Lyme disease

[Guest guest]

Lyme disease is a very serious infection caused by a strong bacteria called

spirochetes.  Early diagnosis and treatment are very effective - but if not

treated right away the spirochettes are highly adaptable and can become

non-responsive to antibiotic therapy.  They especially like to live in the

collagenous areas of the body such as joints, brain, spinal cord.

Steven Buhner in 'Healing Lyme: Natual Healing and Prevention of Lyme

Borrelliosis and Its Coinfection " outlines fantastically the cause of Lyme, how

the spirochete functions in the body, and a 4 pronged approach to herbal

treatment that includes 1)killing the spirochete, 2) immune modulation and

support 3)collagenous tissue support and 4)symptomatic support.

The other issue with Lyme is that often there are undiagnosed co-infections as a

result of the tick bite which can be viral in nature and thus not responsive to

antibiotics either.

 

I was diagnosed with a very early case of Lyme this summer and treated

successfully with a course of antibiotics.  I did extensive research on the

subject at the time and was amazed by what I discovered.  It seems this is a

very  misunderstood disease at the moment.   There are less mainstream types of

treatment out there that intend to kill the spirochette via vibrational

healing.  A vibration is introduced to the body that literally destroys the

spirochettes.  Some people use Rife machines and others called a Meridian Health

Assessment.   A colleague of mine has had very good results receiving

vibrational treatment for her advanced Lyme.

 

I tend to think of acupuncture use in Lyme disease as supportive for the system,

to combat fatigue, boost the immune system, etc but not to directly kill the

bacteria causing the Lyme.  I do think well-researched herbal treatment could be

very effective.   I'm curious what other practitioners have discovered while

researching or treating Lyme...
