[color:"brown"] Please link to this page using this simple URL:[/color] http://urlbam.com/ha/szzz[color:"brown"] Please link to the "Lyme Disease" forum using this simple URL:[/color] http://urlbam.com/ha/tzzz[color:"brown"] Welcome![/color] Welcome to the Lyme Disease forum. We created this forum to help those with this terrible disease obtain and share information. We sincerely hope it helps those who are suffering. If you have comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact the forum administrator (contact information is at the bottom of the forum page). [color:"brown"] What Is Lymes?[/color] Lyme disease (LD) is an infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of bacterium called a spirochete (pronounced spy-ro-keet) that is carried by deer ticks. An infected tick can transmit the spirochete to the humans and animals it bites. Untreated, the bacterium travels through the bloodstream, establishes itself in various body tissues, and can cause a number of symptoms, some of which are severe. [color:"brown"] Resources[/color] Please send additional resource suggestions to the forum administrator. Symptoms of Lyme DiseaseThis contains a list of Lyme Disease symptoms from various sources, including the International Lyme And Associated Diseases organizations (ILADS). [b]How To Find A Lyme-Literate Doctor[/b]As I've posted elsewhere in the Lyme Disease Forum section here it is paramount that people consult with a Lyme Literate Doctor when trying to rule in or rule out the possibility of Lyme Disease and Lyme Disease Co-Infections. Going to any other type of doctor could produce disastrous results because they are simply not qualified to approach Lyme Disease. [b]Chronic Lyme Disease and Co-Infections: Clinical Overview[/b]This paper summarizes the major clinical issues surrounding chronic Lyme disease and the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. This information will serve as a foundation for the herbal practitioner’s clinical approach to chronic Lyme disease. The corresponding presentation at the AHG conference will focus on specific case studies and the nuts and bolts of seeing clients with Lyme disease.
