Cabbage and greens maybe needed for crepitus and malic acid, cyder vinegar, see Margeret Hills Arthritis cure book. crepitus can be caused by vitamin D deficiency (apparently!) and a symptom of chondromalacia. Exercise will not fix the knees, glucosamine doesn't work for everyone and the sugar in it feeds the Lyme bacteria, nor will walking around a swimming pool or swimming in one, according to the kindle book I read on a guy who had knee problems. He did mention strengthening his spine and garlic. I will embarase myself and tell everyone I have crepitus in my knees. I am upset about this. I do not know what to do about it, I need help. It came on after 4 months of been bitten by at least 50 ticks within June/july. But I can honestly say my fatigue,crying spells, numbness/balance troubles, TMJ, burning pain in over IF i do not eat carbs, fruit (I have not tried the fruit/peel) over a time. I do not want glucosamine. I am beginning to think that greenest of vegetables and lots of them will work! That is cabbage, kale, broccoli and malic acid, in order to reduce the calcium deposits caused by Lyme bacteria, in others it can be due to acidic diets. I have read that high meat diets and saturated fats, have been blamed. Also, diets deficient in vitamin D, magnesium, too much grain (acidic). My knee's seem to need a different treatment, and Lyme diet and arthritis diet can only be worked out perhaps if one has LOTS OF GREEN VEGGIES! The fact they alkalise seems to be important, and there mineral content maybe involved, they have anti spirochete activity, help liver clear blood, so maybe the joints get clear, they are an antiinflammatory. Maybe they provide a mysterious ingrediant. Some people have mentioned fermented vegetables, garlic. I WANT MY KNEE'S BETTER AND THEY ARE GOING TO GET BETTER! But if anyone has any good advice, (don't want drugs) I am ready! Jeff! When your ready, maybe in a few months, I do not know. I have just thought of a great (UNTESTED!) way you can eat apples/other veggies. They are a prebiotic, gr8 for your gut, EAT THE PEEL ONLY! Study any veggie, even a carrot and you will find all the goodness is right on the outside, so is the fibre (the juicer usually takes this bit, LOL!). The fruit and veggies have the most alkoloids and nutrients (antioxidants) in order to protect themselves from insects and micobes etc. If we eat the outside, we get more fibre, more nourishment, minerals and vitamins, less carbs/sugars. We get more sprays, pesticides as well, so buy organic fruit or eat wild/garden fruits skins. Again in moderate amounts. Last of all, do what I don't do yet!.... relax, meditate (prayer for those that believe it) read the mind over matter book, use a pendulum for answers (do not know if it is any use, I find it very hard to use), kinesiology can help some (not scientifically validated for diagnosing disease, excellent for muscle balancing and finding weakness's in body). Spend more time with nature and appreciating life. This is what people realise is important when they to have down a very slippery slope and in doing this (I have heard) can sometimes bring answers that people need that is unique to themselves. It brings answers and maybe healing that I can't do perhaps. Looking into your lifestyle, people you associate with, reflect upon your life, weaknesses and strengths in order to work on these to empower you. Emotional freedom technique (EFT), Reiki, spiritual healing, possible homeopathy I have read about on the internet for lyme disease in humans/dogs/horses is Ledum 1M x 3 can be helpful. Bark flower remedies/Australian bush flowers might be helpful for those emotionally/mentally effected by Lyme disease. To get rid of some of the alcohol, put drops in hot water, let it evaporate.

It helps to get in the little pockets in the gut and take out any bad matter/parasites. It is a zero carb insoluble fiber so you do not get constipated (even though you will not on nuts/veggies) but it helps to clear the gut of dried matter and get in the places your foods will not! It is a jelly substance. The gut must be clean, it is where the spirochetes live. Spirochetes live in the mid-gut of termites, ticks so why not us. They sleep here, scientists have found them in the gut in man. They burrow into the gut and pass through the liver when the environment/temperatures/chemical signals trigger them too. The good bacteria must be enocuraged, so that we can limit their numbners. A study was shown that neem lowers the spirochetes http://ars.usda.gov/research/publications/publications.htm?SEQ_NO_115=198319 Aloe vera - heal gut, slippery elm - soothe the gut, marshmallow root - seal the gut, helps with leaky gut syndrome. Door 3 (vitamin A and D) Organ meats (grass fed) eat the guts and grease! http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional-diets/628-guts-and-grease.html and enough fat soluble vitamins Sunlight, fatty fish like halibut rich in vitamin D. Door 4 Exercise and sweat/weight lifting. If you have grinding knees, do not sit around, gentle walking is important for you, terrible arthritis get of the fats and do swimming and gentle walks. Bed ridden unable to exercise - High fat diet, low carb (like Jeff's) should removes the hopelessness, neurological severe symptoms EXTREME!!!!!!! burning pain, numbness, cramp, crawling skin, memory loss/balance issues and crying :D Then exercise. Door 5 Heat and infra-red sauna, steam sauna. Syphilis use to be eradicated with heat (getting body temp upto 42 degrees) and herbs that helped one sweat. Infra red sauna works differently. The spirochete/HIV doesn't like heat, according to what I have heard they can be eradicated with heat. Hyperthermia gave one man a HIV negative status, also read the olive lead extract book if you have HIV. Olive leaf extract capsules (Swansons) 6-9 capsules a day suppost to lower viral load - prove it with tests! Back to syphilis - such an excruciating and painful disease that some patients wanted their legs chopped off to get rid of the pain. Well, I got rid of my Lyme disease burning pains getting all the veggies out, all the foods but fatty dairy/raw cheese, fatty meat and staying on this diet for some weeks! Then I got back on the veggies, had some fish and exercised. I also used a sauna (briefly because I hated it). Door 6 - Water, perhaps 1.5 litres. Ideally a water with minumum nitrates.. I have not studied water well at all. Research it, but remember that water devices maybe driven by wanting to make money rather than get you healthy. Their is no evidence that distilled water is better for you. Nature does offer distilled water in veggies, so maybe some celery juice maybe OK, but water hydrates. Celery and anything but water is always considered a food to the body (despite it hydrating). Don't bother with tea/coffee/milk. Door 7 Garlic (raw/aged/essential oil/kwai/allicinmax/allicin/cooked) - helps to stimulate phase 2 liver, detoxification, anti-inflammatory, kills fungus, bacteria, viruses, but eat in very sensible amounts. Read about garlic - Diallyl Disulfide, Diallyl Trisulfide (garlic). Take care because it will lower your cholesterol, blood lipids, blood pressure, blood sugar. It does kill of a little of your good bacteria, it doesn't encourage antibiotic reistance. It has shown to kill Borrelia burdorferi, Candida albicans, MRSA etc. No animal eats it but us. Door 8 - Kill on the full moon! Have a garlic with fat party every full moon, don't forget the heavy rock! Old witch talk - have teasel root, everyday coming upto full moon and on the full moon. You can make it out of dried herb. Sweat. Door 9 - LEFT TO SCIENCE) Anyone have any suggestings? Rife, prayer, meditation, natural healing, xeolites, various protocols, burbur, samento, curcumin. Door 10 - I know there is more... TIME! Time to kill and allow the immune system to eradicate it and allow the cysts burst (grape fruit seed extract kills cysts!). Knee arthritis - neem capsules, vitamin D, fats, chlorella (absorb toxins) magnesium, I presume silica, magnesium gets a big hit Door 2 (bowel)

Mushrooms contain vitamins D2 as well : ). Anyway, a huge proportion of the natural killer T cells are in the liver, check out these dudes, they wear their sunglasses all day, and are mobile looking out for viruses/bacteria, and are the coolest characters I have met in association of defeating Lyme disease. They want to take out and ENGULF our SPIROCHETES! They are concentrated in the liver and clean out our blood. Our blood can be influenced by our bowel (must be healthy, speak later on this). They are not the full story, but a massive player. We must look after our liver, improve these NKT cell numbers. How? I think we can do it by eating more cruciferous green vegetables (broccoli/kale/cabbage/cauliflower) and eggs, bitter herbs!!!

I feel that the metabolic type is bizare! I would "rationalise" that surely any blood type would need to go on our origional paleo diet in order to starve the bacteria (TB/Lyme), kill it and protect the body from it's dangerous biotoxins - Liposaccharides/spores! Maybe having more veggies maybe prefered for some, but the saturated fats, fatty meats, seem a staple on a diet to fight TB or Lyme disease. Accept some out their will not take me seriously, and some that do take me seriously will not remove the grain and beans! The diet has to be just right and your diet Jeff is in the range, I know this because your getting better, I can predict your going to be "better" because I can see the signs "fatty lamb and beef" and "fatty raw cheese". The nuts and green veggies will provide calcium, manganese, magnesium, boron, vitamin E and everything that grain/bean would give you, but better! Your handling quite alot of carbs.... almonds are about 13g carb per 100g. Some raw foodists would say "Jeff, you must soak all your nuts, in water, overnight in the fridge, it is essential you do this to remove the phytates, which bind to the minerals like grains/beans do, and remove other things via soaking them, as all the other animals do!". Squirrels put acorns underground which soaks them and nuts have alot of phytates in that can be harmful if your eating alot of them. So.... SOAK YOUR NUTS! Interesting you mention no fish, seafood, but mercury maybe on your mind. From my previous experience I got worse on fish oil and scientists have shown it reduces the NK cells by 48%... take a look: http://sci.tech-archive.net/Archive/sci.med.nutrition/2009-02/msg00010.html Jeff, your diet is excellent. It will hold your Lyme in control, but eradication, I predict, will not occur yet. Now I had a theory that if saturated fats like raw cheese, lamb and beef fats were the so called antibiotic, you would have to be on your antibiotic strictly taking it regularly like doctors order... for many many months, maybe a reality of years! The Lyme bacteria can encyst for 6 years! The cysts can be their when all bacteria has been killed off. I suspect fungal forms after feeling lyme symptoms and seeing things but I might be wrong, could be just enocuraged via the Lyme. People that have been bitten by ticks may have Mycoplasma, and this is a bacteria fungus. Lyme is found in 4 forms according to science and it takes alot to kill them all! The fat seems to be a persistant killer of fungus. Fat can stick to linings and be their to kill of unwanted stuff. Jeff, How long have you had Lyme disease? What were your symptoms, i.e. any numbness/BURNING of limbs, memory loss, balance issues, depression, fatigue? When your body went down hill what symptom came and what came first, i.e. was it sugary food and fatigue? Your diet sounds anti-lyme. The fruit is a very iffy part, and I am studying fruit as we speak. Apples contain lots of apple pectin (link deleted as may have breached copyright) - now if you can't have fruit, what is stopping you taking the probiotioc "apple pectin". It is likely to raise your good bacteria and you need all all your head quarters working! Malic acid which counteracts uric acid obtained from meat, by-product of metabolism. Potentially for those with crepitus, i.e. a grinding/crackling knee, taking malic acid might dissove some of the calcium deposits. Fruits contains anthocyanins, bioflavanoids (also in the white rind of the orange/lemon/grapefruit!) Ellagic Acid in in rasberries but also in the leaves!!! These act to look after yor capillaries, tiny blood vessels, act as antiinflammatories, and help you heal, raise cartilage. Now some patients are using IV vitamin C, it has shown to decrease spirochetes. Vitamin C has shown to decrease spirochetes in the stomach as well.... preventing the risk of Helicobacter pylori infection (symptoms, very bad heart burn, gnawing pains/ulcer, ill on alot of foods, breathign probs, relief on eating.. what to do (see doctor!) - mastic gum capsules before bed/empty stomach, stop spices, fruit, alcohol, all greasy/fatty foods untill your better, get relief from milk of magnesia!) They are seasonal foods, but I think they are a big problem for people suffering from Lyme disease because they take out the fats, encourage fungus. BUT.... they contain valuable ingredients... firstly the vitamin C can be obtained by you consuming green peppers (about 5g per 100g), broccoli, cabbage. Tomatoes maybe a real issue, yet the contain lycopene and in small amounts maybe OK (carb is 3.1g per 100g). Citrus fruit pulls out toxins, pulls out fats, cleans body. Lemons are low in carb, yet, I think they maybe lethal for alot of Lymies but when symptoms decrease to nothing over some years, getting in some flavonoids/flavones/flavonols, could be via your own home made lemonade in small doses! All fruit is likely to have some fungus on it. Some use a special wash to decrease it. Jeff your on another level to the rest. The saturated fat in your diet, the low carbohydrate from leaving beans/grains gets the cholesterol up. Even the bad cholesterol (LDL) becomes a good form on yoru diet, changing from the low molecular size to a higher molecular size! The doctors do not measure what type of LDL you have! Low carbohydrate experts do! THIS IS JUST FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES AND I DO NOT INTEND TO TREAT OR DIAGNOSE ANYONE. I AM NOT A DOCTOR. PLEASE SEE YOUR
DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ANY ON MY IDEAS UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN YOUR DOCTOR FIRST.

Fruits contains anthocyanins, bioflavanoids (also in the white rind of the orange/lemon/grapefruit!) Ellagic Acid
in in rasberries but also in the leaves!!! These act to look after yor capillaries, tiny blood vessels, act as antiinflammatories, and help you heal, raise cartilage. Now some patients are using IV vitamin C, it has shown to decrease spirochetes. Vitamin C has shown to decrease spirochetes in the stomach as well…. preventing the risk of Helicobacter pylori infection (symptoms, very bad heart burn, gnawing pains/ulcer, ill on alot of foods, breathign probs, relief on eating.. what to do (see doctor!) – mastic gum capsules before bed/empty stomach, stop spices, fruit, alcohol, all greasy/fatty foods untill your better, get relief from milk of magnesia!) They are seasonal foods, but I think they are a big problem for people suffering from Lyme disease because they take out the fats, encourage fungus. BUT…. they contain valuable ingredients… firstly the vitamin C can be obtained by you consuming green peppers (about 5g per 100g), broccoli, cabbage. Tomatoes maybe a real issue, yet the contain lycopene and in small amounts maybe OK (carb is 3.1g per 100g). Citrus fruit pulls out toxins, pulls out fats, cleans body. Lemons are low in carb, yet, I think they maybe lethal for alot of Lymies but when symptoms decrease to nothing over some years, getting in some flavonoids/flavones/flavonols, could be via your own home made lemonade in small doses! All fruit is likely to have some fungus on it. Some use a special wash to decrease it.

Jeff your on another level to the rest. The saturated fat in your diet, the low carbohydrate from leaving beans/grains gets the cholesterol up. Even the bad cholesterol (LDL) becomes a good form on yoru diet, changing from the low molecular size to a higher molecular size! The doctors do not measure what type of LDL you have! Low carbohydrate experts do!

First things to go were alcohol, sugar, dairy (I was brainwashed back then just using low fat/non fat), beans and grains. This was without ever picking up a book or researching...I was just listening to my body. Over course when I started trying to find books on the proper diet they all lead me to lean meats, low fat, high veggies and I would get worse. Have either of you read either of the books on Metabolic Typing? Finally last year I did and discovered I was a protein type and I was suppose to be eating more fats/protein, but that directly conflicted with most of the "lyme diets" I was reading so I didn't really commit fully. Either way I did improve, but then unfortunately a well intentioned naturalpath got a hold of me insisting I get alkaline...I even got a juicer. All made me worse...At first I thought they were healing reactions but sadly they weren't and I got worse and worse...more time wasted. Luckily last week I just happened to take my Metabolic Typing Books off the shelf and then I came across your amazing posts Catherine. Since Thursday I have been eating the following: Grassfed beef, lamb, bison, dark meat turkey (some), salmon (some) Low carb veggies. Even carrots are too much for me. I think I have bloodsugar/insulin issues. Liberal amounts of fat in the form of butter & coconut oil on the veggies. Most exciting of all is after 2 years of no dairy I've added. Raw Cheese as well as full fat Cottage Cheese!!!!! So good. I pretty much put that on a lot of my veggies as well. Also about 3-4 good sized handfuls of walnuts, pecans, almonds & macademias. My body is in heaven...I hope it lasts! =) I also have read all the paleo books and have totally given up on legumes and grains. I do seem to like dairy though so I suppose I am conveniently sidestepping to the "Primal Blueprint" type thinking where he isn't totally against dairy. I will continue to totally stay away from fruit as well. My natural instinct is to keep trying to push the limits, but I am so happy with the above that I want to see it work it's magic. The most exciting thing for me is that it mirrors what you are talking about Catherine and I believe you have lyme as well. What I am hoping is this lifts my immune system to a whole other level!!! Thank you again. If the admin is not able to give you my email we will work something out.
