>>>When the Lyme is being killed, it produces its own neurotoxin in defense. This subsequently clogs the blood, lymph, liver and colon which slows down the detoxification pathways. And as long as the patient is in treatment for Lyme, detoxification needs to be ongoing<<<<<


This is the beginning of it:
>>>Detoxification can be an important method to support the patient during their healing crisis. As with many autoimmune cases, there are many factors. Neurotoxin overload is a common problem that affects many patients. The source of neurotoxins may be heavy metals, viruses, bacteria (in the case of Lyme), fungi, molds, parasites and protozoans. Some of the toxins actually target, impair and even damage the nervous system and the detoxification organs. This can further impair and block the route for normal excretion, causing an accumulation of toxins. This results in intracellular damage and further progression of disease.

In Lyme disease, the bacteria is a "smart" bug which wants to maintain its life within the person. It actually hides itself from the immune system. The Lyme bacteria is neurotoxic and, in order to survive, clogs up the lymphatic system and causes the blood to thicken. This leads to poor blood flow through the liver and a stickiness to the interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid is the fluid that bathes and nourishes the tissue cells. It also picks up microorganisms, foreign particles, enzymes, proteins, and hormones for processing through the lymphatic system. In addition to the lymphatic system, Lyme prefers to travel through the collagen more than the blood. Lyme disease is a systemic infection and it can invade and damage any and all organs, glands, and systems of our body. Lyme patients are also challenged by other co-infections that are often overlooked.
