Many of us in the 'alternative' health profession are very used to finding Yeast Infection and Chronic Fatigue symptoms side by side. After all, low immune function can result in increased risk of fungal infection. However, this could itself be evidence of a far more serious bacterial infection, Lyme Borreliosis - the bacterium that causes Lyme Disease.

There are about 150,000 people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in the UK. In an informal study conducted by the American Lyme Disease Alliance (ALDA), 90.3% of patients diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome were found to  have Lymes Borreliosis infection.

Lyme Disease is treatable with antibiotics, but some of the best results have been achieved with Samento.

Samento is now available in liquid form, which the manufacturers say is about 20 times the strength of their capsule form (and substantially more economical than capsules).

The Samento product page gives links to hundreds of scientific studies, and more will follow.

Watch this space for the latest information on Samento.

So, what is Lyme Disease?

Lyme disease is caused by a tick bite.

Infection may give no symptoms, or may cause only a rash around the site of the tick bite, or it may cause widespread disease that can affect many organs and tissues.

Who Is at Risk for Lyme Disease?

Everyone is at risk for Lyme disease, including newborns. "Of the 5,000 children I've treated, 240 have been born with the disease", says the world's leading Lyme paediatric specialist Charles Ray Jones, M.D.

A renowned authority in the field of integrative medicine, W. Lee Cowden, M.D. of Texas, who was present at the Brighton Conference this September, says:

"There are very few symptoms where you shouldn't consider Lyme, especially given that a quarter of the U.S. population may be affected. More than 50 percent of ill people may have Lyme contributing to their condition."

Investigations have shown a wide range of health problems to be associated with the infection:

Parkinson's Disease, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Crohn's Disease, Chronic Colds, Lung Infection, Asthma, Diabetes, Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hypothyroidism, and many others.

At September's conference, it also became evident that there may well be other ways of becoming infected - including other insects such as Mosquitoes and possibly even intimate human contact.
 

The NHS currently only employ the Elisa test which is perhaps 75% unreliable. The only effective tests are available from Igenex.com and bowen.com.

The true number of patients killed in the UK by the hospital superbug MRSA is double the official figure, according to campaigners of MRSA Support.

MRSA - or methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus - can lead to complications such as pneumonia, meningitis and blood poisoning. It is resistant to most antibiotics.

The bug is harmless to healthy people - and is carried by many in the nose and armpits - but can prove fatal to those with a weakened immune system and those having surgery.

Whilst MRSA is resistant to most antibiotics, early indications show that Samento is effective against MRSA.
