The Role of Food and Supplements in Detoxification During Lyme Disease Treatment

The liver is the most important organ for the daily required detoxification process in order to maintain health and balance.

Since the early 1950s more than 90,000 new chemicals have been developed, increasing our environmental burden. In addition to having to contend with these daily environmental toxins in the air, our water and food, the liver must metabolize the end product of medications including those used in the treatment of lyme disease and other tick born illnesses as well as the die off of bacteria during treatment.

LYME DISEASE - AN URGENT APPEAL FOR REFORM: We Need Your Help!

The Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines, authored by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), are currently undergoing review. While there are multiple perspectives regarding the best treatment protocols for Lyme disease, and two professional medical societies that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, the CDC and the nation's insurance companies have historically selected the guidelines authored by the IDSA to be the sole voice for treatment advice for this highly complex and insufficiently understood illness. This has laid the groundwork for a lack of adequate treatment for hundreds of thousands of Lyme disease patients who have endured, and will continue to endure serious, persistent illness.

Evolving Objectives in the Treatment of Lyme Disease

As often happens in medicine, scientific evidence evolves; the continual flux of new patients with symptoms suggestive of Lyme disease is growing and new research has proven that Lyme disease is more complex and prevalent than we thought. The time has come to move beyond the divisiveness of the past, listen to the suffering of our patients and their families and move forward with all sides of the discussion into an evidenced-based paradigm for research, education, and patient care. The question is no longer whether Lyme is a complicated disease, or whether the current testing is adequate or whether the Lyme bacteria can survive a single antibiotic challenge in order to become a persistent infection. High quality studies show not only that it happens, but they also show how it happens, and why we should not be surprised that it happens. Our objective now is to determine which patients suffer from acute and or persistent LD, and to keep pressing for evidence-based wisdom to guide physicians and allied health care providers called upon to treat them.
