Lyme disease is now found in every continental American state as well as around the world. This debilitating disease was unknown until the late twentieth century, although researchers believe it has been around but unrecognized. It is a tick-borne illness that can change your life for the worse. Since existing medical tests and treatment have proved to be flawed, many people turn to alternative Lyme therapies for relief.
Large doses of antibiotics, which is the medical response, prove helpful when the condition is diagnosed immediately. However, those who have had the illness for months or even years don't respond as well to this conventional treatment. Antibiotics taken over an extended period also kill beneficial intestinal flora, so these essential organisms must be replenished by a long-term program of probiotic supplements.
Herbs have been used for centuries to help fight illness of every kind. If Lyme has 'left behind' mental fuzziness, fatigue, and joint pain, you may want to use one of the herbs proven to give relief. Actually, Lyme is caused by a spirocete rather than a regular bacteria, so antibiotics are not fully effective. The spirocete will go dormant if it detects a threat and emerge from tissues and organs when the body's defenses are weak. This makes it very hard to eradicate the disease.
Therefore, safe dosages of herbal extracts offer hope. One of the best known is a liquid (alcohol-based extract) called Samento. This is a special formula of cat's claw, in which some components have been rendered inactive so the extract will have the desired effects. There are also capsules of this herb prepared in the correct manner. Many people have found that this herb alone, without antibiotics, will halt the progression of Lyme.
Those in the eastern United States have a local cure in teasel, a plant that grows along the roads and in fallow fields. You can recognize this thistle by it's pineapple-shaped seed heads. Collect roots from plants growing far from traffic (which leaves heavy metal contamination) and soak them for six weeks in vodka. The resulting dark liquid is a herbal extract that many swear by for treating Lyme.
Be aware that advice on the internet can be bad as well as good. Check for several reputable sources that agree before accepting advice on the use of herbs. Herbs are merely vitamin and mineral rich plants, some of which have specific therapeutic effects while others are generally nutritive. Think of parsley, which you eat with confidence. It is nutritionally dense, and it is also an strong diuretic.
There are many immunity boosting products on the market, which help your body defend itself against this and other pathogens. One that has especially proved effective for this illness is monolaurin, a derivative of coconut oil. There are many sites online devoted to helping people recover from this debilitating disease which offer suggestions for rebuilding health.
Do not ignore this disease. It is strongly linked to Alzheimer's and dementia. Some research has pointed to Lyme as an underlying cause of all degenerative diseases, like MS, MD, and Parkinson's. Using herbs safely can provide valuable help in getting rid of this destructive pathogen. Take charge of your own health and that of your family with nature's arsenal of weapons against disease.
