The LDF is
extremely concerned about the continuing disclosure that some
Lyme disease patients are being injected with malaria inflected
blood samples in the hope that the malaria will kill the Lyme
infection. This process is very dangerous and not a proven cure!
The LDF continues to be opposed to this unfortunate practice.
There are
many serious complications arising from this procedure. To our
knowledge, there is no research in any animal model anywhere
in the world that indicates malaria works on the Lyme disease
spirochete. Any study of such radical means should be done under
strict scientific protocol, preferably in the United States,
and under strict FDA evaluation and standards. Until such evidence
is present, this practice cannot be condoned.
However, patients
have gone outside the United States to receive their injection,
then have returned home to wait for the fever to start. Some
of these patients have gone without medical supervision while
sick. There is often a latency of symptoms after the high fever
and treatment which is falsely interpreted as a cure.
Additional
concern is justified. Since actual blood products of infected
malaria patients are used, there is a real danger for potential
transmission of other dangerous and latent diseases (AIDS, hepatitis,
etc.). If you have any doubts about the U.S. blood supply and
testing for AIDS, you should be doubly concerned about foreign
blood. The malaria induced high fever, sometimes lasting a week,
is extremely detrimental to normal body functions and can lead
to serious cell degeneration resulting in brain damage, organ
failure and even death. According to Dr. James Miller, malaria
induced fevers, used for syphilis patients, caused some victims
hearts (aorta) to rupture due to undetected spirochetal damage.
Dr. Miller is the world's leading spirochetologist and trained
under a physician who actually used fever therapy for syphilis
patients. Malaria therapy was abandoned in favor of the less
extreme treatment of arsenic.
This use of
human experimentation violates the Helsinki Accord on Human Experimentation
and marks the introduction of a new strain of malaria into the
U.S. Although originally touted that malaria infected people
pose no risk of importing this disease because the mosquitoes
are "the wrong kind" that is now known to be incorrect.
According to Dr. Jorge Benach, an entomologist and mosquito expert,
the Anopheles mosquito, commonly found throughout the U.S., can
harbor and spread this infection. Therefore, the introduction
of infected people does pose a risk of transmitting disease to
others.
To our knowledge,
obtained directly from some patients, all those who flew to Mexico
to receive this treatment (now costing $10,000 per person) have
relapsed. Most disturbing is the disclosure that at least one
known case of malaria infected blood was transported across state
lines to a patient in Texas to inject into himself. Any patient
who is supplies information regarding this extremely dangerous
treatment should contact his or her State Health Department.
