In July 1995 I got bitten by a
tick and showed Borrelia positive. My aches: arthralgia, extreme exhaustion,
strong heart aches, blackouts and dizziness. I got Rocephin infusions for
21 days. A final blood examination, however, did not take place - seemingly
due to cost saving measures.
My pains got worse. Anyway, the case seemed clear to my doctor: it might be
a different illness. The Borreliosis (lyme-disease) at any rate was cured.
This statement represented the end of my treatment. Soon afterwards, however,
I was not able anymore to sit still; my brainwaves were according to the neurologist
“not normal anymore but like of an 18-year-old”, I had headaches
and upon lying down I had strong numb feelings that woke me up at night. In
particular, the severe fatigue, that I was hardly able to go up stairs! My
ears were plugged. My vision was impaired and I suffered from nausea. Only
quietness brought some relief. I felt like an old woman at the age of 33 already.
My condition got worse from one week to the next. Having a blood pressure
of 70/40 at the doctor’s place I had to be lifted up from the ergometer
despite low wattage. Then the doctor send me home comforting me by saying:
„Take a good rest“. As if I had not done this before!
Im November 1995 I went to a traditional healer. Since medicaments cost a
lot regarding alternative medicine he treated me one time a month according
to a holistic therapy: neural therapy, homeophaty, vitamins, minerals, cellular
therapy, amalgam detoxification, doss disturbances, colonization, etc. A blood-crystal-analysis
resulted in a heavy general acidity with oxygen deficiency as well as a chronic
virus strain. After many healing crisises my condition improved constantly
until March 1996. To save costs I asked the doctor to at least prescribe some
of the medicaments which the holistic healer had prescribed.
In April 1996 I had another relapse.
I froze severely, suffered from chronic fatigue, pain in the heart region,
memory loss. My forearms and lower legs were numb for several days. The doctor
was helpless and did not do anything about it. In May 1996 I collapsed at
the doctor’s place and thereupon the general practioner (doctor for
internal medicin, allergologyst) discontinued my treatment. My arms and legs
got numb. I could not remember much anymore, felt dizzy and I lived in great
fear. Since the traditional healer feared that I might suffer from heart failure
he treated me with heart extract and did a therapy according to Dr. Koch with
Carbonylgroups and Rhodizin. This helped me back up again.
Following my urge I was examined in hospital: my lungs were checked as well
as my upper abdomen, cardiologigal examinations, whole neurological examinations
including magnetic resonance imaging! My family doctor told me after each
result that he received that I was orgaincally healthy!
I toiled myself through life. In October 1996 I had again the symptoms which
I had in early summer: muscle cramps. In May 1997 followed – probably
due to my weak immune system – a suppurative frontal sinusitis.
Beginning October 1997 I suffered more aches: heavy heart aches, pressure
and burning in the chest along with pseudo asthma attacks, severe muscle pain,
especially the large joints, however, my hands and upper arms as well, strong
stomach aches and out of the right mammary gland came yellow liquid. I was
so exhausted that I almost could not go up stairs in my appartment and I was
not even able anylonger to brush my teeth thouroughly. Often I was dizzy and
sometimes I fainted for a short while. Due to special personal reasons however,
I do not receive any sick pay and thus I trudged to work as I did not have
the financial means to stay at home.
Mid December 1997 I was finally written sick as I could not work anymore.
I had fever attacks of up to 40 degrees Celcius and thus I was pretty on the
ropes. A home help which was partly paid by the AOK (health insurance company)
took the whole day care of my household along with two children.
My family doctor and his wife (alternative practitioner) did not want to believe
that this was another Borreliosis stroke. According to the examination results
I was healthy. Although I did not do anything anymore anyways they considered
my symptoms “mere exhaustion” which did not have to be treated.
Simply my severe shortages of breath, which were a by-product of my increasing
heart weakness according to the traditional healer, were treated by them by
means of a spray that expanded the bronchi.
Thereupon the traditional healer treated me by stimulating my immune system
due to the consequences of a borrelia infection. Thus things went better again:
blood pressure RR 121/81, pulse 82. Fever went down and breathlessness diminished.
But again milk-like liquid came out of my breast – a reknown sign for
Borreliosis, as I know today.
By accident, finally, I got the address of a renowned Borreliose specialist.
He confirmed Borreliose in my blood acutely. Intended standard therapie: for
at least half a year Rocephin treatment.
However, I could’t hardly bear the side effects of this antibiotic:
diarrhea, pruritus, pain in my veins. Already on the 9th day I got suddenly
a skin rash as big as a hand which itched tremendously. My foot soles swell
up so I could not walk anymore. On the way to the doctor I suffered from breathlessness.
Due to the acute allergy attack I got Cortison at the doctor’s place
right away.
Thus the Borreliosis specialist prescribed another antibiotic. Already Rocephin
has been rated unobstrusive in compatibility tests so that another antibiotic
with the same rating could not exclude the risk of an anaphylactic schock.
Thus, following the doctor’s adivse, I was to carry an emergency set
with me in the occasioin of an anaphylactic schock. Well, who was supposed
to give me shoots e. g. on the streets or in my appartment, when I was alone
with my small childeren?
My family doctor, however, thought that the continuation of the antibiotic
therapy would be perilous under these circumstances and he refused to take
over responibility. He wrote this to the AOK. In doing so his therapy was
finished.
Now I hoped that the AOK would replace the costs of the alternative medicaments
if a doctor would prescribe them for me, however, I did not have such a doctor
at that time. It is well known that doctor’s do not like to be the “gofer“
of an alternative practitioner since usually the interest of the patient is
not as important as of the person carrying out the treatment.
After this the alternative practitioner treated me 2 times weekly with so
called biomoneculare medicin. Again, I felt better. Furthermore I went to
a physiotherapist (craniosacral osteopathy) and to a kinesiologist. The latter
stated I was allergic to dental gold and animal protein. Mr. M. confirmed
this diagnosis. Thereupon I got a replacement for dental gold, namely cement
and I changed my diet radically.
Then the AOK send me to their medical examiner. He declared, however, Borrelioses
was not a disease. He himself tested Borrelia positiv and had no pains or
anything like that. Therefore according to his mind I was a fancied sick –
ready for a psychosomatic treatment.
Since my family doctor did not treat me anymore I changed doctors and went
to a doctor for general medicin. He assured to me he would notify AOK that
treatment following school medicin was finished and I would need some alternative
medical treatment. He prescribed the medicaments on a privat prescribtion.
Upon presenting these to the AOK, they refused payment.
As I got to know later the doctor
had really written the letter to the AOK, in which he stated correspondingly
that an alternative practioner did some treatment with Ney-Thymun k (company
Vitorgan) and thus he would make a private prescribtion of this medicament
since I demanded him to do so. It was clear that the AOK thereupon refused
to take over the costs. Months later the AOK told me orally that this medicament
was according to the RED LIST not a specific one for treating Borrliose (lyme-disease).
Upon my search for paid help I finally found the address of an approved Swiss
spezial hospital for alternative medicin where I largely experienced some
kind of treatment which may be compared to the one I had received from the
alternative practitioner and which I was to pay for myself. The AOK refused
to meet the costs since the hospital was abroad. Instead I got approval by
the AOK to stay in a hospital with maximum care. However, why? Just to make
all kinds of tests again – for daily rates amounting from 700,00 to
1.000,00 DM and to ascertain my allergy toward antibiotics?
Afterwards, the holistic healer helped me back upon my feet – while
having setbacks – so I could at least start work again in July 1998
despite troubles. Furthermore I went to a kinesiologyst and to an osteopath.
Starting August 1998 I did not have any treatments for two months. I simply
could not afford it anymore! Thus my condition got worse and worse. Against
my breathlessness I got Strophantin shots which really helped when the condition
was serious.
Since Sept. 1998 the holistic practitioner has been giving me shots like NeyThymun
k SOL, Cor Uvocal, Hepa Uvocal, Splen Uvocal, Carbonylgruppen and Rhodizin
and in particular he has treated me homeopathicly. Already 2 hours after the
fist treatment I did feel much better. The recovery lasted at first about
1 week and this treatment was continued weekly, until I could not afford weekly
treatment anymore for medication was too expensive.
While I was ill I took all medical advise into consideration. Daily I did
gymnastics and meditated as well. Due to changing my diet I lost 27 kilos.
Again and again I went to the AOK. On the phone the person in charge of the
AOK finally explained to me that the doctor who has treated me was asked twice
by mail whether according to his mind I was finished with general and traditional
school medicament treatment. Then all medicaments would be paid. The doctor,
however, did not answer.
The doctor on the other hand said that the question of cost take over is being
clarified presently in a law suit. The decision should be made beginning of
January 1999. The holistic paractioner told me, however, that this was already
decided upon 1979 by the Federal Social Court. Thereupon the doctor told me
another legal suit was taking place as to this issue and was pending with
a court. According to a phone conversation with the AOK this was not true,
but the doctor obviously wanted to put me off until the first quarter of 1999,
in order not to be taken into recourse by the AOK.
The reasons for this behaviour – which did not differ much from the
previous doctor – were pretty clear after a phone conversation with
his wife. I talked to her after having talked to the AOK on the phone and
I was pretty angry and thus I asked that he would finally write out the attestation
and then prescribe at the costs of the health insurer. Her baneful answer
was: “Well, do you really think we pay for your medicaments”?
Since one month now I have been feeling better and better due to the weekly
treatment of the holistic healer. The illness seems to be overcome slowly.
I regained about two thirds of my previous strenght and I am fully able to
work again.

Index
of all articles of W.-A.Melhorn - http://www.melhorn.de/medizin.htm
With the approval of the patient
I comment on her report as follows:
1. First accretion dated January 5th 1999:
The health insurance at fist regretted not to be able to pay for the therapy,
since the general practitioner who was asked to make a statement, told her
in writing that he only prescribed the medicament 29 K SOl ( Fa. Vitorgan)
on a private prescription since Mrs. Frindt-Schubert had asked him to do so.
Thereupon the health insurance claimed: according to the RED LIST this medicament
was not in particular approved for treating lyme-disease and is according
to the list not repayable.
Actually this is an effective medicament to increase the efficiency of the
body’s immune system – thus especially for the indication stated
here!
The general practitioner thus only blocked by such statements so he would
not taken into responsibility by the health insurer. The AOK, however, felt
comfortable with a behaviour like this to be able to refuse. The patient,
however, ends on the deathbed.
2. Accreation dated April 1st 1999:
In an appeal against the branch office of the AOK in Baden-Württemberg
the patient referred to her report in the internet and the AOK visited the
site. Afterwards, things were settled without any problems, for the AOK ascertained
that a lot went wrong in this case. Following a 2.5 hour talk in the appartment
of the patient the AOK transmitted an amount of 11.083,00 DM. Further medicament
costs have been taken over, whenever a doctor again prescribed the medicaments
I suggested on a private prescription.
This is a result that I also hope for other patients and I hope the above
report „arms“ the patients of colleagues also in this direction.
Especially I would like to encourage the respecitve patient not to give in
to the apparant huge insurances. Seldom it only is bad intention, so that
such a thing sometimes is indefinitely difficult.
With the Barmer Ersatzkasse (health insurance company) I made similar similar
experiences; however, only until a Social Court Procedure. At any rate, legal
proceedings seem to be the most meaningful method to meet such problems, polemization
does not help. „Red-tape-machineries“ like insurances are finally
nothing but victims of their own immovability, putting paragraphs above humanity
– and right there is something to be done, to bring back the individual
case onto the legal basis again.
Another hint for (self) therapists:
Whosoever fights borrelia
should never forget the Borrelia Nosode. I recommend the D 200, every 2 hours
1 of them, until the main aches are over. Thereafter not so often anymore.
Further recommendations regarding self-treatment are written below and in
the accompanying Borreliosis articles.
3. Accretion dated August 3rd, 1999:
The patient is fully back to work. Since she is a teacher she is very busy
at the moment as the school ends in summer, as most of all teachers. Nevertheless,
she can cope with her work. She hardly has any setbacks. When she fainted
a while ago, it was ascertained, that she sweated a lot the day before in
the heat of the summer and thus had an electrolyt-shortage, which could be
balanced by medicaments. Besides this she daily takes 2 x 8 Strodival mr-capsules
to strenghten the heart. Furthermore, whenever she had to sit still for a
while, e.g. when driving a car, she had severe arthralgia, which, however,
could be balanced homeopathically. To sum it up, the patient now is in a stable
livable condition.
4. Accretion dated August 5th 2000:
Mrs. Frindt-Schubert is fully capable to work and mainly free of troubles.
Only seldom the earlier symptoms start over again, and if they do, they are
easy to be treated therapeutically.
5. Accretion
dated April 25th 2001:
Some Borreliosis patient told me that in his self-help group the desperate
patients are being told by their therapeuts to ease their pains or to even
heal their borreliosis by means of colloidal silver in the primary substance
and by means of dosises of up to 150ml a day. He could not report about any
success, since these patients broke off contact to the group.
As an alternative practitioner I would like to emphatically warn about such
a therapeutic procedure. Silver (Argentum metallicum) is a dangerous nerve
toxin. It is right indeed that it prohibits the reproduction of bacteria or
kills them, respectively (Mezger "Gesichtete Homöopathische Arzneimittellehre",
4th issue,1977S.207), however, this may be attained already by means of a
dilution of 1: 100 000, which corresponds to a 6th and 7th decimal squaring.
METZGER further reports that one used colloidal silver solutions (Collargo)
to combat a string of infectious diseases, however, SCHADE points out that
the efficiency of silver lies in the ocidation accelleration, to which all
toxins are sensitive. METZGER thus concludes, that the anti-toxic effect of
silver is not really a silver related effect, but counts for all heavy metals.
Treatment of the consequences of lyme-disease thus surely is the wrong way,
since almost always the bacteria have been killed already – which does
not ease treatment. B, however, explains the frequent inefficiency of anew
antibacterial treatment. At any rate not the anti-toxic efficiency of silver
is at issue, but it is “merely” the crucial point to boost the
immune system so it may handle the side effects of lyme-disease.
Therefore please: Hands off from such a (according to my mind) dangerous
as well as useless therapy by means of colloidal silver! I think
you harm yourself more as that you may benefit from it individually!
6. Acretion dated September 12th 2005
Mrs. Frindt-Schubert is again fully engaged in family life and work; as to Borreliosis she is trouble-free.
