Are you wondering if antibiotics are the best treatment option for Lyme disease?

   

Antibiotics are the leading therapy option for most infections, but Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose, often missed entirely, or is confused with other conditions due to the conflicting symptoms.

   

Often, antibiotics aren’t an effective treatment for Lyme & tick-borne illness, and in some cases can make patients worse. After all, treating a complex infection that can consist of multiple pathogens, bacteria, and viruses, and is different with every tick bite, isn’t a simple matter.

   

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, approximately 10 to 20 percent of people treated with the recommended antibiotics for Lyme disease still have persisting symptoms after they complete treatment.

   

For many, an integrative approach to healing may prove to be a better alternative.

   

There is a lot of information out there, but learning about the best treatment options available to you doesn’t have to be difficult.

   

This guide will walk you through the common antibiotics used in the treatment of Lyme disease, the applications and side effects, plus alternative options to choose from.

Why Antibiotics Are Usually the Go-To Treatment

 

Lyme & tick-borne disease is caused by bacterial pathogens that invade the body, which can cause a multitude of possible co-infections, and make diagnosis and treatment difficult.

   

Antibiotics are usually the first line of defense for chronic Lyme disease due to its similarities to other conditions, for which antibiotics are usually effective. This can lead to misdiagnosis. Many medical professionals unfamiliar with the complexities of Lyme & tick borne disease strictly treat chronic Lyme disease symptoms with antibiotics rather than explore other treatments.

   

Although some treatment methods differ between cultures, demand for antibiotics in the United States also tends to be higher while some countries, such as Germany, use antibiotic treatment as a last resort.

   

Are Antibiotics Effective in the Treatment of Lyme Disease?

 

Antibiotic intervention has been effective at the early stages or with acute infections, however, there are no guarantee when it comes to successful treatment and many cases are past the point where antibiotics have a significant effect, especially for those with persistent symptoms.

   

Lyme and tick-borne illness is caused by opportunistic bacteria that know how to adapt and trick the immune system to stay active inside the body, by using biofilms or other means of defense, they can outsmart antibiotics in many cases.

   

Some studies have found that while you may experience some subjective improvement while on antibiotics, the symptoms often return after the treatment stops.

   

When the pathogen survives this treatment, it can become resistant to most antibiotics as well, making that treatment modality ineffective. According to research, some patients exhibited symptoms for an extended period and had received multiple courses of antibiotics without significant improvement.

   

Long-term antibiotic therapy has been deemed ineffective, and in fact, most medical authorities advise against long-term antibiotic treatment for Lyme Disease for this reason.

   

Another common reason antibiotics can be ineffective is because patients don’t take them according to their physicians recommendations.

   

What Antibiotics are Used to Treat Lyme Disease?

 

There are several common antibiotics used in the treatment of Lyme disease. Some can’t be used in certain cases – pregnancy, children or allergies – but the table below includes the antibiotics, purpose, dosage, and duration for adults.

   

Antibiotic

 

Purpose

 

Doxycycline

 

Stops the growth of bacteria – not for viral infections. This antibiotic is not used with young children or pregnant women (due to the damaging effects on the fetus).

 

Amoxicillin

 

A penicillin-type antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria – not for viral infections. Can be used with children or pregnant women.

 

Cefuroxime axetil (Ceftin)

 

Stops the growth of a wide variety of bacterial infections and is commonly used to prevent infection from certain surgeries. Can be used with children or pregnant women who are allergic to amoxicillin.

 

Azithromycin (Zithromax)

 

Commonly known as a Z-Pak. The once per day dosage usually makes it easier for patients to remember to take it. Stops a wide variety of bacterial infections and is sometimes used as a penicillin alternative for those who are allergic to penicillin. It can also be used with children.

 

Ceftriaxone (Rocephin)

 

A highly potent antibiotic administered via injection to treat serious bacterial infections. Preferred choice for neurologic Lyme disease.

 

Cefotaxime (Claforan)

 

A recommended alternative to Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) for Lyme disease with acute neurological disease, for patients with Lyme carditis or late manifestations of Lyme disease. Administered intravenously.

Lyme Disease Antibiotic Treatment Guide for Adults

 

These regimens are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted depending on a person’s age, medical history, underlying health conditions, pregnancy status, allergies or advances in medicine. Treatments are listed in order of most to least preferred.

 

The information below is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease, please follow the professional advice of a qualified physician.

   

Stage of Lyme Disease

 

Antibiotic Type/Dosage/Duration

 

Prevention of Lyme Disease

 

Doxycycline – 200 mg dose

 

Early Localized

(Erythema migrans)

 

Doxycycline – 100 mg dose orally twice per day – 10-21 Days

Or

Amoxicillin – 500 mg dose orally three times per day – 14-21 Days

Or

Cefuroxime axetil (Ceftin) – 500 mg dose orally twice per day – 14-21 Days

Or

Azithromycin (Zithromax) – 500 mg dose orally once per day – 7-10 Days

 

Early Disseminated

(Cardiac or Neurologic)

 

Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) – 2 g dose intravenously per day – 14-21 Days

Or

Ceftriaxone (Claforan) – 2 g dose intravenously every 8 hours – 14-21 Days

Or

Doxycycline – 200-400 mg dose orally in two divided doses per day – 10-28 Days

 

Late Stage

(Arthritis or Neurologic)

 

Same oral antibiotics used for erythema migrans

Or

Same intravenous antibiotics used for early disseminated disease

Treating Children with Antibiotics

 

A typical treatment for children less than 8 years old would include oral amoxicillin three times a day. If the child is allergic to that antibiotic, cefuroxime axetil would take its place, but only twice a day. Children over 8 years old would take doxycycline twice daily for the same duration of time, and anyone allergic to it would receive amoxicillin or cefuroxime axetil instead.

 

Treatments usually last 2-4 weeks.

   

Treating Pregnant Women with Antibiotics

 

According to the CDC, no life-threatening effects on the fetus have been found in cases when the mother receives antibiotic treatment, however, most physicians will change the normal treatment of doxycycline to amoxicillin, since doxycycline can affect fetal development.

   

Typical treatment for pregnant women with Lyme disease includes:

 

Oral amoxicillin

 

500 mg

 

Three times a day for 2-3 weeks.

   

Allergies to amoxicillin can change the treatment to 500 mg of cefuroxime axetil twice a day.

 

If you’re pregnant or if it’s a possibility, inform your doctor before any treatment.

   

Can Antibiotics Make Lyme Disease Symptoms Worse?

 

For some patients, lyme disease symptoms worsen for the first few days on an antibiotic, which occurs because the antibiotics start to kill the bacteria. For others, antibiotics have made their condition worse overall.

   

This is not to say there is not a place for antibiotics in the treatment of Lyme & tick-borne illness, but rather that we should take a look at the potential repercussions of antibiotic treatment, and consider the treatment preferences of the patient.

   

All antibiotics and medicines have side effects, so make sure you understand what common side effects you may experience. If you’re having persistent symptoms or are concerned about those you’re experiencing, contact your doctor immediately.

   

Common Lyme Disease Antibiotic Treatment Side Effects

 

Any antibiotics for Lyme disease can cause skin rashes, fever or diarrhea, while IV antibiotics can cause a low white blood cell count, and affect gut health. Some antibiotics create colonization or bacterial overgrowth with other antibiotic-resistant organisms unrelated to Lyme because antibiotics kill the good bacteria in our gut along with the bad.

   

It may be beneficial to use probiotics to restore the good bacteria and balance gut health, but make sure you speak with your doctor before taking anything.

Do Antibiotics Cure Lyme Disease?

 

As of 2018, there is no “cure” for Lyme disease and no definitive test to see if you are cured. Although some strains respond positively to antibiotics in early stages, one size does not fit all.

   

The pathogen can also reappear even after this type of treatment because Lyme disease is difficult to categorize, due to its multifaceted nature and treatment specialization in most doctors.

 

Even if a physician has working knowledge of Lyme disease, antibiotics aren’t always 100 percent effective. However, there are alternative treatment options besides antibiotics, often geared toward management and improving quality of life overall.

     

Lyme Disease Alternative Treatments When Antibiotics Don’t Work

 

So, what do you do when antibiotics don’t work? Despite the limited effectiveness of antibiotics, Lyme disease is not unmanageable.

   

Integrative Medicine

 

Integrative medicine, a healing-oriented approach that takes the whole person into account, including all aspects of a patient’s lifestyle, has opened up new possibilities for treatment.

   

These integrative treatments:

 

Are as non-toxic and non-invasive as possible, using the body’s natural systems to do most of the work.

 

Don’t have the side effects of antibiotics.

 

Are based on foundational medicine to strengthen the body’s resilience.

 

Are usually more patient-centered, focusing special attention on the individual’s needs.

   

Integrative treatments focus on the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health and provides the patient with more control.

   

What’s the Catch?

 

There are pros and cons to everything and integrative medicine is no different. This approach normally has a longer treatment time because these treatments often focus on the disease at its root, making it more of a marathon than a sprint.

   

This means it’s not the best choice in emergency cases, as opposed to traditional medicine, which is made to work fast. Also, integrative medicine doesn’t have as much research or regulation behind it as traditional medicine, although more is being added as years go on.

     

Integrative Treatment vs. Traditional Treatment

 

There’s no verifying evidence that supports traditional being better than integrative, and there are pros and cons to each. However, more doctors agree that when you work with your primary care physician and an integrative treatment approach, you experience a collaborative method working in your best interest.

   

Studies have found that many patients feel that integrative medicine helps with coping and management of chronic illnesses when conventional medicine offers no cure.

   

Creating an environment conducive to healing may require a multilevel unifying approach and personalized programs that take into the complicated behavior of Lyme disease.

   

Using your own body’s natural rhythms as a basis for healing also creates a better chance for relief from Lyme symptoms, which is why Infusio has a five step method to help the body find the balance it needs to manage Lyme, based on a foundational idea that your body can heal itself given the right environment, lifestyle changes, and intervention. This foundational protocol consists of:

   

Adjusting the immune system responses to restore healthy levels of the immune cells so they can detect and destroy the bacteria.

 

Re-establishing inner equilibrium for your cells and optimizing the cellular terrain with IV nutrients, minerals, amino acids, and trace elements.

 

Ensuring the natural detox pathways of the body are working and aid the body in discarding toxic waste.

 

Using natural antimicrobial treatments to reduce the bacterial and viral loads inside the body.

 

Providing essential lifestyle, nutrition, and stress management support that restores digestive health, reduces inflammation, and returns the body to a state of homeostasis.

 

By adding cellular or stem-cell based therapies to assist the body in tissue repair, and by establishing a healthy regulation capacity within this treatment, a majority of our Lyme patients have improved to a point where their quality of life has significantly improved, and their symptoms have diminished enough to manage.

   

The Infusio Five Steps to Health philosophy which integrates immune system optimization, cell therapy, and cutting-edge treatments even improved symptoms and gave many patients relief when other traditional treatments didn’t.

 

Main Takeaways:

 

Antibiotics are primarily effective in early stages and with acute infections, although there is no guarantee they will work at any stage.

 

Antibiotic treatments are based on certain factors, including age, pregnancy, allergies and stages of Lyme.

 

There is no “cure” for Lyme disease, yet.

 

Treatments often work better with a multi-faceted approach, including traditional medicine and a holistic base.

 

Always research, work with your primary physician and remember that nothing works for everyone.

 

For those who prefer a more holistic approach, Infusio has one of the most comprehensive Lyme programs available, with cutting edge stem-cell based treatments including exosome therapy, to restore, strengthen, and optimize the body for a long-term recovery.

Provider Grill opens at new location

 

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.

 

The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.

 

Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.

 

“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”

 

Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.

 

“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.

 

“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”

 

Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.

 

“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.

 

“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”

 

Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.

 

“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”

 

David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.

 

“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.

 

Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.

 

"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”

Grey Shirts patrol poor citizen behavior; ensure homeless remain out of view and in compliance with party line.

 

Legal Observers & taking photos of #GreyShirts garners their surveillance.

 

Certain individual Grey Shirt officers are notorious among the homeless community. Seeking justice for the homeless includes accountability for these "effective" #GreyShirts serving City Of Victoria.

 

Legal Observers report #GreyShirt harassment of food, fluid & witness providers for the homeless community being shuffled/moved around city as some form of psychological torture by City Of Victoria Bylaw.

____________________

 

As Covid settles in and gives settlers a taste of an unwelcome invasion; capitalism and colonialism resume their war on the poor and homeless to rescue real estate values from the impoverished hordes' negative effect upon their bottom line and retirement plans.

 

Their fragile privilege fears see hordes of zombie homeless stealing 10 thousand dollar bicycles from yards, napalming parks, and committing mass killings of children with used syringes.

 

Reality is that the homeless, the poor, and the housing crisis are the rich's own manifestation; and very soon the housing bubble burst and massive household debt will no longer be able to be blamed upon the impoverished; when the recession rears it's ugly head. Unemployment will explode (unless they've implemented UBI), and there will be an obese glut of housing.

 

The best example I can provide for a mild recession is what I saw in London, England's Isle of Dogs. It got bad enough that there were entire neighborhoods abandoned. If you wanted housing, you just found empty housing and squatted; people were allowed to connect and pay utilities, but the housing was free.

 

This recession will NOT be mild. The only answer to keep the economy going, to keep people serving the rich, will be to provide Universal Basic Income (UBI), of some sort. (NOT the one you're thinking of; a good one)

 

...in the short term we will need housing provided by government, and improved income until UBI is sorted out; there is no reason to delay allowing people to live in dignity. Canada's Prime Minister already spoke out loud what he believed to be the basic income people need to survive; so he will need to cough it up; now.

 

For the moment; in the now; we need to draw attention to the atrocities; shame Canada on the international stage; scare away investment dollars because of visible unrest.; to rub Canada's face in how much it costs THEM to keep US POOR and HOMELESS.

 

We need to obstruct their precious views; and drain their wallets in every legal venue available; whether it be in street protest, or flooding the bureaucracy with screams, shouts, and demands for justice; helping the system devour itself.

Can I use the photograph with the watermark?

Yes! Absolutely - you can post this photograph to your social networks, blogs, micro-blogging, etc.

 

How can I get a full resolution, no watermark, copy of these photographs?

 

All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.

 

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

 

In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.

 

If you would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?

Some people offer payment for our photographs. We do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would pay for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.

 

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Freedom Golf Association’s First Annual “Honor Wounded Vets 5K Run/Walk” succeeds in showing how adaptive golf is aiding vets’ road to recovery

 

The enthusiasm and good will were palpable at McDonald’s corporate campus in Oak Brook, Illinois on Sunday, October 29 as the Freedom Golf Association’s (FGA) First Annual “Honor Wounded Vets 5K Run/Walk” succeeded in drawing attention to the fact that adaptive golf is clearly helping wounded vets return to normality after their military service. The more than 100 participants conquered the 5K course to show their support for the programs of the Freedom Golf Association, which is leading the way In Illinois in bringing the joy of golf to persons with physical, emotional and developmental needs.

 

“The 5K Run/Walk was a terrific way to honor Veterans who have been wounded in their service to the country and to acknowledge Illinois’ wounded vets, a growing number of whom have taken up golf to enjoy its many physical, emotional and social benefits,” said Sally Ruecking, FGA’s Vice President of Strategic Advancement. “Adaptive golf is bringing fun into the lives of people who are often left out due to their disabilities.”

 

Cheered on by the music of the Elmhurst College Jazz Band and with welcoming remarks from E.Q. Sylvester, Chairman of FGA; radio and TV personality Bob Sirott of event co-sponsor WLS-AM radio; and Ruecking, the runners and walkers took to the track with smiles and a sense of mission.

Among the women, the overall winner was Eileen Skisak of La Grange, IL with a time of 18:59. Eileen also ran in fifth place overall. The second-place women’s winner was 12-year old Alexandra Two, with a time of 25:36; third place went to 10-year old Kelly Fergus of Chicago, with a time of 27:27.

Freedom Golf Association leads the way in bringing adaptive golf to Illinois and is an integral part of the growing national movement, which has been embraced by major golf entities such as the PGA, LPGA and USGA.

 

“Freedom Golf Association encourages corporations with cause marketing programs that help the disabled to become FGA sponsors or corporate foundation grant providers and help us grow,” said Ruecking.

  

About Freedom Golf Association

Freedom Golf Association (FGA), a 501(C)3 non-profit charitable organization, is the leading adaptive golf organization in Illinois and is a charter member of the United States Adaptive Golf Alliance. FGA was founded in July 2012 by Edmund (E.Q.) Sylvester. E.Q. is a director of the Western Golf Association (WGA), member of the United States Senior Golf Association (USSGA), member of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and a triple amputee. FGA is dedicated to bringing joy and a sense of freedom to the special needs community through their inclusion in the game of golf.

 

FGA believes that all special needs individuals deserve a chance to accomplish the same things as any others do and work towards bringing a positive transformation to their lives. FGA contributes to the positive development of those with special needs through the magic of golf.

 

FGA works to assist individuals with disabilities in many ways:

•Provides professionally run adaptive golf instructional clinics and golf events

•Engages children, adults and veterans with special needs in FREE adaptive golf instruction with other classmates

•Conducts adaptive golf training workshops to increase the number of qualified adaptive golf coaches to instruct individuals with special needs

•Provides leadership and collaboration with nationally recognized organizations on how to expand/grow adaptive golf programs

 

Based on its growing understanding of the needs of disabled golfers, the FGA has developed a ground-breaking Adaptive Golf Enhancement Program™ that increases the golfing ability of special needs golfers. FGA’s golf coaches learn this six-step process, which helps them better understand and enhance the capabilities of special needs golfers.

 

To assist coaches and special needs golfers in determining what adaptive measures would be most beneficial, FGA recently invested in what they call a “personal swing sensors and computerized program” to 1) measure the disabled golfer’s initial swing path and limitations; 2) develop an appropriate exercise program to improve flexibility and range of motion; and 3) to chart the golfer’s progress, using the initial swing measurements as a baseline.

 

In 2016, FGA provided more than 1,300 adaptive golf lessons. In the same year, 110 special needs golfers went out and played on the course. Ten individuals became trained FGA Adaptive Golf Coaches, growing the total number to 42.

 

79 cents out of every dollar received goes to FGA’s special needs golf programs and events. FGA has led 40 Chicagoland courses in becoming accessible to the disabled community.

 

For more information about the Freedom Golf Association, please visit the official website at www.fgagolf.org and the online newsroom at www.newsline360.com/freedomgolfassociation. Contact FGA by phone at 855-342-4465 or 630-455-6018, or by email at playgolf@fgagolf.org. Donations to Freedom Golf Association can be made at www.fgagolf.org/donate.html.

Provider Grill opens at new location

 

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.

 

The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.

 

Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.

 

“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”

 

Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.

 

“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.

 

“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”

 

Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.

 

“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.

 

“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”

 

Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.

 

“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”

 

David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.

 

“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.

 

Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.

 

"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”

Provider Grill opens at new location

 

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.

 

The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.

 

Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.

 

“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”

 

Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.

 

“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.

 

“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”

 

Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.

 

“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.

 

“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”

 

Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.

 

“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”

 

David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.

 

“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.

 

Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.

 

"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”

They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”

During World War II, both Great Britain and Germany had experimented with very large glider designs (the Hamlicar and Gigant, respectively) capable of carrying tanks. Though glider assaults had varying results during the war, the US Air Force briefly considered resurrecting the idea in 1948, and commissioned Chase Aircraft to build a large glider, the XCG-20 Avitruc. The XCG-20 was of all-metal construction, with a fully-equipped flight deck and a rear-mounted loading ramp for vehicles to be driven directly into the fuselage. The USAF abandoned the idea of glider assaults soon after the first XCG-20 was completed, but Chase had anticipated this: through the simple installation of two propeller-driven engines, the XCG-20 became the XC-123. This itself was considered only an interim design, as the XC-123A had four turbojet engines, becoming the first all-jet transport aircraft.

 

The USAF rejected the XC-123A, as it was found to have poor performance and short range, owing to the thirsty jets of the early 1950s. However, the piston-engined XC-123 showed promise, and the USAF ordered it into production in 1953. Production was delayed due to Chase Aircraft being acquired by Kaiser, who in turn sold the design to Fairchild Aircraft, who would produce it as the C-123B Provider.

 

The C-123 was considered a supplemental aircraft to the C-119 Flying Boxcar already in service and the soon-to-be-deployed C-130 Hercules. It had better single-engine performance than the C-119, and acquired a reputation for reliability, rugged design, simple maintenance, and the ability to land almost anywhere. A small number were converted to C-123J standard, with ski landing gear for operations in Antarctica and Greenland, and experiments were even made to convert it to an amphibian. Nevertheless, the number of C-123s in service were small compared to other types, and the C-130 began replacing it beginning in 1958.

 

As the United States involved itself more in the Vietnam War, one major advantage of its Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army adversaries was the very jungle of Vietnam itself, which provided ready-made cover and camouflage from American air units. In an attempt to deprive the VC/NVA of jungle cover in known concentration areas, the USAF converted a number of C-123s to UC-123 standard, with spraying equipment for the pesticide Agent Orange. Under Operation Ranch Hand, UC-123s were among the first USAF aircraft deployed to Vietnam, and the first USAF aircraft lost in combat was a UC-123B. Spraying Agent Orange was very dangerous work, as it involved flying low and slow over hostile territory; it would not be until after the Vietnam War was over that it was learned that Agent Orange, used in the concentrated quantity employed in Vietnam, was also a deadly carcinogenic.

 

Besides their controversial employment as defoilant sprayers, standard C-123s were used as transports and Candlestick flareships, as the C-130 demand was exceeding supply, and the US Army’s CV-2 (later C-8) Caribous were proving the worth of a short-takeoff and landing transport. To improve the Provider’s performance in the “hot and high” conditions of Vietnam, two J85 turbojets were added beneath the wings of the C-123K variant, which became the final Provider variant and the main type used in Vietnam. CIA-flown Providers were used by Air America to clandestinely supply friendly Hmong tribes in Laos and in Cambodia, while two specialized NC-123K Black Spot aircraft were used to monitor traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, bringing in gunships to engage any targets—though the Black Spots could also carry bombs. 54 C-123s were lost in Vietnam, second only to the C-130.

 

Following the end of American involvement in Vietnam, the C-123Ks were either handed over to South Vietnam or relegated to USAF Reserve and Air National Guard units, from which they were finally withdrawn around 1980. A few UC-123Ks were used to spray insecticides in Alaska and Guam as late as 1982. 11 other air forces used Providers, and the last C-123s were retired from the South Korean Air Force in 2001. 27 are preserved as museum pieces and a few remain in revenue service as “bush” aircraft in Alaska and elsewhere; remaining aircraft in storage were scrapped due to Agent Orange contamination.

 

The C-123K Provider on display in the Malmstrom Museum’s model collection belongs to the 311th Air Commando Squadron, based at Phan Rang, South Vietnam. It carries standard Southeast Asia camouflage of two shades of green and tan over white. This aircraft is that flown by Lieutenant Colonel Joe Jackson on his Medal of Honor mission.

Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.

 

“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.

 

“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”

 

Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.

 

“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”

 

David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.

 

“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.

 

Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.

 

"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”

Covington’s Collision Center owners and twin brothers Bucky and Rocky Covington keep the family business, in Westmoreland, TN, up to speed with today’s communication demands with their connection to North Central Telephone Cooperative Corporation (NCTC) fiber-optic cables, in Lafayette, TN, on Sept. 26, 2018. The high-speed connection makes phone calls clear and consistent; the search for auto body parts fast; and the sending of photos to amend estimates and keeping customers visually aware of work progress an effortless process.

 

North Central Telephone Cooperative Corporation (NCTC), headquartered in Lafayette, Tennessee has been an active borrower with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) since 1951. They service subscribers in several exchanges across both Tennessee and Kentucky. The cooperative is a full-service provider, providing voice, video, data, broadband, home security, cloud services and data center solutions.

 

Over the past 10 years, NCTC has received funds in the form of $101,782,663M in loans and $25,930,868M in grants.

 

The company’s most recent loan, which was obligated in 2017, will be used to make system improvements in 5 of North Central's 10 exchanges (Green Grove, Hillsdale, Red Boiling Springs, Scottville, and Lafayette). This will complete their fiber to the premises network throughout their territory. This project is currently in the “construction” phase.

 

USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) administers programs that provide much-needed infrastructure or infrastructure improvements to rural communities. These include water and waste treatment, electric power and telecommunications services. All of these services play a critical role in helping to expand economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for rural residents.

Provider Grill opens at new location

 

CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.

 

The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.

 

Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.

 

“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”

 

Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.

 

“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.

 

“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”

"1. It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

to sing praises to your name, O Most High;

2 to declare your steadfast love in ithe morning,

and your faithfulness by night,

3 to the music of the lute and the harp,

to the melody of the lyre.

4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;

at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

5 How great are your works, O Lord!

 

12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree

and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 They are planted in the house of the Lord;

they flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They still bear fruit in old age;

they are ever full of sap and green,

15 to declare that the Lord is upright;

he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him."
