Various techniques of tick-borne diseases treatment – antibiotics, diet
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Tick-borne diseases are a group of diseases whose treatment has raised some controversy because of the conflict of opinions on therapeutic methods. Guidelines for the treatment of Lyme disease and co-infections have been developed by different groups of experts, most popular of which are IDSA and ILADS groups. Their treatment regimens primarily differ in terms of duration of treatment: IDSA proposes short-term treatment, undermined by ILADS, suggesting no effectiveness and preferring duration of treatment up to several years. In both cases, treatment is associated with the intake of antibiotics that reduce the body’s natural defense mechanisms and cause fungal infections. Therefore, in order to prevent negative effects of antibiotics, natural methods and diet shall be used. Lyme diet is a diet above all, antifungal, and methods based on natural herbal medicine. These methods are often undervalued and taken lightly as an „obsolete invention” of our ancestors. Meanwhile, they prove to be highly effective and contribute to the total eradication of Lyme disease which, treated with antibiotics only, can last for years taking a latent form to come back after a time.This article provides an overview of treatments for Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases using medicinal plants and diet.
