Hey everyone, I hope you're enjoying our new series, SICK. Each episode will take a deep dive into a different disease, so let us know your suggestions on what we should do next.
Thank you for making this video. My cousin has lymes disease and has been receiving bad treatment here in the uk cause most doctors either don’t know enough about it or don’t believe that it exists. So thanks again for increasing people’s awareness to lymes disease !!
Good to know ignorant doctors aren’t unique to parts of the US, sadly physicians tend to be too arrogant to ever actually listen to their patients or take the time to learn about something they aren’t familiar with treating.
I mean, I'm in the UK. I got a tick bite, leg swelled up, bullseye mark on leg. Diagnosed about 2 weeks after symptoms started, 2 week course of antibiotics and leg up for a few days so help manage the swelling. I was fine within 5 days or so but finished my treatment as you're meant to. The NHS was incredible because I could barely walk by the time I got to the hospital due to pain from the swelling. Been fine ever since.
Liam Parkinson lucky you. But my cousin didn’t have any easily identifiable cause to her afflictions. So she had to go to America to get treatment. Turned out she had brain swelling as well as other things like glucose intolerance for some reason and a whole host of others. I’m glad the NHS were so helpful in your case !! And in almost every other regard they are Brilliant as well.
Most insurance in the US will not pay for lyme. Before I found out I had something different I was about to fly to the UK. Bunk at a friend’s place and get treated. The doctors I saw in Arizona wore not aloud to treat me because if insurance.
@@LiamoLuo Out of interest when you went to walk on the leg did you find the pain was excruciating when standing still? yet when walking it wouldn't hurt as much?
Some bacteria and mold are airborne, safest way of living is not living lol just like Gretzky said, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Well if you aren't living, you can't get hurt or die! Lol
@lana lake well the disease exist for centuries,its *identified* in Lyme Connecticut it's still unknown where and how the disease *originated* identification and origination is different things just like COVID-19,its unknown what animal the virus originated from, but its identified in Wuhan in late 2019
@lana lake Thanks for the reply! Doc just told me I'm borderline diabetic so I have to avoid sugars, which unfortunately are not just white / cane sugar but in the aforementioned foods... and fruit! A friend told me to avoid drinking fruit juice! So much for breakfast without orange juice is like a day without sunshine! Blueberries would be OK though. Hey, I have a friend in Toronto who is a nurse, I should ask her about this!
Lyme Disease can be very debilitating. Here in British Columbia the medical community wouldn't acknowledge its existence, so people that contracted it would not be treated and suffered terribly. Only one doctor would treat affected people, and his medical license was revoked for doing so. If you become infected, get treatment right away and make sure they give high doses of antibiotics. Failure to do so can cause the disease to become chronic.
It is the same in the USA and some other countries.... many doctors may be aware of Lyme & are not allowed to acknowledge or treat it....especially the Emergency Medicine doctors, unfortunately. We have to seek out good "Lyme Literate MDs" and travel great distances to them....often moving to live near them, just to survive. Many do not live. Many commit suicide and their Lyme Disease is never recorded. Do whatever it takes.... yes...if you get a tick bite, SAVE THE TICK in a ziplock baggie, and send it for testing.... there are several places that test for free or a small fee, some charge more. ALWAYS obtain Doxycycline for adults that have been bitten, however you can obtain it....especially if you have acne (?) the doctors love to prescribe doxy for acne...(ahem!). Several weeks is barely enough for an initial infection....get yourself to a good Lyme literate Dr if you are bitten by a tick! Good advice, thank you, Robert Zanatta!!!
@@nane-gabrielabejan6657 - I’m nit doctor but I speculate that if you had a blood transfusion wouldn’t that technically get rid of the foreign spirochete? However I know since the new blood is technically foreign that could be a huge negative as well especially since your immune systems already been compromised for years lol
I've been living with Lyme's disease for a little over a year now... Got bit by a tick in the park with my dog, had a huge bullseye, no idea what it was until a colleague urged me to see a doctor. I wasn't worried as I heard most of the time nothing happens and antibiotics do the job. 3 weeks of antibiotics didn't do the job. I'm officially chronic now and it's slowly getting worst. I get sick with awful flu like symptoms every single time I travel or am a bit stressed or cold or anything, get migraines, lose focus, sometimes wakeup with extreme weakness. It has made me very depressed, I used to be so healthy and now feel like ive aged 20 years... And there is nothing I can do about it. :(
The Fur Monsters, very sorry you have Lyme Disease. Hope you have a good Lyme Literate MD ("LLMD") to help you tame your Lyme into remission, at least. 3 weeks of antibiotics has never worked for anyone with Lyme, that I've met or talked with, or read about! It's just not how Lyme works...for example, I took several antibiotics for many years, along with many other "alternative" (herbal) therapies & a gluten/sugar/meat/dairy-free diet...and it took me YEARS of hard work to get my Lyme into a remission-like state... and I still do get sick when intensely stressed or if someone I love dies, etc...It sucks, but I try to manage it best I am able. I hope that you can find help. It is out there, if you look for a good LLMD. Best wishes to you & your dog, too.
@@Tinyteacher1111 no sugar, get the gi tract biome super healthy.... gotta do it..... no sugar or processed foods..... only stone fruit if you need sugar
@@Josue-xd5ru Omg! I have them, and it ranges from neuropathy to psychiatric disorders, anxiety, and a plethora of other symptoms. Look it up. Too much to tell in one comment.
I have Lyme arthritis and had Lyme. If you got a tick bite and have flu like symptoms see your Dr. ESPECIALLY if your area sees high deer tick activity like mine. My county has the second highest incidence of Lyme in the USA.
Couldn't say that any better. I was bitten shortly before or after being in a car crash as a child. Disease went undiagnosed for almost a year till I got bell palsy and my parents thought I had a stroke. The pain is horrible and can find its way to new parts of the body over time. If you have symptoms GET CHECKED OUT
@@sammyj2917 I was lucky because our area is VERY Lyme literate. Antibiotics are handed out like candy in the summer. I went to the Dr because my knee was so swollen with fluid that it was not moving and I could not walk. A week later the fluid was drained. I also have RA triggered by the Lyme and secondary to ulcerative colitis. Thank God I got a quick diagnosis and can now walk again!
Good luck there. Was a big lawsuit about it. Some people were crippled from the vaccine. This was in the 80s. None os us affected got anything out of it
Mountainwolf01 I had it for over 25 years all their tests in mainstream medical are only 30% accurate once it’s chronic, and I got false negatives...like every thing else. I saw a Toxicology decades later and found out I had it, bad heavy metal toxicity, & 6 confections...all from treatments & foods the FDA said was safe. U may want to research Medical ozone. Doctors who use it says it is the best thing known for Lyme, and it’s co-infections, and it actually helps mitochondrial & immune function etc. unlike antibiotics which wreck both & cause major chronic co-infections in so many cases. Hope this helps
Just got bit by a tick on Sunday. Felt something on my inner thigh and picked it off without thinking looked at it yesterday and found it has a black almost bruised center with a orangish-red ring around it. I'll be going to urgent care in the morning.
Make certain they test for Lyme and prescribe a strong, wide spectrum antibiotic 10 days to show positive in a blood test. . 21 days with doxycyciline . Pay attention to symptoms . Google them
One of the better lyme clips - all due to the infamous Doctor Stricker, someone who really knows the disease and the co- infections. I'd take his information to the bank any day especially since there's so many lyme clips that are either very incomplete or inaccurate.
The most scary thing of Lyme disease which isn’t the disease itself but the potential chronic persistence Lyme disease syndrome that can’t be detected by most common tests
Forty to 90 percent of white-footed mice carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete bacterium that causes Lyme disease, and they provide the first blood meals for blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks, which can transmit the disease to humans. White-footed mice are typically considered outdoor animals

Borrelli afzeill and RMSF crossing the blood barrier attacking every organ including my heart is not responsive to herbs right now. Including my nerves and Brain. I tried herbs in the beginning before I knew how far it went by a MRI. However thank you for information and approach. I have been Diginosed as Chronic by a Lyme literate doctor and currently have an internal disease doctor seeing over my Pic line, Cexfrzoine. I may look more into your approach. Ever Tick Borne diseases and Lyme patients have different protocols that help them navigate the daily pain and struggles they live with everday. Best wishes and thank you. 💚
@@creativeminds2359I’m so sorry to hear that! You are not alone! I have RMSF since 2019 and have panic attacks on and off since and I have pain in my joints and bones particularly my ankle. I have adult acne and bloated up 60 pounds since. Doctors do not listen or believe me so I’m just sitting here tortured almost everyday.
I was just diagnoses and I’ve had it for 18 years. And been misdiagnoses all that time Horrible arthritis, joint pain that is disabling and nerve damage, And many other effects. It sucks
How many times do you test for it? I’m worried i have it. I’ve tested twice and both have come back negative. I never got a rash. But I’m having a lot of abnormal joint pain, numbness and tingling.
The video was in fact not made for you, but for people who doesn’t understand or know this bacteria/desease in order to make it sound interesting for everyone to learn about it. Getting offended for the music is being so self-centered.
I got fatigue, cloudy brain, no appetite, tightened my lymphoid, made my bones ache, nausea, weight lose, hip pain..... yah basically a million different symptoms! And it’s different for every person. That’s why it is so hard to figure out if someone has it. Hope that helped 😅😄
It's kind of too simplified if you state the reasoning not injecting humans with the protein is because humans aren't deer. Humans aren't cows either yet one of the earliest vaccines (which was against smallpox) was derived from smallpox in cows and yes I know that vaccines and protein injection are not similar but that is not the point here, the point is here simply that explaining it in this way may leave out some essential information.
Seems like they would test the deer protein on mice, or other rodents that have Lyme. They test everything else on mice. The medical community has left so many people suffering. I contracted Lyme in 2005, and continue to have bouts of being so sick, that I can barely put one foot in front of the other. The Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University will not see patients with Lyme. They are a research hospital, so you would expect that they would be studying Lyme, and accepting Lyme patients. My PCP tried to get me in there in 2005, but they would not see me. I got home, in disbelief, and found an infectious disease doctor at MCV. I e-mailed her, and within a half-hour she answered me, and confirmed that they did not see Lyme patients. She said that Lyme disease mimics so many other diseases, and that it is called "The Great Imitator". That was my first dead-end in my fight with Lyme. I ended up seeing an infectious disease doctor, about five years into Lyme. She was very concerned and wanted to treat my with IV antibiotics. She called the CDC to make the report (as required), and they would not allow her to treat me. Come to find out, a doctor in NC who had been treating Lyme patients with IV antibiotics, lost his medical degree. It was a big deal, going through the Courts. Doctors act like they do not even want to hear the word "Lyme". I think word has gotten around about the doctor losing his license, so the medical community just sends you home. It makes me feel like I am just sitting here, waiting to die. It is so depressing, and isolating. I feel like I have the flu, without a fever. Study after study, and none of them tells anyone how to treat Lyme. It is a joke, and so frustrating. Here is this doctor stating that "humans are not deer". Thanks a lot. I would have never known. That is the exact reason why so many people are suffering. Doctors just put you off. They want to diagnose you in one minute, give you a prescription, and send you on your way. They are not educated in Lyme Disease, and make you feel like you are a hypochondriac. My last bout started in November 2019, and I have not left my house that entire time. I am so disgusted with doctors, that I no longer want to even go for my regular appointments. I go to bed at night, and pray to not wake up the next morning. Then, when I do wake up, I cry. I would not do anything to harm myself, as I know that would be a sin. I also do not want to leave that legacy to my family. So, all I have left is prayer and faith. Some days I get so mad with God. There are so many people suffering with so many dreadful diseases. I know a lot of people fight to live. I feel like I have given up. I lived a very blessed life, and feel as if I am sick now, I cannot complain. But, it is very hard to be sick everyday, and feel like there is nothing but dead ends out there. Sorry to rant on and on. I always hope that the right person will see people's struggles, and do something about it. I pray for everyone and anyone who is sick in any way.
Too much cutting in and out from the doctor (and he should have left his glasses on). Just seemed cheap, and the background drum and symbol thing thing too. I hope this format doesn't stick.
Ive had chronic Lyme disease and while I'm mostly better, I suffer from fatigue and pain in my lower legs. I take magnesium supplements but it only helps so much. My lower legs throb, especially on the weekends for some reason. Been to a ton of doctors and have had many tests run on my legs. I'm still looking for answers.
@@Enigminthemist I've been to several pain doctors. I used to be on pain meds but they can be addictive and have side effects. I got a medical marijuana card and have been experimenting with cannabis for pain relief. I like taking CBD edibles which seem to help with the pain. Unfortunately though in the east coast the selection is much more limited than what's available in the West coast. I like edibles because I can control the dosage of CBD or THC that's entering my body. I have to restock and I need to find a nearby dispensary that has something that'll work for me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fix the root cause of the reason for the pain. I believe Bartonella and Lyme have left a lasting chronic pain in my legs.
I hope you have a good LLMD (Lyme-Literate M.D.) to help you with your leg pain. I had lower leg pain & it turned out to be Bartonella....so be sure to be thoroughly checked for Lyme coinfections, too! Best wishes
No mention of Wolbachi as a tick bacteria, it lives symbiotically with the common dog roundworm (known as the face parasite - it loves the human face - its cooler). The symtoms are similar to Lyme, it can only be detected by histopathology, it's described in literature as being a potentially undetected epidemic.
I am a manager of a wildlife refuge and so do a ton of hiking. Ticks have never been this bad. Last week my dog and I had an accumulative total of 152 from a single hike. I've contracted Lyme's when I was younger, if we ever bring back the vaccine or discover a new cure or treatment please let me know. My dog is vaccinated, lucky him...
The vaccine for dogs is garbage. Do not rely on that! (Sorry, don't shot the messenger.) My dog got full blown Lyme from the vaccine.... it is a total lie.
Great video. The editor had a laugh I'm sure at the scale-in cuts at 0:49. You did him wrong by starting his L3 scale in with his tongue sticking out. I lol'd tho. (The editor hid it well. Only 1 frame.)
I just discovered this cuz of avril and now I’m terrified. When I was younger, it may sound gross (it’s the norm though), my grandma used to pick the ticks from cows/dogs and squish them with her nails. I’m gobsmacked with how serious it would’ve been if she, my siblings, or me got bitten😮

This is probably far too simple, but if the bacteria isn’t doing anything in our bodies, then would it not be possible to have our bodies accept it instead of constantly lose a battle fighting it? I’m not aware of such a technique in medicine but it strikes me as a more logical approach, if it’s possible. This is what zero hours of medical study looks like 🥲
In Arizona, we don't get as much Lyme disease apart from a few cases in the extreme north part of the state, but Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is definitely a thing here, especially in the American Indian reservations and near the US-Mexico border.
@@Seeker That would be neat! My Master's thesis project was on Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and the brown dog ticks in Arizona. I'd love to share some info if you're interested!
Lyme Disease is PANDEMIC. Lyme Disease is rampant in every U.S. state, in every country. There is just as much Lyme in Arizona as there is in Long Island, NY, as there is in Rhode Island.... people suffering from it are often told that "It's growing pains", "It's just a little fatigue", "It's probably just not enough sleep", "You're probably just overworked", "It's arthritis", "It's all in your head", etc., ad nauseum. OR, they drop dead, are chronically ill/ misdiagnosed, hopefully minimally ill, just 'living with it', or seeking a 'rea'l diagnosis. The media never covers these patients, especially the dead ones who just die off.... Do not kid yourself...it is EVERYwhere there are animals and life.... and has been for thousands of years. Only now, "Lyme" is a massive cocktail of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogen-yuck...which no one test can possibly uncover. A patient would need to be checked for; Cytomegalovirus; Anaplasmosis; Bartonella; Babesia; Lyme Disease; Complete Blood Workup --all by a Lyme Literate MD, etc., etc., etc... in order to rule out "Lyme Disease". Where there are humans there is garbage. Where there is garbage there are mice and rats and birds and cats and dogs and deer and other life and.....ticks. You would need to be in an airtight, lifeless bubble to be in an area that does not have much Lyme! LOL. Birds are often covered with ticks. The ticks fly with the birds- around the world ...or back...or are dropped off right in your yard. Next time you are outside, look for a bird. If you see a bird, you have ticks and Lyme Disease where you live. Honest.
I agree! However, if you suspect mold or Lyme, get tested!!! I’ve had it all starting with getting breast implants 19 years ago. It took 12 years to find out about the illnesses they can cause, and by that time I had to retire from my teaching job because I couldn’t think clearly, lost friends and family, a 20 year relationship, tons of money, etc., all because no one knew and thought I was on drugs. I’ve been susceptible to everything since then.
I am no doctor or scientist but I have read that lyme disease are not just bacterial infection. Lyme disease gives you TBE viral infection too. And another artical wrote that person can get fungal infection as well. You must take antiviral and antifungal medicine too, to get rid of your symptoms. That why inflammation persist in persons body after antibiotic treatment.
I am no doctor, either, but I sure feel more informed than most doctors, LOL!.....Yes, Lyme Disease is like a biowarfare viral/bacterial soup! Also, the coinfections that go along with Lyme Disease are plentiful and hard to spell: Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia/Anaplasmosis, Cytomeglomeglovirus..and there's always Thrush from antibiotics, Q Fever, Tularemia, Mycoplasma, Powassan Virus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever ("Rickettsia Rickettsii"), "Tickborne Relapsing Fever", Rickettsia Helvetica, Rickettsia Parkerii or Rickettsii Philipii, etc., etc..AND MORE. There are many pathogens in this one "Lyme Disease" that must all be diagnosed and treated appropriately. I tested positive for Bartonella, Babesia, Cytomegalovirus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever & Lyme Disease....while my mother tested positive for Ehrlichia & Lyme Disease. My father died from Powassan fever and Lyme Disease & we did not get a chance to test him for anything else before he passed, unfortunately. My sibling tested extremely high positive for Bartonella and Lyme and died from complications. On a more upbeat note, I find that not eating gluten, sugar, meat & dairy was helpful in my recovery and DEFINITELY continues to be helpful in making me feel better. Oh, and I got Alpha Gal from one Lone Star tick bite, so I am allergic to meat, which is not a big deal for me, a vegetarian.... but I have to be REALLY careful about eating out....as most foods are often cooked together & if my food was cooked with meat, my body turns all red and blotchy and I look like I'm a cooked lobster that's about to explode...much drama, but luckily, I haven't had breathing complications...but I do carry an Epi Pen, just in case. Inflammation IS the bottom line with Lyme! YES! Eating Alkaline is key. Best wishes.
I am very sorry for what you and your family have gone through. I think the best treatment to get better is antiviral medicine like Ganciclovir IV, Forscanet IV and fungal infection medicine like Amphotericin IV.

I just got tested even though, I didn’t have bull’s-eye and minor version of the symptoms. My doctor was even like I don’t think you have it but we’ll see when the results come back. Turns out I’m positive, and starting on antibiotics today. So when In doubt pay the 25 dollors copay and get tested.
@@kas2388 it was horrible honestly slept like 14-15 hrs a day the whole time. Made my masters horrific tbh. But I’m mostly done now and getting back into the gym to regain progress lost. Just can’t mess around with your antibiotics cause the second ones you have to take are 100 times worse.
My father got both by a tick last year hunting in New Hampshire around this same time. And caught lyme disease. His whole leg got mad red and inflamed before he got it treated.
Humans aren't deer? No way! Never would've guessed. Does the protein only work with deer immune system or would the protein have negative side effects in humans. What is the mechanism of action of this protein?
Now it all makes sense, thanks! The moment I saw Dr Stricker, I somehow got a mental facial recognition match with Chris Pine. Maybe that's what he'll look like later in life =D

Hard ticks or scale ticks that carry Borrelia bacteria: - Domain Eukaryota, Phylum Arthropoda, Subphylum Chelicerata, Class Arachnida, Order Ixodida. Bacteria that causes Lyme disease: - Domain Bacteria, Phylum Spirochaetota, Genus Borrelia.
I had Lyme disease 27 years before I was diagnosed. Every doctor told me my symptoms were everything except Lyme. I am in late stage and have had Lyme for 38 years.
Can you guys do a video on bed bugs? they are sorta like ticks but a totally different nightmarish pest - reason im asking is because i am highly allergic to them.
@@Seeker Thank you! Look forward too it! and finding out what i currently don't already know about them, an i hate and fear them with a passion(due to being allergic). would be nice to know why like only a few % of the human population show signs of their bites, and or are allergic to them an why. etc.
This was a possible rumor going around.... one would have to ingest an impossibly toxic amount of antihistamine for it to matter with Lyme Disease. However, some people with Lyme Disease may find it helpful, for whatever reason. It is not a Lyme cure, unfortunately.
Coffeyville Science Girl If she still blogs can post it somewhere? I sure there are many people out there that need support from someone that walks the walk and talks the talk.
As a child, between 5 and 7, I was always fooling around in my grandparents garden. Playing with muck, exploring trees, getting dirty, stirring up ants nests and so on. Every little bug was something wonderful. During the summer when I wanted to play in the high grass or in the more “wild” part of the huge garden I was made to wear long trousers and have my socks put over the underside of the pants. Off course I was also constant surrounded by the neighbourhoods cats, which were mostly carrying ticks and or flees. (I fed them my sandwich 😉)This was in the 70 ‘s so people didn’t have much to get the vermin off their pets. My granny used some kind of powder and put a flee collar on our cats but they still came home with ticks.. My parents and grandparents were so cautious in making me wear clothing that was mostly tick proof. As a child can you imagine wearing pants and socks and boots if it is really warm? Well I couldn’t either. Once I was out off sight, off came the clothes. Running around barefoot in my undies and t-shirt was a lot cooler but I got a lot of ticks stuck to my body... it was so bad that I was forbidden to go out playing without adult supervision. My poor parents had to go so many times with me to the doctor... Luckily I never got infected.
I was just thinking....maybe your grandmother used Seven dust or "Diatomaceous Earth" (DE) on the ground and/or kitties... I often use food-grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) for many things...on the ground, my dogs like to sunbathe on....in garden, etc...you can even eat it..DE controls fleas, ticks, mites, ants....DE fertilizes soil, deodorizes the kitty litter box....kills worms & parasites...makes a fabulous facial scrub, etc... Anyway, I am so very impressed... Your parents were absolutely brilliant & vastly ahead of their time! You are SO LUCKY!!!!! I am so very happy that you did not get this dreadful plague. It is truly awful & I love your parents for taking such good care of you!!!! P.S. Tuck your pant legs in your knee socks! LOL, it works!
@@yaelwolfsong4616 Thanks for mentioning diatomaceous earth. Question: have you ever fed it to your dogs (small doses??) for worming them intestinally? Thanks for sharing!
Humans aren't deer but understanding how the protein in deer actually kill the bacteria would certainly seem helpful in coming up with treatment or vaccines
You would think this would be studied like....many, many decades ago. Hmmm.... Meanwhile the Centers for Disease Control people would be placing their own personal patents on that, too...just like they did on the phony "Lyme vaccines" they injured so many people and pets with, and continue to lie about. Watch the movies "Under Our Skin" and the sequel "Under Our Skin 2: Emergence". Knowledge really is power!
If deer have proteins in their body that kills Lyme, why do ticks contract it from the deer only to go on and spread it around? I was bit by a tick in Maine in July 2016. Sent the tick in for testing and it had Lyme. 3 years later I seem fine and the test I had for Lyme came back negative so thank goodness for that. Lyme can be a nightmare.
Lyme Disease can go into remission, and that's a great place for it to be! I find that a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet helps keep my Lyme symptoms minimal. Also exercise, when I'm able. Do whatever works for you!!

@lana lake well the disease exist for centuries,its *identified* in Lyme Connecticut
it's still unknown where and how the disease *originated*
identification and origination is different things
just like COVID-19,its unknown what animal the virus originated from, but its identified in Wuhan in late 2019
@lana lake Suddenly I wanna have a pizza... but my doc told me to avoid stuff like bread, rice, pasta, pizza... 😔
@lana lake Thanks for the reply! Doc just told me I'm borderline diabetic so I have to avoid sugars, which unfortunately are not just white / cane sugar but in the aforementioned foods... and fruit! A friend told me to avoid drinking fruit juice! So much for breakfast without orange juice is like a day without sunshine! Blueberries would be OK though.
Hey, I have a friend in Toronto who is a nurse, I should ask her about this!
@lana lake Love blueberries but they're expensive! I'll check back in here later, promise! And thanks!
Truth!!
Lyme Disease can be very debilitating. Here in British Columbia the medical community wouldn't acknowledge its existence, so people that contracted it would not be treated and suffered terribly. Only one doctor would treat affected people, and his medical license was revoked for doing so.
If you become infected, get treatment right away and make sure they give high doses of antibiotics. Failure to do so can cause the disease to become chronic.
It is the same in the USA and some other countries.... many doctors may be aware of Lyme & are not allowed to acknowledge or treat it....especially the Emergency Medicine doctors, unfortunately. We have to seek out good "Lyme Literate MDs" and travel great distances to them....often moving to live near them, just to survive. Many do not live. Many commit suicide and their Lyme Disease is never recorded. Do whatever it takes.... yes...if you get a tick bite, SAVE THE TICK in a ziplock baggie, and send it for testing.... there are several places that test for free or a small fee, some charge more. ALWAYS obtain Doxycycline for adults that have been bitten, however you can obtain it....especially if you have acne (?) the doctors love to prescribe doxy for acne...(ahem!). Several weeks is barely enough for an initial infection....get yourself to a good Lyme literate Dr if you are bitten by a tick! Good advice, thank you, Robert Zanatta!!!
I'm currently in ill health due to lyme disease that was undiagnosed in me for 7 months. Suffering terrible September 2023 💔
So basically if a tick bites you, panic. Right down to your cells.
yes, I have Lyme and it just litteraly ruined my life :( got arthritis at 27, extreme fatigue, fybromialgia...
Nane-Gabriela Bejan i relate to that. i have lyme, and it’s caused serious fatigue, and worsened my arthritis anyways. i’m almost 16.

@@nane-gabrielabejan6657 - I’m nit doctor but I speculate that if you had a blood transfusion wouldn’t that technically get rid of the foreign spirochete? However I know since the new blood is technically foreign that could be a huge negative as well especially since your immune systems already been compromised for years lol
@@nane-gabrielabejan6657 - Mayne I don’t have an idea :(
Thanks for pointing out that you may or may NOT get the bullseye rash. A lot of doctors dont seem to get that unfortunately.
This may be due to diagnosis guidelines, unfortunately
This couldn’t have been better timing, my cousin was just diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Thanks guys.
Please submit an update. I hope everything is okay.
Yes, how is your cousin doing these days
I'm doing my biology project on Lyme and your visuals/explanations of the immune system attack really helped me understand!!
Cool topic! Makes people aware of Lyme❣️
I've been living with Lyme's disease for a little over a year now... Got bit by a tick in the park with my dog, had a huge bullseye, no idea what it was until a colleague urged me to see a doctor. I wasn't worried as I heard most of the time nothing happens and antibiotics do the job. 3 weeks of antibiotics didn't do the job. I'm officially chronic now and it's slowly getting worst. I get sick with awful flu like symptoms every single time I travel or am a bit stressed or cold or anything, get migraines, lose focus, sometimes wakeup with extreme weakness. It has made me very depressed, I used to be so healthy and now feel like ive aged 20 years... And there is nothing I can do about it. :(
The Fur Monsters, very sorry you have Lyme Disease. Hope you have a good Lyme Literate MD ("LLMD") to help you tame your Lyme into remission, at least. 3 weeks of antibiotics has never worked for anyone with Lyme, that I've met or talked with, or read about! It's just not how Lyme works...for example, I took several antibiotics for many years, along with many other "alternative" (herbal) therapies & a gluten/sugar/meat/dairy-free diet...and it took me YEARS of hard work to get my Lyme into a remission-like state... and I still do get sick when intensely stressed or if someone I love dies, etc...It sucks, but I try to manage it best I am able. I hope that you can find help. It is out there, if you look for a good LLMD. Best wishes to you & your dog, too.
How are you feeling now?
no sugar....work your diet
Same here!
@@Tinyteacher1111 no sugar, get the gi tract biome super healthy.... gotta do it..... no sugar or processed foods..... only stone fruit if you need sugar
Both me and my sister had Lyme disease and coincidentally we both had stomach and nervous problems. It’s a real pain.
Did you took antibiotics?
Was it very noticable?
What kind of nervous problems?
@@Josue-xd5ru Omg! I have them, and it ranges from neuropathy to psychiatric disorders, anxiety, and a plethora of other symptoms. Look it up. Too much to tell in one comment.

Hello facterio
@@hapyness hey
I have Lyme arthritis and had Lyme. If you got a tick bite and have flu like symptoms see your Dr. ESPECIALLY if your area sees high deer tick activity like mine. My county has the second highest incidence of Lyme in the USA.
Couldn't say that any better. I was bitten shortly before or after being in a car crash as a child. Disease went undiagnosed for almost a year till I got bell palsy and my parents thought I had a stroke. The pain is horrible and can find its way to new parts of the body over time. If you have symptoms GET CHECKED OUT
@@sammyj2917 I was lucky because our area is VERY Lyme literate. Antibiotics are handed out like candy in the summer. I went to the Dr because my knee was so swollen with fluid that it was not moving and I could not walk. A week later the fluid was drained. I also have RA triggered by the Lyme and secondary to ulcerative colitis. Thank God I got a quick diagnosis and can now walk again!
@@queenofdramatech what had caused the fluid build up? The RA?
@@chunkylover5367
Lyme. It was so fast and so bad I woke up, could walk, went to bed unable to walk.
@@queenofdramatech Shit. That's terrible. It's almost impossible for doctors to figure those things out in most parts of the US
The music seems bizarre for the topic. No music at all would've done the presentation more justice
Love how the drums go along with the talking so pleasing as a drummer
I was on the trial for the first vaccine I still deal with it. Never again. I think Lyme never goes away no matter what they say
If you had the Lyme vaccine, then they directly injected you with Lyme Disease-cocktail "soup". Hope you find a Lyme Literate MD to help you.
Good luck there. Was a big lawsuit about it. Some people were crippled from the vaccine. This was in the 80s. None os us affected got anything out of it
Mountainwolf01 I had it for over 25 years all their tests in mainstream medical are only 30% accurate once it’s chronic, and I got false negatives...like every thing else. I saw a Toxicology decades later and found out I had it, bad heavy metal toxicity, & 6 confections...all from treatments & foods the FDA said was safe.
U may want to research Medical ozone. Doctors who use it says it is the best thing known for Lyme, and it’s co-infections, and it actually helps mitochondrial & immune function etc. unlike antibiotics which wreck both & cause major chronic co-infections in so many cases.
Hope this helps
Just got bit by a tick on Sunday. Felt something on my inner thigh and picked it off without thinking looked at it yesterday and found it has a black almost bruised center with a orangish-red ring around it. I'll be going to urgent care in the morning.
What was the diagnosis?
Make certain they test for Lyme and prescribe a strong, wide spectrum antibiotic 10 days to show positive in a blood test.
. 21 days with doxycyciline . Pay attention to symptoms . Google them
Sick playlist is awesome plz make more videos ....I am a medical student it's very helpful to me and for medical student .... thanks
One of the better lyme clips - all due to the infamous Doctor Stricker, someone who really knows the disease and the co- infections. I'd take his information to the bank any day especially since there's so many lyme clips that are either very incomplete or inaccurate.
The most scary thing of Lyme disease which isn’t the disease itself but the potential chronic persistence Lyme disease syndrome that can’t be detected by most common tests
Forty to 90 percent of white-footed mice carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete bacterium that causes Lyme disease, and they provide the first blood meals for blacklegged ticks, also known as deer ticks, which can transmit the disease to humans. White-footed mice are typically considered outdoor animals
Oh yes. My special interest is infectious disease. This channel has an entire series dedicated to infectious disease.

@@creativeminds2359I’m so sorry to hear that! You are not alone! I have RMSF since 2019 and have panic attacks on and off since and I have pain in my joints and bones particularly my ankle. I have adult acne and bloated up 60 pounds since. Doctors do not listen or believe me so I’m just sitting here tortured almost everyday.
I was just diagnoses and I’ve had it for 18 years. And been misdiagnoses all that time
Horrible arthritis, joint pain that is disabling and nerve damage,
And many other effects. It sucks
How many times do you test for it? I’m worried i have it. I’ve tested twice and both have come back negative. I never got a rash. But I’m having a lot of abnormal joint pain, numbness and tingling.
One of the best videos you've uploaded.
I guess it helps to get an expert talking on the topic.

It's kind of too simplified if you state the reasoning not injecting humans with the protein is because humans aren't deer. Humans aren't cows either yet one of the earliest vaccines (which was against smallpox) was derived from smallpox in cows and yes I know that vaccines and protein injection are not similar but that is not the point here, the point is here simply that explaining it in this way may leave out some essential information.
Seems like they would test the deer protein on mice, or other rodents that have Lyme. They test everything else on mice. The medical community has left so many people suffering. I contracted Lyme in 2005, and continue to have bouts of being so sick, that I can barely put one foot in front of the other. The Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University will not see patients with Lyme. They are a research hospital, so you would expect that they would be studying Lyme, and accepting Lyme patients. My PCP tried to get me in there in 2005, but they would not see me. I got home, in disbelief, and found an infectious disease doctor at MCV. I e-mailed her, and within a half-hour she answered me, and confirmed that they did not see Lyme patients. She said that Lyme disease mimics so many other diseases, and that it is called "The Great Imitator". That was my first dead-end in my fight with Lyme. I ended up seeing an infectious disease doctor, about five years into Lyme. She was very concerned and wanted to treat my with IV antibiotics. She called the CDC to make the report (as required), and they would not allow her to treat me. Come to find out, a doctor in NC who had been treating Lyme patients with IV antibiotics, lost his medical degree. It was a big deal, going through the Courts. Doctors act like they do not even want to hear the word "Lyme". I think word has gotten around about the doctor losing his license, so the medical community just sends you home. It makes me feel like I am just sitting here, waiting to die. It is so depressing, and isolating. I feel like I have the flu, without a fever. Study after study, and none of them tells anyone how to treat Lyme. It is a joke, and so frustrating. Here is this doctor stating that "humans are not deer". Thanks a lot. I would have never known. That is the exact reason why so many people are suffering. Doctors just put you off. They want to diagnose you in one minute, give you a prescription, and send you on your way. They are not educated in Lyme Disease, and make you feel like you are a hypochondriac. My last bout started in November 2019, and I have not left my house that entire time. I am so disgusted with doctors, that I no longer want to even go for my regular appointments. I go to bed at night, and pray to not wake up the next morning. Then, when I do wake up, I cry. I would not do anything to harm myself, as I know that would be a sin. I also do not want to leave that legacy to my family. So, all I have left is prayer and faith. Some days I get so mad with God. There are so many people suffering with so many dreadful diseases. I know a lot of people fight to live. I feel like I have given up. I lived a very blessed life, and feel as if I am sick now, I cannot complain. But, it is very hard to be sick everyday, and feel like there is nothing but dead ends out there. Sorry to rant on and on. I always hope that the right person will see people's struggles, and do something about it. I pray for everyone and anyone who is sick in any way.
There are books with remedies in them. You have to heal yourself.
My aunt has been dying from this disease for a long time. It's horrifying.

Too much cutting in and out from the doctor (and he should have left his glasses on). Just seemed cheap, and the background drum and symbol thing thing too. I hope this format doesn't stick.
I received the diagnosis yesterday, I am learning about it.
Thank you for sharing
What we’re your symptoms?
Hugs! I just found out today. How are you handling it?
never heard an explanation as clear as this one.
Ive had chronic Lyme disease and while I'm mostly better, I suffer from fatigue and pain in my lower legs. I take magnesium supplements but it only helps so much. My lower legs throb, especially on the weekends for some reason. Been to a ton of doctors and have had many tests run on my legs. I'm still looking for answers.
revisionfour Do you have to see a pain doctor?
@@Enigminthemist I've been to several pain doctors. I used to be on pain meds but they can be addictive and have side effects. I got a medical marijuana card and have been experimenting with cannabis for pain relief. I like taking CBD edibles which seem to help with the pain. Unfortunately though in the east coast the selection is much more limited than what's available in the West coast. I like edibles because I can control the dosage of CBD or THC that's entering my body. I have to restock and I need to find a nearby dispensary that has something that'll work for me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to fix the root cause of the reason for the pain. I believe Bartonella and Lyme have left a lasting chronic pain in my legs.
I hope you have a good LLMD (Lyme-Literate M.D.) to help you with your leg pain. I had lower leg pain & it turned out to be Bartonella....so be sure to be thoroughly checked for Lyme coinfections, too! Best wishes
Alpha lipoic acid. Sounds like you have a nerve/Lyme problem. I had the same. I take alpha lipoic acid every day. No longer have the leg problem.
My mom might have it. I’m absoltruly terrified and I hope she’ll be ok. She has a migraine so bad she almost cries.
That’s how I knew.
No mention of Wolbachi as a tick bacteria, it lives symbiotically with the common dog roundworm (known as the face parasite - it loves the human face - its cooler).
The symtoms are similar to Lyme, it can only be detected by histopathology, it's described in literature as being a potentially undetected epidemic.
I am a manager of a wildlife refuge and so do a ton of hiking. Ticks have never been this bad. Last week my dog and I had an accumulative total of 152 from a single hike. I've contracted Lyme's when I was younger, if we ever bring back the vaccine or discover a new cure or treatment please let me know. My dog is vaccinated, lucky him...
Mr438IB That would be wonderful if it was brought back.
The vaccine for dogs is garbage. Do not rely on that! (Sorry, don't shot the messenger.) My dog got full blown Lyme from the vaccine.... it is a total lie.
Apparently the vaccine for Lyme gives you Lyme
Great video. The editor had a laugh I'm sure at the scale-in cuts at 0:49. You did him wrong by starting his L3 scale in with his tongue sticking out. I lol'd tho. (The editor hid it well. Only 1 frame.)
Tick: brings this bacteria
The body: *WHAT THE FUCK*
*HAVE YOU BROUGHT UPPON* *THIS CURSED LAND*
I just discovered this cuz of avril and now I’m terrified. When I was younger, it may sound gross (it’s the norm though), my grandma used to pick the ticks from cows/dogs and squish them with her nails.
I’m gobsmacked with how serious it would’ve been if she, my siblings, or me got bitten😮

@grunyitmacquethal5519Never treated the dog?
This is probably far too simple, but if the bacteria isn’t doing anything in our bodies, then would it not be possible to have our bodies accept it instead of constantly lose a battle fighting it? I’m not aware of such a technique in medicine but it strikes me as a more logical approach, if it’s possible. This is what zero hours of medical study looks like 🥲
I have had lyme disease for two years and the symptoms list is way longer lol. Read the book bitten please
How are you now ?
It damages our mental health and they didn’t say shyt about it. 4 years ago I was diagnosed with rmsf
"Because humans aren't deer"
So what is the cure (or relief) for chronic lyme ?
In Arizona, we don't get as much Lyme disease apart from a few cases in the extreme north part of the state, but Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is definitely a thing here, especially in the American Indian reservations and near the US-Mexico border.
Maybe we should do more episodes on tickborne diseases?
Deer ticks like to munch on horses as well. And I know wild horses still run Arizona. Have you seen the ones at Pleasant Lake?
@@Seeker That would be neat! My Master's thesis project was on Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and the brown dog ticks in Arizona. I'd love to share some info if you're interested!
Lyme Disease is PANDEMIC. Lyme Disease is rampant in every U.S. state, in every country. There is just as much Lyme in Arizona as there is in Long Island, NY, as there is in Rhode Island.... people suffering from it are often told that "It's growing pains", "It's just a little fatigue", "It's probably just not enough sleep", "You're probably just overworked", "It's arthritis", "It's all in your head", etc., ad nauseum. OR, they drop dead, are chronically ill/ misdiagnosed, hopefully minimally ill, just 'living with it', or seeking a 'rea'l diagnosis. The media never covers these patients, especially the dead ones who just die off.... Do not kid yourself...it is EVERYwhere there are animals and life.... and has been for thousands of years. Only now, "Lyme" is a massive cocktail of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogen-yuck...which no one test can possibly uncover. A patient would need to be checked for; Cytomegalovirus; Anaplasmosis; Bartonella; Babesia; Lyme Disease; Complete Blood Workup --all by a Lyme Literate MD, etc., etc., etc... in order to rule out "Lyme Disease". Where there are humans there is garbage. Where there is garbage there are mice and rats and birds and cats and dogs and deer and other life and.....ticks. You would need to be in an airtight, lifeless bubble to be in an area that does not have much Lyme! LOL. Birds are often covered with ticks. The ticks fly with the birds- around the world ...or back...or are dropped off right in your yard. Next time you are outside, look for a bird. If you see a bird, you have ticks and Lyme Disease where you live. Honest.
Moral of the Video:
"Humans are not fu*king Deer"
but but, what if a human identifies as a deer. Would that work?
Oh dear.
Im sick all the time so im super paranoid
Screw sickness
I agree! However, if you suspect mold or Lyme, get tested!!! I’ve had it all starting with getting breast implants 19 years ago. It took 12 years to find out about the illnesses they can cause, and by that time I had to retire from my teaching job because I couldn’t think clearly, lost friends and family, a 20 year relationship, tons of money, etc., all because no one knew and thought I was on drugs.
I’ve been susceptible to everything since then.
I am no doctor or scientist but I have read that lyme disease are not just bacterial infection. Lyme disease gives you TBE viral infection too. And another artical wrote that person can get fungal infection as well. You must take antiviral and antifungal medicine too, to get rid of your symptoms. That why inflammation persist in persons body after antibiotic treatment.
I am no doctor, either, but I sure feel more informed than most doctors, LOL!.....Yes, Lyme Disease is like a biowarfare viral/bacterial soup! Also, the coinfections that go along with Lyme Disease are plentiful and hard to spell: Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia/Anaplasmosis, Cytomeglomeglovirus..and there's always Thrush from antibiotics, Q Fever, Tularemia, Mycoplasma, Powassan Virus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever ("Rickettsia Rickettsii"), "Tickborne Relapsing Fever", Rickettsia Helvetica, Rickettsia Parkerii or Rickettsii Philipii, etc., etc..AND MORE. There are many pathogens in this one "Lyme Disease" that must all be diagnosed and treated appropriately. I tested positive for Bartonella, Babesia, Cytomegalovirus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever & Lyme Disease....while my mother tested positive for Ehrlichia & Lyme Disease. My father died from Powassan fever and Lyme Disease & we did not get a chance to test him for anything else before he passed, unfortunately. My sibling tested extremely high positive for Bartonella and Lyme and died from complications. On a more upbeat note, I find that not eating gluten, sugar, meat & dairy was helpful in my recovery and DEFINITELY continues to be helpful in making me feel better. Oh, and I got Alpha Gal from one Lone Star tick bite, so I am allergic to meat, which is not a big deal for me, a vegetarian.... but I have to be REALLY careful about eating out....as most foods are often cooked together & if my food was cooked with meat, my body turns all red and blotchy and I look like I'm a cooked lobster that's about to explode...much drama, but luckily, I haven't had breathing complications...but I do carry an Epi Pen, just in case. Inflammation IS the bottom line with Lyme! YES! Eating Alkaline is key. Best wishes.
I am very sorry for what you and your family have gone through. I think the best treatment to get better is antiviral medicine like Ganciclovir IV, Forscanet IV and fungal infection medicine like Amphotericin IV.
Real time qPCR is the best diagnostic tool along with lumbar puncture I think right now.
So my own body almost killed me? That's really fascinating.
I like this format for seeker videos vs the old style
Like this is a pretty serious topic to me because I got bitten by my first tick and it tested positive for lyme diseases.

I just got tested even though, I didn’t have bull’s-eye and minor version of the symptoms. My doctor was even like I don’t think you have it but we’ll see when the results come back. Turns out I’m positive, and starting on antibiotics today. So when In doubt pay the 25 dollors copay and get tested.

i've been exposed to lyme at least 4 times here in NH....yes, you can get reinfected with Lyme....seen it in myself and dogs
Did he fully recover?
Humans aren't deer? No way! Never would've guessed. Does the protein only work with deer immune system or would the protein have negative side effects in humans. What is the mechanism of action of this protein?

This was a possible rumor going around.... one would have to ingest an impossibly toxic amount of antihistamine for it to matter with Lyme Disease. However, some people with Lyme Disease may find it helpful, for whatever reason. It is not a Lyme cure, unfortunately.
This video is a good reason to assure that humans aren't deers.
My cousin has Lyme Disease. She's got a blog about it but she's so busy that I don't know that she keeps it up to date.
Coffeyville Science Girl If she still blogs can post it somewhere? I sure there are many people out there that need support from someone that walks the walk and talks the talk.
That bottom line though xD I lol'd
Avril Lavigne has it.
Had it she survived
@@kristopherjones7997 , Lyme Disease simply goes into remission. Avril Lavine and Everyone who has Lyme Disease will ALWAYS have Lyme. Sorry.
She's lucky that she has millions to treat it because insurance often won't cover it.
As a child, between 5 and 7, I was always fooling around in my grandparents garden. Playing with muck, exploring trees, getting dirty, stirring up ants nests and so on. Every little bug was something wonderful. During the summer when I wanted to play in the high grass or in the more “wild” part of the huge garden I was made to wear long trousers and have my socks put over the underside of the pants. Off course I was also constant surrounded by the neighbourhoods cats, which were mostly carrying ticks and or flees. (I fed them my sandwich 😉)This was in the 70 ‘s so people didn’t have much to get the vermin off their pets. My granny used some kind of powder and put a flee collar on our cats but they still came home with ticks.. My parents and grandparents were so cautious in making me wear clothing that was mostly tick proof. As a child can you imagine wearing pants and socks and boots if it is really warm? Well I couldn’t either. Once I was out off sight, off came the clothes. Running around barefoot in my undies and t-shirt was a lot cooler but I got a lot of ticks stuck to my body... it was so bad that I was forbidden to go out playing without adult supervision. My poor parents had to go so many times with me to the doctor... Luckily I never got infected.
I was just thinking....maybe your grandmother used Seven dust or "Diatomaceous Earth" (DE) on the ground and/or kitties... I often use food-grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) for many things...on the ground, my dogs like to sunbathe on....in garden, etc...you can even eat it..DE controls fleas, ticks, mites, ants....DE fertilizes soil, deodorizes the kitty litter box....kills worms & parasites...makes a fabulous facial scrub, etc... Anyway, I am so very impressed... Your parents were absolutely brilliant & vastly ahead of their time! You are SO LUCKY!!!!! I am so very happy that you did not get this dreadful plague. It is truly awful & I love your parents for taking such good care of you!!!! P.S. Tuck your pant legs in your knee socks! LOL, it works!
@@yaelwolfsong4616 Thanks for mentioning diatomaceous earth. Question: have you ever fed it to your dogs (small doses??) for worming them intestinally? Thanks for sharing!
well the same concept goes for producing anti-venom, if deer blood can create the anti-bacteria protein then sure enough it can put into use
“ humans are not deer”
I disagree with this info . As damaged cells have been observed when inhabited by Borrelia as Lyme sprachetes can enter the human cell!
Anyone else started rapidly itching and frantically searching for any tick bites?
God I love England. No dangerous animals, no weird diseases, no earthquakes or hurricanes and shit. Feels gooood.
Until you get Lymes Disease from walking your dog in the forest of course
@@SmR8008 Iv never heard of anyone getting Lyme disease in britain
Do you have any forests in UK though?
M 27 No it’s a desert. Like duh
@@thecasualfront7432 Great. I like desserts. Especially ones with chocolate.
Is the disease deadly?. And is there a rlly high change you can get it?
Yes
Humans aren't deer but understanding how the protein in deer actually kill the bacteria would certainly seem helpful in coming up with treatment or vaccines
You would think this would be studied like....many, many decades ago. Hmmm.... Meanwhile the Centers for Disease Control people would be placing their own personal patents on that, too...just like they did on the phony "Lyme vaccines" they injured so many people and pets with, and continue to lie about. Watch the movies "Under Our Skin" and the sequel "Under Our Skin 2: Emergence". Knowledge really is power!
Nice vibes from the background music ;)
We were trying to drum up some interest
Put that deer killing stuff in a pill and let that loose in a human body. C'MON SHELLY!
God keep my... Head Above Water...

What is this editing style à la Vox?
Did you know Borelia is found in over 80 coumtries worldwide including South Africa!!!
If deer have proteins in their body that kills Lyme, why do ticks contract it from the deer only to go on and spread it around?
I was bit by a tick in Maine in July 2016. Sent the tick in for testing and it had Lyme. 3 years later I seem fine and the test I had for Lyme came back negative so thank goodness for that. Lyme can be a nightmare.
Lyme Disease can go into remission, and that's a great place for it to be! I find that a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet helps keep my Lyme symptoms minimal. Also exercise, when I'm able. Do whatever works for you!!
Its sad that a real doctor now has to address himself as a medical doctor.
I need more of this
Come back next week! And the week after...and the week after...and the
