The CDC doesn't tell the truth. That excerpt is another reason to start drugging people for autoimmune symptoms when they have lymes disease. The expert lyme doctors understand fully these symptoms are from active bacteria. An excerpt from the link as posted above: "Doctors believe that certain people that are infected with the borrelia bacteria are predisposed to develop an autoimmune response that contributes to their symptoms." With short treatment on late stage lymes of course they are going to have symptoms from the pathogens. They're too active. Not a predisposed autoimmune disease. But it's twisted through this group trying to illustrate a different type of disease cropped up from a lyme catalyst. I can't believe they even wrote that. *(Many scientist have proven most of these autoimmune responses are pathogen, viral etc. infections anyway. Some toxicity responses. Info buried as cures do not make money but incurable autoimmune diseases requiring lifetime meds to manage the symptoms of infection do.) Regardless of treatment opinions we have that differ on boards with pharma ABX's and herbals, those of us that understand lymes know that reference is completely dishonest. If late stage the short time intervals do nothing. Govt health sites. The Govt gets funded by the pharmaceutical industry. Congress members the whole nine yard. It's all public record. They make a fortune. One arena example: The contracts the Pharma co's have with the govt putting the troops on psychotropics. Big business. If they can keep people sick on meds for life controlling symptoms of which they mislead above as autoimmune disease when it's continuing lyme disease, many stand to profit. The individual declines with no lyme treatment. I personally find value in your herbal approach Precious, but I find that whole CDC article very damaging for people that have late stage chronic lyme disease. Twisting the truth. Respectfully, just my opinion as well.

Can't read a book, follow programs properly, stutter talking due to the "physical feeling and interference in head." Stuttering less with more coming down since pharma abx added.
It's slowly helping. I dry sauna every other day/colonics daily.Very strict diet.

Sporadic severe hits of acute pain in body/joints/bone pain & face/head/brain/bone & nerve pain 95% healed/gone from plant abx only. 5% that is left is rare and not severe only in right forearm bone and around left extra orbital eyebone.Body flutters less.Chronic acute head/eyeball pressure gone from plant abx in first year from plant abx only.Ammonia feel inside head mostly gone from plant abx only.Visual distortion gone from plant abx only.BUT,brain/head/eyeballs still BAD/chronic/acute which is why I started pharma abx in conjunction because this is still severe & won't come down enough>>>Infection/brain encephalitis (brain inflammation somewhat less now) feel inside head,wooshing,rage/brain overstimulation and over processing thoughts too fast,chronic. NON cortisol related, it's simply pathogen load causing overstimulation. Still cope daily with brain physicality and non functional. Hard head hit. Debilitating insomnia.
Added Bart/Lyme pharma abx = Apr 13 zithromax in conjunction with my 6 plant abx & May 2 added rifampin. (I dose very aggressively in tsp of my homemade tincture plus drink tea decoctions of my plants and herx daily on both plant and pharma abx. No normal baseline yet but coming.) |
