17. From Facebook tip of the day:
Dr David Jernigan June 14, 2012
Health tip of the day: Often so much attention is given to "killing" the bacteria in cases of Lyme disease with little thought given by the doctor as to the restoration of what has been damaged in the body by the bugs. It is like killing the termites in the wood of your house. Just killing them does nothing to repair the damage they have caused in the wood, plus now you have a toxic chemical to deal with from the poison used to kill them.
Since Lyme disease affects virtually every system in the body, virtually every tissue and system in the body needs to have some sort of repair before full recovery can be expected.
It is a myth that you will be well when all of the various bacteria and coinfections are killed off. You will be well when all of the tissues and systems of your body have been restored. The best antibiotics combinations in the world will only kill 85% of the target bacteria at best...you had better make sure your body can fend off the rest by restoring the integrity of every aspect of the body, mind, and spirit.
