Successful Treatment Outcome

I was talking to a woman in her early 30's this week and the topic of Lyme Disease came up. She said she had recovered from it and she looked perfectly fine to me. I asked her about her situation and she told me that after her last child, she became so sick that she could barely get out of bed and mentioned all of the symptoms that Lyme Disease patients have. Her primary doctor didn't help her but a specialist got a positive Lyme test and put her on the short course of doxy like all the non-LLMD's do. She got better but relapsed. Unable to take care of her child, her mother stepped in and took charge of both the child care and getting her back to good health. Her mother put her on a raw vegan diet with no meat and juiced carrots and greens (barley) 4 or 5 times a day. She also gave her something to take but I'm not sure what it was. It was from the internet so you know it worked. lol After about a month, the girl could function normally and now shows no signs of Lyme Disease.

What I took from this is that in order to cure Lyme, you must change your GI flora. She did it by eating a certain way, others do it by antibiotics or herbs. However you do it, you need to change the bacteria in your GI tract. If you have had Lyme for a long time, you need to change the bacteria in your GI tract and replenish the missing nutrients that the disease causes you to lose.

Haven't read your thread but I will. The girl went back to eating normal although she eats much more healthy than most people do. I've seen her eat baked chicken breast, broccoli, and zucchini for lunch the past two days.

Could be that your diet (other than what you are doing now) was causing too many histaminic reactions.

So that Candida diet would be low in histamines? I need to get more serious about my diet. I have cut back on gluten but not totally. I still eat dairy. I've never had a sweet tooth so no sugar doesn't bother me at all. I'm about 5'8" and 120 lbs.

I know at least two other people with same story.

One got a 10mo cure of all possible ABX for lyme that we all take. 3 weeks after ending the last abx month, all his symptoms came back. Desperate, he started to research and eat very healthy, no gluten no dairy, no meat, nuts, raw veggies, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, flax seed oil, etc... after several months all his symptoms disappeared.

the other is a guy that just took full cowden protocol , no abx, then continued with a similar diet. no symptoms right now.

but it still seems to me too simple, i mean there are lots of animals in the woods that are raw vegan and get quite sick with lyme disease. and since the bacteria is at least 20 mil years old you can't blame the pesticides either :)

but it probably helps the recovery and the immune system, and with proper herbal/abx treatment, it makes all the difference.
