What are the best treatments for Lyme Disease?

With proper diagnosis of my symptoms from my Lyme Disease specialist ( ILADS ), my treatment has varied throughout these 10 years. So far some include include many combinations of antibiotics, probiotics and anti parasitic medications that work synergistically to eradicate the many different organisms associated with tick born illnesses.

antibiotics, herbals such as vitamins

Antibiotics, or IV antibiotics.

I believe the first thing to tackle is our mental outlook. So much propaganda that tells us that Lyme has stolen our lives. It hasn't. It has altered things, yes, but it is imperative that we create lives we love sick or well. Then I believe healing can begin. I am not a fan of long term antibiotics. I think it is a way of treating Lyme patients that has been proven to not be effective yet we are stuck in that "throw antibiotics at it" mentality and can't seem to get out. Too much research shows they do not really do the job well.

Multiple antibiotics, biofilm breakers targeting all forms of the disease and any known co infections

5/12/17 by Lorraine 1001

That is different per person. A tailor-made treatment is the best. Some patients get better from long-term antibiotics, stem cell therapy and other patients from natural treatments. One of the important things is to support organs and to shorten vitamins and minerals.

It is hard to say. I have been using oral and IV antibiotics. While I am better than I was, I am not where I need to be.

Avoid antibiotics and narcotic pain medications. A sterile body is not the goal with treatment. Support your immune system and you can live with this disease.

This is difficult to answer. In the early stages antibiotics can stop the progression of the disease. Latrr on, although some do very well with long term antibiotics, combined and pulsed, some do not and may find one of the several herbal protocols more helpful.

8/30/17 by Alex 600

Certainly in its early stages, antibiotics (usually doxycycline) can be very beneficial, as is building/supporting the immune system. There are several reliable protocols (Cowden is arguably the best known). All methods for some people but none works for all patients. Some others to investigate are herbal (i.e. cat's claw, samento), bee venom, CBD oil, etc.

Infrared Sauna and essential oils helped me the most

8/31/17 by Susan 800

Full body hyperthermia (to 42.5 Celsius, while unconscious), detoxing, ensuring no heavy metals or parasites

9/12/17 by Sheri 1100

This is such a difficult question to answer because everybody responds differently to treatments and are at different stages of illness. For me the best the treatment was IV antibiotics and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I did not make progress until after six months of these treatments.

9/15/17 by Marty 300

I have found that antibiotics are really effective, especially when administered IV or IM. There are a lot of drawbacks to antibiotics, because they are very strong and come with a lot of side effects. I have had a lot of luck with herbal protocols too. There are a lot of treatment options out there, and something that is really effective may not work for everyone.

antibiotics rest and time

9/28/17 by alan 200

Doxicyclen is best if you do 4 days of treatment and 3.days off and then reverse it

9/28/17 by Darren 400

In the short term, I would not advise against antibiotics but the doctors I worked with (and had the best results with) have found that they are contraindicated for Lyme. This is medical heresy in the current western medical paradigm.

9/28/17 by 300

there is no one size fits all. following the diet strictly, staying on your medications and sacrificing in the short term for the long term benefits is good. pacing yourself.

9/29/17 by Sarah 2550

Antibiotics combination specific to infection some believe pulsed for at least 6 or longer

9/29/17 by Katrina 2000

Diet, Electro Magnetic Frequency, Holistic Remedies for Chronic Lyme. Antibiotics for Acute Lyme.

10/1/17 by Sonya 2000

There is a difference with acute bite and with chronic Lyme disease. When in acutr stage, 2 months of abx treatment should be enough but when in chronic the combination od antibiotics os needed for a much longer period of times. Maybe even years. When symptoms start desappearing continue with herbal protocools.

10/9/17 by Jessie 1600

Antibiotics, pulsing of antibiotics there are several detox methods as well

10/25/17 by Andrea 2120

The only western medicine treatment for Lyme disease is for ACUTE Lyme disease. The patient would be given 3 weeks of antibiotics if they have been bitten by a tick recently and knew it (bulls eye rash, for example). This would cure them of Lyme disease. There is NO treatment in western medicine (besides antibiotics, which have been proven to not work for chronic Lyme disease) and there is no cure. Many people die from chronic Lyme disease.

I personally went in remission with Picc line IV antibiotics. I think everyone should do this with some herbals. Too many herbals with antibiotics will overload your liver so please be taking milk thistle daily. After the one year or so you will need on any treatment this one has had the most success with remission. However, with all the destruction it causes between gums, muscles, bones etc I personally think if you can afford it do hyperthermia or more importantly embryonic stem cell

3/9/18 by Niki 8100

Currently, although there hasn’t been many recent studies, the ones that do exist still show antibiotics with some herbals to get the most people is remission. Personally, I’d say yes and hyperthermia treatment and embryonic stem cells. However, those haven’t many studies I’m going off success rates I personally pay attention to.

3/14/18 by Nikolettie 2700

The best treatments for Lyme disease depend entirely on when you were bit. If it was a new bite and you are symptomatic then drs recommendation of antibiotics are needed. Old lyme untreated is a far different animal and needs to be treated as nessisary. The immune system needs to be stronger than it and needs to be monitored closely by a doctor who knows and understands lyme and will make sure that your organs do not get attacked by this disease and will treat as needed.

5/26/18 by Bethany Wing 2100

There are a few ways to treat Lyme. Some strictly use antibiotics, others use herbal remedies. A combination seems to work the best, as well as adding alternative therapies like HBOT, ozone, hyperthermia, massage, colonics, acupuncture, etc. Restricting diet: no dairy, no grains, no gluten, no soy, no sugar, no GMO Detoxing is extremely important.

Antibiotics, supplementation, diet, detox (infrared sauna, Epsom salts etc), other options (LDN, Disulfiram, stem cells, immunoglobulins etc)

Make right now are antibiotics and food supplements to strengthen the immune system. When taking antibiotics we need to strengthen our good bacteria, so you have to take lactobasilios and a diet based on protein. Coconut oil is a good supplement

Treatment with antibiotics such as doxycycline, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, bactrim, rifampin, azithromycin, penicillin, etc It is important to combine them properly to avoid bacterial resistance and to attack all forms of the bacteria.

I can only speak from my experience. I tried in many occasions the symptoms with natural medicine and homeopathy before you have a diagnosis, and though I found improvement continued to be very sick. Since two years ago I was treated with Dr. Kenny De Meirleir, who makes me a follow-up and specific treatment every two months with antibiotics, probiotics, supplements, and vitamins. Since then I have gotten a great improvement, as never before. Although I am still not completely cured, I believe it is in the conjunction of both medications where you will find the solution, but above all the most important thing is being treated by a medical specialist.

Antibiotics such as doxyciclina for the early stages of the disease. The treatment is much more difficult to apply in patients with chronic Lyme disease.
