An Update on my Health: 6 Month after Returning from Germany

It's been over 6 months since my return from Germany.  I have received on a number of occasions emails from readers of the blog inquiring about my state of health since my last blog entry.  As such, I will try to address those questions through this post.

Unfortunately, I do not have any good news to report -- I have not felt better and did not noticed any lasting benefit from the treatment I received in Germany last year.  Does that mean the photon treatment and Dr. Woitzel's clinic was a scam?  No, far from it.  As I mentioned previously, I knew going into the treatment that it is not a silver bullet.  In fact, I don't think there is ever going to be a silver bullet when it comes to Lyme disease treatment.  I have witnessed the treatment having helped a number of patients with my own eyes while I was there, so I know for a fact that it works.  But does that mean it works 100% of the time?  Of course not; and neither did the clinic make that claim.

Does it work 95% or even 90% of the time as claimed by some literature in my research prior to the trip?  From what I have seen, I doubt that is the case.  I think the number is probably closer to 50%.  Regardless, 50% is still a very good number of people who have tried everything and nothing seem to have helped.

In any case, the point that I'm trying to make is that the treatment did not work for me, but it doesn't mean it is a scam as some would argue.  I have a suspicion that heavy metal toxicity (i.e., mercury, lead, etc.) might have a central role to play in blocking the treatment's effectiveness.  Since returning from Germany, I have spent quite some time on researching the causes and treatments for mercury toxicity -- not just the common knowledge on the subject such as silver amalgams and large fish being the sources, or chelation through the various protocols such as the Cutler protocol or DMPS IV chelation (I've done them all), but the deeper reasons and mechanisms for one to accumulate heavy metals and the ways to reverse that.

I stumbled upon the subject of methylation during my research, and I think this is it.  For starters, please check out an excellent report written by Scott Forsgren from a few years ago.  Here is another helpful article on methylation and Lyme.  It is a very good primer on what the methylation cycle is and why it is important.  The subject of methylation is a very complex one, and currently I am in the process of arranging for the various blood and urine tests to give me the roadmap on how to tackle any deficiencies.  I am convinced this is a hugely important piece of the puzzle for the chronic Lyme sufferers in their search for recovery.


All in all, I have not lost hope yet.  Despite having suffered for some 12 years and failing almost all Lyme disease treatments under the sun, there is still hope.  At one point shortly after coming back from Germany last year, I was overwhelmed by a sense of loss, sadness, and disappointment due to the lack of any improvements, despite having spent a significant amount of saving to make the trip.  In the abyss of hopelessness, I prayed to the Lord for His guidance.  Shortly afterwards, I came across the subject of methylation and it stuck out to me for some reason I couldn't explain.  After digging into the subject further, I now believe this was the answer to my prayer that the Lord has prepared for me.

I will continue to keep you posted in the days to come on my journey.  Stay tuned.

  1. Thanks for posting an update! I feel your loss in treatments not working but I'm encouraged by your ability to look to the Lord for guidance and by faith believing that the answer you received was for you. Keep believing my friend! You might want to check this book out. I believe it talks some about the methylization cycle as well as another called the OHNOO cycle. see link-

    I got the book through interlibrary loan to read.

  7. I'm sorry that you didn't have good success in Germany. It sounds to me like he didn't treat the whole body and all the facets that go along with Lyme! My daughter went to Germany but to a different doctor who did many things in addition to biophoton. She had IV ozone, IV detox, high dose vitamin C IV infusions as well as amino acid infusions. The doctor also does IV chelation to help with heavy metal detoxing. I've heard of others going to Dr. Wötzel and none of them have gotten better. My daughter is healed after only 11 weeks of treatment. 4 others have since gone to the same doctor and have also been healed. Doctors have to be willing to treat the whole body for the whole body to get well!!

  8. Can you tell us if you took your daughter to St George, in Germany? Just heard Aaron call into Thom Hartmann Show, saying in Oregon lots of Lyme patients have found a cure in Germany, he was going w/son for treatment, having had success for wife and daughter. This left me with some hope for a cure, just can't afford to waste money on something that does not work.

  9. You must read Medical Medium by Anthony William published in November 2015. He talks about 61 different strains of the Epstein-barr virus that 59 cannot be tested for and the interrelationship of metals as a food source for the virus. You can recover if u follow the EBV protocol in the book. Most importantly he states that the cause of Lyme Symptoms is one or more of the 61 strains of EBV. I wish u all the best and a complete recovery. It will happen. Mark from Boston Ma.

  11. Dr. Woitzel treatment success is directly aligned with your thinking/mind/mental/emotional and Spiritual health. If you believe you ARE the Lyme or you HAVE lyme/it's your identity...which most humans overtime form this connection...it will work less if any at all. Your mind has the ability to absolutely get in the way and ruin treatment which he also states. This is harder for individuals to grasp as they don't want to be told this or work on their mind/body connections...which brings up a plethora of issues we fear to look at and guard from re-opening old wounds. I would never jump into Woitzel without first working an emotional/Spiritual program first....whatever aligns with you most. Retreats, Meditation, God, Buddha, a 12-step program (free), individual talk therapy or even better Somatic Therapy. Hope this helps, people need to know! Much love and Healing your way!

  12. Dr. WOITZEL (BioPhoton Therapy) STATES:

    How Disease Happens:

    Every cell of the human body has a nucleus with DNA. From this DNA, and as established by Popp, biophotons are emitted, which control the metabolism inside, as well as outside, the cell. A change in the balance of the cell’s biophotons by toxins, bacteria, viruses or electromagnetic radiation brings about a disturbance in the cell and leads, over time, to disease in one or several organs.

    Thus, ANY ILLNESS manifests itself first on an ENERGETIC LEVEL!!!!, and since ENERGY is superior to matter (matter is comprised of ENERGY), any change in the body’s ENERGY eventually leads to changes in the body’s biochemistry, as well. The balance of the body’s biophotons can be restored, however, by therapy that brings photonic light back into the cells.

    Since disease manifests itself first on an ENERGETIC level, I always treat any disease with ENERGETIC methods first, if my patients are WILLING (!!!!) to collaborate. The most effective of these involves treatment with photons within the 880-nm (880 nanometer) infrared range. With this type of therapy, I can directly influence the biophotonic balance of my patients’ cells and change or normalize the energetic information found therein. As a result of normalizing their energy, the biochemistry of their physical bodies normalizes, as well.

    He goes on to state:
    It is important to note here that the lymphocytes destroy most of the body’s Borrelia. Any Borrelia that remains in the body is inactivated and doesn’t cause symptoms because the body’s cells no longer resonate with the infection. Only in cases of extreme ENERGETIC stress can the organism re-emerge and cause symptoms again.

    AND, goes on to say, MOST IMPORTANT!!!!

    Heal the Mind, Heal the Body:

    In addition to physical toxins, the cells release emotional toxins as a result of photon therapy. Whenever this happens, I do a type of mental training program with my patients to help them process the emotional toxins. The aim of the program is to give them the opportunity to heal themselves by using different mental techniques. I can only offer this type of therapy to patients who speak my language (German) well, however, or who are READY TO CHANGE THEIR WAY OF THINKING!!! One of the things that I always tell my patients is that I believe that any illness, including Lyme disease, originates on a SPIRITUAL level first and only manifests itself later in the body and soul. I also believe that illness is a prompting for patients to change something in their lives on a spiritual level, and often I am amazed at how successful they are at doing this.
