Advice from Web sites and chat rooms usually does not apply to you. No two people are ever to be treated the same. To seek advice on the Internet is a concern of most physicians and healers. Sometimes you can find mature balanced support from those who are healthy, but not new advanced and solid credible information for your medical care. Many leaders in tick-infection medicine report they are quoted incorrectly, and that the information is often wrong, sometimes dangerous and wastes time and money.

Tick and flea-borne infections cause isolation. They ruin relationships due to resulting fogginess, poor insight, depression, various addictions, rage, extreme hostility – even violence – and refusal to get treatment. Bartonella is likely the worst offender, but Lyme and Babesia and their die-offs can also increase these problems. Isolation leads to decreased treatment options. It can ultimately lead to divorce and the loss of family relationships and friendships. This, in turn, leads to decreased resources and support while ill. Isolated humans, as Mother Teresa often said, are the poorest beings on earth.

Results from this 3-yr trial indicate that the use of fipronil passively applied to reservoir animals by bait boxes is an environmentally acceptable means to control ticks, interrupt the natural disease transmission cycle, and reduce the risk of Lyme disease for residents of treated properties.

For those of us who continue to suffer year after year, it is important to remember that we can’t get rid of Lyme if we are also infected with one of the many strains of Babesia, or one of the hundreds of “BLO” (Bartonella Like Organisms), or one of the other viruses, pathogens, fungus or bacterial infections that usually accompany and operate in a synergistic manner with Lyme.

The medical community will have had to change their belief about how the spirochete is passed from the tick to its host based on a recently released medical report from researchers who collaborated from the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, Connecticut:

In the world of Lyme disease, there so many symptoms that may – and usually do – overlap with one or more co-infections, trying to keep you’re symptoms straight can be dizzying all on its own. With this in mind, what do you think of when you read the following symptoms?

The following thought-provoking information has been generously given by Geraldine, a chronic Lyme sufferer. Geraldine owned a massage school “BL” (before Lyme) 15 years ago, and has researched many aspects of coping with Lyme and the parasites and co-infections that are so common with chronic Lyme sufferers. I have added some links and further references [...]
