Are you or someone you know dealing with Lyme?

 

It all gets confusing!

I will share here what I have learned over the years. This page is a working progress and will grow as I find time to update it. 

What is Lyme?

Lyme is a buzz word being thrown everywhere, but it's so much more!


When someone says that they have chronic Lyme, what it actually means is that they have multiple chronic infections and viruses, and that the immune system is overloaded and can't protect the body anymore.
The body goes into shut down, the nervous system is shot, and chronic fatigue starts being one of the main concern. 
"Lyme" is accompanied by a list a mile long of other problems like pain, brain fog, sleep issues, digestive issues, IBS, malaise, heat intolerance.... I can just continue on and on. But the worse part, is that the thyroid stats acting up, the body starts breaking down and other much more complicated diseases start to take place.

 

Ticks can carry:

Bacterial Diseases:
Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Tularemia, Tick-borne relapsing fever, Southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI), Bartonella

Viral Diseases:
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), Colorado tick fever, Powassan virus disease, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever

Parasitic Diseases:
Babesiosis

To heal from Lyme, we need to reduce the bacterial and viral load, remove the inflammation from the body, get the nervous system back to health, and believe that a cure is possible!
