Lyme disease

The information in this page about Lyme disease, natural medicine, treatment and cure is NOT a sales pitch for any drug, supplement, herbal formula or even an alleged magic potion from an exotic faraway land.

Food is always best medicine

Lyme disease is an infection that is transmitted from a carrier-tick bite. Its symptoms and complications develop over months and years. It starts as a skin irritation located where the tick bite occurred. This irritation goes away in a few days. Other more serious symptoms begin to set in a few days or weeks later depending on the patients state of health prior to getting infected. Joint aches, headaches, fever and fatigue are some of the common symptoms experienced by most patients. Later, the illness ascends into the central nervous system and can cause more serious symptoms.

Chemical antibiotics are used to kill the germ that causes Lyme disease. The success rate is modest as the illness often returns after treatment is completed because the treatment did not eliminate the Lyme disease germ completely from the body. This means sometimes repeated expensive longer courses of treatment.

Lyme disease is an extreme YIN illness (skin rash, infection, spreads ... all are YIN expansive characteristics). You can read more about the relation between Lyme disease and YIN and YANG in the seven laws of the universe.

If you thought that Lyme disease is a mysterious debilitating  illness that can develop later into complications like joint pains and swelling and bowel disturbances, think again.

To cure Lyme disease naturally, the patient must follow a carefully designed diet plan that replenishes the body reserve of  minerals that are essential to the body's immunity. This would in turn rebuild the body's immune defenses and allows it to throw off Lyme disease on its own, without any side effects and prevent any relapse or return of Lyme disease and its complications in the future. Read about natural antibiotics.

Food is best medicine. The diet for treating and curing Lyme disease consists of supplying the body with the proper foods that rebuild its immunity and avoiding the foods that increase an infection like Lyme disease (i.e., sugar and fruit and even some YIN vegetables temporarily). The prescribed diet is not for life. It is only for a given period of time until the body's immunity level is built up and is able to eliminate the Lyme disease germ that causes Lyme disease.

In addition to the prescribed diet for curing Lyme disease, our recommended plan usually includes temporary home remedies such as compresses and soakings with instructions on how to make these home remedies, in order to provide immediate relief for Lyme disease sufferers during the first few days of going on the diet and until this diet begins to effectively curing Lyme disease.

Most people have come to believe that macrobiotics means eating exotic Japanese foods. This is a misconception. To cure Lyme disease you do not have to eat Japanese foods. You have to first understand the principles of natural balance explained in macrobiotics in order to understand what eating and living habits have led you to be susceptible to Lyme disease. And then macrobiotics will help you determine what foods you will have to eat in order to cure Lyme disease. Read If macrobiotics means eating locally grown foods, why are we eating Japanese foods?

It is true that food is best medicine even for Lyme disease. But some foods help cure Lyme disease and some will make the condition worse. The food pyramid is only a general guideline and does not provide any specific information on the natural treatment of Lyme disease.

Food is best medicine. With a carefully designed diet plan for Lyme disease there is no need for vitamin and mineral supplements. Some vitamin and mineral supplements can have severe adverse side effects on a Lyme disease patient when taken randomly or in large doses, and we strongly advise against any vitamin and mineral supplements for all Lyme disease patients until they are completely cured. And beware of alleged miracle cures in far away lands.
