When the lyme dies, when it is killed by the antibiotics and our immune system, does it leave little holes in our bodies, our organs that then heal?

If it is like a worm, a tiny worm, it then weaves through our organs. when it is killed, it leaves holes I would believe.

MAYBE! that is why we get so sick. I my lungs get so sick, so raw feeling for hours and hours, I bet that is why. I bet that it why our bodies are in so much pain.

Then the holes have to heal.

This is truly a living nightmare.

An organ that has had lyme living in it for years, must take a long time to heal.

I bet that is why my lungs are like this. 15 years infected with that slime lyme.

I think you're imaginine the spirochetes as much larger than they actually are. They are tiny-- they live inside your red blood cells. Tiny, but very nasty indeed.
But it's good to have such a visualization, I think! Doing so will will enable the oneness of mind and body to kick in, enhancing your immune system.
When lyme dies, it what is left is worse than holes! It's toxins, lind of like holes filled with nasty thorns in them.... To heal, your body must eliminate these toxins, So drinking teas is good. Water is good.
I found green tea very helpful, though you must be careful with it-- it has some caffein, but not nearly as much as coffee. It is is very detoxing, in my experience well worth it. If you're aprehensive about the caffein, you can get decaffeinated green tea, but then you have to worry about what kind of decaffeination process is used. I would recommend 'Choice' green tea. (it's the best tasting, often least expensive, organic, and doesn't have plastiv embedded in the teabag envelopes.)

thanks,

I read that the spiochete swims through the tissues. I read it can live in organs.

Who knows! my head is not working. Just want to get them OUT! of me.

I am starting to drink green tea, and it is giving me a healing crisis. I had this happen before, and not sure why it is doing this now, who knows!

I saw a pic of the spirochete magnified and it looks like a worm.
A tiny worm.

Maybe it is the toxins then that make my lungs burn like acid. I have scar tissue in my nose from toxins coming out. I have the lyme in my sinus, and when it dies, it itches like mad!

thanks, am quite out of it now.

There also is a detox tea you can find in most health food stores. It was recommended to me by the naturopathic doctor that I see.

Oops. It is called pau d'acro tea.

I think thats a very legit question, and I think you may be onto a bit of something!

lyme doesnt JUST infect red blood cells. If it did, a blood exchange would cure us all.

it DOES get into tissues such as the bladder, intesttines, etc.

Very interesting.

Yes, and the brain, also. And skin cells, as well (causing rashes). Nasty. So tiny it just goes where it wants, metabolizing nutrients and your cells' cytoplasm, producing toxins the whole time. But it enters through the blood, and is initially transported throughout the body by the blood.
Since it is killing your cells, I guess you could look at it as "making holes"!

Yes, it could make holes, so added nutrition, would be needed, I think.

Something where our bodies do not have to digest. Such as the spirulina, or live vegie and fruit juices. Minimal fruit juices. Juices that would aid in the repair of out cells.

Green drinks, or some nutrional drink.
Food is good of course, but our bodies work so hard to digest food. They say that there is not the nutrients in the food as there was years ago.

Our poor bodies.
