Infectious arthritis and immune dysregulation

Linda’s comments: Detoxing the body is important with any autoimmune disease. Diet is important, as those of us with chronic illness should NOT be eating GMO foods!! I’m on a lifelong daily detox protocol for over a 1 1/2 years now and it has made all the difference in my wellness journey. Go to www.gordonresearch.com and listen to all the F.I.G.H.T. webinar’s….learn how to reach your maximum goal of detoxing your body. When I became gluten free and began my lifelong daily detox, the arthritis pain left. However, when I ingest gluten and sugars the pain returns.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
Borrelia burgdorferi colonization of the joints induces an inflammatory response, which in some individuals progresses to chronic arthritis. In this review, we discuss novel pathways that are implicated in disease development by modulating host defenses to B. burgdorferi infection.SUMMARY: The cause and pathogenesis of Lyme arthritis are complex. Elucidating the mechanisms that govern this chronic inflammatory response will provide direct insights into other infectious arthritides and the development of novel therapeutic approaches against B. burgdorferi infection.
