!!! Lyme Disease is not your biggest problem, stop hyper focusing on killing the bugs. Bigger issues are mycotoxins, co-Infections, autoimmunity, the constant stress and trauma

!!! Looking for a ‘silver bullet ‘ for Lyme is a waste of time. Lyme is not one disease for starters - usually there are co-infections, retroviruses, autoimmunity…..bad genetics…

!!! Oral antibiotics for chronic Lyme are useless and they can cause way bigger issues than what you started with …

!!! Nervous system re-training can bring bigger results than any strategies to kill the bacteria and yet you resist…

!!! Practitioner and Dr ‘hopping’ is very common with Lyme Disease clients - it can leave you CONFUSED & PENNILESS. Find someone you trust and work with them, it’s a long journey with many ups and downs

This is a very relevant topic for those with , who have done multiple rounds of abx and now have severe Candida with symptoms overlapping with Lyme - like brain fog and joint pain. Check out the main reasons why you can’t shift it

Diet is one of the most important parts of recovering from Lyme Disease, but often overlooked. Two of the best diets are Autoimmune Paleo or at least Mediterranean style diet with strictly no cows dairy and gluten.

Here are simple facts why you cannot recover if you don’t pay attention to what you eat:

- 80% of your immune system is in your gut. Sec IGA , an immune status marker is often included in comprehensive stool tests and often very low or extremely high ( often due to dysbiosis or food intolerances). Despite herbal or antibiotic Lyme protocols which kill the Lyme bacteria you need a functioning immune system to recover

- nutritional deficiencies - often common in people with Lyme and despite good supplements out there you should always go with ‘food first’ approach as that’s what your body recognise

- dietary choices such as consuming gluten and grain can further worsen or even trigger autoimmune diseases which often go hand in hand with Lyme + co

Plus many, many others…

P.s. excuse my tired eyes in this picture, I have a 2 year old son and sleep is a luxury these days, shout out to all working mums out there x

I see many clients still being ( adverse reactions to antibiotics of the flouroquinolone family) because of Lyme treatment or re-occurrence of urinary tract infections ( usually due to ).

These types of antibiotics can kill your mitochondria and trigger and even lead to tendon rupture. You need to avoid at all costs as symptoms of being Floxed and Lyme are very similar!

An interesting new-ish study has found that inhibiting lactate hydrogenase enzyme can inhibit the growth of Borrelia, the Lyme Disease bacteria.

This enzyme produces lactic acid - think achy muscles after exercise.

Natural inhibitors are things such as Berberine and high doses Vitamin C, which are worth considering.

The only thing to consider with Berberine that it has antimicrobial activity and longer term can affect the good bacteria in gut. It needs to be rotated and perhaps not used at all if issues with low beneficial bacteria, so doing a stool test before considering it is worth it. Don’t forget keeping your gut healthy is one of the most important things in any Lyme treatment as this is where your immune system lives.

If doing high doses vitamin C via IV you’d need G6PD blood test ( in any dose over 10 mg). Vitamin C is generally safe provided you’ve done the test at least once in your life time and you don’t have issues with ( many people with Candida and Mycotoxins do).

Technically as Sodium Bicarbonate helps shift lactic acid that could also help.

Have you tried any of these?

I hope you found this helpful :)

I’ve done a longer post on this on my other account , but wanted to post here as well because Vitamin D levels are so important when you fight , but are often very low ( usually due to disrupted gut health and also - think re-activation)

If you’ve got and you are already spending £££ ( or $$$ on supplements and herbs and therapies but not filtering your water you are doing it all wrong.

I’ve just done a post on regarding why you should filter tap water and best types of filters.
