Hi Sarahjane,
Years ago I took Jernigan's Borrelogen, Neuro-Antitox (CNS/PNS), and Microbojen. I didn't have Bart, I had Ehrlichiosis. I suggest you buy Dr. Jernigan's book as it has so much information as well as instructions (Gerdy list the telephone number to order it below):
Below is a link from a member named Gerdy who took Lymogen:
/www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=4014632And below is from Chapter 10 from Connie Strasheim's book called "New Paradigms in Lyme Disease Treatment" 10 Top Doctors Reveal Healing Strategies That Work (gives you dosing instructions):
lymebook.com/david-jernigan-treatment-of-lyme-diseaseThe Jernigan Nutraceuticals™ formulas, which we use for the Perfect-7 protocol, contain targeted frequencies that function like botanical software programs to facilitate your body’s ability to address and heal specific issues. They “broadcast” their unique frequencies according to their specific molecular structure and don’t just enable your body to address the microbes, but also positively affect the energy of your entire body.
Lymogen™, Borrelogen™ and Microbojen™ are the three primary frequency-matched antimicrobial formulas that I recommend for people with Lyme disease as part of the Perfect-7 protocol. They all contain an incredible range of energetic frequencies that aid in healing the body and combine to “answer” every question and problem that the body might have by creating perfect integrity within it as it is being challenged by microbes.
Borrelogen has the longest history of clinical experience behind it, but Lymogen is exciting because it incorporates all of the advanced understanding that I have gained about
frequencymatched remedies over the last nine years since I first developed Borrelogen. Lymogen is a completely unique remedy which, when rotated with Borrelogen, packs an amazing “one-two punch” to the microbes. All of the remedies are unsurpassed in their promotion of long-term health.
Paragen™ is another remedy that we use. It is not a part of the Perfect-7 protocol, but research shows that there are Lyme spirochete-infected nematodes in the brain tissue of people with chronic neurological illnesses. Paragen is a gentle way to address these. If you wish to incorporate this remedy into your program, I would recommend using the same dosage recommendations as for Borrelogen (more on dosing later).
None of these formulations treat disease in the classic sense of the word. They are not “antibiotics,” nor are they directly antimicrobial in the classic sense of how antibiotics are used; instead, they provide the body with the specific informational frequencies that it needs to overcome and control microbes. For this reason, I believe that these remedies are vastly superior to natural or prescript
ion antibiotics. If the antibiotics cannot kill every last Lyme spirochete and every last co-infection (and the research confi that they cannot), then the ultimate treatment would and should train the body to keep the bacteria under permanent control through energetic and immune system regulation. These formulas are designed to work according to God’s design of the human body, instead of doing for the body what the body should do for itself, as most prescript
ion drugs do.
That said, no matter the antimicrobial treatment that you decide to use, assume that the microbes will immediately strive to survive and adapt to the treatments. They will attempt to either morph or change their shape in order to do this, and/or they will attempt to change your internal environment.
Borrelogen, in particular, has been clinically and laboratory tested to be very effective for a majority of people. My book Beating Lyme Disease as well as my website contain a presentation that I did at the 1999 International Tick-Borne Diseases conference in New York City in which I share the research proving the effectiveness of Borrelogen. Yet even as good as this formula is, some of the microbes are likely to become resistant to it. Therefore, we have developed a strategy to address this, which involves rotating all three antimicrobial remedies throughout the treatment protocol. The suggested protocol is as follows:
1. Take Borrelogen for two months.
2. Then, take Lymogen for two months. (Reverse steps 1 and 2 and start the protocol with Lymogen if you also have Bartonella.)
3. Switch to Microbojen for two months.
4. If you still have symptoms of infection, take Borrelogen and Lymogen simultaneously for two months using the same recommended doses.
Following this regimen and employing the other tools in the Perfect-7 protocol will move you toward a better quality of life. Even if you feel dramatically better soon after beginning this protocol, it is not wise to discontinue the plan too soon. Our experience has been that most people who feel better early on and quit the treatments prematurely experience a re-occurrence of their symptoms, and their test results remain positive for Lyme. Following is more information on each one of these remedies.
Borrelogen is a frequency-matched botanical formula that is specifically formulated to provide the body with the bio-information that it needs to facilitate the body’s own antimicrobial control mechanisms. It was frequency-matched to also address multiple strains of Borrelia that are found in both the United States and Europe. It treats all forms of the organism, including the cystic or L-form. It is also useful for treating some of the common co-infections such as Babesia microti, Ehrlichia and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Borrelogen has been tested in the lab and has been found to release Lyme antigens in a manner that is far superior to that of antibiotics. (Lyme antigens are dead fragments of Borrelia bacteria DNA.) The research on this can be found in my book Beating Lyme Disease.
Borrelogen was formulated according to the results of bio-resonance testing rather than the plants’ known actions or historical uses. If Borrelogen is taken according to the Perfect-7 protocol, you should not experience a Herxheimer reaction, even if you are extremely sensitive. However, if you are sensitive, you may want to work up slowly to the recommended dosage, starting with only a few drops at a time to see how your body reacts, before increasing the amount. If you feel worse after taking it, then this means that your organs of elimination are likely not working well and need to be supported.
Borrelogen was also tested by an independent pharmaceutical laboratory on male and female rats using standardized FDA protocols and found to be non-toxic at up to 150 times the maximum recommended dosage. The recommended protocol for taking Borrelogen is as follows:
For teenagers and adults: Squeeze 1–2 dropperfuls (one dropperful = one squeeze) of Borrelogen under the tongue; swish it around the teeth and then swallow. Take three times daily, with or without food. Children 7–12 years of age should take 1 dropper, 2–3 times per day. Children under 6 should use 10 drops, 2–3 times per day.
Lymogen
I developed Lymogen due to the increased public demand for a frequency-matched remedy that would provide the body with the bio-information that it needs to facilitate its ability to deal with a wider range of Lyme spirochetes and Lyme-related microbes. It specifically addresses all of the U.S. and European strains of Lyme Borrelia, along with all of the most common Lyme co-infections such as Babesia, Bartonella, Mycoplasma and viruses.
Lymogen should always be taken in water or juice. The recommended dosage for teens and adults is 1–2 dropperfuls (one dropper = one squeeze) in 3–4 ounces of water or diluted juice. Swish it around in your mouth, and then swallow it. Take it three times daily, with or without food. Children 7–12 years of age should use 1 dropperful in 3–4 ounces of water or diluted juice, 2–3 times daily. Children under 6 should take 10 drops in 1–2 ounces of water or diluted juice, 2–3 times daily.
Always consult with a healthcare practitioner before starting any child on any herbal formula. As with Borrelogen, if this product is taken as directed as part of the Perfect-7 protocol, virtually no Herxheimer (toxin die-off) reactions should occur.
Microbojen is a formula that was created to enable the body to address the broadest spectrum of microbes. The herbs that were used to create this frequency-matched formula were selected with the idea that their combined effects would address any real-life scenario of possible infection, short of, but possibly including genetically modified microbes, such as what is seen in biological warfare. It is a well-balanced and gentle formula, considering its tremendous power and ability to facilitate the body’s own defenses in the presence of an amazing array of the world’s worst microbes.
Testing has revealed that it could hypothetically protect a person infected with Lyme Borrelia, smallpox, anthrax, HIV, Hepatitis B and C, West Nile virus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus and Bubonic plaque, all at the same time. Obviously, it is unlikely that any of us would be infected with all of these microbes at once; however, I believe this formula is highly effective for defending against a wide range of the world’s worst “designer microbes.”
In addition, it tests amazingly well against the evil set of microbes involved in Lyme disease: Borrelia spirochetes, as well as many of their “partners,” including Babesia microti, Ehrlichia and the many viruses that are found in chronic sufferers.
Recommended dosages for Microbojen are as follows: 1–2 dropperfuls, 2–3 times daily for adults, or 1 dropperful, twice daily for children aged 7–12, and 10 drops, 2–3 times daily for children under 6. Always consult a healthcare practitioner before starting a child on any herbal formula. Like all of the Jernigan Nutraceuticals formulas, Microbojen is frequency-matched to provide the body with the information and building blocks that it needs to overcome and control specific problems.
The Importance of Eliminating Ammonia, a Potent Lyme Neurotoxin
Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson’s, autism and many other chronic illnesses cause ammonia buildup in the body. Ammonia is a very potent neurotoxin that accumulates in the brain and tissues. As part of healing the body from Lyme, it is imperative to remove the ammonia from it, while also supporting the organs and addressing the cause of the ammonia, which is, in the case of Lyme, the Borrelia bacteria. The bacteria produce what’s called a urease enzyme, which enables the conversion of naturally occurring urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. The action of this bacterial enzyme causes large amounts of ammonia to be produced in the brain, heart and liver.
In very severe and advanced cases of neurological Lyme disease, there is also a deficiency of an enzyme called ornithine transcarbamylase, which is normally produced by the body to break down ammonia into urea for excretion via the urine. This would be considered a urea cycle disorder. I believe that it is the accumulation of Lyme bacteria ammonia combined with this urea cycle disorder that causes some people to have more severe neurological problems compared to other people who do not.
What’s more, dealing with the ammonia accumulation is more important for reversing the damage that Lyme has done to the body than eliminating the bacteria, although eliminating bacteria is important as well. Research shows that the bacteria don’t “eat” the tissues of the body, but that the tissues are destroyed by the toxic bacterial byproducts.
Ammonia is very alkaline, with a pH of 11.6, which is way more alkaline than the neutral pH of 7.4 found in a normal, healthy body. Many doctors have been taught that most sick people have acidic bodies. While this is often true in other types of chronic illnesses, in people with Lyme disease, it is not that simple. People with Lyme may be predominantly acidic (<7 pH), and their urine and saliva may be acidic, but the areas of the body where there is ammonia accumulation from Borrelia are extremely alkaline.
This is why many people with Lyme disease experience a worsening of symptoms when they drink alkaline water, or consume alkaline-promoting fresh fruits and vegetables. It appears that alkalinizing substances can aggravate the already over-alkaline ammonia regions of the body, including the brain, heart and liver. The ammonia must be cleared before the more acidic regions of the body can be addressed.
Because Lyme bacteria seem to thrive in the highly alkaline environment created by ammonia (11.6 pH), attempting to kill the bacteria by drinking highly alkaline water or following alkaline-promoting diets will not work. Once the Lyme bacteria and ammonia issues are adequately treated, then following a diet rich in alkaline foods seems to be best for Lyme patients.
To help the body eliminate ammonia and other toxins, and as part of the Perfect-7 protocol, I recommend using one of three different botanical formulas called Neuro-Antitox™ (more on these later). To find the ingredients for these formulas, I traveled far and wide, to such diverse places as Brazil, and tested some of the best plants from the Amazon, as well as those from Europe and Africa. I also had medicine men in Africa travel deep into the jungle to gather their favorite medicinal plants for me to test. In addition, I visited huge plant specimen repositories and tested large collections of Chinese medicinal herbals, not to mention everything that I could get my hands on from standard botanical and homeopathic arsenals. I did all of this and more to relieve my patients’ suffering and come up with better solutions for them.
As a result of all this testing and research, I only found two botanicals out of 5,000 that were consistently useful for removing ammonia from the brain and the rest of the body. These two botanicals are Silphium laciniatum leaf extract and Hibiscus sabdarifa leaf extract. I created an extract from Silphium called “Siphitrin,” which is the primary ingredient in the Neuro-Antitox formulas. The Hibiscus sabdarifa leaf extract is also available as a standalone remedy that can be taken by itself or at the same time as a Neuro-Antitox formula.
Besides Silphium laciniatum’s function as an amazing anti-neurotoxin, it has successfully been used throughout history to treat various cancers, as well as all forms of asthma and bronchitis. Resonance testing reveals that Silphium may also bind heavy metals and break down isopropyl alcohol and benzene accumulations in the body and thereby add to its phenomenal arsenal of beneficial effects.
The Neuro-Antitox II formulas also contain blue sage extract, which was identified through testing as being the next most effective botanical remedy for removing ammonia.
The particular formula that you choose for detoxing should be based upon where your worst symptoms are. For example, if your worst symptoms are related to your nerves and brain, you’ll want to use Neuro-Antitox II CNS/PNS™ formula. For muscle and joint pain, I recommend Neuro-Antitox II Musculo-Skeletal™, and for cardiac symptoms, I recommend Neuro-Antitox II™ or the Basic Formula™. More information on each of these formulas can be found in the following sections.
As a general recommendation, take 1–3 droppers of the formulas, 2–3 times per day, with or without food. You may have to use more than one formula if you have problems in multiple areas, in which case, 1–2 droppers are recommended from each corresponding formula.
Specific recommended dosages:
• Teens-adults: Take 1–2 droppers, 2–3 times per day in water, with or without food.
• For children 7–12 years of age: 1 dropper, 2 times per day in water
• For children under 6: 10 drops, 2–3 times per day
Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting a child on any herbal formula.
Neuro-Antitox II CNS/PNS
Neuro-Antitox II CNS/PNS is for people who are suffering primarily from problems in the brain, meningesand peripheral nervesasaresult of Lyme toxins and heavy metals. Indications for its use include, but are not limited to: cognitive disturbances, dizziness, vertigo, vision disturbances, neuritis (nerve inflammation), neuralgia (nerve pain), numbness, palsies and headaches.
Neuro-Antitox II Musculo-Skeletal is a formula that works well for people who are suffering primarily from muscle and joint problems as a result of Lyme toxins and heavy metals. Indications for its use include muscle and joint pain and weakness, sensations of burning, tingling, radiating pain, swelling, arthritis and rheumatic conditions in the extremities.
Neuro-Antitox II Cardio is for people who are suffering primarily from heart problems as a result of Lyme toxins and heavy metals. Indications for this product’s use include angina, palpitations, hypertension, arrhythmia, valve problems, shoulder and arm pain, shortness of breath and chronic fatigue.
Neuro-Antitox II Basic
The Basic formula is good for global, or whole-body, elimination of Lyme toxins and heavy metals, and for those who are unsure of which specific Neuro-Antitox II formula to take.
The only diff between the Musculo-Skeletal and CNS/PNS Neuro-Antitox II formulas is the use of Sarco-Bioenergetic Potencies™, which are energetically created homeopathic remedies that may act as agents to direct the Silphium and Pale Spike to the specific tissues where they are needed so that they don’t just circulate around the body randomly. The Basic formula does not contain any Sarco-Bioenergetic Potencies and is therefore good to use when you are not sure which formula you need or when you have more global symptoms.
The combined effect of these key ingredients makes the Neuro-Antitox II formulas a necessary component of any well-rounded treatment plan.
To minimize Herxheimer reactions, I recommend that the Neuro-Antitox II supplement be taken for at least one week prior to beginning any antibiotic or other medical/alternative treatment. Herxheimer reactions are caused by toxins, and the Neuro-Antitox II formulas are designed to mop up, bind up, and break down Lyme-related toxins and eliminate any adverse reactions to the Lyme bacteria die-off.
In people with Lyme disease, ammonia is commonly found in the liver, heart, brain and jaws, but in some cases, such as in those with MS and ALS, it can be found everywhere in the body. For this reason, I suggest that anyone with MS or ALS take L-ornithine/L-aspertate in addition to the NeuroAntitox formulas. The L-ornithine/L-aspertate combination used to be a German prescript
ion drug called Hepamertz, which was used to reduce the ammonia seen in severe liver diseases. The ingredients in this product are now available in combination as an over-the-counter supplement online. However, L-ornithine/L-aspartate does not work as well in the brain as the NeuroAntitox formula, which is why I recommend that people with MS or ALS take both of these products together.
In addition to all of these things, you should drink eight ounces of purified water on an hourly basis to keep metabolic toxins flushed out of your tissues. Some people have difficulty drinking water, so putting fresh lemon juice or Ningxia Red wolfberry juice into cool (but not cold) water may make it easier to consume more water.
Finally, after you have completed the recommended treatment protocol for Borrelogen, Lymogen and/or Microbojen and the other remedies mentioned here, you can add in other botanicals or herbal remedies to Step 1 of the Perfect-7 protocol. Such remedies may include, but are not limited to, Immuni-T3 by Longevity Plus; APS Solution from Ancient Formulas; the herb teasel, and a colloidal silver product called Argentyn 23. For more information on Immuni-T3 and Argentyn 23, see: LongevityPlus.com and Natural-Immunogenics.com, respectively.
Continue with each of the other steps of the protocol in the same manner, regardless of which antimicrobial remedies you use for step 1.
Hope this helps,
