Selecting The Most Effective Lyme Disease Supplements


By Dorthy Lloyd


Lyme disease is a medical condition caused when a tick bite transfers bacteria to the human host. The bacteria can spread from the skin all around the body eventually infecting the nervous system, joints, and heart. Many people are turning to Lyme disease supplements for natural and effective ways to treat this condition.

Only ticks infected with a specific bacterium transmit this disease to humans. Most bites do not transmit the type of bacterium that causes this condition. The chances of contracting this illness increase when the tick remains attached to the skin for an extended period.

Physicians often have a difficult time diagnosing this condition because most patients' symptoms will often come and go in multiple areas of the body. In many cases, the symptoms are similar to other unrelated illnesses making it even more difficult to pinpoint the cause. Symptoms may include irritable bowel, insomnia, headaches, migrating pain, memory problems, extreme mood shifts, and many others. One way to diagnose this disorder is by analyzing blood tests for the presence of specific antibodies.

This bacterial disease will show up first where the tick bit the patient. The skin will turn red around the bite and the redness will expand with time. Sometimes the rash resembles a bull's eye. The symptoms start to spread to other systems and become more severe with time.

When diagnosed early, the illness often responds positively to antibiotic therapy. The patient takes oral medication for two to six weeks. Doctors prescribe different antibiotics depending on how advanced the patient's infection is.

Patients will recover faster if they have sufficient levels of vitamin D, vitamin B, and zinc. A lack of any of these nutrients will inhibit recovery. Patients can restore healthy amounts with dietary changes or oral supplements. B vitamins, in general, are important for a healthy neurological system and improved cellular function. They also play an important role in fighting infections.

Individuals can supplement the diet with other nutrients to reduce recovery time. Magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, found in fresh fish, are necessary for healthy cellular function. Turmeric is a spice used most often in Indian food recipes. It contains curcumin, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Certain types of natural bacteria in the body serve many useful purposes but only when present in sufficient amounts. If the balance between bad and good bacteria is out of whack, it is wise to replace the good bacteria. Patients can do this by consuming probiotic rich foods and beverages. Yogurt made with raw goat's milk and kefir are excellent sources for priobiotics.

Individuals who are bitten by a tick or have been in areas where ticks are present should seek medical diagnosis if they develop symptoms. Proper diagnosis is necessary for treatment to begin as soon as possible. Allowing the illness to progress can result in neurological disorders. The doctor will have to seek aggressive treatment strategies if the disease is not caught in the early stages. After antibiotic treatment begins, patients can speed up the recovery time by making sure they eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and probiotics.
