Linda’s comments: Lyme Carditis in children is not getting the attention it should be getting. Makes me wonder how many of the athletes who drop dead in their sport isn’t suffering from Lyme Carditis and have been grossly mis-diagnosed??
For those with children with Lyme disease, please read this carefully. Listen to symptoms and don’t ignore what perhaps a conventional has mis-diagnosed. Reducing our children’s total body of burden and pathogens is something that parents have to take control of. It is more critical in teens, who most of the time will not listen….It will help you to lessen your fears (that we all know most teens have a terrible diet) by getting them on a detox protocol with healthy support of their bodies.
