LYME BORRELIOSIS
PILOT STUDY

Neuropathy Symptoms
About 3 days before week 8 evaluation, several
patients ran out of 2 homeopathic detox remedies
and stopped improving because of Herx
reactions.

Herxheimer Reaction Or Healing-Crisis Reaction
The die-off of toxin-producing micro- organisms
releases toxins into the body and as one takes
treatment to get better, they feel temporarily
worse. This was described first by the German
physician Karl Herxheimer.

Impact of the StudyPatients Perspective
I just wish all Lyme disease sufferers were able
to access this kind of treatment MaybeSomeday
T.H. Ive tried a few things at a time that
had some limited benefits. I think what made
this treatment work was that it simultaneously
addressed all my problems and it was so
comprehensive. J.M. I feel better than I have
in 25 years. K.U. I am doing things that I
havent been able to do in years. D.M. It
wasnt easy, but it was worth it!.
T.G. Conclusion Integrative Natural Medicine
can make a difference in patients with advanced
Lyme Borreliosis given no hope by conventional
medical doctors.
