Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Go to www.liafoundation.org and click on treatments. The most popular treatments in the natural arena stem from either Klinghardt or Cowden. You can Google their names " Cowden Lyme treatment " to find their ideas. Burrascano has some popular antibiotic treatment ideas, as well as Schaller. If you Google " Schaller Lyme treatment " you will learn his ideas, etc. Lyme is tricky. You can live with it and not be ill, but it seems to always affect you. Some may just get allergies or knee pain or headaches and kind of ignore it. Others actually become paralyzed, deaf, blind, mute and/or die. Sorry to be graphic. It seems that the toxic burden has a lot to do with how much one is ill. Having protozoan infections also increases the symptoms. Having other pathogens in general, increases the severity of the symptoms. Electrosmog seems to make it worse as well as mold. Then there are also many types of Lyme species. So, it's a real problem. But interestingly, some live with it their entire life, and only get irritable bowels, and then arthritis and heart disease in old age. Some actually never get arthritis, or rather don't get the pain, but tend not to bend their knees when they walk. I know it sounds weird for a pathogen to vary so much, but it mainly damages the immune system, so whatever other pathogens and toxins you are exposed to, are a main reason for your particular symptoms. Also it eats connective tissue, causing skin issues (numerous different kinds), arthritis, etc., and takes out digestion. Chronic fatigue is a common symptom or brain fog. Anything that detoxes, boost immunity or kills pathogens will help, but long-term aggressive treatments are often needed. Some still die even though they are antibiotics for many years trying to defeat it. They are usually the older crowd. I haven't seen reports that children or young people are dying, but some come close. Mostly, one is just ill, and the docs diagnose them with just about everything else but Lyme. Lyme disease is the most political disease I have seen. There is something fishy going on concerning Lyme treatments. Lots of doctors are being attacked just for treating Lyme. I still don't understand it. It makes no sense. Treating Lyme can save the word trillions of dollars. But, if you look into it, you will find all kinds of weird stories about Lyme. As political as autism is, Lyme is much more. Weird how we must struggle to get medical treatment to get well from autism and Lyme. You would think the world would want people to be healthy and not disabled. When one is healthy, they can pay taxes and need much less medical care. I just don't get it. I probably gave out much more than what you were asking. I get wordy sometimes. LOL. Love and prayers, Heidi N What are the types of stuff docs use to treat Lyme? Which antibiotics and which natural remedies. I'm not gonna run out and buy them, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Getting tested is another can of worms. ELISA test is not as reliable as the Western Blot yet many doctors insist on starting there. Even the Western Blot has a very high rate (between 40%-50%) of false negatives. If you have active disease it is more likely to show up on the test than if it is latent, and if you just got bit it won't show up until it is too late--at least a couple of months later. There are specialty labs like IGeneX with more sensitive tests but they are not covered by insurance and CDC will tell you their tests are not reliable. And this is all assuming the infection has come from a bite--SO much harder trying to diagnose a child who inherited Lyme through birth. In either case it can be very hard to get an accurate diagnosis through any available lab test and you really need to find a doctor who will take your symptoms seriously. IMO it is not the tick and the bacteria that are the killer, rather the delay in diagnosis/rampant misdiagnosis. > > Go to www.liafoundation.org and click on treatments.
