different Lyme Disease Treatment

Lyme disease is very complicated but it’s treatment can be pretty simple. The thought is to treat it like crab grass, keep weeding it out before it overwhelms the system. The body itself rids itself of many of the bacteria by finally being able to “see” where they hide. The spirochetes are not completely eliminated, but they are kept under control. The Lyme co-infections seem to clear adequately just by weeding them out. The second strategy is to build a shield of immunity by applying homeopathics on acupuncture points. These flower remedy compilations are specific for the spirochetes and keep the points strong for many hours, much like doing an acupuncture treatment. Some people who are relatively strong may be able to maintain with just these treatments. Others will need to add the ‘chords’, placing BBs on acupuncture points to create a stronger barrier. Most will need to add herbs. Some will need to use antibiotics. The basic protocol should be sufficient for the asymptomatic, under the intermediate section there are more options presented.

The muscles, the pulses, the individual organs and bone areas all become stronger energetically on everybody. The weaker you are, the more treatments you can give yourself. It may take a month or so for the body just to begin to recuperate from the onslaught. Start with the basic protocol, and if you do not get relief keep adding sand bags to your embankment. Keep the river from overflowing.

The whole protocol should take 5 minutes or less. A few people get herxheimer’s or cleansing reactions as the immune system begins to chase the beasts. It will pass. Most asymptomatic patients are not willing to do herbs or antibiotics, so this protocol is offered as a maintenance program for all those infected spouses and children who otherwise are trusting that their immune systems can handle the bacteria. It can’t. It was not designed to treat entrenched, antibiotic resistant, long term lyme, but on some of these patients it has had a significant impact.

Anyone who has recently been bitten by a tick should definitely do antibiotics and not depend on this protocol. Antibiotics are the treatment of choice for recent infections.

Carwash

  • Order 1 vial each: Borrelia US complete, Lyme co-infections 1 & 2, Lyme gut, Lyme fungus, Lyme virus & Lyme sinus from alh@rainierconnect.com. You will need a practitioner to order.
  • Carwash: Place above vials, in a plastic bag, somewhere on the body. Make sure they are all in contact with the body or only separated by one layer of clothing.
  • Massage thoroughly every square millimeter of one hand down to the wrist bone within the time limit of a minute. Up-regulate and take more time if you need to.
  • Up-regulate by tapping up and down the back of the middle finger once. Switch hands every other day. Carwash daily with hand lotion. Strip treatment
  • Order Lyme Teasel, Cyst, Nerve & Endocrine Swipe flower essences from their respective companies and prepare. (See Swipe explanation page.)
  • Take Nerve Toner homeopathic and soak a Q-tip. Swipe the lines of the Yang meridians on the right hand. On the same hand, take Endocrine Swipe homeopathic mix, dab it on the other end of the Q-tip and swipe the Yin meridian lines. Switch to other hand every other day. Switch to left hand the next day.
  • On the Left hand swipe the Lyme Teasel and Cyst Mix horizontally on the lines indicated on their page. Switch to the right hand the second day.
  • Don’t wash hands for at least ten minutes. These four swipes help rebuild the energy of the body.

Herbs

  • Take approximately 3-4 pills twice daily of Infight III from Spring Wind Dispensary springwinddispensary.com, or take 5-8 squirters full (1 1/2-2 teaspoons) of Lyme Nettle V
    (Dragon River Herbal drsh@valornet.com) 2-3X daily on an empty stomach.

Hand Carwash

The hand contains a mini system of acupuncture points that are used to alert the immune system. In this treatment the body is taught to recognize where the bacteria are hiding by a process called up regulation. We are shining spotlights on the hidden bacteria so that the body can eliminate them. This is the upkeep that needs to be done regularly to keep the bugs from over running the garden.

Place vials of the borrelias, co-infections, and other vials on mid-line of body, or in a watchband or pocket. A tennis sweatband around the wrist is ideal for holding vials, or cut off the top of an old sock.

The simplest treatment is to massage every square millimeter of your hand in one minute and then up regulate.

Up regulate by tapping up and down the back of the middle finger from tip to base for 5 seconds. Up regulate every 30-60 seconds. Points go from testing weak to strong. Up regulation means the conveying and correction of information to the central nervous system.

The diseases will cause points to be weak, but you as a patient don’t need to know which points are weak. Just know that every square millimeter is treating multiple areas of the body.

Consider using a dual probe (Llasa/OMS.com), a crochet hook, or a mini electric massager to stimulate all the areas. The treatment is only as good as the stimulation is thorough.

Think of the fingers as being thin milk cartons with 4 edges. The meridians lie mostly on each edge of these carton, plus down the front and back. Follow the bones, as the pathway flows over them like a river over rocks.

Pay attention to tips of fingers and the nails. These are the brain points. The tail bone area is about 1/2 inch below the wrist line, so massage that whole area on both sides of the hand. The knuckles and webs of the hands are also frequently under treated. Treat the opposite hand every other treatment.

The Carwash seems to eliminate or control the co-infections without herbs or medicines. The spirochetes are more difficult. The Carwash just ‘cleans’ the bacteria from the wound, but the swipe method rebuilds the fighting force. Carwash, herbs, and swiping with flower remedies may all be necessary in the battle.

Understanding the Swipe Treatment & Recipes

What if instead of needling points, one could just swipe them with a homeopathic formula and that would create strong points like acupuncture? Simplicity increases compliance, and one could strengthen more areas at one time.

Acupuncture treatment of Lyme is about erecting an energetic field that protects an area or function. It’s kind of like fluoridation protecting the teeth. People who are strong, have strong points. Creating strong points allows you to fight whatever makes you weak.

Flower essences are usually used to treat individual emotional energies. In contrast, these combined formulas are designed to treat anyone with Lyme disease, but not any other condition.

Initially Swipes were developed to strengthen the immune system and treat the cyst form of Lyme. The Lyme Teasel formula is directed towards the spirochete invasion of the joints, the tracts of the spinal cord, and the Extraordinary Meridians. The Cyst Mix addresses where the spirochetes hide in their cyst form, such as the skin and the kidneys.

The herbal formulas are now better, and for those patients who are asymptomatic, the above swipes may not be crucial. The herbs do a fair job of strengthening immunity, which is more than antibiotics do. If a person is only willing to do one thing, than have it be herbs. For everybody else who wants to build as strong an immune defense as possible, they should do both herbs and swipes. Those that cannot do herbs, should do Lyme Teasel and Cyst swipes along with the carwash. The swipes and carwash are also the treatment of choice for infants and young children. For some children, these swipes and carwash seem to be sufficient treatment.

The main thrust of the second set of swipe treatments is to rebuild nerve and endocrine strength. The endocrine glands are like exhausted firefighters that have been working for years overtime, trying to put out the inflammatory blaze of the Lyme infection. The Endocrine Swipe treats all the points referring to the endocrine gland vials and reflex areas, and should help restore the function of these glands over a few months time. Nerve Toner strengthens spinal and cranial nerves, such as the optic and trigeminal nerves. Everybody needs these formulas as far as I can tell.

If you are chronically ill, then you will want to build as strong a firewall against the disease as possible, so use all the swipes. The carwash addresses the Lyme coinfections: (babesia, erlichea, etc.) as well as the spirochetes. Everyone should do Carwash daily.

Regular acupuncture treats just a few select points that should radiate to fill a number of weaknesses. In Lyme, the weaknesses are so pervasive that supporting all the major aspects of the nervous and immune systems becomes necessary. On most people with Lyme, all the cranial nerves, the ganglia, all the spinal tracts, and spinal nerves test to be very weak, and regular acupuncture does not seem to create or sustain a basic level of qi in these points.

RECIPES

Order flower essences for the first three swipes from fesflowers.com (1-800-548-0075) or find them at your local health food store. FES will make composit custom formulas for you, but since they only put 5 essence into one mix you will have to order two composite mixes to make each one of the formulas. The flower essences for the Endocrine swipe essences can be ordered from floralive.com (1-800-274-3727). They are rather expensive, but again, they will make you a composite formula 1 ounce bottle. All you need is one mother bottle and you can make the clones forever.

Clones: Put 1 drop of each essence or composite formula in a 2 oz. bottles and fill with brandy or Everclear. Percuss (tap) 50 times just this once and you are ready to roll. If you have a mother tincture custom mix and want to duplicate it, just add two or three drops to a 2 oz. bottle of brandy, percuss, or tap 50 times and you’ve got a clone. In this way a 2 oz. custom mix can last for years.

Since these formulas are not taken internally, there is no need to sterilize the dropper bottles.

These recipes treat the majority of my clients. Because Lyme really weakens the nervous system, you will get an occasional person who is so sensitive that they need a custom formula. Someone will have to figure that out for them through muscle testing.

INTERMEDIATE SET OF INSTRUCTIONS

If the basic program of carwash, swipes, and herbs do not keep the symptoms under control, then read on. (The acupuncturist not purporting to treat anyone long distance, she is simply sharing strategies.)

If the gut rebels from the herbs, sometimes doing the carwash for a month will clear some of the co-infections that may cause a leaky gut. Restarting the herbs slowly, gradually increasing them to the required dose, is prudent. Clearing co-infections does not mean one can return to a standard American diet of sugar, alcohol and coffee. One remains immune compromised for life and should adjust one’s habits.

While the standard set of vials contains most of the common gut, sinus bacteria and viruses, other infections require standard allopathic treatment. For example, Clostridium Difficile is a common lyme coinfection that may require antibiotics or a least the addition of saccharomyces s. boullardi probiotic to get it under control. The energy for Clostridium is included in the vial more to prevent infection than as a sole treatment. It may be necessary to find a local muscle tester who can help you sort through your difficulties. Symptoms that are not responding to any sort of treatment need professional help.

Someone who is still exhausted, sleepless and in pain could try increasing the amount of the herbs, and the frequency of the carwash and swipe treatments. Make sure that you have the Lyme virus vial that contains both XMRV and HERV-W viruses. (See Lyme Kit.) The herbs used in this protocol are rather benign, but people with Lyme can be extraordinarily sensitive to almost anything. One could also switch from the Infight 3 formula to the Western herb based Lyme Nettle 5 or vise versa, if the formulas have been in use for several months. It is probably a good idea to switch formulas every few months just to slow the development of tolerance.

Having serious Lyme disease is like being several hundred thousand dollars in debt. First the debt must be eliminated before the health can be rebuilt. The swipes and carwash produce a baseline of energy that may be adequate for mildly afflicted patients, but most patients are going to need to put up a greater defense. This defense may include herbs, vitamins, impeccable diet, exercise and reduced stress.

Once a baseline of energy has been established, then one can slowly begin to build qi through the use of acupuncture chords on the Korean Hand model. These are relatively safe sets of points that can help rebuild the weakened structures. If you had been injured and hospitalized for several months, it would not behoove one to run around the block too soon, so the weaker one is, the shorter and more frequent should be the time used on the chords. Acupuncture philosophy suggests that if you build enough qi, all negative forces of disease will crumble. The problem in Lyme disease is that conventional points and herbs used to build qi usually contribute to an autoimmune response to the muscles. Using the chords to create extra qi in the extraordinary meridians or the immune booster points is a safe way to build up the reservoir of qi in the body. The chords can also be used to further support endocrine glands that show weakness through muscle testing or through blood tests. Many clients feel that once their pain is gone and their energy has returned that they are entitled to stop all treatment. Unfortunately, their immune system is not back to normal. My experience has shown that anytime a Lyme patient stops herbs or swipes or antibiotics for more than a few days, the batteries of the immune system start to wear down, and that is reflected in a weaker pulse, weaker body muscles, and weaker tests of vials to the immune system. Strategies for more difficult Lyme are first to increase frequency of carwash and swipes. Make sure the carwash is meticulous. Have someone test you for the correct amount of herbs. Second, make sure all extraneous pathogens are being addressed. Third, build qi by doing chords of the Extraordinary Meridians. Fourth, address endocrine glands that might still be weak with chords or with glandular substances. The tide of this disease is constantly trying to wash away the sand castles we are building. An adequate defense requires a considerable amount of action.

THE CORDS

Chords are yoga for the immune system. A mini hand system of acupuncture is used to create daily self treatment. Holding points creates a lasting charge that enables the points to build immunity.

Put vial of Borrelias (US mix) on the mid-line of the body, in a pocket, or watchband. Some people put them in an ankle sock. This encourages the immune system to focus on this disease. The chords are just about the Borrelia spirochetes.

Hold each set of points lightly for six to ten minutes to stimulate and create qi from those points. Imagine your fingers creating an electrical conduct to these tiny circuits in the body. Do all chords on the chart listed for that day.

Rotate through the chords like you are watering different sets of plants. Like drip irrigation of plants, it takes a while to reach a level of connection. The longer you hold, the more qi you create. You can listen to a book, or movie, while holding.

Many people found holding the points to be tedious, so I encourage most people to place stainless steel pellets or BBs on the points. These can be purchased through an acupuncture supply source (LlasaOMS.com - accu-patch pellets). Place pellets on all points listed for one day in the pictures. Leave the pellets on overnight or at least for several hours. Remove the pellets in the morning. Silver (or stainless steel) pellets tonify while gold sedate, contrary to what is taught in school, so be careful not to use gold pellets.

Building immunity is like building a set of muscles, it will not happen overnight. For most of the world, gradually acquiring sufficient B cell immunity is the only defense to the bugs that endemically plague them. This treatment simply enhances that process.

For those of you who are truly symptomless and just want to build your immunity, its OK to do a set of chords every other day. Most people should treat daily. If you are seriously ill, consider treating 2 times per day.

Those who are deeply sensitive may have to start by treating one set of chords at a time for five minutes, to avoid exhaustion. Be sure to keep building.

If you want to build qi rapidly, use a laser from LLasa/OMS (LP-5F1) and shine it into the umbilicus while holding the chords (straight beam). The chords will then tonify in one minute instead of six.

The chords, like acupuncture, create a strong sense of relaxation and well being. Energetically, and perhaps materially, they strengthen all areas of the spinal tracts and immune system. They encourage the body to go after the disease with its own defenses.

The stronger the illness, the more sandbags you have to throw against it.

THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

It always seemed probable that there would be exact correspondences between acupuncture points and endocrine organs, the question was how to ascertain the relationships. A rough map for evaluating endocrine imbalance was evolved by the chiropractors, just testing over the areas such as the pancreas or the thyroid. The test goes like this: the patient extends an arm, the practitioner touches the endocrine area, and pulls down on the arm. If the arm goes weak and loses resistance, then most likely the endocrine organ is deficient. Giving that particular glandular substance would usually make the arm become strong.

Chiropractors such as Dick Versandahl D.C. pioneered a whole series of reflex points more than 40 years ago. A whole system of nutritional treatment was based on this type of diagnosis. Yet often times glandular substances would have to be given for years because the organs themselves were not treated. The right acupuncture points might be able to strengthen those reflex areas as strongly as the glandulars.

Here is an example. The adrenal glands are frequently stressed and exhausted. Copious amounts of DHEA or adrenal glandular are given to supplant the diminished output of these hormones. The chiropractic adrenal test area is around K 18. A strong arm muscle would become weak touching that area, if the adrenals are weak. One checks along the Kidney channel to look for points that will strengthen that reflex. Stainless steel pellets on two different Kidney channel locations strengthen that reflex area. One is above the knee on under the distal head of the femur, the other is below the knee, under the proximal head of the tibia. (The area on the knee crease produces no result.)

The upper leg point relates to the adrenal cortex, and the lower point to the adrenal medulla. Homeopathic vials of those area must be used to ‘prove’ the case. The adrenal cortex vial only shows a correspondence to the upper point, while the adrenal medulla vial creates a strengthening response to the lower point. The patient holds each of the adrenal vials while the tester touches the Kidney points and tests a strong arm. The arm will only stay strong when touching the ‘correct’ point.

Vials are extensively used by chiropractors as a sort of energetic digital picture of various anatomical areas and substances. They consist of salt water imbued with an energetic vibration that represents either and organ or a hormone or even a bacteria. They seem to be a fairly reliable way to access areas or functions that cannot be perceive through Chinese medicine alone. Chiropractors have been using them for years to evaluate deficiencies and then confirming those deficiencies with blood tests. Blood tests showing the results of needling these endocrine points would be the ideal way to confirm these point locations, but that is beyond my means. While this makes the entire project speculative from a scientific standpoint, it still remains interesting.

What was really interesting was the difference between what the arm and leg points treated. The Kidney and Heart channels, for example, are considered both branches of the same river channel known as the Xiaoyin. The arm points of this extended channel would treat the hormones, while the leg points would treat the gland itself. Pellets were placed on the arm at Heart 3 above and below the joint. The vials relating to the adrenal hormones cleared, such as DHEA, cortisone and norepinephrine, but not the glands themselves. StrengthenIng the leg points would enhance glandular function, so both sets of vials cleared: the hormones and the adrenal glands. This case illustrates the difference between root and branch.

The endocrine system could not be full decoded until some of the channels were rerouted. The Liver channel follows the interior channel of leg all the way up through the thigh, chasing along the bone like a river in a canyon. It does not move medial to the Spleen at the Knee, nor does it move to the middle of the thigh above the knee. How can this be proved? Place a pellet on the liver point on the leg channel and then on it’s corresponding point on the Korean hand model. If both points are correctly placed it will create a strong field that can be tested with an O-ring. (Place thumb and middle finger together and try to pull it apart.) If you place a pellet on the leg on the accepted location of liver 7 and then put a pellet on it Korean point, you will not get a strong O-ring connection.

Because it is the Jueyin partner to the Liver, the Pericardium channel also follows along the radius and humerus medial to the Lung channel. Around the shoulder the Pericardium river follows the clavicle, but on the hand it follows the conventional pathway. The old Liver and Pericardium channels will get a slight amount of strength in an O-ring comparison, as they seem to be a reflection of the true channel, but the real channels will give a much stronger response.

Lyme ProtocolThe Kidney channel as it courses through the foot originates underneath the Spleen and Liver channels, and follows the same curves of the bones. K1 is found right underneath Liver 1; K2 is found media to the Essentials’ K1, under the distal head of the first metatarsal. K3 is under the proximal head, and can be accessed from SP 4. K 4 feels like the source, and is found under the cuniform, accessible from the Essentials’ K2. The correct points for the endocrine glands could not be correctly confirmed until these new points were figured out.

These points remain tentative as it is often difficult to discern whether a point is being affected by a brainstem area on the Kidney channel, or a feedback mechanism, or whether it is the actual endocrine gland itself. Regard this as a first explorer’s map of a region. Some areas for neurotransmitters and enzymes are included for their general interest.

Adrenals:

Cortex: above K 10 knee crease/HT3. It consists of three zones: Zona Glomerosa: approximately 2 inches above K 10. Hormone: Aldosterone – two inches above heart 3. Aldosterone affects Angiotenstion I, II and Renin. Zona fasciculata: approx. 1 inch above knee joint. Hormones: Cortisol, ACTH, DHEA – Ht 3.

Zona Reticularis: sex hormones (adrenal androgen, progesterone and estrogen): I/2 inch above knee joint.

Medulla: 1 inch below distal to knee joint on Kidney meridian/1 inch distal to H 3. (UB 23 innervates parasympathetic activity, while GB25 treats Sympathetic activity to both the medulla and cortex.) Hormones: norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Cholecystikinine: Half way up thigh on LV channel.

Dopamine: under proximal head of femur on K channel, and under head of humerus on Heart channel. There is also a relationship to a point 5 cun (three inches) below knee joint on K meridian. Gastrin, Intrinsic factor: LV 6 Upper – 4 fingers width below the curve of the femur, close to the bone.

Histamine: There are two type of histamine, one that produces sinus mucous and an other that produces stomach acid in reaction to food allergens. The sinus histamine is treated through the points LV 2-4, while the gut secretions are mediated through the combination of LV 5, LV 6, & LV 9, used together.

Hypothalamus: K3/HT 8 Lacrimal Glands: LV 11 a/PC 2, under the head of femur. Lymph Glands: SP 10 and above SP10/LU 5 above elbow.

Ovaries and testes: LV 8 thru 10. Hormones: testosterone (approx. 3 cun above LV 9), estrogens, progesterones /above PC 3.

Pancreas: SP 3A/LU 10. UB 20,21. ST 19-20 Hormones: Insulin: SP3a/LU10, Glucagon: SP5/LU 9, Somatostatin: SP 3/LU10. Insulin receptors: SP 7. Isles of Langehorn: SP 4. Exocrine function: lipase - SP 5. Innervation: GB 24, LV 13, SI 8, SJ 9.

Parotid gland: New K 4. Salivary: New K5 (Essentials’ K 6) Sublingual: New K 6 (Essentials’ K 5)

Parathyroid glands: LV 4/PC 7 Parathyroid hormone: Osteocalcin. Controls the utilization of Vitamin D and Calcium. The Marshal protocol claims that vitamin D creates toxins in Lyme patient; I find that if the parathyroid is cleared and functional, then Vitamin D no longer tests negatively. Again you will find parathyroid influenced both by LV 4 on the foot and especially where the liver meridian flares around the tibia to join the ankle bone. Many clients will need supplements of parathyroid hormone along with calcium to strengthen bones and teeth and prevent cramping.

Pineal: K 1 (new)/Ht 2. Hormone: Melatonin. Helps with sleep.

Pituitary:

Anterior: LV 2/PC9. Hormones: Growth Hormone, Prolactin: LV 2/PC9, Prolactin

Releasing Hormone: SI 1. TSH, ACTH, FSH. Luteinizing hormone.

Posterior: LV 3a/PC 8. LV 3 is found on the tarsal metatarsal joint. There is also some connection with Lv 7, possibly through a feedback mechanism with the sex hormones. (LV 7 is found on the medial side of SP 9, on the curve of the bone, not where we were taught in school.) Hormones: ADH, Vasopressin, (controls frequency of urination) Oxytocin. Intermediate: LV 3/PC 8.

Sebacious glands: LV 11/PC2 distal to lacrimal gland location.

Secretin: 2-3 cun above SP10.

Sex glands: ovaries and testes: LV 9 and above. ST 28-29. Innervation: GB 28-30/UB53-54. Hormones: estrogen: SP 9, testosterone and progesterone: above PC 3.

Seratonin: turned on with gastric hormones

Skin (as an organ): LV10/PC3 ( halfway up thighbone). Innervation: SJ 13, SI 9. Dermis: LV 3/PC 8. Epidermis: Lu 7/SP 6. Stratum: K3/HT 9. Subcutaneous: K8/ HT 5.

Sweat Glands: LV12/PC 1. UB50/GB31.

Thalamus: K2 (new)/HT 9

Thymus: Lower thymus: SP 7/LU 6 a. Upper thymus: SP 8/LU 6.

Thyroid: New K7/HT 7. Also above and below both. (I am always using K 7 as the Essentials’ K 3, right below their K7.) Hormones: Thyroxin: H7 in palm, TSH: HT 7, T 3: Ht 4. T 3: right above K 7-HT 5. In practice one treats the root so: T-3 is treated more above K7, thyroxin at K 7, and TSH is closer to K 6.

Vomeronasal Gland: This is the original smell gland, which allows animals to distinguish between family and foe. In humans it is vestigial, but I believe that in Lyme its weakness contributes to the difficulty of the immune system in distinguishing between normal and toxic fumes. LV 1

HERBAL TERATMENT

The herbal approach to lyme is nowhere close to where it needs to be. Offered here is an herbal strategy being tested on my 50 or so Lyme clients. Since every antibiotic known to treat Lyme disease spirochetes develops resistance rather quickly, and there is no proven case of a cure, then a containment approach to spirochetes is a logical alternative. For those who have completed a course of antibiotics, or for those who never intend to take that route, herbs can make a huge difference.

The two main herbal approaches to Lyme treatment that are widely followed are Stephen Buhner’s approach in Healing Lyme, and Matthew Wood’s allegations about the efficacy of teasel.(1) Stephan Buhner’s book was so impressive that I abandoned my Chinese herbal background and just used his approach for a couple of years. It worked splendidly for a while and then people started developing resistance. Nonetheless, if someone comes in with an acute case, such as a swollen knee or disc, then it’s usually my first line of choice. He mostly uses a combination of Cat’s claw, Polygonum Cuspida, Huperzyme and Andrographis for the spirochetes. This combination of herbs worked well for up to a couple of years on most of my patients who could stomach them.(2)

Buhner suggested that patients work up to a high dosage of these herbs for up to eight months and then stop, figuring them to be in remission. Whenever I took people off these herbs for more than a couple of days, pulses and reflex areas would become weak again. Since Lyme is always killing neurons, that was not acceptable, so I kept patients on a low dosage of the protocol until it ceased to work.

Once the Cat’s Claw stopped working, there was a large period of flailing around trying to find another way to control Lyme spirochetes. Much of the rest this protocol (swipes, chords) was thought up during this period. While all of these procedures were highly useful, one still needs an herbal backup to keep the spirochetes at bay. Ultimately, it looked like no-one else was going to come up with a formula, so I took matters into my own hands. The intent was to make a formula more based on bolstering up the defenses to the spirochetes, then a front on attack. To me it is crazy that one builds formulas on energetics of herbs without checking to see how they react on a particular disease. Chinese medicine is all about addressing the needs of a particular patient with specific herbs, but it is my belief that diseases have a signature vibration that can and must be addressed by a specific set of herbs. Muscle testing of herbs will measure the impact upon pulses and organs, so you get very clear readings about whether an herb will accomplish what it needs to do.

These formulas were tried and refined on my clients, with the result that there are now two different formulas that test very strongly on all my clients. One consists entirely of Chinese herbs, while the other is made only with Western herbs. None of the herbs in either formula has toxic effects, but no formula is deemed safe for pregnant or lactating women. Both have shown good results in clearing Lyme symptoms.

The Chinese formula is called Infight III and is available from Spring Wind Dispensary at springwinddispensary.com. It consists of Polygonum Cuspida, Perilla Leaf, Pueraria, Curcuma, Scutelaria, Salvia, Schizandra, White Peony, Lyceum Berries, Cinnamon Twig, Licorice and Ginger. I have several reports of people who are doing nothing but this formula, who claimed having all their symptoms relieved. Energetically, it supports the exterior and clears toxins, but only the first herb is known to have a direct affect on spirochetes. I kinda think it’s a great formula. Start slowly with one twice daily and work up to 3 twice daily for the average person. Any formula that addresses spirochetes effectively may cause a die off reaction when first taken. (Infight 5 uses Lonicera flower and Japanese Teasel root instead of the Polygonum multifor, which some people had found hard on their stomach. It is not quite as effective as the original formula, but it does offer an alternative for those resistant to the Infight III.) Consult a professional if you have difficulties.

The western herbal formula is called Lyme Nettles 5 and is available from Dragon River Herbals (drhs@valornet.com). I to 1 1/2 teaspoons twice daily is the average dose. The herbs employed are Nettles, Rosemary, Yerba Santa, Mullen, Eyebright, Yarrow, Boneset, Oat Flower, Dandelion Leaf and Japanese Teasel. (Native teasel could not be found by the distributer.) Use if you really cannot stomach the Chinese herbs or alternate with the Chinese formula every couple of months to delay resistance. In order for a formula to be considered effective in my book, it must strengthen pulses, vials relating to immunity, different parts of the nervous system and the brain on at least ten different people with Lyme. While clinical trials would be ideal, the first formula (Infight 3) has been tested on at least 30 people for several months and shows really strong potential to keep spirochetes at bay.

In the long run, it seems necessary to have a series of formulas that one can cycle through in order delay resistance to any one formula. A couple of people are beginning to show resistance to the Chinese formula after 1 1/2 years on variations of it. Those who are sickest seem to develop tolerance quickest. It seem probable that most people will be able to use it for several years though, since it does not directly attack the spirochetes. While there are endless amounts of herbal compendiums from all over the world to draw from, if need be, to create a series of formulas to rotate through, in practice it would be difficult to access sufficient quantities of those herbs to treat the general populace. A second Chinese formula (Infight 5), was developed to treat the resistant but clearly this process cannot go on indefinitely. Unfortunately, years after people have stopped using a particular antibiotic for the spirochetes, it will not test as a strengthening factor on either nerves or immunity. Nor has any patient yet shown that they can go back on Cat’s claw once resistance has been developed.

Probably another strategy needs to be employed to delay resistance. If you rely on just one regiment to fight your war, it doesn’t matter how good they are, without a wider front of support they are not likely to win. If patients have hidden infections of MS or rheumatoid bacteria and viruses, for example, then the inflammation created by these diseases will probably make the spirochete treatment less effective and more susceptible to creating resistance. Building the right parts of immunity with acupuncture or nutritional support of cellular membranes are examples of other strategies that are probably necessary in addition to herbs. Good diet is always a crucial factor. The Biotics Research crew has for their part, also developed a completely different strategy to impede replication of spirochetes.(3)

Long term Lyme is characterized by a slew of Lyme tick co-infections, as well as a seemingly endless number of opportunistic bacteria, viruses and fungi. The only co-infection addressed so far with an herbal formula is the retrovirus HERV-W that seems to cause autoimmune symptoms with Lyme. Most people seem to have it. (See article under testimonial section.) If your patient tests for HERV-W and it is not clearing with the carwash, then order the Retrovirus Stomp from Spring Wind herbal. Take approximately six (3X2) per day along with the Infight 3. The majority of people with long-term Lyme are probably going to need to do these two formulas indefinitely.

The question of co-infections does not pose a problem in my practice since the carwash seems to do such a great job of controlling or eliminating them. From a muscle testing point of view, the antibiotic or the herbal treatment of co-infections have not been sufficiently impressive, since the infections mostly seem to relapse after a time. Herbal formulas could and should be developed to treat each and every one of these infections for those who find the carwash unbelievable, but that is not the task at hand. Suffice to say that health cannot be restored to a body unless all these infections are addressed, and many of them will impede the ability of the patient to take the herbs. If a patient is having a hard time taking the herbs, then have them do carwash for a couple of weeks twice daily to reduce the fungal and bacterial infections latent in the gut. To summarize, the herbs mentioned here are crucial and effective for treating the spirochetes but not the co-infections excepting HERV-W. Herbal formulas should probably be used for three months at a time on a rotational basis to avoid creating resistance. Co-infections may have to treated before patients can stomach some of these herbal alternatives.

(3) Research has shown that lyme spirochetes depend on manganese for replication. This is a tentative program to inhibit the uptake of manganese. Use Iodizyme (1 daily), Ultra-Seleno M Plus (2 daily), Zinc forte (2 daily) Organic 15 (2 daily), NAC (2 daily), all from Biotic’s Research. Long term zinc usage needs to be balanced with copper to avoid copper anemia. 1 CU-zyme every third day, taken at least two hours away from the zinc is sufficient. For those who are sensitive to herbs this is a good alternative. I rarely use this anymore because taking the herbal formula clears all the reflex points that shows that the body wants these supplements.

 

Note to Acupuncturists

The articles in this website have little relation to TCM. The chiropractors who did muscle testing got to me, and changed my perspective. NAET, JMT, and Gonzalez Reflex Technique gave me the idea of being able to clear pathogens with vials. JMT showed that you could get rid of damp heat or fire in the joints by treating the pathogens that cause arthritis. This was a radical new pathway for acupuncture. Only they used kindergarden points. For those of you who missed the party, the revelation was that if you held a vial of pathogen(s) that caused the arthritis and then did standard acupuncture points and tapped along the shu points, you would “clear” the pathogen from the tissues. You can prove a version of this for yourself by finding someone with arthritis, getting a vial of mycoplasma arthritis, and placing a silver pellet on Lung 10 on one hand for ten minutes while they hold the vial. Next, remove the vial and pellet and place a new pellet on the other Lung 10 for ten minutes. Compare pain levels and strength in the thumb joints between sides. Holding any vial of any relevant pathogen will always increase the strength of an acupuncture treatment.

If you hone in on the exact point that controls the area of infection, say the left upper jaw with ST 32, then the treatment will be that much more effective. Body maps are included at this site for those who would truly like to know what they are treating. Those who wear glasses can scrub the pots more diligently.

In order to make scrubbing the channels more universal, all points on the body were touch scanned as a sort of ‘spell check’ for the meridians. Only it was done on the mini system of the Korean hand model. That eliminated the need to know exactly which point treated which area. Self treatment without professional knowledge became possible.

Originally it was hoped that this clearing process alone would be sufficient cure, as in JMT, but the spirochetes didn’t stay cleared. The coinfections did. composite vials were created to deal with the growing numbers of species and subspecies of coinfections.The contents are all listed in the Lyme Kit page. These vials also contain pathogens that patients might be exposed to at some point. Thus they may serve to prevent as well as clear infection in immune compromised persons.

Some thought it vital that each pathogen be cleared separately, but most clients can clear dozens of pathogens at once without a problem. Those with very sensitive nervous systems may have to modify the procedure. These bodies may need to focus on only one set of pathogens at a time. The problem with the traditional acupuncture treatment for Lyme is that it barely keeps the pulses strong for a day or two, as measured by chiropractic field testing of the pulse energy. The spirochetes themselves are the equivalent of a hurricane assaulting the immune system, and just supporting the guys on the bleachers doesn’t cut it. Nor does direct attack with either herbs or antibiotics, as the spirochetes just roll into cyst form and wait in the dermal layers for the attack to subside.

Ultimately, the body’s own immune response to the spirochetes is going to have to be adequately trained. Using conventional immune stimulants like ST 36, LI 11 and maitake, astragalus and ginseng, just provoke the inflammatory branch of the immune system and make the patient feel worse. The Immune Booster chart lists points that when stressed, weaken the spine on Lyme infected clients. When treated, they seem to create the correct type of immune response. It’s only a tentative first step towards unraveling the attack plan.

Chinese medicine is predicated on the idea that altering the terrain will discourage the pathogens. Western medicine is more about that the pathogen creates the terrain. This protocol reflects an obsession with the second option, because the nature of this war demands it. Lyme disease is not just a minor imbalance of forces, but acts as if it were specially designed to decimate the human immune system.

One can and should add constitutional or acute treatment to these basic strategies. What one should never imagine though, is that conventional formulas and treatment are going to be adequate to keep the infection from going deeper. Formulas used here, whether homeopathic, herbal or of acupuncture, had to strengthen vials relating to T killer cells, mitochondria, spinal nerves, brain areas and joints on almost every client with the disease. If you remove any herb or flower from the remedies, they will not test as well.

No-one should imagine that this is a cure or definitive treatment for Lyme disease. It is attempt to create a series of energy bolstering tactics. The first tactic is to hold vials to create immune recognition. The second is to tone points with homepathics instead of needles, and self-administer them through generalized swipes through a number of points. The third is to recognize correlations between acupuncture points and western anatomical areas and functions and then put them to use. The fourth is to judge the value of a potential treatment by its energetic effect on pulses, body reflex area and vials before it is given. Chiropractors have been pioneering work with vials and muscle testing for forty years now. This epidemic seems to require the deeper insight those tools provide.

Leg meridians

ARM MERIDIANS

The pericardium channel can be accessed through the old points, but it’s true path seems to follow along the bone, like its jueyin partner, the liver. It’s less painful to treat it nearer the bone. It strengthens the middle of the channel better as well as it’s Korean hand counterpart. It’s like a helicopter looking at a river running alongside a canyon, it can be viewed and accessed from different angles. PC 1 is found medial to ST 13 under the clavicle.

The ting points on the Lung, Pericardium and Heart are better found on the palmar side of the hand, but are less painfully accessible through the point locations we learned in school. Ht 7 & Lu 9 are also on the palm, but better needled from the wrist. The points traditionally found on the elbow joints are much stronger if placed under the head of the bones.

Arm bones: LU 1-11. On the arms, it seems that Lung treats the periosteum, while Heart treats the bone itself. LU 1-2/HT 1-2 treats the scapula and head of humerus, Lu 3-4/HT 4 treats the humerus, LU5-9/HT4-8 treats the radius, LU 11/HT9 treats distal digits. The point location for Lung 2 may actually be found in the bicepital groove, since qi seems to manifest most strongly under the heads of the bones. Lung 1 would then be the entire pool found under the acromium.

Hands
Hand bones (carpals): LU 7/ HT 7. Thumb joint and proximal digit joints: LU 10/HT 8. Distal digit joints: LU 11/HT 9.

Hip
UB 53-54 treats the hip bone. SP 12-16 treats the periosteum of the hip and acetabulum. GB 29-30 treats the head of the femur. SP 10-SP 11 treats the periosteum of the head of the femur. SJ 1-5 treats the joint capsule.

Leg and feet bones:
On the legs, it seems that Spleen treats the periosteum, while Kidney treats the bone itself. Toes: SP 1-5, K 1-6, Tibia: SP 6-9, K6-10. Fibula: GB 33-39. Femur: SP 10-11, K1-11.

Spine

Sacrum and coccyx: UB 31-35. UB 54-55. Add a huato line for the matrix. articulating surface with hip: SJ 1-3

Spinal column: UB line at level of points. Body or matrix of bone of spine, discs: Huatos. Facets: SJ at level of arm if hanging by side. Lumbar facets= SJ 4-5.

Spinous Process: ST 12-30. Sacral spinous processes: ST 30-31. Cervical: ST 9-10.

Transverse processes: The transverse processes are treated by the outer UB line, at the level you find them. For example, UB 52 treats the transverse process of the 2nd and 3rd Lumbars (UB 22-23). Articulating processes: UB 39-54 (base of butt) with the Kidney Channel all along inner thigh at the top of the femur where there is tenderness. There are no official acupuncture points along there, but if a vertebrae is infected you will find a weakness and often tenderness.

Thoracic ribs: SJ 5-13.

Head Bones

Lyme can be found energetically in all head bones, probably spreading from the sinuses, jaws, and teeth. The Sphenoid and the Nasal bone are mostly cartilage, and therefore easily permeated by the Lyme spirochete.

Frontal bones: ST 25-12. If these bones are not adequately treated, then the points that rest on top of these areas (ST 1-7), will not stay strong.(ST1-12 control cranial nerves.)

ST 41-44 with SP 1-5 jaw under upper back teeth and frontal sinuses
ST 36-40 (and down the leg): jaw under upper front teeth & molars
ST 35-30: maxilla or upper jaw bone
ST 30-25: the eye socket and ridge
ST 25-13: frontal bone or forehead

Hyoid bone: Lu 2

Jaw bone (Maxilla): ST 41-ST 36. The front teeth area is treated by ST 36, back teeth area by ST 41-44. If infection moves further up the jaw towards the eyes the points are ST 35-31.

Jaw (mandible): LI 1-20.

LI 1-4: under lower front teeth, condyle: LI 14. Mastoid process: LI 15, 16.

Nasal bone: LI 1-5 Vomer: SI 8 and area above it on humerus. Ethmoid: K 1-5

Occiput: UB 67-40.

Palantine bones: palate: SI 1-7 vertical: SI 8-10

Parietal bone: GB 24-41

GB 44-34 affects the occipital juncture with the Parietal Bone.

GB 33-26 affects juncture with temporal bone.

GB 26-16 affects juncture with frontal bone.

GB 16-1 affects the center line of the Parietal (GB 1 towards the back juncture with the occiput.)

Sphenoid bone: SJ 1-23

Outer wing of sphenoid: SJ 13-16 (16 at top of bone). Inner wings of the Sphenoid bone: SJ 17-23. The Pituitary gland is housed by the Sphenoid bone, so it is crucial to clear both yin and yang aspects of these areas. SJ 4 seems to treat the area surrounding the pituitary gland.

Temperal: LI 6-20. Styloid process: LI 12. Mastoid process: LI 15.

Trachea: Lu 3-4

Zygomatic: SI 9-19.

The nervous system helps turns the immune system back on.

Brain

There is a basic map to all the madness.

  • The Yin meridians on the feet treat the lobes of the brain while the Yin meridians on the hand treat the cortices.
  • Stomach Meridian treats the cranial nerves.
  • Gall bladder Meridian treats the Sympathetic ganglia to visceral effectors.
  • Bladder Meridian treats the sympathetic nervous system
  • San Jiao treats the sympathetic, and Small Intestine treats parasympathetic innervation to the glands of the head.

None of this will stay clear without clearing the sinuses and the bones of the skull.

Lobes:

Cerebellar Anterior: K 5. Cerebellar Posterior: K 4. Frontal: SP 1-5. Occipital lobe: K 1-5. Parietal: LV 9-14. Limbic Lobe: K 10-11 on thigh. Temporal: LV 1-5 (Color area: LV 4. Tool area: LV 3. Nouns: LV 1).

Cortices:

Endorhinal Cortex: between K 7 and 9. Frontal cortex: LU 9-11.

Mesiocephalon Cortex: K channel below condyle at top of femur. Temporal

Cortex: PC 7-9. Occipital Cortex: HT 7-9. Parietal Cortex: HT 1-3. Motor cortex: HT 2. Olfactory: HT 1. Orbital frontal: LU 8. Prefrontal Cortex: LU 8.

HT 2. Premotor Cortex: HT 3. Somatosensory: Ht 4. Visual: LU 6, HT 7

Brainstem:

K1 treats top of the brainstem. K 1 has a new location. (See Revision of Confluent points article for proof.) it is found under the first digit of the foot, directly beneath LV 1. Medulla: K 3 /UB60. Pons, Deencephalon: K 2 Telencephalon: K1

Misc. Brain Areas:

The brain is very difficult to map, since it thrives on connections and networking. The following are mere notes on points that seem to influence certain vials related to different areas.

Broca’s Area: HT 5
Caudate nucleus: HT 2
Center vasomotor: K 10 3 inches above joint
Central canal: LV 4-5
Cerebellum: HT 5-7, K 4 (posterior), K5 (anterior) -cortices and lobes
Cerebral peduncle: superior-Lu 11. inferior: Lu-9, middle-Lu 10
Cerebrum: LU 9-11
Cingulate: LV 10
Corpus callosum: PC 1-3
Endorhinal cortex (location/mapping area of brain): PC 5
Falx cerebri: CV channel huatos at base of palm in KHT
Fusiform gyrus: half way between K9 and 10.
Hippocampus: K 3, new location
Hypothalamus: K 4 new location

elbow joint on PC, distal to PC 2.

4th Ventricle: K 9
Lateral ventricle: 3 inches below knee crease on K channel.
Wernike’s: PC 1, new location under collarbone, medial to ST 13.

The brain has considerable plasticity. A person with a stroke to the parietlal lobe can end up using the temporal lobe to take over lost functions. Deaf and blind people also use other parts of the cortex to enhance their senses. Therefore, none of these point locations are fixed.

UB1-10 forms the spine of the brain, clears the area underneath. These are the railroad tracks into the brain.

The brain is the hardest area to keep clear. The Lyme spirochetes love neurons, and once they get in there, they have a lot to feast on. The softer bones of the skull; the sphenoid, the palate, the sinus and nasal bones make it easier for the spirochetes to dig into and re-infect the brain.

Nerves

Cranial nerves: ST 1-12.

I – Olfactory: ST 8 this is actually the first point on the ST meridian.

II - Optic: ST 1

III - Oculomotor: ST 2

IV - Trochlear: ST 3

V - Trigeminal: ST 4

VI - Abducens: ST 5

VII - Facial: ST6

VIII - Vestiulaocochlear: ST7.

IX, X- Glossopharyngeal, Vagus: ST 9 & 10.

XI - Accessory: ST 11.

XII - Hypoglosssal: ST 12.

Components of nervous system

Sympathetic Nervous System: UB Channel

Sympathetic chain ganglia to organs: GB channel. Cardiac ganglia: GB 22, 23. Mesenteric ganglia: GB 26-29. Ganglia to spleen, pancreas and kidney: GB 24, 25.

Parasympathetic Nervous system, Chain ganglia: channel halfway between Ren and Kidney on body, extending from palmar side of middle finger edges to base of hand in KHT.

Peripheral and spinal nerves: LV & PC channels. PC treats peripheral nerves above neck.

Collateral ganglion: SJ channel on body of hand in Korean hand, or points above neck on body.

Postganglionic fibers: Internal Heart channel on hand (see Korean Hand Chart).

Ventral nerves: CV channel. Ventral Root ganglia: Internal Lung channel found on Korean Hand model.

Dorsal nerve: GV channel. Dorsal root ganglia: Outer UB channel.

Myelin sheath: control points: LV 5/ PC 4, ST 12. The whole myelin sheath of the spinal cord can be treated by a Huato type channel found alongside Ren channel on Korean Hand model.

THE EXTRA MERIDIANS

(see article on advanced site)

Crucial for treatment of nervous and immune systems

K 3 (new location), LU 7 strengthens the vial related to the Corticospinal tracts.

GB 41, SJ 5 treats the Rubrospinal tracts.

SI 4, UB 60 treats the Spinothalamic tracts.

SP 4, PC 6 treats the Spinocerebellar tracts.

ST 41/ LI 4 treats the Fasciculus Cuneatus and Fascululus Gracilis.

HT 6/ LV 3 treats the Reticulospinal tract.

Miscellaneous Points

None of these points are written in stone.

Appendix: LI 1-2 right side. Ascending colon: right LI Descending colon: left LI Sigmoid: left LI 5 Anus: left Li 1.

Arteries

LU 9/SP 5-master points for both arteries and veins (LU 9 for upper body and SP 5 for lower body). Coronary: PC 2- 3. Arms: Lu meridian. Legs: Spleen on leg. Pretty much the closest point controls the area. The huato area of the ren channel found on the Korean hand model controls the aorta on the torso, and that same channel extending to the tip of the mid finger gets the arteries of the head. Veins Torso: Ki channel on torso. Arms: Ht Legs: Ki. The vascular endothelial ling of the arteries is treated by the liver and PC meridians.

Bladder

K 4 new. UB 63-65 treats outer layer. Ureter: UB 59-57 Urethra: K 1-3

Cilia

K1 & HT 9 It seems that the cilia points help clear sinus and ear cilia, and possibly those throughout the body such as in the kidneys or intestines.

Diaphragm

HT 6 new (old HT 5)

Ears

Outer: SJ 2, 3, 4 same side. Inner: KI 2-4 new. Inner hair follicles: LV 9-10. Organ of Corti: HT 2. Eustachian tubes: K 3-7. Semicircular canals: LV 9

Esophagus

HT 2. Mouth: HT 5, Base of Tongue: Ht 6. uvula: HT 8

Eyes

Optic nerve: old ST 1 , (new ST 2). iris: SP 4 retina: LV 5 vitreous humor: LU 6.

Heart

Bicuspid valve: HT 3 L. Tricuspid valve: HT 3 R. SA node: LV 8. Atrium: GB
33. Heart muscle: HT 1-9. HT 9 is the tip of the heart, HT 1 the top.)
Pulmonary valve: UB 60. Pulmonary trunk: LU 1-2.

Ileocecal valve: K -9.

Kidney

KI 16-19, UB23. The kidney and the bladder are one of the prime areas or recurrence since this is how the spirochetes passes itself through the ecosystem.

Knees

ST 34, 35, 36, SP 9, SP 10, GB 32, GB 33, GB 34.

Marrow

GB 39, SJ 6. Anatomically, the same area on the hand as the traditional leg
marrow area is SJ 6; it also tests to clear and strengthen marrow.

Reproductive Organs

There is much controversy about whether Lyme is transferred through seminal fluids. All active partners that I have seen test to be infected in the sexual areas, as shown by referral areas and vials. The Lyme spirochete is also transmitted in utero. Bartonella, Babesia, Erlichea, and Mycoplasmas also seem to be passed between partners. Vials that are specific to the ovaries and uterus, etc. show to weaken after unprotected sex with a partner. I have seen two cases where protection was used, and yet it seems to have passed by infection of spirochetes in the mouth.

Ovaries/Testes: LV 4- LV 12, KI 3- KI 14
Uterus/prostate: SP5- SP7, SP12-14 Huatos or area next to the spine of L4 and L5, UB 32.
Penis/Clitoris: LV 1-3
Seminal Vesicles: K 10 a
Vaginal area: SP 9-10
Endometrium: SP 1-3.
The uterus is an inverted organ so the order on the meridian is reversed as well. While for the penis and clitoris, the distal points on the feet treat the surface expression of the organs, the vaginal area is teated at the knee. The uterus is SP 6.
Fallopian Tubes and Fimbrae (vas deferens): KI 1-10. (K10 is near the ovary.)

Entrenched disease will move up or down these channels. Best to check every point on the KI, LV, and SP meridians up to the knee. Points around pubis and sacrum also must be cleared. Try using Korean hand acupuncture points that correspond to those points and areas.

Shoulders:

Many inflamed rotator cuffs originating with an inflamed disc in the neck, shorting out muscles and nerves to the arms and hands. If the problem is bilateral, it is almost always due to neck problems. The 5th through the 7th cervical vertebrae control the nerves to the arms and hands. Treat by clearing and strengthening those rows on the Spine Chart. The cartilage in the cuff itself can also get infested with spirochetes. LU 1-2 treat the cuff.

Sinus:

Frontal: ST44-41 is the sinus proper, but SP1-4 treats the frontal mucosa. LI1-5 treats the nose and Lu 11 -7 the nasal mucosa.
Maxillary: SP 9-10.
Ethmoid: UB 60-57. K 1-4 for mucosa.
Sphenoid: GB 44-41. Liv 1-3 mucosa.

Teeth

KI points on sternum (K 21-27). KI 27 representing the incisors, and KI 21 being the 3rd molars. All teeth points treat opposite side of mouth. There are points to the outside of ST 13 that treat the eye teeth. Easiest to treat on Korean hand model along the outer edge of palm.

Tonsils

Palantine: Lung 5. Pharyngeal: Base of second toe or HT 3. Lingual: Lung 1.

Korean Hand Revision

Korean Hand Revision

Korean Hand Revision

This article is about the discrepancies found on the Korean Hand map, but there were plenty found on the conventional body acupuncture charts as well.

A simple comparison of Korean points to body points can be used to show where errors have occurred on either Korean or regular acupuncture charts. If a stainless steel 1.2 mm pellet is placed on say, SP 6, on both the Korean hand location and the actual body point on the same side, it will create a strong energetic field. This field can be checked with an O-ring test, or any other type of muscle test. The thumb and the for-finger of the person wearing the pellets are held together, and the testing person tries to pulls those fingers apart. It should be hard to do so. If just one of those pellets on either hand or body is then moved to SP 7 and the O-ring is tested again, the finger will pull apart much more easily. The congruency between the hand and the body points can then be used to establish better maps.

While muscle testing various Korean hand areas and comparing them to body points, various discrepancies came up. Most charts showed that Liver and Spleen meridians would extend directly from the finger tips all the down into the palm of the hand. Liver 13 and Spleen 13 & 14 are shown on a direct line leading from Liver 12 and Spleen 12 from the base of the finger. This is incorrect. Once the meridians reach the base of the finger, the true sequence will have the meridians jump down to the base of hand. Since the pelvis and sacrum are known placed to be at the base of the hand, it only makes sense to have the points move from the base of the torso up towards the chest. Therefore Liver 12 & SP 12 are found at the base of the palm, and Liver 14 & SP 20 under the pad of the knuckle. (There is certainly a liver point in the basin of the pelvis, which I choose to believe is Liver 12b, supplemental to it’s location at the top of the femur, Liver 12 a.)

The major consistent errors on the Korean chart were two. First, all Korean meridians start or end at the tip of the fingers, at the level where the nail comes off of the finger. (Many maps start them at the root of the fingernail.) Second, the Korean map should extend down to the wrist bone, where the sacral bones are mostly found below or distal to the hand palm crease.

There were many surprises. The torso part of Kidney meridian did not run down the center of the palm, but along the side of the palm extending from the little finger Kidney meridian. Because the pelvis is the base of the hand, K 11 is found at the heal of the hand on the side, where K 27 is found just under the distal head of the 5th metacarpal. What was taught as the Kidney channel in Korean text is, in fact, a branch of the CV channel which affects the myelin sheath. If you extend that channel up the middle finger, though, you are back on an internal branch of the Kidney that seems to treat the falx cerebri of the brain. How does one know? Whichever vial relates to the area should strengthen by O-ring testing when treated. In addition, the Kidney pulse area, and no other pulse area, is affected when the head and neck area of the that channel is stimulated.

Next it became apparent that some of the yang meridian head areas were not found on the middle finger. The head regions of the LI, SJ, and SI meridians are really found on the palm or back of the hand. On most Korean Hand charts all the yang meridians run up and down the middle finger as the channels flow into the head, but if you do the O-ring congruency tests they do not pan out that way. Once the LI, SJ, & SI meridians hit the clavicle on the body, they move to the base of the hand on the Korean chart. SJ 15 is found at the base of the hand and SJ 23 is under the head of the knuckle on the line extending from outside of the fourth finger.

The meridians that ascend the middle finger are the Du, the Ren, the Bladder, the Gall Bladder and the Stomach. The Stomach channel runs along the middle side of the finger, the GB along the external edge, and the UB on a line drawn from down the side of the nail. On the palm side their is the aforementioned internal kidney channel running along the outer edge of the mid finger.

The Kidney and Spleen meridians on the body are not where TCM teaches them, so it will be difficult to get your congruencies with the Oring testing.1 The body Kidney meridian follows the Liver and Spleen, but on the bottom of the foot, under the first digit and metatarsal. SP 1, on the body, is better found at the root of nail, not at the tip. If the new locations are followed then comparing Korean points to regular body points will work.

The Bladder meridian was different from what was displayed in the Korean charts. The Shu points are strung along the back of the hand below the knuckles, not on the middle finger. It took a while to discard the idea that UB 11 wasn’t on the middle finger second joint, but that area corresponds to the top of the neck. The area between the first and second knuckle on the middle finger is the area of the head from the neck to the occipital protuberance, UB 10-UB 9. The area from the second knuckle to the first treat UB 9-6, the first knuckle to the tip of the finger treats UB 6-1. Because there are fewer lines on the back of the finger, the Bladder Meridian is a little further from the center than shown on most Korean charts. The closer line is the Huatos.

Another unexpected finding was that the Stomach meridian starts with ST 8. If you place a pellet at the side tip of the middle finger, where it comes off the edge of the fingernail, and then check which Stomach point on the body creates a strong O-ring test, you will find that it is Stomach 8. What could this mean? A strong correlation between the Stomach points and the cranial nerves seemed to be the reason. Each Stomach point above the neck corresponds to one of the cranial nerves in sequence, except that ST 1 on the body does not correspond to the first cranial nerve. (One uses vials of each cranial nerve and does the same sort of congruency testing.) The first cranial nerve is the olfactory nerve and shows a strong congruency test with the body point ST 8 or the Korean point ST 1. The top of the Korean hand meridian is the side of the head where one would find St 8 on an acupuncture chart. Logically, it wouldn’t make sense for the Korean hand meridian to go jutting up to the side of the head after point seven, so that is further support for this hypothesis. If the sequence of Stomach points is indeed related to the sequence of cranial nerves, then the first eight points should be renumbered on the body. The Stomach meridian is the only meridian found on the side of the middle finger.

The other doorway that opened was the possibility of exploring the internal pathways of the Yin meridians. The Heart, the Lung and Pericardium meridians all continue down to the base of the palm, although the traditional meridians end at the pads of the fingers. Stimulating each of the natural extensions of those meridians affects the respective pulse of that channel. Tentatively, it would seem that the internal channel of the Heart affects the lymph system, the internal channel of the Lung affects the aorta and ventral root ganglia, and the internal channel of the Pericardium affects the upper part of the peripheral nervous system as it runs into the brain and the corpus callosum.

The Korean hand model has become a favorite modality for treatment, because it allows so many new possibilities of treatment. Maps with points can be sent home with the patient so that they can treat themselves daily. Points can be accessed that cannot be easily treated on the body itself, such as groin or head areas. Pellets, magnets or laser can be used instead of needles. Internal, unmapped meridians that access areas of the body like the aorta can also be explored.

LYME KIT

Order a lyme kit from Allergies Lifestyles and Health (1-360-832-8588 or alh@rainierconnect.com). It should contain the following mixes (8 vials). If there are no prostate or vaginal symptoms, then the STD vial can be left out. This will not treat everything you may find in long term chronically ill Lyme clients, but it is a good start. If your body only contains 1 or 2 of the species found in each vial, it will ignore all the rest. Treat just borrelias the first day.

Lyme Remedies for Children

It is difficult to get children to take pills, so flower remedies that enhance immunity around Lyme spirochetes are a useful alternative. The remedies can be slipped in water or juice and do show to strengthen pulses and vials relating to immunity and nerves. It would be advisable to perform the carwash on them at least once a week, or teach it to them as a daily ritual like brushing their teeth. Without the carwash, the coinfections are not treated. When or if the first remedy stops working, as evaluated by a profession muscle tester, then try the second remedy for Resistant Lyme. If the child shows evidence of Herv-W infection, then add that remedy at least ten minutes apart from the first one.

There are also certain foods that strengthen pulse around lyme disease - redskinned peanuts being the primary one. If your kids are eating peanut butter than switch to valencia peanut butter. An article on foods that aid to inhibit lyme is included at the bottom. Many of my clients tried these foods for a while, but then tended to get sick of them. It is included mostly because it might inspire somebody else to look further along these lines.

FLOWER REMEDY FOR LYME DISEASE

1/2 dropperful per quart, or 2 droppersful per gallon of water, sipped many
times throughout the day, provides your best support. Leave on your table and put it into whatever you are drinking.

chaparral pink
monkey
flower
golden
yarrow
chesnut bud St. John’s wart cerrato
agrimony California
poppy
impatiens rabbitbush fairy lantern cayenne

Make a mother tincture by placing 3-4 drops of each flower essence in a 2 or 3 ounce dropper bottle of brandy or Everclear. Tap 50 times on bottom to activate. Use to start many other bottles by adding 3 drops of this mixture to an other 2-3 ounce dropper bottles of alcohol (and tapping).

The current remedy is my twenty second attempt at enhancing immunity around the Borrelia spirochetes. It is based on the idea of intercepting the manganese uptake mechanism of the spirochetes.

It consists entirely of English and North American flower remedies. You can buy them from F.E.S. P.O.Box 1769, Nevada city, Ca. 95959. This formula strengthens most weak vials related to lyme. The formula on average extends the auric field around the person to around five feet. The untreated lyme patient usually has only a couple of inches of field strength. Purists in the realms of homeopathy insist that single remedies tailored to individual clients are better, because group remedies cancel out the individual wave patterns. With this disease, it seems to require an ecosystem to undo the damage incurred. Hence the name. Earlier formulas included nosodes of the pathogens themselves, but I found they actually tested weaker.

Most of my clients are on herbs or antibiotics as well as the remedy, because I do not find that flowers alone are sufficient to strengthen all the weakness created by the lyme pathogens. However, for kids and a few other people who are unwilling or unable to do anything apart from this remedy, it recharges their field, and strengthens immune related muscles and vials. It has also proved to be fairly adequate at keeping them from slipping in terms of pulse readings. I make no scientific claims for its efficacy.

Lectins for Lyme

In the book Eat Right for your Type, Peter D’Adamo shows that certain foods inhibit certain bacteria. I looked for foods that would do this energetically for Lyme spirochetes and came up with the following: red spanish peanuts had the strongest strengthening effect on the nervous system. In order to make all the brain vials strong you needed to add quinoa, flax, green tea and some source of resveratol, such as organic Thompson raisins. The green tea cannot be decaffeinated. While I have no idea whether these food scientifically contain lectins that affect Lyme spirochetes, they do strengthen pulses of Lyme patients.

Muesli

1 cup spanish (valencia) red peanuts (its the skins that have the lectins), roasted or raw. Sprouted is best, because they do not seem to aggravate latent herpes viruses as much that way.

1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa. Soak 1 cup for at least 1/2 hour before cooking.
Cook in 1 1/2 cups water for 20 minutes. Keep in the refrigerator.
1 cup flax seed or flax seed meal.
1 cup of organic Thompson raisins.
1 cup (sprouted) pumpkin seeds

If you use red quinoa instead of the yellow, then you get a much stronger response, and don’t need to use the raisins, flax, and green tea. Quinoa has toxins that need to be soaked out, so I think it is better to soak overnight if one has the time.

I am guessing that you need to consume 1/4 to 1/2 cup of this mix two times a day in order to keep the nervous system strong. This does not preclude the use of other herbs or lyme treatments if one is at all symptomatic. These foods seem to treat the lyme spirochetes only.

The combination of peanuts and red quinoa brings the pulses and most brain vials on most lyme patients to an 8 or 9 out of a possible 10 (good). Most untreated Lyme patients have pulses of 0-2 (bad). The joints and cerebral spinal fluid remained weak on all tested. Pomegranate juice brought in the nerve vials, I am thinking, 2-4 ounces pure juice once a day. All are important, but don’t need to be eaten at the same time or meal. Pumpkin seeds strengthen the vials for the cyst and L- spheroblast forms of Lyme and also strengthened the joints. Cherry juice or dried cherries strengthened delta and theta waves (necessary for deep sleep).

1/3 cup of peanuts, 1/2 cup of quinoa, 3 Tbsps of pumpkin seeds, 6 dried cherries and 3 oz. of straight pomegranate juice daily, preferably divided into two doses, is an average dose for an adult. Use half that for children. Those who are sicker may need to consume more, those who have fewer symptoms may get away with less. If all someone is willing to do is eat peanuts, then it is still a heck of lot better than doing nothing. Cat’s claw does no better in raising pulses than just straight peanuts, so for some, doing peanuts and quinoa and whatever else appeals may slow the progression.

For people suffering from other diseases, none of these foods had any affect on the immune system, or any other target area. They seem to be specific for Lyme.

Abstain from the peanuts and the pumpkin seed part if you are getting herpes viruses such as cold sores. Cut back on the amount when you have gotten over the virus.

Babesia

On checking pictures of Africans afflicted with malaria, I found that placing a combination of lentils, ginger, turmeric and cayenne over their bodies would strengthen the blood and liver reflexes. No wonder the East Indians love curry! I thought this might be useful for Babesia microti, (one of the Lyme coinfections), and sure enough, it strengthens the blood energy of all those with untreated babesiosis. (Most of my clients seem to clear all the coinfections with the carwash alone, and therefore do not need to eat any of these coinfection foods.)

Peanut butter cookies

Grind separately in food processor or a strong blender:
1 lb. spanish peanuts, unsalted and sprouted
2 cups cooked red quinoa

Place in bowl with:
1 cup wheat or spelt flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Add and mix:
2/3 cup oil: safflower, corn or walnut
3/4 cup or less maple syrup or honey
1 tsp. vanilla.

Shape into walnut size balls and place on oiled baking sheet. Press down with a fork. Bake at 350 F. for 10- fifteen minutes. Only consume if not bothered by candida.

The original idea with the lectins was to treat asymptomatic children whose immune systems are still pretty intact and who aren’t likely to do anything else. Many of my clients loved the idea of getting away from pills. I only have a couple of clients who do this exclusively, and while it brings up the pulses considerably, it doesn’t strengthen all vials. Those who are in late stage Lyme need to bolster their defenses from as many aspects as possible. The problem is that these people are also very susceptible to Candida and shingles, and often allergic, so that neither plan can be executed without caution. People do tend to go overboard.

 

A New Virus found in Lyme Patients 5/24/10

A recent Discover magazine article presents excellent research linking schizophrenia to an internal retrovirus called HERV-W. Everyone has this virus in their DNA, but under certain circumstances it becomes activated, and causes disease. In schizophrenics it seems to be unmasked by an exposure to Toxoplasmosis, a parasite in cat litter, or else by an influenza virus. Because it was discovered while working on demented AIDS patents, it seemed possible that this virus could also be unmasked by Lyme disease. A homeopathic vial of the energy of the virus was ordered. It does indeed show up in most of my Lyme patients, in the myelin sheath of the nervous system and in the brains. The article says it is clearly indicated as a cause of MS as well as schizophrenia. The virus also seems to be operant in some cases of epilepsy.

The only patients that did not show energetic evidence of the virus were those recently infected or young children whose resistance was still fairly strong. Several of the patients with more difficult mental symptoms did show energetic evidence of Toxoplasmosis, though none showed evidence of schizophrenia. Clearing the virus with the carwash strengthened the myelin sheath in all patients, and considerably strengthened brain vials in many patients.

The Discover article mentioned that researchers were trying a course of the herb artemesian as a treatment for the toxoplasmosis. A Chinese herbal formula was created that incorporated artemesia qing hao for the brain inflammation in schizophrenia. A separate formula removed that herb to create a formula just for the virus itself. Western herbs were combined with Biotics Researches’ Ultravirex formula to create a similar treatment. Homeopathic formulas made from flower essences were also designed to treat the virus itself, the virus in MS, and the virus in schizophrenics.

My guess is that Lyme unmasks this virus in most people at a later stage of the disease, and that this is what causes the autoimmune condition of Lyme. Carwash does seems to clear this virus for several hours, but those who show symptoms will want to back it up with herbs or homeopathics.

Recipes. One can use any one of the following options, but you will have to muscle test for amounts needed on a daily basis.

Stephan Buhners book, Healing Lyme outlined a very good protocol for the herbal treatment of spirochetes. Unfortunately, all my clients developed tolerance to his cat’s claw protocol after 6 months to 1 1/2 years of treatment. Necessity has propelled a major search during the last couple of years to produce a substitute formula.

More than 20 different formulas were tested on my clients over the last two years. Happily, there are now two very good herbal formulas available that strengthen all vials relating to the nervous system. These are not clinical trials, but people really like these products. As a muscle tester, my criteria is to get as many vials as possible to show a strengthening around a formula or procedure. Both of these new formulas strengthen much all vials relating to immunity, joints and parts of the nervous system. At first, both Western and Chinese herbs were mixed in various formulas, but people wanted a formula that could be encapsulated. Once all the herbs in a formula were Chinese, it could be made into pill form. Infight III is the latest result and it does an excellent job of keeping symptoms such joint pain at bay. It is available from Spring Wind Dispensary (415-920-9990).(springwinddispensary.com). You would have to get your practitioner order it. Do not order any of the later manifestations (such as Infight IV) as they are experimental at this time. The dosage is normally 4 capsules twice a day and a bottle runs about $18 for 100 pills, or you can order it as a granulated tea. It’s a very good formula, but can be a little rough on the gut if one has a sensitive stomach. Maybe 15% complain of loose stools or reflux. Try taking it with digestive enzymes, and if that doesn’t work, try taking it with Tagamet or it’s generic. The Tagamet seems to reduce sensitivity. For people who don’t want to mess with the rest of the protocol, this formula alone gives pretty good results.

It seemed like a good idea to get one step ahead of the game, in case one developed tolerance to the Chinese formula, so I looked to create an all western herb formula. This new formula is a mixture of nettles, yerba santa, eyebright, rosemary, yarrow, dandelion leaf, boneset, mullein and teasel. My distributers couldn’t find a source of western teasel, so we went with a japanese version that seems to work fine. These herbs seem to be easier on the gut, and it tests almost as strongly as the Infight III. You can order it directly from Dragon River Herbal drhs@valornet.com as Lyme Nettle 5. They can also make you the Infight lII as a tincture, but it is more expensive than the pills. The Chinese formulas run about half the cost of the western herbs, all are much cheaper than antibiotics, (except doxycyclin) It is probably a good idea to switch between the formulas every couple of months to avoid developing tolerance. Neither formula addresses any of the co-infections, so the carwash is still crucial for that.

The other major new insight was about the parathyroid gland. While reading a 1927 book by one of the pioneers of the endocrine system (Harrower), I was struck by the authors remarks on the parathyroid. He used parathyroid glandular for spasms and cramping. He remarked that many of the syphilitics that he was seeing in that pre-antibiotic era, showed low parathyroid as well as low thyroid, adrenals and thymus. I started giving out parathyroid glandular to virtually every Lyme client and initially they mostly reported relaxation of leg muscles. Unfortunately, within a couple of weeks the cramping became worse as they went from deficient to excess parathyroid, so I realized the ratio of calcium to parathyroid needed to be more balanced. The correct ration for most clients is 2 of the Biotics’ CaMg+ (parathyroid), with 3-4 Biotic’s Research Osteo B II per day ( or 500 mg Ca. in a commercial calcium magnesium supplement). Many of my clients had normal blood calcium, but osteopenia and bad teeth, and it appears likely that low parathyroid is responsible for the drawing of calcium from the bones and teeth. Muscle testers will probably find this a universal for Lyme clients. Check carefully for correct ratio because excess parathyroid had some association with hypertension and cancer as well as bone loss. The parathyroid gland is also responsible for the conversion of sunlight into Vitamin D, so parathyroid deficiency may explain the common blood test result in lyme patients of a lack of Vitamin D. Once people start doing the endocrine swipe for a couple of months, their need for parathyroid decreases.

The second insight from this endocrinology book was the realization that most of my clients have many endocrine weakness that do not recover when the spirochetes have been successfully addressed. The endocrine glands are like firefighters that have spent years on overtime trying to put out a fire. Once the fire has been controlled, with the herbs and carwash, the function of the glands needs to be built up. Acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, or naturopathic glandular supplements will all increase endocrine function, but this website is all about dirt cheap and self treatment, so I developed another endocrine toner swipe. Only problem is that the website charges an arm an a leg for these flower essences. Sorry. The nerve toner turns on the supply lines to the endocrine system, and the endocrine toner rebuild basic organ energy and neurotransmitter supply. The current protocol is to do both the endocrine swipe and nerve toner swipe daily along with whichever herb formula you choose and the carwash.

A brief note on why Peggy Creelman D.O.M. has earned my consummate respect:

I was sent to Peggy Creelman by my Lyme Disease specialist after he had treated my Lyme Disease, aggressively, for four and a half months with every western antibiotic he knew of. I was taking a daily cocktail of 3-4 types of antibiotics. My Lyme symptoms remained and my intestines were showing severe stress from all of the antibiotics, even though I was taking handfuls of pro-biotics daily. With Peggy’s extensive knowledge of Chinese herbs and medicines she was able to diminish many of my symptoms immediately with a prescribed daily dose.

Peggy is also highly knowledgeable in many other forms of healing, E.G. kinesiology, homeopathy and Korean hand points. She has taken all of these healing disciplines and has created her own unique form of healing which REALLY WORKS! Once she put me on this system (which she calls the hand carwash), 90% of my remaining symptoms disappeared! She is still refining her treatment and has figured out a way of attacking the remaining spirochetes in my body that have incased themselves in cyst form making them invisible to my immune system. These newer treatments work VERY, VERY well. THIS is what I admire the most about Peggy. She doesn’t sit back on her heels, proclaiming she knows it all. She is constantly doing research and refining her curing approaches.

I trust her with my life. She took me from barely being able to function because of my long list of Lyme Disease symptoms to my having access to 40+ hours a week of intense aerobic activity (I am a bartender at a very busy prime steakhouse and a Flamenco dancer).

If there is any healer you can trust, its Peggy Creelman D.O.M.! She has not only tamed Lyme Disease but has also cured many other ailments I’ve been challenged by over the years.

Respectfully submitted,
Mary Woolston

I have been doing the immunity chords and car wash for at least 6 months and I have been having a significant decrease in periods of sweating and heat. I have had an increase in energy. I have begun to sleep better. Even though I interact with 250 elementary age school children every week I have not even had a cold, unusual for me. I do the car wash and 2 of the 6 immunity chords daily. I also have had an overall decrease in any joint pain. I am a complete advocate of this system of dealing with my Lyme's disease. I have not taken Cat's Claw or any other treatment for my Lyme's disease during this period.

Wendy

Car washing daily a few minutes is enough to keep my Lyme Disease at bay; a life saver for me. Far too many years of not knowing what my odd collection of symptoms might be abut nearly finished me. The slightest mental or physical activity was exhausting.

Now through Peggy Creelman’s innovative approach to Lyme Disease she has given me a focus and some strategies for countering its chameleon-like quality: the car wash basic among them.

My mental acuity improves. I have more physical energy and the ability to live life and to work.

Andre Neumeister, Rolfer

Since seeing Peggy, I have been able to sweep the floor every 9 days, drive 1-3 times a week within a 5-20 mile radius, and I am actually using my power scooter 95% less to get from my bed to the kitchen and back. Today for the first time since living in Santa Fe (where have I been?) I was actually able to drive myself all the way to the farmers market, walk around for about 10 minutes, and pick up a few fresh veggies. This is what I call getting my life back, and it feels phenomenal after living in bed for so long. This is something I hadn't been able to do since 2006. It was something I desperately wanted to do, but literally couldn't due to extreme exhaustion, dizziness, lethary, and all the other horrible symptoms that go along with Lyme Disease. Huge progress. Consider that before seeing her, I felt like no one would ever really be able to help me. I had seen so many western and alternative practitioners, I sort of gave up on the whole deal. (undiagnosed and misdiagnosed from lyme for most of my life) Having tried almost everything under the sun. Until a friend came along and said, 'You really should see a DOM.' He seemed to have a lot more faith in the practice than I did, since I had been thru the ringer before trying to get better. I thought about it for a few weeks, and asked my cousins husband, also a DOM in CO, if he knew of a good person to help me in Santa Fe. He gave me Peggys number.

Before seeing Peggy, I was only driving an average of once every couple of months. I was only physically able to sweep the floor every few months, and I was using my power scooter more frequently. There were bouts last year and the year before where for a few days, I felt strong and could move around more, but I would 'crash' for weeks or months on end. Now I seem to kick back without crashing so hard. Peggys herbs and protocols are easy and I would say to anyone to stay away from antibiotics and give this a try. I have a way to go, but this is unbelievably huge progress. I would recommend her to anyone with chronic lyme. (please note, I also was doing a phone class and the online www.beinhealth.com the same time I was seeing Peggy, as well as some EFT tapping along thru a CD, glutathione nebulizer, and improving my diet) It all works together. This disease requires mind, body, and soul, and I am so grateful for Peggy!

DR

Peggy began treating me about 12 years ago, so I’ve experienced the evolution of her treatment of lyme disease. I’m trained in scientific method and I was skeptical of muscle testing, energy paths, and other strange concepts new to me. But numerous times I’ve intentionally not bothered to tell her at the beginning of a treatment what history, symptoms, and pains I was experiencing and she would ask me early in the session if I was experiencing the exact things I was keeping from her. Eventually, I got so much better, I quit seeing her for a year and relied on a strict diet and exercise routine; but that didn’t work. When we started, I slept 9 hours a night supplemented by an hour and a half nap in the afternoon. Now I sleep 7 hours a night, 6 will do, with a half hour nap. Once upon a time I was sick half the winter and used twentyish sick days per year. In the past 6 years, as Peggy has refined her techniques and knowledge, I have used one sick day--and that’s while going through an unwanted divorce which necessitated increasing my workweek from full time to 50% more than full time. I feel better, work better, and play harder at age 54 than I did in my twenties. Sixteen years ago I became a paid frontline firefighter in order to write. Despite the physical stresses of the job, I still keep up with the young bucks. One anecdotal example is not statistical proof, but there’s much to lose if one doesn’t try; and if one gains as much as I have, the cost is not only worth the money and relatively small amounts of time, but is highly profitable. My number is 505-660-6588, if you want more information.

The clinic in Santa Fe, New Mexico is called el Bienestar: well-being.

The main goal of the Lyme protocol published on this site, is to maintain and support the patient's strength, well-being and immune system throughout the treatment process. The idea is that if you help the body itself to recognize the infection, it can itself be stimulated to combat it. The protocol combines two decades of experience in acupuncture, muscle testing and energetic medicine and aims to provide a synthesized, all-natural way to alleviate the symptoms and causes of Lyme. Peggy Creelman graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College in 1987, and was certified in Applied Kiniseology in 1998.
