Remember the nursery rhyme about the old lady who swallowed a fly? I’ve had that song stuck in my head for the last few days. To me it illustrates something I learned at the Klinghardt conference last weekend.

I’ve never thought too much about the order of treatment when it comes to Lyme. All doctors seem to have their own theories and protocols that work for them and their patients. Klinghardt treats in this order: parasites, then mold, then bacteria, then viruses.

Why? Well this is where the old lady who swallowed a fly comes in. Klinghardt is treating from largest to the smallest micro organisms. If the old lady was right, she swallowed a cat to catch the bird to catch the spider to catch the fly… So theoretically the old lady now has all these animals inside her and each of those animals now also has all of the smaller animals inside them. The same goes for the micro organisms.

The bacteria are infected with viruses, the mold is infected with bacteria and viruses and the parasites are infected with mold, bacteria and viruses. If you start by killing viruses they are going to be re-released into your system when you start killing the bacteria, and on up the line. Thinking like this, starting with the largest micro organism and working down to the smallest seems like the most logical way to go.
