... many thanks, Mrs D!

Lyme is best thought-of as an "Infectious Neuropathy" which can effect any organ or system in the body. It is often accompanied by various "co-infections", of which the most common is "Bartonella" or "Babesia". It is believed to have originated in the New York area, and has since exploded to encompass all of the United States and most of the world in just 40 years!

Here are two of the better Lyme websites, including one created by a very well-informed patient:

2) http://www.benbrew.com/lb/lb.html



My treatment consists of both oral anti-microbial combinations such as "Tindamax" and Ceftin taken together (with Tindamax rotated three-weeks on, three weeks off due to its neurotoxity), along with a wide variety of supportative supplements just as "Japanese Knotwood", R-Lipoic Acid, and Methyl B-12.

My guess is that roughly one-third to one-half of all occupants residing in North America are now infected, of which perhaps 90 - 95% do not know it. Rather, they are told by their well-meaning but uninformed doctors that they have:


1) Fibromyalgia

2) Pre-Diabetes

3) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

4) Restless Leg Syndrome


and other junk diagnosis. Unfortunately, "Lyme-Literate Physicians" are too far and few between, and very few take insurance given the extensive and time-consuming face to face workups that are required.

For many years, the CDC has falsely conveyed the message that Lyme is essentially hard to catch and easy to cure. In reality, as the hundreds of Lyme specialists trying to treat this silent plague will tell you, it is just the opposite.

Lyme is extremely easy to catch and very hard to cure!

For a long time, the CDC likewise reluctantly reported that there were 30,000 new cases per year. They just quietly updated that figure to 300,000 new cases in the United States each year, most of which become chronic as the infected remain undignosed and the spirochetes spread bodywide (including easily across the blood-brain barrier).

As with most plagues, this is a disease that infects countless millions without regard to race, income, or location! Incidently, I was infected in 2004 after being bitten by a tick along the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta!

Finally, the most common form of neuropathy that Lyme seems to cause is "Small-Fiber", which accounts for the vast majority of the tingling, numbness, and burning symptoms that Lyme patients report!

Warm regards,
