Ginger helps with nausea that comes along with Lyme flare-ups and/or Herxing. As the Spirochete worm die off, it releases toxins that can make you feel worse as more die, hence Herxing. Ginger also helps ease your stomach. On Amazon: Organic Ginger Root

Lemons
Including the lemon rind, peel, and juice are excellent for detoxing and reducing hex. They greatly help the immune system and are beneficial when it comes to reducing joint pain. 5 times more vitamin C than just utilizing the juice or taking a pill. Now my choice over vitamin-C pills. You will want to stay with Organic foods; with every item you can. I found one of the best suppliers of lemons, Organic Mountain available through Amazon: Organic Lemons
You can wash them and freeze them as there’s a lot of lemons in a 12lb case! I grate the lemon over many of my foods, meats, salads, drinks, and vegetables. It’s amazing how it makes the foods taste better while not being overpowering in lemon flavor.
Pineapple
Pineapple contains the constituent bromelain, which is as an anti-inflammatory agent. It has also been shown to be beneficial to CD57 cells, natural killer cells uniquely attracted to the Lyme bacteria Borrelia. Amazon’s best selection: Organic Pineapple Juice For those wanting an easier mix while being sure it’s organic.
Cherry Juice
Nothing but cherry juice. No sugars or any additives. This Cherry juice has a unique benefit of helping remove lactic acid that builds up in your joints due to inflammation. Unlike taking Aleve to reduce pain and inflammation that only works during usage, cherry juice helps permanently alleviate pain by helping reduce/remove what causes it. : Just Tart Cherry,
What not to eat during your fight
Nightshade vegetables should be avoided during inflammation time. These are: Tomatoes, White Potatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, and Tobacco. They tend to inflame the current damage, increasing swelling, and increase the pain mostly in your joints. This can slow the healing process and increase pain if you don’t heed to their abilities to do so.
Don’t worry, this wont be for ever! Being Italian I was missing these items during my sabbatical but now I’m back enjoying all again! I have won my battle with Lyme/Qfever!

DIY Tick Repellent
Here’s a great do it yourself tick repellent that’s easy, safe to use, and smells great! Using the essential oils mentioned below, mixed with coconut oil. Warm the coconut oil till it’s liquid. Actually it becomes a liquid at just above 76 degrees. A very strong solution would be mixing 1/2 ounce of each oil into 1/2 gallon of coconut oil. If you keep it cool, it makes for a nice rub. This keeps you from putting too much on or spilling it while it’s solid.
If you want to make a spray, mix 1/2 ounce of Natural Orange Cleaner with the same amount each of the essential oils first before mixing with with a gallon of green tea. The orange cleaner will help separate the oils enough to mix with the green tea, while the tea helps incapsulate the oils keeping them suspended throughout the solution.
If you are allergic to any of the oils, simply leave it out. Each of these are good repellents all of their own.

Non GMO Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
I just heard of a great way to remove a tick. Simply put a drop of peppermint oil on it. It will back out and walk away from the irritating oil. I imagine about any of these oils would do the same. But I’d rather not get bit again to find out! A common mistake is to try and use heated tweezers, but this could cause the tick to excrete toxins before releasing, mostly because you’re squeezing them into your bloodstream.
My ancestors handed down a recipe that helps heal cuts, abrasions, wounds, warts and would be a good salve to put on lodged ticks so they would back out without having to pull them out, and would help neutralize any toxins. Read more about what all it helps with for humans and animals here: pineplaster.com
I also just heard there’s a new strain of tick that only needs a few minutes, maybe 15 to 30 minutes to give you Lyme Disease. But in most cases, if you remove a lodged tick within 2 days, chances are they haven’t release enough toxins to do damage that your immune system can’t take care of.
Markers I Found Blood Testing for Lyme Disease
Download the pdf and take it to a blood testing lab. You should be able to walk in and request this yourself without making an appointment with a doctor. I got this from someone who worked at The Lyme Disease Instatute of Tampa. At the time of my first tests I did with 4 different doctors, none had any of these markers and all tests came back inconclusive for Lyme Disease. With this test, every marker indicated I had Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease Blood Test
