The way to treat Lyme is to realize that Lyme is just a name that is being used to describe many differing infections and infestations. We are only beginning to truly understand Lyme and how it manifests in not just everybody, but in each individual body.  Lyme can no longer be thought of as a tick-borne illness.  It is a ticking time bomb that morphs and adapts to the individual body that it infects. Your inherent or predisposed weaknesses are the determining factor in how Lyme will affect you.  

Lyme is a chronic infiltration of your body systems with branches that continually challenge your immune system to keep up.  This is the reason that antibiotics often do not reduce the severity or symptoms of Lyme.  Even if symptoms initially abate, they will return, often much more severely and for longer periods of time. This is not just because of the complexity of the infections, but often because antibiotics disrupt your gut flora, allowing secondary infections to develop more often and more rapidly.

· Food sensitivities or allergies: digestive strengthening and restoration.

· Environmental allergies: homeopathics for allergy resolution and liver strengthening.

· Balance your emotions and energies – establish coping mechanisms for mood stabilization. 

· Reduce EMF stress – protect and treat the body for exposure to radiation

· Herbal therapy with Astragalus, Andrographis, Cat’s Claw, Wormwood.

· Increase the release of toxic debris from the infection with lymphatic drainage and homeopathic remedies for lymphatic congestion.

Don’t wait for a diagnosis or rely on antibiotics.  Take the opportunity to make your body resistant to every infection, not just Lyme.
