21. Supplements-Lyme Disease

This Medical Medium recommended supplement protocol is intended for those experiencing Lyme Disease. What is typically misunderstood about Lyme Disease is that underlying viral infections such as Epstein-Barr Virus, shingles and/or other types of herpes viruses are really causing much of the symptomatology associated with Lyme Disease. The bacteria typically associated with Lyme happen to co-exist with these viruses (even Strep bacteria). A tick bite introducing Lyme bacteria serves as a trigger to weaken the immune system so that the underlying viral pathogens and their neurotoxins may gain strength and initiate symptoms. 

Common symptoms of Lyme include:

  • Fatigue
  • Brain Fog
  • Tingles
  • Numbness
  • Aches and pains
  • Fevers
  • Ringing in Ears
  • Dizziness
  • Eye Floaters
  • Insomnia

Because your liver is at the heart of your detox experience, it is recommended to do the Liver Detox Protocol to fully address your symptoms. You may also consider any of the following protocols:

 

  • It can be extremely confusing and overwhelming to be a supplement consumer. There are so many products out there of which many have undesirable additives and may not contain adequate dosages to actually be therapeutic. Please refer to the Problematic Supplement Self-Reflection to take a good analysis of your current supplements.
  • It is not uncommon to be on 10-20 different supplements at a time, even to just maintain optimal health let alone facilitate healing and detox. Your amount may vary depending on your individual needs and circumstances.
  • If you are sensitive or have a lot of symptoms and health issues, it is suggested that you introduce 1 supplement at a time at a low dose and gradually increase as tolerated. Wait ~3-5 days before adding another supplement.
  • Supplements facilitate detoxification. Thus it is very important that you are properly hydrated to be able to appropriately eliminate toxins through your bowel and bladder. Otherwise they will stay in your system perpetuating dis-ease.
  • Refer here for important safety, healing and detox information.

 

Given the incredible detox power of celery juice, it is suggested to begin there. The standard amount is 16 oz but if you are sensitive, you may start out as low as 4 oz and gradually increase to at least 16 oz and even 32 oz depending on your individual healing needs. 

 Regarding individual supplements, it is recommended you start out with foundational Zinc, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C (if listed) for each protocol.

Next, at a pace that works for you, add other supplements as needed.
