Papaya leaf and lyme?

There are some very good herbal protocols that have worked for many others that would be much safer than trying to find one on your own. Why not use one that's already been established as effective against this incredibly complex infection(s)?

Yes, papaya leaf is excellent for treating Lyme disease. Rachel Weaver, Master Herbalist, in her book Be Your Own Doctor on page 115, states, "In my research for our missionaries, I discovered that papaya leaf was used for many years as a prophylactic to keep malaria away. It seems that the bitters of the leaf, build up in the blood, and do not allow the bacterium and spirochetes to grow in the blood." This makes sense to me since the spirochetes attach to the endothelial cells within the blood vessels.

She recommends making a simple papaya leaf and peppermint tea made from fresh herbs and drink it through out the day. She personally had Lyme and attributed much of her healing from drinking this tea along with other herbal protocols.

I have also tried it and have noticed quite a bit of die-off while drinking it so I believe it is doing its job well.
