 | When diet is wrong medicine is of no use. When diet is correct medicine is of no need. 
   Diet is the key to success or failure when it comes to Lyme disease. 
Let's start at the beginning:   Our human body will overcome just about any virus if it were  supplied with the right diet. The Human body is the most amazing thing on the  planet; it's your best defense against a Lyme attack or any virus for that  matter. What most of us do not know about our digestive system is this little  fact. Our bodies only receive 3% of the nutrients of the food we consume. Our  human body was not designed to eat or consume cooked food. It was designed to  eat raw fruits and vegetables and drink water……that's it! We don't follow that  diet so well do we? The Human Form has only changed 0.02% in 40,000 years. But look  how our daily diet is nothing like our ancestors diet.  The best way to beat Lyme disease in my opinion is to Juice your fruits  and vegetables and add herbal powders to your drink daily, it's that simple.
  Why juice you ask?
 
 Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the fruits and vegetables. 97%  to be exact. Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of fruits and  vegetables in an efficient manner. You can add a wider variety of fruits and  vegetables in your diet.
 
 Here is the problem with juicing: IT TASTES TERRIBLE!!!
  Making smoothies gives you an  even better result than juicing because you can still liquefy your diet but a  smoothie allows for even more ingredients that you could never put in a juicer.  Like Flax Seed, Honey, Yogurt, Milk, Oatmeal, nuts, and of course your herbal  powders Say Goodbye to Fatigue, Say goodbye to aches and pains, say goodbye bad  vision, say goodbye to that brain fog, Say goodbye to all that crap it's GONE. 
 Below I will share with you some basic background info of nutrition that may be  helpful to Lyme suffers.
 There are MANY diet restrictions- while recovering from Lyme  imposed by MDs familiar with the disease. One MUST review these restrictions  with health professional familiar with them. In general, you need to avoid all  excessive table sugars, desserts, sweet drinks, etc., though limited amounts of  things like honey can be OK, if used with meals. The yeast diet restriction is  real, as you can have your intestinal flora drift out of whack when you are on  antibiotics.   Cellular communication is literally  the single most important concept in nutrition, and when we support this  communication process we are empowering every single cell and every single part  of the body to function the way it is supposed to. Sugars are now known to be  the actual communicators between the cells in the body. It was long thought  that the proteins that form on each cell were the communicators but this has  proven to be wrong. If the cells do not have the correct sugars they will be  unable to send the proper messages of what their needs are. If this  communication is interrupted for too long the cell will die and if these sugars  are missing in a large number of related cells then its tissue will die as  well.  THE BIGGEST MISUNDERSTANDING WITH  PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM LYME IS SUGAR VS LYME
 Sugar  is a no - no yes that’s true BUT what Type of sugar?Glucose, fucose Galactose, Manose is  it Fucose maybe just maybe xyloseYou don’t know, all you know is  sugar is a no-no
 So for example is kelp a bad food  source for Lyme?
 Let’s see….
 KELP: Dr. D.C. Jarvis, author of Folk  Medicine (Galahad, 1996), points out that the composition of the  human body and of seawater are the same. It's only practical, he suggests, that  we should turn to the sea to supplement our mineral needs.
 And to a certain extent we do—whenever we eat  saltwater fish and other ocean-grown foods. Even so, we can effectively step up  the health benefits provided by the ocean by taking a daily kelp tablet  (available in health food stores and some drugstores). Dr. Jarvis, who  practiced medicine well into his 80s, called this "a simple, effective  means of avoiding the mineral deficiency conditions which appear in the human  body when we eat only land-grown foods, which are all too often grown in  mineral-starved soil."
 Kelp is a major source of iodine—a necessary  mineral in our bodies. The thyroid gland, for example, needs iodine to do its  work properly. Yet most of us are iodine deficient.
  
 OK so  kelp sounds good  its off the charts good for minerals especially Iodine.HEY wait a minute kelp breaks down into 3 different  types of SUGAR ……What????
 So if we go with the concept sugar is a NO -NO we would  have to eliminate kelp….
 White table sugar is a NO NO this is  true but not kelp
 If cells communicate with sugar and protein and there are  8 different types of sugar on the planet one of them is a no-no for lyme  then wouldn’t it just make common sence to  put  those food sources that the body  breaks down into those 8 sugars with some protein powders or foods that are  rich in proteins like spirulina in a blender with some herbs and some fruits  and veggies.
 Well that’s what I did and I found those food sources  that help the cells communicate with other cells better than ever before and  when I did that I never returned to antibiotics.
 By body just worked better my asthma disappeared my joint  pain gone my brain fog significantly better. My fatigue all gone. My lyme  symptoms started to just go away.
 Sugar is a NO-NO …..SUGAR IS A HELL YES!!!!My  complete list  of the eight sugars.
 Kelp Powder
 
 Aloe vera powder
 
 Shark cartilage powder
 
 Psyllium Seed powder
 
 Fenugreek powder
 
 Shitake mushroom powder
 
 Whey Protein Isolate
 
 Those breakdown into the 8 sugars found on the planet
 
 They call them Glyconutrients
 
 They are really monosaccharides
 
 
 The sugars I found to feed lyme SYMPTOMS are  complex carbohydrates and good old fashioned white table sugar and of  course  the evil of all evils high  fructose corn syrup.
 LYME DOES NOT FEED OFF OF SUGARIn the 1930s, researchers discovered that our bodies  require small amounts of dietary manganese each day. Since then, it has been  determined that each adult has about 5-20 mg of manganese stored in his or her  body.It feeds off of MANGANESE
 Risk of Dietary Deficiency  Typical non-vegetarian diets contain about 2  to 7 mg of manganese daily. Vegetarians tend to have more manganese and can  approach 10 or more mg daily. As reflected in the Food Source section, both  dietary patterns should be able to pass the 2 mg per day Daily Value (DV)  recommendation. The symptoms of dietary deficiency of  manganese are itchy skin rash and low blood cholesterol levels. In animal  research, diets containing almost no manganese can also lead to abnormal blood  sugar control and abnormal bone development.
 When we are low in manganese which helps  regulate blood sugar control the lyme will then “feel like its feeding off of  sugar” it may or not be but if it feels like it then its hard to say its not.
 So now the next logical thing is STOP feeding  the Lyme…..OK hows that going for ya  the  Lyme will feed off of you and you will be weak, have brittle bones, bad hair,  fatigue all of the symptoms of having LOW MANGANESE or manganese deficiency.
 
  When I found out  that Lyme feeds off of manganese I  immediately panicked and said lets starve the Lyme then I looked at my smoothie  herbal protocol and I found I simply couldn’t be eating more manganese. So I am  fine running 3 miles  a day fine and I eat a ton of manganese   I had no idea that I was doing that BUT THE BODY KNOWS WHAT IT NEEDS now  what if listened to some stupid person like a sugar nut job don’t feed it sugar  and don’t feed it what it wants better to starve it. Go all gluten go allllll  these things don’t eat anything except proboitics.
 I don’t listen to people I listen to my body.
 NOW here comes the fun Part
 
 Pumpkin seeds are 73.5% manganese
 
 Pumpkin seeds are a parasite killer
 
 Lyme feeds off of manganese.
 
 Lyme feeds off of pumpkin seeds and  the pumpkin seeds kill it
 
 So I put Pumpkin Seed Powder in my smoothie and I buy a herbal blend that  has a bunch of other cool herbs as well pumpkin seed being just one of the  parasite killers.
 The real reason we feed it manganese, because if Lyme leaves you alone and  it’s  happy  you will be symptom free.
 Its like giving the baby the pacifier.
 
 Manganese: World's Healthiest Foods rich in manganeseCloves 126.4%Oats 96%

 Garbanzo Beans 84.5%
 Spinach 84%
 Pineapple 76.5%
 Pumpkin Seeds 73.5%

 So in an example this is what my daily  smoothie could look like
 
 Spinach
 Yogurt
 Coconut milk
 Pineapples
 Banana
 Apples
 Hemp protein powder
 Oat meal
 And these herbal powders a little  under a teaspoon all mix up together
 
 All in powder form
 
 Kelp, Aloe Vera , Fenugreek, Reishi Mushroom  Powder, Whey Protein Isolate, Ginkgo, Psyllium Husk powder, Pau d’ arco, Olive  Leaf, Wheat Grass,  Spirulina,  Fo-ti Root, Gota Kola, Chlorella, Cat’s  Claw,  Echinacea Angustifolia,  Turmeric  powder, Maca root, Sarsaparilla  root, Eleuthero Root powder, Schisandra Berry  powder.  Marshmallow Root Powder,  Slippery Elm Bark, Fennel Seed Powder, White Oak bark Powder, Nettle Leaf,   pumpkin seed, Gwmnema Sylvestris,  Reserveratrol Ext., Cacao Berry powder, Gogi Berry powder, Chia seed, Flax  seed, Black Walnut Hull.
 
 I  have about three maybe four different types of mixes I use.
 
 
   Some for energy some for parasites some for balance  you can not take the same herbs over and over that isn’t safe so you have to  mix and match as you go. I always take a break usually a week or so but I still  will do some sort of NEW herb while I am cleaning out my system of the old  herbs.  In total money wise you can buy a good herbal bundle  for 40 bucks I buy mine by the pound and I mix what I need according to what my  body says.  Since I take a hint it will  last me just about a year and we are talking somewhere in the neighborhood of  $400-$600 per year. For some that’s a drop in the bucket for some it’s just not  possible. Basically we are talking about $50 bucks a month. So when you say it  like that….That’s why doctors will NEVER be into this type of medicine. There  is no money in it.
  Now the food is very expensive the smoothies and the  fruit the FOODS THAT HEAL are costly but ya gotta eat.  So it’s an increase of about 25% cost  wise.
  There is a HUGE difference between Diets that heal and  diets that are good for you. Everybody for the most part thinks they eat  good.........If your still sick you need a diet that heals ......not a diet  that is good for you.
 Potassium is an essential nutrient used  to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. A deficiency in  potassium causes fatigue, irritability, and hypertension (increased blood  pressure).
   WaterDrinking enough water each day can help you maintain a healthy  lymphatic system. The lymphatic system requires a sufficient supply of liquids  to function at its optimum level. You should drink a minimum of eight glasses  per day for good health.  Essential Fatty AcidsA healthy, properly functioning  lymphatic system requires an adequate intake of healthy fats. Good sources of  healthy fats include nuts and seeds, such as flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds  and walnuts. Other good sources include avocados and fatty fish, such as  salmon, rainbow trout and sardines.
 Foods that treat inflammation:
 
 Broccoli
 Walnuts
 Garlic
 Pineapple
 Spinach
 Ginger & Turmeric
 Salmon
 Oranges, grapefruit, lemon, and limes
 Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and blackberries
 Carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes
 
 Example of my daily diet plan
 • 1/2 cup raspberries
 • 1/2 cup strawberries
 • 1/2 cup blueberries
 • 1 cup 2% milk /almond/coconut/soy/yogurt
 • 1 cup apple juice (unsweetened) or one raw apple, banana or orange
 • 2 cups ice / 2 tablespoons Aloe Vera Juice
 • 1 small carrot
 • Herbal powders that kill remove heal protect and build strong
 
 That's just a simple example of the smoothies I make daily, if you add this  regiment to your daily routine and drop a teaspoon of  some herbs   into a smoothie
Say good  Bye to FatigueSay Goodbye to Chronic Lyme Disease
 Say goodbye to Joint pain
 Say Goodbye to brain Fog
 Say goodbye to depression
 Say  hello to Life
 
 Why do we have to boost the metabolism and/or feed our systems  larger-than-normal amounts of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc?
 CANDIDA Because, it would  seem, we're compensating for a leaky gut. Despite the research which shows that  increased intestinal permeability problems are the cause of or complicates the  lives of people with asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS, or AIDS, and Lyme. Any one of the following can cause a leaky gut:
 
 • Antibiotics because they lead to the overgrowth of abnormal flora in the  gastrointestinal tract (bacteria, parasites, candida, fungi)
 • Alcohol and caffeine (strong gut irritants)
 • Foods and beverages contaminated by parasites like Giardia lamblia,  Cryptosporidium, Blastocystis hominis and others
 • Foods and beverages contaminated by bacteria like Helicobacter pylori,  Klebsiella, citrobacter, Pseudomonas and others
 • Chemicals in fermented and processed food (dyes, preservatives, peroxidized  fats)
 • Enzyme deficiencies (e.g. celiac disease, lactase deficiency causing lactose  intolerance)
 • NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ASA, ibuprofen,  indomethacin, etc.
 • Prescription corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone)
 • High refined carbohydrate diet (e.g. candy bars, cookies, cake, soft drinks,  white bread)
 • Prescription hormones like the birth control pill
 • Mold and fungal mycotoxins in stored grains, fruit and refined carbohydrates
 
 
  Leaky gut syndrome (CANDIDA) also creates a long list of mineral deficiencies  because the various carrier proteins present in the gastrointestinal tract that  are needed to transport minerals from the intestine to the blood are damaged by  the inflammation process. For example, magnesium deficiency (low red blood cell  magnesium) is quite a common finding in conditions like fibro despite a high  magnesium intake through the diet and supplementation. If the carrier protein  for magnesium is damaged, magnesium deficiency develops as a result of  malabsorption. Muscle pain and spasms can occur as a result. Similarly, zinc  deficiency due to malabsorption can result in hair loss or baldness as occurs  in alopecia areata. Copper deficiency can occur in an identical way leading to  high blood cholesterol levels and osteoarthritis. Further, bone problems  develop as a result of the malabsorption of calcium, boron, silicon and  manganese. (from the web page of Dr. Zoltan Rona, Toronto, Ontario). 
 Candida in my opinion is a nightmare even  worse than Lyme sometimes.
 If you have taken  antibiotics for over month or a large dose for a short time it’s a great chance  even to the point of you most certainly  have Candida.
 Candida feels just  like Lyme and most doctors have no idea what candida is and how it works  because Candida is controlled and reversed by NUTRITION and that alone is what  works the best. Foods that heal not drugs that have crazy symptoms if you’re  going to the doctor for Candida you maybe throwing gas on the fire. I say that  because only 6% of the doctors in the USA have taken a course on  nutrition. 
A person who studied nutrition and has a degree in  nutrition understands Candida. Most   doctors for the most part will treat a yeast infection.
