Lyme Disease

Looking at Inflammatory, Anti-Inflammatory and Other Immune Markers Associated With Lyme Disease The only laboratory we currently use is Radiance Diagnostics. Large National Commercial Labs have never had helpful results. Borrelia burgdorferi changes a broad network of cytokines and chemokines, and the direction and magnitude depend heavily on the tissue, stage of Lyme disease, Borrelia strain, host genetics, and whether […]

The Lyme Literate Author of 15 Books Quoting Shor Sweet wormwood, Chinese wormwood, and Qing Hao, Artemisia annua has been used for over 2000 years with particular attention to treating malaria. Active components of Artemisia annua include artemisinin, artesunate, and artemether, all of which are potent antimalarial drugs. The active ingredient artemisinin has been shown to have in vitro activity

A Top Lyme-Literate Practitioner With 30+ Years of Experience Looks at Venlafaxine (Effexor) and OCD Venlafaxine may be effective for OCD, including in patients who do not respond to SSRIs, with response rates ranging from 40% to 70% in clinical studies. Clinical Evidence Venlafaxine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), has been studied as an alternative to SSRIs for OCD. In

This is a book on Natural Medicine. But here are Synthetic Options Top and Emerging Synthetic Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Small-molecule pharmaceuticals; biologic monoclonal antibodies are excluded. I have separated established agents from newer/emerging targeted molecules. Ranking is approximate because potency and usefulness depend heavily on the disease. JAK/TYK2, PDE4, BTK, NLRP3 and RIPK1 inhibition are among the most important areas of

Quotes From Book on Anti-Inflammation Treatments Natural Anti-Inflammatories Top 100 Natural Anti-Inflammatory Agents Approximate ranking by strength of human evidence, reproducibility, biologic plausibility, and clinical relevance. “Natural” does not imply safe, and biomarker lowering is not equivalent to demonstrated treatment of a specific inflammatory disease. Curcumin / turmeric (Curcuma longa) — Modulates NF-κB, COX-2, LOX, NLRP3, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6;

Novel broad-spectrum candidates rather than standard drugs, #61–98 deserve a mention…. Especially quercetin, baicalein/baicalin, EGCG, curcumin, resveratrol, andrographolide, glycyrrhizin, berberine, lactoferrin, sulforaphane, fungal polysaccharides and β-glucans. Established antiviral = reproducible antiviral benefit has been demonstrated in humans, or the agent has a regulatory indication based on an accepted pathway such as the FDA Animal Rule. Clinical/limited = human data exist,
