Patients Medical


Traditional, Natural and Homeopathy cures
abandoned after the Flexner Report of 1910


Early recognition of infection as a source of
arthritis
 Dental and bowel sources suspected
 Antibiotics were used and abandoned with the
discovery of Cortisone


Surgical and chemical techniques to destroy
nerves and brain tissue to control pain are still
being attempted


 Wider use of local anesthetic injections and
blocks for pain
 Discovery of the steroid drug/hormone
Cortisone, hailed as wonder drug for arthritis
 Treatment of President John F. Kennedy with
Cortisone and local anesthetics became
today’s Gold Standard


Inflammation reduces blood flow,
leading to damage and pain treated with steroids.

Injury

Inflammation cortisone blocks here

Swelling

Reduced blood flow

Tissue asphyxiation

Nerve damage Chronic Pain

1. Local anesthetic and steroids for any form of
pain
2. When that treatment failed, destruction of
nerves with surgery, chemicals, microwaves
or freezing
3. Long term drug (narcotic) maintenance as
the FINAL SOLUTION


What is widely accepted now
 The use of steroid medications is not supported by any long
term studies; it provides short term help on occasion only
 Local anesthesia injections have only benefited a small
percentage of patients
 Destruction of nerve tissue only gives temporary relief at
best
 An increasing number of patients fail and are now
maintained on long term narcotic management
 Insurance companies are aware of the poor prognosis and
have been denying payment for these treatments


• Why can’t we control inflammation?
• Why don’t steroids help?
• Why does inflammation always return?
• Why does nerve destruction only give temporary relief?
• Why does chronic pain travel and grow?
• Why do chronic pain patients need more and stronger
pain medications?
• Why don’t chronic pain patients just get better?
• Why don’t they JUST HEAL instead of getting worse?


 Why are these mainstream treatments
useless for so many patients?
 Could these treatments be preventing
healing?
 Could Steroids be making things worse?
 Could the need for stronger pain drugs be
addiction? Or could that be because the pain
is GETTING WORSE!?


There was something missing from the
picture, but I didn’t know what it was.


In 1993 my NJ chronic pain patient went to an alternative doctor
in NYC and got treated with intravenous hydrogen peroxide.
She had pain relief! I investigated, and asked WHY?

How could a 1920 vintage infection treatment for influenza
pneumonia make the chronic pain in her bladder go away?

The word got around. Soon my whole chronic pain practice
wanted this treatment. I treated them.


Here is what happened next:


 57 patients received a total of 503 (mean 9)
IV drips of 250mls of .03% H2O2 for non-
malignant intractable pain
 66% had significant + improvement
 86% reduced their pain medication
 96% wanted another infusion

(Presented at a doctors conference in 1999)


Classic Infection Signs!
 Cultivable discharges from old surgical scars
and elsewhere
 Fever and chills – Herxheimer Rx (detox)
 Sinus and pulmonary drainage
 Purulent urine
 Overall clinical improvement

(Presented at a doctors conference in 1999)

Alternative Doctors treating Chronic Pain with
 Minocycline
 Doxycycline and other antibiotics
 Ozone
 Ultraviolet Therapy

all reported similar
clinical patient reactions!

Infection causes a
chronic inflammation
and thereby sustains
chronic painful
conditions.

(Presented at a doctors
conference in 1999)

Recognizes that
 Mainstream/conventional treatments are not
effective for many patients
 Chronic Pain is caused by an injury or lesion
that cannot heal usually because of infection
in the tissues


Injury

Inflammation cortisone blocks (allows infection)

Swelling

Reduced blood flow
Infections attack!
Tissue asphyxiation

Nerve damage Chronic Pain

 Chronic pain is generated by damaged tissue that is
not recovering and/or healing
 Restoring the tissues to health will make them heal
and stop hurting
 Healthy tissue cannot exist in the presence of
infections
 Anything that reduces infection will reduce
inflammation, allow healing, treat and eventually
eliminate pain
 The opposite is also true: Favoring infection will
increase pain.

 Is my chronic pain that simple?
 What kinds of germs would do this?
 Where did they come from?
 Why didn’t my body get rid of them?
 Isn’t the inside of my body sterile?
 How did these germs get into my painful areas?
 Am I doing something that caused this infection?
 Why didn’t my antibiotics prevent or clear
infections?
 Are there exceptions to this concept?


 Common germs exist in varied forms
 Example: Spores
 Your body has reservoirs of germs
 Where? Teeth, bowel, vagina, prostate
 These germs can travel through your body
 Through blood, lymphatics, meridians
 Why do these germs stay in inflamed areas?
 Because they don’t like oxygen
 Could my immune system be suppressed or
overwhelmed?
 Yes and Yes.

 I was given an epidural for back pain. Will that
make me worse? My brother had no problems.
 Are steroids (Cortisone) always a bad idea?
 How could chronic pain from my herniated
disc be from infection?
 Could smoking make my pain worse?
 Could pain medication make the infection
worse?


 First developed 20 years ago
 Continuously refined and expanded
 No size fits all


1. Clear the Body of Infections
 Natural and pharmaceutical anti-infectives
 Oxidative therapies
▪ Peroxide
▪ Ozone
▪ Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation
▪ Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
▪ Antibiotics and Antifungals
▪ Supplements – Oral and IV


2. Eliminate Reservoirs Where Infections Hide
 Dental Sources: all root canals are a source
 Bowel Sources
 Sinus Areas
 Fungal Locations
 Others


3. Support the Body’s Own Immune System
 Avoid suppressing drugs and activities
▪ Stop smoking
▪ Reduce or eliminate pain medications
▪ Stop all anti-inflammatory hormone drugs
▪ Cortisone
▪ DMARDs (Embril)
▪ Improve Lifestyle and Nutrition


4. Patient Management
 Patient education of expectations
 Detoxification reactions
 Patient-specific clinical protocol navigation
 Consultations and education of other required
medical consultants
 Coping with hostile social environment for healing
 Weaning the patient to home self care
