Naturopathic Protocols for Lyme Disease
Almost daily we see patients who con- tinue to suffer from symptoms since their initial diagnosis of Lyme disease. These patients have come with varying degrees of illness and varying lengths of suffering. They come to us because they are sick of being sick and are ready to truly begin and maintain healing. We approach each case as a team and provide a variety of treatments. Chronic or persistent Lyme is not a quick path to healing. Like most naturopathic protocols it is a slow process to retrain the body and create a lifetime of health. The longer the patient has suffered, the deeper the disease may go and the longer the heal- ing may take. Lyme patients tend to want to be well again so badly that they just want to push for an aggressive treatment no matter what that means. But you cannot push the body faster than it is ready!
Counseling is a big piece of the puzzle. I find that sometimes all a patient needs after a while is a pep talk. The patient needs to feel that it is alright to vent or whine or question the highs and lows of their healing process. There are online support groups but in office support groups are available as well. Within these sup- port groups, beyond depression and common symptoms sharing, fear is an aspect that needs to be addressed with a percentage of patients. These patients start feeling better and do not want to go down this road of disease again so they restrict themselves from areas and be- haviors they may enjoy just to avoid the risk of being bitten again. Some go so far as to let the fear reach everyone in the family and now there is less outside play for themselves and the children. Fear does not help healing and must be managed as well. Chronic Lyme or Acute Lyme? Although the subject is controversial your care does not have to be. At Eclectic Naturopathic Medi- cal Center we treat Lyme very seriously and completely. The patient is educated along with their care so they can make informed decisions which helps patient compliance considerably. It is time patients know it does not have to be a lifetime of discomfort and debilitation. Health and Wellness is our thing, let us help your body heal itself.
