Lyme “s” & Lemons Disease

By Adam
 What is Lyme Disease (conventional view)
• Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia Burgdorferi and is
transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks.
Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin
rash called erythema. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the
heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on
symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to
infected ticks. Laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed
with validated methods. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated
successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. Steps to prevent Lyme disease
include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, applying pesticides,
and reducing tick habitat. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease can
occasionally transmit other tick borne diseases as well.
 What is Lyme Disease (conventional view)
• Coinfections may be common – at least among those with chronic Lyme disease. A recently
published LDo survey over 3,000 patients with chronic Lyme disease found that over 50% had
coinfections, with 30% reporting two or more coinfections. The most common coinfections were
Babesia (32%), Bartonella (28%), Ehrlichia (15%), Mycoplasma (15%), Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever (6%), Anaplasma (5%), and Tularemia (1%). A similar study in Canada found similar rates of
coinfection in patients with chronic Lyme disease:
• A person with a co-infection generally experiences more severe illness, more symptoms, and a
longer recovery. The CDC recommends that physicians consider possible co-infection with babesia
or anaplasma when patients have more severe symptoms of Lyme disease. However, other co-
infections may be present as well.
• Since Lyme disease was first identified in 1981, researchers have found more than 15 tick-borne
pathogens that weren’t known before. New ones are still being discovered. In 2011, Borrelia
miyamotoi was identified as a cause of disease and recently recognized by the CDC in the United
States. Commercial tests are not available for all tick-borne diseases, including infection with B.
miyamotoi or Powassan virus.

 What is Lyme Disease (conventional view)
• Lyme disease was first reported in the United States in 1970 in the town of Old Lyme,
Connecticut. The same disease occurs in many parts of Europe and Asia. In the United States,
most Lyme disease infections occur in the following areas:
• Northeastern states, from Virginia to Maine
• North-central states, mostly in Wisconsin and Minnesota
• West Coast, mainly in the northwest
• There are 3 stages of Lyme disease.
• Stage 1 is called early localized Lyme disease. The bacteria have not yet spread throughout the
body.
• Stage 2 is called early disseminated Lyme disease. The bacteria have begun to spread throughout
the body.
• Stage 3 is called late disseminated Lyme disease. The bacteria have spread throughout the body.
 Symptoms and Observations
(conventional view)
• Symptoms of early localized Lyme disease (stage 1) begin days or weeks after infection. They are
similar to the flu and may include:
• Fever and chills
• General ill feeling
• Headache
• Joint pain
• Muscle pain
• Stiff neck
 Symptoms and Observations
(conventional view)
Symptoms of early disseminated Lyme disease (stage 2) may occur weeks to months after the tick bite,
and may include:
• Numbness or pain in the nerve area
• Paralysis or weakness in the muscles of the face
• Heart problems, such as skipped heartbeats (palpitations), chest pain, or shortness of breath
Symptoms of late disseminated Lyme disease (stage 3) can occur months or years after the infection. The
most common symptoms are muscle and joint pain. Other symptoms may include:
• Abnormal muscle movement
• Joint swelling
• Muscle weakness
• Numbness and tingling
• Speech problems
• Thinking (cognitive) problems
 Symptoms and Observations
(conventional view)
• Complications of Late-Stage Lyme Disease
• People at highest risk for persistent symptoms are those who go the longest without treatment. Fortunately, public
vigilance has significantly reduced the rates of late-stage Lyme disease. Antibiotics given at late stages will relieve
symptoms in most people, although about 5% may continue to have problems.
• Left untreated, Lyme disease can spread (disseminate). The infection may affect almost any part of the body and cause the
following complications.
• Severe arthritis
• Persistent fatigue
• Mood disturbances and loss of concentration
• Neuropathy (numbness, tingling, or other odd sensations in the hands, arms, feet or legs)
• Life-threatening disorders affecting the heart, lungs, or nervous system can occur, but are very rare.
• About 60% of untreated patients develop arthritis, which usually affects a knee or another large joint. About 10 - 20% of
patients develop neurological or heart problems.
 Symptoms and Observations
(conventional view)
• Persistent neurological symptoms include headache, attention and memory problems, and depression.
Patients may also experience pain or tingling in legs or arms (peripheral neuropathy), numbness, or facial
paralysis (Bell’s palsy). Neurologic symptoms generally resolve or improve within a year.
• The main heart complications are electrical conduction problems caused by the infection. This can result in
an abnormally slow heart rate.
• Pregnancy. In rare cases, Lyme disease acquired during pregnancy can lead to infection of the placenta and
possible miscarriage or stillbirth. Studies indicate that pregnant women infected with Lyme disease can
safely be treated with antibiotics without damage to the fetus.
 Symptoms and Observations
(conventional view)
• Post-Lyme Disease Syndrome
• Lyme disease is a curable condition. Nearly all patients (95%) improve after a short course of antibiotics. In
very rare cases, patients continue to complain of persistent non-specific symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle
aches, cognitive problems, and headache lasting years after completing antibiotic treatment for the initial
infection. This syndrome is referred to as post-Lyme disease syndrome, which can resemble fibromyalgia or
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
• In the past, post-Lyme disease syndrome has been called “chronic Lyme disease.” However, based on many
reviews of scientific literature, researchers and doctors strongly believe that Lyme disease does not have a
chronic state. According to guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Association of America, post-Lyme
disease syndrome is the preferred name for this condition.
• Patients are considered to have this syndrome if they still have symptoms 6 months after treatment. There
must also be definitive evidence that the patient was originally infected by the B. burgdorferi spirochete. If
there is no documented evidence of infection, it is likely that the patient never had Lyme disease and is
experiencing a new or different type of illness. If the patient did have Lyme disease, symptoms should
eventually resolve without additional antibiotic treatments. Antibiotics are not helpful for post-Lyme disease
syndrome.
• In some rare cases, patients may experience a new onset of symptoms after antibiotic treatment, such as the
bull’s-eye rash. Research suggests that repeat symptoms are most likely caused by new infections, not
relapses from a previous infection.
Alternative Understanding/Observations
 Alternative Understanding/Observations
• Plum Island sits in Long Island Sound, one end pointing toward the Connecticut coast and
the other toward Long Island's North Fork. By ferry, it is over an hour from either shore.
An old lighthouse seems to invite tourists but no outsiders are allowed on the secured
facility. Lyme CT. is only 10 miles due south of Plum island.
• The nefarious history of Plum Island began after World War II when Erich Traub, a
German biological warfare expert joined the team. Our government learned of the
German penchant for bio-weapons technology through defectors. Significantly, Traub
had operated a germ warfare lab on an island in the Baltic Sea.
• Either the U.S. Army knew nothing about migratory patterns or, as is more logical, Army
researchers knew exactly what they were doing. Plum Island is on the Atlantic flyway
that runs from the Florida coast up the eastern seaboard to Greenland. A million birds
rest on the island before flying on to the Connecticut River estuaries in Lyme, CT. It is
possible but doubtful that the Army also overlooked the fact that deer regularly swim
between the island and the mainland. In fact, Plum Island researchers believe the deer
and birds were recognized as vehicles for distributive testing.
 Alternative Understanding/Observations
• HISTORY OF LYME DISEASE
• The mysterious disease first appeared in 1970 in the small town of Lyme, CT from which it gets its name. In
1975 Dr. Allen Steere became the first to diagnose, treat, and characterize Lyme disease after a mysterious
outbreak of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in and around Lyme, Connecticut.
• In 1977, the Connecticut department of health reported that “Lyme arthritis” was transmitted by the Ixodes
scapularis (black-legged) tick. In 1982 the etiologic agent of Lyme disease was conclusively identified as
spirochetes belonging to the genus Borrelia burgdorferi residing in ticks. The Arthritis Foundation released
warning brochures. By 1987 Lyme disease was designated a reportable disease. Federal funding for Lyme
disease surveillance and research was established in 1991 and the first Lyme disease vaccine was released in
1997.
• In 1998, Lyme disease became laboratory reportable when a study to determine the efficacy of the vaccine
was initiated. Four years later, the CT Department of HHS shows the manufacturer withdrew the vaccine
from the market and the Lyme vaccine efficacy study ended. The CDC states the vaccine “was discontinued
by the manufacturer in 2002, citing low demand. People who were previously vaccinated with the LD
vaccine are no longer protected.”
• Canine Lyme vaccine is however in demand, pushed by the pharmaceutical industry. As the disease is rare in
the canine but does infect humans (if properly diagnosed), this is puzzling. Either Lyme vaccines work or
they do not. The stated reason for withdrawing the human Lyme vaccine should be weighed against this
medical fact; Lyme disease is the most prevalent human tick-borne illness in the United States.

• TEASEL ROOT
Diaphoretic / Diuretic / Antiphlogistic
Plant Description / History: Wild Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) is a non-native biennial and considered an
invasive weed. The plant was formerly and widely used in textile weaving in the U.S., providing a
natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics such as wool.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients: iridoids, saponins, derivates of coffeic acid, potash salt, inulin,
bitters, and the glycoside scabiodise. [Wolf D Storl]
Indications: Tease Root is most known for its use in treating Lyme Disease. It is also used as a stomach
aid, an analgesic for pain relief, an anti-inflamatory, and a stimulant for the nervous system. It is
effective for chronic inflammation of the muscles, one of the major symptoms caused by the bacteria
infection of Lyme Disease. Teasel Root is widely used in conjunction with antibiotics as well as other
phytoceuticals to treat Lyme Disease for its ability to pull the bacteria from muscle tissue (where
antibiotics and the immune system cannot reach) into the blood stream so that the immune system
can do its work.

• Adult Dosage:
For Lyme Disease - Dosage recommendations vary. Consult educated health
care providers along with educational resources."Healing Lyme Disease
Naturally" by Wolf D Storl with foreword by Matthew Wood is an excellent
reference book. Here is a summary of dosage information from the book.
According to long time herbalist and author, Matthew Wood, M.S., his
homeopathy-oriented view proposes that the tincture is given as
"information" for the organism, and for this reason his dosage suggestion is
quite low: 3 drops, 3 times a day. [ref: p 177] Borrelia spirochete activity
peaks every month or twenty-eight days and that the duration of dosage
should thus be at least one month, then gradually decreasing the dosage
over the next weeks. [ref: p. 179]

• Teasel may be taken in water, or under the tongue. In the event that the
Lyme Disease is affecting your heart, be sure to have competent medical
care to monitor these conditions.
To understand how Teasel works in the treatment of Lyme Disease, you can
read about it at the Lyme Disease Research Database website.
Warnings: Teasel causes wakefulness when taken in large doses and may
cause nervousness. Because Teasel invites the Lyme bacteria into the
bloodstream, where the body can then detox and the immune system can
go to work, you may experience undesirable effects during treatment
known as a Herx reaction.

• 1. Eat to Improve Immune Function
• The best way to overcome chronic Lyme disease is by naturally boosting
your immune system, lowering inflammation and managing the root causes
of your symptoms. Your body can overcome Lyme disease for
good only once you control the inflammatory responses it's triggering.
• My basic dietary advice for anyone struggling with an inflammatory
condition is to try removing grains, fruit and sugar from your diet while
consuming anti-inflammatory foods — mostly vegetables, nuts, seeds,
coconut, bone broth, organic meat and raw cultured dairy. If you want to
learn more about this approach to controlling leaky gut syndrome and
inflammation, you can find out much more detail in this article
abouthealing leaky gut and autoimmune diseases.
 Lyme Supportive
• Some of the best foods for naturally raising immunity include:
•· High-antioxidant foods: fresh fruits and vegetables, especially leafy
greens and other brightly colored veggies or berries, are the best sources
of antioxidants and many other key nutrients. They help control free radical
damage and inflammation, lower risk for nutrient deficiencies, and can
protect you from Lyme complications.
•· Bone broth: bone broth naturally contains the amino acids called
proline and glycine, which can help repair a "leaky gut" and enhance
immune function. Your gut/digestive health is highly tied to overall
immune functioning; in fact, around 70 percent or more of your immune
system lives in your gut! Foods that help replenish your gut with healthy
bacteria and also rebuild the lining of the your GI tract control
inflammation and allergies along with the many symptoms they can trigger.
 Lyme Supportive
• Probiotic-rich foods: Research published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology
shows that probiotics can help reduce infectious disease progression and
symptoms. (8) Probiotic foods include kefir, amasai and yogurt (ideally raw goat's
milk yogurt, which is one of the highest sources of probiotics). Fermented
vegetables like sauerkraut, kimchi and kvass can be beneficial and should be
added to your diet regularly. To truly kill off the bad bacteria we must overcrowd
it with "good bacteria" (also known as probiotics). Probiotics help good bacteria
to grow and flourish in the GI tract, which has a huge impact on your overall
immunity and health.
• 2. Supplements to Help Improve Cellular Function
• The next step in Lyme disease treatment is improving cellular functioning and
protection.Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, along with viruses and parasites, can
attack healthy cells and weaken your defenses. In order to restore cellular health,
consider adding these essential nutrients to your regime:
 Lyme Supportive
• Vitamin D: Vitamin D3 naturally boosts immunity and plays a role in
regulating inflammation. I recommend you supplement with around
5,000 IU daily, especially if you're vitamin D deficient, live in the
northern region of the world and don't get much direct sunlight
exposure (the best way for your body to make its own vitamin D).
•· CoQ10: CoQ10 can help protect your brain and nervous system
from degradation and inflammation, while also lowering symptoms
like joint pain and aches. It's commonly used by patients with ongoing
fatigue and autoimmune disorder symptoms, including those with
fibromyalgia. (9) Most physicians recommend taking 200 milligrams
twice daily.
 Lyme Supportive
• B-Complex: B vitamins support many metabolic and cellular functions, plus
they help fight infections and improve neurological health. Vitamin B-6 is
especially important for Lyme patients, or just about anyone dealing with
the affects of stress or fatigue.
•· Omega-3 fatty acids: These fatty acids are highly anti-inflammatory
and support neurological/cognitive functions. In addition to
consuming food sources of omega-3s(for example, wild-caught fish and
nuts and seeds), I recommend supplementing with 1,000 milligrams of fish
oil daily, specifically one that contains astaxanthin which boosts
absorption.
•· Magnesium: Magnesium is an electrolyte with hundreds of roles in
the body, from supporting nerve signaling to reducing muscle aches. Many
people are magnesium deficient, and those with Lyme disease can't afford
to run low since stress and illness only increases the body's need for more.
 Lyme Supportive
• Turmeric: Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help reduce
joint pain, headaches, and damage to blood vessels or nerves.
•· Probiotics: In addition to consuming probiotic-rich foods, I
recommend supplementing with probiotics with at least 8 strains and 50
billion units daily. I believe this is the most important factor in destroying
Lyme.
• Medicinal mushrooms: Studies show that medicinal mushrooms (this
includes cordycep, reishi and maitake mushrooms) promote an adaptive
immune system which helps control autoimmune reactions. (10) These can
be found in various supplement forms and have been proven to reduce
reactions to inflammation and stress. Medicinal mushrooms boost an
intracellular antioxidant called superoxide dismutase (SOD) that protects
your cells. They can also increase function of natural killer cells that can kill
off bad bacteria.
 Lyme Supportive
• Get Enough Rest & Manage Emotional Stress
• Chronic stress, whether physical or emotional, has been proven time and time
again to weaken the immune system and increase someone's risk for getting sick.
Stress can trigger inflammation and cause hormonal imbalances, while also
disturbing digestive functions and worsening many Lyme disease symptoms. To
prevent a Lyme infection from continuing to worsen and spread, you must
address stress if you are truly going to heal.
•· In order to combat chronic stress, I recommend you schedule times of rest
into your week, along with "fun times" meant to spend with family, friends and
also alone. This might seem silly or even too simple to work, but stress is a very
serious issue that makes many people sicker than they need to be!
•· Focus on getting plenty of rest. Lyme can contribute to fatigue and require
that you get extra sleep, so balance activity with rest and relaxation.
 Lyme Supportive
• I suggest you also practice forgiveness, address past emotional trauma, and
work on healing through spirituality and guidance. Many people with Lyme
and autoimmune conditions have deep-seeded emotional issues that
interfere with healing. A good friend of mine, Dr. Alex Loyd, has a book
called The Healing Code you may consider reading.
•· Supplementing with adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha can
naturally reduce the effects of stress and help balance cortisol levels.
•· Other methods for helping to control your stress response include
meditation, joining a support group, reading, journaling, exercising, using
essential oils and spending time in nature.
 Lyme Supportive
• Reduce Mold & Parasite Exposure
• According to Lyme disease experts and research done by the Department of
Microbiology-Immunology at Northwestern University, environmental triggers (in
particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major
role in the development of autoimmune diseases. Parasites and mold exposure can
contribute to lasting Lyme disease symptoms by stressing the immune system. (11)
• · To naturally treat parasitic infections and toxicity I recommend using activated
carbon (activated charcoal), which has been proven effective in helping the body expel
harmful substances.
• · Bentonite clay can also be beneficial and works in a similar way to bind to things
like chemicals and heavy metals. However, make sure to take these two supplements on
an empty stomach because they can also bind to essential minerals you need.
• · To specifically treat parasites, I'd suggest consuming a diet low in sugar and high in
healthy fats, along with taking and consuming probiotics.
