May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month.
Considering our proximity to Lyme, Connecticut, where the disease was first described in 1976, it's no wonder we know so many people who have suffered from a bout of Lyme, some worse than others.
Ticks are tiny. Most people don't even recall seeing a tick on them, let alone know they got bit. A minority of people get some kind of rash, often a bullseye, but it can be difficult to identify since the rash isn't always a bullseye, it can be covered by hair or birthmarks, and it can be difficult to see on darker skin.
Lyme disease results when a bite from an infected tick transmits borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochete that can penetrate into any organ in the body, it can change shape, avoid detection, hide under a "biofilm" and depending on where the spirochetes end up, you could experience a wide array of symptoms.
It's not just borrelia burgdorferi that can be transmitted through the bite of a tick.
Ticks can also transmit anaplasmosis, babesiosis, bartonella, borrelia mayonii, borrelia miyamotoi, bourbon virus, Colorado tick fever, ehrlichiosis, Heartland virus, Powassan disease, Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), STARI (Southern tick-associated rash illness), tickborne relapsing fever (TBRF), tularemia and 364D rickettsiosis, which is a new disease recently discovered in California.
The CDC tells you these are rare diseases, "hard to get and easy to treat", but in our experience they are all too common. Treatment can take a long time, especially for chronic lyme, and usually requires the guidance of an expert functional doctor, multiple herbal remedies and more. Unless you discover the tick right way, that is, since early treatment tends to be more successful.
Further complicating the situation, Lyme tests are notoriously unreliable—wrong more often than they are right—and tests don't always exist for other tickborne illnesses, especially the newer ones.
Perhaps the biggest issue with Lyme is that it's been known to mimic hundreds of other conditions, earning it the nickname "The Great Imitator".
Every single thing listed below is linked to a research document in the National Institute of Health (NIH) PubMed Database that implicates Lyme as the cause. In fact, the search for keywords "Lyme disease" yielded 15,920 results. So this is not an exhaustive list of every condition that Lyme has ever caused, but it's a pretty good start and certainly food for thought.
There are a number of organizations doing great work on Lyme disease, including the Global Lyme Alliance based in Stamford, the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, Project Lyme and more.
But in our experience, the information from the CDC can be inaccurate, misleading and sometimes downright propaganda, which shouldn't be a surprise after watching the CDC spread covid vaccine propaganda.
Which reminds us...
Pfizer is developing a new vaccine for Lyme disease... and much like the covid vaccines, we would never ever consider taking it. Not for any reason. Not even if we were paid to take it, if it was required for work or travel or anything. Never!
