Lyme disease is on the rise. One in every four children on the autism spectrum tests positive for Lyme disease. It is the fastest growing vector born infection with 300,000 new cases per year. This number is said to likely be an underestimate. It continues to be under diagnosed due to the center for Disease Control’s inadequate established bands or markers used for detection in blood tests.

Lyme disease is usually contracted through a tick bite. some of these ticks can be as small as a poppy seed and go unnoticed. Lyme can be passed in utero from a mother to her child, as well as in breast milk. Lyme can also be passed from mosquitoes and head lice. untitled-design-37

TESTING FOR LYME

As mentioned above, detecting Lyme through the standard “blot” blood test is minimal, at best. It is common to get a false negative. This means the blood test tells you that you do not have it when you actually do. So what do you do?

Best practice is to wait until your child’s gut is healthy, toxins have been reduced greatly, and his immune system is strong before testing. Tick analysis as it is not a reliable method, although it is used for supportive information sometimes. Currently the resource is www.tickchek.com, but it is preferred to go with a clinical diagnosis over what a tick checking lab says the tick has. Labs should always come secondary to patient symptoms.

LYME TREATMENT

The bacteria that cause Lyme disease can keep changing form and re-infect. Each must be treated specifically. Multiple infections suppress the immune system, so multiple systems must be treated. Lyme decreases immunity so secondary fungal, bacterial, and viral infections appear. This happens even easier if heavy metals and toxins are in the system.

Do not use traditional methods of heavy metal detoxification such as DMSA or EDTA when Lyme is present. Mercury can inhibit Lyme. If a heavy metal detoxification process allows re-absorption of toxins back into the body during the excretion process, like these chelators do, then the mercury released into the system may activate the Lyme disease. Lyme has multiple co-infections. It is systemic, gets into the intestines, and makes you intolerant of carbohydrates and develop a sensitivity to gluten, casein, and sugar.

Lyme infection does not leave easily and multiple systems are affected. Antibiotics alone have been disappointing in the treatment of Lyme disease. Autism and Lyme commonly exist in one individual. A broad based treatment which affects all co-infections and assists the body on multiple levels is necessary. Gut healing, nutritional therapies, detoxification of heavy metals and clearing all pathogens all need to be reviewed, so that you can may make educated decisions for your child.

You will need help. Not all doctors are fully informed on the proper treatment of this disease. We work with all coinfections naturally and safely in the Naturally Recovering Autism membership program using proprietary organic herbal formulas that were specifically formulated for each coinfection including mold, Lyme, PANS/strep, and parasites. Since these herbal formulas are safe and most kids with autism have these coinfections, I believe it is not necessary to spend your resources testing for them if using these herbals because they are broad spectrum and will help support the systems of the body, regardless. Let symptoms be your guide.

Quickly Reduce Your Child’s Symptoms of Autism by Eliminating 7 Foods Most People Consume Daily!

The first crucial step of autism recovery is to begin restoring health to the gut and the immune system.

The health of the gut is directly linked to the health of the brain and therefore to the symptoms of autism. In fact, 80% of the immune system comes from the gut so if the gut is not healthy, then the brain can’t thrive, and the immune system is compromised. It’s a vicious cycle, but thankfully, it’s one that we can put an end to by first eliminating harmful foods.

This is for informational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose or treat. Every child’s level of recovery is different. No two people are the same. It is never implied that all children will have the same outcome. Results are all based on individual biology and the work that is done. This process takes time and various steps, effort and resources need to be weighed. Our programs are intended to help you become more knowledgeable and guide you to help bring your child a better quality of life, whatever that may be. We want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move you forward. Nothing on this page or any of our websites is a promise or guarantee of results or future outcomes. The results on this page and any of our websites are not typical or promised. In fact, there will be people who purchase this and other programs and never put the work into implementing the strategies taught and therefore will achieve little to no results. Our more detailed earnings disclaimer, privacy policy, and terms and conditions for this program and website can be accessed via the links below. We hold ourselves (and you) to a high standard of integrity. We are cheering you on every step of the way.
