Treating Lyme Disease Naturally & Effectively

In the past few years there has been an increase in interest and concern related to the increased numbers of ticks being found in Ontario and the subsequent rise in the number of people being diagnosed with and treated for Lyme disease.

The usual method of treatment for Lyme disease is a MINIMUM of 2 to 4 weeks of antibiotics. Of those who are treated, as many as 20% will experience residual effects of the illness, including symptoms of lingering joint pain and fatigue. Long term antibiotic treatment often leaves many people with a dizzying amount of side effects including chronic digestive issues and joint pain. The side effects of antibiotics themselves can be lifelong and life-changing and require further medication to manage these side effects.

Let’s take a step back here for a moment to fully grasp what I mean by that. It can often be quite difficult and a long-term experience to get a diagnosis of Lyme disease creating a complicated mess of symptoms. Once antibiotic treatment is started there are often so many symptoms that it can be difficult to determine which are the Lyme disease itself and which are side effects of antibiotic treatment. The beauty and power of homeopathy is that it does not require a diagnosis of Lyme disease (presence of antibodies against the bacteria B. burgdorferi) to effectively treat to restore health. This is because homeopathic treatment is based on your specific symptoms and by choosing a treatment that is based on those symptoms we actually treat the root cause of the disease. CONFUSING?! Yes. EFFECTIVE?! YES!! How incredible is it that you can get EFFECTIVE treatment that is individualized and effective, without the side effects of antibiotic therapy, (possibly without the need for a diagnosis)!? YES PLEASE!

There are 2 approaches to treating Lyme disease given how long you have had Lyme disease (or been exposed to the tick) and how ill you are.

A diagnosis of Lyme Disease does not mean a life-long sentence of fatigue, debility or pain. Your health can be restored!
