Lyme Disease VS Stevia ?!?
When nature comes to our aid
Over the next 10 years in Quebec, Lyme disease is likely to see an exponential boom! It's no longer a surprise to many people, but the disease is insidious and very complicated to treat because of its ability to rapidly change form.
We're talking about nearly 300,000 people diagnosed in the United States alone! Although the health services boast that 80 to 90% of cases are said to be «resolved», the fact remains that 10 to 20% of sufferers see their disease persist and often become devastating!
Borrelia Burgdorferi, the big culprit! The problem is, it seems that this famous bacterium transmutes to better survive antibiotics, and that's where the ordeal begins!
Treatment in a hyperbaric chamber and large doses of antibiotics then become necessary, but antibiotics mean side effects... I'll spare you the horror stories, because having worked with severely affected people, I can confirm that some see their lives practically destroyed!
However, new research suggests that a less invasive long-term treatment could soon be available!
The European Journal of Microbiology and Immunology has revealed a surprising study claiming to put an end to advanced or chronic Lyme disease with a stevia treatment! That's right, stevia! That sweetener used to sweeten by reducing the calories absorbed.
The study revealed that stevia leaf extract had a powerful antimicrobial effect on B. burgdorferi. They tested the effect of different types of stevia and compared them with the antibiotics often used against Lyme disease (doxycycline, cefoperazone, daptomycin).
Of course, researchers are now embarking on more in-depth studies to develop it into a treatment for Lyme disease, but the outlook is more than promising!
Let's hope the authorities don't block the process, since stevia is far less lucrative than any other antibiotic for pharmaceutical companies.
In the end, imagine how much more «natural» Lyme disease treatments could become than the currently recognized and used methods. «Protocol for treating you ma'am: 90 minutes of hyperbaric chamber sessions a day plus your dose of stevia leaf.» Why not?
