Mayo Clinic Trained Physician - Dr Miller Speaks out about Lyme Disease

11/29/2017

22 Comments

 
Dr Miller is an experienced retired Mayo clinic trained physician who practiced Internal Medicine and Rheumatology in San Antonio for 40 years and worked as clinical faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Centre as Full Professor.   This short and informative 4-part series is certainly a worthwhile watch.

He became interested in Lyme disease after his daughter in law was diagnosed with MS/ALS at the age of 43 and as he started to ask questions and connect the dots - he started to dig further into the clinical and scientific literature.  He discovered that she was actually suffering from Lyme disease even though her Lyme test was reported as negative.  He delves into the issues surrounding the current Lyme testing - used both in the US and in Canada - which is a two step process and is failing many patients resulting in misdiagnosis. 

The first step is an ELISA test - if this test is negative, the second test isn't done and the patient is declared to be negative.   Dr Miller reviews the reasons why the Lyme testing is inadequate and more comprehensive testing needs to be done with an understanding of how to properly interpret the findings.   He has become vocal in speaking out and educating other doctors and frontline practitioners about what he discovered as a means of preventing other patients from being misdiagnosed.


Dr. Miller is an amazing physician with a desire to reach out and help as many others as possible - which indeed is what we all must do when we discover important truths that have the potential to impact the lives and futures of many.

My daughter was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease within the past five years. She has struggled to find practitioners who are Lyme literate in The San Francisco Bay area I look forward to learning as much as I can about this insidious disease.
Thank you

thank you for all your videos and information. If you have the Birrelia Lyme disease and your neurologist has also diagnosed you with ALS can you cure the ALS diagnosis? Can you cure the Lyme which can cure ALS? What are your reccomendations and what is the long term outcome for this patient?

Would lymes disease show up, automatically, in a spinal tap?

Thank you,

Sadly not necessarily as according to https://www.columbia-lyme.org/diagnosis from which the following statement is excerpted... "Unfortunately culturing Lyme disease is nearly impossible after the initial infection because the spirochete doesn't stay in the blood or spinal fluid very long.".

Hi,
Please allow me a moment to introduce myself briefly. I am in the late stages of Lyme disease and a mother to a little girl who is also ill. I am a patient member of the Canadian Lyme Disease Researcher Network and am advocating for a new Lyme test in Canada.
I have written to numerous members of Parliament imploring Health Canada to consider new testing method for Lyme in Canada. As expected, the reply is a silent one. I am hoping that you might support my plea for a better Lyme test. I do believe that there is a wonderful opportunity to provide better healthcare for Lyme patients of all ages, especially children. I thank you for everything that you have done and hope to stand in solidarity for a better future for all.

If you're open to alternative approaches, Dr. Marty Ross treats people.
Others have used a silver solution with an appliance that Edgar Cayce invented: https://cayce.com/?s=lyme There is a die-off so go slow. Also carnivora that Dr. Robert Rowen recommends.

Thank you for your information on Lyme disease. My husband has had Lyme 3 times. When recently tested, we were told he continues to have latent Lyme disease and no medication can change it. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease several years ago that has affected his walking, balance, and memory. I was hoping you could direct me to a doctor/hospital in Massachusetts that could give him the medication he needs to rid himself of the Lyme disease and hopefully the Parkinson's.

Dr. Jean Barry in Concord, MA is your best bet. Alternatively, you can go to Dr. Steven Phillips in CT. There are not many doctors in New England who are willing to treat chronic Lyme, as academic institutions follow antiquated guidelines. You will have to find a lyme literate doctor (we call them LLMDs) operating in a private practice, where they are free to treat this "contested" disease.

Hi Ali- How did Biologix work out?

Sarah- The experience was pretty phenomenal, but I can’t say that we’ve seen immediate results. We’ve only been home for three weeks, so not sure how long we should be patient. Everything they did at The Center had to do with resetting the immune system and detoxification, which makes sense with mitochondrial dysfunction.

Thank you Dr Miller for your offer to speak to my husband’s doctor. He choose not to but did another Lyme test. Then suggested an infectious disease doctor.
She canceled our appointment because wants to speak to my husband’s neurologist.
In the meantime we are wasting time.
We live outside of Boston and are willing to go anywhere to seek help.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you

My brother is diagnosed with ALS… I’m certain he’s borrelia. How do we get our physician in touch with you Dr. Miller?

You might want to read the book, "Hope Springs Eternal" by David Atkinson. I was lucky enough to meet him and used the same remedies for MD.

Please reach out and speak with me if you would like validation of what Dr. Miller has published. My brother age 45 was diagnosed with ALS by two renowned neurology centers and was told to “accept it”. Like Miller, we did not accept this as a family and I dug deeper as someone who is been in diagnostics my whole career. Sure enough we got positive results from a vibrant labs test kit after getting a deep tissue lymphatic massage. He has three different versions of borrelia. I would like to share my story and help as many people as I can now that we know he is treatable. Thank you to Dr. Miller and Dr. Tedone for the publications surrounding inaccurate testing happening in western med neurology centers causing thousands of misdiagnosis. My email is [email protected]

My MIL was diagnosed with Bulbar onset ALS today. But a month ago was tested and was positive for the Birrelia Lyme Disease. Does she possibly not have ALS? Can this be reversed or can she be healed of the ALS diagnosis ?

Research Deanna's Protocol – Supplement invented by the father of a patient with ALS. Prevents cell death; restores cell energy. Halted her ALS progression while she then began a successful treatment for tick-born infection.

Hi Ali! I am interested in what you have learned and going to email you. Thank you for sharing. My dad was recently told he has ALS from a well known institution but we are choosing to fight as well. He has tested positive for 3 bands of Lyme and now we are looking for next steps. Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you, Dr. Miller. I happened upon your 4 teaching videos on LymeHope and have passed them on to the Highland Springs Medical Center here at Highland Springs Retirement Community in Dallas TX. These videos are God-inspired for physicians who are wise enough to heed them.
You correctly diagnosed me in November of 1976 with “psoriatic” arthritis before it had that name. I was your patient until you retired. You taught me how to be a good patient and set the highest bar for what I expect in a physician. Thank you.

After battling Meniere's disease and Parkinson's disease for five years, I finally found lasting relief through the natural program at EarthCureHerbalClinic.com. My symptoms; vertigo, tinnitus, ear fullness, hearing loss, tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and balance issues have all been completely reversed. I’m beyond grateful to have my life back.
