Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi) to humans by tick bite (not all ticks are carriers of the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi). The name of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (ie -in the broad sense) is generic and can be about one or more strains of Bb involved in infection.

Lyme is known as -the disease with 1000 faces- because of that, affecting the entire body, its symptoms mimic those of other diseases, individual reaction to the pathogen is very different from person to person, hence the multitude of events, making lyme disease onset symptoms hard to spot.

The infection is systemic, affecting the entire body, through the 3 stages that are more or less distinct:
-Stage 1 - Chronic migratory erythema (CME) - Lyme Borreliosis usually begins with a characteristic skin lesion, chronic migratory erythema (stage 1).
-Stage 2 - Disseminated infection - After several days to weeks, spirochaetes can spread through blood to other organs in the body.
-Stage 3 - persistent infection - months to years later may show signs of serious complications.

We could define a common core of lyme disease onset symptoms, which applies to all patients, otherwise every patient reacts differently, depending on many parameters: length of illness, number of pathogens that cause infection, characteristics of the individual's own immune system, etc..

If the disease is treated quickly, immediately after the tick bite, the chances of recovery are greater. Otherwise you can reach a disseminated borreliosis, chronic borreliosis, with damage to the joints, cardiac problems and chronic ophthalmologic and neurological problems. In general, after 6 months of symptoms, we can talk about chronic Lyme disease.

Allopathic treatment is limited to antibiotics (repeated courses with high dose antibiotics combined periods of time / course - 4-8 weeks / course). SPA focuses more on boosting immunity, intake of antioxidants, vitamins and enzymes through a diet of raw vegetables or enriched fruit juices and vegetables and salad, green leaves, herbal teas, bee venom bites, pollen, etc..

-Symptoms of Lyme disease: -spot / spots which move around the body (ECM - chronic migratory erythema - early stage disease - Lyme stage 1); -sweating, strong fever; -muscle pain (like after a flu); -headache (like after a flu); -red spot at the tick bite; -weakness, fatigue; -sleepiness; -vision problems (the blurred, double, even disappearance of the visual field); -joint pain (Lyme stage 2 - already chronic phase / age of onset over 6 months); -pain in the tendons, the Achilles heel, etc..;

Other symptoms are as follows: -painful and / or burning muscle; -cardiac and neurological disorders (stage 3); -numbness of the limbs, head, etc..; -sting (as those of cactus); -tingling (like the skin had ants on it); -rashes as if you came in contact with nettles; -swallowing disorders; -urinary disorders (often urgent feeling to urinate); -dizziness; -headache; -sensation of -sand in the eye- or -itchiness in the eye-, etc..; -paralysis of the face or limbs; -psychiatric disorders, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessions, phobias, emotional disturbances (which mimic bipolarity), etc..
