Lyme Disease; the real epidemic.

I don't know about you but I've heard enough about avian and swine flu to be almost numb. But, there is a true epidemic in this country; Lyme Disease. Over 200,000 people are infected with Lyme every year! That is a huge number of sufferers from this debilitating disease.

Most people know that Lyme is caused by a tick bite. That is partly true. Lyme is a result of an infection by a spirochete or Borellia Burgdorferi or Bb for short. But, most people infected with Lyme do not recall being bitten by a tick according to the Centers for Disease Control. Unfortunately, that's as far as they go. The truth is the main vector (carrier) for Lyme is milk. (This is why, for example, that the Wisconsin area is often referred to as The MS Belt.)

When I tell my clients this, they usually respond with "I only drink organic milk." It doesn't matter whether it's organic or not. The risk is still there. It also doesn't matter anymore where you live because Lyme has spread from its original site in Old Lyme, Connecticutt to as far away as the West Coast.

We can thank our friends at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Air Force for inventing this. You can read more in the Book Lab 257.

Most of us believe that Bb is a major player in many major undiagnosed disorders and those neurological problems like MS, one of the most misdiagnosed conditions today.

Some people with Lyme disease will have flu-like symptoms with or without a rash. These symptoms may include:

  • Lack of energy, which is the most common symptom.
  • Headache and stiff neck.
  • Fever and chills.
  • Muscle and joint pain.
  • Swollen lymph nodes
Late stage Lyme symptoms will include
  • Partial facial nerve paralysis which usually occurs within the first few months after the tick bite or infection.
  • Neurologic changes, including problems with memory, mood, or sleep, and sometimes problems speaking.

While most Medical doctors will treat Lyme with antibiotics, antibiotics are only effective in early stages of the disease. Chronic sufferers will experience little relief if it is diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. (Remember that you probably will not have the customary rash associated with a tick bite. It might be as simple as your "moostache" from milk.)

In our area, we are fortunate to have several practitioners who specialize in Lyme. One in particular, is our dear friend Dr. Nicola McFadzean. You can access her site here. She is not only a highly trained and experience practitioner, but Dr. Nicola is also a passionate advocate for sufferers of Lyme and other disorders.

Lyme or Bb is also treatable with any number of alternative methods and I would suggest you contact Dr. Nicola for more information.

If you believe your symptoms are consistent with Lyme, please contact either myself or Dr. Nicola.
