The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates 100,000 new cases of Lyme disease annually. Given the difficulty of diagnosing bacteria with 50 known strains and the ability to mimic other diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, MS and Alzheimer's disease, statistical data can be much higher. Some doctors believe Lyme disease is the No. 1 disease in the United States with an annual cost of at least $ 60 million! (NIAID). This figure includes only the treatment of early stage Lyme disease, without taking into account the effect of long-term disability or systemic complications of the late stage “chronic” Lyme.
Given the high cost of treatment, the complexity of the diagnosis and the controversy about over-prescribing an antibiotic for Lyme patients, the following list is for educating people about what they can do on their own. According to anecdotal research and personal recommendations, these herbs and life supplements have helped many and cured some. Limited scientific research has begun to support many of these treatments. Note: this does not determine medical advice, but rather offers some useful places to direct your research. :
Prima Una de Gato : Leather cat TOA-Free, also known as Samento. Some survivors found significant improvement with speech impairment (stopped talking in opposites), memory, and some improvement in joint pain. A little goes a long way, and it needs to be added gradually to avoid the large Herxheimer reaction.
Oregano Oil : This is just a great addition to having on hand anyway, given all the concerns about swine flu. Oregano oil is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic. Its structure is complex and therefore less likely that spirochetes develop immunity. Tablets, as a rule, make people come off, but the liquid burns. Mixing drops in water with Liquid Chlorophyll makes it easier to swallow. This combo also offers additional alkalizing effects due to chlorophyll. (Those who have respiratory diseases can also inhale steam from a few drops in a pot of boiling water).
Teasel root tincture This is difficult to achieve, but if you find it, you may find it very useful for joint pain. Taking the root of the teapot completely removed the years of my husband's arthritic symptoms — almost overnight. I heard similar stories from other Lyme people who managed to develop their own or find liqueurs or teas on the Internet.
Reishi Mushrooms : Reishi is an adaptogenic, medicinal mushroom. The term "adaptogen" means that it teaches the body how to act in an appropriate, balanced way. If something is inactive, Reishi will be strengthened. If something works, Reishi will soften it. Reishi also oxygenates the blood, often improving memory and mental acuity in this process.
Home protection : This is a specific combination of medicinal mushrooms with traditional medicines. He allegedly boosts immune function by 30%. Many Lyme survivors found that additional immunity in the immune system helped them reduce joint pain and fatigue.
Meat mushrooms Another medicinal mushroom, Maitake sees that it works well for Lyme and supports the immune system. Medicinal plants have their profiles. Maitake activates the immune system and sees to provide more general energy.
Resveratrol This imprint found in the skins of dark grapes, red wine and Japanese notewood, offers strong support for the immune system. Anecdotal evidence and raw materials expert David Wolfe recognize resveratrol as one of the best additions to Lyme disease.
Nitric oxide This one sounds controversial, but some studies have shown that nitrous oxide is highly toxic to Lyme bacteria. As a rule, dentists are given during treatment, it may not be possible to calculate how much of the improvement is due to getting rid of Lyme patients from simultaneous infections in the gums and teeth that distract the immune system from Lyme treatment ... and how much direct improvement someone gets nitrous oxide itself. In any case, if you or someone you know is suffering from gum disease or dental problems. And with Lyme, you may at least want to get rid of a secondary infection.
Heat : Some people are known to resort to malaria to improve Lyme disease - a fact that gives an unknowing idea of how destructive and desperate life with Lyme may seem. I spoke with naturopath about this phenomenon, and he told me that this is a fever associated with malaria, which does the trick. "If he doesn't kill you, he will kill Lyme." Some people use far infrared saunas to get similar results. Keep in mind that the reaction of Herxheimer (dying off) Lyme bacteria can cause nausea, headaches and dizziness. If you use heat to fight Lyme, make sure that you gradually train and take precautions to ensure your safety.
Raw foods : Raw foods and chlorophyll alkalize the system, and Lyme disease, like most diseases, prefers an acidic system. I know the raw gourmets, who in any case received Lyme, but everything that alkalized creates a less favorable environment for spirochetes.
Colostrum A: This is not a vegan product, but some vegans have chosen to include it in their Lyme arsenal, because it greatly boosts the immune system.
Probiotics : Since most Lyme sufferers come with several rounds of intestinal antibiotics, some strong probiotics - from the chilled area - help restore the intestines. Preserving a balanced intestinal flora helps the body fight all and all diseases.
Hope this list gives you a place to start. I do not sell any of these products, and I am not familiar with any particular brand. If you decide to research products, take the time to study the quality of the brand yourself. I just listed these items as a service, because I know how difficult it is to find the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease. In the case of Lyme, antibiotics often help, but the immune structures of herbs and mushrooms offer additional powerful ways to rejuvenate the body and enhance it from the reality of the spirochete to the realm of integrity and bliss. Combined with life course assessments, anger and self-esteem, physical treatment provides real hope in a growing epidemic.
