What Makes Lyme Disease Tick and How Samento Eliminates It

This pandemic that is currently spreading depicts how Lyme disease is more infectious and insidious than most known diseases and it is already prevalent on six continents throughout the world.

It is even less understood than AIDS, and although it is not feared as fatal by those who do not understand it, it greatly effects the lives of its victims because of the various symptoms which can be quite severe. Many times the symptoms seem to mimic or resemble so many other dysfunctions and ailments. For example, LD is symptomatic of diseases such as Parkinsonism, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome, fibromyalgia, lupus erythematosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and even depression and anxiety along with many other disorders such as Alzheimer's.

The cause of Lyme Disease is a result of an anaerobic spiral-shaped (spirochetal) bacterium known as Borrelia burgdorferi. When the first signs of this disease became recognized in the US, it was in Lyme Connecticut back in 1977. It was first thought to be an outbreak of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Then in 1982 entymologist William "Willy" Burgdorfer, Ph.D., began studying the various carriers of this disease and noted a variety of ticks, or 8 legged arachnids were the culprits to this fast spreading health crisis.

Now this organism has spread to about 100 American and over three hundred strains of various forms of Borelia exist worldwide. We know know the transmission of this organism can pass from being bitten by the infected tick, as well as fleas, mosquitoes, mites, congenital transfer, sexual contact, and also through food infection.

The organism also had the ability to change shape which made diagnostic testing quite difficult and inaccurate. And on top of that the the microorganisms are able to hide within body tissues which makes it hard for a person's immune system to respond.

Currently, Lyme disease continues to spread and also be misdiagnosed as no less than 368 illnesses.

Lyme Disease Treatments

Pharmaceuticals, and vaccines have not been all that successful at treating the disease for a variety of reasons. A vaccine which was manufactured for the disease is no longer available due to severe side effects. Now the standard method of treatment is ongoing doses of the conventional antibiotics for patients diagnosed early which also has some very negative side effects because prolonged antibiotic use destroys intestinal flora and can bring on severe candidiasis or other infections. If antibiotic treatment is shortened then it is not effective so this is clearly a problem in treating Lyme Disease through medical drug intervention.

Non Toxic Herbal Remedy for Lyme Disease

In Great Britain, Dr. Andrew Wright, a physician and surgeon began treating his patients who were suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and other similar conditions a nontoxic herbal remedy derived from cat's claw. Cat's claw is also known in the jungles of Peru as Una de Gato.

He discovered his patients began to respond very well and became his first therapy choice when treating clients. He went on to treat his lower extremity neuropathy and found it also responded and came to determine that is was also brought on by Lyme Disease.

Through self-administering Samento, Dr. Wright discovered the Borrelia organisms were eliminated from his body along with all neuropathy symptoms. He discovered that as long as he continued taking this herbal remedy he resumed normal functions, but if he slacked off symptoms began to return after a few days. Thus Samento is now a regular daily supplement for relieving symptoms that are associated with Lyme Disease complications.

Currently is it recognized that everyone is at risk to catch this disease because it is so difficult to detect and may have already reached epidemic proportions. One Dr., Charles Ray Jones, a pediatric specialist from Connecticut, goes on to explain that out of the five thousand children he has treated over two hundred and forty-five been born with this disease.

Another expert on Lyme disease, Dan Kinderleher, M.D., was on the Today show where he stated the disease to be way under reported by as much as ten times, even though over 1.8 million cases had been cited by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) in Atlanta, Georgia. This leads to the estimation that there may be as many as 250,000 to 300,000 new cases of Lyme Diseases contracted each year which makes it vital to develop early diagnostic detection mandatory which would aid in immediate treatment which may be the only way to prevent chronic Lyme disease throughout the country and eventually cure the widespread effects of the disease.

Herbal Remedies Effectively Treat Symptoms Allowing Patients to Return to Normal Lifestyle

Since Cat's Claw or Samento is exceedingly valuable as an antimicrobial therapeutic agent it may be one of the best solutions as discussed by a panel of four doctors who share their experiences treating patients. Along with this herbal treatment for Lyme Disease, digestive enzymes and detox remedies when combined provide a three fold treatment. One of the doctors reports, "I could offer hundreds of successful case histories in which Samento was my treatment of choice."

To whom it may concern, when my mother fell ill early this summer, my gut feeling was that it was Lyme disease. But it has not been diagnosed as such. She is very frail and weak, and getting weaker every day. Swollen hands and joints, aching muscles, headaches, fever, weakness, pain, heart burn, so many things. She is also burdened with a son with MS that needs her. He cannot walk without a walker and needs her to help him, but since this disease has attacked her, he has been helping her to the best of his abilities, opening doors and such. They live quite far from us so we cannot go help them everyday, so this has been on my heart and mind for quite some time. The doctors are testing her for everything else and don't like being told what to do, so I want to know how we can treat this without prescriptions. They said it was arthritis but the medication didn't help, so he sent her to a specialist, but with no results as of yet. We live in Northern Alberta where Lyme disease and ticks are not suppose to be an issue, so why would they test her for that, right? All her symptoms coincide with what I have researched so far, but with only a small rash. We need your help.

Dear Shelley, my heart goes out to you. If you have a Naturopathic Doctor in your area or your mother's area, you might want to call him or her to ask about your dilemma. You should insist that the doctors test your mother for Lyme's disease. Some doctors will be amenable to your suggestions, especially if you gently insist or copy the information down for the doctor to read. It is important to first obtain a diagnosis before treating your mother, and you must trust that her doctors are really doing the best they can for her. Maybe your mother and brother have a neighbor or friend nearby who can help during this trying time. If not, you might want to call the local public health authorities and see if there is a visiting nursing service which can assist or they might have other ideas for you. It is always more difficult and more trying when you cannot locally be present to oversee the situation. Good luck and seek help from the local community facilities.

Hi I'm not sure where to begin. Almost three years ago I was bitten by something on my leg and I am not sure what it was because I never saw anything. But it started out as a red circle and was clear in the middle. It looked really bad at first. I thought it was a spider bite. It looked so awful. But a couple weeks later I found myself in the ER because of severe headaches, nausea, fainting, blackouts. I was driving to work and opened my eyes just in time to stop before I ran off the road. I asked if the bite could be causing my problems and they shrugged it off and said I had migraines and anxiety. Now three years later I've been having more and more problems. They are getting worse. It scares me. Severe headaches, severe fatigue, confusion, memory problems, muscle aches and pains in arms, legs and hands, backaches you name it. I found out about Lyme disease by accident trying to find out if it were a spider bite. I can't believe all these symptoms I have. I had a blood test a year ago came back negative. I went to the ER yesterday because I am getting weaker and weaker. I love the outdoors and bow shooting, and I can't do that right now I'm so weak. The Dr. looked to be about twenty-four and was trying to ever so politely tell me I might have depression. I said had you told me that over three years ago I would have agreed, but I have never been happier. I am married to the love of my life, and we are very happy. She said well you can be happy and still be depressed. It depresses me when I can't get any answers to my problem, and I continue to get weaker as I watch my life pass by. I'm only forty-three. I have a lot of life to enjoy yet. But these Dr.s just keep lining their pockets. And not helping us. I am so frustrated right now. I just want and need some answers and a cure.
