Excerpt:

Lyme disease is a multisystem infectious disease with a wide
variety of symptoms involving the skin as well as the nervous
system. Lyme disease is caused by spirochaete Borrelia
burgdorferi transmitted by Ixodes ticks in endemic regions.
A case of 45 year old woman suffering from borreliosis, psoriasis
and depression is presented in the paper. In the study a
standardized screening list was applied to evaluate the
psychiatric health state–Classification of Psychic Disorders
(DSM-IV) and Hamilton Scale. Patient was diagnosed with a major
depressive episode (MDE) according to DSM-IV Diagnosis Criteria.
Patient obtained a score 21 on the 24-item in Hamilton Rating
Scale of Depression.

Lyme Disease, caused by the spirochete Borrellia burgdorferi, is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Clinically, it primarily affects the skin, joints, nervous system, and heart. Lyme carditis occurs in 4%-10% of adults with Lyme disease. Transient variable-level atrioventricular blocks, occurring in 77% of adults with Lyme carditis, are the most common cardiac manifestation. Up to 50% of Lyme carditis patients may develop complete heart block. The incidence of Lyme carditis in the pediatric population is not well established. We present a pediatric patient with a transient asymptomatic complete heart block resulting from Lyme carditis, an under-recognized complication of Lyme disease in the pediatric population. ^Continued

Linda’s comment:  This would not make for a great Christmas….This is a serious situation and I have to admit, I hadn’t thought about it until reading this article….Be very careful  and don’t let these blood-sucking ticks ruin your Holidays.

Families who bring Christmas trees into their homes should watch out for ticks this holiday season because the tiny blood-sucking, disease-ridden creatures often survive winter temperatures, German daily Bild reported. Continued

Only two spirochetal infections are known to cause nervous system infection and
damage: neurosyphilis and neuroborreliosis (nervous system Lyme disease).
Diagnosis of both generally relies on indirect tools, primarily assessment of
the host immune response to the organism. Reliance on these indirect measures
poses some challenges, particularly as they are imperfect measures of treatment
response. Despite this, both infections are known to be readily curable with
straightforward antimicrobial regimens. The challenge is that, untreated, both
infections can cause progressive nervous system damage. Although this can be
microbiologically cured, the threat of permanent resultant neurologic damage,
often severe in neurosyphilis and usually less so in neuroborreliosis, leads to
considerable concern and emphasizes the need for prevention or early and
accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Linda’s comment:  The FIGHT program is a perfect example of how you can fight Lyme disease.  As Dr Patricia Gerbarg, MD has found out.  She has not experienced the FIGHT program to my knowledge, but the protocols she mentioned are all part of the FIGHT program.  It is a must that we reduce the total body burden of toxins and pathogens to fight the Lyme critters.  Lyme loves heavy metals.  We are slammed every time we walk out our front doors with 500 to 600 environmental toxins.  It is a daily battle, but I found the FIGHT program made this all very easy.  I only wish I had  the knowledge of the FIGHT program with the first Lyme infection.

I have never taken any antibiotics and don’t intend to, but I focused on the lifelong daily detox program FIGHT and cleaned up my lifestyle, home and diet.  I got rid of all the GMO foods, gluten, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and my body shakes if I pass a fast-food restaurant….the smell turns my stomach.  Once you clean  up your diet and clean up your homestead, you begin to feel better….Lifestyle is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done….Yes, I cheat, but at least now I have learned to cheat. and can neutralize a toxic food if I eat it.  Once you begin to feel better it makes the journey of cleaning up much easier. Just give the FIGHT program 90 days and you too will feel the difference.
