Lyme disease is like having termites in the wood of your house. You can kill them but simply killing them does not fix the damage they caused. Sweeping up the wood dust left behind, which is analogous to the toxins left behind by the dead bacteria, also is good, but that too does not fix the damage they caused.
This is the frustration many people face. We are sold the idea, by mainstream medicine, that if we kill the bacteria, then the body and mind will just come back to health. In most garden variety infections this is largely true, however in LD with its coinfections, the body is often too damaged to repair itself without the help of a doctor with a lot of creativity and innovative ways of helping the body heal.
I thought it had relevance for some members of this group that have multiple health issues and struggle to get good healing..
especially this list of issues
http://davidjernigan.blogspot.com.au/20 ... ronic.htmlAs a result of chronic LD there are also always structural damages to the body. The most apparent signs and symptoms our doctors see and address are changes in joint mobility, along with muscles that are tight, toxic, and inflamed. Ligaments are often chronically sprained and lax causing instability in the joints.
Almost always our doctors also find structural problems in the cranial bones, which are jammed, and the TMJ is misaligned, causing uneven pressure on the brain, and the tongue to fall down the throat when a person sleeps, leading to excessive adrenaline being secreted to keep you breathing...
long story short - it takes time to clear toxins and help the body heal...
