Effective Treatment of Chronic Lyme Disease

This book is a self help guide for patients suffering from (chronic) Lyme-disease and/or other intra-cellular infections. The book also serves as an information resource for therapists and doctors interested in better treatment options for (chronic) Lyme disease. The book has come forward from the author’s own struggle in getting rid of chronic Borrelia and Babesia infections. This was not a trivial exercise. During this quest the use of bio-energetic testing and treatment methods was essential in being successful. The bio-energetic methods that have been applied are bio-resonance and bio-photon based methods. The presented bio-energetic treatment methods can be applied alone or in combination with traditional anti-biotics therapy.

2009 Conquering Lyme Disease – The Empowered Patient’s Complete Reference to Lyme Disease – Diagnosis, Treatment Options, Prognosis (Two CD-ROM Set)

This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that features a skin rash, swollen joints and flu-like symptoms. You get the disease from the bite of an infected tick. Sometimes it is hard to know if you have Lyme disease because you may not have noticed a tick bite. Also, many of its symptoms are like those of other diseases. Symptoms may include a skin rash, often resembling a bulls-eye; fever; headache; muscle pain; stiff neck, or swelling of knees and other large joints. In the early stages, doctors look at your symptoms and medical history to figure out whether you have Lyme disease. F

Has anyone heard of an association between chronic lyme disease and geographic tongue?

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Question by BBfabfan: Has anyone heard of an association between chronic lyme disease and geographic tongue?
I have been diagnosed with chronic lyme disease, which I have had since childhood. I have also been experiencing geographic tongue since about the same time. Has anyone experienced this correlation, or know of a link between the two? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by sel
Yes – there absolutely is an association between those two conditions, but I fear that you may not want to hear what it is.
There is no way for me to tell you without sounding like a smart-ass (part of the reason is because I actually am one; part of the reason is because you actually stepped in it…)
All kidding aside: The association is that neither one of those are pathological conditions.

Geographic tongue is nothing more than a normal variant; if you’re having pain, problems with taste sensation, etc. then you have something other than, or something in addition to geographic tongue and should be evaluated by a medical professional – preferably someone different from whoever diagnosed you with chronic Lyme disease.

Yes. I know that there are doctors who diagnose and treat this condition: That’s a discussion for a different day. I will tell you that the Infectious disease specialists in my city’s academic health center will not even see patients who present with that history.

Yes – chronic Lyme is all over the internet and folks attribute a laundry list of symptoms to it. I’m not going to get into that at all – suffice to say that there are many conditions as yet unrecognized by medicine, and many conditions where the correct diagnosis may be frequently missed by a doctor. None of that makes a case for the existence of some special, magic variant of Lyme disease that will not be cured by a course of the usual antibiotics.
I would challenge my doctor to show me anything from the medical or scientific literature that established the existence of this condition.

If – and I say if you ever had Lyme disease at all then you were undoubtedly treated with 2 weeks of Doxy (unless you are allergic). That medication is known to cure everybody else with the infection – I’m saying you’d be foolish to believe that it wouldn’t cure you too.

Now – are there potential sequelae (lingering bad effects) from Lyme disease?
That is a very reasonable question. If you had the migratory polyarthralgia that some folks get (aching joints that seem to come and go but reappear in another joint) then you have evidence of a robust immune reaction to the bug.
Autoimmune diseases are among the most poorly understood by medicine. Things like Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc. have seemingly endless potential symptoms. They do tend to affect women disproportionately and I don’t think the reason for that is well-understood at all.
So – could there be lingering effects from Lyme, or is it conceivable that a case of Lyme might trigger some other quiescent autoimmune condition to flair-up? Those are certainly reasonable questions to discuss with your provider. But not with someone who’s trying to give you extended courses of antibiotics or who has established a diagnosis which most of the medical community believes is non-existent.
Anyway – that’s one opinion. Take it or leave it as you care to do.

What are the symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease, and how long can someone go without signs before they reappear?

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Question by Alice S: What are the symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease, and how long can someone go without signs before they reappear?
I had lyme disease, a very bad case of lyme disease almost 15 years ago while I was in high school. I had been misdiagnosed for several months, until I was finally treated with IV antibiotics, two different courses over a year in duration total.

I had not had any symtoms I would have attributed to lyme in years, but recently, my joints are really sore and swollen. I am only in my early thirties, and I dont think that this is a normal symptom of aging at this point.

Can lymes lay dormant in the body that long with no symtoms and then return?

Best answer:

Answer by circusdejojo
You might want to look up mongolians syndrome. people who test positive for it also test positive for lyme disease. Most say its orgin is unknown, i think its due to the cot worm which was genetically engineered to make silk/cotton better for the clothing industry.

Second case senerio is its completely unrelated and you could have lupus.

chronic lyme disease?

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

I just heard that my friend I have not seen in a few months the disease contracted foot and was paralyzed from the waist down! I was able to find minimal information on his case for the web, but not enough to say whether his case is like most, and was treated with a couple of weeks of antibiotics, or the time, she got chronic Lyme disease . I want to know exactly how serious chronic Lyme disease?

July 28, 2009 ~ Controversy Over Chronic Lyme Disease

Sunday, March 28th, 2010


COLE COUNTY – Experts from the Infectious Diseases Society of America are debating whether to recognize chronic lyme disease as an official diagnosis. Advocates say this would be an important move because the current treatments don’t completely cure the disease, lead to other illnesses and leaves patients not covered by insurance. Mid-Missouri is home to six of the seven more infectious tick-borne illnesses in existence. Charles Brown, an MU lyme disease researcher, says tick-related illnesses often go undiagnosed. He specializes in the way lyme disease causes arthritis. Brown says in mice, 10 percent of mice end up developing the lyme-related illness. Some patients say there’s a laundry list of other subsequent illnesses caused by lyme disease. Mid-Missouri Tick Illness Coalition director Laurice Stevens says she and her son both have the disease and it has manifested itself in a variety of ways. Stevens says many illnesses like multiple-sclerosis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome can all be derivatives of lyme disease. She experiences fatigue and arthritis which she attributes to two previous bouts with lyme disease. Supporters of the chronic lyme disease argument say long-term effects are results of Borrealia burgdorferi, the spiral-shaped bacteria which causes lyme disease. Brown says antibiotics used on lyme disease patients don’t completely wipe out bacteria, but he does not know of any research indicating the disease masquerades as other illnesses
