Lyme Disease: The Hidden Battle with Co-Infections
I started to listen to a few podcasts and reading a few detailed articles about Lyme. Another rabbit hole for me to explore.
For starters, I learned there are 500 new cases a year that are diagnosed and there have not been any new treatment studies done in 20 years! (Perhaps these only include RCT pharma studies)
And to complicate matters, Lyme disease is rarely a solo infection. Many patients battle multiple pathogens at once—most commonly Bartonella and Babesia. These co-infections can complicate diagnosis and treatment, leading to prolonged illness and frustration.<div>
Have you or someone you know experienced challenges with co-infections alongside Lyme disease?
What strategies or treatments have been effective in managing these complex cases.
Do you have any great book or podcasts that you can share that may help others. (there is a link to one of the IMA articles below that includes links to a couple of webinars.)

Lyme Disease – The Hidden Battle with Co-Infections
Lyme disease is rarely a solo infection. Many patients battle multiple pathogens at once—most commonly Bartonella and Babesia. So why are these co-infections often missed?

I’m certainly struggling with Lyme, or something that behaves like it.
I think one useful avenue is Stephen Buhner’s work. He is kind of the father of alternative herbal Lyme (and coinfections) treatment, with a number of fascinating books and a lot of interviews/presentations. His full name (often used) is Stephen Harrod Buhner, and searching for that (or “Buehner”) will turn up a lot. The interview that first got me interested in him was back in 2017: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIRzVI5vdb8. (He’s also fascinating on the deep wisdom of nature, about which we’re mostly clueless.)
There’s another angle that I just ran across a few days ago, which I’m not yet fully familiar with (and hope I’m not mischaracterizing here), but am putting it out there just to have it on people’s radar. It’s laid out in a book called “Don’t Kill My Lyme: Just Get Me Better,” by Wyatt Palumbo. He’s an electrical engineer who ended up with a bad mold reaction and went through the whole process of endless useless specialists. He ended up at a wellness center, which herbal treatments ended his symptoms, but his bloodwork showed he still had Lyme bacteria and parasites. When these were attacked, he ended up in worse shape than he started. He ended up working with the center as a researcher, studying the many patients, and found something similar to the HIV/AIDS conundrum: people with horrible Lyme symptoms that didn’t have Lyme, and people with Lyme bacteria that had no symptoms. So his point is that a single-minded approach of attacking bugs isn’t the point, it’s getting well that is — hence the book’s title. It seems summed up in this passage:
“At Lifestyle Healing Institute (https://lifestylehealinginstitute.com/) we help explain the myriad of symptoms you may have, but there’s no denying that not one Lyme individual presents with just Lyme. Lyme is merely the catchall diagnosis that helps explain why you’re feeling terrible.”

Doctor Steven Phillips wrote a book “Chronic: The Hidden Cause of the Autoimmune Pandemic and How to Get Healthy Again”. A significant fraction of this book was about Lyme disease and the author’s battle with it.

Reading your post I realized our free range chickens have knocked out the tick population. Last spring here in rural Vt, before this batch of chickens matured, we were inundated with ticks.
I’ve also found geranium oil repels them(and other biting insects) as well as smelling lovely. We also take a homeopathic lyme nosode every week late spring through summer. https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Formulas-Nosode-Drops-ounces/dp/B07GJJ9R1X
