Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi everyone, Since multiple inquiries are presented, I'm writing a general message on this topic, rather than responding to each one individually. I have consulted with Dr. Tim Trader in preparing this post. Western medicine takes the point of view that Lyme disease is caused by bacteria carried on certain ticks. From the Centers for Disease Control: Lyme disease was named in 1977 when arthritis was observed in a cluster of children in and around Lyme, Connecticut. Further investigation revealed that Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi <http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/bburgdorferi_sm.htm> . These bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected deer ticks and caused more than 23,000 infections in the United States in 2002. From our perspective: Bacteria of the type Borrelia burgdorfen are indeed injected into the body via the bite of these deer ticks. The body responds to destroy and eliminate these bacteria, resulting in the collection of symptoms called " Lyme disease. " Tim reports that, when he had his clinical practice in South Dakota, he observed MANY cases of Lyme disease in the Black Hills area. IMPORTANT: Use of antibiotics makes full and permanent recovery from these symptoms much more difficult, and symptoms tend to recur over time. By " full and permanent recovery, " we mean that the body has complete and permanent mastery over this microorganism, such that symptoms do not recur. This goal contrasts sharply with mere temporary symptomatic relief. GOAL: We are creating health, not treating " diseases " or " conditions. " Therefore, we wish to support the body by giving it the basic ingredients for creating health. APPROACH: First among these ingredients for creating health is proper rest. ALL cleansing and construction of new cells and tissues in the body occurs during some state of relative rest. Therefore, fasting is recommended in most cases, but please note the following: We have found that people who have taken no antibiotics for the Lyme disease and currently use no other drugs (including herbs, supplements, etc.) would most likely need to fast for 4-7 days, with water and generalized rest, meaning minimization of all activity (work, social, errands, reading, television, etc.) We have found that people who have taken antibiotics for Lyme disease must first stop the drugs, then fast FOR A MIMINUM OF 2 WEEKS. If they are not eating primarily RF, then a rigorous RF diet for a week or so preceding the fast may be constructive. On-site fasting supervision is recommended. STOPPING THE DRUGS: This requires some discussion, depends on which drugs, dosages/frequency used, duration used, other drugs used concurrently, etc. -- ------------------------ [ SECURITY NOTICE ] ------------------------ rawfood , rawschool .
