PREFACE

www.diseasesolutions.net/ is a link I suggest taking if you are wanting to get products for your symptoms related to what is presented at this topic. 

Just after I created this topic in 2015, I met the creator of Dis-Ease Solutions in the group Steve had then. She succeeded later in creating things that took the crazy-making symptoms down.

I ENJOY the aromas, the sensations of the skin or hair. O'Rio improved from several products I used on him. I get a % of sales if you arrive via this link, And several products  I helped modify or inspired her to create! Well, O'Rio had a big part in some!

People who have an interest in, or self-identify with, conditions identified 'from A to Z' (due to being formally diagnosed or not) will perhaps want to learn about a man named Steve, who I encountered on Facebook in the summer of 2014.  Let me forewarn you: this information resonates with people more or less, and those who fall on the 'more' side have typically had significant health ramifications with self or loved ones and have usually run the gamut of mainstream, organized medicine and they're looking for solutions 'outside the box'. Often, they've run the gamut outside the box, and things helped, or they helped for a while, and they either reverted to having problems or just still aren't as well as they wish to be and believe they can be. 

Editing in April 17, 2016 - A woman in Steve's group states what restaurant (chain) she works at, and has a photo of her hand, showing what look like paper cuts but between joints, not at the tips.  Someone else in the group comments hers occur sometimes when she isn't even out of bed, nor preparing food or doing anything and will have marks like that which have appeared 'from nowhere'.  

Steve's answer: "It's been referred to as a mite furrow, the mite cuts across the skin and goes deeper as the furrow extends, at end of furrow should be a mite. My pic shows a mite which is associated with morgs, lyme, other diseases, it comes from our oceans, it is a farmer of microbes normally found in ocean sediments."

From April 9, 2016: Steve makes this great summary statement: 

 

All water needs to checked microscopically, RO helps but doesn't remove the core pathogen. Ive explained this to ____ U. Researchers, so they know about water issues. Why is nothing being done to provide potable water to everyone? It may not be currently possible.  Security is responding acoordingly, we too must accept the realities of this pathogen, we cannot focus upon the actions of others, our responsibility is to ourselves, our loved ones which listen, those around us that suffer and ask for help, time is not on our side, wasting any could cost many lives. This pathogenic pocess can now be found by me in all forms of life, it injects it's genetics laterally, takes on the role of soldiers within a trojan horse. What we have been observing as normal species are not normal, lichens on trees are normally on trees but when observed microscopically show thepathogens hidden deep within their normal structure. Mold shows the same genetic changes or worse, it's not fungi, it's a "polymorph", Of sorts, looks the same but has subtle differences. Moss shows these genetic changes, yet doesn't show stress but instead it can be viewed as improved, almost neon like in appearance, it has replaced grass in most lawns here, but trees are dying rapidly from the parasitization, the parasites in lichens enter into the phloem where liquids are present, mycelial like growth, or more like rhizoids grow beneath the bark, tree dies from a lack of nutrients, with the parasite observed inside locust trees, i can see that a section dies out, then above this section tree dies, decomposes, breaks off, this is a danger in the forest. Only a few species seem to not be affected, slick bark trees are holding their own.

 

There is, in 2015, a new one page version of THE PROTOCOL, which should only be used after you've thoroughly learned all about the things you'd be taking and gotten into his group where you can be assisted by whatever people are there at the time facilitating the group process.  If you wish to have me guide you through the learning, please contact me (on Facebook, Mardy Ross is easy to find, send me a message don't just put in a friend request.  Email me, phone me.... that's on the ABOUT TAB, or at the blog tab, the pinned post is about my being Mardy Poppins.  Let me pop into your computer or phone or home and help guide you a bit.  

 © 2016 Steve's Images, Steve Beddingfield

 You will see, further down, a 2015 version of this image which was created by a gal who was assisting Steve in 2015 with getting things pulled together so that others could learn in an easier manner.  You'll see further down how there was, in April of 2015, a parting of the ways.  I called it "the divorce", further down.  

If you're going to 'get into this information', I suggest you understand the history of how this has and is still evolving, get a sense of who Steve is and what he's about.  This is NOT information like you'll find at most websites where it's built upon what comes out of organizations who have funding to a signficant level.  It's what we've got to go on.  I personally felt it was relevant enough to create a topic about.  

Editing in May 23, 2016, what I've also added at the thread on Lumigrate titled about THE Stuff: 

 

RE-editing again about two months later, May 23, 2016, to make this more apparent about where I encountered this information, and what the consensus is among people I know online who have also studied with 'the teacher', Steve Beddingfield.  I don't know a person who got into "Steve's Images" on Facebook who wasn't perplexed by Steve's behavior if you talked to them privately.

I was in the group for eight months before Steve made time to talk to me individually by phone, and he gave me a lot of time over the next few months to learn the information and include it at Lumigrate.  I don't know a person who I've communicated with privately, the ones perplexed by the overall about Steve, who is NOT VERY APPRECIATIVE of the opportunity they had when finding him and his information to learn.  Many kept a distance, lurking in his Facebook group to keep up on any new developments.  

I chose to keep giving input in the group while he was replacing the 'leaders' who were to 'divorce' in April of 2015, leaving a gap in competence with advisement in my opinon.  If I'm having content on Lumigrate, I want people to be able to be properly supported if they're needing help.  So I'm going to say this loud and clear at this point in the topic, adding in up near the top so it cannot be missed.  Contact me if you find this information and want to learn more about it.  There are too many wonky things that occur in Steve's Images to ONLY go there to learn.  I'm not saying don't go there, just don't go there without having someone who understands the history and wonky-ness also guiding you.  

There was another 'housecleaning' this year, this time May (2016) which apparently stemmed from Steve's learning of a group of us who'd moved on and were discussing many other things related to strategies to reverse symptoms in addition to using reishi and fenbendazole potentially, which is what his protocol is 'based in'.  Considering the length and depth of interaction I had with Steve, it would seem appropriate to contact me privately if he learned of something that he thought was inappropriate on my part, or offensive.  

But that is not how it was handled, what occurred was unfriending, removing from Steve's Images group, so now if anyone going there from Lumigrate is in the group, I'm not able to see the threads and shore up anything that's not said accurately.  He has had one administrator who took a lead early on after finding the group, allegedly after finding Lumigrate's coverage of it, who has had enough time now that she's providing accurate advise consistently.  

But this type of unprofessional, unkind, immature behavior is NOT what I want YOUsers of Lumigrate to be exposed to! It's up to YOU, go there if you wish, but I would prefer people not get into the 'spin cycle' that everyone I've mentored so far through his group have had go on.  Just trying to figure out why he doesn't answer questions directly, makes it more confusing than it needs to be -- there's not a person who doesn't wonder 'what is up with this' and thing 'something isn't adding up'.  Having said that, I remind of what I'd said, above: Everyone who's learning the information has been appreciative of it, when they move on, sometimes in disgust with the behaviors and quandries.  

This is not an indictment of anyone helping Steve, but of Steve for not having people really knowledgeable about things before admins are allowed to give advise.  This latest admin was giving better advise with each week in the group than I would have been giving with that amount of time.  This is not the easiest information to learn enough to teach others and guide others with questions.  However, there appears to have been lack of wisdom of what she found out by being included in another group and relating that to Steve.  He somehow had the impression that I had the group he learned of -- I'm not even an administrator nor a very robust contributor.  That or he knew the truth and lied and told someone to defame my character and knew otherwise. A previous administrator, who was running his group when I tuned in, has had similar behaviors in the last six months that are just not things you encounter when dealing with professionals who have their heads and ethics straight.  Hence my concern for YOUsers of Lumigrate.  

I had verbalized recently in Steve's Images that I was about to drop back out of participation so much, so this is not an upsetting thing to me for my sake, aside from I would have liked to have kept up on new developments.  However, when Steve said something to the extend of why I'd put 'crap' like info about chemtrails on my website, I would answer that.  When he stated that the 'shooter at Sandy Hook' was an example of someone with certain issues, I suggested saying 'alleged shooter', because of the numbers of people who believe it's a false flag event.  This has to make one wonder if Steve is part of disinformation dissemination on the part of a program or not.  

So find me on Facebook (Mardy Ross, very easy to find), go to the About tab and look at other contact information that's updated there, or the blog tab, the pinned blog about Mardy Poppins is also updated.  (The Contact Us I have been able to change once in the past but now cannot see how to update, so it's not necessarily correct, I hope in the future to solve that and maybe the contact us will be correct, but at the time of this edit it is not.)

I ask people who recognize that providing this information has been a full time endeavor, who are able, be willing to help in return.  (I utilized extensive personal funds to have Lumigrate become part of the Internet, independent, truth information, and to continue "on the path" continuing to stay abreast.  I ask anyone who can to help by giving to me, and in return, if you want, you'll get individualized information, assistance, and support from me. And if you just wish to think of it as 'giving like a donation', that's great too!)

PayPal is the primary means at this time.  

PayPal link is: paypal.me/MardyRoss (or you can use my name or phone number, above, too)

Lumigrate's cornerstone and foundation is about YOU, the consumer, taking it upon yourself to get educated, decide what you think is right, take responsibility for that, and then taking action.  Therefore I've created other topics on Lumigrate since this one (which I'm editing on May 5, 2016 in this area) which utilize what you can learn here on this thread. But I make it very clear it's upon YOU to learn this enough to be safe with it, to know how to get support and assistance from him and his group (or me, but I work selectively and on a limited basis with criteria to be met).  If I did not take the step to include what Steve was teaching, I felt my YOUsers would be missing something that potentially could be the next best thing for them in their journey back towards wellness.  And I've taken it upon myself to do that process before trying the protocol.  I had the information on Lumigrate before I tried it, though.

 I gave my input when I got underway to Steve and his helpers, and what you see today with the 2016 version of the protocol has my input taken into consideration plus the input and experiences of many others.  I was incredibly impressed with the symptoms I recognized as symptoms reversing, and things I'd not even thought of as connected to my long term problems (such as things on my skin) reversing as well. "I thought those were age spots", in other words.  No, Steve'll have a different take on many, many things.  AND that take will be different as HE keeps progressing in his knowledge and experience. 

 

From April 18, 2016, a relative new member had one of the best all around summaries I've seen, and in a succinct way.  "

I'm very sorry to hear how much you've suffered (groupmate name, removed). I went down the phycho diagnosis too and just weened off anti anxiety drugs, it took me a year smile emoticon I think most of us have a concoction of bacteria/viruses/parasites/metals which then cause deficiencies and it's hardly ever a single bug that knocks us down. I trust this protocol can help, without asking what exactly it's targeting, I hope it can decrease the load of invaders and strengthen the body!"  

What the writer, immediately above ^, had been referring to was this from a very long-term follower of Steve's who'd given a summary statement of his history, and his understanding / opinion.  "We have to consider that the Morgellons parasite is not lyme, but rather feeds off/ depends on borrelia bacteria. I've felt the organism triggered by (facial ping and shed) the cough of those with a common cold enough times to be sure of the effect. I now can barely catch a cold, or get sick from suspect food, but I couldn't when I was fully morged out. Here's a similar concept proven in whipworm research:https://www.sciencenews.org/.../having-worms-can-be-good-gut"

and then also: "My lyme symptoms preceded my Morg symptoms by 7 years. To me the symptoms feel distinct, and I feel like I can distinguish between the two with some confidence. The first episode presented with super swollen lymph nodes, sore joints, jaw pain, rage, insomnia, hives with pale round centers. These symptoms followed a history of 2 dozen tick bites and working and playing every day in the woods of (a state on the East Coast of the USA). Diagnosis was anxiety disorder, Rx was SSRI and lorazepam PRN instead of antibiotics, lol. The second initiated with some arthritis and brain fog, but within a week or two it morphed to pure fiber, goo, and bizarre artifact production, plus 40 other symptoms that weren't all that Lymey (body producing electricity, screaming tinnitus, mutant hair production, etc). If I were to guess, the Lyme came from a bugbite lifestyle, the Morgs came from my well water. Igenex testing supports my suspicion - barely Lymey but definitely went through a borrelia infection at some point."

And there's a VERY NEW person on the thread, who is being very appropriate in comments, seeking input, and I lent a hand in 'my way', which in this instance was to usher the conversation along when a consumer isn't yet understanding why their nationalized health care, or insurance-based medicine -- mainstream, organized medicine -- isn't helping them, why they're getting very bad advise and being harmed by it in many cases, as the statement, above so clearly shows.  Often, these people talk about the tests that are available in some areas via privately paying providers who practice 'outside the box', and they're held up on not understanding why what works isn't being provided via 'the system' where they live.  It takes a lot of study.  It's worth it, though.  (And Steve Beddingfield was on this thread with his point of view that testing is giving money to things that are unnecessary for the patient, and feeding the industry that's harming overall .... just learn what he teaches, do what he suggests, is his mantra.  Naturally, it's up to YOU, the consumer, to do your homework on all this, decide what's right for you, and then do it.  There are many opinions -- this topic presents many, in a blow by blow way, in order to streamline your learning if this is of interest to you.  But this is a very long topic, a compilation at this point of over fifteen months of highlights I've collected.  

From April 21, 2016 -- Someone shared a story into his group about spraying over parts of the Pacific Northwest -- cities -- which I've seen on Facebook this week more than any other single thing (because I have a lot of chemtrail / geoengineering / real world politics aware FB friends).  Naturally, the majority of people know that the left behind evidence of these sprays have been analyzed by many people and they contain dozens of things, primarily some heavy metals we know are not good to get inside of us.  But Steve's theory, which he implies is based on information he has of an insider nature perhaps, is that what's taking down the environment --- plants, trees, people, other animals, bees, marine life --- is what he's found to be the core of his research findings and mesage.  The spraying done is the lesser of the evils, so to speak, buying time for more solutions, too.    This is his summary about that, which was well written today: "The ocean has given us algae that is full of new genes, this algae was likely locked into the Antarctic ice that melted, which continues to melt. Marine microbes precipitate secondary metals after decomposing iron. These same microbes precipitate heavy metals at bottom of ocean, huge mountains of metals form there."    (I'd add that I'd have written it as 'partially or greatly locked ....' and not imply all algae was once in the Antarctic because I think there are other sources.  Sometimes Steve cuts corners when he writes, or he's being elusive and wanting to be vague.)    (And then think about that could be mined, by those who would know about it.  The repercussions of THE Stuff is immense once you get to understanding it after studying.) (It is thought the BP issue around Alabama and Louisiana in recent years had to do with NOT what we were lead to believe....)(Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just tellin' ya, there's an alternative theory and information out there to support it if you want to look into it more.....) 

 

It is not for everyone. It does not have to be for YOU. It might be that someone you're learning on behalf of ... self, loved one -- including pets and other larger animals -- plants ..... are too far down a road of disease and treating things in a certain way to have it make sense to go down this road.  

It might be that portions of it will be what's right for someone/something --- such as cleaning up and providing only pure water and products using pure water.  It might mean that someone is going to benefit from red reishi which is a mainstay of the information below, but going into the FtsZ inhibitor aspect is too much.  YOU have to THOROUGHLY LEARN THIS, and then 'go from there'.  You know how to get ahold of me (About Tab is updated as is the pinned topmost blog at the blog tab) if you're wanting someone to assist you.  I will direct you to others or in the direction to find them if I'm not the right person to do that, in my opinion. 

One long-time follower who credits Steve as likely going down in history in the future as an eccentric, brilliant lay researcher who made a huge contribution to the fund of knowledge people will have available to them, and solutions to problems, said this: "I thank Steve and the good Lord in heaven for the life I lead now with a couple minor symptoms. But the protocol is just an early success in fighting Morgs; I'd still argue that there is a stage of the organism that isn't getting hit by fenben. I suspect it returns when conditions are ripe to hatch, not just reinfection..." and "I think it's important that sufferers aren't presented unrealistic expectations of 100% cure. Wymore and Savely have collectively treated well over a thousand morgies. They say only a few are completely symptom-free, and that it took many years of drugs and lifestyle changes to achieve."  

I post this information to show people the value of STUDY, and what I provide is just a suggestion of places to get started or continue.  There are so many facets out there to delve into, it's critical a person use their judgment in using their resources of time and energy (and money) in a sensible way.  Sometimes they have trouble with that because, catch 22, the brain's wiggy.  I can sometimes assist with that, so perhaps inquire (again, my info is on the About Tab, updated as I go along needing to update things as things change.) 

This information is so 'leading edge' that I was the first person to put it on the Internet, in such a direct way, Steve has said, aside from what Steve put in his Facebook group, of course, and on a WordPress site I found later but he'd not posted about until later in 2015.  

In July of 2015 the Search bar at Lumigrate stopped working at a time other 'truther' websites were actually not available on the Internet, being manipulated by those who control 'our Internet'.  Don't have any false beliefs that it's not 'regulated' and 'free'.  We're being allowed (or not) to see or say things. Some of the photographs that were showing and had been allowed in Steve's Facebook group later ended up as ?s below, and I HAVE LEFT THEM AS A REMINDER of this and how it's being disclosed to us in various ways, likely including Steve and his group being a component to reach the Facebook and Internet more sophisticated learners trying to figure out solutions for complex chronic conditions.  

So there, I've said THAT and gotten THAT out of the way.  I encourage YOUsers to proceed and interact, but to do so with these things in mind, learned, and under your belt.  It's a very tricky world out there right now.... and if you want to come through things with as little angst and pain or problems as possible, it's worth the investment of time to learn what's going on in the running of the world at this time.  

What I would term "THE Stuff", being connected to human health, will come out in mainstream sources and other websites, naturally, but due to the way I was going about things to create content on Lumigrate that was innovative, and to the best of my ability to ascertain, truthful, I encountered it and was first website to host it, apparently.

Not that everything else I've put on Lumigrate hasn't been truthful, it was just not the underlying root cause, and when you see the model of medicine for functional medicine we're following (the onion model represents it), I was simply pushing on to find the innovation, and the truth about what the root is.  If it can be found.  This potentially is 'it'.

I edit this topic to top load the more important things, the newer things, and mid November 2015, Steve had this well-written statement which I wanted to put here: 

There is healing and compassion within this group, it'll take some time for you to overcome years of an infestation growing within your body, but it can be done, I'll never ever forget the the day when my life was returned to me, it was worth all the struggles, the hard work and failed trials, but my success can and will be your success, just as it's supposed to be. For those of you seeking knowledge about this single disease syndrome, which is in reality, all diseases, you're once again, in the right place.

IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A MICROSCOPE THAT TAKES PICTURES AND IS USED VIA THE COMPUTER, as of MID NOVEMBER 2015, this is what Steve Beddingfield suggested to me when I inquired on behalf of a supporter of my work who was wanting to learn at the level of having microscopes involved.  

Handheld digital USB microscope cameras are the best for examination of samples, Dino Lite, Celestron, other supply these. $150.00 for decent, $500.00 for great pics, vids, you'll need soft touch capture switch for camera, 30 fps with video, make certain it can interface with laptop and that laptop an control functions.

0x to 500x is enough mag, any more isn't needed and is a pain to use. 200x is plenty and makes for best viewing, extra shrouds are nice, check the number and type of LED lights.

Editing this AGAIN in mid March 2016, I'll note this thread was exactly at 21, 500 reads just now as I came into edit NEW information in.  Just as what I had on Lumigrate before from local, regional, national and international experts on health and what overall is available to know and teach and learn, what Steve and his group have going on has changed too.  In summary, it went from a focus on 'cyanobacteria' (2014) to 'giant sulphur bacteria' (early 2015), to 'slime mold' (late 2015) and now in early 2016 the focus has changed again.  

Some resources about 'slime mold': were-weirdo-ediacarans-really-lichens-fungi-and-slime-molds,  Slime_mold, scientists-discover-slime-molds-in-southern-african-desert

March 18, 2016 Steve Beddinfield posted: " "Mold" in homes isn't mold, it isn't a fungi, it's an algae, micro algae, it has water mold genes, but it is algae, a protist, only appears as mold during reproductive stage. A Deadly poison.  .... Micro algae, phtoplankton, the causitive agent of Morgellon's disease, Lyme disease, hundreds of other disease syndroms."  Then he posted this photograph.  

Then someone posted photographs they'd apparently taken and then said this:

"I joined all these groups because everyone has different information and there's lots to learn from; however the mold that people are talking about is different from those molds . The "flood mold" is an algae that is extremely dangerous.  It's an extremist fungi I think --  part animal and part plant --  but is it is deadly and it sticks to the bottom of the cement in the house and all underneath the house, too."

Immediately following that, someone else commented: "Microsporidous is both a protozoa/parasite and mold/fungi that is highly contagious. Dr. Louis Weiss Bronx in New York has written tons of information on this. I went to see him. Very nice man, his wife has terminal cancer I believe. He even looked at my samples for me. They were skin cells, hair and he/we did see actual insects but believe they were just environmental contaminants ( I didn't dare tell him them came from me; I wasn't getting locked up)."

The person who commented, above (beginning with "I joined..." returned and said "I'm not sure, but I think actually it's two different kinds of algae. I'm sure there are many different species -- ones from the bottom of the ocean which is sediment from saltwater --  that's the dangerous one. I don't know about from freshwater, that could be different -- you're probably in the safe zone?" ..... my diagnosis is chemical sensitivity and mycotoxicosis. I do not use any other chemicals than ammonia --  it dissipates in a matter of seconds.

I wear a mask and a hazmat suit. My doctors suggest using it with cold water and 2 cups in the laundry to kill the mold and neutralize mycotoxins . Sometimes I still smell it when it comes out of the dryer, but at least I can wear it..... I also use a natural sign oil product called "Benefit". I like it a lot for cleaning it's called Decon 30, but I believe it creates mycotoxins as it kills the mold. And I certainly would never go near black mold. In fact, I don't go near any mold, I'm always dealing with spores' toxins. I have used the peroxide too, in a fogger in the house; it help clear the air but in the long run it didn't work for everything. Eventually we left the house and everything in it."

Steve gave a brief summary of cleaners: "Mean Green cleaner is one of the best, so is Purple Power cleaner. Pine oil, fenben spray, peppermint oil, others."  (Please refer to the Search bar at Lumigrate, put in those words or search on cleaning, laundry -- there's a whole separate, condensed and easy to understand topic from all the information discussed about this in 2015). 

Then someone asks about Thieves essential oil (which is a mix of oils made and distributed by the Young Living MLM company).  Steve said he needed more info from people who'd used it, and one of his old-time mainstay followers who has contributed a LOT to his information over the time I've been around, moreso in 2015 perhaps, chimed in with a good amount: 

"Yes it's good I diffuse it but I add tea tee too it's stong antifungal / antibacterial. 
I am better mentally when diffusing in bedroom while sleeping. It has no heat involved, and kills pathogens in the air. 
I sprayed algae in the toilet with it and it melted them away, but I rotate: thieves plus tea tree for few days the thieves and clove or oregano or lavender as I don't want them to get used to something ! I also spray these bastards with activated MMS from time to time. But I don't mix MMS with oils ever, as you use this or that (not this AND that together). They don't seem to like eucalyptus or cinnamon EOs either."

This topic overall is like an archive, too, and there are OTHER TOPICS AT LUMIGRATE THAT I CREATED AFTER THIS ONE WHERE I'VE ASSIMILATED (aka 'digested') the information and made it more 'applied', functional, and integrated with other information.  I've had someone who took a leadership position in Steve's Images, who found her way there from finding this topic on the Internet, not realize there was MUCH MORE that was EASIER and SHORTER and APPLIED, than this 'warehouse' of info.   This topic was where I was placing the highlights from the time I started 'covering this story', and so there's a lot to plow through, below, if you're wanting all the highlights.  It shows how he will later say something differently than he did before, how this was an evolution.  

Then on the 18th of March he posted a video about protozoa: Protozoa

And to round things out and bring them around to the ever-important bees,  ..... sick-bees-part-13-simple-microscopy-of-nosema 

 

Hence, I put things up at the top that are new and the more important things, as well as links to the subsequent topics I created at Lumigrate utilizing what I learned from intensively studying in Steve's Images (after passively seeing what was going on in my Facebook feed but not 'getting it' what he was 'onto' at that time, and was distracted with the busy-ness of my life at that time which was not allowing the 'head space' to dig in like others were at that time and study.  They helped interpret, they gave Steve feedback, and things progressed, and I have all those whose footsteps were there before mine, beside mine and over mine to thank. So there's some introduction to help you understand this topic's complexities.    

I strongly suggest anyone finding this topic take the following link -- it'll link you back here if you want, and other places.  It's the more 'introduction' topic, or "applied" -- an overview without much detail and so many, many photographs as follow, mostly from Steve Beddingfield's microscope.  Highlights from here are there.

I created this initial thread to 'warehouse' the unfolding of much information that came out in late 2014 and early 2015, through the summer as well -- putting it here to be the 'trove', or 'tomb', or 'cache'.  

Then, after digesting all this information provided at this thread, I made the more applicable topic about THE Stuff: 101. It's presented with more 'application' of what we can possibly or can be DOING right now, without having gone through the whole learning process -- just to get started with reducing the load we're getting from THE Stuff. www.lumigrate.com/forum/stuff-interloping-and-overwhelming-everything-examples-and-ideas-remediation-our-immediate-env

Also, I want to top load this important development from late summer / early fall of 2015. Please contact me if you're interested in being connected to more information / resources about what is provided here. Splintering of people is common, as we've always seen in friendship circles, professional groups, etc., it's part of life. "Creative differences" the PR people spin it for those in the entertainment industry ....

It was no exception with the work of Steve Beddingfield and his followers. While Steve is wanting to attract people to his group so they can get more information and be part of things, some of the others had other ideas, so they started other groups OR focused on their walls and posting for their FB friends to see there.

You'll learn that PosterGal was a major and significant part of the process in that group in the timeframe so much information went 'forwards', taking Steve and everyone else with it. That's when I tuned into the group.  I've stayed in contact with PosterGal and what she's gone on with and asked her for a statement, as she appreciates the path she got on with Steve's work as it was a leap and bound of new thinking for her, and then she diverged into other things and now has this statement: 

In light of what I am learning and discovered myself, and my own mini trial group, I can no longer in good conscience back fenben and reishi alone (reishi does not decompose fast enough and is not a prokinetic) without the addition of a prokinetic (peppermint or Iberogast) or a toxin neutralizer at least. I am not saying fenben is not good, maybe just too good in light of the other factors, and unless everyone takes those other factors into account as there is evidence, 100% of patients relapsed on rifixamin ALONE and rifaximin essentially is half benzimidazole, it's why it stays in the intestine and works in the first place. If Dr. Pimentel (SIBO ground breaker in S. California) recognized the importance and changed course in his subsequent patients and treatment modalities, everyone else should consider doing so too. The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which he will be talking about soon and the SRBS are too important of a factor in playing into paralysis (of the intestines), and Pimentel knows it. I now know it, and my own mini trial group knows it. You can not let this bacteria sit and rot in the small intestine, period --  and not take into account the migrating motor complex (paralysis).

 

So in essence, I keep following the work of Steve Beddingfield and adding in anything of significance that is new onto this thread.  The other topic, which I'm linking to here about THE Stuff will have anything really major of his AND REFLECT the OTHER PATHS and people who I encountered in his group when it was exploding at the end of 2014 and the start of 2015. 

I'm in the position of providing highlights of the information to YOUsers of Lumigrate and being trusted by those on FB who have gotten to know me and my work and are generous to include me in their groups. And they're operating secretively sometimes so I cannot therefore divulge more here than I do YET I want to make people aware of the major points, such as looking to other forms of fenbendazole.  These people still, usually, participate in certain threads in Steve's group, such as this, from someone leading the way on the 'fishben':

"You can get the Fishben on Amazon. It's by Thomas labs. It comes in packets of 250 mg. and can be dissolved in food or liquid. 250 mg is similar to the 2.5 ml of the Safeguard, but I feel it is a bit stronger than the Safeguard, so I would start slowly and work up. For me, no weight gain and no spare tire around the middle from it as I had with the Safeguard."   The goat fenbendazole (Safeguard) and the horse paste contain parabens and other undesirable inactive ingredients, in their opinion, which have been found to cause estrogenic effects in some. The Fishben powder by Thomas Labs is 99% pure fenbendazole with the remaining 1% being cellulose. Or bulk orders can be made to obtain 100% fenbendazole. Either of these versions can be used."

When I'd asked for a synopsis to share on my website this is what one member wrote: (And I thanked them there, and will do so here too). " ... for those who don't want the goat or horse Fenben due to the parabens, we use the powder form -- fishben. We were ordering it from Thomas Labs, but that's kind of expensive. I found a place called Fishman Labs where they sell it in bulk for significantly cheaper. (someone else in the group, name removed) offered to coordinate the group buy, so about 10 of us split a kilo of it. The Thomas Labs fishben powder has a tiny bit of cellulose in it, and it comes in packets of 250mg. The bulk powder doesn't contain cellulose, and you have to dose it yourself."

Someone went on to talk about how they were figuring the dose with their newly-arrived Fishman Labs product: "I tried the bulk powder today. Took 1/2 teasp. I added it to applesauce and noticed that it didn't dissolve as well as the fishben powder. I added 2 drops of DMSO and it seemed to dissolve after that." Someone else said they were using olive oil to dissolve it.  I followed up on the conversation threads for the days after and they worked more things through, and it's a good example of how this goes, today --- the take charge person who are figuring things out, not reliant upon 'providers' to lead the way.  

"The Fishben packet of 250 mg measures about 1/2 tsp plus 1/8th. But the pure fenben powder appears to be much different based on discussions with others in another thread. Some think that 1/8th tsp of the powder is 250 mg...."  

The group leader said the previous statement, a group member followed with:

" I'm following what you're saying, but then again they are both nearly pure fenben powder, so ....... ? I guess there must be a significant difference in density because of particle size. The fishben packet type maybe was more granular. I'd better look into it."

Ultimately, the cutting edge of health care today is THIS -- people who have the motivation to help them selves and their loved ones with arduous hours of research, trying things, connecting with others on the Internet and in person instead of doing other things one might rather be doing if 'well' or healthier.  Getting feedback, changing things, finding others to 'follow', 'collaborate with', and in my case and many others', provide at websites aimed and getting the word out. So this is how I've gone about this aspect in the forums at Lumigrate.  

One of the things Steve has said in summary (November 2015) is a good snippet: "

Fenbendazole and reishi know their job, they do it well. Skin lesions are a bummer, the rhizoids found within the lesions extend down deep into our soft tissues and in and into our bones, this makes it difficult to destroy the life forms involved."     So, enter the information, in depth if you look through all of it on this topic and the ones I link to.  I have tried to put the more pertinent things coming along new with time up at the top, so people wanting an overview get that with as little time as is possible. 

So this is how it goes. And goes. People are really working at this, because they're finding the results so promising and good.  

There is also continuing to emerge, interesting links.  This one from November 7, 2015, posted by Steve Beddingfield himself, from a 1981 report (Link:  www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7095820     )

Abstract

I just love the word ubiquitous, and recalled fondly learning of it and how to use it correctly in 1984.  I'm not sure it's being used exactly correctly here, but I still love the use of the word here.  

I frequently listen to the radio shows done on OneRadioNetwork and there was an 'old doctor' with fifty years experience who has written over 40 books and currently has a focus on nutrition and intestinal health. Naturally, I listened to see if it was a resource I'd link to from Lumigrate.  I liked a LOT of what he was saying -- he was talking about people taking charge today more than ever before because the health care system that's mainstream in the U.S. (and beyond) is volume based medicine now, and it's not serving people who have the wherewithall to be proactive. So they're doing differently, basically like this topic is set up to demonstrate. BREAK GROUND.  Find pieces to the puzzle. Put them together with other puzzle-figure-outers. 

 

It's very helpful for people to be connected with these outstanding groups with good (but very different) leadership. Contact me if you're wanting support in your moving forward with education or taking action. I just updated this the last several days and contacted someone who prefers to learn in person, 1:1 and get the highlights verbally, they take notes of what to study on Lumigrate and then they go from there until our next visit together (which sometimes can be by phone but that dilutes for them so we do less often an in person.  And they progress. Slowly. They'd do better if I checked to see if they got their homework done, grins. ~ Mardy

Editing this in mid August, to show how this information is evolving -- the video, below with the pictures of the trees is an example of someone 'noticing' in a neighboring state to Steve's. This statement from a group member reinforces my opening paragraph, about this being something some embrace, others reject, and everyone's there or somewhere in between. 

"I hate 'it' and the illness it causes everyone, but I sure love learning about it! Thanks Steve. I wish I could explain it to my family without them thinking I'm nuts, lol. I'll always be there for them though, of course. And forget about my doctor that's driving me crazy and having me do another set of the exact same lab work he's done 3 times already! sigh. Talk about confused, lol. The only one not confused here is Steve." 

I've worked very hard to not be confused by this, and there are many very diligent people who communed in Steve's group and other places among themselves or other places to study together and process. It's important, and Steve's response to the above statement shows why .... and why it's important to study things enough to understand everything. This is made difficult when our brains and other body parts are malfunctioning from the various things that are whittling away at our wellness and giving us illness symptoms. 

"Sulfur and hydrogen sulfide are not the same; H2S is toxic, destructive to cells, bones and organs. Sulfur is a part of who we are; actually H2S is also part of our cellular makeup, but not in large amounts. HYDROSULPHURIC ACID is causing us harm, some species of bacteria produce this acid and some worms carry these acid-secreting bacteria as symbiots."

Editing this in August (as I have regularly ever since creating it, to update it) and being able to look back and explain my process of discovery of this information, and why I took the leap to put it on Lumigrate before I normally would have with something this 'unproven', I today appreciate the process that unfolded that lead to my doing so. I can see by the things that are happening in my own environment around the Grand Valley of western Colorado that it is playing out the way Steve had forseen, at least I had found the information relatively soon and brought it to Lumigrate's YOUsers and was also able to 'talk it up' to those I encounter, and provide the suggestion to study this topic.  

'Substantiation' that I saw of what Steve was putting in his group in 2014 (and early 2015) came from a handfull or so of people who really rolled up their sleeves, collectively contributing with many others who were adding into the process and created what amassed in the group page. Literally ON Christmas Day, in the afternoon my time, in the evening her time, the woman I call here "PosterGal" pitched a fit.

Not only did it seem odd that someone was having a fit about the medical establishment on the holy day (she'd just related it was a holy day for her on Christmas Eve), it stood out in my feed because most everyone on Christmas is occupied with something other than Facebook. I've learned to stay tuned because it is the most profoundly unwell who are often on Facebook on the holiday -- either they're housebound OR they are such unwell families, behaviorally, they opt to not participate in family gatherings. 

PosterGal found 'the patent trail' at that point in time, to the extent that she processed what that meant to her -- that the Lyme literate "layer" out there, the other 'system' of doctors and providers out there of all these expensive treatments 'we' have been throwing money at, hoping to be saved from the pain, fatigue, and impending demise and death, ultimately, had to know about this.  Essentially "If we figured it out, they certainly have or could have."  

When I saw the direction the patent trail she laid out pointed to, for chemicals similar to the fenbendazole which is a key portion of Steve's overall protocol for treating people and pets and other things, I had a strong feeling my big Christmas Present of 2014 was the front row seat I had to seeing history in the making.  I had a confluence of happenings that allowed me to be seeing this 'stand out' in my Facebook, on my computer. No on my phone, or tablet, but on one of the two original monitors that have been along for the whole ride from before we even had Lumigrate as a name for the website.  

Fast forward to my editing this on July 16, 2015 because someone in the group had somehow found a summary statement by Steve when asking for a concise overview 'that a five year old would understand'.  These people who typically have gotten the sickest soonest due to their genetics and how toxins are handled by the body among other things, are typically highly intelligent and also realize that their cognition has been affected because this stuff affects the brain.  It ended up being one of the funniest conversations I've seen in the almost YEAR that I've been included in Steve's group.  

The woman found this quote from Steve, edited and slighly modified by me to make it more understandable and readable: 

"This group covers bartonella, Lyme, and many more syndromes.  That's because it's all the same disease; variations occur due to symbiots being manifested from different areas, different storms that brought us microbes from the HABs (hazardous algae blooms), the salt marshes, the hydrothermal vents, but it's all from the ocean originally.

Some came here, such as GSB (giant sulphur bacteria) and took up terrestrial symbionts, like babesia and bartonella, but this protocol fits all of them due to GSB being the synergistic base pathogen that carries all of them to our bodies. The other (places people learn - "sites") don't understand "this disease", nor how to properly treat it; we here in this group understand this GSB disease."

 

Mold was something that was clearly meant to hit the mainstream, organized 'system' that influences mainstream people in 2015, with Dr. Oz in April, Suzanne Somers in May and Bulletproof's Dave Aspey in June with the release of 'Moldy' the movie/documentary.  I'm going to put "mold" in "quotes" here to make a point; you'll find by taking in the information presented at this topic, that what we've thought was mold is not exactly what we thought it was. Same with Lyme. Same with a LOT of things.  So when we put "Lyme" or "whatever" in quotes, we are reminding people that you're needing to look through the NEW lense presented with the research I suggest be considered, provided by Steve Beddingfield originally.  

Here's what Steve Beddingfield adds to the mix: "Mold now has bacterial genetics, like the moss, it's now an invasive, alpha species that brings new organisms to the soil, to us. ...." (Someone makes a comment about the ____ hitting the fan, to which Steve says" "Shit has already hit the fan, the ocean slung it into the fan "clouds", so it's everywhere, even in the desert. But I have a plan! Stand My Ground."

And then the next day this comment: "There's no preparing for this event, only acceptance of it, it will shape much of our near future for us. Water will be the biggest concern, but how will it affect the crops growing? GSB performs lateral gene transfer, just as with the mushrooms we see outside (that are unusual recently), our crop species will accept the new genes, change the plants forever. GSB alone might not be a bad thing in some ways, but its gang of symbiots seem to always follow it wherever it goes. They do the most harm, possibly.  Time is about to tell the whole story."

So hold on for a ride, if you ... YOU!... choose to get into this information. I see this as where his head is 'at' currently based on his research. This topic, which I modify ongoing, by the way, will have the tools (information-based, Facebook group and it's leader as well as knowing as with anything I can be working directly with people to assist them with their information and how to put it into action in their home, office, car, 'life' (using my background when an occupational therapist, before that I worked in health education at a major University....).

Worms / "Worms"

New Roundworm May Be Connected With CFS / Lyme . We know our dogs and cats and horses and everything else get worms, why is it so hard for people in the US (and beyond / the western world, etc.) to think about our having worms? We know people in other parts of the world do. Think about that for a while before you go on, maybe. Truly, that time might be a good investment in getting you underway faster and slower, sooner than later, with less effort than more, with less money than more. 

And since this heading blends CFS with Lyme, the next section will be about Lyme.  Some today are calling it autism in kids and adult autism in adults, it being chronic fatigue in general.  Another pause might be in order for the reader at this point. 

This was a resource provided by a very active-of-late group member on September 25, exactly three months from today it will be Christmas and a year since I 'tuned in' to what a very active, processing, researching member provided which had me know I was seeing something of significance.

The conversation highlights that ensued in Steve's Images surrounding this link or the posting by the woman who was having an 'aha moment' about worms (she'd been talking about tonsils and facial symptoms) leads me to post what Steve had to say: 

"When one is treating for this worm / bacteria combo, they must keep in mind that expulsion of these organisms means they will be leaving from body openings, or they will create their own opening, depends somewhat upon where they have chosen to collect themselves, it's surgery during this time of treatment, which is very risky, it could open up a can of worms, but spitting out a few pounds of them might be nice.

(Name removed, referring to the woman who posted), the Reishi extract can be placed in a dropper, then place a couple of drops onto the tonsils. Corticosteroid drops would also be of benefit for you.

It's refreshing for many of us to watch the manner in which you handle this disease, in many ways I can see that your struggle is huge, but you seem to handle it all with such dignity and grace! Other sufferers relate to you, your posts are a blessing for them; it's your ability to put this nightmare into a proper perspective with your words that so many of us need."

 I'd found what she said was extremely humorous, too, she was talking about how she'd end up with the worm being named after her maybe and it just really showed how much she was studying, thinking, learning, teaching, and feeling and how horrendous it is to think about these interlopers doing this to her, and calling upon sense of humor.  (Note: Steve uses the word 'sufferer' a lot, I have always maintained on Lumigrate and in my work overall to reserve that word for situations when we're focusing for a while on the reality of the suffering that people with chronic conditions experience because the mind game of it is going to be that when you say that, you become that .... if one wishes to believe that line of reasoning. Refer to other forums on Lumigrate about the mind/body for more).

Lyme and Company

Steve Beddingfield frequently cites the number 300+ for the medical conditions that in his paradigm, using his lens of looking at things, becomes one disease he says, though I don't know about using the word disease, perhaps dis-order / disorder is more accurate and less confusing. Mincing words at some point, which some do and then you lose them because they're hung up on if it's a disease by the definition they think of for disease.  Dis-ease it is, certainly.  

Anyway, at the following link you will find the following article and list of medical conditions as they call it, things that mainstream, organized powers that be have created categories for and put where they put them in various specialties, divided them up with the providers who see people from the head down and then those who see people only to do with their behaviors or their mouths and teeth.   I perhaps help make my point here about how to see this whole-istically or not. 

I looked at the list for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome because it is such an up-and-coming, major 'new' defined and funded by the system / recognized by the system condition.  It's not on here, and it is something that a majority of young people today appear to me and others to have symptoms of and they're being missed diagnosed, underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed and mistreated in some cases. So I'm going to run with the 365 number cited here because I like that it shows there's at least one for every day of the year.  

And in bold I am going to point out to people to please read the part about every mental health condition the DSM has ....

Vocations / Occupations and Some History

It took me until the middle of July to get Steve's attention off of other things and onto answering my questions for a little 'interview' about him.  In my background, I've had many vocations. Remember, 'vocation' is how one earns money for living, 'occupation' is what occupies your time.  So right now I'm sitting at a keyboard at a computer writing on my website, which is my vocation -- being a health information concierge and helping people apply information they learn to their DAILY ACTIVITIES.

I just performed another occupation, making something to drink. My degree is in occupational therapy, but I have not worked at the vocation of occupational therapist since I left insurance-based medicine in 2008. But I use my experiences and knowledge and apply it to new situations in my new 'life's work'. Much of what I know, however, comes from my life-long health issues and how I've navigated and learned and applied (or bungled) things.  

Steve's story is similar. Steve is a mechanic, and that was his vocation in the past, he was and is, he says, certified in the kind of vehicle I have, Toyota. He was mid 50s when his health failed; he was extremely ill. He related to me that he prayed and things unfolded for him. He found a child's microscope and started looking at what was coming out of the lesions in his skin. He self-studied and then also went for a while to college/university but the amount of information that could help his research for the time put in was not a good trade off.  He's one who fortunately can pick up information from reading better than most.  His personal history is actually a very interesting one, hopefully to be related by someone in full someday.  For now, for this topic, I'll leave it at that.  I don't know why I thought he had a professional background in microscopic photography, I thought he'd told me that at one point and so if you read that in any of my writings or I've told you that, I today stand corrected on that (July 15, 2015).  

This is perhaps a good point to pause and ask readers to do the same and think about who YOU trust today for information.  Steve is concerned that because he's without formal credentials and professional, vocational experience for the research he's doing that it's going to deter people from taking him seriously.  I think about George Clooney's character in O' Brother..... and the term 'bona fide'.  I suspect that people who have a formal science background for whatever reason might find a lot to be critical of with Steve's work and teachings, and know this to be the case because the first person who told me they were taking livestock worming medicine ended up in his group and then left and I asked why --- it just drove the person batty to see his methodology. That person thanked me for the way I broke the information down and provided it so they got a different perspective of it and they rejoined the group and sometimes contributed to conversations ... for a while.

That's how it goes, people come and go, go and come, some stay all the time and hold down the fort and everyone gets to know them.  I'll likely go away someday too, but for now, I feel it's like going to school -- it's a top priority of mine and I go first thing almost every morning. I hope this plants a seed in someone reading who might not have thought about the commitment and prioritization it takes to be a proactive, successful medical consumer reversing chronic conditions or maintaining wellness level if with a condition that could progress. 

We cannot be concerned with things that are beyond our control. If someone is going to think the work is valid or not is their reality to be determined.  I, as a provider of information, can, however, suggest to people that they put some TIME and ENERGY onto thinking about how they allow people or information into their circle to influence them.  

My father was a guy who literally "judged" everyone by their intelligence and their education.  He was hyper analytical. I inherited some of that, thankfully buffered somehow. He was also with a good number of symptoms of "this stuff we all have" that today is called "autism" in more extreme cases. Yes, it's my opinion and I elaborate in this topic why and how, that we ALL (virtually) have symptoms today, unless we had non-mainstream parents and perhaps grandparents. 

He had a real adoration for the government and the System, and so he would not do anything that wasn't approved of and coming from The System.  So he'd not take a supplement that provided more than the FDA amounts, for instance.  Despite having ample funds, he would not spend money to go out of his insurance and to an MD that spun off from his doctor's office who was advising people from a more functional medicine standpoint.  So I got to see what happens from being that way. He also didn't consume alcohol except rarely and no more than one beverage, and he followed whatever diet he thought he should follow as closely as he had the capacity to. Meaning as he was getting goofy in the brain he wasn't able to learn as well and catch everything and mistakes would occur, but when he was middle aged and became aware of his hypoglycemia it was simply right then an adherence to how he was trained to eat and drink.  

So I could do all the homework and legwork and get things lined up and then suggest something to him, only to have the idea shot down. Politely, always. In the mean time, he went from a robust looking man at age 55 when I was a teenager, 180 pounds, almost six feet tall, to 130 pounds and about five foot three, with a shuffling gait and a host of problems.  With a medical doctor at that medical practice who somehow did not 'notice', or did not 'address' the symptoms. The whole system that supported him had to compensate.  It was affecting everyone.  He finally was diagnosed, another horrendous story for another topic thread (which I've provided in the end of life / 'home stretch' forum), and passed in 2010.

Five year later, almost I'm sitting here wondering 'what would he have done had he known of Steve's research'.  He was the kind of guy, maybe we'd have gotten out the hoarded away kiddie microscope that was in his house my whole entire life, and we'd have gotten underway and collaborated. I suspect he would have helped fund Steve's research, at the very least. Because --- Steve is / was a mechanic, and my dad had the utmost of respect for mechanics.  His father, my 'grandpa', was one, for the Mack truck company, going into management at some point. My father was a mechanic in the military, initially. He had a respect for what it takes to be a mechanic -- a good one.  

Don't we ALL if we have cars? Haven't we all had the opportunity to find some gem of a mechanic who we rely on for helping us solve the problem of one of our most important vessels in our lives, our automobile? So WHY wouldn't we really respect Steve Beddingfield for having SHIFTED (pun intended perhaps) from working as a mechanic to working as a researcher on what's affecting our ultimate vessel? Since he's in North Carolina and I'm in Colorado, I have only spoken by phone on a few occasions with Steve, as well as being an active member in his Facebook group and being one who he communicates with privately in messages there.

Everyone has to be scrutinous of who is who anymore -- we have rashes of scientists and doctors and researchers dying in strange ways and disappearing. We have internet trolls and shills, paid to disrupt the reputations and thoughts of people via their online work. That's their 'vocation', if they're paid, then there are a lot who follow the 'leader' and just behave that way and aren't being paid or part of the programs.  I do my best to 'vet' people, and as time goes on at Lumigrate I've hopefully honed that skill because I'm also evolving as a spiritual, mental, bodily be-ing. But I ask YOUsers to do your own work always on this front as well.  

The Mind Game of Chronic Unwellness / Pain

I don't look at this as a 'battle', but that's long been my point with this chronic disease stuff. I'm more of one to liken the situation we have with health challenges to a 'friendly game of tennis or chess' where we realize we're going to be with this stuff our entire lives, so we have to be okay with coexisting with it and just out-do it! We can't 'irradicate' these things, but we can limit our exposures and reduce the negatives adding to the equation. We can't follow a desired diet perfectly, but we can do as much as we do, and that's going to add to the positives in the equation. In 2007 when I was kicking the 'can' around with ideas about a website to educate people about what I'd found was helpful for fibromyalgia, I came up with 'fibromyalgia as your friend'. Allopathic medicine teaches us to 'fight'; holistic medicine such as homeopathy teaches us to 'go with'. Think about it. 

Steve, in the conversation I'm relating here, goes on within a few comments to be sharing his methods for healing the lesions people with Morgellons experience from the topical aspect -- his protocol addresses things from the inside out too. "I don't see any toothpaste on your lesions, so put some on, leave it on to dry up the lesion. It has to stay on the sore spot.  It'll form a scab, dry up, after a few days, no lesions. Forget the makeup; toilet paper must remain on or the lesion will grow huge, spread and make many more."  The voice of experience: Steve Beddingfield.

I think many people have had Morgellon's symptoms and haven't realized it's 'Morgellons' / Morg / MD.  I'll now take it a step further and say it's same as I say here about 'autism' -- we all have it, whether we know it or not.  And we certainly have not been aware, typically, of the bacteria his research has focused on in 2015. Even the 2014 focus on cyanobacteria was new to most of us. So this is a lot of information, I encourage you taking the time to look it over.  

Preface Over - Let's Get Going

Let me start with what might be called a summary statement from Steve Beddingfield: "Imagine this scenario: we are sickened by one of the largest bacteria known, it replicates at least 100 times faster than other bacteria, carries many endo and ectopic things along with it. It is capable of storing more memory than a Google server. Our butts are in deep trouble." That's the way Steve rolls. His way of running a group appeals to some more than others, and it would seem that many in the group tolerate what's not to their liking because the information is innovative, and proving to benefit increasing numbers of people. 

This is what "JellyBean" had to say after finding her way to the information:  

I am enthralled and obsessed with all of this! My laundry isn't cleaned or folded, my house is a mess, bills are piled high, no groceries, my car hasn't been washed this year, my grass is a foot high, and I just can't seem to stop reading all I can get my hands on. Wish I could afford a helper. Poop snooper is a full time job too. lol

It is for me, an awakening. I have been judged, by most everyone, about my sickness/es; run the gammit of wrong diagnoses for too many years, none of them able to be validated. Am even CDC + for Lyme disease, but it doesn't matter. I have never had a lazy bone in my body. I've always said "you rest, you rust." I so long for a body that fits my adventurous mind. This is my life-altering hope for all hope, if it be His will, it will be. Believe.

Then the woman I refer to as "PosterGal", an admin who I'll elaborate about elsewhere, responded with this: I know where of you speak, having spent the better part of a year working to wrap my own mind around it. It is a glorious new day for science and humanity, but just from personal experience don't forget to see the forest for the trees. I see "admin." in your future, lol. 

I created this topic in early January 2015 in order to 'hold a place' on the Internet for the information to be found AND document what goes on as a very successful 'tight group' studying a new emerging theory gets their feet under them and starts taking off. This might be a surprising process for you, or you might have seen this in the past in other circles where a protocol is developed or underway and growing.  This is how so many improvements have come to the forefront in recent years and decades, due to the Internet.  This one, I sensed, was going to be special.  It already was, and is.  

I am continually editing this to make it easier and better for the next person to find it, or for others to come back to and utilize.  In late May (2015) the group's leadership underwent a big change and I'm just so grateful that I followed my intuition and dedicated time, carving it out of other things I was planning to focus on and 'needing to do', so that I was along for that ride.  I'm sure it'll morph into something equally intriguing and helpful, but different.  That's what change is all about and right now we all have a LOT of change we're having to deal with.  Some may be less aware than others. 

Mainstream sources are increasingly providing stories about what 'this stuff is all about', which serves to legitimize what is presented here.  Reuters had a story in May about the very cold waters' bacteria 'not far from vents coming up from under the surface of the Earth' but not quite saying that's where the bacteria were from -- how relient they are! So mainstream is starting to put out a LOT of dots about this, and some of us get to connect them sooner than later and then gently ripple effect the information. Those who are capable of learning and changing and doing the WORK that is entailed to reduce the load of toxins will be able to do that IF they become aware, then educated, then proactive.  Others won't have that opportunity. So I'm very pleased I did my part. 

Here's something Steve said on June 3, 2015 related to stains that appear in someone's toilet bowl very rapidly after cleaning the bowl, and the person was inquiring if this was from the bacteria.

 "Definitely in the water, The Great Lakes are yukky with the algae blooms, these bodies of water run underground streams and most wells east of the Missippi river draw from these aquifers, off the bottom too, and this is where the algae settles, releasing its toxic fermentation, all oxygen is depleted, then the GSB is delivered to us to use and drink, via these underground aquifers."

That might help you see, even if you don't live in that part of the world, how this works and how this applies to YOU. Here's more....

From June 4 and 5, 2015, after I pressed him for a synopsis:

"Giant Sulphur Bacteria, GSB for short, is able to parasitize algae that it comes in contact with, much like it does with mold, so a new problem maker arises, moss is now invasive. Cyano is a part of the algal blooms, yet GSB is the main organism being found in local blooms, no cyano is present in any freshwater samples tested for species diversity, only GSB. This puts pressure upon statements about CYANO being part of the pathogen equation. Is the problem strictly GSB? Most likely, YES!

More info is needed, maybe. Cylindrospermopsis is almost impossible for scientists to diffirentiate from Thioploca species or perhaps also, Beggiatoa species. I'm thinking that this mistake is made most of the time with analysis of water and the blooms affecting water. Many secondary species are marine life forms, but not all are CYANO or dinoflagellates, some are even terrestrial species, but GSB is the main pathogen, as its proliferation goes unchecked by traditional means of treatment and filtration."

From studying geoengineering after waking up about that in 2013, mid year, I came to realize by year's end that there was a clever plan of how to bring the population of the world up to speed about the issue in a controlled way.  I believe the same is true about this information.  

Without further elaboration, here's a link to what I referred to, above; I'd like to introduce this right off the bat -- so you'll have that as a foundation before going on to learn more about Steve Beddingfield and his theory, group, protocol, etc. "Jelly Bean" posted it today. The title: "Deep-sea microbes called missing link for complex cellular life".  I might take it a step further for the YOUsers reading this and say '... microbes are missing link for complex chronic conditions we all have symptoms of in life'.  

Many people think of 'well' vs. 'sick' as having aches or calling in sick from work and they often don't see mood, attention, learning, skin or other issues as symptoms. Dandruf. Everyone has something.  Remember, don't 'compare' to what you think is 'normal' now because everyone has symptoms, nobody (ultimately, realistically) is totally well, so what do you have to compare to? Compare wellness to what the ideal would be if one had a perfect diet and nothing was loading them down from the environment.  The reason for that is to be able to better see how things covered in this very important topic at Lumigrate related to YOU, so you might then go from there and become more proactive.

A man with a microscope, named Steve Beddingfield, with abilities doing microscopic photography PLUS  a group of experienced chronic illness 'sufferers', who are now devoted followers and literally 'supporters' of him and his protocol, some of whom contribute daily to the group process on Facebook after stepping up to the plate when being 'sold' / convinced, one by one, about what he professes. I got Steve's permission to take the only photo I could find of him on his Facebook and put it into this topic at Lumigrate. (Edited in 5/24/2015) He had made it his profile picture on January 1, 2013. Remarks focused around how much improved he looked.  I like this because he appears 'normal' for his apparent age here, and people who know what to look for as symptoms to do with the skin and Morgellon's Disease might suspect there are visible signs remaining of the outward, dermal symptoms of his condition, his disease, your disease, my disease, the disease (dis-ease) we all have within us. 

July 3, 2015 I am transferring into this topic two of the photos Steve posted today, and what he had said:

"September 2009. Worms do this to us; half worm, half bacteria." ~~ Steve Beddingfield, July 3, 2015

---

From the start, I want to bring in the premise up front -- the various symptoms of unwellness of mind, body, spirit and people have been having increasingly both in how many people are unwell and how unwell that can be is much different than we've been lead to believe typically.  It's actually very easy once you can 'make the shift' but making the shift can be difficult, and for some impossible.

The shift lands you seeing things the way Steve came to see them after years of thinking, researching, and looking at what came out of sores in his arms, and what was in the environment.  Because of his unique history with microscopes, he came up with something that's getting a lot of followers in 2015, about a year after he started a group on Facebook.  Only about 50-60 people in the group have been there longer than I. 

Sometimes, though, it's something you see or hear that's similar to YOUR symptom or symptoms that gets a person 'on the hook'.  As Steve had more time with the group and his information he was posting different things so I'm now going in and adding them and changing the format of this topic a great deal.  

One Must Look Again at "Dust" and "Lint" 

I realized the more I've talked about this information to people, it all boils down to cleaning differently --- your water, your body, your laundry, your inside of house and garage, outside of house and gutters and landscaping. 

Editing this on September 24, 2015, there had just been 4,000 reads of this topic as I'm adding in here because I like to keep showing the new input that comes to Steve's Images.  A woman said this: 

"I'm having to clean up the result of "flying dust" today. I'm finally well enough to clean.There are toxic dust bunnies everywhere and no, those are not cobwebs. They like to hide. I'm armed with gloves and a mask and playing Elmer Fudd... Waskally...... dust.... bunnies! They will NEVER have the chance to form again."

Someone asked for pictures and she said sorry, she'd gotten most of everything cleaned up but had a little more to do and would post if she came across anything. Then this:

"These were behind a cased Far Infrared portable sauna I never got to use.... yet." (She included a photo that looks like what has been shown in other photos and I've included those below, it's too time consuming to get the involvement of all the people taking pictures to get their okay and etc.). "This is the last wall to get to for cleaning. I found much bigger colonies than this that lined the whole wall behind and the back of a big pocket organizer. I've been capturing them with damp paper towels misted with clear ammonia 50/50. A scientist (Dr. William Croft) said clear ammonia will subdue toxins and micotoxins. Regardless, after these colonies are removed, this article will be completely wiped down again and set in the sun for the rest of the day. This is war." 

Inspired yet? For the record, I was editing this after doffing (means "taking off", I'm an old occupational therapist at heart with terminology still) nalgene gloves and a dust mask and having worked in long pants and long shirt that can be put into the washer and cleaned properly. Ideally I'd have put on something to protect my eyes. I'd used the shop vac to clean up the area of the garage that is most used, something I do regularly because it reduces what gets on you, on the dog, into the house, cars, etc.  It was trash day, so I wanted to get that done and empty the canister into a bag and give it to the trash professionals.  I can't help but think there is so much we need to be doing to treat what we dispose of.  Some spray what they dispose of thoroughly, some burn things like dryer lint (though it is said it is sometimes resistant to burning depending upon the ratio of lint to 'Stuff'/bacteria material). 

 

TREES Showing People What's Going On

Here's something that I think is good to put up front: What Steve's photographed on TREES.

                 

                                                  ©2015 Steve Beddingfield "Perhaps a reverse lichen" - it's a bacteria from the ocean that got with the moss on the ground, and entered the moss. When it meets on the tree, it forms a lichen that needs to be examined further to see which ..... it's usually three species that makes a lichen. You should see what comes with these things...."

"I'm cookin' a log one day in my wood stove, and out of the log when it got really hot, out comes something with a black goop with scaffolding inside it -- we're watching the beginnings of life here, we have to keep this in mind." "It's here to eat Earth, it's a mutualistic relationship...."

 

                

                         ©2015 Steve Beddingfield "From Base of Tree" - "this is where it's first taking on the heaviness of the GSB. It's hard to tell here, the green is chlorophyl and the white is sulphur bacteria, and one is dominant for a while until it gets up higher, but this is the horizontal gene transfer here. It can go further down into the tree or into the next organism on the outside of the tree. The polypores -- the immune system of the tree -- is battling with it here. I have pictures with what goes on with the battle, it's just wonderful -- it's real interesting, Mardy, and good work, too.... "

Someone asks for clarification on how a 'reverse lichen' would be defined. "I remember the discussion about them being a symbiotic relationship between fungus and algae, but haven't read beyond that", she said. Steve answers: 

"With two species coming together to form a new species, each assumes a position, a role; this role can be reversed by GSB, but a form is still created between the two species."

EDITING MID AUGUST, 2015 -- A group member provided this link to a YouTube by a South Carolina woman, which I think is worth the five minutes to watch.  

Steve commented: "Bacteria! bacteria involved..... I've been screaming this for quite a while, seems others are also alarmed. Anderson, SC, where the video was shot is only 45 minutes from (where I'm at in North Carolina), it's right beside Lake Hartwell, a huge lake. I have many pics of the lichens and their new symbiotic partner, GSB. Pics are of the pathogenic process as it develops upon the trees."

         

Red, yellow, green -- I see chlorophyl bacteria -- they get the name for that through it's from photosynthesis not chemosynthesis that this exists.  I can find these same spheres on the outside of trees, it could be precipitating gold or some metal there, we don't know.  The one on the right is a little more of a pure culture maybe, because the one on the right has perhaps taken on mold. This would produce the super mold right here. The mold is just the carrier for the GSB, you know. It had to enter other stuff to carry it as a hitchhiker or interloper you call it. As you can see it's put 

© 2015 Steve Beddingfield. Tiny spheres of sulphur bacteria and green cloraphyl bacteria perhaps to be green. It's being oxydized with something, the transfer genetically of other material. Dark, burgundy is likely anamox, the red that's on the outside of the worms, that's what scientists call it -- I don't know it... anarobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria -- there's more to it than that. If you get any of that red on you, it'll restart the process.  Sample was from Steve's skin sample earlier in 2014. "You get this stuff on you, I can't live in a bubble, I am out there livin' and researching".  

Right ... There's bacteria and it's oxydizing something.. the white could be oxydizing and going to black but usually it's dark going to light colors. It's hypersaturated down in the depths, and when it's oxydized it changes colors.  The dark might be chloraphyl bacteria and the white -- it's hard to separate the bacteria and the worm, because in the sediment there's both. It's all about survival strategy and mutualism, and creating life forms to take it forward. 

 

© 2015 Steve Beddingfield  Algal or mold symbiot; algae as Trojan horse for Giant Sulphur Bacteria to hide inside. It's not easy to figure out which is which. The process is difficult and it moves and high speed so I can go to sleep and miss the separation. The massive nutrients and high temperatures they're used to, they move at high speed. So research can be done at super high speed. We retrieve stuff from these vents and instead of it taking months we see what is going on in days.  From dog poop, 2015. 

 

• Both are part of our chronic disease, one has an algal symbiot, obviously its the green one in pic. Algae can be a Trojan horse for GSB (giant sulphur bacteria) to hide inside. 

   

  (An astute group member comments: "GSB began to seize for their own interests!" 
• Another group member: Am I understanding that both clumps are GSB, but that the clump on the left has an algal symbiot pretty much covering the whole thing, and the clump on the right is beginning to grow an algal symbiot? By all means, tell me if I am straying, LOL ! I told y'all I have a lot of mediocre public school science (non) education to make up for.  Also, I thought the cyanobacteria played into algal growths - is that a factor here at all ?
•  
• Steve Beddingfield: Cyanobacteria holds algae, so it could be that GSB takes up both at the same time, it certainly does this to other organisms, such as hydrilla, Eurasian milfoil, bryophytes, lichens. GSB is a lithotroph, which means a eukaryote can take up a prokaryote as an endosymbiotic partner. GSB as a prokaryotic symbiot is able to leave the algal partner and remanifest itself without its lithotrophic symbiot.

 

   GSB and a water plant, likely milfoil or hydrilla. Both invasive species, milfoil is currently a big problem around The Great Lakes. The reason they're so invasive is the GSB is donating genetics so it's more alpha than it would be. It can withstand more dehydration. The fungi now, for instance, needs much less to grow. The species that can hold it back from taking over then are at a disadvantage.

© 2015 Steve Beddingfield: "100X, GSB is the white crystally looking things grown in my tiny laboratory. Note the glitter-like flakes of sulfite or sulfide mixed with bacteria. There will be some sort of organism that will grow from the ball object -- this is like the creation of the egg, which came first the chicken or the egg -- this is the egg, the egg came first. Is it making it's own polymerase, it sure looks like it." "It's a whole bunch of bacteria and it's getting ready to manifest this as fertilized eggs is what I see, he said. I know if you get one of those things on you, it's going to grow."  The cobalt blue aspect of Portugese Man of War and that type of thing from the ocean are then where Steve spins off the discussion from there. Zuids are a real big part of all this. This is just my opinion, I'm just someone here by myself looking around and figurin' things out ...."

 

 

© 2015 Steve Beddingfield: "GSB at 4X, GSB Taken With Cell Phone Cam; Grown on Dog Poop" (from a 'sick dog', he'd said later). 

 

Then July 3, 2015 this:

Here's the spores of GSB, the pink spheres are the same thing that was on top of ..... these have pulled out something else and they're pinkish orange. They're taking up materials they can turn into ___ (three letters) for energy. That's half clam or urchin that got it's genes in with it already.  The sphere lands on something and starts breaking it down.  It's also using carbon transport mechanims. The filaments are hollow inside and things are moving back and forth. And it's taking that dark object in the background and breaking it down. hey are performng lateral gene transfer.       These replicate by budding, just like yeast, where they have a daughter cell.

Does THAT get your attention?  I hope so.  Please consider taking the TIME and making this a priority to pour over what is presented at this topic on Lumigrate.  It has a lot of facets, it will take time to digest, so go away, come back, go on, keep at it.  Digest.  Form opinions.  Decide what YOU think, and then, as always, be proactive/ take action if you so desire. 

       

 

 When I got my "head in the game", Summer 2013, When This Occurred.

 My ankle, August 5, 2013 (did not 'go to the doctor, but I took a photo and sent it to an MD advisor on my YOU! team in 2013 who asked if it hurt or itched and thought it appeared to be shingles but it only itched like a mosquito bite 'level' and aside from the pain that was more in the tendon under, it wasn't 'painful' like what people with shingles I've known or heard of relate.  I'd been wearing jean-style pants that had gotten wet as I walked around in the overly watered grass and took photos of the massive chemtrails the night of 7/31/2013.  I knew I'd gotten a lot of mosquito bites that night and a day or two later realized I was itching the ankle and looked down and saw this. ... not mosquito bites.

I then communicated with a life-long local man to the area I was living who was middle aged and said every time he would ride bike out in the desert he'd get something like this, that summer (2013).  Not that I'm saying these are 'this or that', I'm just providing them as something that might spur people's thinking caps.  I know someone in Colorado who shortly after this had something appear on their neck and they went to the doctor and it was diagnosed as shingles and medication for shingles was prescribed. Symptoms reversed.  But my symptoms reversed too and I didn't do anything. So for what it's worth.... 

These photos, which I transferred here as soon as I saw them, 'resonated' with me --- I was reminded of something 'baffling' that occurred on my right ankle in early August of 2013, shortly after our first massive 'spray day' of geoengineering aircraft.  We had hundreds or maybe thousands, not just dozens. 

For the past month, it's been in the news, increasingly, that singer Jonie Mitchell was in ICU in Los Angeles, California.  She is known in the chronic illness community for having the Morgellons form of 'this stuff we all have'. It always helps when there's a recognizeable 'name' to 'go with a condition' that few people have heard of, such as Morgellons Disease (MD it is abbreviated).  

There is information about Morgellons in the Forums at Lumigrate from when I first learned of it in 2013, as part of my endeavors learning about geoengineering (weather modification, geo/world engineering takes many forms, there are many reasons for the program and it has much to do with what's causing problems on Earth. Again, what people see in their skin is less or more, and everyone has it -- we might just not realize we have it!  I remember hearing the first guy I saw on a YouTube video saying everyone has the stuff in them for causing Morgellons, that was in the fall of 2013 and I was still wondering about what had happened with my ankle (which had healed up, and it had made the underlying tendon very sore, as if I'd had a strain or sprain).

Later, as I'll elaborate here and elsewhere, Steve Beddingfield would say that cycstic acne is cyanobacteria, and in that he and the group conversed a lot about swimming holes, rivers, and I have not seen 'Morgellons patients' in Colorado in my years (that knew to say that was a symptom they had, at least), I had an 'aha moment' and realized that the cycstic acne that onset with me at age 20 and 3 months was perhaps tied to an urban quarry in Fort Collins filled with water that was used as a swimming hole which I went to once or twice.  

I recall thinking that there could be contaminants and I wasn't comfortable with swimming there.  If I remember correctly my future husband (also future ex husband within five years due to his drastic changes in behavior which I attributed to a close sibling dying that same year) was the connection to people who knew of the swimming hole and he wasn't a swimmer so between my gut and his fear of water, we didn't go back.  I've tried to confirm my timeline and my friends don't recall any such swimming hole so I'm pretty sure I'm right. Maybe I need to 'detective' my case and others' cases more than is necessary, but I do like to give good examples for the Lumigrate YOUsers.   

There's a whole subject unto itself with geoengineering which I encourage people study enough to understand it and have their opinions and to also then related facts to others (and carefully saying what's your opinion). The way I presented it on Lumigrate was very much like everything else --- YOU take responsibility for learning and then TAKING ACTION/Proactivity.  In the case of what Steve Beddingfield presents, taking action goes beyond the protocol for what you put into and onto your body, it includes how you clean your home other environments, and what you do to help the soils and plants around your home or where you have influence. 

This was a big undertaking for one layman. As he sought out people on Facebook, he got a circle of 'followers'. Some have taken it upon themselves to help produce documents that are in the Files that are the highlight information for this rather complex yet simple protocol.  Complex because it's making people re-think a LOT of things, and simple because, well, you'll see.  I hope I help to make it simple if you read from the top down on this topic. 

 I thought as an example I'd add in here something he put today (updating this April 3) relative to a conversation about probiotic use in dogs, yeast, etc. to demonstrate: 

"(First name of gal in conversation), yeast often gets misidentified.  It's cyanobacteria, and it looks like yeast, may even take up yeast genetics."  

(Mardy's note: "misidentified" had been written by him misid'd, which is part of the difficulty I had initially in Steve's Images was the shortcuts of keystrokes many people made, making it less easy to read. It is understandable, particularly when he's focusing on something he introduced and spelled out in the beginning, like giant sulphur bacteria, which then everyone starts abbreviating as GSB. Many of these people had long ago gotten into other protocols that use things that were abbreviated as well.

So what I transfer to put on Lumigrate I have attempted to make easier to read and take out that 'barrier' to learning so if people even get this under their belt before going into the group (if they're taking people as they do have to manage the size, so that is now a factor as well.  But I talked with Steve and have said here that anyone who cannot get into the group if they wish or just want to initially get ahold of me, I can hope to address that. Am I always going to be available? Maybe not.  But I will respond to any contact about this that I am aware of it, and as soon as possible. 

When the content is difficult as it is, then that makes it more difficult and will take more time to 'get up to speed'. I'm trying to prepare people for what they will encounter should they opt to ask to become a member of the group.  I hope this helps, and I hope that anything I've observed and comment on will serve to help the group leaders should they read it and want to take it into consideration for how to make things easier overall.  Just my opinions, naturally. For what it's worth.)

Many are aware of 'algae blooms' happening and being increasingly in the news.  Here's a synopsis of what you have in store: "The algae release Cyanobacteria which create a toxin, microcystin. Microcystin is a powerful toxin that can cause liver damage.  

(Source: myaquanui.com/2014/08/05/blue-green-algae-lake-erie/ -- which is a blog at the website of a US-made water distiller.  I have no information about this particular company, but I do know that one of the less expensive distillers made in China was said to have such poor grade stainless steel that it was rusting inside on a review I read when looking a bit into distillers for the home for someone I was helping in their home with how to apply the concepts presented at Lumigrate they wish to incorporate).  

So what you're going to find here is a LOT about cyanobacteria -- and water. And air. And soil.  And the interplay with other things.  Flat out, science is involved, but hopefully this will be presented in a way you can make sense of it enough.  People in the group repeatedly tell 'newbies' that they had to read things for months before they started figuring things out really, and looking at Steve's (and others) photographs.  He asks people to not post photographs so much in this group, he has another group page for that which he tells people about. 

With their permission and awareness, I'm providing highlights at Lumigrate, and you'll see in the 'ground rules' that I provide here so you know how Steve's Images operates, they say 'this is Steve's classroom'; I might venture to say he's the teacher and they are the student teachers who I've actually witnessed getting more capable with explaining things, supporting, being tough when needed, as this group does NOT run the way that a lot of groups on Facebook run. So people were coming into the group thinking this is like any other 'classroom' and finding out they have a teacher like my mother was.  

My mother taught at our local elementary school and wanted things kept to the basics that she wanted people to focus upon.  Steve (and his assistants) are doing their work in the way they find best for them as a team, but there are differences once you get to know the players.  So it's a group system in progress, know that going in. 

This is the best place to interject this on April 11, 2015: from the woman referred to as PosterGal, who I started interviewing last weekend for a NEW topic about this potentially history-making group and protocol / information.  Naturally, I'd started with Steve the end of the week before that, and he was helping a friend change a tire and then things got out of whack, he apologized and I was fine because there'd been a car crash and escape of the people at fault just after I'd communicated with him so I was with a slipped schedule too.

I turned to the initial woman who'd helped me the most and continues to as she has the same form of 'this stuff' as I have, moreso than PosterGal, and she was enjoying spring vacation so would be back to the computer more later.  THEN I proceeded to the other gal that's a leader who I'd formed a bond with one day just messaging and  got some information to use from her .. and mostly saw that there's a lot of 'spirit' in the group.  They have a sense this is a calling and very special and they put in way more time than they'd prefer because they feel the importance.  I'd done the same thing, this came to my attention at probably THE most busy time I've had in a long time.  But I made time to cover it as I felt it was ... what I needed to do. 

So here's the update from PosterGal, speaking for the group leadership: 

Due to our explosive growth recently and the amount of time it takes to teach the proper foundations and truth about 'our disease' as well as treatment this group will now be capped at 1750. We would kindly ask members not on the protocol or not interested in the protocol to leave the group. It was always our intention to a.) teach properly and b.) have a mini clinical trial.

This is proving impossible with those throwing in variables, those in other groups continuing down the wrong paths but coming back here to tell us what other people said or just the terminal lurkers waiting to see if this works or is just another 'disease group' to belong to. Due to the catastrophic impact the wrong treatments are having on our society at large, the continued destruction of our planet by those who are not aware of HABS or don't believe they are the primary cause of disease or source of chronic infection it is imperative that we teach properly, be effective in our outreach and effective in creating awareness.

We are not waiting for the white horse to save us but take our responsibility seriously in not wanting to add to internet pollution and the devastation caused by those who continue to throw out the word 'infection' but do not understand the type or nature of the 'infection' they are dealing with.

We hope that when this is taught properly the devastation can then be mitigated to a degree and new science and understanding can see its long over due genesis and awakening. It is long past time. This group is now capped at our present number of about 1750, we will weed as we see appropriate and perhaps lower the numbers further. No new members will be accepted.

Then people started commenting and saying 'Please don't get rid of me, this is where I'm at in this process', essentially.  And PosterGal said the following things, which I'm running together into one additional post here.  

If you are in, you are in, right? We just want you to learn properly about the nature of cyanobacteria, how the wrong treatments tipped you into a disease state and how to go about creating real change, that's all. And of course we want to hear. (Relative to someone asking about where to look to learn about cyanobacteria, she responds with the following: 

Google, there is tons of info out there. Learn the toxins associated with it. Learn how it reacts to threats. Learn from those working on solving the water treatment problems. Learn how it has been affecting us for 200 years now due to it's explosive growth. Learn the evolutionary ties that are key to solving this chronic disease. Learn endosymbiosis. 

We know those interested and those not, don't worry. Nobody is getting kicked out yet. Gotta go. Y'all might not see me much until Mon. or later. Daughter's birthday party. (Which is the first PosterGal's been well enough to throw for her child, and she's a married-to-the-father mom, who is her business partner and he'd had to bear the burden of so much more with the workload not only for their business but their home work as she had been with vision impairments and significant physical impairments commensurate with what people often experience with what gets diagnosed in conventional labeling of things as MS/multiple sclerosis.)

SO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN THE PROTOCOL WHILE THEY ARE NOT TAKING NEW MEMBERS, CONTACT ME ON FACEBOOK or via the other means you find at the home page of Lumigrate on the About me topic .. and I'll go from there.  I have spoken with Steve about this and between them and me, I'm sure we'll be able to accommodate whatever people find their way to us due to this topic.  Thank you in advance.

ALSO, a group mate, Terry Hamil, did this work on the protocol and posted it to his blogsite (PDF link), with these words (and Steve was appreciative and said it showed his dedication to this information and process to help people learn of it)(problem is people need places to go for asking questions and shepherding...).

So let me also tell you this --- you can venture into other groups on Facebook and find people who are not fans of Steve, his research and teaching methods, and the protocol he's created to reverse symptoms of everything from A to Z. Some say it reminds them of historical figures who had a group of women blindly following the men off a proverbial cliff. Others say they just can't believe what he has come up with and what they profess --- that Lyme isn't what we were lead to believe Lyme was.  This means people have to accept that what they've thought was reality might not be, and with their very damaged brains fueled with the importance of finding solutions to what ails them, they sometimes are not the most healthy of people emotionally, mentally and physicially.  This has been the difficulty I've encountered helping guide people to information since 2007, first live and then on the Internet. 

I spent a great deal of time observing the group's information and interactions in the later part of 2014. You'll notice that the "Files" section, if you chose to go and are accepted into the group, had nothing in them before the end of October 2014.  I remember seeing in my 'feed' on Facebook, new threads Steve would start with new photos, and paying attention and not really seeing how anything was connecting to anything else.  But then, just before the end of the year, I saw a woman posting link after link after link about fenbendazole, clearly angry at the medical and science community.  Nobody that's as sick for as long as the chronically ill who have taken things upon themselves to study and find ways to reverse symptoms is unaware of the corruption and having that 'aha moment' at this stage of the game, I thought to myself.  What's up? So I tuned in. 

What I came to believe is that  it's possible they've found 'the major root cause' of our declining wellness levels with everything from A to Z.  What convinced me was when one of the group members did her homework around Christmastime and uncovered a trail of patents for chemicals of similar molecular structure to the patented chemical, fenbendazole, used in Steve's Protocol .

Fenbendazole, more readily referred to as 'fenben', is marketed for use in livestock, and is sold now even in WalMart. Other groups and individuals were promoting the use of 'fenben',  but Steve had bundled it with other things based on his research over the years, such as red reishi mushroom and an emphasis on cleaning the environment that your body is exposed to -- water, air, surfaces (which influence air).  Since this tends to be the 'holdup' to people wrapping their heads around the information of the protocol --- veterinary medicine available over the counter -- I'm going to include this one abstract summary 'right up front'; you'll see much more about fenbendazole below. 

Benzimidazole: A short review of their antimicrobial activities

Namrata Singh, Annamalai Pandurangan, Kavita Rana, Preeti Anand, Arsad Ahamad, Amit Kumar Tiwari

Abstract

Benzimidazole is the heterocyclic compound formed from benzene and imidazole ring containing nitrogen, oxygen sulphor and its derivatives are of wide interest because of their diverse biological activity and clinical applications, they are remarkably effective compounds both with respect to their inhibitory activity and their favourable selectivity ratio.

Reported nucleus is a constituent of vitamin-B12. Benzimidazoles are regarded as a promising class of bioactive heterocyclic compounds that exhibit a range of biological activities like anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer activity, numerous anti-oxidant, anti-parasitic, anti-helmintics, anti-proliferative, anti-HIV, anti-convulsant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-neoplastic, proton pump inhibitor and anti-trichinellosis.

Benzimidazoles exhibit significant activity as potential antitumor agents, smooth muscle cell proliferation inhibitors, a treatment for intestinal cystitis, and in diverse area of chemistry. Some of the important benzimidazole derivatives have been reported as thyroid receptor agonist gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor antagonists, non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors and interestingly alkynylbenzimidazoles as modulators of metabotropic glutamate receptors.

The imidazole core is a common moiety in a large number of natural products and pharmacologically active compounds. The synthesis of novel benzimidazole derivatives remains a main focus of medicinal research. This comprehensive overview summarizes the chemistry of different derivative of substituted benzimidazole along with their anti-microbial activity containing anti-malarial anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral activities.

 Furthermore, a little comment that is made by one of the main 'tutor/leaders' in the group breaks it down in a conversation this way; 

...what makes benzimidazoles work as anti microbials and anti tumorals, etc. targeting 'conserved mechanism' is also the reason it works against viral replication and is a completely different approach to anti viral drug development. One that works.

....

I have posted patents on here on many viruses, cytomegalovirus was one of the first that benzimidazoles have shown to be effective against along with influenza. That patent list now includes EBV, HPV, Hep A B and C. I have much more on viruses and benzimidazoles, but only recently began to read them. I did not think it would be relying on ftsz like algae, plants and bacteria do, but I have only found that somehow most are also relying on conserved mechanisms.           I'll pass on more as I learn how and why and exactly what conserved mechanisms. I have much more on this. The research is there, it has opened new doors in drug development and is very exciting to know there is already tons of research out there in such a short time.

The red reishi component of the protocol, at the time I was 'tuning in' early in 2015, was being related to the group's leading lady educator, who it turned out was 'growing into her new shoes'/role, as being simply an immune system modulator, meaning if yours was hypo it would rev it up, if it was hyper it would bring it down. She was showing people her process in that she had focused on the fenbendazole initially, gleaned and absorbed and had the 'aha' about that, and then went on to the next thing.  Taking a BUNCH of members with her 'on her coat tails' so to speak. 

Then people were looking more into the reishi aspect and overall medicinal mushrooms OR the patent on something to use in agriculture which is from mushrooms, which will be able to replace toxic chemicals such as produced by Monsanto, DuPonte, etc.  There was a share of a topic about Paul Stamets and that patent he'd gotten. I'd just called his company, Host Defense, and spoke with them because it was a brand available at a store I regard highly for quality but the brand was not one that the protocol or leaders were 'talking up' and guiding people to.  Essentially, perhaps, Steve had tried some brands and told people what he liked best and that is what was being offered as suggestions.  I wanted to provide Lumigrate's YOUsers a little different dimension on the mushrooms because of my regard for the way Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage finds products and scrutinizes, backed up by what I learned and had as customer support when I called the number they offer PLUS the information online they directed me to.  Which I direct YOU to. 

In early 2015, that aspect of the information available in the group grew, due to the contributions of the women who were clearly respectful of this being Steve's information, but working hard to create supportive documents and information in order to help educate others. I've interviewed a few of them, and Steve, and will continue to interview some of the administrators/ assistants in the group and bring the information to this topic at Lumigrate.

This has reminded me of the man who figured out about what he called Educational Kinesiology, which later was branded with the more-known Brain Gym.  He was found by women who were able to take the information he saw and spoke to educate, and turn it into readable information for being sold to the public and used in trainings, and now is on the Internet in various ways (for free or otherwise).  The information is, as of this updating in early April, more complete and a new learner set out yesterday to study after contacting me looking for where to turn with their health crash -- someone I'd gotten to know from Facebook last year and had started advising a bit about where to look for education. It was neat to get the messages after where she was sharing her thought process about what she was learning and re-thinking her health history and considering how cyanobacteria theory would fit with that.   

I want to emphasize, there's the emphasis on CLEAN WATER, and beyond that, of ozonating water and dry items that would carry a lot of these 'interlopers' with them.  Flour, for example. The ozone machines can remove a lot of things from water and therefore help to clean the water, but it also can be consumed just after ozonation and the oxygenated water molecules then have the influence on the things in the mouth and digestive tract from there. 

Here's a comment from one of the "et al.'s" as I call them, the women who became administrators and extensions of the teaching of Steve's information as they progressed over time to understand and be able to advise. They're known on Facebook as 'admins' but in this group, they are something else.  Really unique people that I've so-far spoken with to 'interview', and they're such a great 'team' together and really solid feeling to me.  This gal's particularly into teamwork, agreeing to be interviewed but requesting nothing be written up until they all agree that is okay but I will say that a common theme they each independently brought up to me individually in the interviews focused on their spiritual angle of their work with this.  But the they also know this type of of 'data' information:

"Unless your filter goes down to .015 micron, you're not getting it out of your water. 

 

Distiller and R/O alone don't always either. The top two ways to get rid of cyano in your water is 1. Ozone 2. UV light. The main function of the ozone generator is to purify your pre-filtered or pre-processed water. (And secondly to clean food items) If you choose to use it to do active ozone water treatments that is your choice. A big part of the protocol is to decrease the amount of pathogens you take in. You can hopefully do this by treating your water and food items. "

Later another one of the et al.'s had specified that if a person ozonates water that has minerals in it, they oxidize.  "Let's not be drinking rust, people" she said (and that would be just the iron oxidized).  But they're having to do a lot of hand-holding in conversations because they're so new they didn't get all the questions together that people typically have related to these components of the protocol and I forsee they will have better information to put out (which I can then put on Lumigrate as they're not being proprietary at all, they want this information to reach YOU / people!).  So for now, I weave it into this topic thread for those who are using this as a resource for learning. 

The last component of Steve's Protocol is about magnesium (to keep the exiting of feces going, as a main side effect from the fenbendazole's actions in the gut with the interlopers is people can become sluggish or stoppish with their elimination, which is naturally very important to not have happen as the toxins just get reabsorbed into the body in the colon).  

AND then a little about vitamin D was part of what Steve was initially presenting, as it's an important part of the immune system functioning properly and overall wellness. However, that has dropped off from the focus as time went on and they were collectively getting the information pulled together to present to people with more ease for the newcomers and the old timers shepherding them. But you'll see it included in what I provide below directly from their protocol information.  

I'd long covered vitamin D at Lumigrate and it alone has been a tricky thing to advise people about relative to their education -- they tend to not hear that "it's really a hormone not a vitamin" and it's important people THINK ABOUT it was named the wrong way in the past before things were known that are more accurate.  

So, perhaps think about how this translates to the situation with this information and things that you've believed to be the reality / truth and now the shift in thinking has to occur.  Relearning. So I've left the Vitamin D information in here for this reason.  Think about how we typically know today about vitamin D's rampant deficiencies that have gone hand in hand with the rates of illness going up across the board in things 'from A to Z' --- with 'this stuff' that is what we all have. But remember when it was you became aware of vitamin D deficiency.  

For me it was 2008/9 that the medical doctor whose clinic I'd helped get off the ground was learning about it relative to chronic pain and complex conditions so was testing those patients and finding it being 'epidemic'. So he started suggesting to the patients coming to him for other things (as he got into esthetics -- Botox, laser skin care and body sculpting), and they, too, frequently had low vitamin D levels.  One patient was a man who worked outside all day in sunny western Colorado even ... who should have been able to be making plenty of D from the sun exposure.  

My next provider was more extensively versed in chronic conditions (longer experience in that niche) and I was tested and despite taking ample amounts in capsules, was deficient.  I was educated at that time about the uptake from the mucosa versus the intestines and added a drop form to my regimen and finally had my D levels right where the experts told me they should be.  But then along comes new information about D and you're back to having to study more about it to find out what YOU believe to be the right answer. 

Steve had a tendency which I have seen shift in the time I've been observing and participating, as he was new to having people learning from him, perhaps, to tell people what to do.  Just take my advise and do as I say and just do it and don't delay was the basic message.  I obviously wouldn't jive with this approach, if you know the Lumigrate YOU model is based on YOU doing the work to LEARN enought about WHY to consider doing something or NOT, then forming your opinion and THEN take action. The women helping him who had done the protocol or portions of it and were having good results so far were a good balance in my opinion. Without their leadership in the group that he was clearly facilitating, I'd not have been creating this topic and suggesting people go to the group for support.  

Sometimes I've seen them not handle things the way I would, and then come back to this topic and modify it so that the YOUsers going to the website are going to have had my preparation and input.  I was nipped diplomatically by an admin who was perhaps with too little time and energy at that moment for the influx of new people who were needing to be 'shaped up' with the information presented as they do. I had tried to ask a question publicly that would help those who felt nipped at to see what the information was they were trying to relate, because I was seeing that there was misunderstanding about what a Herxheimer / 'Herx' reaction was versus a healing crisis.  So there are a LOT of fundamental concepts that everyone has to study and ideally 'get on the same page' together in order for this to operate smoothly. 

Some of the nicest, most intelligent, funniest women I've seen on Facebook were leaders in the group by the time it was winter 2014 and New Years 2015. And Steve can be very humorous too! They were a wealth of information and support to people, myself included, and I had a sense that this was something worth covering at Lumigrate. So here it is. For what it's worth.  YOU do the work as they did, as I did, and decide for yourself, but at least I've made it easier for YOUsers of Lumigrate to get the basic information and concepts via this topic thread. 

Caution: It's best to get your heads wrapping around that you're going to be expected there, similar to with Lumigrate's 'overlapping conditions' concepts here, to just see us as all having the SAME thing (basically).  Stop identifying with that you have autism (pediatric or adult), or addiction, of Alzheimers ... or allergies to foods with those being totally different than cancer which is different than dystonia which is different than fibromyalgia or OCD, Parkinsons or ........ Zebra disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is known as 'the zebras' due to each one having unique 'stripes' but they're all basically the same thing (an equine animal with stripes).   

They're helping 'the ripple effect' to occur using their talents which included putting together information for the masses that have heard about the group (some here at Lumigrate or from me live), and shepherding people's questions, then providing support and guidance is what this topic is all about.

There were about 500 people in the group in the fall of 2014 when I was invited by Steve to join, there are currently (Early April 2015) about 1,600. I noticed that the number of reads of this topic  were going up exponentially with 1,000 reads in the last month, making this on track to be our most highly read topic on Lumigrate of all time.  Therefore, I will be 'tending to it' for updates. 

It is a composite that has yielded a uniquely interesting and helpful group on Facebook for those having an interest in the environment and 'environmental illness' OR 'environmental wellness' as I like to present it as at Lumigrate; what's making people and animals and all things be well or NOT.  

Much of the information I create in recent years has been put into the 'environmental wellness / illness' forum at Lumigrate, so please look to that area as well if you're so inclined. 

The photograph below, taken by Steve, is an example he sent me on 3/3/15 to show YOUsers of Lumigrate what I mean about his abilities with photographing microscopic things, and  for now I will leave it up to the imagination what this might be.  Perhaps you'll find "Steves Images" on Facebook a place you're welcome and will find information and support.

There's a new trend, it seems, where laypeople with an interest and gifts for looking at geo sciences, health sciences, etc. come up with things that advance our functional knowledge by leaps and bounds.  Naturally, there is also the risk that what a professional or amateur comes up with will lead to digression --- I can attest to many medical doctors I've paid with insurance and copayments or with 100% pay out of pocket given me advise that I acted upon which was harmful to me.  Ultimately it was I who chose to take the action that was suggested.  Did I change to getting information from other providers? Yes.  Did I 'blame them' for any problems that resulted?  Maybe initially --- some of them were such huge lapses of judgment and knowledge for someone with the qualifications they stated having that it was actually unbelievably bad they had offered the advise that I took.  Hence, many years later, I'm inclined to think that it's best to do a LOT more research than you would likely wish to do in an ideal world, and decide for yourself what you're going to act upon.  

As I've related, above, with the Steve's Images group, I put in a lot of time after encountering Steve at a Lyme page at Facebook to get to know the leadership in the group (all women), and to watch the group's content consistently.  At Christmas and New Years 2014/2015 I felt there was something I simply could not miss covering at Lumigrate related to what they were producing for information in the 'fund of knowledge' on Facebook and the Internet in general, AND I started doing my work to prepare to create the topic you see here.

I have updated the information on this topic when I was aware they were updating information in the group, but I am sure I was not catching everything --- they have a team effort there --  many hands grabbing oars now and creating wonderful content.  So I'm going to simply provide the essentails and highlights here in this topic and  encourage people to go to the group if interested; as you see, I give the links, below.

They'll likely keep adding things and I'll not transfer them all here, this is intended as another resource for them to send people to if it helps them learn the information, particularly while they get grouped up on their information and leadership for assisting learners. 

I hope to know of significant updates and be adding the highlights here for the Lumigrate YOUsers.  I cover so many different aspects about mind, body, spirit ... functional medicine .... biological medicine .... My intentions with my topics and links are to help guide the YOUsers to resources I think are likely good for them to consider studying in depth AND might otherwise not find! Steve's Images is certainly that!

One of the group leaders created this in early March (2015) and it's a wonderful overview of what the group 'is about', the expectations and etc.  They might update these, naturally, so please refer to the group if you're going to the group.  I'm just providing this information here for our YOUsers at Lumigrate in order to connect more people to what might be THE information that someone is seeking.

WELCOME TO STEVE'S IMAGES

This is a group to share the research of Steve Beddingfield. Steve’s work is based on his own recovery, his microscopic images and his unrelenting research into the root cause of disease. Steve provides this information along with other known research to help people understand the true mechanism and driver behind chronic disease with remedies that can heal us and leave behind the contemporary idea of single germ warfare. That driver, he has discovered, is cyanobacteria from Hazardous Algae Blooms (HABS) as activated by a fungal component. We are working on updating the files, please take the time to read what has been gathered in the FILES section, search existing posts, and read the comments already logged. Steve has put together a protocol based on seven years of research and experience helping sufferers of algal poisoning.

This group has three main purposes:
1. Sharing scientific research on the root cause of chronic disease, illnesses and disorders.
2. Offering information on protocol options for recovery.
3. Supporting basic questions and concerns of those actively engaged in healing using this protocol as described in the FILES.

We welcome all who want to learn and share this valuable information to help themselves and others.

Basic Ground Rules

1.This is Steve’s classroom: Approach this group as if you were in one. He likes to teach what he has discovered with the hopes that we can heal and in turn, help others. We are all guests here. Steve and fellow researchers or experienced group members may answer questions and help guide people to a new understanding. Try to be patient with yourselves and the group. It isn’t always easy to comprehend.

2. This is not a “kitchen sink” approach: This group is not an open forum free for all. If you aren’t familiar with the protocol, please refrain from giving out extraneous advice or theories. Sometimes what we think might be helpful may not be once we understand the root cause of disease and why this protocol is recommended over others. It is ok to make thoughtful and kind suggestions but be aware it might not fit with this model of healing. Sometimes we all learn new things by taking a risk though, so use your discretion. But keep in mind we like to keep things as simple as possible.

3. Steve’s photos: These are a big part of his research. You won’t always get an immediate explanation, but it is relevant to his theory. Please do not share personal photos unless you have Steve’s permission. Send him your photos in private message and he will post if appropriate. We want to make sure the page stays clear and on point for learning. There is another page for sharing amateur microscopic photos called ‘Small Stuff Microscopy’ on Facebook. Steve and other members are a part of thas group. Please join if interested, even if you don’t have a scope.

4. The nature of the disease: You may see and hear about symptoms and expulsions from the body you have never seen or heard of before. Not all on the protocol experience the same path to recovery, nor do we all have the same exact symptoms with the same pathogenic triggers. Please be sensitive to other members about the validity of their claims and experiences. One of the gifts of this discovery is that it has given valid scientific explanations to many who have been branded crazy for the horrors they have endured for years on end. Many of us were not believed that we were sick at all or were damaged by treatments that were meant to heal or help. We try to keep a supportive attitude towards members stories and remember we are all on the same side here to provide a safe place for learning and healing.

5. Google more: Do your own research and bring back what you find. New articles and research that support this theory (or seem related) are always helpful and encouraged as they are great teaching tools.

6. Read the files more than once: This is a great way to reabsorb information. Some of the links are VERY scientific, revisiting them every once in while can’t hurt.

7. Open your mind: Steve’s research turns everything upside down and on its head, so to speak. Many of us are attached to our labels and diagnosis, our co-infections and our genetic defects. Most of this matters little here. You may experience anger, disbelief, confusion, hostility, loneliness or just feel a little lost at times. Sometimes it is harder to unlearn than it is to learn. We have been taught and told many things that now seem to be simply not true. In order to heal we may have to do some extra research or have a lot of faith, or both. We are our own healers. Please be kind to yourself during this process. This information is offered freely. You can choose to believe or not believe. And it is your choice what you do with the information provided.

Thank you for being here.

- Be kind. No Profanity. No Soliciting, including petitions or fundraising.
- Members who block an admin forfeit the privilege of participation.
- You can be removed anytime if your behavior is deemed hostile or troll-like.
- Posts can be removed if they get off topic, seem confusing to the basic theory or get too argumentative.

DISCLAIMER: Members of Steve’s Images are not qualified to diagnose, treat, or offer medical advice in place of your own research, and/or that of your practitioner. Members must be 18 years or older.

 MARDY'S NOTE: I think I'd like to change that to YOU decide what YOU are going to do after YOU spend the TIME and ENERGY (no MONEY involved learning here BUT then if you get into DOING things with the water, ozonator, reishi, fenben there's $ involved BUT not NEARLY as much as what we've all spend on other things we looked forward to helping us if we 'put our resources into it'.  Again, The Lumigrate YOU! Model ---

What is the protocol? Here it is, prepared into this wonderful graphic by the woman I call PosterGal, who is one of the group leaders.  She's the reason I 'tuned in' at Christmastime 2014, because she was bombarding the group with new links and insights / interpretations of the links that were essentially her due diligence after using elements of the protocol with her self and family (human and pets) and seeing remarkable changes consistent with what others before her, also in the leadership realm of the group, had reported.  

This was provided by Mary to me directly in mid March (2015) as the most current version:

As well as this more 'written out' version:

 

WHY I Took Notice and Wanted to Include This Info: What the People Said!

Here's a smattering of what I was reading in the Steve's Images group, which made me take note AND take action in providing it at Lumigrate:  

Feb 15, I'm going to include something new that was posted in Steve's Images earlier today and I got the permission of the woman who wrote it to anonymously post what she said here: 

 

 Then in the evening the next day, I found this on the thread which I think was worth transferring here and the writer, a woman from the PNW of the US, gave me permission: 

I've been doing this since the 15th of November and I can tell you my gut is fine. Lol. I've also been taking probiotics and digestive enzymes. And not sure if you've seen the crazy pics I've posted here before, black and sometimes brown slime, worms of all sizes, other stuff that looks like white spaghetti floating in a way resembling algae or seaweed. Weird. Anyhow I haven't seen all that nightmarish gunk in over two weeks. Thank God, thank Steve, thank Mary and thank you Reishi and Fenbendazole .

February 23, a science-minded person I know of via FB fairly well challenged Steve a bit in the group.  This is someone who also has the symptoms of Morgellons.   Basicaly the science-minded woman/gal with the Morg form was saying that where she's not connecting with the information is things that he'll identify as something and in her mind they're not what he's identified them to be.  

A leader in the group among the handful of women who have been very much part of the success, so far, of the group, offered this response: "I can understand your frustration. I did my best to eat healthy and remained sick, while my hubs ate McD's and was very unaffected by it.                                                                                                                                                                                             I have Ehler's Danlos (EDS, which is a connective tissues disorder most likely brought on by epigenetics - environmental causes screwing up our genes. I reacted poorly to vaccines as a child, had near life-long neuro problems, and consequently had a child that suffered from autism.  Steve's protocol has cleared up almost all of my lingering health issues.                                                                                                                                                                                               The best part though is that my son no longer has any signs of autism. Fenben has given my son his life back. We still have EDS but are managing a hell of a lot better now. When we started, there wasn't even a protocol written up. I researched everything about fenben. I listened to the group about cyanobacteria and investigated that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     I already knew from a liver cleanse that I was infested with monsters. Steve identified the red roll ups as Bryophyte and I investigated that. I ordered the fenben. I stared at the bottle for a few weeks and then tested it out on my dogs. My dogs improved greatly! I then tried it on myself and I improved.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Check the files (in Steve's Images group on FB) for my son's OAT results. His first test is horrible and I was told that my then-15 year old had the energy of an old man at the end of his life. Yeah, that bad! One year later, his second OAT (after a little over a month on fenben) improved dramatically."

The Potency of Facebook by 2014

It seemed like in 2014 I somehow found my way on Facebook to be connected with some particularly interesting groups with people who had done tons of work, were very dedicated, supportive and sincere.  I think that last part might be the most refreshing of the qualities.  I had spoken with someone today about complex chronic illness, inflammation and pain, and they were particularly interested in this aspect because they had formal education in science that had lead them to looking into a lot of the same things that I was bringing into our on-the-fly discussion.  

That's sometimes how it goes with being into this type of consumer education, you think you're going to go for a walk in the afternoon warmth in our 'January thaw' and instead you encounter someone that makes you think that the timing of how we came to meet and talk was clearly one of the important things of the day.  The numbers of people who are aware that conventional medicine is not solving issues in many cases continues to grow and it's just a new thing to learn how to connect with resources to help.  So I'm glad to help. 

I thought I'd create a topic at Lumigrate early in 2015 and credit Steve and his work, get the protocol mirrored here so it's in another place on the Internet, and then build supportive information that I'd want YOUsers of Lumigrate to be able to find IN ADDITION TO going to his Facebook group page and looking at the Files link and all the other resources and using that for a source of support and if there are any questions.  They're the experienced ones, I'm a messenger and "newbie" for this particular information.  (Some in the group have been opposed to the term "newbie" but I personally like it.)   

But it's fascinating and I would imagine after people have had a chance to participate in the group there might be even more people who are going to be giving this stuff a whirl. I have a sense this might just be 'wellness history in the making'!

And I had a front row ground level seat to it, so wanted to help our YOUsers who find Lumigrate in the various ways be able to have the opportunity to see it unfold as well, and consider if it's something they want to look further into, discuss with their team YOU!, and go from there. 

As I understand and remember 'his story', Steve became ill at some point --- the manifestations vary in symptoms, but generally we're all with the same underlying causes for the various illnesses, is the premise of what he came to understand and profess: which parallels what occurred with many people who looked at the symptoms of the various 'labels' assigned by mainstream medicine. MS. Morgellons. Fibromyalgia. Chronic Fatigue. "The Overlapping Conditions" was coined somewhere along the lines (On Lumigrate, look for Fibromyalgia Network as the FM nonprofit resource we suggest becasue of their use of the overlapping model among other things (such as not taking funding aside from membership money).   

He had the Morgellons symptoms with skin lesions -- I've been shocked at some photos where it shows how many lesions he'd had in one part of his body, I think it was a forarm or something.  Anyway, the right equipment, skills, and mostly brains and interest in being a medical detective lead Steve to get onto something that a lot of long-term researchers due to having chronic illness .. and kids with chronic illenss ... have gotten into and are supporting. Some are admins with him on the group it appears, but I actually didn't ever become aware of who admins were --- it just was a very peaceful, no drama group from everything I saw. There are currently about 800 people, I don't recall how many there were when I joined in the late summer or fall of 2014, but I've seen a lot of people saying "I'm new here, help me figure this out please" and there are always people who swoop gently in and help. 

This is a 2009 report from an organization focusing on the complex chronic conditions.  This link will take you to where you can clock on the link for a PDF, where they start out shooting from the hip explaining how one researcher studying cyanobacteria in the US died of autoimmune, her lab partner died of liver cancer; pfeisteria was named after her. A pioneer in cyano and HABS. Worth the read to see pathways affected and more. wink emoticonhttp://www.ncf-net.org/library/BlueGreenAlgalToxins.htm

I shared this link ^ on Facebook and STRONGLY advised anyone who eats, drinks and breathes to go and read this, it's very well done! 24 pages... From 2009 .. it's one of those that makes you think 'where have I been? This was out in 2009, why did it take five or so years to reach my eyes? Well, I wanted it to reach YOU so here it is! 

Preface to Acting Upon The Protocol

Some observations and thoughts from me or others who have studied, researched, experienced this with self or children longer than I, before you get into the protocol's information.  My initial impression with Steve's 'method' was to not ease into it. Start as much of the protocol at once as you could afford to do or had time to obtain the things, energy, etc. That did not appeal to my sense of things.  It would seem like that's like throwing three balls up in the air and once and starting to juggle.  So where to start became the question.  

I wanted to see what was discussed in the group from those doing some or all of the protocol.  It was clear right away that this was going to have much to do with the elimination pathway of the colon.  So I asked the local colon hydrotherapist who I have a connection to for many years now if she'd heard of anyone in Grand Junction, Western Colorado area coming to her talking about fenben or red reishi and algae / cyanobacteria.  She had not. 

I figure this might be when her business really gets another level of busy, if word gets around about this and people start trying it.  I met Janelle Marin after she'd presented at the integrative medicine center way back in 2009 I believe it was. She was brand new, and working for someone who had started a new colon hydrotherapy business in Grand Junction, which she now owns.  I saw that she was just super talented as a speaker and clearly intelligent, centered, and I really liked her.  

But I wasn't quite ready for something as 'far out of the box' as colon hydrotherapy to be on Lumigrate or associated with our local networking group I started in 2009 at the request of a high-up-MD in the conventional medicine organizations around here so that they can meet the people to be referring to.  

The insurance-based providers basically network at the hospital on who to refer to, so they don't know of the various types of providers let alone which ones they'd want to recommend.  So this is finally the time when I feel it's important to bring colon hydrotherapy into the content at Lumigrate. 

Because the fenben has quite an effect on the intestines and colon and people's major difficulty with this protocol is elimination from the GI tract.  Not 'herxing' and 'detoxing / flu-like symptoms' like I'd learned about almost a decade ago when first learing from Dr Lepisto, the local naturopathic doctor (who was in the first layer of provider experts on Lumigrate in 2008-2010), about detoxification.  

I wasn't able to do chelations under his guidance until I had some things straightened out with my organs used in expelling toxins, and I had work to do on both my kidney health and my intestinal/ colon health.  And in 2007 I did successfully get a lot of mercury and other heavy metals chelated and out of my body before feeling like I literally hit a wall and was with the fatigue and fog and flu-like symptoms associated with not having detoxification pathways opened up enough for what you were needing to detoxify.  

I only, on my own, in 2014 learned about pyroluria, and then MTHFR gene mutation and methylation issues from there, and the importance those who educate on that facet present about supplementation and in particulare the form of folate in a supplement (and in the diet you'll get a form that is okay/good, it's the folic acid added to the vast majority of supplements that can really mess you up IF you're one of the MANY people today with the MTHFR gene mutations, per the experts in this new, emerging field 'outside the box' of health care.  

This must be done with a person having a team around them to help them with the process and issues that might come up.  That can mean a naturopath 'remotely' or who you can see face to face. That might include a colon hydrotherapist as well or you might start there.  The group for Steve's Images reinforces the mineral that can loosen up your stool when you take more than your tolerance for it, one of the forms of magnesium.  

I know that Dr Lepisto had been a big proponent of psylium, and not the kind with the artificial flavors and colors that is sold by BigBusiness at a big price, it can be obtained very inexpensively in health food stores or websites.  Naturally some people insist on organics on everything and others do not so you need to be making those decisions as well.  Dr Lepisto had said (and this was in our detox and cleanse video and powerpoint of his from 2008/9 when we launched) that 10% of people are allergic to psyllium, same as people can react/ be sensitive / allergic to anything.  So all the things that go into 'gut health' need to be considered.  Fermented foods, probiotics, and on and on.  

Steve says probiotics make your stools get bound up and I don't know that is correct necessarily, I think the probiotics aid in making the biosphere in the gut better and that leads to a more cohesive stool.  But for the short time on this protocol, he ends up saying in his group (and not in the protocol, hence my concerns about this protocol not being complete enough and people need to go to the group for added information and support) that people shouldn't take probiotic.  These are things people have to look into, think about and talk to their desired and selected health care professionals about. 

This is what someone has suggested, and it resonated for me with what I was thinking from the beginning about starting the balls to juggle one at a time or two at a time and then adding in... Distilled water (bottled) using ozonater (which will get out any toxins from the plastic bottle) and RRM (red Reishi mushrooms) to start, then add fenben in 1 month.  

I inquired with this person (who is very knowledgeable and one of the major and experienced 'mentors' in the group) about supplementing for pyroluria / pyrrole disorder, KPU, whichever term one wishes to use.  I feel some people need it simple and they want to buy the least number of things and have the least 'process', so Dr Klinghardt's "Core" supplement has all the stuff in the right balance for people who have pyroluria (which, again, is complicated to learn about and safely address so get nutritional advisors and I have topics on Lumigrate that provide those, use the Search bar ... ).  

Or a person can add the right amounts of what he puts in a little pill or capsule into water.  Hydroxy cobalamine, P5P, D3, plus K2 ....  and then zinc (which has to be taken separately, listen to Klinghart's information or read what I've transcribed from the interview's pertinent information.  It's readable and you can then skim over what's typed out and then find the minutes into the video you want to go watch / listen.  

 

THE PROTOCOL

I edited the protocol to make it easier to read, visually, for imparied brains and on a couple of words.  

Example, whomever prepared it used "traditional" instead of "conventional" medicine in a sentence where he/she clearly meant conventional / allopathic, a common mistake even with medical providers. Traditional medicine is what we had long ago, traditionally handed down through the generations. But most people don't understand what "allopathic" is, so I used the more-known 'conventional', though that just means what most people are doing now, so that's obviously changing and then I really took to the use of the words 'organized, mainstream' because that's what the allopathic system is, it's organized, mainstreamed to the masses. 

I knew what was meant, and figured the least I could do when taking something he has said information is for sharing is to make a version of it that would be available to utilize by him or others which has the slight improvements that I could offer.  If they are considered that, naturally.  

Thanks to Steve and those who have helped him with his group's resources with the 'fund of knowledge' we have available to us and for his generosity of wanting the information to reach out where it may. (i.e.:
no problem, use what you want, get the information out there to help people ...) Thanks to all who have made Lumigrate possible and being found by increasing numbers of people.... like the protocol here -- it's slow going but it is growing all the time. 

FOR HISTORY'S SAKE .. IF people want to compare and see the trail of how things progressed, here's "Steve’s Images – The (Original) Protocol" (which preceeded what is above).  

-- so YOUsers at Lumigrate can see how these activists / researchers / educators have been going about things from the time I 'tuned in', to current (and current will naturally be at the Steve's Images group page, I'm just transferring highlights to this thread at Lumigrate. 

SEE THE LATEST PROTOCOL VERSION AT THE LINK IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE LINE ^, this original is just for reference and seeing how things evolved and show that it's going to be still evolving and people adapting it for themeselves IF they study and chose to do this. 

On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/stevesimages/

This is a group for healing chronic illness of all kinds. Everyone is different but this protocol seems to help everyone. Go slow. Be patient. Listen to your body. Ask questions and for help from other members who are on this journey with you.

Steve is working hard in the field photographing, in the labs growing and enlarging microscopic specimens and cataloging various aspects of the cyanobacterial world and its bedfellows. This is a slightly divergent take on traditional disease theory but one he is supporting with documented evidence. Some of that evidence is shared in this group and we will add links to supporting research as we find it.

For now, this is the basic protocol that is helping a diverse number of people feel better. Many of these people have tried MANY other treatments and protocols before arriving here. This is NOT to replace the advice and care of your regular physician or care givers. This information should be used with wisdom and discretion.

1. 1ml of fenbendazole per 50 pounds, increasing with tolerance based on personal observation and discretion.

Dose every day for 4-8 weeks, taking a break for a few days or week as needed. Then dose a week on and a week off up to six months. If you are particularly sick, you may not want to take a break at all. This is up to you. But be prepared to dose for up to six months to really see and notice the benefits. Many need to go slower or may go faster. Dosing and pacing varies. Some large men take 2-6x this dosage with no problems. Go up if you do not notice any detox symptoms or back down if uncomfortable. Learn to listen to your body.

Expect to see and feel many symptoms of detox including but not limited to foul smelling stool, parasites, black tarry, mossy or unusual stool, cramping, gas, pain due to gas or blockages from material being expelled, eruptions on the skin, headaches, tinnitus, etc…most symptoms disappear within days or weeks with periodic flares as healing progresses. Over time, symptoms are noticeably relieved, including the original symptoms of disease.

Mardy's Note: In my experiences personally consulting with naturopathic doctor after a medical doctor who was proposing chelating heavy metals via IV chelation (which is fairly aggressive), I found it beneficial to heed the advise of the ND related to getting the routes of detoxification 'in order' before detoxing, even if it's not with any type of chelator and it's the detox and cleanse that has to do with consuming a certain diet for three weeks, plus lifestyle changes during that time.  

(Example, it tends to create a spiritual connectedness after a while but initially can make people be rather grumbly in mood and behaviors can show it.)  The intestines and elimination of waste is at the top of that list.  I'd highly recommend people look into that aspect of things (and we have information on Lumigrate as well as the many sources out there to consult in person or online for learning).  

Joining in the group and learning for a while beforehand is one way to go about it as there are a variety of experienced voices joining Steve there with mentoring people.  I noticed a lot were using the Calm brand magnesium that I've seen become maybe the most popular single product at the health food store, chiropractors offices, etc.  

I learned of it when I went out of town and had troubles sleeping and went to a chiropractor's office I saw on my walk the next day; it turned out it was the office of the DC that I'd seen on local TV when I wasn't sleeping, talking about fluoride in the area's water supply and his efforts to get the practice changed. Ironical, right?

And that was the end of 2012 when I was, since May, focused about fluoride and created information at Lumigrate about safe water and fluoride with the help of a couple savvy medical experts -- holistic DDS and a DC.  That was what they suggested I purchase from them. I had always typically taken magnesium in my mix of supplements and also attempted to eat a solid diet for getting good nutrition for nutrients, including minerals, but some of us have bodies that are using and needing so much more.  

Typically those who would be wanting to undertake a protocol like this one would be in similar situation, and with the usual GI issues, frequently diagnosed or falling within the symptoms of a diagnosis of IBS.  Hence my interjecting this comment here. This is an extremely important part of the protocol, so have that understood. Several people I know have not yet worked on their intestinal health enough to be having good elimination, so that might be a starting point to consider for people with non ideal elimination. 

 

 

“Fenbenadazole treats infection by binding to tubulin proteins in the parasite, thereby blocking the protein from forming micro tubules within the cells of the parasite. This damages the integrity of the cells and interferes with the transport function. Fenbenadazole is safe for use in mammals due to its affinity for parasitic tubules rather than those of host animals.

Fenbendazole is a benzimidazole anthelmintic, that has broad spectrum, and a wide safety margin. It binds to 3-tubulin astructural protein that blocks polymerization of tubulin into microtubules, which damages the integrity and the transport function of cells in parasites. The reason behind the wide safety margin is due to its affinity to the parasitic tubules rather than mammals.

The drug is minimally absorbed after it is given orally. It is metabolized to the active compound oxfendazole sulfoxide and sulfone. Fenbendazole is excreted in the feces and urine.”

Most pet stores supply fenbendazole. Safeguard, Panacur 10% suspension solution liquid or paste is used by most. 

http://www.jefferspet.com/products/safeguard-dewormer-goats-...

From a group member in May 2015: Since DMSO is in the liquid carrier in the goat fenben, I thought this was a very interesting article on all the great benefits of using DMSO.  http://health-matrix.net/…/…/dmso-the-real-miracle-solution/

The discussion went on about the BBB (blood brain barrier); apparently the DMSO does carry / transport the fenbendazole across the BBB (but please remember what % stays in the intestines versus how much gets beyond the intestines, per the information provided). 

Providing a lot of information here for people to utilize and figure out what they wish to figure. 

Adding in by Mardy -- 

(Note, livestock stores too, and people had found it at WalMart in a bottle that has a wrapping around it to show it had not been opened / tampered with, which is different than what you'll get from most other suppliers. Some believed this indicated awareness that humans were taking it, I thought it might just be that WalMart dictated that be done to the bottles they purchased for sale to reduce the hassles of people returning things.) 

Converter -- drops, teaspoon fractions, etc.: www.endmemo.com/sconvert/milliliterteaspoonmetric.php

AND I see over and over the same questions and maybe if you look at the protocol at Steve's Images document in the Files at Facebook you'll see he's realized everyone's needing more instructions on this protocol that is at the protocol.  In extensive time reviewing all the comment threads of significance for about a month's time, here are some highlights that his groupmates who are experienced or he had answered: 

Question about taking them at what time of day -- Steve says it does not matter.  

Taking it with food or not, he says does not matter. He does not clarify that you mix it with anything --- milk, water, juice.  When talking about giving it to pets people were putting it in their wet or dry food. Someone who started taking fenben relatively recently but who is very experienced with the Lyme, mold, chronic illness treatment palate said that having something with fat in it was what she was figuring as it would slow the way it got into the gut.  I saw that repeated by that person months later (as I'm periodically revising this to make it improved as the group's process is yielding improved information all the time.)

Other important points were to have your gut working so you can eliminate things, many people do enemas (usually coffee is mentioned) and eating a lot of fruits, vegetables and things with fiber is also mentioned. These are standard things for doing any type of cleanse and always good to be reminded of. 

Next onto the mushrooms, so another question was whether to take them at the same time or separately, again Steve said it didn't matter, others said they took them spaced apart with fenben first and mushrooms second. Then many seemed to be starting on the fenben before the mushrooms but there seemed to be a variety of reasons for that, some was affording only one and picking fenben for starters. Some were wanting to get one thing underway and get those symptoms underway and down the path a ways before adding the other. 

 

2. 1-2 teaspoons of liquid or powder pure Red Reishi (Ganoderma) extract daily. Use indefinitely or as you feel better. There are no known side effects of red reishi. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine. (Mardy's Note: I found otherwise, about side effects known, so have thus included that here for YOUsers). 

Half Hill Farm extract: https://store.halfhillfarm.com/Red-Reishi-Mushroom-Dual-Extr...

Aloha Medicinals GanoUltra: http://www.alohamedicinals.com/reishi-compare.htm#.VIUbfKTF8...

“Regular consumption of red Reishi can enhance our body's immune system and improve blood circulation, thus improving better health conditions. Generally, Reishi is recommended as an adaptogen, immune modulator, and a general tonic. Red Reishi is also used to help treat anxiety, high blood pressure, hepatitis, bronchitis, insomnia, and asthma.”

Many in this group have found red resishi to be a critical component in helping relieve the body of the massive cyanobacterial masses housed in biofilms and mucosal linings throughout the body.

 Note added by Mardy: Naturally, always be looking into the information about side effects of things and consider if things people suggest are for you, this is YOU in the driver's seat of deciding what you're doing and not.  This is what WebMD had (pointed out by a member of the group when looking through):

---

 

 ADDING on 2/25/15 -- please see the information at the following link (which is comment #3, below if you want to just scroll). as I did my due diligence to call the brand of reishi product I found at the store that I often use to sort it out for me and provide good brands according to their standards.  

The above information from WedMD was something I took to heart more than most, perhaps because of my symptoms of POTS and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and knowing I have been tested twice about a decade or less ago and had a 9 or 7 minute clotting time.  My mother died at age 62 of a massive brain bleed and also had similar symptoms to mine and likely was with a milder case of what I have -- it tends to just get worse every generation the genes go along if it's epigenetic changes.  

Reishi does, per the customer service person answering my call, have an effect on blood vessels so can be contraindicated for some people.  I read her the above information that was at the WebMD site back when I added that into this thread, and she was going to then be looking at the topic at Lumigrate and learning more of what 'this is all about' here!

3. Vitamin D3 – supporting the immune functions with natural or vitamin D3 supplements has been very useful for many using this protocol. Some are using many times the recommended daily dose to support the cellular functions needed during this detox/healing protocol. Get a high potency liquid if you can.

http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Vitamin-drop-Servings-Potency/d...

Mardy's note: Look into what the source of the D3 is, it can be from sheep lanolin and they can be treated with toxins that could get into the product a person intakes. I'm aware that vegans take D2. And many promote the use of the sun, I know that we have information from Dr Stephanie Seneff about that in things I've linked to from forum topics. She'd focused on sulfur and vitamin D in interviews, and I have stated that I can forsee her shifting some of her recommendations if she were to learn of what Steve has been saying and she found it worthy of embracing due to validity. As with everything, look into things before doing and do what you think is best.  Be lined out with your guide inside of you and use that resource as well. 

4. Eat a whole foods organic diet as much as possible. There are no specific recommendations except that dairy and sugar seems to lure the parasites out when taking fenbendazole. Ice cream has been used successfully by many but use your own discretion about milk and sugar if you have food sensitivities. Over time, food sensitivities do seem to diminish for some people. It is not necessary to eat dairy to see results and improvements.

5. Purify or ozonate your water. Some in our group are finding relief from symptoms just by ozonating their water sources. So many of the cyanobacterias are in our air, water and soils. If you can find a way to ozonate your water, consider doing so. There is ongoing discussion about other water treatment options. The key is finding a system that filters out the smallest particles (0.2 or smaller? – need to confirm)

NOTE FROM MARDY, 3/27 (1,611 reads prior to my adding this comment: In researching this aspect more, it turns out that water with minerals will have the minerals OXIDATED without being removed, so that's something to be aware of and I'd say take strongly into account.  Here's a link to something about water treatment that I was provided by one of the more experienced in the group who'd done their homework, as I suggest we all do! (It sure helps when someone gives you some pointers though, so I hope you appreciate these at Lumgrate to ease your process).  www.lenntech.com/library/ozone/drinking/ozone-applications-drinking-water.htm

This is a model that is currently being used with great result by some members:

Hints about Ozone: Stay out of the area where the Ozone generator is running and use good ventilation. Ozone will damage lung and eye tissue. Be careful. Many people use the generator in the garage or outside. I simply stay out of the kitchen, run a fan, and open the door and windows when running the generator. Less Ozone will escape into the air with the stone attachment submerged in water but still some does escape as is evident by the Ozone smell.

Ozone will not remove: nitrates (typical when water is contaminated by fertilizer run off), sodium, sulfates, total dissolved solids, chlorides, and fluoride. These contaminants can be removed by reverse osmosis or distillation. 

6. Treating discomfort: if you find yourself terribly uncomfortable internally or externally, slow down your dosing. Take a break if necessary. Drink plenty of water to help the body rid itself of the algal masses that will come.

7. If possible, reduce the overall stresses in your life. Find a way to relax, meditate, find support among friends or family, reach out to others seeking healing. Let go of the toxic habits, foods, people or ideas, if you can. Boosting the immune system is increasingly important as we discover the build up of antagonists in our tissues and lives. Look at your work, your relationships, your mindset, your emotions. Be gentle with yourself and all of those around you. As you begin to feel better, many dysfunctional or negative dynamics will resolve or seem more manageable or even disappear entirely. Healing on all levels is available to you now.

 8. Share your journey with others so that the healing may continue. Many are surprised that such a simple protocol can work so well. Many of us are working to understand the mechanics of this, but the bottom line is that it is helping people where conventional medicine and many other alternative approaches have not.

Steve’s goal is to keep this protocol as inexpensive and accessible as possible. Health and healing is a human right and we hope that you find it here.

Warm blessings

FENBENDAZOLE

History of Panacur (alternate name for Fenbendazole) Panacur is a manufacturer's name for a composition containing fenbendazole as its active ingredient. Fenbendazole is also the active ingredient in other lesser known anti-parasitics such as Fencur.

Fenbendazole is a synthetic chemical with a long history. The origin group that fenbendazole belongs to was developed for treatment of parasitic diseases in cattle. The first member of this group was Tiabendazole and the second member was oxfendazole. Both drugs were highly toxic and had a narrower spectral of activity than the present day derivative, fenbendazole.

In cattle, fenbendazole has a broad spectrum of activity against most nematodes including lung nematodes, oxyurids, strongyloides and some flatworms (like moniezia). In cattle, Panacur works in almost all groups of parasites, excluding trematodes (flukes), and has a very high margin of safety (up to 5000 times in cattle). Panacur is the most popular drug using fenbendazole as it's active ingredient. In cattle this drug is effective against adult stages of parasites, migrating larvae, and eggs (ovocide activity).

Panacur is effective against lung nematodes in mammals. Panacur is neither effective against worms outside the gastrointestinal tract nor inactive larvae in tissues.. This is actually an advantage as a drug which kills active and inactive larvae throughout the body may cause toxic shock to the animal due to large amount of dead material that the body must filter out at once.

Toxic shock due to system overload from dead parasite bodies is common in drugs such as Droncit and Ivermectin. Panacur is the drug of choice for gravid females. Panacur blocks metabolism of carbohydrates in nematodes. Essentially, the nematode can eat food, but cannot absorb the nutrients. Though it is eating, the worm starves to death. Panacur does not have the same effect on birds or mammals. This is the reason for the margin of safety.

The length of time that it takes for Panacur to start killing parasites depends on the location of the parasite. For oxyurids in the hind gut you can see effect of treatment within a day or two. For ascarids in stomach, though, the effect may never be seen as the bodies may be harmlessly digested. No side effects are known within the safety dosage.

An indirect effect may occur when there is a large number of parasites and the dead bodies cause the aforementioned toxic shock to the chameleon. Toxic shock may manifest itself as a lowering of activity and an appearance of depression. The flood of dead bodies can also limit the chameleon's peristaltic activity (the gut pushing food through) by the sheer bulk of the bodies of dead nematodes blocking the intestines.

Benzimidazoles are Ftsz inhibitors. Ftsz is a cell division protein found in nearly all bacteria, plants and algae. It is a highly conserved protein encoded in their genomes 3.5 billion years ago that they consider essential for all life functions; it is not found in humans.

Once that protein is bound by an Ftsz inhibitor, they can do nothing --  they slowly starve and die. That being said, by the direct decomposition of bacteria, fungi etc., they produce hydrogen sulfide gas and other protein by products which must be neutralized safely as if they are in the small intestine (which they are). The small intestine is not able to properly detox them, the body tries in myriads of ways, small amounts of oxygen in the blood, dumping to the liver etc., but it is not effective or enough. It is this primary dysfunction that causes gut paralysis and the inability to clear bacteria from where it is not normally present in large numbers, the small intestine.

And these specific toxins are geno toxins that lead to myriads of diseases by innate immune suppression and geno toxicity. Disabling advanced pathogenic bacteria (such as sulfate reducing bacteria) is not enough, and disabling advanced pathogenic bacteria by the wrong treatments is a disaster in the making.

Sulfate reducing bacteria and and a few others eventually out compete other bacteria in the environment and the small intestine. Ftsz inhibitors are now considered by government. and pharma to be one of the top safe and effective means of controlling antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the majority of antibiotics will likely soon be history as they should be.

RED REISHI (GANODERMA)

Health Benefits and Side Effects of Lingzhi (Ganoderma):

 “The lingzhi mushroom, also known as 'reishi mushroom' (translating as supernatural mushroom) is a categorical term for many mushrooms within the Ganoderma genus. The term lingzhi is usually used to refer to Ganoderma Lucidum and Ganoderma Tsugae. G. Lucidum, which are used as a natural medication in East Asia and now across the globe. Its use in medicine dates back to over 2,000 years ago, which puts it as one of the oldest mushrooms to ever have been used medicinally.

There are many health benefits associated with lingzhi, and no known side effects, which makes it a highly popular alternative remedy. Lingzhi contains ganoderic acids which are similar in composition to steroid hormones. They also contain polysaccharides such as beta-glucan and coumarin as well as alkaloids.

As with many ancient medicines, there is some scientific research to back up the traditional usage of lingzhi. Here we will look at what some of those might be.

Anti Cancer…Testosterone…Blood thinning...Liver health…Anti Bacterial…Vasodilation…

Be careful if you have low blood pressure…be sure to monitor it if you choose to use Ganoderma. http://www.healthguidance.org/entry/15775/1/Lingzhi-Benefits...

From my interview time on the phone with Steve Beddingfield, here's a link I chose to put here based on his recommendation to know of and let others know of the work of Jessie McNichol at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.  He's also involved with the symbiotic relathionships of fungus and bacteria. Mosses. Briophites.  He looks at oil seeps, coal seeps.  "This bacteria goes into anything it wants to" and to his knowledge, nobody was 'out there' in the information stream on the Internet, at least, applying this informtion to chronic illness in humans.  So if that is the case, Lumigrate was the first to put it on the overall Internet on a website, beyond naturally what Steve created on the Internet on Facebook.  

Here's the link to something from the Woods Hole website that I liked, but you might find other things if you do some more researching on your own.  www.whoi.edu/oceanus/feature/big-questions-about-tiny-bacteria (Edited in April 30, 2015 by Mardy)

 

• From one group researcher / mother / person with some lingering problems resolved in weeks not months : Paul Cox's research directly points to high BMAA levels (toxic amino acid from cyanobacteria) and neurodegenerative diseases. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3295368/

  

  The Emerging Science of BMAA: Do Cyanobacteria Contribute to...

  NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV

   I healed my son's autism with fenben. Yes the word healed is accurate and I have labs to back it up. We started Nov 23. He still has some health issues but that will take time as it's only been two months. 
• 
  Cured the last bit of my depression. Fenben has changed my world honestly.

   

  Another group researcher / mother / person with health problems said this:  And sometimes I have to go back and read, but if I remember correctly, he did show it was the cyano that inserted the amino acid in the wrong place (or the wrong amino acid, can't exactly remember wrong place or wrong amino acid) that eventually misfolded the proteins.  This turned the science world upside down with his findings because they were stunned to find protein formation was not how they previously assumed, and in every bio book being taught.

   

  And it is the misfolded proteins that are a core component of what is going on in ALS among other diseases. That is an extremely important finding that most are ignoring right now because it doesn't fit their paradigm of disease. Just another new finding that does not fit their paradigm of disease and makes their foundations, and therefore 90% of what is out there, absolute garbage. Very important, and the whole world needs to know that and why Paul Cox truly deserves more recognition.

 

Adding on Sat, Jan 10, 2015:  

I figured that as I saw gems in the threads at the FB page I'd bring them here and try to assemble them in an order that will provide supplementation to the reading here for what is above.  I'd wondered this myself, and it was asked today because someone's products just arrived in the mail and they wondered if it mattered what time of day they took them and together or apart.... 

Steve said 'take them right away quit procrastinating' which was funny.  She said the whole family had taken it and they were not procrastingating but she got to figuring it might be good to ask and it might matter. Steve said it didn't. Another gal said she took both in the morning about 10 minutes apart.  But this is one that I thought was worth placing here: "Listen to your body. We are all different. Experiment with time. Your time is yours alone. Excited to see us all learn from each other, but we must remember we all respond in our own individual ways. The fun thing about this protocol is that it's easy. We make it hard. Hardest part was your journey here....relax. We must start this with knowledge that it's being taken care of now. God bless us all......"

 

One of the gals who posts a lot of links and starts new threads in STEVE'S IMAGES on Facebook has a good sense of humor about things in recent days joking about "The solution to your problems coming to you from ('the system/ organized medical / industrial complex") for $9 at Tractor Supply".  Or sometimes I think she mentions WalMart or else someone else had found that they were now carrying fenbendazole at WalMart but with a wrap around the cap such as one would see with products intended for human consumptiion. 

Seeing this type of supportive information recently in Steve's Images group on Facebook is when I starting thinking this was going to be information that I'd put on Lumigrate -- clearly 'the system' that runs the world in general was seeing what was going on with things, they thought.  I commented that Codex might be partly the cause as I know it is very specific about packaging and many other things and is wreaking havoc on the outside the box service and products industry related to things people can do and take for their wellness. (Please look at our search bar for Agenda 21, Common Core, and Codex ... I have sprinkled information about all three around Lumigrate in the last year). 

She's been 'on fire' in a funny and upbeat way this first week of 2015 and over New Years, and today she'd posted a link to a website about new patents and it was about fenbendazole, and she joked about how this was coming to Tractor Supply for $9 ...  the joke being it's already on shelves where livestock products are sold, or on the Internet, but now those who make things for humans are getting in on the action to develop products for human animals, aka people.  Here's the link: www.freshpatents.com/-dt20141225ptan20140378456.php AND this is what you'll find at the link as an overview .. there is a 64 page PDF that can be downloaded:

What They (Big Pharma) Don't Want You to Know -- Mebendazole --- Inexpensive Cancer Cure.

by Gary Vey

Good News!

Ordinarily, an article like this might not appeal to someone with a minimal interest in biology. But this article is about cancer. That's something that we will all experience, either personally or with someone close to us.

I'm not going to bore you with statistics or preach about unhealthy lifestyles or genetics. The fact is that we all get cancer in our lifetime -- probably many times. Our bodies usually defend against the cancerous cells and they are destroyed before they can do any damage. Unfortunately, for some people, the battle isn't so easy and the outcome unclear.

But wait... there is good news. It's a medicine that seems too good to be true, yet it is. And get this -- it costs just a couple of dollars and its in most every local pharmacy. It's anti-cancer success has been well documented in journals (which I will show you) -- even with cancers that are unresponsive to other chemotherapy. While it kills cancer cells it poses no harm to the normal cells and has little or no side effects. It's called mebendazole and "Big Pharma" hopes you will never hear about it.

Mebendazole (MBZ)

 

If you have ever cared for young children then you are probably familiar with this medicine under the name of Vermox, Ovex, Antiox, and Pripsen. It is usually prescribed to treat pinworms, roundworms, whip worms and hookworms -- organisms that find an unwelcome home in our intestines. For some time now, scientists have known how it works, but the method of death meted out to the targeted parasites was of little interest to them. But that has since changed.

How it works...

This next part gets a little technical. I'll try to explain things in a general way. I'm by no means a scientist or biologists but I'll share with you what I have learned.

One of the misconceptions that people have about a cell is that it contains a nucleus, a cell wall and everything inside (cytoplasm) kind of sloshes around in a liquid or gel. In fact, the inside of a cell contains a kind of scaffold made of micro-tubules, also called spindles, that have the ability to assemble and disassemble quicky. This network of rigid micro-tubules inside the cell gives it shape, structure and also has the ability to transfer organelles and various molecules to different parts within the cell, functioning like a railway system. But its most vital function is cell division.

You will easily understand the role of spindles by viewing this short animation.

....so GO on the link and see the information there, that's a good snippet to show you why I am suggesting you do! .... 

 Adding on 4/8/2015 -- 1880 or so people have now found this topic.  Here's a new resource she added today in the group -- bolding added by me to aid readers in the highlight info:  From this source (Int'l Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Chemistry: ijrpc.com/files/00044.pdf

 

BENZIMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES – AN OVERVIEW

Benzimidazole derivatives play important role in medical field with so many Pharmacological activities such as antimicrobial, antiviral, antidiabetic and anticancer activity. The potency of these clinically useful drugs in treatment of microbial infections and other activities encouraged the development of some more potent and significant compounds. Benzimidazoles are remarkably effective compounds, extensive biochemical and pharmacological studies have confirmed that these molecules are effective against various strains of microorganisms. This review is summarized to know about the chemistry of different derivatives of substituted benzimidazoles along with their pharmacological activities.

 

 

 Someone in June 2015 posted a link when finding a Chinese pharmaceutical firm that is manufacturing and selling a tablet form: kexingyaoye.en.alibaba.com/product/332297988-209620147/Fenbendazole_tablet_50mg.html   This was in response to what Steve had just posted, which was: 

"CDC doesn't allow license to be issued for companies such as Merck to dispense fenbendazole in any form for humans to combat a non specific disease. Recognition of our disease is crucial to the need for fenben to be available by pill form, until CDC recognizes us and millions more suffering with GSB disease, albeight under different syndrome names, no license will be issued. CDC is the problem, but then Homeland Security is their boss. So it may never ever happen. Instead, the deaths, pain and suffering will continue." (June 9, 2015, Steve Beddingfield)

Poster Gal again (in early 2015) with:

www.google.com/patents/US7371871

 

• Every patent I post has benzimidazole as one of the effective compounds. Fenbendazole is a benzimidazole. They often add things to the core in order to file a new patent as they can't refile the original as they are not the owners of the original but that does not mean the original is not effective.

   

  They would have to show efficacy to get it approved as a drug. That depends on the FDA. That means one will be waiting until hell freezes over. Nothing to understand, one mechanism = all disease, the innate immune system where it all begins and ends no matter the tumbling block of failure. You have no innate immune system due to immuno suppression caused by cyano.

   

  Even the so-called genetic disorders -- genes turn on, genes turn off. Cyano as a creator of life is capable of such. Epigenetics. The manifestations of disease are many, but the root is always the same. They know this. We know they know this on paper. They continue to delude with labels. It's time to stop letting them get away with it and stop playing their game and filling their pockets. And that is why I am showing how can one drug be effective against so many..... because it's true.

  That is the lightbulb one needs to go off in one's head.

   

  ... we know they know this on paper, there is another group working on the prosecution of this crime and it's ensuing cover ups. That is not our focus in this group, most of us are just well aware of it. Yes, it helps to understand that, in order to be on the right path, the drug must work across the spectrum of all disease.

Then in the spring, as she was preparing to wrap things up in terms of helping with the group and go on her way back to vocational work due to her recovery progressing so well, and to pursue her own work on this subject, she provided this list of things related to patents.

I would imagine her work is going to center around doing the thought and development of digesting this and writing it up in a way that is understandable to people.  And perhaps having a new vocation come from this. 

 Adding in, October 24, 2015 -- Almost exactly 10 months since the 'fit' I saw pitched on Christmas Day when the implications of the fenbendazole-like patent trail hit her, I spent a lot of time this week attempting to foster a working relationship to provide people finding Lumigrate a good 'connection' to that continuation she went on to do, just as I'd suggested. I got approval for things, I created drafts, I asked for modifications to some things on her website so I could send people there for her to connect with them and have them there. Fits happened again, but this time directed at me, my intentions and we agreed that what we both wanted was for people to find the information in conjunction with what was presented a year ago now that it's progressed. And so that is the end of the road.

I respect whole heartedly the efforts and appreciate the contribution to my learning that I benefitted from because of her keen ability for research and piecing things together. And I hope that Lumigrate helps a lot of people find the information they're seeking on the front of what's causing chronic conditions and what to look intothat I'd not link to or use content from her website and so if there was something here that's now not, that is why. 

So I was thinking the same thing when I first saw this as others were, so when I checked back a couple of days later I found that people had asked the questions, they'be been answered .... others had said 'the pieces start to come together'...  Here's some of the comment thread, because this might save people a step if I can record this the first time it is out there, it's my experience that in these groups eventually everything comes up again over time as new people are always joining and then the highlights need to be gone over again.  Or sometimes people don't absorb everything the first time.  I just spoke to a nutrition educator who says people come sometimes 3x to his seminars on the same topic because it's so much of a learning curve for them. 

The parts of the conversation that was directly about the difference in the chemicals: 

What is the difference between this and albendazole? Ta (which means thanks in advance, I presume)

Why don't we take this instead of fenben since it's for humans? Isn't it easily accessed online? .. and.. Just to clarify ... is mebendazole the same as fenbendazole? 

Someone tags Steve in and indicates HERE for him to see where there is an important question being asked. He responds: "Fenbendazole is number 1, the best product. Merck knows this."

Then the next comment is from a woman who is also thanked later for the explanation given -- elaboration I might call it: "Albendazole has much harsher side effects then Fenbendazole ...i have a very sensitive liver and i ran in to problems after 10 days of Albendazole and i would not take it again personally . For this very reason i was really nervous starting the Fenbendazole but i am taking Fenben almost two months now with great results and no liver issues . I have found it more effective at getting rid of a broader range of parasites then either Albendazole or mebendazole ( which i have also taken ) but also safe and gentle on the liver and body , Steve is right !"

Then the next comment is someone asking the difference between the two chemicals, they maybe were writing at the same time and didn't see that they posted just after the question had been answered. But it was funny as they said 'Hi, I'm a lurker ... ' ... some people are just not so inclined to ever comment unless they have a big question.  Anyway, that made me laugh.  Someone new comes into the conversation and adds this:

"....there are big differences not the least of which you can't get mebendazole in the US....have to use foreign online pharm or go to Mexico....in us it's called vermox but Drs will only give you 1-3 pills....useless. I did 1-2 pills for 6 days each month for 7 months....never really noticed improvements....3 months on fenben I have...... no it's near impossible to get online....Nobel drugs went offline (I used them to get mine)....massive media smear campaigns about getting from India or Thailand....your doctor won't RX enough..."

Then the next comment was someone thanking the elaborator and I then added on 'ditto that' and let the lurker know I appreciated the comment and it made me laugh.  I thought this covered a lot of the questions people would have... the FAQs so to speak .. and so I thought I'd put the overview highlights here for YOUsers benefit. 

Other portions of the conversation were more about supplements to help the body with the process of using these things and this is an example:

Person 1: I'm doing the fenbendazole, animal version of this. Starting phase 2 tomorrow. Yay! 8'weeks! I created a new post about my experience just minutes ago,,waiting for admin to approve.

Person 2: Asks about taking mag 07.

Person 1: Not sure never used mag 07. Zinc is good and a natural organic food based non synthetic multivitamin and natural organic vit C.

Person 2: I take food based vit c. What kind do you like? I just ran out of zinc! And I feel like I have the flu and I was at the supplement store today. Haha

Person 1: Says she likes vitC powder as you can add it to juice, etc. (and I might add control the dose up and down in small increments) AND gives the link at Amazon to the C powder. 

Person 2: Says that's what she takes and asks what zinc.... 

Person 1 shows what zinc they take which is a lozenge, chewable. Then adds: Here's my multivitamin. I like them so much I chew them.  Which is Garden of Life my kind Organics Men's Once Daily, 60c Organic Tablet. 

See what a nice group this is at this time? I hope it stays this way, it's seeming to run really effectively. Thanks again to all and hope this was helpful. 

 

Credit Where Credit is Due on Facebook --- To the Good, and the Bad (and so be forewarned and consider your alies carefully.  Maybe think about all the western television shows and movies, thriller mysteries, complex stories with people who are not who they put themselves out there to be). Mostly CREDIT to those who are genuninely doing such amazingly helpful work on getting the word out, connecting with others privately and in groups and on other Internet places! 

This wonderful poster I'm referring to was, over the New Year timeframe when I'd look at what was up in the group, seeming to be processing at a level that was making her angry at the system. So, having only come into this group in the later half of 2014,  I had thought she was one of these people who got into this in 2014 and was a really fast researcher (which I'm not I have so many visual / brain issues -- life long learning disabilities now layered with the deterioration of time having only partway addressed the underlying symptoms and causes and not having gotten to the furthest down part of the root of the matter, until recent weeks, months, and years).

In messaging with someone else in the group that I had established a little bit of a relationship with late last year in order to get some fast answers to questions I had about mold near the end of 2014 in order to get that onto Lumigrate for YOUsers, to thank them again for helping me individually AND for all they do to facilitate the great group helping as she and others do, it turns out these two gals go way back collaborating in many places on the Internet.

They end up providing really nice comment thread facilitation in Steve's Images.  They both had posted in comments right next to each other and were so kind to someone who was seeking support, when other places they can be out there joking and being --- well --- ticked off! It's so frustrating to see in your own life and then helping others, what all people have gone through whether you know what the real underlying causes are or not.  

When you get into something that you think is a real solution, and you know how hard you've worked to get to the bottom of it AND you know how much everyone's suffering and has suffered, died prematurely, etc., we all will have those moments! And those who extend themselves to help others who are finding their way to these solutions are constantly taken through the process but thankfully when people who are researching this much find this type of information, they've not newbies at this stuff .... they also can be in more 'support groups' that aren't so much education and solve things groups.  

I've always been inclined to be on the later side of things, and finding others who are into the supportive.  If someone is needing a lot of support I will suggest they take a look at why they are needing so much external support --- everyone needs some, it's not that I don't recognize that, but sometimes there's a need as a therapist of the occupational type as my background entails, to look at that as a symptom.  Has someone taken your locus of control away? That does frequently happen in families of origin in people who develop in higher rates the complex chronic, overlapping conditions.  

I will also say that there might be some traps set up in groups that end up not addressing the underlying causes, and it keeps people from going further on solving the problems.  The system funds 700,000  people, one article said, to disrupt things on the Internet in the western world. That includes social media and I have had enough experiences personally on Facebook to be reasonably assured it is prudent to forewarn people that many of the nice people that appear to be wanting to help people and be activists are being funded in one way or another by the system and they then have the ability to keep people away from the truthful information.  And then there are others who are truly clean of that and sincere.  Just keep your radar up and your thinking caps on! 

At any rate, I give full credit here to those who are setting these things up for me to provide with relatively little effort at Lumigrate.  I'll not name names aside from Steve but I do give credit and will let them know how it's a springboard for me that will benefit YOUsers of Lumigrate. To ALL who spend time, energy and in some cases money helping others learn --- and you're sincere and not being paid by someone to be acting like you're in the fight to help people solve these complex issues by helping with education -- I recognize you as well.  

It was, if I recall, one of these advocates whose group I encountered Steve in, and put in a (rare) Friend Request to him and then he told me about his group.  Nobody comes to me and says 'Mardy, Mardy, look at this awesome group" typically -- I'm finding my way with it just like anyone who wants to use Facebook as a tool. And if it seems to fit for Lumigrate, resonates for me you might say, and it checks out as legitimate enough to take up space here, my time creating it, and energy, then you'll I add the information for YOUsers.  

At the end of 2014 there was a whole dustup going about new policies at FB and people started talking about going to other social media sites, and my impression of it ended up being that 1) this could be a ploy to break up what is getting to be a VERY strong tool for people to connect about these real issues about the world and what we can do to change it, whether it be about health issues or environmental issues, financial issues, etc.  So I stated on my wall I was going to stay put on Facebook and that I suggested people if they were freaking out about what might be used from FB create a new profile and put the old one to rest.  

I fortunately had fairly good education about what Facebook was all about from the very beginning -- I learned more about it as I went on and adjusted what I do on Facebook and people say my FB page is really boring because I don't post much anymore about me and what I'm doing in my life.  But FB is a great tool for getting people to remember that Lumigrate exists, it's a resource, and for me to learn more and find GRATE things to bring to YOU, the YOUser. So when you think abou the team you have around you ... our YOU model ... maybe think about the virtual and the in person. Here's the You model: 

 

AND here's the old full barrel syndrome model which I believe was created by the fabulous full-time assistant I had from 2 months into this chapter of my professional career to 2 months after Lumigrate and the videos and photos were all taken, edited, and the website created. We didn't use this version in the video by Dr Lepisto of Full Barrel Syndrome as we'd found a graphics artist to draw it going off of this perhaps. She and I had many overlaps and one was that we had very high standards for how things looked compared to how we envisioned they should look on a website we were taking very seriously and wanted others to do as well.  

This shows how things can progress ... as in move forward ... because today I'd create this to have 'parasites' and 'waterborn toxins' to reflect what is being communicated with this information at this topic.  Perhaps as an exercise to deepen your understanding, draw a full barrel syndrome graphic of your own and what you think has contributed to your level of illness/wellness and then what you can do for eliminating / reducing the toxic load.  

AND then in 2012 I had the elevator model drawn up that Dr Spurlock, who was a content provider from 2009 to 2012 or maybe a little in 2013, had shown me in person when we met for the second time when he was in Utah for a conference (the first time was same conference time but 2010). 

                                                                                   

And here I can see that we were wise to that we needed to leave things to the imagination of people as to what ALL that can be that is loading, and make room for the providers to learn new things, for scientists to uncover new evidence, etc. But I think I'd make that big one front and center "cyanobacteria and parasites" or something if I had it to do over again today! Hence, my signoff --- Live and Learn. Learn and Live Better! -- applies maybe as much to THIS topic as it does to ANY topic at Lumigrate! ~ Mardy

FURTHER adding on, and these gems posted by the same person are not being posted by me here in this thread in the same order they provided them .... I'm shuffling them to an order I think will make the most sense to anyone that may be a newcomer ... starting at the basic and adding on with complexities....

FOLLOWING UP IN JULY WITH PosterGal -

bringing pertinent things here for YOUsers of Lumigrate. With my thanks to PosterGal.

SIBO - Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth

PosterGal:

"You can't keep your head out of your plate of spaghetti after eating due to 'wheat coma', you have SIBO.

You can't take an aspirin anymore without feeling like you are going to die, you have SIBO.

You can't drink a beer without getting sloshed, you have SIBO.

Your cartilage is dissolving, your bones look like Swiss cheese, you have SIBO.

You look 18 months pregnant, with skinny legs and arms, you have SIBO.

Or you look thinner than a NY model, you have SIBO.

Or you gained 200 lbs. for no reason and suddenly have more acne than when a teenager, you have SIBO.

You fly into a rage over Sesame Street (Barney is a different story), you have SIBO.

You can't think your way out of a wet paper bag, you have SIBO.

You're depressed, anxious, irritable for no apparent reason, you have SIBO.

You can't move your ass if Big Foot was chasing you, you have SIBO.

The most ambition you've had in five years was to say 'forget it' after your great idea, you have SIBO.

You are more bendy than Gumby, you have SIBO."

The highlights below stemmed from my simply following up with updates from my experiences and that now includes working with people with pets and I'd remembered her story initially was glowing with what the protocol did to help her dogs.  She said she had one who couldn't tolerate the paste and she couldn't afford the liquid any more so she looked into the pellets that are used in zoos with a lot of animals.  That is what she uses now, she puts the amount she feels right for their size/weight in their food.  

We eventually went on to talk about people: Someone had asked about being diabetic, having non alcoholic liver disease ... "Yep, goes with territory. Liver's overwhelmed with trying. Associated condition with SIBO. Have easy- to- digest foods. Taking berberine or fenben can be done. Peppermint oil to help motility and the SIBO recipe to neutralize deadly hydrogen sulfide gas as you are taking the rest.

Sulfate-reducing bacteria causes diarrhea; methane-reducing bacteria, constipation. The methane eventually out-competes the sulfate-reducing, most have a combination until one out-competes. The constipated people take longer, but it still all works."

Berberine. An FtsZ inhibitor, like fenbendazole. PosterGal said she found patents and abstracts indicating they use things along these lines in bio-remediation of this bacteria.  MGO2 is what Milk of Magnesia is.

It creates a slow release oxygen when mixed with water. Works better and lasts longer than ozone or peroxide; reducing the numbers of the bacteria and neutralizes the deadly gas. (We'd discussed how the gas is basically like cyanide, hence people are dying currently from ingesting or being exposed to things such as a can of a drink they used to consume as a pick me up due to the caffeine and sugar in it, or taking a tablet such as aspirin, or being on a golf course that had been treated like in the past without deadly consequence, with chemicals.) "The recipe does this due to its direct decomposition.....".  She went on to say: 

If one cannot afford berberine, there is the SIBO recipe. BUT cannot be used for pets due to the zinc.  Mardy's note on abbreviations.  IBS = irritable bowel syndrome.  SIBO - small intestine bacterial overgrowth 

It works by neutralizing hydrogen sulfide gas, a byproduct of sulfate reducing bacteria which is released in the intestines of those suffering from SIBO, colitis, IBS and other chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.

Recipe: 1/16 teaspoon of zinc oxide plus 1/2 teaspoon of milk of magnesia plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 glass of water taken twice a day.

Some immediate relief of ulcerative colitis should be experienced. The dose is not a perfect one, but it seems twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime is helpful.

If the remedy causes somewhat of a diarrhea or laxative effect, then one might reduce the milk of magnesium and baking soda by 1/2. "I am have a good feedback on this one, although there simply is not enough feedback I would like to receive from this remedy."

"I believe the remedy should be taken only 4 days out of a week, which should be generally be sufficient."

"And autism, we all know by now how their guts are destroyed. And in the majority of chronic disease patients the gut is gone. Gone. All I know is that it has helped me tremendously in every way, pain, fatigue, bloat, brain fog etc. Tremendously. One of the best finds ever. And the dose is so low on all it should not affect anyone in a negative way, kids, reduce doses to half. Any nausea it is likely the zinc, cut back on that. I will not go without it now." 

I make a big bottle at a time, multiply dose x 8 cups in the bottle, I get mine, and then (the family member get theirs) including spouse .... so he does not turn in to me as he is getting the 8 months preggers bloat by evening now. And wheat coma.

Very few people have a true MTHFR according to Dr. Mark Pimental. In most an inability to detox is actually SIBO. From a resource:

"In the body, HS must be detoxified by oxidation. While HS can be produced in large quantities by sulfate-reducing bacteria in the colon, it is normally rapidly metabolized by a specialized detoxification system in the colonic mucosa. More proximal sites of the gastrointestinal tract, including the small intestines, are much less efficient at detoxifying the gas. If the detoxification system were to be overwhelmed, HS would escape the gut to enter the portal vein. In the portal vein, a small amount of HS is detoxified by oxygen bound to hemoglobin. The majority would then enter the liver."  

Here's a video link of a June 2015 interview at a SIBO conference of Dr Pimental: www.youtube.com/watch   7 minutes, 39 seconds and TERRIBLE sound quality, so it's hard to hear perhaps. I suggest watching. Here's all they say at YouTube: Published on Jun 11, 2015

 

Another video that was offered to me at YouTube (with really GOOD sound, visual aids/ graphics) was this one which I liked the sound on and information, and the way the doctor conducted himself on YouTube's comments that were left for him.  He talks about Dr. Lynch (Ben Lynch) who is someone I'd covered on the MTHFR information at Lumigrate. 

The cause of all the high folic acid .... "folic acid" is called "folate" in the literature .. it's a byproduct of the bacteria in the intestine. He explains it very well. Here's the words and then the link to find it at YouTube

May we all learn as much as PosterGal and be making the improvements in our wellness level and helping those in our homes and lives do the same, as she is. She has returned to her vocation and doing work in the previous normal amount of time, she reported. That's GRATE news! She'd said she returned 'to work' and I corrected her, pointing out she'd been working, doing the research to help thousands get over the hump of Steve's research and on their way. Indirectly it ended up being thousands, at the time they had 1,000+ in the group but many were not active really.  "The ripple effect" occurred by my taking the time to grab and weave a lot of highlights at this topic, and over 6,000 people have benefitted to date on this topic thread, alone.

Thank you, PosterGal ~ GrateFULLY, Mardy

Going on About SIBO -- Showing How Word Spreads in a FB Group and Communities Which Are Connected

PosterGal, who left the group in the spring, had gotten many followers as her personal FB friend, so we all can see what she posts, which I was fortunate to be, at least until the time of this updating on October 24, 2015. Many who were very active in that timeframe became quiet in Steve's group and now post only very occasionally if at all.  New leadership emerged when "the et al.s", as I called them, quieted. Clearly there are likely secret groups, I might know of some, not others. The new leading helper, also a woman, so I'll call her the "Leading Lady" here, had this to add on a recent thread I'm going to bring the highlights of along with because it's really great information provided by her, Steve, others.

"I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you, but some people on the forum are also trying to work on gut issues, which may effect the external skin issues. 

Leading Lady: There's an easy and affordable do-it-yourself recipe to treat SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth). The ingredients neutralize the hydrochloric acid in the gut:

1/2 tsp milk of magnesia, 
1/16 tsp zinc oxide powder, and
1/4 tsp baking soda

Mix with 8 oz of clean water, and take first thing in the morning and right before bed on an empty stomach, four days a week.

I'll try to find the link to the full article and post it here.  (Mardy's Note: I did that, the link's the one above to ted dot earth ..... etc.) 
 

The conversation, which I've constructed to be above and below, was in response to a video posted by a woman who said that she's experienced similar, and this is what she related (and the video link --- note, they try to get you to share it by making you wait TWO Minutes to view it, so find something to do for two minutes unless you want to share it sight unseen.... : I do encourage viewing it.

This was a symptom I'd had and did not realize it was a symptoms of anything ..... a former esthetician struggled with extracting them sometimes, and I remember back to my teens using the still ever-present 'pimple popper' gadget from the drug store cosmetics tools are to rid my skin of this type of thing. NOTHING like what you'll read is going on for some people such as the woman who brought this video to Steve's Images group (as you'll see, below). 

www.iam-blogger.net/video/face-skin-worm-remove-sathuragiri-herbals/ 

"This is very similar to what I am experiencing. I have thousands of white stuff (which I believe to be parasites) coming from my skin. They range in size from very tiny to the size of a tic tac. Some are soft, while others are very hard. I spend hours every day rubbing my face. They are coming out all over the right side of my face & scalp, even places where there are no sores or lesions. I have hard bumps under my skin. When I break them open, massive amounts of white matter pour out. There is no end to it. There are areas on my face that look fine (not the least bit sore), but if I rub it, this stuff pours. Is anyone else experiencing this?"

 "I've been on the protocol for the last 6 weeks. Prior to that, I was taking several parasitic drugs (albenza, ivermectin, praziquantel & fenben).  I continue to take ivermectin/praz once a month on the full moon.
I am trying to determine if these things coming out of my face are parasites or fungus. I do not have itching, but I have burning, stinging & tremendous amount of pain, which comes & goes. It is never-ending. They keep pouring out of my face. Some are as large as tic tacs, other are very small."

STEVE: Bacteria. Hydrosulphuric acid burns, causes pain.

Woman Posting/Central to Conversation: So you don't think it is fungal or parasitic, it's the hydrosulphuric acid coming from the bacteria? 

I have a lot of movement on the right side of my face & ear,  a pulsating/throbbing & also a flutter (like butterfly wings on the side my ears. It drives me crazy. I am also very sensitive to EMF, being on the computer to type this is killing me.
I have several holes now on the right side of my face (the largest almost the size of a quarter). Globs of mucous, slime & white matter poured out of my face in February when I applied a horse de-wormer paste on my face. 
I have no hair growing anymore on the right side along my ear. My scalp is crusty & I have MASSIVE amounts of these white things coming out of my scalp.

I have been treating for Morgellons for two years now.  This explosion in my face has been going on since February. It is driving me crazy, it is never ending -- the more I rub, they just keep coming.  I've been to several doctors who all say they have no idea what it is. I do not mention the M word to them, but I explain that I have had Lyme for a long time & have been treating for parasites.

Leading Lady: (Depending upon how long you've been on this protocol) -- If you're at a dose that you can handle, I recommend slowly increasing to tolerance little by little. Fenben and reishi. Some folks who have been on the protocol for a while are taking more than the 3ml adult dose. In your case, increasing the dose may be necessary to reach the next level of healing.

I'm so sorry you're suffering this way. My best advice is to take as much as you can handle, with caution, while making sure that you're moving your bowels every day. The more the better.

Also, are you drinking active ozone water every day and ozonating ALL water meant for drinking and cooking?

Woman Posting: I have increased the fenben where I take the full dose every day.....however, I can't do that with the reishi.....I have to go very slowly.....I have been in the worse pain I have ever been in my life...so much stuff coming out of my face...it is all very hard like gravel, course salt....I am also experiencing INTENSE electrical pain that is unbearable. I am unable to get on the computer much due to my EMF sensitivity, plus the fact that I am just too sick.

I have been using distilled water & adding minerals to it.
I thought I would have seen improvement by now...I do have a day or two that it will slow down, but then it picks back up harder than ever.

Someone said she was praying for her, she thanked the woman and said she can use them. Then Leading Lady posted what I lead off with relative to the SIBO recipe and suggesting she also look into that direction. 

One of the group's long-standing active members, who has just been through homelessness in her country in Europe, where some of the things we can purchase are not obtainable if I followed the story correctly, posted this: 

THEN she said 
The base of this disease is the gsb invasion. Which can be treated with the right base. (End of quoting highlights of the conversation....)

Learning, and therefore progress, takes a while.  About a full year after the split in Steve's Images, I saw in a SIBO group that Steve Beddingfield had posted a new topic thread, challenging everyone (8,000+ members there) to start merging what they have learned so far about SIBO with what he believes is the underlying player or players, in chronic conditions and the gut.  His summary statement: 

"In order for bacteria to flourish within a specific enviroment (small intestine), it is most likely a genus which prefers (originates from) an area which is similar to the biome of our small intestines, the question then becomes, which genus of bacteria prefers the microbiome found within our small intestines?

If bacteria are found to be migrating from the large intestine to the small intestine, then the genus of bacteria found there would be easy to identify, understand, but if an invasive pathogenic bacteria is taking over the SI, an area which is supposedly sterile, then it too would be easily found, identified.

How can such tiny bacteria form such huge mats, blockages, within the SI? Have these bacteria been proven as the causitive agent for overgrowth of large materials (mats) found (exiting) from the large intestine?

Mat forming bacteria are not usually pathogenic to humans, nor to any other species, many species in marine enviroments feed upon these mat forming bacteria, mammals showing these bacteria within the SI certainly is a puzzle for medical providers, perhaps a Marine biologist could possibly shed some light upon the mat forming bacteria now found in our SI's."

Someone makes a very novice comment about her symptoms and antibiotics not working on her, so it must be something else besides bacteria.  (Oh, how it concerns me the level of overall science ability people have, it hinders them from safely figuring out navigating their learning and doing for their wellness recovery / reversal of illness).  Steve's response: 

"Before anyone is prescribed abxs for a specific disease syndrome, the causitive agent (bacteria) has to be id'd and the science about the bacteria must be understood, otherwise it becomes a form of abx roulettte, plus the actual id, unless substantiated through microscropy, might not even be a bacteria, then the possibility of damage due to improper application of abxs exists."

Someone suggests he look at one of the known experts' websites, and says there's a conference coming up on SIBO... Steve's response: "My subscription to Nature is going to be renewed next year, provided next year arrives. http://www.nature.com/.../v1/n1/full/ajgsup20126a.htmlhttp://www.formatex.org/microbio/pdf/Pages79-89.pdf" 

and 

http://www.formatex.org/microbio/pdf/Pages79-89.pdf

Then someone calls him out, tagging his name, and writes: "what do you want to tell? Cyanobacteria is the root of every disease? That's not likely to be true. Methane producing and hydrogen producing bacteria are not limited to Cyanobacteria."  Steve's response: 

"You did not read about prochlorococcus, it's the primary cause of hydrogen in gut and breath, it is a component of algae, cyanobacteria, it's the toxic portion that does the harm, toxic blue green algae. Prochlorococcus is not bacteria, it's a chlorophyll which is highly evolved for purpose of facilitating low light photosynthesis; it also produces hydrogen gas, Archae are the smymbiots of prochlorococcus.  Mark Pimentel, author of SIBO journals and the source for this group's info, as stated above by admin, agrees with my research, plus his new findings were first reported by me."

He provides a photo and this: "Toxic blue green algae from a fecal sample provided by a person with major gut issues."

AND then, he posts a link to his Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/stevesimages/)

Someone comes along and talks about the breath test and a top GI doctor she's going to and he considers the breath test a 'gold standard'.  Steve's response: 

The GI is not a microbioligist, but I'm betting that he would like to speak to me, treating for a symptom such as hydrogen gas breath is a leap of faith.  To claim this test as a gold standard is presumptous on his part. With any procedure to be awarded that level of confidence, the science must be properly understood.  Microbial decomposition is happening inside us, the gas is released by our guts, but it is not the cause, it's merely a symptom.

Microbes ... bacteria are "social microbes", intelligent and symbiotic, this social action allows for those micro organisms to function as if they were one single organism.  Unless one treats for this microbial mutualism and their pathogenic process, you will not overcome / overwhelm this set of microbes.

Decomposition is an action by microbes which is for recomposition of other forms. These forms are intelligent, fast replicating, and difficult to treat unless you understand the actions performed by these microbes while they are inside of our small intestine.

Their actions create new life forms inside us, they are extremeophilic, thermophilic, and hard to destroy, as we know so little about these microoorganisms. Picture is a stool specimen which has been dehydrated, cultured, resulting growth is, I believe, a marine sponge.

It has always been my intention to provide a historical approach to the goings-on in Steve's Images group on Facebook, and the work of Steve Beddingfield. I was unaware of this resource for the first six months I was actively studying and providing the information here, because it was simply never brought up that I saw. There was a protocol version in the Files at the group that I believe one of the then-administrators had provided, which was then updated and upgraded and I was reflecting those in this topic.  So in late September 2015 I am adding this into the information provided on this thread. 

It's been my privilege to be seeing this, I think, history-making, ground breaking work of Steve Beddingfield and the way that collaborations with those in his group or who he otherwise communes with have ushered his work along.  I hope it serves to inspire many people who are thinking they're not with the education, qualifications, background, intelligence, drive, etc. to solve their health problems and / or go on to also help others to be proactive.  And I hope all who are involved continue to pursue the efforts to help themselves and be doing what they're going to be inspired by while on Earth, and be collectively 'the ripple effect'! Look how far you've come, Steve Beddingfield! Kudos!

 13,000 reads of the topic as of editing on October 24, 2015 -- just about exactly 10 months from the day I realized the importance of this information I have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours compiling here --- copying photos, uploading them and then downloading them, getting information to clarify things when needed in order to provide here a written record of highlights for YOUsers finding this helpful to work with and perhaps some finding the information by Searching on the Internet and benefitting. Please, if you feel you've benefitted, let me know ....
