Lyme Recovery Clinic

If you’re already being triggered by the headline of this article, this article is for you. Who isn’t ready to heal? What a stupid question!

But if you’ve been bouncing from treatment protocols and haven’t been experiencing the improvements you’re looking for, it might be time to ask yourself a few probing questions. You may have overlooked some basic principles that can help you into more focused, intention-based healing.

If you are experiencing long-term plateaus in your physical treatments and you are looking to break that cycle, an energy healing modality might be the most effective way to help you reach improvement. There are several major factors that can bring about disease and have it become chronic, and energy treatments can address all of them. However, they are particularly good at relieving emotional, energetic and spiritual stress.

If you are a Lyme Disease patient in the middle of progressing through the illness, you’ve probably been through a variation of the following scenario.

Some time ago, you started experiencing a range of non-specific, hard-to-explain symptoms that caused you to seek help from your regular doctor. He or she put you through a battery of tests that didn’t reach any clear diagnosis, so you continued testing for years or even decades. At some point, almost by accident, you were diagnosed by a doctor who was more versed in Lyme Disease, and you heaved a sigh of relief. Now you knew what you’re dealing with, so now you could treat it and get it over with. The problem is, you’ve been on a range of treatments and your doctor only seems to be trained in antibiotics, pharmaceutical pain relievers and mood enhancers. Most of these things have only brought about short-term improvement or haven’t worked at all; and some of them have caused symptoms of their own. Your symptomology is either plateauing or getting worse, which is causing you to feel upset. Your doctor notices this and suggests you see a psychiatrist.

Now what do you do?

Whether you call it Stone Breaker, Phyllanthus niruri or Phyllanthus amarus, the herb best known as Chanca Piedra has been traditionally used throughout Latin America for centuries to naturally support the kidneys and urinary tract.

However, because it grows in tropical regions all over the world — from China to India to Peru — it has also been an herbal staple in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years.

What follows is a short list of nine of the more important benefits from this ancient herbal treatment:

When it comes to Lyme disease and exposure to the biting bugs that carry the disease… i.e. ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, horseflies, etc. … your dog may be your “canary in a coalmine.” In other words, because your furry friend is rambling through areas of higher exposure to these bugs than you, it may get exposed to Lyme disease before you do.

Consequently, you may notice your dog exhibiting the following symptoms, and if you do, you should contact your vet to have your pet tested for Lyme disease.

Glutathione is an antioxidant that is made by the liver. It is best known for its ability to remove hormones, medications, and toxic chemicals from the body and deal with oxidative stress. It does this by taking substances that are fat-soluble and “stuck” in our tissues and making them water-soluble, which is much easier for the body to eliminate.

For over 100 years, coffee enemas have proven to have great health benefits for patients of chronic illness. However, some patients are allergic to coffee or sensitive to caffeine and would like to enjoy the amazing detox and health benefits of these enemas.

Cistus tea has proven to be a great alternative to coffee for these patients.

Patients who have replaced coffee with Cistus tea in their enemas have reported vast symptom improvements, intestinal cleansing, parasite eradication and lessened inflammation as a result of doing them on a regular basis.

There seems to be a debate that rages every day on whether it is a good idea to take antibiotics when treating Lyme disease and co-infections. While there is strong evidence that 4-6 weeks of antibiotics taken within the first 60 days of infection has the potential to completely eradicate persistent infection, there is also evidence that taking them for any length of time after this period can have wildly different effects on patients and the infections themselves.

The purpose of this article is not to debate these facts. Instead, it is to inform any patient or doctor considering prescribing any of the following antibiotics that they can have potentially dangerous side effects on patients with the following pre-existing conditions. Both patient and doctor should be well informed of these facts before embarking on these treatments for any length of time.

Mimosa Pudica is a flowering, creeping perennial that is native to South and Central America. It’s nicknamed “Sensitive Plant,” “Touch-Me-Not” and “Bashful Plant” because of its unique reaction to being handled or disturbed. When touched, the plant’s leaves fold up and recoil almost immediately and then re-open a few minutes later.

The plant itself has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat skin disorders, jaundice, cough, and indigestion, and it has also been used as an antidepressant and antivenom agent. But more recently, it has been discovered that the plant’s seeds are a powerful anti-parasitic, antimicrobial and intestinal cleanser.

Turmeric is a ginger-like root that grows in southern Asia and up until recently was more well known as a food spice that you’ve probably experienced in your local Indian restaurant. It’s what gives curry powder its yellow color.

A few years ago, turmeric made its way into public awareness when a number of scientific studies showed its positive impact on a number of symptoms that have commonly bothered chronic Lyme patients. In fact, the list of potential benefits of turmeric practically line up with some of the more bothersome symptoms that pester Lymies.
