Treating Lyme Disease Naturally -- Dr. Cindee Gardner |
 |
|||
|
Homeopathic Medicines: In every case of Lyme disease Homeopathic
texts suggest starting with a nosode (a remedy made from the
actual borrelia burgdorferi) in a 30c potency. One dose three times
daily is given for three days. If this remedy is given in the early
stages, you can actually stop the disease from developing. • Use low potencies several times a day. Herbs: Herbs are concentrated foods for the organs, and immune response. I use a combination blend of medicinally processed whole plant herbs using all three Echinaceas called Super Echinacea. Then I add Cordyseps Tincture and make a tea of it. This well-known herb combination from Tibet has been shown in clinical studies to improve stamina, decrease fatigue, increase energy and to enhance lung and antioxidant function. It is the only compound known to raise Superoxide Dismutase activity. If other symptoms are present we add the appropriate herbal combinations to address those as well. If there are arthritis symptoms add Arthritis Combo. If there is weakness, add Adrenal Aid. Nutrition/Diet Aids Essential fatty acids: Studies show that when EFAs are taken regularly, statistically significant improvements in fatigue, aches, weakness, vertigo, dizziness, memory, concentration and depression are likely. There are two broad classes, GLA and EPA, which are derived respectively from plant and fish oils. I suggest a good cold pressed combination formula to reduce inflammation. Use more than the indicated amount if disease has progressed into the rheumatoid stage. Take for a minimum of four months. improvement continues to occur over time. CO-Q 10 (ubiquinone): Deficiencies have been related to poor functioning
of the heart, limitations of stamina, and poor resistance to infections.
Tissue biopsy studies have resulted in the recommendation that a
patient with chronic Lyme should take between 200 and 300 mg daily
of standard brands, or 90 mg daily of the pharmaceutical quality
product as directed. Improvements do not begin for several weeks.
The body will manufacture its own CO-Q 10 when the original infection
is controlled but only if stimulated by aggressive exercise. Magnesium: Magnesium supplementation is very helpful for muscle pain and spasms, headaches, tremors, twitches, cramps, muscle soreness, heart skips and weakness. It may also help in energy level and cognition. We also recommend a liquid herbal form of calcium made from plant sources (Herbal Calcium or Calcium Elixir). They work synergistically and both are easily assimilated when taken together. Calcium from inorganic sources such as calcium carbonate is not recommended. Multi vitamin: I recommend using an herbal form of whole food vitamins,
liquid preferred, or non-heated, capsulized one. Herbal Vitamins
is one of the top brands available. Take between two and eight daily
according to the diet. |
