Two years ago I discovered something VERY disturbing on the internet.... Google Lyme and no doubt you will see this SO CALLED miracle cure for Lyme and the various sites promoting it .... This is not a Cure for Lyme or anything else for that matter and may cause more harm than good. The recommendation for Sodium is less than 2400 mg daily.... Check any food label and you will see the amount of sodium per serving. Sea Salt which is generally recommended on this regimen contains ~ 2350 mg of Sodium in 1 tsp. This SO CALLED miracle cure recommends 5 - 10 times that amount. Excess SODIUM can cause problems with fluid retention, electrolyte imbalance, high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, gastric cancer and osteoporosis. Last year the IOM made recommendations to decrease dietary Sodium which may save ~ 100,000 lives a year. The food industry and restaurants are presently working on decreasing sodium in their products
. Please beware of this and other scams for Lyme disease.
When we first moved here I saw lots of deer in my back yard.... I thought they were beautiful!! I enjoyed looking out the window and seeing them walk, eat and relax... I knew little about Lyme Disease until I developed a rash on my chest similar to the rash below.. The rash was oval and gradually expanded. It didn't itch. Went to my doctor and he said in his professional opinion the rash did not appear to be Lyme... He sent me home with a lotion... As a result the rash expanded across my chest and then I developed 2 more typical rounded rashes on my legs...The bacteria had started to spread... GET treatment ASAP if you see an OVAL rash like this.... THIS rash is indicative of LYME DISEASE and requires immediate treatment...
