Lyme's Disease

 

Dear Mary,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Lyme's disease is an illness caused by a spirochete

bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted

to animals and man through the bite of infected ticks.

 

 

The disease is reported worldwide and throughout the

United States. The states of New York, Massachusetts,

Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey account for

the majority of cases in the United States. However,

cases are reported from all geographic regions of the

country. Different ticks are carriers in the different

regions. Ixodes dammini (the deer tick) in the

Northeast and midwest, Ixodes scapularis (the

black-legged tick) in the South, Ixodes pacificus (the

western black-legged tick) in the West and Amblyomma

americanum (the lone star tick) found in several

regions are all considered vectors. The is growing

concern that Dermacentor variabilis (the American dog

tick) may also be capable of transmitting the disease.

Transmission by biting insects (flies, fleas,

mosquitos) is speculated but appears to be quite rare.

 

 

Not all ticks are infected. Infection rates in tick

populations vary by tick species and geographic region

from as few as two percent to 90 percent or more.

 

Ixodes dammini is responsible for most of the cases of

Lyme disease in the northeastern United States. These

ticks are found in grassy areas (including lawns), and

in brushy, shrubby and woodland sites, even on warm

winter days. They prefer areas where some moisture is

present. The tick has three life stages: larva, nymph

and adult. Each stage takes a single blood meal. They

feed on a variety of warm blooded animals including

man, dogs, cats, horses and cows. The bite is painless

so most victims do not know they have been bitten. The

nymphal stage appears to be responsible for most Lyme

disease cases. Both the larval stage (about the size

of a grain of sand) and nymphal stage (about the size

of a poppy seed) attach to a variety of small mammals,

but prefer the white-footed mouse, the main reservoir

of the Lyme disease bacteria. The adult ticks (about

the size of a sesame seed) prefer to feed on

white-tailed deer. The entire life cycle requires

three separate hosts and takes about two years to

complete.

 

Larval and nymphal deer ticks also attach to birds.

Birds may be a primary means by which the ticks (some

infected) are spread from one area to another. Some

species of birds also function as a reservoir of

infection.

 

LYME DISEASE SYMPTOMS IN MAN

In about 50% of the cases a characteristic rash or

lesion called erythema migrans is seen. It begins a

few days to a few weeks after the bite of an infected

tick. The rash generally looks like an expanding red

ring. It is often described as looking like a

bull's-eye with alternating light and dark rings.

However, it can vary from a reddish blotchy appearance

to red throughout. And can be confused with poison

ivy, spider or insect bite, or ringworm. At about the

same time that the rash develops, flu-like symptoms

may appear with headache, sore throat, stiff neck,

fever, muscle aches, fatigue and general malaise. Some

people develop the flu-like illness without getting a

rash.

 

Seek prompt medical attention if any of these symptoms

appear, especially after being bitten by a tick or

visiting an area where Lyme disease is common. If

possible document the presence of the rash by taking a

picture because it may disappear before a physician

can see it. A picture in this case is worth 10,000

words!

 

If ignored, the early symptoms may disappear, but more

serious problems can develop months to years later.

The later symptoms of Lyme disease can be quite severe

and chronic.

 

-Muscle pain and arthritis, usually of the large

joints is common.

 

-Neurological symptoms include meningitis, numbness,

tingling, and burning sensations in the extremities,

Bell's palsy (loss of control of one or both sides of

the face), severe pain and fatigue (often extreme and

incapacitating) and depression.

 

-Heart, eye, respiratory and gastrointestinal problems

can develop. Symptoms are often intermittent lasting

from a few days to several months and sometimes years.

 

 

Chronic Lyme disease, because of its diverse symptoms,

mimics many other diseases and can be difficult to

diagnose.

 

Miscarriage, premature births, still births, birth

defects and transplacental infection of the fetus have

been reported in animals and man.

 

TREATMENT

Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. Timely

treatment increases chances of recovery and may lessen

the severity of any later symptoms in both animals and

man. The most effective treatment will be recommended

by your physician or in the case of your animals by

your veterinarian and will depend on the stage of the

disease. Treatment for later stages is more difficult

often requiring extended and repeated courses of

antibiotic therapy. In animals and man treatment

failures and relapses are reported.

 

While Lyme disease is usually cured with antibiotic

treatment, some patients experience persistent fatigue

and cognitive dysfunction.

 

Lyme disease has been described in dogs, cats, horses

cows and goats.

 

Symptoms in animals can include

-fever

-lameness and soreness

-listlessness

-loss of appetite

-swollen glands and joints

-heart, kidney, liver, eye and nervous system problems

are also described in animals.

In horses and cows:

-poor fertility

-abortions and

-chronic weight loss.

Dogs and horses:

Temperament changes

-Untreated animals can develop chronic progressive

arthritis.

 

Symptoms can be intermittent and vary in intensity

from mild to quite severe and can mimic many other

conditions. If you suspect Lyme disease in your

animals consult your veterinarian as soon as possible.

 

 

The diagnosis of Lyme disease must generally be made

on the basis of clinical signs and by ruling out other

possible diseases.

 

Animal ownership does not directly increase a person's

risk of Lyme disease. However, allowing your animals

to roam in tick habitat or venturing into tick habitat

with your animals does increase your risk of exposure

to ticks.

 

Lyme disease is not considered to be contagious

between people or directly from animals to man.

Although some deaths have been attributed to Lyme

disease, it is not generally considered to be fatal.

Once an animal or person has apparently recovered from

the disease it appears to be possible to be

reinfected.

 

 

Pranic Healing:

 

I. Fresh bite:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. General sweeping twice.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the bitten area

alternately with LWG and LWO.

Do not apply this on the head, near the heart, near

the spleen or near them.

 

If the bitten area in located on the head, on the

heart, on the spleen chakra or near any of them, apply

localized thorough sweeping alternately with LWG and

ordinary LWV.

 

4. Energize the bitten area with G-B(G-30%,B-70%).

 

Do not apply G-B on delicate areas of the body and not

on persons below 20 years old or over 45 years old.

 

For delicate areas and for those below 20 or over 45

years old, energize the affected part with LWG, LWB

then ordinary LWV.

 

5. If the infection and inflammation is severe repeat

steps 1 to 5, three to four times per day for the next

several days or until the condition stabilizes.

 

6. The frequency of treatment using steps 1 to 5 can

be reduced to three times per week when the patient's

condition has substantially improved.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the affected

area(s) organ(s) alternately with LWG and ordinary

LWV. Energize with LWG, LWB and ordinary LWV.

 

8. Localized thorough sweeping on the front, sides and

back of the lungs. Energize through the back of the

lungs with LWG, LWO then ordinary LWV. Point your

fingers away from the patient's head when energizing

with orange.

 

Step 8 may be reapplied after rescanning after 15

minutes, more than once during treatment.

 

9. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra.

Energize with LWR or white. If the patient has fever

or venereal disease, do not energize the basic chakra,

just apply thorough localized sweeping on it.

 

10. Localized thorough localized sweeping on the

minor chakras of the arms and legs. Energize them with

LWR or ordinary LWV.

 

If the patient has fever or venereal disease, do not

energize with LWR, simply use ordinary LWV.

If LWV is used, do not apply step 10 more than once

per day.

 

11. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

spleen chakra and on the navel chakra. Energize the

navel chakra with ordinary LWV.

 

12. If the spleen is painful, energize directly the

spleen chakra with LWG and ordinary LWV. Apply more

localized sweeping on the front and back spleen chkra.

 

13. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and

back solar plexus chakra and on the liver. Energize

the solar plexus chakra with LWG, LWB and ordinary

LWV.

 

14. Localized thorough sweeping on the throat chakra.

Energize it with LWG, LWB, then ordinary LWV.

 

15. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

heart chakra. Energize through the back heart chakra

with LWV.

 

16. Localized thorough sweeping on the crown chakra,

forehead chakra, ajna chakra, and back head minor

chakra. Energize them with LWG then woth more of

ordinary LWV.

 

17. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

Steps 1, 2, 7 to 17 may be applied even if the initial

infection has been over some time.

 

18. Repeat treatment three times per week.

 

Love,

 

Marilette
