Lyme Disease: How Do You Know Your Medicine Is Working?

While it is generally agreed by all that Lyme Disease is caused by a spiral-shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi and several other co-infections, determining what medicine will work for your unique body is far from scientific.


The reality is that as different as you look from any other person on the planet, your internal organs, tissues, and biochemistry is just as unique.

Childhood Stress and Lyme Disease

Childhood Lyme infections can be somewhat easier to address, due to the pristine nature of most children’s bodies, and if it is caught early. At the same time, Lyme in children can be devastating; depending upon their health heritage and the degree of balanced life and stress in the child’s life prior to becoming sick. These issues will dictate how well a child processes through the illness.

In a child’s life, stress comes from all directions. In children, as in adults, prolonged stress predisposes one to illness by changing the cellular chemistry.

Treating Post-Lyme Syndrome

Post-Lyme Syndrome is a clinical condition where symptoms remain beyond the point where the bacteria can be detected.

The damage to the body that was caused by the infections persists even though your doctor feels the medicines have killed all the bacteria.

Post-Lyme Syndrome is the most obvious problem in the idea that antibiotics are the answer to Lyme disease. It is also the problem with taking natural supplements that are touted to kill the bacteria. Killing the bacteria and even doing extensive detoxification treatments does nothing to actually repair the damaged tissues that are the source of your symptoms.

Leaky Brain Syndrome

Although many people have heard of Leaky Bowel Syndrome, few have heard of Leaky Brain Syndrome.

I coined this term when I became aware of the damaging effects on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) from the accumulation of ammonia in the brain. Ammonia in the brain is a primary cause of neurological and psychological hypersensitivity.

Ammonia alters the permeability of the BBB, enabling larger molecules to cross, such as common amino-acids, causing cerebral allergies. Ammonia-induced Leaky Brain Syndrome is one of the primary causes of Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Cognitive dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and a myriad of other chronic conditions.

Another Patient Testimonial

At Hansa Center, we routinely get testimonials from our patients. The below testimonial is from a former chronic lyme disease sufferer. It is unedited and posted with patient consent.

We get testimonials from patients with many chronic illnesses not just lyme disease or lyme related diseases. You can turn your computer speakers on and listen to more information & testimonials at our

Beating Lyme Disease is More Than Killing Bacteria (Chapter 6 Excerpt from the "Beating Lyme Disease" book by Dr. David Jernigan

I cannot stress enough the need for your doctor to be addressing all the systems of the body on every visit. The body is totally integrated and should perform like an orchestra, with every organ and tissue keeping rhythm with all the rest of the body. Taking a multi-vitamin/mineral, or even Borrelogen™ only addresses a part of what is required by your body to restore its ability to heal.

If one organ becomes dysfunctional due to illness or trauma, it ceases to move with correct rhythm in relation to the three dimensional movement of the other organs.

Chimps and Possibly You Infected with Lyme Disease?

Splashed across the media and internet the story has spread like wildfire, “Lyme-infected chimpanzee goes on the attack, injuring handler!”

Yet another confirmation of the prevalence of what is now recognized as the most rapidly spreading infectious disease. The following will bring you up to speed on this illness that is being confirmed in well over 200,000 Americans every year.

The new “Great Imitator,” Lyme Disease, is increasingly being confirmed in cases of misdiagnosed chronic illnesses.
