Anything that supports your own body’s optimal functioning is ultimately good for your defense against the effects of Lyme and coinfections. Only one approach will likely fail since we are comprised of many different systems and levels. Consider that acupuncture may have enhanced your body’s energetic response to Lyme and may have induced a herxheimer reaction. Supporting your own body’s natural healing processes is critical and only helps in enhancing the anti-biotic effects of traditional medicine or the anti-biotic effects of herbal, homeopathic medicine. Be sure to focus on cleaning up the neurotoxins and the dead bacteria once destroyed since the effect that those substances can be as destructive as the organisms themselves.

In a word, Lyme disease and company challenge us to question our unhealthy lifestyle and the cumulative effects of a world increasingly out of balance. We are challenged to balance our inner world, then to do what we can to clean up and balance the physical world in which we live. A tall order, but until we make these connections our response will be piecemeal. Holistic healing paves the way to true health. It is time to question the limited thinking of responding only to crisis. Now is the time to help our bodies do the miraculous work it was designed to do.

Keep on reading, learning and taking charge of your own health.

Health, happiness and love to you,
