350: Treating Lyme Disease Holistically: Expert Q+A
Ancient Health Podcast
Deep Dive
What are the most common emotions linked to Lyme disease that prevent people from getting better?
Common emotions include anger, frustration, fear, dread, feeling stuck, chronic worry, and low self-worth. These emotions are linked to organ infections in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, where sick organs express negative emotions.
Why does Lyme disease cause anger and frustration?
Lyme disease infects the liver and gallbladder, disrupting methylation and detoxification processes. This leads to dirty blood circulating through the body, causing heart palpitations and brain fog. The brain, receiving dirty blood, reacts with anger and frustration.
How does Lyme disease affect the kidneys and create a sense of being stuck?
Lyme disease can infect the kidneys, causing inflammation and toxicity. This affects the hip flexors, which help with forward movement. When the kidneys are sick, it can psychologically create a sense of being stuck or unable to move forward in life.
What emotional techniques can help with Lyme disease?
Techniques include Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), EFT tapping, and neurofeedback. These methods help release emotions and improve brain communication, which can aid in healing from Lyme disease.
How can diet and herbs help with the ups and downs of Lyme disease treatment?
An anti-inflammatory diet with low sugars and specific herbs like Cat's Claw, Japanese Knotweed, and Cryptolepis can help balance the digestive system, reducing symptoms and improving emotional well-being during treatment.
Does autophagy help with Lyme disease?
Yes, autophagy, a cellular recycling process activated during fasting, can help clean out Lyme toxins within cells. However, it should be used cautiously, especially for those who are underweight or nutrient-deficient.
What are some healing modalities recommended for Lyme disease?
Herbs like Japanese Knotweed and Cat's Claw, homeopathics, microcurrent technology, red light therapy, and acupuncture are recommended. These modalities help cleanse the body of infections and support overall healing.
