LYME ARTHRITIS

In the course of Lyme disease, one of the most common symptoms are problems with joints. Borelia bacteria attacks the connective tissue in the joints leading to inflammation, pain and consequent degeneration of the joints. The Borelia bacterium has a large affinity to collagen structures. Collagen is their main source of food. Feeding on these tissues damages collagen structures, which in turn contributes to the occurrence of symptoms from the affected organ or system. If the bacterium feeds on the tissue in the joints, it causes damage to the joints and degeneration. In the case of joint problems, it is important to strengthen the collagen structures and the use of anti-inflammatory herbs.

In the case of joint symptoms in the course of Lyme disease, Buhner recommends:
