Any one following by blog or knows me personally knows that I have been effected by LYMES DISEASE and that it has touched my life on a very personal way. I am constantly expanding my knowledge about this complicated and pesky disease and have dedicated much of my life to researching, experimenting and gaining any all information to share with you and the world. If I can help even one person it makes it worth my time. I am currently reading a great book called “HEALING LYME”. As a raw food enthusiast I also have studied with DAVID WOLF and recently seen an interview with him which focuses on the LYME EPIDEMIC here on the east coast and world wide. In short, there are 4 super sonic herbs that are a must have for the immune system and to fight off active or inactive lyme ( which a huge percentage of the population has but most likely will NEVER be diagnosed). David Wolf stresses a point which I agree with completely:
WHETHER YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH LYMES DISEASE OR NOT. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BOLSTER THE IMMUNE SYSTEM TO FIGHT OFF PARASITES, SPIROCHETES AND FUNGUS to be able to fight off illness and diseases that are introduced into our climate and region. Whether is lymes, asian flu, environmental toxicity or whatever these things will help to keep you healthy and strong. ya ready???????????
1) JAPANESE KNOTWEED (which I will focus on in this blog) It is also known as RESVERATROL)
2) SAMENTO, UNA DE GATO, or CATS CLAW: All go but the same name.
3) ASTRAGULUS
4) SARSPIRILLA.
I will blog about each individually, today I will start with the king of the crop. POLYGONUM CUSPIDATUM, aka Japanese Knotweed
Its tradional uses: tonic against Lyme disease, anti inflammatory, anti bacterial, nerve and brain tonic.
This plant acts as both symptom relief and as a massive healing treatment, in numerous ways and in all the body’s systems affected by the spirochetes that are the cause of the disease complex. Japanese knotweed both enhances and balances the immune function, as well as reducing inflammatory over response throughout the body. It is a strong anti toxin herb, protecting the body against the direct toxins of the infection as well as the toxins released when the treatment begins to kill invaders.
