MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

EXTREMELY DETAILED SITE; MOST I'VE EVER SEEN!! BETTYG

Alternative Treatments for Lyme Disease and Co-Infections

There are many experimental treatments for Lyme Disease and co-infections. This information is not an endorsement of any particular treatment or product or a guarantee of effectiveness or safety. Use at your own risk. We list this information here as a resource for those looking for help in finding alternative lyme disease treatments.

If you have just recently been infected, you have the best chance of ridding yourself of lyme and co-infections by getting appropriate treatment from an LLMD (lyme literate Medical Doctor) who is a member of ILADS ILADS - International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society. The treatment typically given is high dose antibiotics. Co-infections are tested for and treated which gives one a fighting chance of beating lyme.

If you are a chronic lyme sufferer, in my opinion, you will get the best treatment for your illness through an LLMD (lyme literate Medical Doctor). Unfortunately, many who have been sick for a long time do not have the financial resources to afford treatment through an LLMD which is why this information is provided.

There are a number of factors that affect chronic lyme disease patients and their ability to heal. Biotoxins caused by die-off of bacteria (borrelia and possibly babesia), metal toxicity and co-infections all complicate healing. You will find information about all of these issues in some of the articles listed. here.
