Article 1: Lyme disease diet- How to heal with nutrition
Lyme disease diet is an important contributing factor to heal from Lyme disease, at any age
of your life, if unfortunately you or a loved one happens to develop it. First of all, you need to
know what Lyme disease actually is, how it is caused and what signs and symptoms you can
expect from it.
Lyme disease is a disease transmitted to humans by the bites of ticks. Bacteria of the group
Borrelia are transmitted to the humans as a result of bites by ticks infected with them (Lantos,
2015). Once inside the human circulation, these bacteria multiply to produce Lyme disease
which may manifest as a red wheal on the site of bite, fever and chills, chronic fatigue for an
extended duration and joint pains. However, in many cases, the infection is symptomless for a
period of time before it starts producing symptoms and complaints by those affected (Biesiada,
2012).
Lyme’s disease is diagnosed by the doctor on a history of tick bite and clinical evaluation of the
signs and symptoms. Some blood tests also aid in diagnosing the condition. Once diagnosed, the
next step is to undertake a treatment plan which can alleviate suffering and heal the body back to
its normal function. Healing Lyme disease with nutrition and by a holistic approach is something
which is gaining popularity as well as acceptability due to the multiple benefits it entails. Herbs
for Lyme disease are also gaining popularity because of their excellent response in combatting
Lyme’s disease.
