Natural Remedies for Lyme Disease in Kingston Ulster County NY 12401

Some of my favorite childhood memories include running barefoot on grass and having my shoes off for most of the summer months. Whether my feet were touching beach sand or the grass in the mountains, I realize now that it was the direct contact with nature that made me so fond of Summer.

It was around this time that Lyme disease was recognized, but it wasn’t until 1982 that the spirochete, Borrelia Burgdorferi, that causes Lyme was identified. Running barefoot on grass seems like a distant memory for many of us who are aware of the dangers of Lyme disease.

In recent years, the understanding of Lyme disease has broadened, and the complexity of what it is, and how to fight it, has become less of a mystery. What has come to light over recent years is that Lyme disease isn’t simply a disease caused by one spirochete, but usually a host of pathogens and toxins that are causing the body to exhibit complex symptoms.

It was once accepted that the Borrelia Burgdorferi is the sole reason for a person’s Lyme disease diagnosis. Research has suggested the connection between other stealth pathogens like Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Parasites, Mycoplasma, Viruses like Epstein Barr, Heavy Metal, and environmental toxicity, and Fungus-like Candida. The more stealth pathogens that a person may have in their body, the more likely that these organisms quorum sense and produce biofilms. This is a way that these organisms band together to outwit the immune system and put a protective shield around themselves.

Originally, it was thought that the bullseye rash was of a higher incidence and indication for people that become acutely infected with the spirochete that causes Lyme, but the occurrence is only 30 to 40 percent of cases. Ticks were also thought to be the only transmission route, but it is believed that other insects like spiders, mosquitoes, fleas, and mites may also be a transmission source. It is also believed that spirochetes may be transmitted through bodily fluids like breast milk and sexual contact.

One of the reasons that Lyme disease is so challenging to resolve is because the co-infections and toxicity are generally not being addressed in patients’ care and because the spirochete changes form. It can change from cyst form, where they are in more of a dormant state, to a cell wall deficient form, and to a spiral form where they are most active. Antibiotics are not effective for all the forms of the spirochete.

Acute Lyme disease cases may resolve with traditional antibiotic therapy, but many chronic Lyme disease patients struggle with resolving their condition. Chronic Lyme disease patients require support through eradicating co-infections, toxicity, and their food sensitivities. Muscle testing allows for a road map to figure out what nutritional supplements are effective to help the immune system to fight the spirochetes, co-infections and toxic burden.

Many Lyme disease sufferers struggle to figure out what nutritional supplements to include in their health regimen. They may try something and feel a little better for short periods of time, but ultimately end up not feeling well again. Spirochetes and their confections can adapt to certain nutritional supplements, so by muscle testing; this can determine when things have changed and what herbs or vitamins to augment.
