Lyme Disease Complications

[Sharon77777]

Hi, I'm new to this group, but in looking for some information on certain herbal treatments was directed to this site. Reading the below post from 12-7-05, I felt compelled to respond as some of the things mentioned might be Lyme Disease related. (But I know little of Tourettes, just want to mention this as FYI):

 

Things which strike me as possible Lyme symptomology: muscular tics-jerking movements, sensitivity to light, fluish hot/cold sensations, periods of intense symptoms followed by apparent clearing up of symptoms (as Lyme gets into the system, it masks its presence), depressed immune system. Other big symptoms are often headaches and arthritic pain, stiff neck, but symptoms can range to muscular issues (even paralysis) to mental illness symptomology (even to the point of appearing schizophrenic) and cardiovascular symptoms (and occasionally even death from heart attacks). This disease is spreading fast, some calling it epidemic. There is so much confusion/dissension over its very existence and how to test for it, that many doctors will not even treat a patient for Lyme. Yet, antibiotics are the first response of what should be a multiphase approach using

 

synergisti antibiotics (effective agains the cell wall, non-cell wall and cystic forms of this bacteria),

immune modulators (directed anti-Lyme nutraceuticals),

anticoagulants,

hormonal therapies, and

prescription Lysosomotropics (medications that increase the effectiveness and penetration of antibiotics into the various forms of the Borrelia spirochete)

also reduction in sugar and high fats helps as Lyme, like most microbes, feeds on these

reduction in zinc and vit c intake too as these seem to help spread the bacteria

 

God Bless,

Sharon

"Just thought I would update. I was completely shocked this morning when my son woke up at 8 - he had not got to sleep until close to 11 last night - I was assuming he would sleep in - but the part that shocked me was that he was in such good spirits and pretty much tic free - better than he has been for a few weeks. He went off to school and came home for lunch and was still in a great mood and very minor tics - after school the tics were slightly increased but not as much as they have been for the last week or so. I have a few working theories - one that the lights last night triggered the increase in tics as well as the emotional lability - and that it cleared out of his system overnight - much faster than the pizza triggers over the last couple of weeks - where it seems to take a week to go away fully. The other thing is I wonder if this could have been some yeast die off - and the improvement is due to the yeast being dealt with more aggressively - the new probiotics were started a few days ago and I started with a half, then increased and we are up to 2 a day now with the plan to increase to 3. I have been researching the die off a little and one thing I have read is about being flushed, feeling warm, a little nauseated - all things he had last night going to bed - as well as the increase in symptoms. Is it possible for the die off to only last 5-6 hours - or is it usually a few days - or anywhere in between -

Any input would be appreciated as always - maybe I am just wishful thinking - but he is now in bed reading and not a sound is coming from his room - the last few weeks he has had vocal things going on with the triggers - the first a throat clearing and then more recently a nose sound - like a throat clearing but the sound is more from the nose. Not sure if that makes sense. Anyway - there has always been a sound coming from his room at night, as it was always worse at night - but what a beautiful sound that silence is making tonight!!!!

I do hope this yeast issue is a corner piece of the puzzle as Giselle has said - what a great analogy.

Fingers crossed."
