What triggers Lyme and How to Heal Part 2

What triggers Lyme disease? Is it really because of a tick?

  • Lyme disease is not caused by ticks
  • And Lyme disease is not caused by Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria.

Lyme disease is a chronic viral infection. While you might have been diagnosed with a bacterial infection, the symptoms of Lyme are viral.

Any number of viruses tend to hide in your liver, spleen, small intestinal tract, central nervous system, ganglia or other areas where they can’t be detected by your immune system.

The liver is where they mostly nestle in, many times nver branching out and entering any other spots in your body.

A virus can bide its time until some traumatic physical or emotional event, poor diet, or other trigger weakens you and/or provides an environment that makes the virus stronger.

It can then proliferate- increase in numbers- by having a feeding frenzy on stored toxins, such as mercury, that everyone has certain levels of within them.

A virus can also release a neurotoxin during its feeding frenzy that starts to exacerbate symptoms, for example to inflame your central nervous system – which weakens your immune system’s ability to fight it off.

When we’re triggered by an emotional experience such as break up of a relationship, our body floods with a variety of adrenaline associated with the emotional trauma. Excess amounds of this adrenaline can weaken the immune system more and even feed some varieties of viruses such as EBV.

If you accumulate a toxic heavy metal such as mercury in your system, it will poison you and impair your immune system. At the same time, a virus that can cause the Lyme disease symptoms loves heavy metal toxins; they’re favoured food that makes it stronger. This double blow triggers the virus to leave its dormate state and begin growing it’s army of virus cells.

As another example if you experience a death in the family, your stressful and painful emotions can lower the defence of your immune system because they prompt your adrenal glands to produce potent adrenaline blends that can be harsh on the system over a sustained period.

At the same time, these excess amounts of harsh versions of hormones are another favoured food for the virus.

Severe stress is therefore a very common trigger for Lyme disease symptoms.

It’s worth noting that your overall health can play a major role. Even if two people have the exact same type of viral infection and are struck by the same trigger, the one who eats well, exercises regularly and gets enough sleep might not become sufficiently weakened to activate the virus, while the one who doesn’t take care of herself and himself and burns the candle at both ends might rapidly come down with Lyme symptoms.

Common Lyme Triggers

  • COVID
  • Mold
  • Mercury based dental amalgam fillings
  • Extensive blood draws (blood tests)
  • Mercury in other forms – mercury is poisonous and found in seafood due to pollution especially larger fish tuna and swordfish. Always be mindful of mercury exposure especially coming into contact with it in the medical field. Do your research and question what’s been offered to you, your children and family.
  • Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides
  • Insecticides in the home
  • Flu
  • Death in the family
  • Broken heart
  • Taking care of a sick loved one
  • Spider Bite
  • Bee sting
  • Virus friendly prescription medications: viruses thrive on antibiotics, which at the same time weaken the immune system. Medications such as benzodiazepines have a similiar effect
  • Over prescribed medications
  • Recreational drug abuse
  • Financial stress
  • Physical injuries
  • Summer swimming
  • Runoff
  • Professional carpet cleaning
  • Fresh paint
  • Insomnia
  • Tick bite can be triggers for Lyme symptoms but are not the cause. As with spider bites and bee stings, an attack that leaves some creature in your skin can result in an infection which in turn weakens your immune system. And if you have an underlying virus and timing is perfect, a bite can be all you need to instigate a breakout of viral infection.

This infection has nothing to do with Borrelia burgdoferi; Borrelia is not the bacterium that’s in the infection. Contrary to popular belief, the tick is the least common trigger on the list, accountable for less than 0.5 percent of Lyme disease cases.

If you’re experiencing what doctors call Lyme disease, then chances are you were harbouring a virus in your body for years before you got sick.

There’s a roughly 75 per cent chance that one or more of the above triggers occured within 3 months to a year of the onset of your symptoms.

Antibiotics

Medical communities mistaken belief that Lyme disease is caused by bacteria (and recently parasites) is one of the greatest mistakes in modern medical history.

It has kept so many generations dealing with viral infections from getting the true help they need.

The way doctors usually deal with Lyme disease is to prescribe antibiotics because they’re aiming to destroy Borrelia burgdorferi and other bacteria such as Bartonella, as well as parasites such as Babesia which actually have nothing to do with Lyme disease and aren’t a health threat.

Medicine is decades away from understanding the no antibiotics are needed because Lyme is viral.

Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia do not attack the central nervous system and symptoms of an inflammed central nervous system are the number one issue among all Lyme patients.

This is now labelled neurological lyme. Until medical communities learn the truth, they will continue to prescribe antibiotics for Lyme and neurological Lyme that yield no positive results and leave a wake of damage. That’s not merely ineffective. It’s dangerous.

Powerful varieties of antibiotics hammer a Lyme patient with a double blow. And because Lyme patients usually have inflammed neurological systems from viral infections in the herpes family, these harsh antibiotics bruise already sensitive nerves.

Some doctors are under the mistaken impression that the pain and other symptoms a patient experiences in this circumstances are a sign of progress -an indication of a beneficial Herxheimer reaction, that is, bacterial die off as the body detoxifies. Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia are easy kills.

In reality the symptoms indicate that something is very wrong. Antibiotics tend to be harsh on the gut and liver. They can also kill good bacteria in your gut that are part of keeping a balance with your intestinal environment.

If a doctor places you on an aggressive antibiotic for two or more weeks, then even if you take probiotics daily, your gut might need a year or more to recover from the damage.

Some guts will never be the same, even if the antibiotics is administered intravenously.

The liver tends to absorb and store the antibiotics, resulting in short term liver shock and stress. That storage of the antibiotics within the liver can also feed the viral infection responsible for Lyme.

The viruses that cause Lyme disease symptoms love antibiotics. And aggressive antibiotics do for viruses what mother’s milk does for a baby: make them grow bigger and stronger.

Taking large doses or aggressive antibiotics can transfom a relatively mild case of Lyme disease into a severe health crisis, even if that health crisis is delayed, occuring months after the adminstration of the antibiotics.

As long as doctors believe the problem behind Lyme symptoms is bacterial, they’ll be lost at sea in a fog, chasing a ghost ship at the expense of potentially millions of lives.

Addressing The Root Cause of Lyme Disease

When chronic symptoms of Lyme disease interrupt people’s lives it can be devastating.

Most patients have seen multiple doctors and have received either not answers or a diagnoses such as MS, fibromyalgia, RA, Sjögren’s syndrome, migraines, lupus, CFS, or ME/CFS.

When one of these patients finally visits a Lyme specialist, the Lyme disease diagnosis can feel like a relief; it can feel like they’ve finally uncovered the mystery.

Globally, millions of people with symptoms of what are really viral infections are instead being treated as if their illnesses are bacterial – and they’re receiving the Lyme label.

It’s becoming the most grievously misunderstood affliction of our time. As it gains momentum, it will become the most popular diagnosis of the future.

Patients and doctors alike will be overwhelmed by the validation that this designation seems to provide, even if it doesn’t make sense.

The tag “Lyme disease” will remain a label for mystery illness that one realises is due to viral infection. The tag is not an answer to what’s ailing you. Any name could have been put in the place of Lyme. For all the insight that name gives, you might as well just call it I-don’t-feel-well disease.

You have the ability to heal. Your body wants to truly heal and to be well. If you give your body what it needs and take away the unproductive elements, you can tap into your core healing power and recover your health and enjoy your life to the fullest.

Healing Foods

Certain healing fruits, leafy greens, herbs and wild foods and vegetables can help your body ward off or recover from the viruses behind Lyme disease symptoms including:

  • Wild Blueberries
  • Celery Juice
  • Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie
  • Coriander
  • Bananas
  • Garlic
  • Apricots
  • Asparagus
  • Tomatoes
  • Spinach

These are some of the best to focus to on to aid in killing viral cells, detoxification, repairing brain cells, recovering the central nervous system and other healing processes.

Remove the foods that feed viruses:

  • Dairy
  • Eggs
  • Gluten
  • Cork
  • Farmed fish
  • Pork
  • Soy
  • Processed Beet Sugar
  • Natural Flavours
  • Artificial flavours
  • MSG
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Citric acid
  • When dealing with a virus caused symptoms of condition, it’s critical to begin the process of removing at least one or two foods that feed the virus.

If you need to take your healing further gravitate towards focusing your diet on all healing foods and remove the foods that feed the virus so you can fully heal and reclaim your health and life.
