Re: What’s your take on Lyme disease?

Don’t soak your seeds and nuts … except almonds.

Don’t fight the phytate.

Borrelia is the genus of bacteria that “causes” Lyme disease.

Most viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and isoparasites (cancer cells) rely on iron to defend themselves against the human immune system.

Iron withholding is an appropriate technique to accompany the immune system’s own emergency iron-withholding processes.

Borrelia uses manganese, not iron, to defend itself against the human immune system.

Ironically (pun intended), an enzyme protecting against free radical damage, mitochondrial manganese-superoxide dismutase, “feeds” Borrelia.

Why is bad-mouthing phytic acid and phytate as “anti-nutrients” fashionable these days?

So unscrupulous supplement companies can sell it back to us at exorbitant prices as a cancer-killing agent under the more marketable and scientific-sounding name of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6).

Folks are unnecessarily soaking their seeds and nuts in water or acidic liquids – or sprouting them – to reduce phytic acid levels.

Phytic acid prevents excess manganese absorption, taming it with time-linked ingestion.

(1) Breakfast – It’s no accident manganese-rich walnuts are also one of the richest sources of phytic acid.

(2) Lunch – Beans, grains, and seeds (especially sesame seeds) are rich in phytic acid.

(3) Supper – Potatoes and peanuts are rich in phytic acid.

No matter what you do to a potato – boil it, bake it, fry it, microwave it, dextrinize it – it won’t lose its phytic acid.

Phytic acid also reduces the risk of osteoporosis by making calcium less absorbable.

(The above sentence is not a misprint. I didn’t mean “more” absorbable.)

Phytic acid removes uranium from the body, chelating it along the same lines as the chelating agent EDTA.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine …

(1) 2% to 40% of Lyme disease patients will also be infected with Babesia, the “cause” of Babesiosis, a malaria-like parasitic disease, and

(2) 2% to 12% of Lyme disease patients will also be infected with Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the “cause” of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA).

Mosquitoes, deer flies, and horse flies carry Borrelia too.

I know at least one person who “got” Lyme disease from a horse fly bite.
