Useful Guide about Lyme Disease Treatment
Guidelines published in October, 2006 by the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) list many of the current treatments for Lyme disease as “not recommended,” declaring that Lyme can be cured with a 14 - 28 day course of antibiotics.
People diagnosed with Lyme believe the disease is neither rare nor easy to cure. Patricia Smith is president of the Lyme Disease Association (LDA), and vice president of political action for the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society. “Lyme disease is an epidemic in this country,” says cardiologist and medical researcher Lee Cowden, MD. Lyme’s ability to mimic hundreds of other diseases adds to the confusion. Lyme patients are a varied group, one Lyme-literate physician reminded attendees at the 2006 Lyme conference in Philadelphia. Sugar feeds Lyme bacteria and caffeine causes inflammation.
Lee Cowden not only suspects Lyme bacteria as a root cause for autoimmune diseases, he also lists neuro-degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cardiac-arrhythmias, gastrointestinal diseases, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s, ADDHD, and autism. How is Lyme disease contracted and spread? Buhner, a master herbalist, conducted intensive research of Lyme borreliosis in preparation for his 2005 book, Healing Lyme.
While battle lines are drawn in the medical community about diagnosis, treatment and prevention actions, Lyme patients continue to increase more sophisticated in their understanding of the bad side effects of Lyme disease, and they go on to try to help you heal from Lyme, through conventional therapy, alternatives medicines and a combination cure of both.
