“The biggest thing that’s changed during my journey is thinking differently about our relationship with microbes. I don’t think about chronic Lyme disease as an infection with a bacteria anymore. I think it’s better thought of as a reactivation of that bacteria, but also a lot of other microbes that have been dormant inside cells and tissues throughout our body, sometimes, often for many years. When cells containing dormant microbes get stressed, the microbes are allowed to reactivate, which means that chronic cellular stress is the primary element driving illnesses like chronic Lyme disease. So, sources of chronic stress include poor diet, exposure to toxic substances like mycotoxins or everything else in the environment, chronic stress and not sleeping, inactivity, sometimes it is a new infection like COVID that comes along and tips of balance, but you have to have all that stress adding up for this thing we call the chronic Lyme disease to happen. So, understanding this key principle is essential for overcoming the illness. For getting well, I consider herbs to be a central part of the equation. Herbal phytochemicals suppress reactivated microbes, protect our cells from all kinds of other stress factors, and balance stress hormones. You really couldn’t have a better match solution.” – Doctor Bill Rawls
