diet, and/or environmental toxins (e.g., glyphosate, heavy metals) compromises the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT).
Over 70% of immune function resides in the gut creating conditions where infections persist and autoimmunity originates.
Supporting terrain integrity is essential though the use of an organic regenerative diet with strict avoidance of glyphosate-contaminated foods (which destroy beneficial gut flora).
Additionally, a whole foods based diet composed of increased polyphenols, flavonoids, healthy fats, and fiber are paramount to healing.
An integrative approach is necessary when helping those with Lyme disease and treatments stem from a multimodal tool box with suggestions outlined below:
A. Homeopathy
Borrelia nosode, Ledum palustre, Rhus tox, Arnica, Hypericum; target bite reactions, neuralgia, and post-infectious symptoms.
Classical prescribing based on total symptom picture yields the best outcomes.
Other forms of homeopathics are available using graded potencies of nosodes.
B. Botanical Medicine
Stephen Buhner’s protocols:
Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum) – anti-inflammatory, anti-biofilm
Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) – immune modulation
Andrographis paniculata – antimicrobial and hepatoprotective
Cryptolepis sanguinolenta, Sida acuta, Houttuynia cordata – target Babesia/Bartonella
C. Pharmaceuticals (judicious use)
Doxycycline, azithromycin, cefuroxime as first-line antibiotics
Pulsed therapy and biofilm-busters (e.g., lumbrokinase, NAC – precursor to make glutathione) may enhance eradication.
Prescribed courses of antibiotics may be required to match the life cycles (“hatching”) of the organisms.
D. Scalar Frequencies and Energy Medicine
Scalar frequency therapy targets microbial resonance patterns.
Anecdotal evidence suggests improved microcirculation and biofilm disruption, especially when combined with darkfield microscopy to monitor live blood response.
E. Dietary Approach
Anti-inflammatory and low-glycemic diet: eliminates gluten, dairy, refined sugar, processed oils.
Mitochondrial repair foods: wild-caught salmon, greens, turmeric, garlic, and fermented vegetables.
Detox supports: binders (chlorella, bentonite, zeolite), hydration, and mineral repletion.
Lyme disease and GMOs are two sides of the same coin: both are products of bioengineering without unified oversight. The divisions between medicine, agriculture, and ecology are artificial constructs designed to prevent systemic accountability.
It is time for a single, transparent biosafety authority to govern all forms of genetic manipulation whether in crops, microbes, or human therapeutics. Without this unified oversight, we risk repeating the same errors across domains of life.
The Lyme crisis underscores the failure of reductionist science. True progress will come not from more gene editing, but from restoring harmony between humans and nature. The same integrative principles that heal the body can guide a regenerative approach to science and policy.
Only by uniting medicine, agriculture, and ecology under one ethical framework can we safeguard life’s integrity.
