"LYME Disease" - continued

So, the question for today is this . . . what's the CONNECTION between "Lyme disease" . . . and the hormone called "CORTISOL"???

Well . . . we first need to know that "conventionally" . . . about "90%" of all people that get "Lyme disease" . . . eventually "eradicate" it from the body.

"IF" . . . we have a "good" immune system to fight off this disease . . .

But . . . with that being said . . . it may take weeks and even a couple months to fully improve after taking "conventional antibiotics" to accomplish that mission.

Now . . . "if" we "DO" get "Lyme disease . . . this "infection" puts a large "stressor" on the body and its "immune system".

So, how does this work you ask???

Well, when this happens . . . a "MAY DAY" is called out to the "adrenal glands" to make MORE of the "stress" hormone called "Cortisol".

Now . . . this is a "normal" reaction of the body . . .

BUT . . . the issue here is this . . .

When there's TOO MUCH stress to the body . . . via . . . our WESTERN DIET . . . and all its "Omega 6 fatty acids" on a normal basis . . .

This "stress" hormone . . . "influences" the "immune response to this disease (infection) . . . leading to IMMUNOSUPPRESSION . . . and REDUCES the body's ability to COMBAT the infection.

And with this . . . it speeds up the "reproduction" of the "Lyme bacteria"!!!

So, the answer as to "why" some people get "Lyme disease" worse than other . . . would be . . .

The amount of "emotional and physical stress" . . . the body is in before we get "Lyme" . . .

And the "DIET" we consume!

Now . . . another hormone that "Lyme" can affect is . . . our Thyroid hormone.

You see . . . the inflammatory "cytokines" . . . that are produced in "Lyme disease" . . . impact our "Thyroid" hormones by messing up their signaling system.

Meaning . . . this hormone called TSH (thyroid-stimulating-hormone) now will DECLINE.

Add with this . . . the "conversion" from T4 to T3 . . . is now "reduced" . . . making us very tired with LOW energy.

So, how do we "normalize" the body and its function . . . so the body can "FIGHT" Lyme disease "quickly" and "efficiently"???

Well, tomorrow . . . we'll talk about that.
