Hi JK,

Tell that to all the positive Lyme bloodtests I've got. lol And tell that to the Department of Health in my State as well as the federally-controlled CDC, who, in their role of infectious vector borne disease surveillance, have categorized Lyme Disease as both Epidemic and HYPER-endemic in my area.

Lyme Disease has also been categorized as the fastest growing infectious disease in America.

I have to disagree with you, I'm afraid, on your point on overdiagnosis. According to the CDC, Lyme Disease is being undereported and undiagnosed. But, I'm not here really to debate the issue with you.

You do bring up an excellent point in mentioning parasites and candida. The majority of patients with Lyme Disease also have candida and parasites. And I'm not saying that everyone who has parasites and candida have Lyme. I'm only referring to the Lyme patients in this response.

The borrelia bacteria is the most complex pathogen identified to date. It causes multi-systemic damage and it reduces immunity to an alarming level. With reduced immunity, pathogens that a non-lyme infected person might otherwise be capable of keeping in check will grow out of control (i.e., candida and parasites and worse!).

Lyme patients also have difficulty in eliminating heavy metals. Once the Lyme and Co-Infections are being treated and the bacterial load is reduced, previously metal toxic patients can usually see some degree of success in detoxing said metals.

SomedaySoon

P.S. By the way, I've got positive tests for Lyme and Lyme Co-Infections, Heavy Metal Toxicity, and Candida. Clear on parasites so far according to extensive bowel testing so far.

I've been treating Candida for a decade. Treating heavy metal toxicity for three years. In treatment for Lyme for the past 5 months.
