My name's Leonard, and this is my 1st post. I'm a holistic health coach and have

been studying Lyme and other infections for several years.

In response to your post, I would certainly try to get a more definitive

diagnosis and would be inclined to promptly start intensive integrative

treatments for Lyme.

FYI, the following are natural remedies (from my MRSA/staph file) that I’ve

read are helpful in healing both MRSA/staph and Lyme:

garlic/allicin (www.allimax.us/Cutler.pdf; www.allimax.us/report-5-2004.pdf;

www.allimax.us/April2005.pdf)

olive leaf (Vandergriff;

)

IV vit. C (Takemoto, BioImmune.com, 2010) and/or liposomal vit. C

oxygen therapies (www.whale.to/a/staphylococcus.html)

(note: Fresh Air ozonator reportedly kills MRSA)

colloidal silver

iodine

“Magnesium sulphate (epsom salt) paste applied to the affected area can

prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce boils by absorbing pus and drying up

the lesion†http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boils

Joan Vandergriff, ND (www.AlternativeHealthShoppe.com, 1991)'s core protocol for

staph includes olive leaf, protease (digestive enzymes) on empty stomach,

colostrum, vit. C, and probiotics.

Essential oils:
