Die-Off Reactions/Binders Many symptoms caused by Lyme are
driven by infl ammation. These symptoms include headaches, joint pain, fatigue and even cognitive decline. The necessary use of antimicrobial agents causes infl amma- tory levels to spike up due to the bacteria dying off. When this happens people com- monly experience an increase in symptoms. This is known as the herxheimer reaction, or die-off reaction. In a way when a person experiences this it is a good sign because it shows the treatment is working. However, when people already feel ill it is obviously not ideal for symptoms to worsen. In fact, this can be a cause for people being unable to complete a full treatment protocol.
There are ways in which the herxhei- mer symptoms can be minimized. Since it is due to the release of infl ammatory chemicals, controlling these levels is an effective way to buffer such reactions. This is often done through the use of binders. Binders are agents taken orally that soak up infl ammatory chemicals and promote their excretion from the body. This helps bring infl ammation levels down so people have fewer declines from treatment.
Whole Body Approach
Lyme disease is a complicated infec- tion requiring a multidimensional approach for treatment. There are numerous ways to kill the bacteria such as antibiotics or natural antibacterial agents. However, in order to have the best chance of recovery, care needs to be taken to help the "killing agents" be as effective as possible. Com- prehensive therapies that include target- ing biofi lms and the various forms of the bacteria greatly enhance successful treat- ment. Additionally, it is important to take the whole body into consideration rather than treating the infection as an isolated entity. This means a person’s overall health should be optimized, with a focus on good nutrition, sleep habits, stress reduction and symptomatic support. Incorporating natural and holistic treatments for Lyme disease greatly contributes to full recovery.
