self and your families by reducing items that deer like to munch, like nuts, ferns, mushrooms, clovers, peas, apples, and fruit. Exchange these plants for herbs, chives, daf- fodil, periwinkle, marigold, lily of the valley, maple and birch. Myth #8: You can’t catch Lyme disease
unless a tick has bitten you. Carlomagno found that LD can be transmitted from mother to baby in utero and Schmidt found it present in breast milk. I have seen multiple family members with Lyme or other tick- borne illnesses so it is important to get the whole family tested if multiple members are symptomatic. Additionally, Bransfield men- tioned some autistic children testing positive for Lyme disease (20-30%) and Mycoplasma (58%) had improvement of their symptoms with antibiotic treatment, showing that infec- tion may mimic some symptoms of autism. It is very important to see a physician at the first signs of illness, as Dr. Krause has shown that early diagnosis and treat- ment greatly reduce length and severity of symptoms. Lastly, natural treatments have been proven in vitro to work better on Lyme disease than the standard doxycycline! These natural products can stop the many forms of LD, including cyst forms, and can even breakdown its biofilm layer, making it very important to integrate natural methods of treatment.
