Lyme/Tick-Borne Disease
We originally thought of Lyme disease as primarily an infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. In the decades that followed, researchers began identifying other tick-borne bacteria and toxins that frequently accompany Lyme infections. We have come to realize that the symptoms which we once described as “Lyme disease” frequently involve other bacteria, such as Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, or Mycoplasma, or rarer species such as the Rickettsia group or tularemia. Transmitted in the digestive tract of ticks or fleas, these pathogens may be carried by cats, rats, mice, deer, and other animals, depending on the microbe. These pathogenic bacteria are among the smallest known life-forms on earth. Unlike most bacteria, they are harbored within the cell as a virus would be or within the interstices between the cells, making it difficult for the immune system to dislodge them. Fungal toxins, heavy metals and chemical toxins may also be part of the picture. All of these being neurotoxic in nature. There are common mechanisms of action with all of these which can result in inflammation, build up in the cell and disrupt self-regulatory mechanisms.

This show builds upon the foundation built on a previous program, which aired 9/12/14, to delve again into understanding the complex diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease and its co-infections. In August, 2013, the CDC acknowledged that there are over 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease in this country each year, so our goal is to educate our listeners about this growing epidemic.
Helping the Unusually Sensitive Patient to Heal
Interview with Wayne Anderson, ND. We see many patients who cannot tolerate the typical doses of medications, supplements, and even homeopathics. This broadcast will be devoted to understand how this happens and how we can help those patients to heal.
Mycoplasma and Lyme Cases That Don’t Resolve
An audio interview with Dr. Wayne Anderson.
Dr. Wayne Anderson is a renowned naturopath at Gordon Medical Associates with three decades of experience in treating tick-borne diseases. He explains how mycoplasmas are the culprit in many Lyme cases that do not fully recover. . Dr Anderson’s experience pinpoints one of the ‘co-infections’ ticks also infect us with, mycoplasmas.
