Lyme Disease Cure? Medicinal Mushrooms for Broad Spectrum Healing

Lyme Disease Cure? Medicinal Mushrooms for Broad Spectrum Healing AUTHOR SHARON CORNET medicinal mushrooms may help with lyme disease Lyme disease is named after Old Lyme, Connecticut where this malady was identified back in the 1970’s, but it is also found in parts of Austalia and Eurasia. It comes from infected ticks, which if the tick stays in the body too long (pinhead-sized ones may be undetectable) can produce the disease, which worsens over time. However, although no known cure is known to medical science, there are some people who have claimed to have cured their Lyme disease through a series of different alternative therapies, healthy lifestyle, and by eating or taking medicinal mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake, reishi, Lion’s mane, cordyceps, turkey tail, agarikon, or other mushrooms. Medicinal mushrooms have beta-glucan insoluble fiber, which is a polysaccharide that stimulates the body’s immune system up to 10 times over. Furthermore, medicinal mushrooms have some amazing constituents that bring health benefits in a broad spectrum, such as antioxidant activity, antiviral, antibacterial, memory enhancing, neurological benefits, to name a few. Lyme disease is caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, which comes from ticks of the genus Ixodes and is carried into into—and lives in—the blood system. People do not always remember the bite, nor do they usually save the tick so I can be analyzed in a lab for testing to see if it is infected. Lyme disease and medicinal mushrooms Lyme disease will often start with symptoms like headaches, chills, fever, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and a skin rash. It is impossible to culture the bacteria so testing in the lab is not reliable (up to 80% inaccurate) to establish a diagnosis. Even 40% of those with early stage Lyme disease do not develop the characteristic rash. Sometimes symptoms can be mild enough that it may be confused as the flu. Early stages are often treated with 20 days of antibiotics, but some courses have gone up to 90 days without having any effect on the disease or symptoms. Long term use of antibiotics may not be healthy for the body, and the FDA approved vaccine is also not perfected. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause: Joint pain crippling arthritis severe heart disease erythema migrans (red skin lesions) major neurological problems (palsies) memory loss loss of mental clarity depression Some of the issues, besides the above, which need to be addressed, include the digestive system (enzymes), and tissue and joint inflammation. A healthy diet (raw vegan is especially beneficial), multivitamins, essential fatty acids, exercise, and herbal and other supplements that support the adrenal and thyroid hormone levels and build the immune system can all support healing for Lyme disease. Medicinal mushrooms help heal issues such as neurodegenerative disorders, are anti-inflammatory, help with arthritis, cardiovascular health, are immunostimulating, help skin issues, memory and cognition improvement, are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and have anti-cancer and anti-tumor constituents. Because of the anti-bacterial nature of mushrooms, and the fact that Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection, it may serve people better if antibiotics are not working.
