LYME DISEASE?? was: Butches Oregano Vulgare - and Intro

[Guest guest]

Hi Linda,

I too lurk here on this list but did want to comment about Tick

borne diseases.

 

Many of them are so very debilitating and most folks don't realize

that once you get infected by any of the tick borne diseases they

NEVER ever leave the body. Antibiotics if given soon after the

infection (tick bite) within 24 hours MAY help to rid the body, but

most all the time the tick borne infection will win and be found

years to decades later.

 

They will hide and lurk in the bodies connective tissues. Places

like the joints that really aren't bathed in a normal blood supply.

And what they do is cause a lot of joint pains - ie arthritis and

rheumatism. Although they can affect kidneys, livers and hearts too.

 

The best line of defense is to have a really healthy immune system.

The body can then keep it under control and depending on your stress

and other health related issues it may never be an issue. But young

people have hectic lives - juggling work and kids and who knows what

else and so their body may not be able to handle the stress and then

those tick borne diseases can rear their ugly heads.

 

Besides Lyme disease, there are other ones Ehrlichiosis, and

Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis, and of course Rocky Mountain Spotted fever

to name just a few. There are many others.

 

My son has Lyme disease and for most of his teenage years he had many

flare ups -It caused mental depression, severe headaches and Joint

pains. He is now 30 years old and has had the disease since he was

11. During the growing years it was awful, but now as an adult he

has been pretty good. Only a flare up every couple years.

 

I have seen people with Ehrlichiosis too. They do fine for a few

years then have flare ups.

 

If they were to be tested now, my son or my sister in law the tests

for either disease would be negative. Because the initial infections

were treated with antibiotics, but the disease is still present in

their bodies.

 

So anything you can do to help your daughter to rest properly, reduce

the stress in her life, fight off other infections and build her

immunity will hopefully help her.

 

Using essential oils and herbs to help relieve any of the 'symptoms'

she is having should make her feel better.

 

I feel for her and you too. Here in Minnesota, as in many other

areas of New England, and more places too etc where Lyme disease is

an issue, many folks will have life long debilitations from

those " nasty bugs and the infections " they carry.
